A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 791 - 790: She Knows Ancient Martial Arts? About That Ancient Book…
Chapter 791: Chapter 790: She Knows Ancient Martial Arts? About That Ancient Book…
Mu Chengxi looked down his eyes and glanced at Wen Xin, knowing that Wen Xin was talking about serious matters, so he did not speak further but followed Wen Xin’s instructions and sat down on the chair beside him.
After Mu Chengxi sat down, Wen Xin took out a brown paper bag from her backpack and extracted an aged ancient book from it.
Upon seeing the ancient book, Qian Cai’s pupils shrank instantly, and he quickly walked up to Wen Xin, carefully taking the ancient book from her hands.
“This book… this book, you say it belonged to your master? Are you sure your master is Huo Zhiling? Doesn’t he have any other names?”
Clutching the book in his hands, Qian Cai looked at Wen Xin excitedly, eager to get an answer from her.
“I am not sure if he had other names; I met him when he was only six years old. He had treated a friend of mine, and then I asked him to take me as his disciple to teach me the medical arts…”
Wen Xin looked at Qian Cai very seriously and answered his question, as she, too, wanted to know the true identity of her master.
As Qian Cai flipped through the ancient book, his heart was very excited, wanting to confirm whether Wen Xin’s master was indeed the person he thought he might be.
“He… he could cure your illness; why wouldn’t he treat you?” Qian Cai spoke with hope to Wen Xin, seeking to confirm his guess.
“She was not unwilling to treat me, but her body wouldn’t allow it; at the time of my illness, she was already over ninety years old. All she could do was guide me… Sadly, I had not yet achieved the results she hoped to see when she passed away in her sleep…”
“Later, my senior brother helped to take care of my body. He said he did his best despite his limited ability.”
“Actually, I’m quite well now, except that my body cannot stand the cold; there’s not much of an impact otherwise…”
As Wen Xin spoke, she unconsciously looked towards Mu Chengxi, not wanting to say too much and affect his emotions.
“How can there be no impact? With your cold constitution, every time you menstruate it almost costs you half your life, and… it won’t be easy for you to conceive in the future. How can you say there is no impact?”
Qian Cai looked at Wen Xin with a worried face; previously, he had only regarded Wen Xin as the little princess of Independent State, but ever since she had shown him the book, he had begun to see Wen Xin as one of his own…
Especially when Wen Xin spoke about her master, he always felt that they should have a deeper connection.
So Wen Xin’s situation was not a trivial matter, and even if it meant exhausting all his medical skills, he was determined to heal Wen Xin’s body.
“Gui, do you and the little princess have other matters? If there’s nothing else, I would like to take the little princess to my yard; I want to try treating her. It’s better to address this condition as soon as possible!”
Qian Cai turned around to look at Qian Gui, his emotions somewhat agitated, as he had more questions he wanted to ask Wen Xin.
Qian Gui looked at Qian Cai, hesitated for a moment, then considered that the little princess’s health seemed more important and thus nodded, looking towards Wen Xin.
“Little princess, since Qian Cai wishes to treat you, shouldn’t you stay here for a few days? After all, commuting here isn’t very convenient.”
Wen Xin looked at Qian Gui, then slowly withdrew her gaze and looked toward Mu Chengxi.
As Mu Chengxi met Wen Xin’s bright black eyes, he understood what Wen Xin wanted to say and nodded, “Let’s stay here for today. I’ll have Mu Bei go out to arrange a place for the elderly gentleman to stay. I still hope the elderly gentleman will come back to Beijing with us…”
Mu Chengxi looked very sincerely at Qian Cai, who almost without thinking nodded in agreement.
“Since the little princess has invited me to Beijing, I will not refuse. I am willing to leave with the princess. As for living arrangements… any place that is livable will do. My children are not at home, it’s just my wife and me. We prefer a quiet place, so any arrangement you make will be fine.”
The easygoing nature of Qian Cai shocked everyone, including Qian Gui, who couldn’t believe that Qian Cai had accepted.
“Now that it’s decided, I and Mu Bei will handle the arrangements. I have a suitable villa that I think Uncle Cai will like.”
Standing nearby, Qian Meng instantly proved to be very observant. He happened to have an available villa in the suburbs of Beijing, not too far from Jingda University where Wen Xin was. He thought this location would be the most appropriate for Qian Cai.
Wen Xin, seeing the enthusiasm in Qian Meng’s demeanor, did not refuse and simply nodded. Then Qian Meng went straight out to look for Mu Bei.
Qian Cai cautiously put the ancient book into a paper bag, and then returned to his courtyard with Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
As soon as she entered Qian Cai’s courtyard, Wen Xin smelled a very familiar aroma of herbs. In that moment, she felt like she was transported back to six years ago, when her master was still alive and so was her senior brother…
“Princess, little princess!”
Qian Cai, seeing Wen Xin distracted, slightly furrowed his brow and patiently called her a few times by her ear.
“Ah? What is it?”
After coming to her senses, Wen Xin looked puzzled and turned her head towards Qian Cai. She hadn’t heard what he had just said to her.
“I didn’t say anything, just saw you distracted. I was wondering what you were thinking about. You’ve been zoned out since you walked into the courtyard. Is there something on your mind?”
“Nothing really, it’s just the familiar scent. Your Five-Element Medicine is missing one herb. The true Five-Element Medicine is actually a combination of six herbs, but later generations misunderstood it to be made of five.”
As Wen Xin smelled the familiar herbal fragrance, she remembered the story her master had told her about the Five-Element Medicine…
“How could that be… The prescription my master gave me had only five herbs, how could there be a sixth?” Qian Cai didn’t believe Wen Xin’s words. He had been preparing the Five-Element Medicine for decades; how could there be a mistake?
The person who told her this must have been seeking attention, he thought.
In response to Qian Cai’s doubts, Wen Xin simply smiled lightly and didn’t explain. She touched her backpack and pulled out a small red medicine bottle from the pocket, placing it in front of Qian Cai.
“Here are five pills of Five-Element Medicine. You could let the person who needs medicine try my Five-Element Medicine. If there is no difference between mine and yours, then I am mistaken. If mine works better, I will tell you what is missing.”
Wen Xin’s face wore a gentle smile. It was unclear if it was because there was hope for her illness or the familiar scent of the herbs that brought her joy, but either way, she was in a good mood.
Qian Cai took the small medicine bottle from Wen Xin’s hands, opened the cap, and smelled it; his eyes instantly lit up.
“Yes, that’s right, this is the scent. It’s exactly the same as what I smelled years ago from my master…”
