Ning Yao nodded: "They said they would go to my house in three days, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"Then you should hurry home and wait, Qingzhou City is quite a distance from Licheng!"
"It's nothing, it's just the time it takes to eat a meal, I have plenty of time. Besides, I've already made arrangements with Brother Zhou, there's no reason for me to go back on my word!"
Zhou Yan found Ning Yao more and more pleasing to the eye: "Brother Yun is so straightforward!"
Zhou Yan's family was well-off, with servants to attend to them, so they must have been a wealthy household in the city.
However, Ning Yao did not deliberately learn about the situation in the city and did not know who the wealthy families in the city were.
He hit it off with Zhou Yan at first sight, and after a few rounds of drinks, he managed to get Zhou Yan drunk.
After instructing the Zhou family servants to make proper arrangements for the people, Ning Yao led Yun Xiang and Nan Shan away from the Zhou residence.
After many twists and turns, the two returned to the backyard of Yingkelai.
"If that Taoist priest wasn't Chen Sheng, could his master be?" Yun Xiangnan asked.
Ning Yao said, "It's not certain yet. We'll know when they come to our door in three days."
"There's another problem. Your eyes need to be healed first. I haven't met Chen Sheng before. I need you to come in person to identify Chen Sheng in three days."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiang and Nan Shan replied, "I'll do whatever you say!"
"Extend your hand, let me take your pulse and see what's wrong with your eyes."
Yun Xiangnanshan reached out her hand.
Ning Yao channeled a wisp of spiritual energy, slowly probing into her meridians, gradually approaching her eyes.
I could only feel that her veins were covered with a little golden substance, which increased as it moved towards her face.
Finally, a thick layer of golden substance blocked her view of her eyes.
Ning Yao immediately concluded that these symptoms were exactly the same as Zhao Xin's!
However, Zhao Xin's symptoms were life-threatening, while Yun Xiangnanshan's symptoms were blindness.
Ning Yao withdrew her hand and asked her steadily, "You caused this blindness yourself, didn't you?"
Yun Xiangnan pursed her lips and said, "Why do you say that, young lady? It was clearly Chen Sheng's bowl of medicine that blinded me back then!"
Ning Yao said, "Don't worry, what I mean is that Chen Sheng's bowl had something added to it, the purpose of which was to make you suffer from illness and eventually die slowly. But you used a method to transfer all the added stuff in the medicine to your eyes, saving your life but also going blind."
"Moreover, this thing entered your body, and you suppressed it all in your eyes. The small amount remaining in your body also prevents you from using force. In addition, the lock on the door was also made of this thing. It is naturally able to counter Yun Xiangshi, so you have been trapped for sixteen years, right?"
"You know?" Yun Xiangnan asked uncertainly.
“There is a woman in Songyang City with the exact same symptoms as you, but she does not know martial arts and does not know the cause of the disease. She can only let that thing wander around in her body, and she will die in a month.”
Yun Xiangnan asked with a hint of expectation, "You saved her?"
Ning Yao said, "That's right!"
"So you can save me too, right?"
"certainly!"
Yun Xiangnan was overjoyed. Of course, she knew what Chen Sheng had given her to drink. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died from that bowl of medicine long ago.
But she was no ordinary person; she was from the Yunxiang clan. She had a way to deal with that thing, but she would have to pay a different price.
The price she paid was blindness and sixteen years of imprisonment.
Yun Xiang Nanshan knelt down: "Please lend a helping hand, young lady. Regardless of which clan you belong to, Nanshan will repay your kindness with all her might and will not fail you!"
Ning Yao helped her up: "There's no need for you to repay me with your kindness. Just tell me the secret of Yunxiang City."
"Since I dare to reveal my identity, I have nothing to fear. If Yunxiang City is destined to be with me, I might as well lend a hand. If not, I certainly won't kick someone when they're down and become another Chen Sheng!"
Yun Xiangnan thought for a moment and then agreed, saying, "This matter requires you to go to Yunxiang City in person. I did not inherit the family business, so there are many things I cannot know. My parents and sister should know very well."
Seeing that she had relented, Ning Yao didn't say anything more. The trip to Yunxiang City was something she had planned to do anyway.
However, with someone from the Yunxiang clan leading the way, many things will be much easier.
"Don't rush. First, heal your eyes, then capture Chen Sheng, and then we can talk about going to Yunxiang City."
"I'll treat you now. It might be a little painful, but you have to hang in there!"
Yun Xiangnan nodded: "Please, young lady!"
Ning Yao placed her hand on her wrist again, this time releasing even stronger spiritual energy into her meridians.
Wherever the spiritual power went, it devoured all the gold on the meridians, transforming it into spiritual energy which Ning Yao then absorbed into the secret realm.
When the spiritual energy invaded her body, Yun Xiangnan felt a slight stinging pain, starting from her wrist and gradually moving closer to her eyes.
After the initial stinging sensation subsided, I felt quite comfortable. However, around my eyes, the slight stinging turned into a sharp, needle-like pain.
The pain intensified, and Yun Xiangnanshan found it increasingly difficult to endure. Sweat slowly beaded on her forehead, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Although Ning Yao closed her eyes and earnestly removed the golden impurities from him, her breathing still became heavier.
"Bear with it. It didn't hurt before because there wasn't much of that stuff in your meridians. It hurts now because you've transferred it all to your eyes. If you can't stand it, just scream."
Yun Xiangnan gritted her teeth: "I can do it, please continue, miss!"
Ning Yao didn't care whether she was in pain or not. Her spiritual power had already begun to slowly devour the golden substance, and the transformed spiritual energy was all flowing into the secret realm.
There was a slight tremor in the secret realm.
The eyes are a very delicate part of the human body, and even Ning Yao needs to be very careful.
Controlling her spiritual energy, she spun around and around. With each rotation, Yun Xiangnanshan's pain intensified, and her resentment towards Chen Sheng grew stronger.
After the last bit of golden substance was transformed into spiritual energy, the pain instantly subsided.
Ning Yao did not store it in the secret realm, but instead controlled it to travel through Yun Xiang Nan Shan's entire body again, using spiritual energy to nourish her meridians.
Now, Yun Xiang Nan Shan's kung fu is not only unrestricted, but it will even improve significantly.
The spiritual energy that had nourished Yun Xiang Nan Shan's meridians was almost gone.
The golden substance transformed into spiritual energy, nourishing Yun Xiang Nan Shan's meridians, which can be considered a cause and effect.
Ning Yao withdrew her spiritual power, opened her eyes, and saw that Yun Xiangnan was covered in sweat and her face was pale. She then took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
"It's done. You can open your eyes now."
Yun Xiangnan slowly opened her eyes. Even though the light in the room wasn't too dazzling, she still had to try several times before she could barely adjust to it.
Feeling the light once again, she couldn't help but cry out, clutching the handkerchief Ning Yao had given her tightly in her hand.
"Sixteen years! A full sixteen years! I, Yun Xiang Nanshan, have finally seen the light of day again!"
