Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 10. Acquittal
After Xi Jian was back to health, Fang Yin went to rest because it was already night. As usual, Fang Yin locked the door of her room from the inside and prepared to meditate to do her cultivation. Not to forget he fed first to the horses that were beside his room so as not to be noisy when he saw the strange thing in his cultivation.
While cultivating there will be energy coils surrounding Fang Yin's body that sometimes cause wave vibrations or just flashes of light.
Horses are animals that have a high sensitivity to changes around them. However, Fang Yin managed to keep her quiet by making an approach and bribing her with the food she mixed with the tranquilizing pill. The pills he gave would not harm him and instead, were able to keep the horses awake.
Mr. Xi Liang came home late at night. All the maids had slept as he came from looking for medicine for Xi Jian. He left without a bodyguard so he had to take his horse to the cage alone.
As a cultivator he was well versed with the energy waves he felt while in that stables.
'There is someone who is cultivating here? Who her? I don't remember all the servants in my own house. I'll ask Ning Xia.' Master Xi Liang chose to leave and leave Fang Yin's room. He did not want to disturb the concentration of the person who was meditating and chose to immediately give the medicine to his son.
Fang Yin was still in his subconscious to absorb the natural energy entering his body and store it within his growing and expanding energy pool.
Ning Xia and Xi Jian were chatting while eating fruits when Master Xi Liang came to Xi Jian's room.
"Dad!" xi Jian immediately stood up to greet his father.
Master Xi Liang felt surprised to see Xi Jian's state of being fully recovered and was very different from the state he was in when he left the villa earlier this afternoon.
"Xi Jian, you're finally cured dear. Father is very happy," said Mr. Xi Liang with teary eyes.
Mr. Xi Liang tightly hugged his son's body and rewarded him with countless kisses.
"This is all thanks to Xiao Yin." Ning Xia who had been standing in front of Master Xi Liang was now speaking.
"Xiao Yin's? Who is Xiao Yin?" Master Xi Liang looked to be frowning.
"Sit down! I'll tell you everything." Ning Xia walked to the table where she placed the fruits and drinks she had eaten with Xi Jian before.
Mr. Xi Liang followed his wife's will in order to hear a story that made him very curious.
Instead of immediately telling a story, Ning Xia instead poured a warm drink for Master Xi Liang.
Actually Mr. Xi Liang was impatient again, but he put up with it and went back to his wife by drinking the drink he made.
"Xi Jian, let father drink first. Come here!" Ning Xia stretched out both his hands and asked Xi Jian to sleep on his lap.
Ning Xia rubbed Xi Jian's head which looked already sleepy.
"Ning Xia, tell me what happened after my departure. Who was Xiao Yin and how could he be here?" Master Xi Liang could no longer hold back from his curiosity.
"Xiao Yin is the slave you bought some time ago from Young Master Yu. He is the one who is treating our child," Ning Xia explained.
Master Xi Liang was again taken aback by Ning Xia's remark.
"Ning Xia, you don't joke. He was still a child, where it might be possible to treat Xi Jian. The greatest healer in this area alone cannot heal our son. How could ...."
"It's up to you not to believe. But this is the truth." Ning Xia cut off Master Xi Liang's words.
Ning Xia lifted up the body of Xi Jian who had fallen asleep then laid it on the bed.
The night was already very late, Ning Xia left Xi Jian's room then went to her room to rest. Master Xi followed Ning Xia away like a little boy following his mother. He was still curious as to what Ning Xia had said.
In their room, Ning Xia told in detail what Fang Yin had done to save Xi Jian. Starting from the medicinal pills he gave, massage and acupuncture techniques he did. Master Xi was half in disbelief at what Ning Xia was telling her.
"It's very strange. A child of Xiao Yin's age could do a job that even an adult would not necessarily be able to." Mr. Xi sat down and thought about his wife's story.
There was one more thing that troubled his mind which was the servant who slept near the stables. Just now she wanted to ask Ning Xia, but Ning Xia was already sound asleep. Mr. Xi finally chose to go to bed because he was so tired.
As usual, Fang Yin woke up early to do her job. After yesterday's incident, the attitude of the other servants who usually always oppress him now began to change. They reduced the work done by Fang Yin and took their respective parts.
They asked Fang Yin to check their health at the time of the afternoon break. Fang Yin never grudged at them and did as they pleased. There was no severe illness suffered by the maids, Fang Yin only gave them different herbal recipes according to their physical condition.
Ning Xia was always looking around for Fang Yin's whereabouts, but Fang Yin always tried to dodge and do work that was not directly related to her master.
Sure enough, after a few days of dodging, Fang Yin finally got a special summon from Madam Ning Xia.
Fang Yin palpitated imagining what would happen after this.
'May I not be subjected to torture for my defiance. I deliberately avoided getting too close to you, Madam. I'm sorry!' Fang Yin sat like a sickly person waiting for the verdict in a still quiet room. There's nobody there yet.
"Ehem!" Master Xi cleared his throat as he emerged from the direction behind Fang Yin followed by Ning Xia behind him.
Fang Yin's eyes widened when he felt he had forgotten something. He forgot to take a pill that was able to hide his body's energy. This made Fang Yin even more palpitating, he thought that only Madam Ning wanted to meet him.
Fang Yin's body was getting sweaty from feeling fear, moreover Master Xi Liang continued to look at him with an incomprehensible gaze.
The slaughter carried out by the cultivators who had made Fang Yin's life disappear still imprinted in his memories.
Fang Yin was afraid that it would happen again.
"Do you know why I called you here?" ask Madam Ning.
Her soft voice felt so hard in Fang Yin's ears as she was nervous.
"Again, Madam. I don't know," Fang Yin replied in fear.
"I tried to find you around while you were working, but never found you. Don't you intentionally hide, yeah!" Ning Xia vented his frustration.
"Again, Madam. I don't dare." Fang Yin grimaced considering he had indeed deliberately avoided Ning Xia.
"Already!" Master Xi did not want his wife to speak anymore because of seeing the frightened Fang Yin.
"Xiao Yin's. We invited you here to say thank you. Thanks to your help Xi Jian's life was saved." Master Xi spoke as he put his hands together behind his back.
Master Xi walked up to Fang Yin who was sitting down.
"I didn't do anything, sir. It's just a coincidence." Fang Yin did not dare to look at Master Xi Liang.
Master Xi Liang took out the energy from his palm then pointed it at Fang Yin.
Fang Yin reflexively jumped to dodge. After realizing he had eaten the bait thrown by Master Xi Liang, Fang Yin grew even more frightened. Inwardly he cursed himself who could not help but hide his abilities even though it would injure him.
"Good! Apparently you are also a talented cultivator as well." Master Xi sensed the radiant energy from Fang Yin's body even though he didn't yet know the level he had.
"Force, Sir. I don't intend to hide my identity. I'm really sorry. I am neither a spy nor an enemy sent to infiltrate here." Fang Yin attempted to explain something that might make Mr. Xi Liang misunderstand him.
"I knew. Before you say it I've been investigating your background. Physician Mao also told me that you are very talented in medicine."
'Thank God! I think Master Xi knows that I am Emperor Gu's daughter.' Fang Yin felt relieved.
Apparently, Master Xi and Ning Xia called him for a good thing. They decided to free Fang Yin from his status as a slave. Not only that, Master Xi also raised her to be his adopted daughter and pinned the Xi clan in front of her name to Xi Xiao Yin.
Fang Yin felt grateful that he was finally freed from slavery and his bad thoughts did not occur.
Madam Ning gave a new room to Fang Yin who was located next to Xi Jian's room.
Instead of feeling happy, Fang Yin instead looked even more moody with his new status. She was again treated as a princess who had no freedom. Her boredom grew even more so when Madam Ning invited the teacher who taught her manners to her and Xi Jian.
Mr. Xi realized the displeasure of his adopted daughter. As a cultivator he perfectly understood what Xi Xiao Yin wanted. The girl must have wanted an education capable of making her stronger instead of becoming a princess ready to marry off to the nobles.
Before it was too late, he had to talk about this to his wife immediately. Master Xi wanted Xi Xiao Yin to obtain an education that matched the talent he had. It doesn't matter if she is a woman.
