Chapter 1203

Qin Yutong lightly moved her lotus steps to the other side of the bed, placed her hand on the pulse point of the shadow warrior's left hand, and calmly said, "Why does Doctor Yang say that? Are you saying I misdiagnosed the condition and delayed the sir's treatment?" A gentle inner qi flowed along the shadow warrior's meridians into his body; if Yang Fanxu's inner qi were like the icy cold wind of the twelfth month, piercing to the bone, then the inner qi Qin Yutong now sent in was like spring wind bringing warmth. The two different inner qi probed each other inside the shadow warrior's body, yet neither exerted full force.

Compared to that, Qin Yutong's apprehension is greater; if Yang Fanxu exerts force, this shadow warrior will surely face the fate of his meridians being severed.

Yang Fanxu gave a sinister chuckle and said, "Sir Hu's illness is a heart ailment; a heart ailment still needs heart medicine."

"I don't know what heart medicine Doctor Yang is referring to."

Yang Fanxu said, "It can only be understood intuitively, not expressed in words!"

Su Yuchi smiled and said, "It seems Miss Qin still lacks confidence in Doctor Yang's medical skill!"

Yang Fanxu said, "Being concerned leads to confusion; a true physician sees the patient only as a patient, and must not mix any emotion into the treatment, otherwise it will inevitably affect his judgment of the condition."

Qin Yutong said, "Doctor Yang, your opinion is lofty, but I believe a physician must first achieve inner stillness like still water, remain unmoved by poverty and unswayed by wealth, and never change the original intention to heal and save lives under any circumstances; that is the true nature of a physician."

The two inner qi barely touched each other in the shadow warrior's meridians and immediately recoiled; even so, the shockwave from their collision still made his chest feel suffocated, his chest swelling as if about to burst.

Yang Fanxu smiled and said, "A single conversation with Miss Qin is worth ten years of reading."

Qin Yutong said, "If Doctor Yang is interested, I can still teach you more of a physician's principles in the future."

Yang Fanxu laughed hehe, the two chatted happily, yet everyone present was tense to the extreme.

Su Yuchi glanced at Liang Da Zhuang and found him calm as usual. He couldn't help but inwardly sigh, the retainers of Hu Xiaotian are indeed extraordinary; even a lowly servant possesses such composure. Looking again at Weisa, she happened to be looking at him as well, her eyes like green jewels, clear yet unfathomably mysterious. Su Yuchi felt his gaze drawn deep into them, his heart suddenly startled, he hastily inhaled, only managing to avert his gaze elsewhere, his back already breaking out in cold sweat; he never expected this beautiful maid to be an expert in soul-capturing technique.

Weisa saw that her effort had failed miserably; she felt great regret, blaming only her shallow cultivation of soul-capturing technique. In fact she need not be so disheartened, for Su Yuchi is a famed general of Dakang, not only skilled in campaigning and combat but also possessing superior martial arts, his temperament moreover persevering; moreover, he already understood soul-capturing technique, so when Weisa just tried to control his mind, he had already detected it.

Qin Yutong said, "Has Doctor Yang finished taking the pulse?"

Yang Fanxu laughed and said, "Miss Qin seems a bit nervous!"

Qin Yutong smiled and said, "It concerns the reputation of my school; some nervousness is natural." She answered appropriately, and was also hinting to Yang Fanxu not to forget that she is a disciple of Ren Tianqing of Xuantian Guan; slandering Qin Yutong's medical skill is tantamount to opposing the entire Xuantian Guan.

Yang Fanxu said, "If it were me, I would also be nervous!" Yet his inner force silently exhaled; at that moment the shadow warrior's mouth suddenly opened, and he felt an extremely cold and yin current surge through his body.

Qin Yutong's palm turned cold. She felt a chilling breath pass through the shadow warrior's body into her meridians; half her body felt as if plunged into an ice cave, her heart sank, realizing the opponent could actually achieve long-distance injury, and at this point it was already too late for her to let go.

Yang Fanxu slowly released the shadow warrior's pulse point, smiled and said, "Sir Hu, do you feel any better?"

The shadow warrior lay there dazed, his eyes wide open, already scared witless; although he didn't know exactly what had just happened, he understood he had just walked around the gates of hell.

Su Yuchi smiled and said, "How is it?"

Yang Fanxu said, "As Miss Qin said, Sir Hu should have no serious trouble; with rest he will soon improve."

Su Yuchi rose, his gaze fixed on Hu Xiaotian on the bed, and said, "Sir Hu, the Emperor is deeply concerned about your condition; he has sent me to tell you that Sir Hu is a pillar of the state, the hope for Dakang's revival—please take good care of your health." After saying this, he clasped his fists in farewell, saying, "I, Su, still have military duties; I take my leave first!"

The shadow warrior on the bed stared blankly at Su Yuchi, even forgetting to return the salute; Su Yuchi inwardly concluded this person must be an impostor, secretly sneering, Hu Xiaotian could not have built such a foundation if he were ordinary; judging by the man before him, even without Yang Fanxu's intervention, Su Yuchi himself could see he was certainly not the real Hu Xiaotian.

Weisa gave Liang Da Zhuang a glance.

Liang Da Zhuang laughed and said, "See off General Su respectfully!"

Su Yuchi turned and left, Yang Fanxu quickly followed behind him; seeing the two depart, Weisa finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then saw Qin Yutong's delicate body trembling, on the verge of collapsing; she hurried forward to support her, feeling the intense chill emanating from her, and exclaimed, "Miss Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yutong bit her cherry lips, her teeth chattering as she said, "It's nothing; first make sure… they've left…"

Just then, a smell of fireworks suddenly came from outside, and someone cried out, "Fire!"

Liang Da Zhuang had just seen Su Yuchi and the other leave the courtyard when he saw thick smoke rolling inside, several rooms igniting simultaneously; this fire broke out without warning, and in a short time even the room where Hu Xiaotian lived was engulfed in flames.

Liang Da Zhuang had no time to explain, he turned and rushed into the compound; Su Yuchi and Yang Fanxu exchanged a knowing smile, then followed him inside, and Su Yuchi shouted loudly, "Come help put out the fire!"

The fire here quickly drew all the manor's personnel; as Liang Da Zhuang rushed into the room, he saw Weisa and Qin Yutong helping the shadow warrior up from the bed, and just as he was about to lend a hand, someone darted in from beside him, snatched the shadow warrior away before him—it was Doctor Yang Fanxu, who loudly said, "Come with me and rush out."

Liang Da Zhuang saw the shadow warrior under Yang Fanxu's control, inwardly thought it was not good; the thick smoke prevented him from taking the person from Yang Fanxu's grasp for a moment, so he could only shield Weisa and Qin Yutong as they first fled the burning house to the compound.

Yang Fanxu brought Hu Xiaotian to the courtyard and threw him straight at Su Yuchi's feet, having already judged him an impostor, so he acted without restraint.

The shadow warrior fell heavily to the ground, clutching his waist and crying out, "Damn! Are you trying to kill me?"

Yang Fanxu fixed his eyes on the shadow warrior's eyes, smiling narrowly, and said, "You finally dare to speak the truth—who are you, and who told you to impersonate Sir Hu?" His eyes shone with an unusual luster.

The shadow warrior rubbed his buttocks and slowly rose from the ground, looking bewildered at Yang Fanxu and said, "Of course it was Sir Hu who told me to impersonate Sir Hu."

Su Yuchi's face broke into a satisfied smile; just moments ago he was feigning illness, but a fire exposed him completely—Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, you actually had someone impersonate you, pretending to be sick to deceive the Emperor; this is a crime of deceiving the sovereign.

Yang Fanxu said, "What is your name?"

At this moment Liang Da Zhuang had shielded Qin Yutong and Weisa as they escaped, and he exclaimed, "Young master, are you all right?" Two of Su Yuchi's attendants blocked them, separating them from Hu Xiaotian.

The shadow warrior seemed not to have heard his words, staring blankly at Yang Fanxu and said, "I… I… what is my name?"

Yang Fanxu said triumphantly, "Exactly, what is your name?" He believed he had already controlled the other's mind and was step by step coaxing out the truth.

The shadow warrior said, "I… I… I can't remember…"

Yang Fanxu reached out to place his hand again on the opponent's pulse point, saying, "You should remember!" His inner qi silently entered the opponent's meridians, flowing into his body without obstruction.

The shadow warrior seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh! I think I remember now—I… I am Hu Xiaotian…"

Su Yuchi burst into loud laughter at his answer, his eyes fixed on Hu Xiaotian, but his smile instantly faded: "You are definitely not Hu Xiaotian! Speak! Who are you really, and why are you impersonating Sir Hu?" He gave Yang Fanxu a look, indicating that if he didn't give this fellow some hardship, he would surely not tell the truth. Just moments ago he had been feigning illness, pretending to be bedridden, yet now he could actually get up from the ground on his own.

Yang Fanxu's expression at this moment, however, appeared rather strange, for he felt his inner force like a bursting river, continuously pouring into the opponent's body, and his countenance gradually turned to horror: "You… you are…"

The shadow warrior also stared at Yang Fanxu in astonishment: "Didn't I just tell you? I am Hu Xiaotian!"

"You are not…" As soon as Yang Fanxu spoke, he felt his inner force flying outward, even more severely than before; he hastily shut his mouth, struggling desperately against the opponent.

Su Yuchi, however, not knowing what had happened, coldly stared at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Even now you still dare to quibble; you are simply not Hu Xiaotian!"

Liang Da Zhuang, anxious to rush forward, saw Weisa supporting Qin Yutong with concern, asking, "Miss Qin, are you all right?" The two seemed to pay no attention to what was happening with Su Yuchi.

Li Mingcheng only then realized something was wrong, approached Su Yuchi and said, "General Su, why are you saying this?"

Su Yuchi indifferently replied, "You should ask him yourself!"

Hu Xiaotian remained standing there, but Yang Fanxu at this moment could not even stand, his legs went weak and he slowly knelt before Hu Xiaotian; Su Yuchi could hardly believe his eyes—what on earth was happening? Why was Yang Fanxu making him kneel?
