Chapter 856: Strange illness Little Seven wooshed off her seat as she held onto her hand, asking, “Are we going out of the sect?” “Yeah, we’re going to settle some things. I want you to come with me.” Sima You Yue said. “Weren’t we fine before? Why do you suddenly have to go and do something?” Tang Yang said, “Why don’t you take me too?” “You’re not cute like Little Seven, neither are you powerful like she is. Why would I bring you along?” Sima You Yue ruthlessly attacked this narcissistic and clingy guy. After speaking, she ignored his pouting expression as she held on to Little Seven and left. Big Wei and Little Wei saw her and were wondering why she didn’t’ participate in the billboard ranking competition. It was only after clarifying it with her that they let her out. The moment they left the gates, Little Seven asked, “Did that Shi Qian guy come back again.” “Yeah, he’s here. He’s looking for us at Memory Restaurant.” Sima You Yue said, “The others who were at the divine devil valley sent word to me. They told me that they have news about Master.” “So are we going to the Divine Devil Valley’s shop first or to the Memory Restaurant to look for Shi Qian Zhi to see what kind of person he brought back?” Little Seven asked. “We’ll look for Shi Qian Zhi first.” Sima You Yue said, “We’ll talk again once we find out what’s going on.” “Alright.” They headed right to Memory Restaurant, and when the manager saw her, he immediately went up to greet her. “Which room is Shi Qian Zhi staying in?” Sima You Yue asked. “Moonlight Level, third Sky Room.” The manager replied, “He said that he would be waiting here for you the entire time and to look for him immediately once you arrived.” “I got it, you can go ahead.” Sima You Yue said to the manager. She led Little Seven to the Moonlight level and came to the room in the corner of level 3. Even before she knocked on the door, it swung open. “You guys came rather quickly.” Shi Qian Zhi’s voice came in from outside, “Close the door behind you.” Sima You Yue and Little Seven entered. They noticed that the originally spacious room had already been modified. The inside of the house along with the door outside had been covered with black cloth such that the entire room appeared pitch black. “Why did you turn the room into this state?” Sima You Yue asked, a little puzzled. “You’ll know once you come in.” Shi Qian Zhi’s voice carried over from inside. Sima You Yue and Little Seven exchanged glances before walking into the room together. After pulling the black cloth away, what they saw was really an unforgettable scene. A giant black cloth covered the entire room. The inside of it was wrapped tightly in three layers. Not a single bit of light could make its way in. One of them was a tiny little person whose entire skin was festering. It was as if you couldn’t see the facial features of the person lying on the bed, and he would occasionally cry out in pain. Shi Qian Zhi sat on a stool by the side. His gaze was filled with deep pain as he looked at the person lying on the bed. “This is the person you want to save?” Sima You Yue asked as she walked over. “Don’t you think it’s gross?” Shi Qian Zhi raised his head. Sima You Yue shook her head, “For people who have walked past death’s door, there’s nothing they’ll see that will scare them. Especially for someone so small. The only thing I feel is pity. I don’t think it’s gross.” Shi Qian Zhi didn’t think he would hear an answer like that as he was taken aback, “You truly are like he said, very unique.” The ‘he’ he was referring to was naturally Jiang Jun Xian. “Who is she? How did this happen?” 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 “This is my younger sister, Shi Qiu Shuang. She used to be fresh, clean and cute. She was similar to others.” Shi Qian Zhi siad. “Then how did she end up like this?” Little Seven asked. “She went to a place, and I don’t know what she experienced there, but then she started to become smaller, slowly turning into a young kid. “Our poison master has thought of many ways, but he was unable to figure out what was wrong with her. Her body has started to decay in recent years, and she has now become like this.” “Is she not a child?” Little Seven thought that she looked to be the same age as she appeared, and that she wasn’t too far off. “Nope.” Shi Qian Zhi shook his head, “She’s even older than Jiang Jun Xian.” “So you’re saying that she’s an average person?” Sima You Yue said. “Yes.” “I’m rather curious about her identity. Who is she that she will be able to mobilize an entire inner assassin organisation. Putting aside the fact that you’ll give up your pursuit of Little Seven, you’re even willing to ensure our safety.” Sima You Yue said, “If I don’t clarify this point, I’m afraid of being deceived.” “…” Shi Qian Zhi looked at her speechlessly. Was there anyone more straightforward than she was? “She is Master’s only daughter. She has always been the apple of his eye, ever since she was young. He pampered and treasured her to no end. In the eyes of my master, Little Seven cannot compare to her at all.” Shi Qian Zhi saw that Sima You Yue was still unconvinced so he added on, “My Master is our palace master.” “Did your poison master come with you?” “He’s gone to look at some tarpaulin material.” Shi Qian Zhi said, “We have to ensure that light cannot enter here at all. The moment Junior Sister touches sunlight, her entire body is racked with pain. This was why we said earlier on that we had no way to bring her here.” “I’m going to examine her.” Sima You Yue said. “Be careful. The slightest touch brings her pain.” Shi Qian Zhi warned. “I understand.” Sima You Yue walked to the bed and saw her suffering, sighed, “Such a strong woman!” Shi Qiu Shuang opened her eyes. She thought that she would see a pair of apathetic eyes filled with hatred because apart from her father and senior, the others in the sect would say with their lips that the young mis was pitiful, but their eyes would seeth hatred. However, in the pair of eyes before her, she only saw empathy and concentration. She didn’t hate her, but she didn’t pity her either! Sima You Yue suddenly saw the pair hate-filled of eyes and was stunned. She subconsciously explained, “Young Miss Shi, I am helping to examine your condition.” “You’re a doctor?” Shi Qiu Shuang’s voice was raspy. “Yes. I’ve been studying at Heavenly Sect for a few years.” Sima You Yue replied. “Even Poison Master has no idea…” “He may not have one, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t either.” Sima You Yue said, “Of course, I’ll only know for sure once I’ve examined your body. I just want to see which method it is that requires Little Seven to act as the medicine!” She seemed to have recalled something as she lifted her head to look at Shi Qian Zhi, asking, “Didn’t you say that Little Seven would be able to save her? Why did you say that there’s no cure?” “He said that, with Little Seven, a little of Junior Sister’s pain would be alleviated.” Shi Qian Zhi said. Sima You Yue only now turned around and said, “I’m going to take your pulse first.” Shi Qiu Shuang stretched forth a hand. Right now, there was not a single piece of skin on her hand that was intact. It all seemed to have rotted off, and was even leaking pus. However, it was as if Sima You Yue didn’t see anything as she casually placed her hand on it. “SS-” The excruciating pain caused her to hiss out loud. “I have to examine you. Otherwise, I won’t be able to find a cure for you if I am unclear of your situation. It will be a little painful, please bear with it.” Sima You Yue subconsciously took her as a child when she saw how small her body was.
