1834 You two will have the same medical skills(Chapter preview)

"This is normal. You've always felt cold before. The needles will open up the vital channels in your body and control the cold pressure in your body. The effect will be much better in comparison to you sitting in the hot spring all the time." Sima You Yue said.

"I see, I never knew acupuncture could have such effects." The Prince of Great Yu sighed.

"It's not that easy." Sima You Yue said, "There is a certain way to choose the acupuncture points, the speed and placement of the needles is also very important. Any slight change and the effect might have a myriad of changes!"

"It's so complicated!" Yu Yan said, "No wonder your medical skills are so much better than others."

"I'm sure the people that the Prince has found are very capable people. I just happen to know these things." Sima You Yue said.

"But the rumours are that you are a good-for-nothing and you are someone who can't even cultivate. I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Yu Yan pointed out.

"You've said it, it's just a rumour. For someone who has been weak since he was a child, aren't you also healthy and well? Therefore, rumours aren't to be believed lightly, aren't they?" Sima You Yue replied to him.

"Hehe, I only did that to protect myself." Yu Yan said helplessly, "If I don't need to use it I wouldn't do so, I don't want to treat my body this way either."

Sima You Yue gave him a sympathetic look. How cruel it was to have been oppressed for so many years!

After a while, Sima You Yue started taking the needles out. The process was much quicker than her placing the needles. After a few swipes, all the needles were collected.

"All done." She put all the silver needles back into the box then put the box away and climbed out of the hot spring.

"Imperial Father, how are you feeling?" Yu Yan asked.

"Very good, I've not felt this good in years."

Feeling well and much more comfortable, the Prince of Great Yu got out of the hot spring and put on his clothes. Sima You Yue had already dried her clothes at this point in time.

"Murong, had I known your daughter was so capable I would have asked you to bring her sooner!" The Prince of Great Yu looked at him gratefully, "I would have been able to suffer less too."

"This girl hides her abilities well, I didn't even know she knew all this. Also, when Prince was scouring the city for eminent physicians before, I thought that they must be better than her. If the Emperor's Physician wasn't able to help you the day before yesterday, I wouldn't have even thought of her." Murong Hui said.

"Regardless, I still want to thank the both of you!" The Prince of Great Yu said, "Murong Xi, is there anything you want?"

Sima You Yue thought for a while, then replied: "What I want I am sure that Prince will be reluctant to give it to me, so forget it."

"Oh? What is it that you want? Do tell me what it is that I have but will be reluctant to give you?" The Prince of Great Yu waved his sleeves and said dominantly.

"I want the Realm of Emptiness, are you willing to give it to me Prince?" Sima You Yue tilted her head and looked at him.

When the Prince of Great Yu heard this, he said: "You're making things difficult for me."

"See, I knew that Prince can't bear to give it to me." Sima You Yue said.

"It's not that I can't bear to give it to you, but the Realm doesn't belong to me." The Prince of Great Yu said, "The Realm of Emptiness is not a burial object but a spatial fold. Can you choose something else?"

"I haven't thought of anything else that I want at the moment." Sima You Yue wasn't disappointed, " If Prince wants to reward me then wait till I have completely healed your injury before you reward me!"

"Alright, then use this time to think about what you want! Otherwise, you will have to go to the warehouse and find something for yourself." The Prince of Great Yu laughed.

"Prince, your injury needs acupuncture treatment every five days. Our competition just happens to be a round every five days, so I will come here after the competition ends to give you the acupuncture treatment." Sima You Yue said.

"Alright, it just so happens that I come to the hot springs every five days too. We shall meet here." The Prince of Great Yu said.

"If there is nothing else, we shall take our leave first, Prince." Murong Hui said, "If we are away for too long, I'm afraid that it will attract people's attention.

"I have something to tell you, let Xi'er go back first." The Prince of Great Yu said.

"Father, I will go back first." Sima You Yue said.

"There are many forks in the tunnel, do you remember the way back?" Murong Hui asked with a little worry.

"I can roughly remember." On the way here, Sima You Yue noticed that there were many forks in the tunnel which probably led to other places.

"Imperial Father, why don't I send her back? Then Duke Murong can be rest assured." Yu Yan said.

"That's a good idea." Murong Hui said, "Thank you for your trouble, Second Prince."

Having seen that it had been decided, Sima You Yue left with Yu Yan.

Yu Yan took her back to the entrance to the tunnel where they had come from. After they had left the hot springs, he appeared sickly again. It seemed that he had to deceive everyone.

"Second Prince." The guard opened the entrance and Yu Yan went down first.

Sima You Yue followed him down while Yu Yan waited. After she had come down, they began walking towards the inn and the two of them chatted along the way.

"Murong Xi, are you really Murong Xi?" Yu Yan asked suddenly.

"What does Second Prince mean?" Sima You Yue asked.

"This silver needle technique has never been seen in the Ghost Realm before." Yu Yan said.

"The world is so big, it is impossible for us to know everything."

"Really? But I happen to know something. I heard that the Dark Princess' daughter in the Human Realm is superb with the silver needle technique. It should be the same as yours shouldn't it?" Yu Yan said quietly.

"Really? I didn't know that." Sima You Yue refused to admit it.

Yu Yan stared at her for a while, but didn't continue to question her. Instead, he nodded faintly and said: "I thought you knew something!"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't know anything." Sima You Yue still refused to admit it.

"If you ever meet her in the future, you will be able to talk about this." Yu Yan said.

"That's a good idea, thank you for your suggestion."

"You're welcome!"

"Second Prince, based on the medical ethics of a doctor, I have to remind you not to continue taking the medicated stone powder anymore. Otherwise, you'd end up really crippled." Sima You Yue said.

"Thank you for your reminder, I understand. If I really do become crippled, I will ask you to heal me." Yu Yan smiled.

"My fees are very expensive for someone who is seeking death." Sima You Yue said.

"I am not seeking death, you should know that."

"I don't know that. In my eyes, this action is seeking death." Sima You Yue said.

"Then I can only start preparing for the expensive medical fees." Yu Yan said solemnly.

"Alright! Then I will reserve a place for you." Sima You Yue said.

"Haha." Yu Yan smiled heartily, "You have to be careful of my brothers."

"I think they are more harmless than you." Sima You Yue said, "I have arrived. Thank you Second Prince for escorting me back. Goodbye."

Having spoken, she went up the stairs and opened the door and went out.

Yu Yan watched her disappear from the exit but didn't leave in a hurry. He whispered a name softly.

"Sima You Yue…"
