Chapter 224: The Jealous Heir (1/2)

Translator: Madesmoiselle V.

Taking off one of her hairpins, Murong Xue reached for the silver needles set within before inserting them into the man’s acupoints and turning them gently.

After a while, the man stopped frothing at the mouth, his eyes coming back to normal, and his body stopped cramping. “Thank you very much, Miss!” He stared at Murong Xue with his bright eyes after regaining his eyesight, and his voice was weak but filled with sincerity.

“You are welcome. Since you are suffering from a serious disease, I will provide a prescription. You will recover gradually if you take one dose per day...” Murong Xue chuckled.

An almost imperceptible strange light skimmed across the man’s dark eyes. “You can cure epilepsy?” He had visited various eminent doctors, but all his efforts were in vain...

“To some degree!” Murong Xue smiled. Epilepsy, incurable in ancient times, was treatable in modern society. When learning poisoning, she also gained some insight into the treatment of some common and special diseases, including epilepsy.

“However, considering the serious wound on your head, it will take such a long time for you to completely recover.”

The man squinted at Murong Xue. “How did you know my head used to be badly injured?”

Murong Xue smiled. “Epilepsy can be divided into two kinds, the congenital kind and the kind induced by the wound on head. Since you’re strong, and your heartbeat is forceful enough, your epilepsy must have been caused by the wound.”

“What a smart girl.” The man, staring at Murong Xue, nodded with admiration. “Since I must leave now for some important affairs, I will visit you in acknowledgement of your assistance and get the prescription some other day. Take care!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man hurried forward before disappearing in the alley nearby in a moment...

“I haven’t told him the address yet. Does he know where to find me?” Murong Xue frowned at his receding figure.

“He should have known it already. Even if he hasn’t, it will be easy for him to figure out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left without hesitation...” Ouyang Shaochen stared at the alley where the man disappeared, a meaningful gleam skimming across his eyes...

“There are thick calluses on his right hand, his eyes were filled with august aura typical for a veteran fighting on the battlefield. However, the aura has been diluted, which might be a proof of his leaving the army years ago. Given his epilepsy and the top-level Qing kung...It’s highly possible that he, like General Lu and Qi, used to be a soldier leaving the army for his serious injury...” Murong Xue murmured.

Ouyang Shaochen nodded lightly, his eyes as dark as a fathomless lake. “Maybe...”

“Ouyang Shaochen, Murong Xue, I have been searching for you for such a long time.” Mu Liufeng complained while coming over in vigorous strides, his ebony robe fluttering in the wind, well matching his inborn elegance and evil charm!

Catching a glimpse of Murong Xue’s delicate cherry lips, he frowned a little. “Murong Xue, what happened to your swelling lips?”

Murong Xue stroked her slightly swollen lips before answering in anger, her eyes gleaming unnaturally, “It’s a mosquito bite!”

“Are there mosquitoes in such a windy place?” Mu Liufeng, looking around at the streets extending in all directions, didn’t believe her words at all.

“There were mosquitoes before the wind started blowing.” Murong Xue prevaricated. In case he would continue the topic, she added in a hurry, “What do you want us for?”
