The Returning Sword Saint's

Chapter 9: The Heavenly Yin Curse

Xiao Yun heard that carefully and he stroked his chin.

"I understand a little about the divination story you submitted, but before, I would like to ask Miss Quanxi." Xiao Yun turned his head towards the girl.

The ordinary-looking girl did not change her expression and replied, "Please."

Xiao Yun could hear the girl's soft and sweet voice, lying if Xiao Yun was not fascinated by her voice, but she was only affected slightly before regaining her composure. Perhaps because Xiao Yun had already experienced this in his previous life, he was resistant to any kind of beauty.

Xiao Yun also thought that this girl changed her appearance from extraordinarily beautiful to extremely ordinary. It was not a surprise to him because of the myriad methods to change one's appearance. However, not everyone or affiliates have a method to do so.

"Miss Quanxi, it's no secret that you will be sacrificed into a cauldron of cultivation slaves, then, do you accept it?" xiao Yun asked with a stern face.

Quanxi's face didn't even change, she was like an ice girl who had a aloof nature, "No, I reject that, my destiny is in my own hands."

"What about your clan? Didn't your clan have suffered so much that your father was willing to sacrifice you?"

"I know of it, my clan is afraid of setbacks and the possible consequences of extermination on the clan or being annexed by other great powers, but I also have my own path. A woman who possesses the Heavenly Yin Constitution will be born with heaven-defying talent, I am confident that with my abilities and talents it is able to soar to a higher realm. Unfortunately due to the curse of fate, I don't have much time to increase my cultivation to the peak!"

"I was desperate as if I could only accept my own destiny, but I didn't want to accept it. I want to live the life I want, I want to grow strong so I can defend myself. That's why when I received the news that Uncle Geum had a prophecy that I could be saved, I wanted to go with him to Tianyuan Continent even though I knew mother would get the punishment." Quanxi said that and there was a trace of sadness in his expression.

Xiao Yun listened well and he pondered.

"So, you mean for me to help you, don't you think?" asked Xiao Yun.

Geum Seong and Quanxi both nodded. Xiao Yun saw that and his mind continued to flutter.

After a few short conversations, Xiao Yun was able to better understand the situation of the two people.

It turned out that the relationship between Geum Seong and Quanxi could be said to be limited to masters and servants. Geum Seong was a loyal servant of Quanxi's mother to protect Quanxi from all sorts of dangers. However, Xiao Yun noticed that their closeness did not seem that simple, as if Geum Seong was really treating Quanxi like a child himself.

Xiao Yun did not know what relationship Quanxi mother had with Geum Seong, and it was not a matter of Xiao Yun to be revealed.

He tried to think about it this time. He could have actually helped Quanxi heal the matter regarding his Heavenly Yin Constitution, but it was not an easy matter and required a time-consuming process.

His original plan was to grow stronger until he was enough to punish the people in the Xiao Clan, but the intersection of fate with Quanxi made him have to revise his plans.

Rejecting Geum Seong's request was tantamount to seeking early death, although Xiao Yun was unable to see the middle-aged man's cultivation base, but he was confident that the man was able to kill him easily.

However if he accepted it, it would be a question later in Geum Seong and Quanxi's mind about how a teenager who was only at the Qi Gathering realm four had the knowledge of methods of curing the root of the problem.

There was actually a slight flaw about the prophecy Geum Seong gave. In any case, would you believe the prophecy about a teenage boy curing a problem that even great healers and alchemists could not solve? Maybe even Geum Seong did not believe that either.

Perhaps out of desperation and time, he tried to believe the prophecy because there was no other alternative.

This matter was extremely critical for Xiao Yun, however he did not want his reincarnated identity to yet retain his memories from his previous life uncovered. Apparently, he had to improvise a bit in order to solve this problem.

Such a Xiao Yun would play the role of a lie this time, although this dual role would be a little troublesome, but he could utilize this lie for some advantage.

"Ah, so I see, of course we can wait for a few days. Indeed I was in too much of a hurry to ask for help without seeing your condition." Geum Seong stated while apologizing.

"It's okay, although indeed the curse of the Heavenly Yin seems scary, but it's nothing in my teacher's hands." Xiao Yun said with certainty.

Xiao Yun drank the water in the cup and asked, "Ah, by the way, how could uncle know that I was the one in the prophecy? Though the information from the bamboo slip is not so accurate?"

Geum Seong smiled, he then said, "Actually we have investigated many people in Lantian City. The people with the 'Yun' clan there are only hundreds of them, and we have investigated those people but all of them have no criteria. We then began to narrow down by looking for people with the last name 'Yun', and so far, we don't meet a suitable person. Only you seem to have that criterion ..."

Xiao Yun narrowed, "You mean ... What criteria make me fit?"

Geum Seong smiled, "I don't know, but my instincts state that you're not a simple person."

Xiao Yun was a little astonished and he smiled wryly. "The instinct of a swordsman is indeed indisputable, yes ..."

Indeed a warrior who has fought hundreds of times through life and death situations will have a strong sense of feeling. Xiao Yun also had this trait in his previous life. With strong instincts, Xiao Yun was even able to discern evil and good intentions in a person.

Xiao Yun threw away his distant thoughts and shifted the conversation, "By the way, did the symptoms of something uncomfortable start to recur in some part of your body, Miss Quanxi?"

Quanxi was surprised to hear this, suddenly her cheeks flushed red, "Ah, k-you're right ..."

Xiao Yun remained flat and said, "Of course I know, I have read a book from my teacher on this matter. These symptoms will continue to occur as time develops and maybe even every night you will be tormented with these symptoms until you feel like you want to explode."

"If that continues, maybe you'll go running into a brothel to find some men to ease your torment." Xiao Yun responded indifferently.

"..."

Geum Seong was surprised to hear this, he turned his gaze to Quanxi and found that the girl seemed to have blushing cheeks but was also frightened.

Although he was close to his young miss, but he actually did not know about this. Each time, he only saw his elegant and wise young lady smiling without any flaws.

Who knew that her young lady would be tormented at some time and she did not know it at all. Geum Seong actually stated that he was a useless servant.

The panicked-looking Quanxi asked, "Do you know how to get rid of these symptoms?"

Xiao Yun did not answer the question, he turned his head towards Geum Seong, "I'll write a pill and potion recipe that will ease the symptoms, so can it ..."

Before Xiao Yun could finish his words, Geum Seong had already given the bamboo slip in his hand. Xiao Yun then smiled, "It's much more convenient."

Xiao Yun then began to transfer information about the recipe that had been spoken. After that he gave Geum Seong a bamboo slip.

Geum Seong accepted that and lowered his head, "Thank you."
