Chapter 393: Mysteries of Healing
Gui Yutong put her hands up, shaking her head. No, no! Im grateful to Xie Hao for healing Wu Fanyun. Whatever Fellow Daoist had to do to accomplish that, naturally, I trust in your arts.
Her eyes flickered to the crow on Huis shoulder. She opened her mouth, then shut it again. Her brows furrowed.
Hui tucked his hands behind him and did his best to exude a scholarly air. Of course. Elder Sister, please dont ask about the crow. I truly could not explain it to you if I tried.
How could I repay you? she asked, running over to his side. She looked him up and down and licked her lips, unsubtly adjusting her robes.
Elder Sister, you know your Wu Fanyun there just woke up from deep injury and shouted for me not to touch him due to you! Is this right? Is this the way the world is?
Ah, well, I dont know their situation. For all I know, its one-sided admiration from Wu Fanyun. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
In any case, Im not interested in Gui Yutongs body! I need spirit stones, techniques, new comprehensions and qi, and a way to enter All-Heavens Sect, not a woman!
Rather than acknowledge her, Hui turned and gazed at the wall. The line of his sight pierced through the wall to land on the distant location of All-Heavens Sect. There is only one thing I desire in this world, and you, Gui Yutong, possess the right to grant it.
Oh? Gui Yutong straightened up, no longer posing seductively.
Hui lifted his finger, pointing through the wall. Admission to All-Heavens Sect! As a healer, Ive long admired All-Heavens healers, but unfortunately, I wasnt chosen or admitted to All-Heavens Sect, no matter how I tried. Could you, possibly gain me admittance to the sect?
Gui Yutong hesitated. I not directly, but
But? Hui asked. Ill grasp at any thread. Even a one-in-a-thousand chance is enough for me! Im desperate, and Im not afraid of getting dirty or hard work!
All-Heavens is about to hold an admittance trial for higher-realm cultivators. You must be at least fourth-realm to enter ah, which I see Fellow Daoist Xie Hao is. However, I cannot guarantee your success or even favorable treatment. My father and I, we She took a deep breath. It may be that my referral is a stumbling block, not a stepping stone.
Hui shook his head. Elder Sister, please allow this small cultivator to attempt the trial. Even if your father opposes me, Ill simply perform so well the sect cant ignore me! After all, Im used to being stepped upon and looked down on. No one ever believed in me. In fact, even in Starbound Sect, I faced a great deal of trouble in progressing through the hierarchy. At this point I might feel stifled if the Seniors werent attempting to stifle me!
Gui Yutong took a deep breath and shook her head. Id feel terrible if you failed due to my influence. To repay your gratitude with my fathers viciousness
Hui waved his hand. If you really feel so concerned, then give this small cultivator spirit stones and talisman techniques as well, but please, put my name in to that selection trial! Even if I fail, to simply get my name out there is enough for me.
At that, Gui Yutong hesitantly nodded. I I understand. I agree. Ill put your name in to the trial. But Ill see if I can find some techniques for you. Talismans?
Hui nodded. He rubbed the side of his head awkwardly and gave her a small smile. Ah, this cultivator struggles to comprehend techniques that arent in talisman form. Its a small mental barrier I face.
That sounds troublesome indeed! But wait. Are there many healing talismanic techniques? Gui Yutong asked, murmuring the last bits to herself.
Hui coughed. That those are simple comprehensions. They dont even rise to the level of attack techniques.
But no one else could heal Wu Fanyun, Gui Yutong muttered.
No, no. It was simple, simple! In any case, small cultivator prefers talismans, but Ive gained a habit of transforming other techniques into talismans as well. Any fifth- or sixth-level technique is enough for me, Hui said.
Transforming techniques but that requires immense comprehension of the technique at hand, Gui Yutong murmured, lifting a hand to her chin.
No, no, no, Elder Sister. Have you ever tried it? Hui asked.
Eh, Hui said, startled. He looked between the two of them. There is a certain resemblance... then, is this one of those infamous incest romances?
No, no! In this world, Sister and Brother can refer to martial compatriots. It isnt necessarily biological. Even I often refer to my fellow cultivators as Elder Sister and Brother without any biological connection. Surely, this is
Turning to Hui, Gui Yutong bowed apologetically. Please forgive my brother. Hes been like this since he was small.
Hui cleared his throat. Then, you two biologically, you?
We share a father. A father who does not want to recognize his son, the child of a mere mortal dancer, Wu Fanyun spat, his brows twisting in disgust.
Wu Fanyun, Gui Yutong said quietly.
What? Its true. Hes the one who impregnated her and abandoned her! He deserves to die. Ah, but Elder Sister, for your support Ill always appreciate you, Wu Fanyun finished, his expression softening. He reached out for her hand.
Ah, Hui said, nodding slowly. Oh, this small cultivator understands. Youre a pervert.
Now everything makes sense. Gui Yutong sees Wu Fanyun as a brother and offered him sisterly love, but Wu Fanyun somehow misinterpreted it as romantic love. Wu Fanyun has fallen in romantic love with Elder Sister, but Elder Sister doesnt know how to break him out of his illusion without shattering his glass heart his glass heart that could be broken by something as simple as getting involuntarily infected by an Immortals qi.
People in this world so mentally fragile!
Thus, perhaps perhaps Elder Sister thought that sleeping with this small cultivator in an obvious and above-ground manner would clear things up with Wu Fanyun ah, perhaps she even thought that I would take the brunt of his anger, instead of herself! Luckily, this small cultivator is careful, very careful. By refusing her, I avoided a potential death scene for me!
Excellent, excellent. A lesson to remember, for certain! Everyone has ulterior motivations. And after all, who would want to sleep with a small cultivator like me? Clearly she had another goal in mind, and clearly, I avoided it with great speed and alacrity! Stay wary, Hui, stay wary, and cling to this small life of yours!
Peak Lord cleared his throat. What about Bai Xue?
Bai Xue has the clearest ulterior motives of all! Bai Xue likes sleeping with people! Hui proclaimed.
Oh, well, that doesnt sound so bad, Rogue commented.
Peak Lord coughed, but said nothing.
Gui Yutong casually lifted her hand out of his grasp before he could grip it, and pushed a bit of hair behind her ear. She smiled at Hui. I didnt mean to trouble you with my familys difficulties, but here we are anyways.
No, no. Please. This small cultivator doesnt mind, Hui said, waving his hand. Continue, continue! Ah, but maybe you can leave out the incest-y parts. Come to think of it, Wu Fanyun should shut up, but Gui Yutong, please keep speaking!
Ah although Im no fan of my father, I believe that he was truly in love with the dancerthat is, Wu Fanyuns mother. However, circumstances Gui Yutong said. She glanced down.
Circumstances? Go on! Hui shouted silently.
Circumstances? What circumstances! He abandoned my mother, plain and simple! Wu Fanyun burst out, frustrated.
No, that I certainly agree, but
There is no but, Wu Fanyun snarled, crossing his arms.
Hui narrowed his eyes at Wu Fanyun, annoyed. Could you please stop interjecting? This small Hui is trying to comprehend your family drama to figure out Gui Deluns weaknesses, okay?
