Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 19 Movements


The Protective True Qi formed by the Nine Yang True Qi enveloped Ye Xiao in a flawless defense, which was actually a special effect of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Whether in practice or healing, the Nine Yang True Qi would automatically form a powerful Protective True Qi. Thus, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Nine Yang Divine Skill was the strongest defensive Inner Strength mental method!

A Martial Artist's perception was incredibly sharp. However, during the practice of mental methods, this perception became even stronger. Unless someone was in a higher realm than the cultivator, any anomaly within a hundred meters could not escape the Martial Artist's awareness—that is to say, the presence of a murderous aura or any disturbance within that range would be detected by the Martial Artist quicker than anyone else!

The Nine Yang True Qi continuously circulated within Ye Xiao's body. Since reaching the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ye Xiao had found that advancing further was not as effortless as before—it was probably because the second level was more profound than the first!

Ye Xiao, who had been meditating and circulating his Inner Power True Qi, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned slightly. Looking up at the ceiling, he murmured, "What's that noise?"

Just as Ye Xiao was cultivating, he suddenly sensed a loud clatter from the second floor, followed by faint sounds of pain. If he hadn't been in the midst of cultivation, he likely wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Ye Xiao got up from the bed but immediately hesitated. Ling Shuya had made it very clear that Ye Xiao was absolutely forbidden from going to the second floor. Judging by Ling Shuya's expression, if he went upstairs without permission, she would undoubtedly use it as a reason to kick him out. By then, even Ling Hengyu's words might be disregarded by Ling Shuya, and Ye Xiao's quest to unravel the mystery of his own past would become all the more difficult!

"But as a bodyguard, it seems that I am responsible for ensuring Ling Shuya's safety. If I don't go upstairs and something happens to Ling Shuya, I might be to blame," Ye Xiao murmured to himself.

Clearly, neither going upstairs nor staying put was a good option.

In the end, Ye Xiao chose to go upstairs, and the reason was simple: Ling Shuya's safety was the top priority. If nothing else, he could avoid the stairs and stealthily check out what was happening on the upper floor. If there was no issue, he'd quietly come down without anyone being the wiser, especially Ling Shuya who probably wouldn't even detect his presence!

Thinking this, Ye Xiao felt quite clever for coming up with such a brilliant idea. He immediately left his room, now clad in clean clothes, moved swiftly to the window without making a sound, leapt out nimbly, and reached a window on the second floor. With a light push from his hands, he peered inside to find a cozily arranged room that clearly belonged to a girl. The large bed was strewn with clothes Ling Shuya had worn earlier—evidently, this was her room. But Ling Shuya was not there!

However, at that moment, Ye Xiao heard the sound of running water!

Following the sound of the water, Ye Xiao saw that it was coming from the bathroom inside the room. He paused briefly, wondering if Ling Shuya could be taking a shower.

Ye Xiao thought to himself that she was just showering—perhaps he had worried for no reason. Yes, she was in the shower!

Many thoughts rushed through Ye Xiao's mind in that instant.

But just then, he heard faint sounds of pain again, originating from that bathroom!

"Should I just go in and check? But if she's taking a shower, that usually means..."

Fearing that something serious had happened and putting aside other considerations, Ye Xiao decided to barge in.

Inside the bathroom, Ling Shuya lay on the floor in pain, and seeing Ye Xiao enter, she was greatly shocked.

"You... get out!" she exclaimed.

Ye Xiao quickly draped a bath towel over Ling Shuya.

Ignoring her rejection, he promptly picked her up and placed her back on the bed in her room.

Ling Shuya was in pain, her pelvis hurting. She tried to struggle but had no strength, and then she noticed that Ye Xiao had his eyes closed.

"Ye Xiao, what... what are you going to do?" she asked.

"Don't move if you don't want to be paralyzed for life."

Although Ling Shuya wanted to scold him, the pain in her pelvis was real, and she definitely did not want to end up paralyzed.

Ye Xiao's hands each found a spot on Ling Shuya's pelvis, and then he began to set her bones using a massaging method. Roughly two minutes later, there was a slight creaking sound from her bones, and the pain started to subside.
