Chapter 14: Fourteen Face-slapping
"How... how did you know?"
After the shock, Yin Huan abruptly stood up from his chair, then grabbed Yun Xiao's neck, the harshness in his voice made it seem as if he would snap Yun Xiao's neck in the next moment.
This was the biggest secret in Yin Huan's heart, and it was also a longstanding ailment of their lineage. Even his mentor was helpless against this "Three Yin Meridians" and could only suppress the outbreaks with elixirs.
But suppression was just that, and once noontime and midnight came, that strange chill would reach a limit, making him feel worse than death each time, as if all the blood in his body was frozen, unable to circulate at all.
"Heh... heh..., just the... Three Yin Meridians, it's not like they can't be... cured, right?"
Even as Yin Huan gripped his throat, even as he struggled to breathe, Yun Xiao managed to squeeze out a strange smile. After these words, the prodigy genius of the Jade Pot Sect instinctively released his hands.
"Cough... cough cough!"
Among Yun Xiao's coughs, Yin Huan finally began to seriously consider this young man in plain clothes whom he had known for less than a time. He suddenly discovered that this kid seemed to have many secrets.
That unyielding pride despite only being at the late stage of Meridian Qi, the Cutting Vein Technique which he himself was not very proficient in, and now even his Three Yin Meridians were known to Yun Xiao. Yin Huan was at a loss for words, and he began to suspect whether the young man was merely bluffing.
"Do you have a way to... to cure..." After his doubt, Yin Huan spoke up gravely, but looking at Shang Yan, the Family Head of the Shang Family who wore a curious expression, he did not finish his sentence. However, he believed Yun Xiao would understand his meaning.
"A trifling matter, what say you? Care to wager? The condition is that you help me restrain that old man Shang Li!"
