Sai Miaoshou was enraged by Qian Youxue. This woman really thought that entering the Zhan Wang Mansion would give her a long-term protective charm. How dare she speak to him like that? He glared at Qian Youxue fiercely and roared, "Qian Youxue, don't think that just because you are the Zhan Wang Consort you can be so arrogant to me. I am here to treat the Zhan Wang only because of the Empress."
"So, in front of Lord Sai, even the Emperor's face is less than the Empress's. In other words, it was the Empress who gave you the audacity to come to my residence and intimidate my Princess?" Xuan Mingye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, each word spoken with force and conviction, without the slightest hint of joking.
Sai Miaoshou clenched his fists. If it weren't for the presence of that person in the royal palace, he would never have given this damned War King any face at this moment.
"This time, out of respect for the Empress, I will not pursue your crime of disrespecting the Princess. Uncle Cai, see the guest out!" Xuan Mingye said this, but he did not intend to have a direct confrontation with Sai Miaoshou at this moment. Similarly, he knew that Sai Miaoshou feared Long Bo's existence and would not be foolish enough to walk into his own grave.
Seeing this, Uncle Cai spoke up as a peacemaker: "Your Highness, please don't be angry. Surely Lord Sai didn't mean it that way?"
Since there was a way out, the skilled doctor naturally took it. Following Uncle Cai's words, he said, "I was too impulsive just now. If I hadn't treated the War King, I wouldn't have been able to explain myself to the Empress."
snort!
Xuan Mingye gave a cold snort, clearly not buying it.
To make the performance more convincing, Qian Youxue smiled shrewdly and spoke again, seemingly unafraid of death: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your leg is of utmost importance. Since Lord Sai has come to your door begging to treat you, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for him if you refused?"
What does it mean to beg for a doctor's treatment at someone's home?
Qian Youxue, you are far too presumptuous. One day, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death as a slave.
Sai Miaoshou was furious inside, and the smile on his face froze. He forced himself to step forward and cup his hands in greeting to Xuan Mingye. Seeing that Xuan Mingye did not object, he squatted down in front of Xuan Mingye.
Qian Youxue tactfully rolled up Xuan Mingye's trousers, wanting to see if Sai Miaoshou's skills were even better than the old Taoist priest's.
Half an hour, an hour.
Sai Miaoshou used the most basic method to tap Xuan Mingye's legs, and then applied acupuncture to Xuan Mingye's legs. The more she did it, the uglier her face became.
It's clearly just a matter of poor blood circulation; a normal acupuncture treatment should be able to restore blood flow. So why is it that even though the needles have been inserted, there's no reaction at all?
Must we use a elixir to reshape bones and muscles to heal these legs?
No!
The ingredients for the Muscle Shaping Pill are extremely rare, and most importantly, the success rate is terrifyingly low. Since he became a high-level alchemist, he has only successfully refined two pills. He swallowed one after being injured by that old man last time, and now he only has one left, which is stored in his spatial ring. As for him taking it out, unless…?
right!
If the Xuanwu Emperor is willing to offer the treasures of the Xuanwu Kingdom in exchange for the War King's legs, he can give away this elixir.
Having made up his mind, he slowly stood up, cupped his hands in a smile, and said, "I understand Your Highness's symptoms, but to cure Your Highness, I still need to discuss it with His Majesty."
Xuan Mingye, suppressing his anger, said coldly, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"
"Farewell!" Sai Miaoshou said, and left the War King's Mansion without lingering for a moment.
Uncle Cai originally wanted to see the guest off, but seeing the person's figure flash past and disappear like the wind, he could only stand there and smile helplessly.
Qian Youxue was on edge, worried that Sai Miaoshou would see through her. But then, upon closer inspection, something seemed off.
“He might actually have found a way to cure me and is thinking of using that method to negotiate with Father Emperor,” Xuan Mingye said thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, Qian Youxue suddenly realized and said, "He wants to use the Muscle-Sculpting Pill to negotiate with the Emperor."
"It must be. His attack on me earlier didn't work, so he thought of the Muscle Shaping Pill. I've heard that the Muscle Shaping Pill requires very special medicinal materials, and most importantly, the yield rate is extremely low. Naturally, he wouldn't easily part with it." Xuan Mingye knew that Sai Miaoshou had traded many lives to find the special medicinal materials for refining the pill. For him to give up the rare Muscle Shaping Pill, he would have to offer something much better in exchange.
snort!
With a cold snort and a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Unable to seize the White Tiger Kingdom's treasure, White Tiger Blood, they've set their sights on the Black Tortoise Kingdom's supreme treasure, Black Tortoise Blood!"
"The blood of the Four Divine Beasts!" Qian Youxue muttered to herself, her mind drifting to her younger brother's illness. She looked up excitedly and asked, "Is the White Tiger blood in the Prince's hands?"
"Of course, how could I possibly fail so easily?" Xuan Mingye said smugly. The injuries he sustained last night were caused by snatching the White Tiger's blood.
However, Xuanwu City is truly in turmoil; it's unclear where so many experts have appeared from. If he were only dealing with Sai Miaoshou, his chances of escape would be extremely high. But Sai Miaoshou somehow managed to find so many helpers, which is why he was forced to retreat injured.
White Tiger Blood, that's wonderful! With White Tiger Blood in Xuan Mingye's body, there's a way to cure my brother's illness completely.
Qian Youxue looked at Xuan Mingye with great joy, but this was something that he had risked his life for, and the White Tiger Blood was also one of the antidotes that Xuan Mingye needed to detoxify. How could he give it away so easily?
"Are you happy for me? I have obtained two of the four beast bloods, and I'm only missing the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon." Xuan Mingye saw Qian Youxue's excited expression and assumed that she was happy because of him.
Pooh!
You're overthinking it. Who would be happy for you?
Qian Youxue thought to herself, but didn't say it aloud. Before coming, she had wanted to remind Xuan Mingye to keep a close eye on Granny Zhou, otherwise, if she couldn't tolerate it any longer, she shouldn't blame her for taking action.
Now, she's glad she didn't say those words. If she had strained the relationship, the chances of getting the White Tiger blood would have been even slimmer.
hey-hey……
She forced a smile and said ingratiatingly, "That's right, the sooner your illness is cured, the more I can wander the world."
"Wandering the world?" Xuan Mingye looked at Qian Youxue in confusion.
For this woman who received almost no love in Qianjia, shouldn't what she wanted most be a stable home?
"That's right! My biggest dream is to travel everywhere, see things I've never seen before, learn some strange and wonderful things, and then carry forward the skills my master taught me." Qian Youxue shook her head to herself, her mind filled with beautiful aspirations.
Life is both long and short, so while we're alive, we should do what we want to do and not let this life go to waste.
It seems she dislikes feeling restricted and has a heart that yearns for freedom. A woman like that shouldn't be after money, yet his queen seems to be a miser.
