Let Me Treat You

"Who am I?"

Su Yun laughed bitterly: "I am just a hired personnel."

At the moment, the plan had been exposed, and he had nothing to hide.

"Then where is Nan Gong Qing?" Huai Rou Mu Yu asked gently.

"He is with his paramour."

"Paramour?" Huai Rou Mu Yu frowned: "Is that someone he likes?"

"Yes."

"Then why did he hire you to act as him?"

"He wishes to reject the marriage, he does not wish to become cultivation companions with you, because he already has someone he likes, so, he requested me to act as him and make you hate Nan Gong Qing, causing you to reject the marriage on your own end." Su Yun explained honestly.

"Isn't it better to tell it straight to me? If he was not willing, I would not force him either, since I do not have any feelings for him as well." Huai Rou Mu Yu said indifferently.

"Things are not as simple as you think." Su Yun shook his head: "To reject you directly is offending the entire Huai Rou Family and by doing this, we will only offend you. Currently, the Huai Rou Family is very different from the past, where the Nan Gong Family is unable to compete with your family. They are simply just following and obediently listening to the Huai Rou Family, if we were to truly talk things out with you face to face, I am afraid that Nan Gong Qing would become the sinner of both families and the consequence will be dire."

Hearing that, Huai Rou Mu Yu became quiet.

"Since you already saw through us, this fraud here have no reason to continue acting, Miss Huai Rou, tell me about it, do you plan to hand me over to the Nan Gong Family, or do you want to handle me yourself?"

Su Yun laughed helplessly.

Huai Rou Mu Yu shook her head: "Although you are a fraud, I, Huai Rou Mu Yu, am not someone who forgets my benefactors, you saved my life just now, how can I betray you at this time?"

"Then what do you intend to do?"

Huai Rou Mu Yu thought for a moment, then said: "You can continue acting as Nan Gong Qing. When I return to my Huai Rou Family, I will inform my father and my grandfather that I wish to reject this engagement."

"You will tell them everything?" Su Yun asked.

Huai Rou Mu Yu looked gently at the pale face beneath the cape, and seemed to know his fear, then said: "I will simply say that I do not like Nan Gong Qing."

Hearing that, Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief, revealing a bitter smile.

"I will still be staying in the Nan Gong Family for the next few days, there are a few matters that I have to attend to, other than that, I will send people to investigate the ambush."

Huai Rou Mu Yu stood up and looked towards the road.

Just then, many of the Nan Gong Family bodyguards and the experts that came with Huai Rou Mu Yu all rushed over.

"Young Master (Young Miss)! Are you alright."

Their anxious shouts came out at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, everyone were relieved.

Especially for the guards of the Nan Gong Family, they immediately knelt down on the ground, with looks of fear.

Nan Gong Qing's life was secondary, Huai Rou Mu Yu on the other hand, could not be harmed in the slightest, the entire Nan Gong Family would not be spared otherwise.

"We are fine, but Young Master Qing has been injured, quickly send him back to recuperate!"

Huai Rou Mu Yu said.

"Yes!"

The group of them cupped their fists and anxiously supported the two of them.

Su Yun's entire body was covered in mud and he looked to be in terrible shape, but at the moment, no one cared about how he looked.

The house that he was staying at previously was broken down, so Su Yun was brought over to a guesthouse located at the south side.

At the moment, outside of the guesthouse were many bodyguards. After what had happened, all of the Nan Gong Family's bodyguards had been deployed.

A servant walked into the house and started setting up a cleansing array formation to remove the filth off for Su Yun.

"Where is Xiao Cui?" Su Yun who was lying on the bed immediately stopped the servant and asked weakly.

"Xiao Cui was hurt by them, and almost lost her life, she is currently recuperating at the treatment room." The servant called Xiao Fang said.

"This is bad."

Su Yun ma.s.saged his head as though he was in pain.

Without Xiao Cui to service him, how could he remove the filth? Revealing his ident.i.ty would be terrible. In truth he could use the Shapes.h.i.+ft Bonepiece to transform himself into Nan Gong Qing, but at the moment, he already had difficulty moving, much less activate the Shapes.h.i.+ft Bonepiece.

Although he had consumed Huai Rou Mu Yu's medicine, his injuries had not recovered completely. The leader seemed to have possessed some additional power where initially, his attacks were not considered strong, but as time pa.s.sed, his strength seemed to increase.

"Young master, what is wrong? Are you uncomfortable? The spirit doctor is arriving."

The bodyguard at the door saw that Su Yun had a worrying look and thought that he was in pain.

"N-no, it's"

Su Yun sighed again.

Just then, the servant had already completed the small array formation on the ground, and was about to walk over to the bed and extended her hands for Su Yun's robes.

"W-wait a minute." Su Yun immediately grabbed her hand.

"Young master, do you need anything?" The servant was surprised and asked softly.

"I will clean myself up, I do not need anyone to help me." Su Yun immediately turned to prevent the servant from seeing his face, and said weakly: "And I do not need any treatment, send the spirit doctor away, I can recuperate by myself."

"We can't do that." The servant immediately said: "Young master, you are severely injured now, we need to treat you immediately! Otherwise, the filth on you will influence your recovery, please allow this servant to help you disrobe."

Seeing that, Su Yun could only a.s.sume an unyielding role and planned to shout at them.

But right at this moment, a gentle and clear female voice sounded out.

"All of you can retreat, I will treat Young Master Qing."

With those words, everyone turned and look, to see the pale looking Huai Rou Mu Yu standing by the door without anyone knowing when she had arrived.

"Greetings Young Miss Huai Rou."

Everyone greeted.

"All of you can retreat." Huai Rou Mu Yu said gently.

The servant felt awkward: "But young miss, you are our important guest and is precious, this sort of thing…"

"What are you afraid of? I am giving my future husband a wash, what can't I do? Quickly retreat!" Huai Rou Mu Yu's tone became stronger.

Hearing that, how could the servant refute? She immediately retreated.

Very quickly, the house door was closed.

Su Yun looked at Huai Rou Mu Yu in shock, she had actually said such things, he could never expected that.

~Is she the real Huai Rou Mu Yu?~

Su Yun felt confused.

Huai Rou Mu Yu's white face had a flush of red, she turned and walked towards the cleansing formation and activated it with her Profound Spirit Qi and then walked over to Su Yun.

"Why are you doing this?" Su Yun asked weakly.

"You saved me."

Huai Rou Mu Yu extended her hand out and gently pulled on Su Yun's clothes, and pushed them open.

He could feel the refres.h.i.+ngly cold fingers that trembled when they touched his skin, he raised his eyes to look at Huai Rou Mu Yu, and noticed that her always clear and focused eyes was at the moment filled with panic.

She was forcing herself.

"You don't have to do this, I am not weak to this extent, after recuperating for a while, I will be fine." Su Yun said.

"You don't have to force yourself."

~You're the one forcing yourself.~

Su Yun thought.

Huai Rou Mu Yu gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she gently opened her mouth: "I know that you have difficulties, if others were to find out who you are, you will be in danger, so to safeguard your secret, I will help you recover."

With that said, Su Yun's s.h.i.+rt was completely removed.

Bronze muscles were exposed right in front of Huai Rou Mu Yu, causing her heart to beat wildly, disregarding cultivation, Su Yun's body was flawless, and much tougher than other cultivators.

Huai Rou Mu Yu's cultivation was much stronger than Su Yun's, but cultivation was cultivation, ignoring cultivation, Huai Rou Mu Yu was just a naive girl waiting to be married off.

"G-get up." Huai Rou Mu Yu said with a slight tremble.

"Are you not removing my pants?"

"I will come to that" Huai Rou Mu Yu took a deep breath, a look of anger flashed past her eyes.

Su Yun laughed, he got off the bed and walked towards the cleansing formation.

He saw as Huai Rou Mu Yu breathing heavily again, she then extended her white hands and placed them on Su Yun's chest, and closed her eyes.

The cleansing formation activated, the gentle and warm Spirit Qi that resembled spring wind, the dirt on Su Yun's body disappeared into thin air and in time, he was as good as new.

But it was not over yet, Huai Rou Mu Yu raised both of her hands, and like picking flowers, she started to imbue Profound Spirit Qi at different points of Su Yun's body to help him recover.

The array formation was warm for him and moisturized all of his Qi channels, helping him to recover. His dried up Spirit Essences started to work again, his internal injuries gradually turned from pain to numb, new fibers formed to create new muscles, Huai Rou Mu Yu's Spirit Qi was guided by her as it flowed around Su Yun's body, and all the pills that she had given him prior to this started to activate from her Profound Spirit Qi.

"It's almost done, you still have some injuries on your body, let us stop first."

Su Yun could feel the rapid recovery, and immediately stopped Huai Rou Mu Yu's Profound Spirit Qi, when she removed her hands from his chest, he could see a profound fatigue hidden in her eyes.

"Alright." She nodded her head slightly, retrieving out a few pills, she threw them into her mouth and started recovering.

Her pale face recovered some color.

"What exactly happened? Why are there so many experts appearing at the Nan Gong Family?"

Su Yun was fine and started asking.

"I have just received the information from the person in-charge." Huai Rou Mu Yu said: "Maybe the Nan Gong Family has spies inside and these experts have disguised themselves. They may have infiltrated the Nan Gong Family and their target seems to be me. At the start of the chaos, their people just rushed into the Nan Gong Family's place, started killing and creating chaos, leading the experts in the household away and the people who were sneaking around came to find me. The bodyguards I brought with me were all poisoned by them, and was thus unable to come for support."

When she said that, Huai Rou Mu Yu looked at Su Yun with strange eyes: "Come to think of it, you are just a sixth stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator, how did you sense the poison? Even my bodyguards only realized after that."

"I know a thing or two about it." Su Yun laughed, although his cultivation could not be compared to others, but in terms of medical knowledge, he far surpa.s.sed theirs.

Huai Rou Mu Yu nodded her head, and said: "Because my family deals in trade, we have many compet.i.tors and I have experienced many a.s.sa.s.sination attempts, maybe they are just doing it as compet.i.tors. When I return home, I will definitely investigate on this."

"Then how long are you preparing to stay here?" Su Yun asked.

"This…" Huai Rou Mu Yu thought for a while, then said: "Maybe for a while."

Nan Gong Wen Tian

The chaos in the Nan Gong Family had caused an uproar in the entire city and for the entire period of time, the entire Sky Central City was talking about it.

Some people thought that it was done by the enemies of the Huai Rou Family, while there were others that thought it was by the enemies of the Nan Gong Family, with the intent of splitting both families apart by making the Huai Rou Family be furious at the Nan Gong Family, using this powerful blade to eliminate the Nan Gong family.

But regardless of what it was, it pushed the Nan Gong Family into a terrible shape. Nan Gong Hu immediately gathered people to investigate, while the Nan Gong Family's current generation Patriarch, Nan Gong Du Huo and his wife Zhang Zi Yan, were rus.h.i.+ng back to the Nan Gong Family after receiving the news. It was no small matter, if they did not deal with it well, they would offend the Huai Rou Family and cause a disaster to their own.

Of course, whether the matter would end up good or bad did not matter to Su Yun.

Although Huai Rou Mu Yu had seen through his disguise, what he did not expect was that she would not fall out with him. Instead, she made the initiative to act along with Su Yun.

Xiao Cui had not recovered from the severe injuries, and Su Yun was not able to contact Nan Gong Qing at the moment.

~But come to think of it, the matters of the Nan Gong Family has been so intense, how is he not here? Did he not receive anything about it?~

He could only wait for Xiao Cui to recover and look for Nan Gong Qing to quickly get him back.

Of course, Su Yun was not in a rush to leave the Nan Gong Family, the seal array formation behind the sculpture in the forbidden grounds behind Nan Gong Qing's house was extremely beneficial to him.

Su Yun judged that he would not have much time left in the Nan Gong Family, therefore, he prioritised going back to the formation upon recovering and rejected everyone who wanted to visit him with the excuse of recovering.

Behind the sculpture.

The seal beneath his body kept on revolving and a mystical Spirit Qi surged into his body, his talent exploded exponentially and his cultivation and enlightenment were immediately at a profound and miraculous state.

80 times his normal talent.

It was something that not even a Spirit Master Cultivators or Spirit Sky Master Cultivators would ever have.

He greedily used the seal to train, as though he could never get tired, he continued to tackle all the problems that he had with his cultivation.

Of course, if a person wanted to raise his strength, he could not just rely on meditating.

After gaining enlightenment, Su Yun jumped out of the seal formation, stepping on the surface of the swamp, he brandished his swords and danced.

Eight Parts Eight Whole Sword Formation.

Cold Hail Sword Formation.

Seven Ascension Slaughter Sword Formation.

Limitless Sword Arts.

With his extreme state of talent, Su Yun kept on gaining enlightenment and gradually a.n.a.lyzed the essence of each techniques, gaining enlightenment on their quintessences.

This heaven defying talent was something that even the cultivators standing at the peak would desire for.

Sou sou sou sou sou

The swords flew like leaves flying around due to a gale, sets of Sword Qi followed the movements of the swords, which were like white dragons revolving in the air. Wherever the sword tip was at, cold auras would blossom.

"The more Sword Qi is released, the more i exhaust my Spirit Qi, but with the support of the formation and the pills given by Mu Yu, my Spirit Qi has increased."

Su Yun thought, as he focused more on the swords.

His fighting strength started to surge violently, he directly broke through the seventh stage of the Spirit Star Realm and his fighting strength was now 1640.

It felt like a month of training, but Su Yun realized that he actually trained for only a day.

"Young master!"

Just then, a small voice sounded from outside the forbidden grounds.

~Xiao Cui?~

Su Yun who was meditating in the formation opened his eyes, he used the seventh tier imperial equipment and rushed out of the Sword Qi and landed by the side of the lake. He then rushed out of the forbidden grounds.

Outside, he saw Xiao Cui.

She seemed to have slimmed down a lot, her complexion was pale and she looked haggard.

"I hope you're better." Su Yun asked.

"Thank you Young Master for your blessing, Xiao Cui is out of danger."

Xiao Cui bowed towards Su Yun, then said: "Young Master, XIao Cui is here to pa.s.s on a letter."

"Letter? What letter?"

"It is a letter from the Old Master and the Lady, they have already arrived at Fu Chi Valley and will arrive in the manor in the afternoon." Xiao Cui said.

"So fast? Doesn't it Mean that I only have 2 more hours?" Su Yun frowned: "I still thought that they will return in another two days or something, I never thought they would be here so quickly, I can't hold on much longer, Xiao Cui, you better go get Nan Gong Qing back."

"Then what about Miss Huai Rou?" Xiao Cui asked.

"It's been resolved." Su Yun laughed: "Huai Rou Mu Yu will not proceed with the engagement with Nan Gong Qing, don't worry."

Hearing that, Xiao Cui was startled: "Really?"

"I can't explain it to you in detail right now, get Nan Gong Qing back, I will let him know."

"Oh oh, ok then, Young Master Su, I will go get Young Master Qing now."

With that said, Xiao Cui ran back.

~With Nan Gong Qing back, My mission will be over and it's time to start working on reviving Sword Elder.~

Su Yun took a deep breath and headed back into the forbidden grounds.

~Since there is still time, I should use the formation to train, training for two more hours is like training more than 10 hours normally… I doubt I will see such a good thing after leaving this place.~

Su Yun stared at the statue and then headed to the seal formation as per normal. He sat cross legged, closed his eyes and meditated.

The gold rings of light released and entered his body.

With the flow of time, the gold lights gradually dimmed down, and the sensation of enlightenment was not as intense any more.

Su Yun opened his eyes and looked at the formation beneath him, only to see that it was spinning slowly.

Su Yun took a deep breath and continued meditating.

The seal formation had a lifespan, and the thing that was maintaining its form was a sort of energy stone, every time the formation was used, it would consume some of the energy inside the energy stone, even if it was not used, the energy stone would still deplete but at an extremely slow rate.

~Maybe the energy stone is almost empty!~

~But I wonder what kind of energy stone is used to maintain such a miraculous seal formation.~

Su Yun thought, he hesitated for a moment and suddenly stood up and stared at the formation.

"If this seal formation is opened up, will I be able to deploy this miraculous seal formation anywhere at any time?"

Su Yun suddenly thought.

~If I can comprehend this formation seal, doesn't that mean my talent can increase close to a 100 times?~

~How Heaven Defying is that?~

Thinking till this point, Su Yun became extremely excited, he immediately knelt and retrieved the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword. Aiming straight at the center of the formation lines, he cut in.

Nothing happened.

He increased his strength.

Crack.

A crevice appeared.

Cracks started to appear on the formation lines, and the formation immediately stopped working.

Su Yun immediately went p.r.o.ne and activated the Heavenly Scale Divine Eye looking into the crack.

~Wonder what that energy stone is.~

Just at that moment, a red light suddenly erupted from inside the crevice and enveloped him, before Su Yun could react, he was absorbed into the red light and he disappeared from the spot.

Everything happened too suddenly, no one was able to react to such speed!

Bang!!!

A loud thud sounded out.

Su Yun regained his senses and realized that he was not inside the forbidden grounds, his surrounding was dyed a blood red, it seemed to be an independent s.p.a.ce.

"What is going on?"

Su Yun crawled up and looked around, only to see that there was nothing.

Shuffle shuffle.

Just then, footsteps sounded out from behind him, and then he heard him speak.

"After so many years, someone finally came."

Su Yun's senses instantly tensed up, he turned around, and noticed a man with a sword in his hand standing not far away from him.

He was dressed in a blood red blademaster attire, his hair was in a mess with a ponytail tied behind. He looked to be unaffected by it, his expression was indifferent with a sharp gaze, like a pair of swords staring straight at Su Yun.

Su Yun frowned, the man was familiar, but he forgot where he had seen him before.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yun patted his head as he realised!

~Doesn't this mean look like the statue?~

"Who are you?" He asked carefully.

"Nan Gong Wen Tian." The man spoke out.

~Nan Gong Wen Tian? Who's that? Forget it, who cares, I'll just ask him about the situation.~

"Where is this?" Su Yun asked.

"My world. A world in my heart."

"How did I end up in this place?"

"Because you forcefully activated the energy source of the formation seal that I left behind for my Nan Gong descendants, and was absorbed by it and came to my world."

"The energy source of the formation?" Su Yun was startled, he suddenly thought and was shocked: "Could it be that the energy source is…"

"That's right!" Nan Gong Wen Tian nodded his head: "It was my heart."

~The energy source was his heart, that means that this formation is unique and can never be duplicated~

Even if Su Yun had extraordinary means, he could not revive such a formation seal.

But if it was so, then it would explain the multiple folds of powerful talent bestowed to the person who used it, which was most probably Nan Gong Wen Tian's.

"You were able to enter the world in my heart, could it be that you have already used the formation?" Nan Gong Wen Tian asked.

Su Yun nodded his head.

"To be able to force your way into my independent world, you should have some abilities yourself, I have waited here for the Nan Gong Family people for so many years, waiting for someone who was able to use the formation seal, and the day has finally come." Nan Gong Wen Tian looked at Su Yun and said: "After I created that formation seal, anyone who uses it up will be pulled into this place and will receive my teachings, but you are different, you forcefully activated the energy stone and entered this place, although there is some differences, but whatever, alright, let us begin."

"Begin what? Receive your teachings?" Su Yun frowned: "What are you going to teach me?"

"Sword techniques!" Ultimate Martial World's fastest sword!" Nan Gong Wen Tian said indifferently.

"Fastest?" Upon hearing that, Su Yun frowned, he remembered that Feng Ling Sheng's sword was fast, a speed that was due to him being able to control the sword with a thought, but what was fast was his mind, not the sword. Feng Ling Sheng had taught Su Yun plenty, giving Su Yun the knowledge on the enlightenment on a fast sword, but now a man in front of him said he was going to impart to him the fastest sword in the Ultimate Martial World, it felt like shameless words to Su Yun.

"I can see disdain in your eyes, you think that I do not have the qualifications to teach you?" Nan Gong Wen Tian said indifferently.

"This lowly junior does not dare, but senior, how do you know that your sword is the fastest sword in Ultimate Martial World?"

"If I say it is, then it is!"

Nan Gong Wen Tian's expression became serious, he raised his sword and a cold glint of lightning flashed towards Su Yun, this speed could not be described with mere words, but it surprised Su Yun, who immediately used his sword to defend, but he was too late, Nan Gong Wen Tian's sword was right on his neck.

~So fast!~

Su Yun's eyes widened.

~I have placed my sword on your neck for a breath of time, but in this breath of time, I am able to strike your neck more than 738 times, this speed will be able to easily shatter the Divine Qi protecting your body and directly cut off your neck, you are simply too slow!"

Nan Gong Wen Tian placed his sword down and said.

Su Yun frowned, he took a few steps back and raised his hand, releasing a thousand of swords to fly out of the sword sheath. The thousand swords spiralled in the air, it was a majestic scene.

"Senior, you said you are the fastest, then let this junior have a taste of your sword!" Su Yun bellowed.

"Limitless Sword Arts?"

Nan Gong Wen Tian looked at the flying swords surrounding Su Yun with a startled look.
