Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 38: Jing Xiao’s Dilemma

After the departure of Jing Xiao, the crowd inside the Azure Pavilion became noisy as they took their leave.

They all wanted to share what happened today, especially how Ye Chen grabbed the hand of Jing Xiao and her blushing reaction.

Then there was also her physical condition, which was a bit serious.

The pursuers, after all, cared about her health, and many of them had ideas of buying herbs to gift her, so they hurriedly took their leave.

Only people who wanted to stay in Azure Pavilion stayed.

"Let’s go," Zhen Yunqi said and beckoned the fatty Zi Han.

Hearing her, he didn’t hesitate and led everyone to their rooms.

The fifty disciples and twenty elders were all escorted to their rooms on the ninth floor.

As for Zhen Yunqi, Ye Chen, Li Mei, and Lan Ming, they all came to the tenth floor.

This floor of the pavilion was a restricted area, and only the sect master and someone with their token were allowed to stay here.

There were a total of ten suites on this floor that were like presidential suites from luxurious hotels. Each one equipped with different facilities and multiple rooms.

Zhen Yunqi and they all decided to live in a single suite.

This decision stunned the fatty Zi Han; however, he didn’t delay and hurriedly arranged some female servants outside of the suite for their daily needs.

If they needed anything, just call them or ring the bell; they would immediately carry their orders.

"Wow! This suit is really luxurious!" Lan Ming couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing the shining gold and luxurious sofas and chairs in the hall.

Although she was the granddaughter of an elder, he didn’t have authority to stay here, so it was the first time seeing this.

Li Mei was also stunned at this, but she had been living in the courtyard of Zhen Yunqi, which was even more luxurious than this, so she didn’t feel too much.

As for Ye Chen, for him it was just a place to stay, so he didn’t care too much.

"Is Jing Xiao’s condition really serious?" Zhen Yunqi inquired suddenly.

Hearing her, Li Mei and Lan Ming also looked at him.

Li Mei knew about his medical knowledge, and as for Lan Ming, she believed whatever he said was the truth, so they both didn’t doubt his words.

It’s just they wanted to know what kind of problem Jing Xiao was having.

Watching their looks, Ye Chen smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it’s serious, but after a year or two, she will regain her lost cultivation even if she fails to treat herself," he replied with a carefree look.

If Jing Xiao were here, she would definitely curse him to death for not telling this.

"Brother Chen, what happened to her, and how can you tell what’s wrong with her?" Lan Ming inquired with a curious look.

In response, Ye Chen explained how he found her problem while also explaining why this happened to her.

The reason was very simple: it was because she had consumed a tier 6 yin-nature fruit in her menstruation cycle.

Of course this wouldn’t create any problem, but after consuming the fruit, she had redefined pills of yang attribute with a flawed alchemy technique.

This resulted in the imbalance of yin energy from the fruit inside her body, and because she didn’t notice this, it escalated into the current condition.

Hearing this, Li Mei and Lan Ming couldn’t help but blush at this.

They didn’t expect that something like this could happen on such cycles.

"Jing Xiao has some special tier 4 and tier 5 herbs in her garden; there is also a mystic pagoda in her sect, which is beneficial for Qi-reining cultivators. By the way, she is a rich woman," Zhen Yunqi said suddenly.

She didn’t know if Jing Xiao was able to treat her condition, but if she failed to do so, she would definitely come here with a crying face; at that time, she hoped Ye Chen would reap benefits from her.

Ye Chen understood her intentions, and he couldn’t help but find it funny how she was trying to bully her childhood ’playmate.’

Nevertheless, he didn’t deny it and nodded.

"Of course I wanted something from her; if not, why would I expose this to her?" he said with a shrug.

At first, he wanted to flirt with her and make things difficult for her. But after examining her condition, he changed his mind.

’A pity that it’s not a life-threatening condition; if not, I will be able to recruit a powerful maid,’ he thought to himself as he imagined Jing Xiao brewing him tea with a resentful look.

"Brother Chen, Sister MeiMei, let’s select our rooms," Lan Ming suggested.

She had planned to live here, and Zhen Yunqi agreed with her.

It’s not like she didn’t know the reason for her coming here; it’s just she didn’t want to involve herself in the relationship of the younger generation.

So, after saying a few more words to them, she decided on her room and left the three of them in the hall.

Of course, they didn’t waste too much time and selected their own rooms.

Ye Chen wanted to be in the same room as Li Mei, but before he could say something, she had already pointed at a different room and claimed that was his.

After that, she hurriedly ran away to her room and closed the door tightly, not giving him any chance to stay together.

In the end he could only enter his room alone; as for Lan Ming, she wanted to stay with him, but she thought it wouldn’t be good in the presence of Li Mei and the sect master, so she also entered another room, which she had selected.

…

It had been a while since the episode of Ye Chen and Jing Xiao happened, but after recalling it, Hu Tian couldn’t help but frown.

"He didn’t have any cultivation when he arrived in the sect, so he should not be any disciple trained by someone, but to recognize the issue just after coming in contact, he definitely has high attainments in medicine."

He muttered, his frown becoming harder and harder.

If Ye Chen wasn’t a disciple of someone, then he must have obtained a medicine inheritance, but if that’s not the case, then he might be like him, a reincarnated person.

He wanted to convince himself that it must be inheritance; however, he just couldn’t shake the feeling of him being reincarnated.

’Looks like I should really get rid of him in the Mystic Pond,’ he thought with a cold look.

He wanted to do this before; however, after knowing the plan of Hu Ming and the elders, he thought of getting rid of him at the time of return.

But now he changed his thought, because if Ye Chen is really a reincarnated person, then he must have some trump cards, and he might even be able to escape easily after increasing his cultivation.

There was no way he would allow this to happen if not a hidden danger would be always looming over his head.

…

On the tenth floor of Jade Mountain Pavilion, Jing Xiao sat in her room, meditating calmly.

But suddenly her expression changed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This method is also useless!" she muttered with a hint of anxiousness.

It had been five months since she had been suffering from the pain.

She knew there was something wrong with her body; however, she didn’t dare to tell anyone because of embarrassment.

Moreover, the pain wasn’t unbearable, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.

However, after hearing Ye Chen’s words, she couldn’t help but become anxious.

She knew where the root of the problem was, so she tried to forcefully deal with it; however, it backfired, and she was injured in the process.

If not for the fact her grandfather had gone to travel, she would’ve rushed home and asked him to treat her.

But now with him not here, she could only try to resolve herself; as for asking Ye Chen for help, she hadn’t thought about it yet.

"Don’t be anxious; there are still a few days remaining, and what if that brat is lying?" She assured herself.

However, no matter how many times she said this, she already believed what Ye Chen said was true.

After all, he pointed out the symptoms perfectly; moreover, the pain was getting stronger these days, and it was almost five months from the time she had a problem.

"Let’s try again." She gritted her silver-white teeth and once again focused on fixing the root of the problem.

…

Just as Jing Xiao was busy treating herself, the news of her being unwell spread like wildfire in the Mystic City.

However, with her being the granddaughter of a divine doctor, no one thought it was something serious. So, they all focused on another piece of news, and that was blushing and reacting shyly after being held by a young man named Ye Chen.

The more the news spread, the weirder the news got. Some even said they had both been married secretly and always called each other by affectionate names.
