Chapter 81: The Ye Clan’s Brother and Sister
Ye Qing Han was relatively humble, but there was a sense of distance towards everyone. It was difficult to see him reveal a smile from the bottom of his heart to anyone.
Ye Qing Le, the little princess of the Ye Family, had a very lively and cheerful appearance, but she rarely truly approved of anyone. No one had ever seen her display the intimacy that she did today towards anyone.
Many people were puzzled by the attitude of the Ye Clan’s brother and sister towards Lou Mu Yan. Those who didn’t know Lou Mu Yan’s identity were all wondering who she was.
It was the first time for Xue Ling and Xin Ying Xuan to see Ye Qing Han display such a gentle side to a woman. In particular, the joy and warm colour in his eyes pricked their eyes.
Xin Ying Xuan had already found out Lou Mu Yan’s identity before. From her point of view, this woman was just a fallen noble. The only thing that made her fear was the mysterious ‘Master’ behind Lou Mu Yan.
Originally, she wanted to immediately get rid of Lou Mu Yan, but the other party had the Marrow Cleansing Pill. After the superiors of the Ten Distinguished Clans received this news, the moment this Trial ended, they would definitely go to Yan’zhou Kingdom to discuss this matter. The Elder of her Clan also warned her not to make a move without permission and lose a great opportunity because of something small.
Xin Ying Xuan’s eyes were grim. After she was warned by the Clan, she decided to temporarily let Lou Mu Yan go and wait for the Xin Clan to obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pill first before killing her. But now looking at Ye Qing Han’s attitude towards Lou Mu Yan, her heart was burning with jealously. She just wanted to rush up and scratch open that gorgeous face of hers completely.
“Elder brother Mu Bai, Mu Yan.” At this time, several people from the Ling Clan also walked over from another direction. The leader was a red-haired young man and a gentle woman in plain clothes.
“Fei Hao, Fei Li.” A warm colour flashed across Lou Mu Bai’s eyes.
Lou Mu Yan also smiled and addressed: “Elder cousin brother, elder cousin sister.”
The two of them were precisely the most promising of the younger generation in the Ling Clan, Ling Fei Hao and Ling Fei Li. They were Lou Mu Yan’s second uncle and third uncle’s child respectively. They were two years older than her, and they treated her fairly nicely.
Towards the rest that followed the two, Lou Mu Yan didn’t have a strong impression. She supposed that they were the pupils of the Ling Clan who just came to participate in the Selection Trial and wasn’t from the main bloodline.
Only when they saw Ling Fei Hao and Ling Fei Li greet Lou Mu Yan, did many talents of the Ten Distinguished Clans realise her identity. But they still wondered how Ye Qing Han and Lou Mu Yan met. The relationship between the two was obviously not shallow.
“I’ve long heard my maternal grandfather say that Mu Yan’s Terminal Meridians constitution had been eradicated. But it was unexpected that we’d meet in this Trial. I hope we can participate in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony together.” Ling Fei Hao’s sunny and energetic face revealed a lovely dimple.
Ling Fei Li beside him glared at him, “We’ll speak of these matters in private.”
This little boy spoke regardless of occasion. Didn’t he see everyone’s eyes were cast on them?
“Let’s find a place to have a conversation first.” Ling Fei Hao was just too excited to see the Lou brother and sister, so now that he had calmed down, he proposed.
Lou Mu Bai nodded and smiled gently at the Ye Clan’s brother and sister, “Mu Yan, you should accompany your friends and have chat.”
He could see that Ye Qing Han was looking for Lou Mu Yan for something. Although he didn’t know how they met, but as long as the other party wasn’t malicious, then it was fine.
“Alright. I’ll chat a little with Qing Han and Qing Le. Eldest Brother, you guys talk first.”
Then, Lou Mu Bai and the people from the Ling Clan walked to a distant grassy area to sit and chat, while Lou Mu Yan’s arm was wrapped around by Qing Le’s and was pulled under a large tree not far away. Ye Qing Han erected an Elemental Energy soundproof barrier.
Seeing Ye Qing Han’s hesitate in speaking, Lou Mu Yan understood. She took Qing Le’s hand to take her pulse, “Let me take a look at Qing Le’s body first.”
Ye Qing Le was plagued by years of disease, and this time, it was because she had taken a pill the Clan’s Alchemist had refined that could temporarily suppress the foetal poison, that she could follow into the Glacial Mountain Range.
She had long heard from her elder brother and Old Lu that Lou Mu Yan had excelling medical skills. Elder brother had even successfully advanced to the Sword King stage because he took the Marrow Cleansing Pill that Lou Mu Yan gifted. So she had long wanted to see the woman they constantly spoke of.
Sure enough, she didn’t disappoint at first glance today. She had a good impression of this woman who was only a year older than herself.
Now that Lou Mu Yan wanted to check her pulse for her illness, she relaxed her body and allowed her to check.
After changing Ye Qing Le’s hand and continue to check her pulse, Lou Mu Yan’s brows furrowed together slightly. Then, after a while, she let go and fell into deep contemplation.
“Mu Yan, how is it? Can Qing Le’s poison be cured?” Seeing Lou Mu Yan furrow her brows, worry couldn’t help but rise from Ye Qing Han’s heart.
Ye Qing Le was more optimistic. Since she was a child, she knew that she might not live past twenty years old, so this time she begged the superiors in the Clan to allow her to follow her elder brother to experience the outside world, “Elder sister Mu Yan, I’ve been living with this chronic illness for years, if there’s no solution, then it’s also normal.”
Lou Mu Yan was just thinking deeply about how to cure Ye Qing Le’s poison, yet who knew that it’d cause a misunderstanding from the two. She smiled back and said: “Although the foetal poison in your body is deep, but it hasn’t corroded to the internal organs yet. As long as you cure it within a year, then it’ll be fine. If we drag the time longer than a year, the foetal poison flowing in your blood will slowly corrode your internal organs, and by then it’ll be more troublesome.”
“Then you mean Qing Le could still be saved now?” A light burst from Ye Qing Han’s eyes.
Ye Qing Le froze and a look of hope rose in her eyes as she stared at Lou Mu Yan, waiting for her answer.
Although she had a cheerful and optimistic temperament, but every time the foetal poison erupted within her, she always had the urge to commit suicide. If it weren’t for her family, then she would’ve long been unable to continue to live. Now, if there was a way to completely eradicate the poison from within her body, then it would be the best result for her and her family.
“Yes, she can be saved. But because the poison had already blended with her blood, it’ll be a bit troublesome to deal with. I still need to refine an antidote pill to be used together with the Golden Needle Treatment.”
Lou Mu Yan paused, then added: “It’s just that I think the treatment should be postponed until after this Trial is over.”
Ye Qing Le’s foetal poison wasn’t difficult to solve, it was just troublesome to handle. During the treatment, it also required her to treat Ye Qing Le with needles every day for a month. In the Glacial Mountain Range, they would separate immediately to complete their own Trials, so she couldn’t be treated.
“No hurry. I’ve been like this for so many years, I don’t care about waiting a little more.” Ye Qing Le was happy. She didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan really had a way to treat the foetal poison in her body. This made her feel a sense of hope that had never risen in her heart before.
Ye Qing Han also revealed some excitement in his eyes, “Everything’s fine as long as it can be cured!”
“Don’t worry, I can cure this poison, I promise!”
Lou Mu Yan could deeply feel the pain of having a chronic illness. Judging from Ye Qing Le’s foetal poison, she would have an outbreak of intolerable pain almost every two months. To be able to live until now and still maintain such an optimistic temperament, it meant that Ye Qing Le was extremely tough. She admired such a girl very much.
“Mu Yan, a mere ‘thank you’ is an insufficient response to such a huge favour!” Ye Qing Han thought for a while and popped out this sincere sentence.
Lou Mu Yan lowered her head and chuckled, then raised her head and looked at him jokingly, “I still haven’t treated Qing Le yet, your thanks is too early.”
“I believe you!” Ye Qing Han’s handsome, sharp and angular face revealed unconditional trust. Since the time they went to the Blazing Mountain Range together, an inexplicable feeling of trust grew in him towards this woman.
“Elder sister Mu Yan, I believe you too!” Ye Qing Le smiled beautifully, with trust in her eyes.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were also dyed with a layer of deep warmth. She was very touched by this trust and was happy from the bottom of her heart.
