Chapter 19

Not only were the two elders a little confused, but Ye Fengtian—who had also discovered Rong Mo after hearing the noise—was even more confused. He thought that this high and mighty crown prince would no longer pay attention to his Ye family.

Could it be that the crown prince was only paying attention to his Ye family again because his niece had awakened to become a talent cultivator? The more Ye Fengtian thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Aside from this, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

However, as the three of them continued to speculate endlessly and come up with their own deductions and arguments, the high and mighty Rong Mo seemed to be riding the wind as he left by stepping on air from the rooftop of the Southern Palace. The direction he headed in was actually the same as the direction Ye Qianli left in?!

Furthermore…!

He seemed to have been looking in that direction the entire time. He did not even glance at Ye Fengtian, much less Su Lianhua, before leaving.

This…

“Exactly what’s going on?” Ye Fengtian was a little dumbfounded. However, as of this moment, he did not feel that Crown Prince Rong Mo had gone after that rebellious daughter of his, Ye Qianli.

The coincidence in direction was just a coincidence. Even the other two elders thought so, too. No one felt that Crown Prince Rong Mo would pay attention to a useless person.

“Prince Ye.” The two elders, who had come to a conclusion inwardly, had already walked in the direction of the original main hall. They acted as if they didn’t notice the mess here, and their expressions were quite gentle.

However, Ye Fengtian didn’t hide his embarrassment and said, “I’ve made a fool of myself in front of the Senior Grand Secretary and Doctor Jiang. Wicked daughter… Sigh, it’s the misfortune of our family. I hope that Doctor Jiang can feel the pulse of my wife.”

“You’re too polite, Prince Ye. It’s only right.” Doctor Jiang walked forward and asked Ye Fengtian to put Su Qin down before immediately taking her pulse.

“Doctor Jiang, how is it?” Ye Fengtian immediately asked once he saw that Doctor Jiang had finished taking her pulse.

“There’s no harm. Some of her meridians were only injured by the killing intent. She just needs to recuperate,” Doctor Jiang said in a placating manner before casting his gaze at the pale-faced Su Lianhua. “This person…”

“Please take my niece’s pulse, too, Doctor Jiang. She’s the child who awakened her Jade Rabbit Talent last night and was also injured by that rebellious girl just now. I do not know if she’s fine,” Ye Fengtian hurriedly said. He could also tell that Doctor Jiang valued Su Lianhua.

Otherwise, with Doctor Jiang’s status as the Chancellor of the Imperial Hospital, why would he deign to lower himself to greet a junior?

“Doctor Jiang, cough…” Su Lianhua was overjoyed inside, but there was a charmingly pitiful expression on her face. She even lightly coughed out blood.

However, she was not pretending to vomit blood. She had not recovered from her serious injuries to begin with, and yet she still came to watch Ye Qianli get into trouble. During this period, not only was she slapped by Ye Qianli, but the aftermath of the Nine Phoenix Sky Ornament and of Ye Fengtian’s palm confrontation also caused her quite a lot of damage.

“Oh, it’s Miss Su.” Doctor Jiang revealed a look of enlightenment at the right time. He immediately checked on Su Lianhua, but his forehead soon scrunched up.

When Ye Fengtian saw this, he revealed a grave expression instantly. Su Qin—who was already so weak that she was feeling faint—was still looking at Master Jiang’s expression and became even more anxious. Her breathing became chaotic, and she almost vomited blood again.

“Doctor Jiang…” Ye Fengtian quickly steadied Su Qin and could not help but ask at the same time.

However, the white-haired silver-browed old man immediately shook his head and signaled Ye Fengtian not to make a noise and disturb them. As such, the latter and Su Qin could only shut up and wait anxiously for the diagnosis outcome.

At that moment, Su Lianhua herself was no longer in the mood to be cocky anymore. She was also panicking as she looked at Master Jiang with an even more miserable gaze.

After a long while, Doctor Jiang released Su Lianhua’s wrist with a solemn expression.

“Doctor, how is it?” Ye Fengtian hurriedly asked. Su Qin and Su Lianhua were extremely nervous.

“I’m afraid it’s not good.” Doctor Jiang indeed gave him bad news.

“It must be that evil creature’s fault! I told you that she would only harm my Ye family. She, cough…” Upon hearing that, Su Qin was so furious that she coughed out mouthfuls of blood.

Doctor Jiang quickly fed her a pill and helped her to suppress her injuries before saying, “Princess Consort, you have wronged your daughter this time.”

“That is not my—Su Qin’s—daughter! How can a daughter abuse her mother like this? That is my enemy!” Su Qin uttered resolutely with a pale face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“…” Doctor Jiang found it difficult to respond. He changed the topic and said, “Miss Su’s injury is in her elixir field. She awakened her talent last night and was injured by the power of the Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire. Although she would not lose her life because she swallowed the Jade Dew Pill, it left behind the root of her illness.”

“How can she be cured?” Ye Fengtian asked hurriedly.

“It’s not easy to treat. Unless we find that talent cultivator of the Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire and ask them to draw away the fire aura in Miss Su’s elixir field, then use the Arctic Ice Black Crystal as the main ingredient to concoct an efficacious pill refined together with the Tian Yu Night Queen Flower,” Doctor Jiang explained.

“…” Ye Fengtian didn’t say anything after hearing that. Putting everything else aside, just this Arctic Ice Black Crystal alone was a natural treasure that wasn’t that easy to find.

“Fengtian…” Su Qin tugged on Ye Fengtian’s clothes, with tears falling before she had said anything.

“If it isn’t cured completely, will there be any future troubles? Will it endanger her life?” Ye Fengtian asked instead.

“It won’t endanger her life in the short run, but it will have some effect on her talent. If she doesn’t cure it completely for a long time, she won’t be able to awaken her second talent, and the power of her first talent will be weakened, too. As Prince Ye should know, for a talent cultivator, their elixir field is the most important thing. If there’s a problem with the elixir field, there will be problems with their innate talent as well,” Doctor Jiang explained.

“Uncle, this is too tough for you. Hua’er doesn’t need to be cured completely. It’s already very good that I can awaken my first talent. It’s the Ye family’s greatest gift to Hua’er,” Su Lianhua said miserably.

“Hua’er, don’t talk nonsense. How could your talent be wasted because of this? You will definitely be cured!” Su Qin immediately promised weakly as soon as she heard that.

“That’s right. As long as I can fulfill the prerequisites, Uncle will definitely do his best to let you recover completely. There’s no need to say anything else. This talent of yours can be considered the talent of our Ye family as well. How can we let you weaken like this?” Ye Fengtian promised, too.

Su Lianhua was over the moon when she heard that. Who would have thought…

“I’m afraid that it can’t be cured. We can’t find that Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire talent cultivator. I’m afraid that he is a capable individual of foreign origins; he has already left our Vermilion Bird Dynasty.” The white-haired, silver-browed elder dampened their enthusiasm instead.

“…”

Ye Fengtian, Su Qin, and Su Lianhua were all dumbfounded. However, Doctor Jiang said yet again, “Perhaps, with the help of a talent cultivator of the same level or higher, I can combine the use of the Nine Mystical Fire Needle with that wonder pill to draw out the aura of the Extraordinary Fire.”

At this point, Doctor Jiang stopped talking. Everyone present immediately thought of Crown Prince Rong Mo! If there was anyone else in the Vermilion Bird Dynasty who had awakened a talent above the fifth level, it would be Crown Prince Rong Mo.

However, would Crown Prince Rong Mo undertake this task?

The few people present had their own guesses. Little did they know that the Crown Prince, Rong Mo, who had no idea that he had been ‘targeted’ by them, had completely exceeded their expectations and was blocking the front of Ye Qianli.

“Please move aside.” Ye Qianli expressed that she was very unhappy now. Therefore, even if it was a handsome man blocking her way, she was not in the mood to admire him at all.

However, just as she spoke coldly, her chin was being lifted again!
