Chapter 743
"How … how could you do this?"
Qiu Tong was exasperated. She walked to the bed and covered Ou Yan's body with the blanket again and again until only her shriveled head was exposed.
"How could you be worthy of Miss' special treatment?"
Qiu Tong did not intend to let her go. "I know you've grown up, but you can't …"
Zhang Xiaohua quickly put her finger to her lips and said mysteriously, "Sister Qiu Tong, don't say anything. I'm just thinking. I think I've found a way to save Miss."
Her words worked. Qiu Tong immediately shut her mouth and did not say another word. The way she looked at Zhang Xiaohua changed again, as if the person in front of her was the most adorable person in the world.
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and thought carefully.
The Bewitching Finger was nothing more than sealing the major acupoints in the brain. It was like trapping a person's thoughts. Then, a special method was used to lure the person whose acupoints were sealed to tell the truth.
Zhang Xiaohua used the Bewitching Finger to treat Ou Yan. Of course, she did not need to go through the last step. She only needed to try sealing the major acupoints in the brain and see if there was any effect.
After thinking about all the methods carefully, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Tong, stand aside. I have an idea. I don't know if it will work. Let me try."
Qiu Tong hesitated and asked, "What do you want to do?
If there's anything like taking off her clothes, I'll have to do it. You'll have to cover your eyes! "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly. "There's no need. I'll just seal a few acupoints in Miss's head. It won't damage her reputation."
"Then … that's fine."
Qiu Tong moved aside and asked, "Then … you won't turn Miss into an idiot, right?"
Seeing that Qiu Tong was so distrustful, Zhang Xiaohua felt rather helpless. But thinking about it, these techniques were all in the category of martial arts and had nothing to do with treating illnesses. Ou Yan was more important in Qiu Tong's heart than anyone else. It would be strange if she was not worried.
"I know how Miss treats me. How can I do something I'm not confident in?
Moreover, if Young Miss is like this, isn't she worse than a fool? "
Zhang Xiaohua muttered in her heart, "This is my first time using it. Who knows if there will be any consequences?
If it doesn't work, I'll just release it. "
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was very confident and that she didn't have any good ideas, Qiu Tong could only step aside. However, her eyes were already fixed on Zhang Xiaohua, afraid that he would do something inappropriate.
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head slightly and walked onto the bed. She slowly raised her left hand and extended her index finger. Then, with a slight movement, it was as if a cool breeze had brushed past one's face. She had sealed several of the major acupoints of the Bewitching Finger. She had even used her Immortal True Energy!
Zhang Xiaohua released her divine sense and carefully examined it. Her face revealed a mixed expression of joy and worry.
She was happy because the life force that she had sensed was fading away, and it had slowed down. She was worried because the Bewitching Finger only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. It couldn't stop the life force from fading away. Moreover, from the looks of it, Ou Yan seemed to be in a deeper sleep.
"Hurry up and do it!" Qiu Tong urged. "Are you not confident?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and smiled. "I've already done it, Big Sister Qiu Tong. It should be effective."
"It's effective?" Qiu Tong was stunned. She stared at Ou Yan for a long time and said in confusion, "Isn't Miss still in a deep sleep?
Why do you say it's effective? "
Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to explain it to her. She could only point at Ou Yan's face and say, "Big Sister Qiu Tong, look. Didn't Miss' face turn a little green earlier?
And now, it's faded a lot, right? "
"Is that so?"
Qiu Tong was surprised. She stared at her for a long time before saying, "It seems so. Your … your hand really worked?"
Zhang Xiaohua snickered inwardly. "What do you mean? I didn't even see any changes in my face."
However, her face was still serious. "So, Big Sister Qiu Tong, you have to believe me."
"I believe you, I believe you."
Qiu Tong hurriedly said, "But … how can you wake Miss up? She won't wake up and won't eat or drink. How can she live on?"
Of course, Qiu Tong was still the most considerate and attentive. Zhang Xiaohua hadn't thought of this at all.
When she heard this, Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. She took out a jade bottle and handed it to Qiu Tong. "Big Sister Qiu Tong, this is Rejuvenation Valley's' Fasting Pill '. I don't know if you've heard of it before. You can stop eating or drinking for seven days after taking one. There are three pills here. Help feed Miss."
Qiu Tong took it and poured out one pill without hesitation. When she saw the tasteless pill, she couldn't help but blurt out, "This … is this a pill?
Why doesn't it have any fragrance at all?
How would I dare to feed Miss this? "
"I'm not sure. In any case, Rejuvenation Valley's Valley Master Nie gave it to me. Don't you think it's true?"
Zhang Xiaohua didn't bother to explain and directly pushed all the blame to Valley Master Nie.
Rejuvenation Valley's reputation was resounding, and Valley Master Nie was a god-like figure in Qiu Tong's heart. When she heard that Valley Master Nie had personally given it to her, her suspicions turned into trust and she immediately fed it into Ou Yan's mouth.
The 'Fasting Pill' melted as soon as it entered her mouth and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance. Qiu Tong no longer had any doubts and only praised it endlessly. "As expected of Rejuvenation Valley, the place Miss often talks about. This pill … tsk tsk, there's nothing to say. It's different from other people's pills.
Miss hasn't eaten or drunk much for several days, and a single 'Fasting Pill' was able to cure her. Valley Master Nie of Rejuvenation Valley is truly a god! "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she smiled wryly. However, mortals judged others based on their reputation. If one heard too much, they would think that the person's skill was profound. If one hadn't heard of the person before, they would think that the person's skill was low. Other things aside, Valley Master Nie couldn't compare to her in terms of pill refinement. However, when she took out the pill, Qiu Tong was suspicious again and again. When she said that it was a gift from Valley Master Nie, and that it wasn't personally refined by Valley Master Nie, this pill immediately became a treasure. Was this … the effect of word of mouth?
"Everything in the world is like this!"
Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself. "It's not just pills and martial arts. It's the same for the biographies and novels that ordinary people read!"
Zhang Xiaohua was about to warn Qiu Tong about a few other things when she heard an angry roar from outside. "You brat, who are you?
How dare you barge into the lady's room? "
Zhang Xiaohua was so focused on Ou Yan's condition that she forgot to pay attention to what was happening in the courtyard. Qiu Tong was the same. When she heard the angry roar, she realized that someone had entered the room.
Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw an old man with a red face. He walked into the hall and glared at her. His one-armed right hand was raised and pointed at her fiercely. Wasn't this Elder Yu, who taught her the Nameless Sword Art?
Zhang Xiaohua looked up and allowed Elder Yu to see her face. Elder Yu couldn't help but be stunned. He looked her up and down and was about to speak again when Qiu Tong said, "Good morning, Elder Yu. Why did you barge in without saying anything?"
Seeing that Qiu Tong was very calm, Elder Yu snorted and said, "I already called you in the courtyard, but you didn't answer at all. I was afraid that something might happen, so I barged in.
Who … who is this brat? "
"Who?" Qiu Tong mocked, "Can't you tell who he is with this face?"
"Zhang Xiaohua?" Elder Yu exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"How is this possible???"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly in her heart. This sentence had been repeated countless times by her old friends when they saw her face. In fact, even she herself didn't know why her appearance hadn't changed after so many years.
"Greetings, Elder Yu. This little one is indeed Zhang Xiaohua."
Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the room and bowed respectfully. This Elder Yu had taught her, so she couldn't treat him lightly.
"Are you really Zhang Xiaohua?"
Elder Yu was still in disbelief. "This is really inconceivable. It's been four to five years, so why haven't you changed?"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't be bothered to explain. She took out Chasing Dream and handed it over. "This is the small sword that this little one used back then. Elder Yu has seen it before, so it can be considered as proof."
Elder Yu took it and looked at it. He nodded and said, "This sword is not bad, but …"
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. Why do I have to prove that I'm really Zhang Xiaohua every time I see someone?
I might as well be Ren Xiaoyao. "Why don't I put the label of Zhang Xiaohua on my forehead?"
Zhang Xiaohua didn't explain. She took Chasing Dream and stood up. She casually executed a few moves of the nameless swordsmanship that Elder Yu taught her. At this moment, Elder Yu's eyes were filled with warmth. "The sword moves are exquisite, and you can move freely. Zhang Xiaohua, it seems like you've practiced these moves quite a bit!"
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Yu. This swordsmanship is truly amazing. It has saved my life many times over the years."
"Good, good."
Elder Yu stroked his white beard and looked at the eastern room. He turned around and asked, "Qiu Tong, how is the young miss?"
Qiu Tong recounted what happened last night and this morning. Then, she said, "Zhang Xiaohua said that he has a way to treat the young miss. First, he has to seal the acupoints on her head …"
"What?
Seal the acupoints on her head? "When Elder Yu heard this, he immediately stood up." Zhang Xiaohua, you … how can you act on your own accord?
Don't you know that the acupoints on the head are the weakest? If you're not careful, you can seal the acupoints on the young miss' head. Even this old man doesn't dare to seal the acupoints on the young miss' head. How can you be so daring when you've only learned how to seal acupoints for a few days? "
After speaking, he didn't waste any more time with Zhang Xiaohua and rushed into the inner room. Qiu Tong didn't know martial arts and didn't know the importance of sealing the acupoints on the head. When she heard Elder Yu's rage, she thought that something big had happened. Her expression changed and she glared at Zhang Xiaohua before following Elder Yu into the inner room.
Zhang Xiaohua calmly sat on the chair with one leg crossed over the other. He actually picked up a teacup and leisurely sipped the tea. Then, he heard a faint voice from the inner room. "What time was it?
What do you mean just now? You … How should I describe you? Qiu Tong, Zhang Xiaohua is still young. It's fine if he messes around, but you … Ai, this old man will take a look first … "
