Tang Yuehua's injuries were very serious.
She was just an ordinary person, and Tang San hadn't held back at all, causing damage to the bones in her face. Although she wouldn't be in mortal danger with timely treatment.
But...
"Pavilion Master, your facial injuries are too severe. While I can handle the bruising and pain, I dare not attempt to treat the bones myself. This..."
The Healing System Soul Master stammered, causing Tang Yuehua's heart to sink to the bottom.
"What will happen?"
The Healing System Soul Master gritted his teeth and confessed:
"Your face is actually a bit crooked now, Pavilion Master. If the bones aren't corrected, you'll likely have lifelong sequelae!"
Meaning she'd become a crooked-faced old woman?
In an instant, Tang Yuehua almost fainted!
How would she live her life from now on? How would she face others?
For a moment, boundless hatred surged within her. She no longer cared that Tang San was Tang Hao's son; she would make him pay the price by any means necessary!
Seeing that Tang Yuehua couldn't bear the blow, the Healing System Soul Master hurriedly said:
"Pavilion Master! Wait!"
"Facial bones are extremely difficult to repair and correct. I am untalented and lack the skill, nor do I dare to operate recklessly. But the Nine Hearted Begonia family definitely can!"
"Not only is the Ye Family Head's medical skill superb, but the Nine Hearted Begonia Martial Soul alone can ensure she acts boldly without putting you, Pavilion Master, in mortal danger!"
Tang Yuehua froze.
Just moments ago, she had nearly lost her mind, her heart filled with madness and hatred, as if she were about to fall into an endless abyss of darkness.
But the Healing System Soul Master's words were like a life-saving straw, pulling her back to the world of the living.
"Nine Hearted Begonia?"
Tang Yuehua chewed on those four words.
Her first reaction was shame and fear. She had always harbored feelings of comparison with Qing Xian, and she had long since severed ties with Qing Xian.
Now, she was pathetic, like a stray dog.
How could she possibly face Qing Xian with such a disheveled appearance?!
Tang Yuehua didn't want Ye Qingxian to see her in such a sorry state, nor did she want to grovel and beg Ye Qingxian. She would never be able to hold her head up in front of Ye Qingxian again!
However, Tang Yuehua covered her face with her sleeve and took out a mirror from her Storage Soul Tool.
Seeing the ugly sight of her crooked face and mouth in the mirror.
She finally cast aside her pride.
She choked out, "Go, go to the Ye family clinic."
...
Ye Family Clinic.
Tang Yuehua wore a bamboo hat, her face veiled with white gauze.
She saw the "Closed" sign hanging at the entrance.
She asked a maid to inquire with the surrounding residents and learned that Ye Qingxian seemed to be extremely busy recently, and the clinic hadn't been open for a long time.
With no other choice, Tang Yuehua had to set off for the Ye Residence.
This added new worries for her.
If asked who Tang Yuehua least wanted to see right now, it would definitely be Lin Xiao!
If Lin Xiao were to see her current pathetic state, the shame Tang Yuehua would feel would be even greater than being naked in front of Lin Xiao!
But what else could she do?
...
Ye Residence.
Ye Qingxian was explaining Alchemy to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao's foundation in pharmacology was quite good, and learning Alchemy wasn't difficult for him.
However, there were priorities. His immediate task was to improve his strength. He would have plenty of time to refine his Alchemy skills later when he was free. For now, he was just getting a basic understanding.
Suddenly, a maid announced from outside.
"Moon Pavilion Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua seeks an audience!"
Her teaching session was interrupted. Ye Qingxian's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's name, her gaze sharpened, and she said coldly:
"I will not see her."
Tang Yuehua was once Ye Qingxian's best friend.
But ever since she had plotted against Lin Xiao.
Ye Qingxian had already severed all ties with her.
Lin Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he calmly continued to learn alchemy knowledge with Ye Qingxian.
After a while.
A maid's hesitant report came from outside again.
"Family Head, the Moon Pavilion's Pavilion Master… she's kneeling outside the door, saying she knows she was wrong!"
"She doesn't know she was wrong, she knows she's scared."
Ye Qingxian said lightly, echoing words Lin Xiao had once spoken.
"But she also said that if the Family Head refuses to see her, she'll keep kneeling until the Family Head agrees to meet her."
"Moreover, she said she has something important to remind the Family Head about, something related to Young Master Lin Xiao, something that concerns the entire continent…"
Ye Qingxian didn't give any reply.
The maid waited for a while before leaving.
After that, she never came to disturb Ye Qingxian again.
Ye Qingxian taught Lin Xiao alchemy until evening.
During dinner.
Ye Lingling asked curiously:
"What's going on with Aunt Yuehua? She's been kneeling at our doorstep. I was startled when I went out today!"
Dugu Yan curled her lips.
"Lingling, you're still calling her Aunt Yuehua! Don't you remember when people from the Clear Sky Sect caused trouble for us while we were hunting for Soul Rings? Tang Yuehua is the younger sister of the Clear Sky Sect Master!"
Ye Lingling mumbled:
"I just feel like she looks kind of pitiful…"
Perhaps it was related to her Martial Soul's characteristics, or perhaps due to her own experiences, but among the girls, Ye Lingling was actually the softest and kindest-hearted.
Ye Qingxian looked up at her daughter and said lightly:
"Why are you worrying about adult matters?"
Lin Xiao quickly served dishes to Ye Qingxian and Ye Lingling, afraid the mother and daughter would start arguing. He used to help Aunt Ye, but now he had to dote on Sister Ling Ling too, right?
After finishing dinner.
Everyone went about their own business.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling reviewed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Jade Phosphorous Begonia," while Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er practiced the "Yin Yang Phoenix Nirvana Profound Chapter."
When the moon hung high in the sky, everyone had gone to sleep.
Outside the Ye Residence.
A beautiful figure in a white palace dress, with a veiled face, was still kneeling at the door, occasionally letting out sobs. The scene was poignant, giving a strong impression of a widow.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Alright, stop playing the victim."
A clear, distant voice rang out. Tang Yuehua looked up in surprise.
"Qingxian! I…"
"You can go back now. Stop blocking my doorway."
Before Tang Yuehua could finish speaking, Ye Qingxian interrupted her.
Her expression immediately turned sorrowful. "Qingxian, we've been good sisters for 20 years! I never thought we would end up like this!"
Ye Qingxian remained unmoved and said calmly:
"Those who share the same aspirations become like old friends at first meeting; those who drift apart due to moral failings remain strangers even with white hair."
"Yuehua, don't make me look down on you."
Tang Yuehua's heart ached sharply, and she felt ashamed!
After a long silence.
Tang Yuehua looked up, removing her hat and veil.
She revealed her face, which was crooked and her mouth askew.
Ye Qingxian was quite surprised by this.
"Why did you do this to yourself?!"
Tang Yuehua smiled sadly.
"It's all my own fault, this wretched woman."
Ye Qingxian, usually unfazed by honor or disgrace, was uncharacteristically flustered today. How had the elegant and noble Tang Yuehua, who was as beautiful and proud as a peony, become like this?
She even referred to herself as a "wretched woman"?
