The Story of the Swordsman

The Story of the Swordsman
Yang Clan



In the courtyard somewhere in the Yang clan, an eighteen-year-old woman was sitting quietly on the bed while trying to absorb the energy around her. She has an almond-shaped face, a smooth nose, and thin lips. His long, slender brows furrowed involuntarily with his eyes closed. Her face was quite pale, droplets of sweat covered her entire pretty face. He looks a bit in pain right now.


"Yes..." Suddenly, his eyes opened, along with a long breath. A sad expression appeared on his face. He was very disappointed in himself.


Bang out!


"Miss! Miss!" Suddenly, a green-robed young girl barged into the room as she shouted loudly.


The woman replied: "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry, Lingling?"


The girl, Xiao Lingling, gasped for breath as she replied, "Miss, there is a magical doctor appearing in our market! So far, he can treat every disease easily. Even Madam Hong, who was suffering from an unknown illness, had been cured by her! We must bring Young Master Yang Chen to see him!"


The woman was surprised to hear this. Of course, she knew Madam Hong's condition very well, not even the most famous doctor in the capital could cure her. However, this doctor who appeared out of nowhere managed to do so. This showed his achievements in the medical arts were very high.


The woman was silent for a moment. She was Yang Mengli, the Eldest Young Miss of the Yang clan and she was also Yang Chen's elder sister. His talent may not be high, but his business thinking and management abilities are unrivalled among his peers. Even though he knew Yun Lintian could cure Madam Hong's illness, he remained doubtful. After all, Yang Chen's condition was a hundred times worse than that of Madame Hong.


Yang Mengli pondered for a moment before he decided to give it a try: "Let's go. I'll see this doctor first before deciding further." With that, he stood up and exited the room with Xiao Lingling following behind.


...


"It's done. After returning, you can give your grandmother the medicine according to this prescription." Yun Lintian took back the silver needle from an old woman in her eighties and said to a young girl at the side.


The young girl nodded her head excitedly and carefully kept the recipe paper on her dirty sleeve. She lowered her head deeply: "Thank you for helping my grandmother. I will remember this kindness forever."


Yun Lintian glanced at the tattered clothes of the young girl and sighed deeply. He then took out five gold coins from his sleeve and put them into the young girl's hands: "His medicine should be no more than fifty silver coins. You can use the rest for food and clothing."


The young girl was startled for a moment, and her eyes became sad. While the old woman was already crying as she directly knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Doctor. Thank you." Thank you."


Yun Lintian was embarrassed to see this scene. He hurriedly helped the old woman up and said, "This is nothing, grandma. You must live well from now on." He turned to the young girl and continued, "Alright, don't cry. Bring your grandmother back. He needs enough rest."


The young girl choked on tears while nodding her head. She escorted her grandmother out of the stall, disappearing into the crowd.


Yun Lintian turned to the crowd and said calmly, "I hope there won't be any bad news like a robbery on a helpless young girl. Everyone understands, right?"


The crowd glanced at each other and revealed their understanding towards Yun Lintian. Previously, when they saw Yun Lintian give the young girl a gold coin, they were quite tempted. However, when they heard the warning from him, the bad thoughts instantly disappeared. No one wants to offend the doctor. Especially, a genius physician like Yun Lintian. If something were to happen to the young girl, without a doubt, Yun Lintian could use public power to suppress the culprit directly. Needless to say, there would be someone willing to offer their help to get help from him.


Yun Lintian nodded his head and sat back in his chair with a satisfied smile, preparing to continue his work. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure coming towards him. She was wearing a beautiful blue robe with a white ribbon on her waist. Her hair was neatly on her shoulders and there was a veil on her face, hiding half of her face. At a glance, Yun Lintian knew he should be someone from a large clan.


"Isn't that Young Miss Yang Mengli?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.


"Yes, there he is. Why did he show up here?" Said someone else.


"Stupid! Have you heard of Young Master Yang Chen's situation? He must have come here for the genius doctor."


All the discussions fell into Yun Lintian's ears, causing his eyebrows to be raised in shock. He had not expected someone from the Yang clan to come to him so soon. More importantly, the person who came seemed to be someone related to Yang Chen. It seemed that the Goddess of Fortune had always been on his side from the first day he arrived in the city.


Before he could say anything, Yun Lintian had spoken first: "Miss, I don't care who you are or what your background is. If you want me to serve you, please get in line."


Yang Mengli was startled for a moment, and he slightly bowed before retreating to the back of the line.


"Miss, isn't he a little arrogant?" Xiao Lingling whispered dissatisfiedly.


Yang Mengli replied gently, "No. We were wrong." His eyes were fixed on Yun Lintian without blinking. This was the first time he had seen someone who did not flatter the descendants of a great clan. This doctor obeys his principles. It was extremely rare, especially in the capital, where one would do their best to flatter anyone from the six major clans.


Moreover, he was curious about Yun Lintian's origin. To his knowledge, there was no one with the surname Yun in the Heavenly Fortune Capital who was proficient in the medical profound arts. To have such high skills at such a young age, his background should be unusual.


An hour passed quickly, and Yang Mengli's turn had arrived.


"Greetings, Doctor. My name is Yang Mengli. I'd like to ask the Doctor to take care of my little brother." Yang Mengli spoke politely.


Yun Lintian glanced at Yang Mengli for a moment and a strange expression appeared on his face. He said, "Are you sure, you don't need my help?" His words instantly confused Yang Mengli, and he said further, "Do you feel pain in your Blood Vessels every time you try to absorb the energy within? And you'll feel a piercing chill in your lower body every night, leaving you unable to sleep?"


Yang Mengli was surprised. He had the exact problem as Yun Lintian had said. In the past, his talent could be considered a genius level. However, five years ago, his Blood Vessels were suddenly in trouble. Every time he tried to absorb the energy within, he would feel intense pain in his Blood Vessels. In addition, every part of his body from his waist to the tip of his feet would feel an unbearable cold every night, it caused him to suffer to the point that he could not even sleep well in one night from then on.


His father, Yang Gouming, had deployed the clan's resources to search for doctors throughout the Heavenly Fortune Country. But in the end, no one could cure him.


Since then, Yang Mengli was forced out of the successor competition, and the other elders in the clan also used this opportunity to fight Yang Gouming because he had wasted too many resources for him. And this incident caused the position of the Gouming patriarch to be threatened. He had always felt guilty towards his father all this time.


Yang Mengli regained her composure as she asked doubtfully, "My illness is treatable?"


Yun Lintian gestured for him to sit down. He replied, "Let me check your condition first."


Yang Mengli calmed himself down and extended his hand to Yun Lintian. He grabbed his wrist and a piece of paper had slipped into Yang Mengli's sleeves.


Yang Mengli's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Yun Lintian questioningly. When she saw him looking at her with a serious expression, she seemed to immediately understand something.


Yun Lintian withdrew his hand and said, "Sorry. I can't help you. Your condition is too abnormal. I doubt if there is anyone in the Northern Continent who can help you. You should go back and read more medical records. Maybe, you can find something."


As a woman who had been involved in business management since a young age, she was smart enough to understand the clues behind Yun Lintian's words. He quickly acted as he lowered his head and said sadly, "I understand ... What about my sister? Does the doctor have a way to cure it?"


Yun Lintian pretended to be brooding while giving a thumbs up to Yang Mengli in his heart ... This girl seems pretty smart. He replied, "I heard that your brother's Blood Vessels have been destroyed. I don't think I can help you with that."


Yang Mengli sighed helplessly. He stood up: "Thank you, Doctor. Even though you can't help me, I'm grateful to you." After that, he turned around and left immediately.


Xiao Lingling looked at Yun Lintian deeply before she hurriedly followed Yang Mengli out.


The crowd heard the conversation between them clearly. They shook their heads and discussed in a low voice. They were expecting this result. It would be surprising if one could repair the shattered Blood Vessels. After all, it only existed in legends.
