With her feet back on the ground, Jun Wu Xie was calm and composed as she smoothed out her clothes and adjusted the collar that Xiong Ba had messed up.
Feng Yue Yang immediately came to stand beside Jun Wu Xie, and he crossed his hands in front of him and bent his back fully to offer Jun Wu Xie a full and proper ninety degree bow!
That scene, made everyone in the room all stunned in shock.
What kind of a status was Feng Yue Yang holding? In the hearts of all the physicians there, he was like the pinnacle of strength, the Purple Spirit! And on this day, with his full head of white locks, his unsurpassed skills and knowledge in Medicine, Feng Yue Yang was actually bowing in complete deference to a little lass that was barely fifteen years of age in front of everybody!
Everyone in the room fell into complete disarray at that instant.
“This old man was too blind to see your brilliance and I have erred by just seeing the sky from within a well and gravely misunderstood Miss Jun. I would hereby like to ask for Miss Jun forgiveness.” Feng Yue Yang’s tone of voice was no longer tinged with the aloofness and indifference from earlier, his speech was even laced with a slight trace of tremble now. That slight tremble in his voice was coming from the excitement and agitation he was feeling at that moment.
“No matter.” Jun Wu Xie replied indifferently, not showing the slightest sign of being overwhelmed at all. Towards Feng Yue Yang’s sincere apology, she had no qualms about accepting it.
The entire room of people were staring at Feng Yue Yang, highly flustered, completely oblivious to what was really happening. Why had Feng Yue Yang suddenly shown such deference to Jun Wu Xie with such a big bow, and had even apologised to her!
“Senior Feng?” Xiong Ba’s face was twitching slightly. “What you said earlier, what does it really mean? What were you referring to when you said….. Young Miss’ saviour and benefactor?”
Feng Yue Yang glared at Xiong Ba once again and said: “You and your always muddled mind. If those clumsy hands of yours had harmed Young Miss Jun earlier, when we get back to the Thousand Beast City, this old man here will surely report you to the Chieftain, to make you reflect well on your actions.”
Xiong Ba was feeling highly aggrieved about his situation. Even after having suffered repeated bouts of sharp rebuke from Feng Yue Yang, he still did not know what was going on.
Feng Yue Yang sighed and said: “This old man had also been foolish, and had nearly committed the same mistake as you. Fortunately Miss Jun is generous and forgiving.”
Jun Wu Xie shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
Feng Yue Yang continued to say: “Do you know what was the result I got when I took our Young Miss’ pulse the second time?”
Xiong Ba shook his head.
Feng Yue Yang crooned out: “Our Young Miss has fully recovered from her injuries and she is now only suffering from a slight deficiency in her blood. Her heart meridian has fully healed and the spirit power within her body has returned to its normal state.”
“What?” Xiong Ba exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes widening with shock.
The youth named Qing Yu also showed a little anxiety as he inquired for more details: “What Senior Feng means is…..”
Feng Yue Yang said: “Although I do not know exactly what Miss Jun did earlier, but our Young Miss has indeed made a full recovery. She will only require a little more nursing and she will be as good as new. Now, do you realise what a dumb thing you had actually done earlier, you fool! You had very nearly hurt our benefactor who just saved our Young Miss! And you still have the cheek to glare at me! ?”
Feng Yue Yang’s words had just barely fell when loud gasps suddenly sounded from everyone in the room!
Volume 9
Chapter 874 : “Face Slap – Ninth Form (4)”
Nobody would suspect Feng Yue Yang’s words. If he concluded that Qu Ling Yue had fully recovered, then that must be true!
But all the physicians there were people who had given treatment to Qu Ling Yue in the past few days and the extent of Qu Ling Yue’s injuries were naturally well known to them. They found it unbelievable that Qu Ling Yue could recover in such a short period of time….. It had only barely been a blink of an eye, how was that possible?
Xiong Ba’s face was one of utter shock as he looked at Feng Yue Yang before turning his head to look at Jun Wu Xie standing calmly at the side.
“Rea….. really?” Xiong Ba stuttered.
“You think I will lie to you?” Feng Yue Yang said derisively.
Xiong Ba’s towering frame trembled slightly.
He turned to face Jun Wu Xie in a hurry and immediately fell onto one knee and said solemnly: “I have been rude and have offended Miss Jun earlier. I hereby ask for Miss Jun’s forgiveness!”
The fierce and aggressive Raging Blaze Hall Chief had actually gone down on one knee to apologize to Jun Wu Xie. The sudden turn of events had caused everyone present to be struck completely dumb.
How was it even possible that Jun Wu Xie had been able to cure Qu Ling Yue’s injuries? That was undoubtedly just a joke!
All the physicians in the room were shocked into speechlessness by the scene before their eyes and they were almost about to lose their minds, not knowing whether it was all a dream or reality.
“Just get up.” Jun Wu Xie said.
Xiong Ba stood up after that and his face was still filled with a trace of awkwardness, looking highly apologetic. The fierce and aggressive demeanour from before vanished into thin air. Instead, the eyes looking at Jum Wu Xie seemed guilty and remorseful.
“Miss Jun, what really happened to our Young Miss in regards to her injuries? What did you do earlier? Why did she suddenly recover?” This time, Xiong Ba was highly courteous and respectful with his tone of voice when speaking to Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie replied: “She wasn’t even injured at all. Hence, there was no need for all this fuss.”
“Not injured?” Xiong Ba looked at Jun Wu Xie in confusion.
Jun Wu Xie immediately walked over to Qu Ling Yue’s bedside and lifted up Qu Ling Yue’s smooth hair exposing her neck. On the fair skin of that neck, was three silver needles, stuck halfway into the flesh. Right at the centre of the three surrounding needles, under that skin, was a faint bruising that showed up against the otherwise smooth white skin.
“This is?” Feng Yue Yang’s eyes immediately flashed in puzzlement when he saw the bruise. It was in an area that was well hidden, at the back of Qu Ling Yue, hidden under her long luxurious hair. Even he had not noticed the abnormality earlier himself.
“Sometimes, to make someone look like they had sustained severe injuries, you do not actually need to inflict any physical harm, but just seal her meridians to make the pulse chaotic and the effects will show.” Jun Wu Xie explained.
It finally dawned upon Feng Yue Yang. “What Miss Jun is saying, is that our Young Miss had not been injured? But she had displayed such signs in her pulse because someone had intentionally manipulated it to look as such?”
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
Imperial Physician Li looked on as Jun Wu Xie explained the situation and his face drained of colour immediately. He was trying very hard to hide the nervousness in his heart and slowly moving towards the back of the group of physicians bit by bit, thinking of slipping away from the room surreptitiously.
“Imperial Physician Li, aren’t you going to explain it all to everyone here?” Jun Wu Xie’s voice suddenly raised up without turning!
All eyes turned upon hearing the voice calling out to the Imperial Physician who was preparing to slip away.
Imperial Physician Li’s pale face looked at Jun Wu Xie, and he hurriedly put on a brave face and said: “Why would I need to explain anything! ?”
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie lifted an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curling up chillingly. “When I released the sealed meridians for Qu Ling Yue the last time, her symptoms had completely disappeared then.”
Volume 9
Chapter 875 : �
�Face Slap – Ninth Form (4)”
“Oh?” Jun Wu Xie lifted an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curling up chillingly. “When I released the sealed meridians for Qu Ling Yue the last time, her symptoms had completely disappeared. But interestingly, after just one night, she suddenly suffered a relapse of her injuries. Unless someone had sealed her meridians once again that very night, such a situation would not occur.”
“I am very curious about one thing. The entire group of physicians here had taken full charge of Qu Ling Yue’s treatment the past few days and in the night, all of you had even arranged a rotating shift to watch over her. So who was the one who secretly inflicted it on her? Wouldn’t Imperial Physician Li have anything to say about that?” Jun Wu Xie asked smilingly, her eyes clearly sparkling.
She had not thought that she would be able to fully treat Qu Ling Yue’s condition the first time but had come with the intention of probing out the culprit. But now that she had a clear picture of what exactly transpired, she didn’t mind giving the culprit a taste of his own medicine!
“How….. How would I know who did it? There were more than ten of us on a rotating shift every night and the person would be watching over Miss Qu alone. There is no way we will know who the culprit was.” Imperial Physician Li said, trying to bluff his way out.
“Is that so? Then we will have to ask Hall Chief Xiong to investigate into this matter properly, to find out who the culprit is. Who would have the audacity to make use of Qu Ling Yue to falsely incriminate someone? Qu Ling Yue is the esteemed Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City and her identity is unique, and highly different from common people. Just who would want to make use of Qu Ling Yue’s injuries to incite the rage of the Thousand Beast City?”
Jun Wu Xie did not speak everything on her mind. She knew that what she said was already enough.
Xiong Ba’s brows immediately creased up as expected and said: “I thank Miss Jun for the reminder. I will personally look deeply into the matter, and will not allow the person who had intentionally harmed our Young Miss to get away scot free.”
Jun Wu Xie nodded.
The Emperor and the Fourth Prince wanted to use Qu Ling Yue’s injuries to anger the Thousand Beast City and frame it upon her while discrediting the Crown Prince’s name at the same time. So, she had merely made a slight adjustment to the incident so that when the truth behind Qu Ling Yue’s injuries was revealed, the person the Thousand Beast City would like to question would no longer be the Crown Prince Lei Chen, but….. the Yan Country’s Emperor himself!
This bitter fruit, will be her gift for the Emperor and the Fourth Prince to swallow.
“Imperial Physician Li. This matter calls for a thorough investigation and I will have to trouble all of the physicians who had had a hand in treating our Young Miss to cooperate with the Thousand Beast City. Before the incident is all cleared up, I will have to ask for all you gentlemen to not leave the premises.” Xiong Ba’s face was dark and threatening, as he forcibly took all the physicians into custody.
Imperial Physician Li was suddenly in a panic and he said to Xiong Ba in a fluster: “What is the meaning of this, Hall Chief Xiong? Even if an investigation is needed, since the incident had occurred in our Yan Country’s Imperial Capital, it would naturally be investigated by the Yan Country. Hall Chief Xiong is our esteemed guest who had come such a long way and you should just leave the matter to the constabulary in the Imperial Capital to handle it for you.”
Xiong Ba snorted derisively and said: “Leave it to the Yan Country? The incident happened to our Young Miss right here in your Yan Country’s Imperial Capital and the culprit who dreamt up this scheme who harmed her might very well be someone from the Yan Country as well. Why would I want to leave it to the Yan Country to handle its investigations! ?”
Xiong Ba’s blunt words spat forth without restraint almost caused Imperial Physician Li to vomit out blood, unable to find words in rebuttal. His panicked eyes quickly turned to Lei Chen standing at the side, suddenly thinking that the only person who would be able to stop Xiong Ba from taking them into custody for interrogations at that moment was only the Crown Prince of the Yan Country!
“Your Highness Crown Prince! You are the heir to the Yan Country’s throne. I implore for you to speak up for us in regards to this incident. If the matters of the Yan Country are instead handed over to the Thousand Beast City to deal with, and word of it leaks out, the Yan Country’s name will be shamed.” Imperial Physician Li voice was tinged with panic and his demeanor towards Lei Chen had suddenly improved dramatically, without the arrogance and disrespect from before.
Volume 9
Chapter 876 : “Face Slap – Ninth Form (5)”
As to what exactly happened here, Lei Chen would have guessed it in his heart. But regardless what he thought about the matter, it was still an internal issue that happened within the Yan Country and Lei Chen wouldn’t want to see the Thousand Beast City develop any enmity against the Yan Country because of this.
Lei Chen narrowed his eyes and even though his thoughts echoed Imperial Physician Li’s, he didn’t really want to save the bunch of quack doctors before him. But as the matter would still ultimately affect the relationship between the Yan Country and the Thousand Beast City, he wouldn’t stand to gain anything if that relationship soured because of this.
Just as Lei Chen was about to open his mouth to say something, he suddenly saw Jun Wu Xie’s cold clear eyes and he froze in that instant.
Jun Wu Xie was obviously telling him not to get involved in the matter.
Lei Chen hesitated a moment before he said: “What Hall Chief Xiong said is right. The incident had indeed occurred due to the lack of our Yan Country’s hospitality. I am also wishing that Hall Chief Xiong can find out who is the culprit behind this and let’s leave the investigation in Hall Chief Xiong’s hands.”
Xiong Ba nodded in satisfaction while Imperial Physician Li’s face was looking more panicked. He stared at Lei Chen in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that Lei Chen had so easily agreed to Xiong Ba’s request.
“Your Highness! Your Highness Crown Prince!” Imperial Physician Li called out in a desperate plea.
Lei Chen refused to even look at him.
The other physicians looked at Xiong Ba’s immense frame towering over everyone and they all trembled, knowing that even all of them put together would still not be a match against that giant of a man.
Since Xiong Ba had already made his stand clear and Lei Chen had agreed to it, the matter had become a fact and there was no way out of it anymore, they had no other choice be to surrender themselves to it.
“The crisis suffered on our Young Miss had been averted this time all because of Miss Jun’s help. Xiong Ba’s brash actions had offended Miss Jun before this and I beg that Miss Jun forgives me. If Miss Jun does not mind it….. I would like to ask for Miss Jun to continue to take care of our Young Miss’ condition with Senior Feng.” Xiong Ba turned his head to look towards Jun Wu Xie, his eyes immediately turning earnest, his tone sincere and respectful.
Jun Wu Xie swept her gaze over Xiong Ba and was silent a short moment before she said: “I can.”
A smile immediately broke on Xiong Ba’s face, and he thanked Jun Wu Xie profusely.
Meanwhile, the pale faced Imperial Physician Li was secretly staring at Jun Wu Xie. He really could not understand how something that had even escaped the notice of the highly revered Dive Doctor, Feng Yue Yang had been instead noticed by this little girl? And she had even resolved the ailment so easily.
Jiang Ying Long was ashamed of himself and followed Xiong Ba’s instructions to temporarily “invite” all the physicians to stay behind in the inn, to await Xiong Ba’s interrogation of all of them.
The entire bunch of physicians in the room who were all just talk retreated out of the room and only the three people from the Thousand Beast City was left in there with Jun Wu Xie and Lei Chen.
With all the superfluous people out of the place, the wo
rds that had been kept inside Xiong Ba’s chest finally had a chance to be spoken out aloud. “Miss Jun is from the Qi Kingdom, why had you suddenly appeared here in the Yan Country’s Imperial Capital? As to the real reason that caused this incident to happen, I believe Miss Jun already has a good idea in her mind. But I do not know what other considerations are on Miss Jun mind that had stopped you from revealing the truth in front of everybody earlier.”
From seeing Jun Wu Xie having easily resolved the mystery behind Qu Ling Yue’s condition, to watching her calling out to Imperial Physician Li just as he was attempting to escape, Xiong might not be highly intelligent, but he was still able to recognise that this beautiful young girl before him had a highly intelligent, quick and nimble mind in her head.
She would surely have seen through quite a bit of the culprit’s schemes.
Jun Wu Xie was not surprised by Xiong Ba’s query. She walked over to a chair at the side and sat down, pouring herself a cup of tea before slowly taking a sip from it.
Volume 9
Chapter 877 : “Face Slap – Ninth Form (7)”
Then she replied: “The matter has nothing to do with the Qi Kingdom at all. It was only because of the Crown Prince’s request that I lent a hand to save Qu Ling Yue. As this incident is a matter between the Yan Country and the Thousand Beast City, the Lin Palace has no intention of getting involved in it. The Qi Kingdom is not prepared to stand against an enemy like the Yan Country.”
Qing Yu then said: “I understand Miss Jun’s concerns about this and we are highly grateful of the Crown Prince’s help in this matter as well!”
Suddenly finding himself on the receiving end of their gratitude, Lei Chen was surprised. He had thought that after the matter had been revealed, the Thousand Beast City would undoubtedly harbour intense hatred against the Yan Country. But things seemed to have turned out slightly differently from what he had thought and he subconsciously turned to look at the side of Jun Wu Xie’s face before it finally dawned upon him.
