Chapter 97B: Subduing the both of them
Sitting perfectly straight with their backs relaxed, Yuan Xin and Yong An were completely silent. Their expressions were also blank as they could only continue to be helplessly held into a deadlock by Luo Qing Luan.
Time ticked slowly by and the room was silent. n.o.body spoke. Luo Qing Luan was clear when she saw their att.i.tude. They were obviously going to renege!
Smiling lightly, Luo Qing Luan was not surprised at all. If she wanted to do something, there was nothing she couldn’t do. She was thinking harder on how she would capture these two, but they refused to comply, causing her to look forward to the day where they would beg her.
As long as she acted, it would merely take a bit of martial arts for her to force Yuan Xin and Yong An to write that story. They might even draw it!
“Yuan Xin, you got a serious injury three years ago and almost right, didn’t you?” Suddenly, Luo Qing Luan spoke and her voice was light.
The expressionless Yuan Xin trembled slightly. How did Luo Qing Luan know about it? He thought that his Master had told her before, so he came back to his senses and said, “I did.”
However, he was now already considered half of Luo Qing Luan’s subordinate. As long as it would not endanger Lord w.a.n.g, he could still answer a few meaningless things.
“At that time, your chest was injured. It penetrated into your inner organs and you were unconscious for a long time and lost a lot of blood, right?” Luo Qing Luan added on.
He was already certain that it was Nalan Ye who told her. Although Yuan Xin was curious how she knew it in such detail, he still nodded, “That’s right. Young Miss Luo, what do you want to ask?”
Without replying to him, Luo Qing Luan continued, “To this day, your chest will hurt every month, right? Although it’s not very obvious, it consumes a lot of your inner energy. There will also be residual effects as a result of your injury that you cannot control. This is especially so when the weather is cold and gloomy. Even if n.o.body acts against you, won’t you feel uncomfortable?”
“You…” Yuan Xin was increasingly surprised and subconsciously said, “How did you know?” Although he had a few brothers in the Dark Palace who knew about his injury, Lord w.a.n.g was the clearest on his fatal weakness, which was that he could not use too much inner energy or else complications would arise.
Lord w.a.n.g had always helped him to conceal this point and did not let anyone else know. This was in light of the fact that his responsibility was to protect Lord Ye. Having this fatal weakness was dangerous, so he would definitely keep it secret.
Even if Lord w.a.n.g did tell Luo Qing Luan about it, how did she know that his body felt uncomfortable during bad weather?
He had never mentioned this to anybody else before. Whenever this happened, he would just endure it. It wasn’t that painful, and most people couldn’t tell. However, why… did Luo Qing Luan know this?
When she saw Yuan Xin’s stunned expression, Luo Qing Luan knew that she was right. Although she had not paid attention to Yuan Xin’s pulse, this kind of lasting repercussions was already apparent on his face. She could recognise it after looking at him a few times, it wasn’t a big deal.
Thinking of how powerful her master was as the ghost doctor, he had once gone to the villa of some big shot. Even the patient had no idea, but after seeing a type of flower in his garden, Ghost Doctor Fu immediately knew what sickness that person had as well as his warning signs. After being sick for such a long time, hearing that the other party had it under control came as a huge shock, and he didn’t believe it.
It was naturally because the body of this big shot rejected this flower. It was a rare situation and her master had picked it out at a glance.
However, it was evidently because of this that she learnt most of what he knew. Being able to recognise Yuan Xin’s illness was simple.
She looked around, then looked at Yong An again.
“Yong An, you have some issues too, right?” She said lightly while looking very mysterious. Although he was a little surprised that Luo Qing Luan could tell that his brother had some issues, when she talked about himself, Yong An didn’t believe her, “Sorry, Young Miss Luo, your subordinate is well and does not have any issues.” Luo Qing Luan looked up and said, “Since you have no problems, then why has your martial arts stayed stagnant for a year?” His expression changed and Yong An was going to respond when Luo Qing Luan said, “Not only os, but don’t you feel sometimes that there are times during your practice that you can’t move as you will? Even your recent bouts during cultivation are at a standstill? Sometimes, your mind is chaotic and there are warning signs that you might accidentally end up with a qigong deviation?”
Qigong deviation? Initially, he felt like his cultivation was somewhat unfavorable and would get irritated. Now that Yong An heard Luo Qing Luan mention the two words ‘Qigong deviation’, he finally reacted.
Nowadays, with his att.i.tude towards cultivation, was it not precisely an omen for a qigong deviation? Although he had not recognised it yet, he was rather upset that he was not improving. How would he have known that it was that serious?
Yong An and Yuan Xin subconsciously glared at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Initially, they thought that Luo Qing Luan had only won because she had played them. However, hearing what she just said, they finally saw that she had quite the eye and ability.
It was Yong An who spoke first, “Lady Luo, you’re telling me this… is it because you have a way to help me solve it?” When he said this, he did have a faint bit of hope. If she was really able to cure them, then…
“I am able to recognise it, so I naturally have a way to solve it.” The moment Luo Qing Luan said it, their eyes lit up with glee, then heard her continue, “Of course, if I just say it like this, you may not believe me. Yuan Xin, I should just help you take a look and help you solve it simply, how about it?
