Chapter 168: Chapter 171: Cunning as a Ghost!

“””

“Jiuyu Mountain? Is it that very Jiuyu Mountain which caused a huge uproar in Dongli Country a while ago?” Elder Yue exclaimed in surprise.

“Your master went there?”

“Yes!” Feng Yu nodded, “The master received news that there was an ancient relic there, which might have a way to treat his injuries, so he went there alone!”

“Afterwards, when the master’s injuries flared up, by the time we arrived, he was already fine! According to him, he was saved by a blind girl!”

As Feng Yu spoke, he recounted the situation at the time, even describing the changes in Ye Qianming’s meridians.

“Because we were not certain about the changes in his injuries at that time, and because we needed to search for that girl, we didn’t have time to inform you about this matter,” Feng Yu explained.

“I see,” Elder Yue nodded.

That would make sense then!

No wonder Ye Qianming’s meridians looked like they had been burst by medicinal power!

He had thought this lad’s meridians were already so fragile, needing strength to nurture them every moment just to maintain normalcy, yet he dared to do such a life-threatening act! It turns out it was to verify the changes in his own injuries!

However… the one who saved him was just a girl?

And a blind one at that?

Elder Yue found it very unbelievable in his heart!

One should know that if he claimed to be second in Alchemy Technique, then no one in this world would dare to claim they were first!

Yet even so, despite following Ye Qianming for so many years, he had not been able to heal his injuries by the slightest bit!

At most, he could only delay the pain when his injuries flared up, letting him quickly get through that period of time!

But now… a girl… moreover, a blind girl, had actually achieved what he had not been able to?

“Are you sure your master was saved by a girl? I mean, is he really sure about her age not being great? What is her cultivation level?”

Upon asking this, the expressions on both Feng Yu and Beiqing’s faces immediately became odd.

“It was indeed a girl,” they nodded, “And about her strength… according to the master, she is at the Martial Master Realm… However, the master did not manage to keep her.”

Speaking of this, the two of them tacitly concealed the fact that when they found Ye Qianming, he had a bite mark on his lip.

Well… the dilemma of the master being captivated by her beauty and playing around, only to let her slip away, absolutely could not be mentioned!

It would be a serious blow to the master’s wise and valiant image!

“Pfft!”

Before they could finish speaking, Elder Yue couldn’t help but spurt out a mouthful of water.

“Are you two teasing me?! Martial Master Realm? And she managed to escape from your master’s hands? Do you have any idea what level of strength your master possesses?!” He glared at the two.

Such heartless joking!

Was this a mockery of his intelligence?!

“…” Beiqing and Feng Yu twitched at the corners of their mouths.

What they said was all true!

Even though it sounded indeed like a joke…

“Elder Yue, it’s true. We still haven’t found the person,” Feng Yu said.

Just then, Elder Yue suddenly called out.

“Wait! You said you haven’t found the person yet? Then what’s with your master’s injuries?” he pointed at Ye Qianming lying on the bed.

“Could it be ghost treatment?!”

Beiqing and Feng Yu hadn’t spoken yet, when a cold and deep voice suddenly resounded in the chamber.

“It was ghost treatment!”

Ye Qianming’s eyes were cold, and he had woken up without anyone noticing.

He closed his eyes slightly, his heart filled with gnashing teeth.

That woman, was indeed as cunning as a ghost!
