Chapter 766: Seven hundred sixty-six, how dare you be rude to the young lady!
Sigh...
Yun Xiao’s thoughts spun rapidly in his heart, and Hu Ying’er approached just as swiftly. As soon as his words had fallen, a thin arm was already mere feet away from him, to the extent that he could even see the faint cold light emanating from those sharp nails.
"Hey, Great Elder, are you just going to watch?"
Seeing the Hu Family’s Great Elder beside him seemingly stupefied, Yun Xiao’s figure flashed, moving behind him, and he then shouted loudly. At this moment, he had not yet returned to his peak condition and naturally did not want to aggravate his injuries by getting involved.
"Ah... Oh!"
Jolted by Yun Xiao’s shout, Hu Yuqing finally came to his senses. Seeing Hu Ying’er’s arm extremely close to him, he stretched out his hand directly and accurately clamped onto that slender arm.
"Ying’er, calm down!"
Although he had clamped Hu Ying’er’s arm, Hu Yuqing, who dearly loved his niece, did not exert much force, and his tone was very gentle.
Pfft!
However, just then, a figure suddenly darted out from behind Hu Yuqing and swiftly circled to Hu Ying’er’s back, raising his hands high and heavily striking her on the back.
"Ahh!"
Such a heavy hit caused Hu Ying’er’s body to tremble violently, then the red light in her eyes dissipated, her fingernails retracted abruptly, and she eventually collapsed limply.
"Boy, what are you doing?"
Seeing his precious niece knocked unconscious by this young man, Hu Yuqing was truly furious. This niece was the apple of his and his brother’s eye, his heart’s treasure, whom he himself would not even dare to scold, let alone hit. How could this young man not know how to cherish and be tender to a lady?
"How else could I control her Double Flower Pure Lotus Body?"
Yun Xiao completely disregarded the furious glares from Hu Yuqing, and his response caused the latter’s angry expression to instantly vanish, replaced by intense excitement.
"You... you mean you can control Ying’er’s this... this Double Flower Pure Lotus Body?"
Hu Yuqing was ecstatic. It was known that even when the former Hu Family Head, his elder brother, was alive and had summoned many Meridian Masters, none could do anything about Hu Ying’er’s condition, indicating how stubborn it was.
But this young man named Xingchen could not only tell that Hu Ying’er possessed the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body constitution, but it also seemed he had some means to control it, how could Hu Yuqing not be overjoyed?
"Control? You’re thinking too much. With my current methods, I can only roughly control it!"
Yun Xiao raised his head, glanced indifferently at Hu Yuqing, recalling his past life’s knowledge about the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, and slightly shook his head. However, this statement alone was enough to fill Hu Yuqing with joy.
That unknowingly explosive violent side, had always made the Hu Family members extremely cautious, for fear of encountering the young lady’s outbursts. They couldn’t strike back, and if someone got killed by her, wouldn’t that be an extreme injustice?
If this young man could control his precious niece’s condition and prevent her from erupting unpredictably at any time, that would already be an unexpected joy.
"Then get on with it!"
Thinking thus, Hu Yuqing couldn’t help but become a bit impatient. This had been his elder brother’s wish for over a decade, so he urged him directly. But the next moment, when he looked up, what he saw was a face with a half-smile.
"Why? Great Elder, do you no longer suspect that I am a spy sent by the Yang Family? Are you not afraid that I might take the opportunity to save her but secretly harm your young lady?"
Yun Xiao stared at Hu Yuqing, said these words, making the latter’s face instantly turn quite embarrassed, also realizing that he had indeed made a big blunder. This young man called Xingchen was not a spy sent by the Yang Family at all.
If Yun Xiao were truly a spy from the Yang Family, how could he possibly say such things at this time? Wouldn’t that be reminding Hu Yuqing to be wary of him? By taking this opportunity to control Hu Ying’er, all might be lost.
"Xingchen... young man, I was reckless earlier, please do not take it to heart, please save Ying’er!"
It must be said that this Hu Family’s Great Elder was quite forthright. Knowing that he had misjudged, he immediately apologized. This attitude also eased some of Yun Xiao’s displeasure.
Moreover, even if other members of the Hu Family were fierce towards him, at least his conversation with Hu Ying’er last night had greatly endeared her to him. Even if Hu Yuqing didn’t apologize, he would never stand idly by.
Perhaps Yun Xiao preferred Hu Ying’er’s gentle and fragile side. Just earlier, when the other personality of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body erupted, it carried a strong malevolent aura, making him quite uncomfortable.
"Fine, you stay outside and make sure no one disturbs me!"
Yun Xiao waved his hand, helped Hu Ying’er up from the ground, and then headed straight for her tent without looking back. Witnessing this scene, Hu Yuqing suddenly felt an unusual sensation surge within him.
How had the young star, once under his control, suddenly seemed to take the lead? Moreover, walking Hu Ying’er into her tent seemed somewhat inappropriate.
Fortunately, when Hu Ying’er had her outburst just now, she had torn the tent’s curtain, allowing Hu Yuqing to see clearly inside, so he did not follow them in.
"Great Elder!"
After Yun Xiao helped Hu Ying’er into the tent, several figures swept in from the perimeter. It was Hong Liu and his team, who had been on guard. Seeing him glance in a certain direction, they first respectfully called out, then suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that the young miss is having an attack again?"
As the last to follow the Hu Family guard leader, Hong Liu had some understanding of the matter. His face immediately showed a trace of worry, as he didn’t know whether such an attack was good or bad?
"Hmm!"
Hu Yuqing was still somewhat dazed, while Hong Liu, following his gaze into Hu Ying’er’s tent, had his face change drastically the next moment. He was startled to see a slightly familiar figure reaching out, seemingly probing the body of the young miss.
"How dare this brazen thief disrespect the young miss!"
At this moment, Hong Liu didn’t consider why the Great Elder would allow that youth named Star to enter the young miss’s tent and directly shouted out, with a strong Meridian Qi surging through him.
Perhaps Yun Xiao was right earlier; Hong Liu did harbor some unusual feelings towards the Miss Hu, though they were not vile, just purely not wanting to see her mistreated.
In Hong Liu’s heart, the young miss was sacred and inviolable. Against the fierce thugs of the Yang Family, he didn’t have many options due to the power dynamics, but now, even a mere youth in the early stages of the Spirit Vein Realm dared to do such a thing, his heart was instantly filled with endless killing intent.
"Hong Liu, calm yourself!"
Just as Hong Liu couldn’t help but want to enter the tent and kill that youth, a voice suddenly rang in his ear. He then felt a hand press on his shoulder, rendering him immobile.
"Great Elder, how could you..."
At this moment, Hong Liu finally began to realize something. He turned his head to look at Hu Yuqing in confusion, wondering if this was still the Hu Family Great Elder. How could he watch his niece being bullied and remain indifferent?
"Brother Star is treating Ying’er’s illness, don’t disturb them!"
For some reason, as Hu Yuqing said these words, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart. Why did he trust this mere youth in the early stages of the Spirit Vein Realm so much?
"Treat... treat an illness?!"
As explained by Hu Yuqing, Hong Liu’s mind finally calmed a bit. He gasped heavily a few times and then said somewhat incredulously, "Even the Earth-rank Meridian Refining Masters are helpless, could this youth possibly manage?"
"Whether he can or not, at least he has recognized what illness the young miss has contracted. Just this insight, I’m afraid, is beyond what those Earth-rank Meridian Refining Masters could achieve!"
Hu Yuqing himself was not entirely confident, but his words seemed both an explanation to Hong Liu and an encouragement to himself, yet they were also the truth.
You should know that even those Earth Rank Low Level Meridian Masters, and even a Middle Level Meridian Master invited by the Hu Family Head previously, ultimately couldn’t figure out what exactly was ailing Hu Ying’er, let alone treat her.
At this dire time for the Hu Family, Yun Xiao recognizing the constitution of the ’Double Flower Pure Lotus Body’ undoubtedly gave Hu Yuqing a glimmer of hope. No matter how faint this hope was, he could not possibly give up.
Thus, led by Hu Yuqing, the people of the Hu Family just stared dumbfounded through the torn curtain, watching the young man inside poking and prodding Hu Ying’er’s body, their expressions somewhat twisted.
Having entered the tent, Yun Xiao didn’t have so many thoughts; at this moment, he had already targeted several major acupoints on Hu Ying’er’s body to stabilize her condition within a controllable range before starting to exercise his real techniques.
Whoo...
Yun Xiao raised his hand, touched his brow, and then an immense invisible force burst forth from there, invisible to the naked eye.
Clearly, this was the Soul Power of Yun Xiao, who had reached the peak of the Advanced Spiritual Rank. To control the ’Double Flower Pure Lotus Body’, he ultimately needed to start from the Soul, since personality changes are determined by the soul.
This formless yet immense power swept out, making Hu Yuqing and others standing outside the tent feel a certain pressure. They exchanged glances, seemingly beginning to understand something.
"It seems that the youth named Star is indeed a Meridian Refining Master!"
Such immense soul power flashed through Hu Yuqing’s mind, giving him more confidence in the young man’s ability to control Hu Ying’er’s ’Double Flower Pure Lotus Body’. At least this Soul Power was not as unreliable as his apparent cultivation level in the Spirit Vein Realm might suggest.
