Lingering extraordinary talent! Xia Xue's wound

  So beautiful...

  Jin Yu Yao stared at Tang Zi Hao, who was spinning upwards, and for the first time, she saw a side of him that she had never known existed. His face was slightly sunken, his thin lips pursed, and his aura was sharp and fierce, exuding a masculine charm that made her unable to look away from his originally stern and handsome face. She was certain that no one in the immortal realm had such a majestic bearing! At this moment, she became even more determined, vowing to get him no matter what, even if it meant clinging to him tightly and not letting any other woman have a chance.

  Tang Zihao, who was floating in mid-air, gazed down at Sun Xing with a cold eye. The killing intent that arose within him made him want to teach Sun Xing a good lesson. Using his spiritual power, he let his body float in mid-air, and his hands quickly condensed together. A powerful force seemed to press down from the air, making it hard for people to breathe.

  Everyone was shocked and looked up at the sky, only to see that at this time, the sky merged into one, and a strange muffled thunder came out from the cloud layer. Unlike the last time with lightning, the power of this thunder was obviously smaller. After all, he was his master's disciple, and he couldn't really kill him in front of his master's face. However, it was necessary to teach him a lesson and make him remember!

  "Ah! Thunder, thunder!"

  The crowd was shocked and crouched down, holding their heads. They had seen thunder countless times, but never heard the muffled thunder that seemed to be right above their heads, nor felt the air pressure that made their blood churn in their chests, making it hard for them to breathe. Their chests felt like something was stirring inside, causing unbearable discomfort.

  Jin Yu Yao was shocked at the same time, and also had an incredulous face, what is this? Thunder? Is he a thunder attribute? Ordinary attributes only have five elements and some natural attributes, while those with such powerful power to move heaven and earth are only...

  Mutated Spiritual Root, Thunder Attribute!

  In his mind, a loud noise suddenly sounded, as if something had exploded, and he was shocked to open his mouth and stare with wide eyes. He, he, he was actually a variant spiritual root! This discovery made her blood seem to flow backwards, a kind of completely unacceptable shock exploding in her heart. It was too unbelievable! Too unbelievable...

  No wonder, no wonder the master valued him so much, no wonder the master said he could win by participating in the Xianmen Grand Competition. It turns out that he is actually a variant spiritual root with thunder properties!

  It wasn't just Jinyu Yao who was shocked. Sun Xing, the target of Tang Zihao's gaze, was now drenched in cold sweat and his heart racing with fear. He had never imagined that this crippled Tang Zihao would actually possess a variant spiritual root of the lightning attribute! A variant spiritual root that he had never heard of in all these years had appeared before him, and to make matters worse, it belonged to someone who was his master's disciple, taken in just two years ago - Tang Zihao, who had never even practiced spiritual cultivation before, yet was growing at an eerie speed!

  He was despised by others for his crippled legs, not only did they occasionally find fault with him, but even some of the disciples in their own sect and people from other peaks would often cause trouble for him. However, he endured it silently, or rather, he didn't put them in his eyes at all, to him, they were just like jesters, laughable. Mutated Spiritual Root, mutated Spiritual Root! He actually had a mutated Spiritual Root!

  "Boom!"

  The muffled thunder above his head grew louder, and the dull rumble pierced straight into his heart, startling him so much that his heart was racing wildly, and the cold sweat on his back flowed out like water. A surge of fear and panic spread from the bottom of his heart to his chest, causing him to tremble and lose his ability to fight...

  He was well aware that the power of the variant spiritual root was hundreds of times stronger than that of an ordinary spiritual root. The pressure he casually released was enough to make people unable to move, panicked and flustered. At this moment, his body couldn't stop trembling, swallowing saliva as he stared at the muffled thunder booming above his head and Tang Zihao floating in mid-air.

  Han Lin glanced at them and turned to leave, but just as he turned away, a loud clap of thunder struck down from above, striking the ground next to Sun Xing, who was only a step away. The close call left Sun Xing shaken, stumbling backwards and sitting on the ground, trembling with fear as he stared at the deep hole beside him, too shocked to speak for a long time...

  If it had split open on his head, would he still be alive?

  "Boom!"

  "Ah!"

  Another loud thunderbolt struck beside Sun Xing, startling him into a shrill cry as he tumbled to the ground, using all his might to scramble backward: "Master... Master, save me! Don't strike, don't strike, I beg of you, don't strike!" He looked back in terror, hoping to find his master to rescue him, but to his surprise, his master's figure was nowhere to be seen, leaving him shaking with fear.

  "Boom!"

  "Big Brother!"

  Another loud thunderbolt struck down beside him, the distance getting closer and closer each time. However, the few people who were in a state of shock and terror did not realize that Tang Zihao's thunder had not hit them, but was only warning them. Even so, they were already frightened to the point of being terrified and their hearts were shattered.

  "Stop, stop hitting me, I know I was wrong, I admit it, don't hit me again..." A series of thunder-like blows struck his body at close range, the oppressive aura on top of his head was terrifying. Sun Xing's hands and feet were trembling with fear, he had no strength to move back and hide, and he sat weakly on the ground. Between his legs, a puddle of water suddenly appeared, entering the eyes of several people, leaving them stunned and speechless.

  "Big, big brother is scared pee-less..."

  Tang Zihao, suspended in mid-air, halted the movement of his hands and withdrew the manipulation of his spiritual energy. He gazed down at the man sitting on the ground with a condescending attitude, then turned around and landed smoothly into the wheelchair below, sitting steadily.

  "I won't fight you, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I disdain you. This is a warning: if it weren't for the sake of our master, these thunderbolts wouldn't just be falling beside you, they'd be landing on your head." He glanced at them and pushed his wheelchair towards the house, but when he saw the destroyed door, he furrowed his brow: "Fix my door before sunset." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned a corner and headed in another direction.

  Sun Xing and the few male disciples stared blankly at the departing man, then looked at the destroyed door. Seeing him leave, Sun Xing's hands and feet were still trembling, his heart still filled with fear, unable to calm down. The few male disciples saw this and hastily said: "Big Brother, you go back first! We'll take care of repairing this door."

  Jin Yu Yao watched as Tang Zihao walked away, her gaze burning with intensity as she followed him. Variant spiritual root, lightning attribute... he actually had a variant spiritual root with a lightning attribute! If he didn't make a move, that was one thing, but once he did, it would be shocking. Today, he had taught Senior Brother Sun Xing a lesson, and from now on, no one in the sect would dare to show him any disrespect. At the time of the Great Sect Competition, Tang Zihao's name would surely resound throughout the sect, making his reputation known to all!

  She wanted to follow him, but the scene just now made her heart have a hint of fear. She hesitated for a moment and thought about it, but still didn't follow him. Maybe letting him calm down by himself would be better. He was from the same school as her, and he had accepted her feelings, so he couldn't escape!

  At the same time, Xia Xue, who was in the North Xianmen of the Tiger's Roar Continent, was also entangled by a man. He had a rare variant spiritual root with electric properties and was incredibly handsome. Wearing a snow-white robe that fluttered behind him, he was indeed worthy of the name Snow Fairy. Many men pursued him, including those from noble families and those with exceptional abilities, but Xia Xue didn't spare any of them a glance. Yet, despite this, they still refused to give up and continued to pester him.

  No one knows when it started, but people began calling her Snow Fairy. Very few know that her name is Xia Xue, and except for her master, no one associates her with the Ghost Hand Heaven Doctor Tang Xin, nor can anyone guess that she is actually Xia Xue by Tang Xin's side.

  At this time, in the Northern Immortal Gate, she arrived at her master's door, Qingfeng Peak Master Ye Shuang. Looking at the closed door, she hesitated for a moment before walking forward to knock on the door: "Master."

  "Come in!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside. Xia Xue heard this and pushed the door to enter.

  Inside, a middle-aged woman in a gray robe sat at the table, sipping tea, her expression calm, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. When Ye Shuang saw her arrive, he nodded and said, "Sit."

  "Master, I don't know what you want me to do?" She sat down beside him, looking at the master in front of her. At that time, she was thinking about which immortal door to enter when she accidentally met him outside and became his disciple, which was also an unexpected event. Later, during the test, the master told her that she had a variant spiritual root with electric properties, a very rare type of spiritual root, whose cultivation speed was faster than others and killing power was greater than others. Therefore, since following him back to the immortal door, she was almost isolated, in order to prevent some people from having evil intentions and attacking her before she could defend herself.

  But she knew that she was the one who had been by Tang Xin's side all along, and it started when Miss Tang killed the master of the Green Gate and saved the young master of the Hua family. At that time, she heard the news and wanted to go find her, wanting to go down the mountain. Her master asked for a clear reason, so she told him. But she didn't mention this to anyone else, nor did Tang Xin treat her differently just because Miss Tang was the Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor. On the contrary, she always urged her to intensify her practice, saying that only strong power could protect the people she wanted to protect. She was deeply grateful to her from the bottom of her heart.

  "Xiao Xue, I came looking for you today because I wanted to ask if you have any news about the young lady from your household?" Ye Shuang put down his teacup and asked.

  Upon hearing this, Xia Xue was taken aback and said: "Not yet. I heard she appeared in Xiangping City this time when I came down the mountain, but by the time I rushed there, she had already left, so we didn't meet."

  "Really!" Ye Shuang lowered her eyelids, with a hint of worry between her eyebrows. Xia Xue had never seen her master look like this before, and after a pause, she asked: "Master, do you have something to ask my mistress?" Her master usually didn't ask about her mistress's whereabouts or activities, so why was he suddenly asking today?

  Ye Shuang raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, but didn't say a word for a long time. She held the teacup, staring at the slightly swaying tea water inside, and after a while, she said: "Xiao Xue, come with me!"

  Xia Xue was taken aback, got up and followed her to a courtyard, pushed open a door and entered. Xia Xue didn't get close because she saw her master walk to the bedside, lift the bed curtain and look at the emaciated middle-aged man lying on the bed.

  "Master, he is..."

  "You've been following me for almost two years, you should have heard of my husband, right?" She reached out to pull up the quilt on the middle-aged man in bed, and with this movement, the man in bed woke up, looking at Ye Shuang sitting on the edge of the bed, revealing a faint smile, opening his mouth, but unable to speak.

  "How are you today? Feeling any better?" Ye Shuang grasped his hand, a bony hand wrapped in skin, every time she held such a hand, she thought of the kind of security and happiness that this big hand had brought her when it used to hold hers. Now...

  Xia Xue stared blankly at the scene, their way of interacting with each other, and that middle-aged man's faint smile, inexplicably making her nose sour. She didn't think she would bring her to see Shifu, having heard from some disciples over the past two years that Shifu's body was very weak, but Shifu and Shifu were very loving, except for guiding disciples in their daily practice, Shifu was always by Shifu's side. And it was precisely because of this that she would meet Shifu again, just because Shifu had gone down the mountain to find medicine for Shifu, but she didn't know that Shifu was actually like this...

  "She is the female disciple I mentioned to you, Xia Xue. She has a variant spiritual root of electric attribute. Today, I brought her to see you." Ye Shuang said to the man on the bed.

  Xia Xue stepped forward a few steps, came to the bedside, bowed and called out: "Xia Xue has seen Master." Seeing him, although he couldn't move or speak, he revealed a faint smile. Seeing this faint smile, her heart was pained, is this really Master's husband? She had always thought that Master was just in poor health, but didn't expect it to be like this...

  Ye Shuang turned around and looked at Xia Xue, saying: "Ten years ago, when his strength was at its peak, he suddenly lost the ability to move or speak overnight, but his mind was still clear. I invited many alchemists and doctors to treat him, but none of them were effective. I had already given up, thinking that it would be like this forever! With me by his side, it didn't matter. However, a few days ago, his body took a turn for the worse, with frequent muscle spasms in his hands and feet. The alchemists couldn't do anything about it, and no medicine could cure him. I mentioned this to the sect leader, and he suggested that I find Ghost Hand Heaven's Doctor Tang Xin, maybe she can treat him. Thinking that she might be able to restore that young master from the Huahua family, I decided to give it a try, so..."

  She took a deep breath, calming the anxiety in her heart, and began to speak: "Master, don't worry, my mistress's medical skills are really good. The young master of the Flower family, Hua Fei Hua, was also initially rejected by alchemists and doctors, who said he couldn't be cured. But my mistress healed him in just half a month. Although I don't know if Master's condition is similar to Young Master Hua's, as long as we can find my mistress, there will still be a chance for recovery. It's just that... after Xiangping City, she disappeared again and there's no news of her whereabouts." As she spoke, she felt a deep sense of worry in her heart. On the way back, she had thought it over repeatedly, and the only possibility was that her mistress had disguised herself as someone else and was hiding somewhere. But where? Where could she be?

  Ye Shuang looked at her and said, "I heard that she doesn't easily help people with medical treatment. However, Xiaoxue, if you find her, please notify me immediately, no matter what the cost is, I want to try it out."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Xue smiled slightly: "Master, although Miss and I are nominally mistress and servant, we are as close as sisters. As long as we can find Miss, she will certainly not refuse. There's no need to mention the reward; if she is willing to save her, she will definitely do so. If she is unwilling, no one else can force her."

  She nodded, but the worry in her eyes still existed: "Hearing you say that, I'm also more at ease. I've already had someone looking into her whereabouts. If there's any news, I'll let you know right away." Although it's unclear how much of a chance she'll have to recover, trying will allow her to be at peace.

  No one knows the feeling of being in a state of panic and fear, chaos and helplessness, unease and worry when a loved one is lingering at the gates of death, for fear that one day he will quietly leave this world and forever leave her side.

  He is her husband, her sky, her reliance. Although she is the master of a peak and can also stand alone, she still has moments of anxiety and unease. When she's tired, coming to his side calms her heart. He is her haven, the support of her soul, the pillar of her faith. If he were really gone, she would truly not know what to do with herself...

  Looking at the sorrow that lingered on her body, and the smile that still forced itself to appear in front of him despite the suppressed sadness and worry, was so gentle, a gentleness she had never seen before. It made her heart feel sour, as if something was choking her, making even breathing feel heavy.

  She secretly made up her mind to find the young lady as soon as possible and ask her to treat Master Shi, believing that there was nothing that the young lady's medical skills couldn't cure.

  Thinking back to the time when Xiaoyu was in her arms, thinking about her powerless hands hanging down and her eyes that would forever be closed. At that moment, she had hoped that she could have the power to bring people back from the dead, to save Xiaoyu. But she didn't, nor did the young lady at the time. All they could do was stare blankly as Xiaoyu's eyes closed forever, living on in their hearts. That pain has always been there, and every time she thinks about it, it still hurts, just like when she thinks of Young Master...

  Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall, she hastily turned around and said: "Master, I'll be going first, don't worry, I will definitely find Miss, and Master will definitely get better!" After finishing speaking, she quickly walked out, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to hold back her tears.

  She stepped outside and gazed up at the azure sky, thinking of Young Master's face that would crease into a thin line when he smiled, thinking of how he'd always bring her treats whenever he came back from going out, thinking of how he'd always smile and call her Little Snow... all of which would never happen again, forevermore.

  Digression

  Recently, things at home have been so busy that I'm overwhelmed, and my mood has also been unusually heavy. I had planned to take a few days off, but I endured it instead. Recently, I estimate that I can only update 5,000 words. I saw your comments, but I can only reply after a few days. The current chapter was uploaded in advance after squeezing out time to code, so there's no need to rush for updates because I currently can't do more updates.
