Yang Xuan returned to the city with Lin Suyi in his arms. For a moment, he didn't know where to go. After thinking for a while, he headed in the direction of the Hall of Masters.
After avoiding the guards and entering the Hall of Masters, he originally planned to return to his own courtyard.
"Who is it?" A voice suddenly sounded. At the same time, an incomparably fierce aura spread out, oppressing him.
Yang Xuan was a little embarrassed. He had already sensed someone coming, but he couldn't avoid it. He could only face it calmly.
"Brother Sun, it's me." Yang Xuan said awkwardly. At the same time, he felt Lin Suyi in his arms suddenly burrowing her head into his chest.
"Oh, it's Brother Yang. I was wondering which Xiantian master came to visit so late at night." Withdrawing his aura, Sun Linlian walked out from the side and looked curiously at Yang Xuan.
Even with Yang Xuan's old face, he felt embarrassed at this time. He could only try to find something to say: "Brother Sun, you haven't slept yet?"
Sun Linlian looked at Yang Xuan, and his eyes inadvertently swept over Lin Suyi in Yang Xuan's arms. His face revealed a smile that wasn't a smile, and he laughed: "Brother Yang is so elegant. I won't disturb you. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"
Finished speaking, he turned and left directly, not even giving Yang Xuan a chance to explain.
Xiantian masters acted without scruples. Not to mention that Yang Xuan went to kidnap a woman in the middle of the night, even if he kidnapped eight or ten, he wouldn't be surprised. He would only think that young people were hot-tempered.
Yang Xuan opened his mouth, but he really didn't know how to explain. He could only helplessly watch Sun Linlian leave.
Returning to his courtyard, as soon as he entered his room, a maid came to greet him.
The Yan imperial family had prepared a luxurious courtyard for every Xiantian master in the Hall of Masters. They were also equipped with maids to serve the masters at any time.
These maids were divided into several shifts, regardless of whether the masters were present or not. Even if it was late at night, there would be maids waiting at all times.
"Master, do you need me to prepare a hot bath?" A pretty maidservant stepped forward and bowed.
They were assigned to serve the new Grand Guardian of the State, Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan's appearance had long been drawn by a painter, so they were familiar with it. Thus, when they saw Yang Xuan, they knew that it was their master, so it was not strange.
They turned a blind eye to Yang Xuan's appearance in the middle of the night with a woman in his arms.
Not to mention the fact that they didn't dare to question the actions of a Xiantian master. Even they themselves had become Yang Xuan's private property from the day they came here. They could be beaten or scolded as he wished, and their lives were at his whim.
Although this was the case, as they spoke, the several pretty maids all looked at Lin Suyi in Yang Xuan's arms with envy. If they could become the woman of a Xiantian master, it would be a blessing that they couldn't obtain even in several lifetimes.
It could be said that if Yang Xuan revealed the slightest bit of this intention, they would definitely be wild with joy. They would wash themselves clean and present themselves in front of Yang Xuan, willing to do whatever he wanted.
"No need, all of you can leave. If I need you, I will call for you," Yang Xuan said indifferently.
"Yes!" The maids stood up and bowed again before slowly retreating. They also helped Yang Xuan close the door while they were at it.
"Miss Lin, you can come down now," Yang Xuan said as he watched the maids leave.
"Ah?" Lin Suyi came back to her senses, her face flushed red.
Yang Xuan gently put Lin Suyi down, then said, "Miss Lin, how do you feel about your injuries?"
Leaving Yang Xuan's arms, Lin Suyi felt an inexplicable reluctance and a sense of loss. As soon as this thought came to her mind, even she was a little confused.
Only after hearing Yang Xuan's question did she react. First, she removed her veil, then circulated her inner Qi through her body. She didn't feel any obstructions, and even felt a little smoother than before. Even her inner Qi seemed to have been strengthened.
She couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Grandmaster Yang, why are my injuries completely healed? And the circulation of my inner breath is smoother than before? "
Yang Xuan smiled and changed the topic, "Miss Lin, now can you tell me what's going on?"
Lin Suyi's expression shook when she heard this. She pondered for a moment, but didn't speak first. Instead, she took out a small jade box from her sleeve and carefully placed it on the table. Then, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her veil and looked at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan naturally sat down. First, he poured a cup of tea for each of them. Then, he glanced at the jade box on the table and asked, "What is this?" At the same time, he motioned for Lin Suyi to sit down and talk.
Lin Suyi readily accepted and sat opposite Yang Xuan. Her eyes flashed with joy, "Grandmaster Yang, what do you think this is?"
Yang Xuan didn't even look at it and directly said, "A spiritual beast's inner core?"
Lin Suyi wasn't surprised. It wasn't strange for a Xiantian Master to know about a spiritual beast's inner core. She continued, "Grandmaster Yang guessed right. This is indeed a fire attribute spiritual beast's inner core."
Then, her face showed a trace of sadness. She looked at Yang Xuan and said gratefully, "Grandmaster Yang, it's all thanks to you today. Otherwise, not only would I not have gotten this fire attribute spiritual beast's inner core, I would have even lost my life."
Yang Xuan waved his hand, "It's just a coincidence."
Lin Suyi shook her head, "Grandmaster Yang, not only did you save my life, you also saved my brother's life at the same time. Your kindness is equivalent to giving me a new life."
Yang Xuan felt a little strange and asked, "Your brother?"
Lin Suyi nodded with a sad face. She said, "My brother's name is Zhu Yan. He has been suffering from a cold disease since he was young. Medicine can't cure him. Every year, he needs to absorb a fire attribute spiritual beast's inner core to prolong his life. Otherwise, the cold poison will attack his heart and he won't live long."
After a pause, she continued, "For so many years, I've been traveling everywhere. While searching for fire attribute spiritual beast's inner core, I've also been visiting famous doctors to see if I can get a cure."
"I see." Yang Xuan finally understood. At the same time, he also felt some admiration for Lin Suyi.
A weak woman traveling everywhere for so many years, looking for doctors and medicine. She must have gone through a lot of hardships, but she never gave up. It was admirable.
"Miss Lin, this inner core …?" Yang Xuan looked at the jade box on the table with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Lin Suyi looked a little embarrassed. She paused for a while before saying, "To be honest, this inner core belongs to the Liang Family of Beijing. I've visited them many times to offer to buy it. I even promised to exchange inner cores of other attributes, but I was rejected by the Liang Family. However, my brother urgently needs a fire attribute inner core to save his life. I had no choice but to do this. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. "
As she spoke, she looked at Yang Xuan's face as if she was observing Yang Xuan's reaction. Seeing that Yang Xuan's expression didn't change, she was slightly relieved.
She didn't know why, but she didn't want Yang Xuan to look down on her.
Yang Xuan nodded. "Miss Lin's deep relationship with your brother is admirable, but …"
He paused and looked at the jade box again.
Lin Suyi's heart tightened. She asked, "Master Yang, what's wrong?"
"Miss Lin, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid this inner core isn't a fire attribute inner core." Yang Xuan raised his teacup and took a sip.
The jade box on the table emitted a faint chill. Due to the isolation of the jade box, the chill was extremely weak. Even Lin Suyi was fooled by it, but how could it escape Yang Xuan's spiritual sense?
He was curious just now, but now that he sensed it carefully, he was sure that it wasn't a fire attribute inner core in the box, but an ice attribute inner core.
"What?" Lin Suyi was shocked. She didn't care about etiquette and reached out to open the box.
As soon as the box was opened, a chill surged out. It was like a world of ice and snow, freezing people's hearts and lungs. Inside the jade box, there was a white bead. There was frost on it, and the cold air was threatening.
"How could this be?" Lin Suyi's eyes lost focus. She seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. Her body went soft and she couldn't even sit still.
She had gone through life and death to obtain this item, but she realized that it wasn't what she had expected. Anyone would feel like the sky was falling and the earth was caving in.
"Miss Lin, did you take the wrong one in a hurry?" Yang Xuan also felt sorry for Lin Suyi.
"No, the Liang family only obtained one inner core recently. They didn't have any other inner cores." Lin Suyi's eyes were still lost as she muttered.
Yang Xuan didn't know how to comfort Lin Suyi and could only remain silent.
Lin Suyi stared blankly at the inner core on the table. After a while, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes. Then, pearl-like tears rolled down and smashed onto the table like flowers blooming.
Lin Suyi's tears dripped down. She was sobbing like a pear blossom in the rain. Her body trembled like a helpless lamb, making people pity her.
"Miss Lin …" Yang Xuan reached out his hand, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, Lin Suyi had a strong personality. She stopped sobbing after a few times, but her face was full of despair and she couldn't hide it.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and said, "Miss Lin, you don't have to be disappointed. Why don't you go find the Seventh Prince? I'm sure there should be some inner cores in the royal treasury."
"I've already asked. The royal treasury also doesn't have a fire-type inner core. The Liang family is my last hope. I didn't expect the information to be wrong. I wasted time." Lin Suyi's face was still full of despair and her eyes were lost.
"My brother urgently needs the fire-type inner core to save his life. If he can't find it within two months, the cold poison will attack his heart and he will die. But how precious is the inner core of a spiritual beast? Where am I going to find another fire-type inner core in such a short time?" Lin Suyi said, her tears about to fall again.
Yang Xuan also had an inner core himself, which he obtained from killing the Connate Spiritual Crocodile. However, this inner core wasn't a fire-type inner core, but a water-type inner core.
Helpless, Yang Xuan casually asked, "I wonder if there are any other treatment methods?"
"There is, but it's thousands of times harder than finding the inner core of a fire-type spiritual beast. It's the same as not having any." Lin Suyi said absentmindedly.
"Oh? There's still a treatment method? "Yang Xuan was curious.
Lin Suyi collected her emotions. She had experienced life and death today. Her mood went from hope to hopelessness, from hopelessness to hope, and finally to hopelessness. She was like a mountain with ups and downs. It was commendable that she didn't break down.
"My father has visited many famous doctors and found one." She paused for a moment, and her despair deepened. Then she continued, "I have to find the Scarlet Lotus Fire and draw it into my body to cure the cold poison."
After she finished speaking, she revealed a look of despair and tears flowed. "But the Scarlet Lotus Fire is one of the Heavenly Flames. It has always been recorded in the history books and only exists in legends. Who has seen it before? It's easier to find the inner core of a fire-type spiritual beast. "
"Hmm? Geocentric Scarlet Lotus Fire? "Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
"Yes, Geocentric Scarlet Lotus Fire. Grandmaster Yang also knows about this Heavenly Flame?"
"How could I not know?" Yang Xuan laughed, which confused Lin Suyi.
