Sima You Yue stared at Tuoba Han. Tuoba Han returned her gaze. The two of them stared at one another.

“Young Master Sima, how is his situation?” Tuoba Yan Er asked with concern on the side.

Sima You Yue retracted her gaze and smiled at Tuoba Yan Er. “His lumbar vertebrae is injured; he requires several acupuncture treatments. His recovery would be slower if he depended only on pills.”

“Acupuncture treatments? What are those?” Tuoba Yan Er asked.

“It is using needles at acupuncture points to dredge the meridians.” Sima You Yue explained simply.

“I once heard of a Miss Sima from Southern Desolations who has a unique set of silver needle therapy. It is rather effective. Do you and her have the same method?” Mu Lin watched Sima You Yue.

“The world is huge, perhaps it’s the same!” Sima You Yue didn’t affirm.

“Really?” Tuoba Yan Er gazed at Sima You Yue. “Then please perform your acupuncture, alright?”

“This is no problem. The current environment isn’t suitable, why don’t we set up a tent.” Sima You Yue stood up.

“That’s simple.”

Feng Wu Hen, Wang Kai, and Mu Lin worked together. Very soon, they had set up a tent, took out a bed and placed Tuoba Han on it.

Sima You Yue drove everyone outside, leaving only two people alone in a tent. Bei Gong Tang saw her look, such that when she walked out, she told Tuoba Yan Er, “Before you came, we made some good stuff. Do you want to come with us?”

“Good stuff?

“Let’s go, you have just endured a shock. Eat something good, drink some wine, and it’ll allay the shock.” Bei Gong Tang dragged Tuoba Yan Er to the place where they had a barbecue.

Feng Wu Hen and Wang Kai went over when they saw Tuoba Yan Er did so. There was no use staying here anyways.

After everyone outside scattered, Sima You Yue finally sat down on the bed. She removed his outer clothes but wasn’t impatient to start.

“Thank you.” Tuoba Han’s voice carried warmth and was magnetic. A person listening to him could tell he was gentle, very unlike his name.

“What’s there to thank me for?” Sima You Yue took out the needle box and murmured.

“For keeping my secret.” Tuoba Han chuckled.

Sima You Yue smiled. When she gave Tuoba Han a checkup, she understood from his expression. Although she was not at all aware, she discerned a faint request from Tuoba Han’s eyes,hoping that she won’t exposed his physical condition.

“I’m really curious. With your body, why are you here?” She took out a needle and pricked him on a spot above his waist.

“Of course, to continue to live.” Tuoba Han said.

He found it weird. He just got acquainted with Sima You Yue, but he felt familiarity. He would not mind telling her things and subconsciously believed that she would keep them confidential.

His intuition was correct. She didn’t expose his situation and helped him hide it.

“Continue to live? Can you live longer coming here?” Sima You Yue was puzzled. “Tuoba family is humongous. Is there nothing that can fix your problem?”

“If there is, I wouldn’t have come here. Do you think I’m like them, for…” Tuoba Han stopped and didn’t continue.

Sima You Yue plunged a silver needle in, pondering over his words.

It seemed those people from the inner regions’ reason for coming here weren’t simple!

“You’re poisoned?” she asked.

“It passed from my mother’s womb.” Tuoba Han didn’t find this a taboo as he spoke.

Sima You Yue knew large family clans like his had a lot of problems. Previously, she was similar and had been poisoned due from her mother’s womb. She was afraid that she couldn’t cultivate and when she transmigrated, she extracted the poison before she could cultivate.

Perhaps of pity being similarly afflicted, when she inserted the needle, pricking some more before finishing, she said, “I helped you suppress your poison. Take this pill, and your poison won’t act up for half a year.

Tuoba Han glanced at the pill in hand. He didn’t ask much and took the pill.

Sima You Yue saw how quickly he consumed the pill and frowned, “Aren’t you afraid it’s poison?”

“Even if it’s poison, will it be stronger than one in my body?” Tuoba Han moved his body and found his waist didn’t hurt too much. It seemed the acupuncture was really effective!

Sima You Yue examined his appearance. Although he wasn’t extremely handsome, he gave people a comfortable feeling.

“Your medical skill is awesome.” He complimented.

“Genius.” A certain narcissistic person said.

“Hehe.” Tuoba Han laughed. He really wasn’t modest.

Sima You Yue couldn’t discern the message within his laughter. But she couldn’t help it. One can’t say that the experiences were accumulated over three lifetimes?

“Can you cure my poison?” Tuoba Han laughed at his words. Although her medical skills were top-notch, his poison….

If it wasn’t for his family clan’s doctor already said there was no solution, he wouldn’t have come here.

“It’s not like there’s no solution.” Sima You Yue stated.

“Do you have a solution?”

“I’m not certain yet.” Sima You Yue said. “But I feel it’s not too troublesome. If there’s time later, I can take a look. But it’s not free.”

“If you can cure my poison. I’ll surely give you a satisfactory award.” Tuoba Han exclaimed in confidence.

“Alright, it’s a deal!” Sima You Yue laughed.

“But before then, you must keep it a secret.” Tuoba Han explained, “Because for some reasons, my family members all think my poison has been cured.”

“Whatever, anyways, keeping confidentiality for a patient is something a doctor should do. It doesn’t affect me.” She promised.

She collected her needles and covered the clothes on his back. Afterwards, she lifted the curtain and strolled out.

When Tuoba Yan Er’s group of four came back, he had already dressed. Seeing him sitting on the bed, Wang Kai asked, “Are your injuries all right?”

“At least I can move my waist.” Tuoba Han indicated on his clothes.

“I never expected that kid’s medical skills to be quite amazing!” Wang Kai laughed.

“What good stuff did you eat?” Tuoba Han asked.

“Well, Han, you didn’t go. It truly a pity. The food they made are so delicious that it’s not inferior to the dishes of Memory Restaurant.”

“Really, I hope I can have the chance to try it.” Tuoba Han didn’t feel regret. Although he couldn’t eat the good stuff, he discovered a possible breakthrough for his body. It would be best if he has a solution. Even if not, at least there was another path.

Wei Zi Qi and the rest took the time to set up tents. It was estimated that their remaining days would have to be spent here.

Sima You Yue gave Tuoba Han another round of acupuncture, in addition to his self-recovery and the pill’s effects, he was almost completely recovered by the time they left the Mirage.
