Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

The young lady and her two servants returned to Zheng's healing hall as the dusk settle in.

"Are you all set?" said the young lady as she enters the hall with her two servants.

"Right on time." Said Zheng.

"Ah… what the hell happened to this two?" said the young lady upon seeing weary Yang Yue and Li, their eyes darken and their face scowled.

"I can't take it anymore, swear I haven't worked this hard in my entire life."

"The weird feeling, I had, is this it?"

Yang Yue and Li murmured to themselves.

"Never mind them," said Zheng. "Are you ready for the treatment?"

"I'm ready."

After a moment silence, Zheng took the young lady to another room where he had made Li to built a bathtub in less than a day.

"You have soak in this hot bath for an hour."

"I didn't come here for a hot bath." Said the young lady as she began to doubt Zheng's capabilities.

"Don't worry," Zheng said calmly. "This hot tub is especially prepared for you with medicinal herb."

"The heat of this hot water will help you relaxes your muscles and open your meridian pores. After half an hour, I'll have Yang Yue add Xu Daun (an ancient Chinese herbal medicine)"

"Xu Daun will strengthen and repair your meridian wall and it will remove all the poison you gathered in past month."

"In other words, after soaking in this hot tub for an hour, I'll be cured?'"

"More or less, it's something like that." Zheng said with confident and left the young lady alone in that room.

"where's our young lady?" one the young lady's servant asked Zheng as he came out the room alone.

"She taking a hot bath," Zheng said as he began to prepare Xu Daun.

Zheng, being an immortal in his past life as calculated everything, the time required to prepare Xu Daun, the time required to detoxify the young lady and cure her back pain.

After Zheng had finished preparing, he looked toward Yang Yue.

Yang Yue was still traumatized by the labor, Zheng had made her do.

"No… no you tyrant!" Yang Yue pleaded for mercy. "I can't work anymore."

Zheng laughed off to Yang Yue's plea and said. "You just have to add Xu Daun in the hot tub."

"Oh…" Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and headed into the room. "I guess I can do that."

"Excuse me, pardon the intrusion." Yang Yue said as she entered the room.

"It's you," the young lady said. "Yang Yue, right?"

"Yeah, do you mind if I ask your name."

"Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Mei Chen."

"Mei Chen? You don't mean Chen from capital?"

"Yes, I'm from Chen family of the capital." The young lady said with a warm smile.

"What brings you to Lone state?"

"I came looking for someone."

"Did you find that someone?"

"No, I've asked around but everyone has the same answer. They said they just experienced extraordinary phenomenon that day, but they don't know who caused it."

"You are looking for that rumored master?"

"I don't believe it's just a rumor."

"Why are you looking for that master?"

"I feel like I can trust you, so I'll tell you. I need to inherit the position as head of the Chen family."

"I'm done here." Said Yang Yue.

After adding Xu Daun to the hot tub, Yang Yue was leaving when she heard Mei Chen calling from behind.

"Who is he?" asked Mei Chen.

"Zheng?" Yang Yue answered, as she turned back. "Honestly, I don't know really."

Time passed by quickly.

Mei Chen came out from the room, relaxed and relieved from the back pain as if she never had one.

"How do you feel?" Zheng asked.

"The pain in my back is gone and I can feel my Qi flowing smoothly."

"looks like you are cured."

"Can I ask you a question?" Mei Chen said.

"What is it?"

"Do you want to come and work for me?"

"I'm happy here. I want to stay little longer at Soaring Sea Sect and get to know these people." Zheng replied, looking at Li and little longer at Yang Yue.

"You are going to leave Lone State?!" Yang Yue was shocked to hear that Zheng will be leaving Soaring Sea Sect later.

"I need to travel across the world." Zheng said. "That was my master's last guidance."

Yang Yue and Li was disappointed to learn that their time together is limited.

"By the way, I'm called Mei Chen and I can't thank you enough." Mei Chen interrupted their conversation to show her gratitude. "If you need anything in future, come to me. I'll help you in any possible way."

"Zheng, I'm Zheng," He said as he received his payment from Mei Chen. "I look forward to our next meeting."

As Mei Chen came out of Zheng's Healing Hall, the crowd saw satisfaction on her face. They couldn't help but wondered if Zheng was really skilled.

"That young lady looked really happy."

"Could that Zheng really treat any illness?"

"How's that possible? He's so young and we haven't heard about any young talent in Lone State."

"He's not from here. Did he come from another place?"

"Should we go and check it out for ourselves?"

 Despite having their own doubt and suspicion, the people started to walk into Zheng's healing hall- some to check its authenticity and some to receive his services.

Nevertheless, Zheng and his team welcomed everyone who stepped inside their healing hall.

"Zheng…" Li called, looking like he had something to say. "You could have earned 2000 gold coin from Mei Chen but you didn't take it."

"I don't want to take advantage of my customers." Zheng said with a smile. "I'll charge what's worth."

"You are something else." Said Yang Yue from behind desk as she was counting the coins.

"it's nothing special, I just don't want people to suffer." Zheng arranged the herbal medicine on the shelf. The duo, Yang Yue and Li were impressed by his word.

He… he is different. I just hope he doesn't change in the future. No… I don't want him to change. Yang Yue thought to herself as she stared at Zheng arranging the shelf.
