Chapter 43 (1/2)

Fang Lin explained charismatically while Han Yinyue listened with rapt attention. She had a look of deep ponderation on her face.

Meng Wuyou widened his eyes and looked at Fang Lin in a rather astonished manner from the side. Complicated feelings arose in his heart. While he was still speculating for a solution, Fang Lin was already done explaining everything in detail. How was he going to continue surviving in the sect as an elder?

However, Meng Wuyou did not mind that much anyway. On the contrary, he felt delighted. The more impressive Fang Lin’s performance was, it signified that his foresight in recognizing talent from the beginning was accurate.

When Fang Lin was done speaking, Han Yinyue nodded softly and grasped the alchemy prescription of the Snow Frost Pill in her hand tighter.

“After listening to your advice, I’ve learned a lot today,” said Han Yinyue to Fang Lin, her tone tainted with appreciation.

“This is only my personal opinion. Perhaps there are other solutions too,” Fang Lin replied with a smile.

Han Yinyue nodded. She did not stay any longer and turned around to leave. Meng Wuyou heaved a long sigh after her departure.

“Why are you sighing, Elder?” asked Fang Lin.

Meng Wuyou looked at Fang Lin and said while shaking his head, “Do you know that the sect master has two daughters? Miss Han is the elder and there’s another younger daughter named Han Xiaoxing. My guess is that Miss Han asked you the question because the person poisoned by the Fire Toxin is her younger sister, Han Xiaoxing.”

Meng Wuyou’s words took Fang Lin by surprise. So, it turned out that Han Yinyue was looking for an alchemy prescription on behalf of her sister.

“Since the sect master’s daughter has been poisoned with Fire Toxin, the sect master should be able to handle the problem easily. Why is Miss Han looking for an alchemy prescription to treat her sister instead?”

Meng Wuyou shook his head and said, “Between the sect master’s two daughters, Miss Yinyue was born with crippled meridians, so she’s incapable of cultivation. Albeit being capable of cultivation, the young Miss Xiaoxing was born blind. She is headstrong and is frequently seen leaving the Purple Glow Sect to explore and cultivate outside without permission. She returns with a body full of injuries and doesn’t dare tell the sect master. She normally begs Miss Yinyue to treat her injuries.”

Fang Lin was immediately rendered speechless. The story of the two daughters of the Purple Glow Sect’s master was rather tragic. It was no wonder he could tell from Han Yinyue’s face earlier that despite her fair complexion, she had the vague pallor of ailment penetrating through her skin. So, it turned out that she had crippled meridians inherently that made her incapable of cultivating.

A person with inherently crippled meridians was born with missing or damaged meridians. They were incapable of producing inner strength. In fact, their physical quality was far worse than an ordinary person’s.

Whatever happened to the elder daughter was already tragic enough, but it was worse for the younger daughter. Even though she was capable of cultivating, she had been born blind. Fang Lin could imagine why Han Xiaoxing was such a headstrong girl. She must have hated the injustice of her destiny.

“Sigh. Even though Miss Han is incapable of cultivation, she is very intelligent. She is gifted with an extraordinarily retentive memory and her understanding of martial arts and alchemy far exceeds that of ordinary people. Just by looking at her alchemy attainments, it is enough to place her in the ranks of true lineage disciples. She just doesn’t have inner strength and her physical weakness is that she’s rendered utterly incapable of refining elixirs,” said Meng Wuyou regretfully.

“So, how about the young Miss Han?” said Fang Lin out of curiosity.

Meng Wuyou said, “Although she’s blind, she’s gifted with unparalleled martial arts attainments. She is capable of determining the direction through the sound of the wind. She has already stepped into the primordial earth realm.”

Fang Lin was rendered speechless. The two ladies of the Han clan were remarkable just as he expected. Even though they were born with disabilities, they were still gifted with extraordinary talents. Perhaps, they would be phoenixes that soared high into the sky without these disabilities.

“Sigh, what sin has our sect master committed such that he’s been given two such tragic daughters,” he could not help lamenting.

Upon hearing that, Meng Wuyou delivered a slap to the back of Fang Lin’s head. He spoke in an unpleasant tone, “How dare you speak nonsense about our sect master? You have no concept of respect for your superior at all. It’s fine that I’m the one who heard what you said, but you’ll be in deep trouble if someone else heard that, boy.”

Fang Lin sniggered because he knew very well that Old Man Meng treated him kindly. Still, he did not continue anymore.

“Oh right, I still haven’t asked what are you doing here. You should be in the alchemy lecture hall now, shouldn’t you?” asked Meng Wuyou with a frown.
