Chapter 468 Ma Ling’s state (1)

Ma Yuan used all his will to stop himself from instantly rushing to where his daughter was. He softly approached her along with Yang Qing, as his body shook from head to toe, with a myriad of emotions flooding him.

“Greetings, sister Tan Jie, how is she?” Yang Qing asked the lady in green robes standing next to Ma Ling.

“Yang Qing..” the young lady removed her line of sight from Ma Ling to them as she nodded in greeting.

“Other than interference to her memories, everything else is okay. We checked her for curses, and the nature of her qi to see if it was tainted with deviant arts, trigger implants, and the like, and she was absent of them.

It seems like the memory-altering gu was the only thing she was subjected to. It should take six months to completely repair the damage it had caused? while also undoing some of the changes it may have done…”

“Your daughter will be okay..” she gently added as she addressed Ma Yuan who was already in tears at her reply as a look of relief washed over him.

“Thank you..” he softly muttered under chalked emotions.

The lady called Tan Jie nodded, as she dispelled the water barrier filled with runes that was covering Ma Ling.

“You can talk to her if you want. It will also give us a baseline for marking her progress. We know she has forgotten a good chunk of her life, but we don’t know exactly which parts. You conversing with her could help with that..” Tan Jie said as she stepped back allowing Ma Yuan some room at his daughter’s side.

“Thank you for handling this, Tan Jie..” Yang Qing secretly said to Tan Jie via his palace sense.

He had told Yu Gen to bring Ma Yuan’s daughter specifically to Tan Jie after the fight at the Ice Emerald Sect.

She was one of the youngest talents of the Medical Valley and was also personally tutored by Ren Shu due to her talents.

She had the cosmic rainwood natural physique which gave her mastery over both wood, and water elements, and also had light attribute mixed in. Her physique also gave her a soul that was stronger than most.

The advantages it afforded her made her one of the best blue-grade physicians around the Medical Valley.

Due to her talents, she was always very busy, and the cases she dealt with were tough ones. She handled only Order employees, and the ones she handled were those from the peak of the core formation realm to the palace realm.

Ma Ling’s case would have been something that would have never come at her door on a normal occasion if not for Yang Qing.

The duo could be considered close friends. They got acquainted through Ren Shu, who in a bid to recruit Yang Qing to the Medical Valley, had also personally taught him a few of his techniques, and usually when he did so, Tan Jie was always present too, receiving alternate guidance on her own.

Even though he had no intentions of joining the Medical Valley, learning their techniques, especially from a peak domain expert like Ren Shu who doubled as a gold-grade alchemist and physician would not be a bad thing, and on occasion to pay him back, he did offer his services to the Valley whenever he had time, using the skills taught by Ren Shu.

Though he did not match Tan Jie in terms of ability, he was not that bad off, especially because of his physique and his universal qi influenced by the cultivation art he had gotten from the Valley Master.

Since his institute days till date, he has been coming to the valley every now and then, which was how he was able to build a friendship with one of the promising figures of the Valley.

“I didn’t mind it and the gu technique used was sophisticated. I had to consult Master Ren Shu to do the preliminary first aid before he left it to me. Handling her care would be a worthwhile experience..”

“But that’s not to mean you won’t have to fulfill your end of the bargain. You need to help me with my cases for a whole week nonstop..” she added as she sternly stared at Yang Qing.

Just like her master, Deputy Valley Master Ren Shu, she felt Yang Qing wasted his talents by becoming a judge, he should have been posted at the Valley. So when the opportunity presented itself to have him there, she was quick to exploit it, even if it was only for a week. 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺

“I will, besides, I feel like I will need it..” Yang Qing said with a sigh.

Ma Yuan stretched his hand to his daughter’s forehead with hesitation, as guilt showed in his eyes.

Though he knew he couldn’t have averted what had happened with his abilities, especially after being told the strength of the Ice Emerald Sect, he still felt he had failed them both, especially his daughter.

He felt like it was his own weakness that had robbed his daughter of her mother, and when it came to him, while he wanted to accompany his daughter to the very end, with a shattered dantian, he could never improve on his cultivation base, and when his lifespan as a core formation expert was up, he would be leaving her behind alone again, to mourn another parent.

“I’m sorry Ma Ling for having an unreliable father like me..” he softly muttered as he gently rubbed her head.

Tears filled his eyes, as he saw that face that closely resembled his wife’s.

His demeanor suddenly changed, like he had been electrocuted, when he saw the eyelids of Ma Ling start to tremble like she was about to open.

His heart lept to his mouth when he saw those eyes start to open.

Ma Ling hazily opened her eyes and took a few seconds for them to adjust to her surroundings.

A look of confusion befell her, which then turned to shock, then fear as she hurriedly coiled back like a cornered animal.

“Ma Ling, it’s me ..” Ma Yuan softly said, trying to hide the fear in his voice, from her reaction.
