Chapter 2113: Depleting Vitality

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Xi Er Ni was surprised when she saw her elder brother.

There was dust on the clothes and stubble on the chin. He looked extremely dishevelled and there was no semblance of the previous image at all.

“What happened to Xiao Ling?” Xi Er Mo asked.

“I don’t know what happened, he suddenly fell ill, and his vitality started depleting. We called a lot of Doctors and Alchemists, but they couldn’t see anything. Only one doctor said that he was depressed, and lost the enthusiasm in life.” Xi Er Ni wiped the tears in her eyes and said, “Elder Brother, can you have a look and see what happened to him?”

Xi Er Mo didn’t like to see women crying, even if this person was his own sister. He responded casually and went directly to Xiao Ling’s courtyard.

Xiao Ling was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion and dull eyes. In just two months, he had become skinny and looked a little scary.

When he saw Xi Er Mo, he called out Uncle weakly.

Xi Er Mo went to check on him, and didn’t say anything after that, just glanced at him lightly.

“Elder Brother, how is Ling’er?” Xi Er Ni looked at him nervously.

Xiao Ling also stared at him nervously, not knowing what he would say.

“I can’t see anything for the time being.” As soon as Xi Er Mo’s words came out, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Tell me everything that he has experienced during this time.”

Xi Er Ni told Xiao Ling that Xiao Ling was no longer obsessed with cooking, and that he devoted himself to managing the family matters, and then said: “I found out some time ago, he hasn’t laughed for a long time, and he looks like a walking dead. Then he suddenly fell ill. The people he was looking for couldn’t do anything, and if you don’t even know how to help him, what should we do?!”

As she spoke, she began to cry again.

Xi Er Mo frowned impatiently and said, “You guys go out first, I have something to ask him alone.”

Xi Er Ni and the others didn’t dare to go against his will, so everyone went out.

Xi Er Mo casually arranged a barrier, then poured himself a cup of tea, sat at the table and said quietly, “Sima You Yue’s idea?”

“Yes.” Xiao Ling stopped pretending at this time, sat up and looked at him.

“I knew you couldn’t come up with such an idea. Did she give it?”

“Yes.”

The medicine Sima You Yue gave didn’t do any harm to the body. Although it would make the body thinner, it wouldn’t hurt the Qi and blood cultivation, and most people couldn’t see it.

“Aren’t you afraid that it won’t work if you toss so much?”

“It’s better to try than not to try, what if it works?! So don’t I need your help now, Uncle?”

“Tell me how you want me to help you.”

Sima You Yue knew the news of Xi Er Mo’s return and wanted to find him, but she held back when she thought about Xiao Ling. She thought it would take him a few days to help Xiao Ling, but she didn’t expect to see him in the same afternoon the day he came back.

Along with him were those people she didn’t want to see.

“Young Miss You Yue, my brother-in-law said that your medical skills are very good, please save my son!” Xiao Ling’s Father immediately pleaded upon seeing Sima You Yue.

Xi Er Ni, who was on the side, didn’t speak. Seeing that she was still a little uncomfortable, she subconsciously turned her face to one side.

“What’s the matter with you?” This was said to Xi Er Ni and the others, but she was looking at Xi Er Mo and Xiao Ling who was carried in.

How did you find her here? This was not a step in their plan. Shouldn’t Xi Er Mo come back and let them agree with Xiao Ling to continue cooking, should Xiao Ling get better? Why did people bring it directly to her right now?

“My son is seriously ill. My brother-in-law said that your medical skills are very good, so we want to ask you to save him.” Xiao Ling’s Father said.

When Sima You Yue saw that Xi Er Mo didn’t plan to say anything, she nodded and said, “Then I’ll give it a try! But it may not be possible. Let’s look at him first.”

She pretended to check on Xiao Ling, then shook her head helplessly, and said, “He needs a doctor for the heart, there’s nothing that I can do here.”

But the Xiao Clan thought she was capable. They didn’t tell her anything and with just the pulse , she knew it was a heart knot, which showed her superb medical skills.

“You can find the cause at once, you must have a way to save him! You save him, we can give you anything you want!” Xi Er Ni said with a strong attitude.

“It’s not that I don’t want to help him, I really can’t.” Sima You Yue said, “I know you have always been against him cooking, I told you that if you want to save him, you can only follow his will, then would you agree to let him cook?”

“This…” The Xiao Clan hesitated.

“There’s no way to make his health better? Isn’t your medical skills so good? Or is your fame just for show?!” Xi Er Ni retorted.

“I don’t need to prove to you my medical skills. If you have a solution, do you still need to come to me?” Sima You Yue sarcastically said.

“You Yue.” Xi Er Mo called her name.

Sima You Yue glanced at him and said, “It has nothing to do with my medical skills. Even if I cure him today, he will still be like this tomorrow. It’s just another round of pain. If he died so directly, he would suffer less pain. After all, the Xiao Clan would not agree for him to continue cooking. In that case, why should we bother?”

“This…” Xiao Ling’s Father looked at Xi Er Mo and wanted to hear his opinion.

“No one in this world can save him except her,” Xi Er Mo said.

“Is there no other choice?”

Either die or let him do what he wants to do.

“I don’t have it here, but you can go to other Doctors and ask, maybe they can do anything.” Sima You Yue’s meaning is obvious, if they don’t agree, they can only watch him die. She wouldn’t do useless work anyway.

“You guys carry him back, make a decision, and then think about what to do.” Xi Er Mo said to the Xiao Clan. Then he turned his head and asked her, “I heard that you have something to do with me?”

“Yes.” Sima You Yue said, “I want to talk to you alone if it is convenient.”

“Sure.”

Xi Er Mo and Sima You Yue left. The Xiao Clan looked at the thin Xiao Ling and couldn’t come up with an idea for a while.

“Bring him back first and we’ll talk about it after the negotiation comes out.” Xiao Ling’s Father spoke, and the others just followed suit.

Xi Er Mo and Sima You Yue went to the pavilion in the backyard, and Sima You Yue made a pot of tea for him.

Sima You Yue thought he would ask about Xiao Ling, but she didn’t expect him to come up and say directly, “Tell me, what is your business with me?”

Sima You Yue didn’t beat around the bush, she directly explained her intentions: “I want to see Mu Lan, and would like you to help me.”
