From whom did you hear that?

Xia Qingyue asked coldly, her mind shocked. At the same level of strength, the life expectancy of the disciples of the Eternal Cloud Palace was shorter than others by a large amount. This is a cruel truth. Even within his Palace, this was a secret that was always suppressed by the leadership of the Eternal Cloud Palace.

The reason why Xia Qingyue knew about it was because her master had unknowingly mentioned it after one of her breakthroughs. Moreover, he told her that this was his greatest weakness and firmly ordered not to tell anyone, including his fellow disciples. Yet here, Xiao Che directly said it out loud.

“If I were the ruler of the Eternal Cloud Palace, I would use all my strength to hide this 'defect' and prevent outsiders from knowing it. Do you think I've probably heard this from anyone? Xiao Che said, curling his lips: “I actually came to this conclusion after measuring your pulse, that's all. From your reaction, it seems like everything I said was true.”

I don't believe you!" Xia Qingyue firmly shook her head. To be able to deduce the greatest secret of the Eternal Cloud Palace just from an estimate? That's ridiculous. If it were that easy, then the countless spirit healers in the Blue Wind Empire, then it would be immediately that the secret would be revealed for some number of years ago.

However, everything that Xiao Che had just said went straight to the core of the matter, without any flaws at all. There was no way Xia Qingyue was not confused.

"I know you won't believe me." Xiao Che took the medicine pot and the parcel from the ground and entered the house. "Follow me."

Xia Qingyue's gaze swept over the items she had in her hands. After a slight hesitation, he followed her into the room and closed the door behind her.

After putting down the medicinal package, Xiao Che ordered Xia Qingyue: "Sit down."

"What do you want to do?" Xia Qingyue looked at him suspiciously.

"Obviously, I want to give you treatment."

"No need." Xia Qingyue immediately shook her head.

“Need or not, it is better if you wait until after that to decide.

Xiao Che opened the package and took out a silver box. He sighed, a look of frustration and disappointment appearing on his face: “I know you basically do not believe anything I say. But at the very least, I don't have the ability, or any reason, to hurt you. The reason for taking these items from the healer's house early in the morning was just because I wanted to give you treatment, that's all. If it works, then it's good, otherwise you still won't lose anything. Since you don't want to believe it, and don't want to try it, then forget it. Pretend it's an unrequited affection.”

Xiao Che's words startled Xia Qingyue and a hint of guilt grew in her heart.It was true that what she said before, and what she said now was to help take care of her. He did not ask for anything from her or put forward any requirements. He also, as he had said himself, had no reason or ability to harm him.

Xia Qingyue sighed in her heart and then sat down next to Xiao Che: "How are you going to treat me?"

Her attitude like a child being persecuted made Xia Qingyue unable to decide whether she should laugh or cry and her voice was relaxed: "I want to see how you will treat me."

"En, now more obedient." As Xiao Che turned his face away, his expression smiled. This caused Xia Qingyue to stare confusedly at him ... This person's mood change was really too fast!

“Save your hand.”

Xiao Che sat in front of Xia Qingyue. Xia Qingyue also stretched out her two hands, placing them horizontally on the table. His red sleeves were pushed to the elbows, revealing a pair of creamy white sleeves.

Xiao Che opened the silver box. Surprisingly, inside was composed of several tens of thin silver needle threads.

“Jarum silver... Don't tell me you will use acupuncture?” Xia Qingyue's brows lifted.

Eh? do you really know acupuncture? Xiao Che gave her a somewhat surprised look. Back when he was in the Blue Cloud continent, not even ten people could do acupuncture, even if he and his medical teacher were included. However, in the Sky Continent, this seems to be one of the more popular medical treatments. It was even possible to find a set of acupuncture tools in the house of the Xiao Clan healer.

"Of course you know. I also know that to master acupuncture techniques takes a lot of time. It takes decades to have a little success. I've never heard that you learn medical techniques, let alone acupuncture. Also, your room has no smell or markings of traditional medicine. What exactly are you going to do?” Xia Qingyue's eyes had all this time been wary and suspicious.

Xiao Che took out a silver needle, gripping the base with two fingers... The moment Xiao Che picked up the silver needle, Xia Qingyue's gaze became slightly sidetracked. It was because in Xiao Che's hands, the silver needle had an indescribable feeling of harmony, as if it was growing naturally from Xiao Che's hands. This feeling was very subtle and indescribable, yet clear and truly existing.

Xiao Che opened the small bottle and carefully dipped the silver needle into it: “Do I know how to do acupuncture or not, you will know it soon. Of course, if you feel something is wrong, or feel I'm playing around, you can stop me whenever you want.

"What's in that bottle?" Xia Qingyue's gaze was fixed on the small bottle.

"Ordinary juice from red sunflowers." Xiao Che replied without thinking, his gaze fixed on Xia Qingyue's snowy arm. The left hand that held the silver needle flickered slightly.

Xiao Che's movements were extremely fast, even Xia Qingyue was unable to react due to her being so quick. The moment Xiao Che's left hand was pulled, the silver needles between his fingers were no longer visible. Instead, on his right wrist, a silver needle was thrust vertically .

No pain, can be better described as no feeling at all. If not for the fact that he was staring blankly at this silver needle, he would not have known that there was a silver needle piercing his wrist. Xia Qingyue was moved... So quickly? No, it's fast! But rather skilled! A kind of skill that had reached an astonishing level, to the point where it could be said to be at its peak!
