Chapter 144 - My Small Heart is About to be Unable to Take It (1/2)

“I secretly learned it every time you performed acupuncture,” said Ling Chuxi calmly.

The second elder stayed quiet. Secretly learning and she was still better than him? Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t believe it! However, he did not say such words out loud. The Ling Chuxi before him was the Ling Chuxi whom he cared about, and she was the Chuxi who cared about him. That was enough!

“Alright. The second elder’s injury has been temporarily suppressed. His spleen was wounded, so there should be some bleeding. Now, this has stopped. I’ll write to Master Lan and get him to send some herbs over.” Ling Chuxi stood up and the corner of her lips curved upward. “This time, Master Lan has to lose out big time. He has to sponsor herbs and wade in murky waters.”

“Master Lan?” asked the first elder.

His hand was still trembling. It took much effort before he finally stopped the trembling and carefully put away the porcelain bottle. Now that he heard Ling Chuxi saying this, he was shocked once again.

“Could it be the White Stone City’s Lan family that has stood upright for hundreds of years without falling? The Lan family that produced the peerless genius?”

“That peerless genius was already defeated by Chuxi,” chimed in Ling Yichen, expressionlessly adding on another shock.

“What?!”

The first elder’s jaw clearly let out a ‘crack’ as he looked at a calm Ling Chuxi with both his eyes and mouth wide open.

“The Qin family and the Luo family. We need to seek them out to come to a conclusion,” said Ling Chuxi, her eyes turning cold. “Who secretly attacked the second elder?”

“Second Brother, tell me, who do you think attacked you that night?” asked the first elder as he snapped his jaw back into place with another ‘crack’.

Looking at the second elder, he realized in astonishment that his face seemed to look a little better.
