Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Detailed Investigation

"Of course, of course!" Li Xinghu naturally wouldn’t decline the request. After all, they wouldn’t lose out if Li Biyun was cured. Even if she wasn’t, they still wouldn’t lose out. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Fruit was meant to treat Li Biyun’s deafness and muteness in the first place. If she recovered, what use would they have for it?

Xu Yanran pouted. "Elder Li, you trust this guy so much without seeing any results?"

"My principle has always been to trust those I employ and not employ those I doubt!" Li Xinghu smiled. "I trust President Lu’s character and Young Master Chen’s abilities."

Xu Yanran pouted. "This guy is just a lecher. Aren’t you afraid he might..."

Chen Xiao glared at her. "Didn’t you get enough of a beating the other day? That fleshy backside of yours is pretty durable, isn’t it? Want another taste of my hand?"

"Shut up!" Remembering how Chen Xiao had pinned her over a table and spanked her relentlessly made her flush with shame and anger. It was the humiliation of her life!

Li Xinghu was startled. "Miss Xu, haven’t you already reached the Grandmaster Realm? How could you..."

Not be a match for Chen Xiao?

Xu Yanran’s face turned red. Li Xinghu was practically half a mentor to her; she had only entered the Dragon Soul on his recommendation. After learning that he had retired to Yuncheng City, she had made a special trip to visit and share the good news of her breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm.

And now this guy had the gall to make her lose face in front of Elder Li?

She felt utterly humiliated.

Lu Wushuang smiled. "It’s just childish squabbling. If they were to fight for real, my Junior Brother wouldn’t necessarily be a match for Miss Xu. Right, Miss Xu?"

"Hahaha!" Li Xinghu laughed heartily. "Competition breeds progress! Yanran, you should turn this shame into motivation and strive to improve."

He didn’t take such a trivial matter to heart. What surprised him, however, was that Chen Xiao possessed enough strength to humble Xu Yanran, which was no simple feat. The more he watched, the more he felt this young man was a dark horse.

Xu Yanran was speechless and unable to retort.

Have you ever seen a child who’s over six feet tall?

"Elder Li, let’s find somewhere to sit. I’ll take Miss Li’s pulse to see what the problem is." He had only briefly examined Li Biyun and could tell something was unusual about her, but he needed to take her pulse to confirm the exact problem.

"Alright," Li Xinghu nodded.

「In the Li Family’s hall」

After Chen Xiao finished taking Li Biyun’s pulse, the young girl’s face turned as red as a monkey’s bottom, and she quickly pulled her hand away. After all, she hadn’t had any contact with men for many years and was not used to it. Although she didn’t dislike being near Chen Xiao, she was still very shy.

Chen Xiao’s expression, however, turned extremely grave. "Elder, Miss Li’s condition is not simple. I just used my Qi to probe her system. Although she has never practiced cultivation, her meridians are even tougher than those of many Martial Artists."

"Moreover, the most critical issue is that all of her meridians are blocked. What’s obstructing them isn’t impurities, but... a special kind of power."

Hearing this, Li Xinghu and the others’ expressions changed slightly.

Chen Xiao continued, "Curing Miss Li’s ailment won’t be an overnight task. I will need some time and, more importantly, her full cooperation."

Li Xinghu asked, "Are you confident, Young Master Chen?"

"I am, it’s just a bit troublesome," Chen Xiao affirmed.

Li Xinghu turned his gaze to Li Biyun. She timidly lowered her head, but then, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded firmly.

"Alright! In that case, Miss Li, please come with me. Her condition is quite complex, and I need to examine her more thoroughly to see if there are any other problems."
