Soon after, Su Jinyue felt a chill flowing into her eyes, and she couldn’t help feeling a little excited and expectant. She wondered what changes there would soon be to her eyes.
After some time, Su Jinyue felt the cooling sensation in her eyes disappear and asked, “Little Elf, why is there no more spiritual energy?”
“Master! The cultivation this time has ended. You can open your eyes now.”
Su Jinyue opened her eyes as instructed and quickly surveyed her surroundings. “It feels like nothing has changed.” Everything in her surroundings appeared the same as before as she glanced around.
“Master, you can pick up a book to try.”
Su Jinyue reached over to the cabinet at the side and grabbed the book that she had been reading yesterday, and asked, “What’s next?”
“Master, don’t open the book. Just focus all your attention on the book cover.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue stared at the book in her hand without blinking, looking forward to the results in her heart.
After a while, the book cover began to become transparent, and Su Jinyue could clearly see the contents of the first page in the book. She exclaimed, “This is incredible!” She could actually see through it.
However, her eyes quickly felt tired. She blinked her slightly dry eyes. When she looked at the book again, she could no longer see through it.
Su Jinyue’s lips turned up into a smile. Although it was only for a while, she was already very satisfied. In her previous life, Song Yiren was able to train until she could control her movements with her eyes. She would definitely be able to do the same in the future.
“Master has only just begun to train, so you can only see through the cover for this long. As Master continues your cultivation in the future, the time that you’re able to see through things will be longer.”
Su Jinyue nodded and said, “Little Elf, there is something that I don’t understand. Is it that anyone whose blood drips onto the jade bangle can be bound to a blood contract with you?” The Song Yiren in her past life must have been in a blood contract with Little Elf.
“The jade bangle was made by the ancestors of the Su Family, so only the blood of a member of the Su Family is able to be in a blood contract with Little Elf.”
“In that case, why can Song Yiren be in a contract with you? Is she also a member of the Su Family?” Su Jinyue asked in bewilderment
“That’s not it. She used Master’s blood to be bound to Little Elf in a contract. But even though she was in a contract with Little Elf using Master’s blood, Little Elf did not acknowledge her as a master.
It was simply because Song Yiren awakened Little Elf that Little Elf helped her to cultivate the sky eye in order to thank her. Later on, Song Yiren used the sky eye when she went to see Master, so Little Elf was able to sense Master’s existence. When Master was being executed, Little Elf sensed that Master was in danger, so Little Elf exhausted all my cultivation to bring Master back here.”
“No wonder I could come back here.” At this moment, Su Jinyue finally understood everything. After she had been kidnapped in her past life, someone had used a syringe to withdraw her blood. It turned out that the person who withdrew her blood was Song Yiren.
“Master! Little Elf will rest for a while now. Master can summon Little Elf if Master needs anything.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue replied. After her wound had healed, she would go up the mountain to find herbs that contained spiritual energy. Little Elf had exhausted all his cultivation for her sake, so she absolutely had to find more herbs with spiritual energy to help Little Elf recover.
The sound of footsteps approached and Song Yiren walked in with a bowl of medicine.
Su Jinyue glanced at Song Yiren briefly. Then, she picked up the book in front of her, turned to the page she stopped at the day before and continued to read from where she had left off.
Song Yiren put the medicine on the cabinet and looked at Su Jinyue. She apologised to her, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it.” She genuinely just wanted to know why Su Jinyue was being so cold towards her.
Seemingly not to have heard her, Su Jinyue didn’t even lift her head.
Resignedly letting out a sigh, Song Yiren spun on her heel and walked out. She couldn’t understand why she and Jinyue had come to this point, especially when they had clearly been so close.
Su Jinyue raised her eyes to look at Song Yiren’s back view as she left and sneered coldly. After experiencing Song Yiren’s ruthless means in her previous life, it was impossible for her to treat her like family, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Tiansheng strolled into the clinic carrying a basket on his back. When he saw Song Yiren, he smiled happily and said, “Yiren, come and take a look. Teacher got a big harvest today.”
Song Yiren nodded and walked forward to take the basket that Xu Tiansheng had taken off of his back. She then placed the basket on the table at the side.
Xu Tiansheng took out two purple herbs from his back basket, “Look at this Purple Fire Wisteria. This kind of medicinal herb is rarely seen. When I found them, there was even a snake guarding them.”
“Teacher, are you okay?” Song Yiren looked Xu Tiansheng up and down. Generally, the snakes that stood guard next to herbs were not ordinary snakes. She had encountered them before when she went up the mountains to gather herbs, but she always kept her distance.
“Why would anything happen to me? But that snake is really quite ferocious. If it weren’t for my experience, I might actually have been bitten by it!” Xu Tiansheng said. It wasn’t unusual to run into snakes when gathering herbs in the mountains, but no matter what kind of snake it was, their weakness was always seven inches away from their head.
Handing the purple fire wisteria to Song Yiren, Xu Tiansheng instructed her. “Keep the purple fire wisteria. Tomorrow morning, put them and the other herbs in a bamboo sieve to sun them.” No matter how precious the herbs were, they were ultimately to be used for curing sickness.
“Okay!” Song Yiren took the purple fire wisteria that Xu Tiansheng passed to her.
“Has Jinyue taken her medicine?” Xu Tiansheng asked.
“I’ve already brought it to her.” Song Yiren walked to the side and took the bamboo sieve for drying the herbs. She then poured out the herbs onto the sieve and spread them out.
Xu Tiansheng nodded before walking towards the room, where Su Jinyue was.
Song Yiren was a little nervous and wanted to follow him. She took a step forward, but then halted in her tracks.
Teacher would definitely ask questions after he saw the injury on Jinyue’s elbow. If Teacher knew she was the one who injured Jinyue, he would definitely punish her by making her copy medical books. Even if she followed him in, she had no way to stop Jinyue from tattling on her.
When Xu Tiansheng entered the room, he instantly noticed Jinyue’s elbow injury at a glance, “What happened to your arm?”
“I accidentally fell. It’s just a small injury. It’s fine already.” Su Jinyue put down the book in her hand and looked at Xu Tiansheng as she spoke
“Your leg hasn’t even healed yet. Why are you so careless?” Xu Tiansheng said with a straight face. He had always regarded her as a daughter, so how could he not be angry and heartbroken, when he saw her getting hurt on top of her existing injury.
“I’m sorry! I won’t do it again next time,” Su Jinyue said like a child.
“Why did you get out of bed? Don’t you know that your injury hasn’t healed yet?” Xu Tiansheng asked. Jinyue probably wouldn’t have gotten out of bed for no rhyme or reason. She had always been a child who knew when to stop, so there had to be a reason behind it.
“Big Sister Liu brought her second child here to see a doctor this morning. Second baby was running a severe fever and needed an injection. I was worried that Yiren would forget to take a skin test, so I went out to remind her. I didn’t expect to fall just from doing that. Fortunately, it’s just a minor injury.” Jinyue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Much as she tremendously hated Song Yiren, she did not want Teacher to know that they were at odds. In Teacher’s heart, she and Song Yiren were the people closest to him. He would be the most upset if he knew that they had fallen out.
Xu Tiansheng resignedly shook his head and said, “Even so, you need to take your condition into account. Don’t be so reckless in the future, do you understand?”
Su Jinyue hurriedly nodded her head. She smiled charmingly and promised, “Don’t worry, Teacher! I definitely won’t do it again next time. I don’t want to become unable to walk again, just from falling.”
“You!” Xu Tiansheng dotingly shook his head and smiled.
