Tian Xuan immediately stopped whatever he is doing and threw the last item that is in his hand toward Long Zhang. He glanced at the man temporarily before pulling his eyes away and huffed in anger.
Long Zhang smiled when he saw that reaction.
It is different yet Tian Xuan reaction gives off the same feeling he felt in the dream last night when the boy in the dream being tsun-tsun toward him.
He took out a set of the white robe with purple lining to match Tian Xuan's black robe with purple lining and wear it while facing the mirror. He is a perfectionist, so, even the line of his robe need to be lined perfectly as he wears the clothes.
Tian Xuan told Tian Qiu to clean up the mess that he made and walked toward Wu Xian.
Wu Xian bowed to Tian Xuan while holding his sister in his arms. Concubine Qian also greeted Tian Xuan and Tian Xuan just waved his hand to dismiss the regulation of mannerism.
He scanned the girl in Wu Xian's arm and widened his eyes alarmed.
"Quickly, put the girl on my bed."
Wu Xian took off his shoe and entered Tian Xuan's room. Although he is stunned to see Long Zhang that sat by the small table while drinking tea that Tian Qiu served, he ignored the man and quickly put his sister down to the bed.
His sister is in critical condition. He could not afford to pay others any attention.
Tian Xuan also ignored Long Zhang and took out a thin silver needle.
When he realized what happen to the girl, he is extremely disgusted with the person that caused this harm to a girl who is no more than three years old. He glanced at the worried concubine and Wu Xian for a moment before speaking.
"Your sister is cursed. It is the Yin Curse. It will slowly feed off her yin energy and when she died, it will be transferred to your mother or other maids that is close to her." Tian Xuan explained as he pierced the silver needle slowly to the acupoint under the girl's armpit.
Concubine Qian gasped while Wu Xian clenched his fist in anger. Who is it that harmed his sister?!
The Yin Curse is not rare but usually, it will only be implanted in a cultivator body, not to someone who has yet formed a cultivation core or ordinary folks.
Tian Xuan narrowed his eyes as the two fingers from his right hand pointed toward the silver needle. Soon, Tian Xuan's cyan eyes glowed as he could see through inside the girl's body and located the black gas in the girl's veins.
Through the silver needle, he pulled the black gas and immediately the girl groaned in pain.
"Nghh…"
"My daughter…" Concubine Qian felt her heart being torn when she saw her daughter in pain.
Tian Xuan did not stop, instead, he is even more focused to lead the curse out of the girl's body.
"AAAAAhhhh… Mom… Mommy…hurt… makes it stop…" The girl cried as the black gas flowed into the silver needle. Concubine Qian felt like rushing ahead to hug the girl but she resists from doing so. As selfish as she thinks she is, she wanted her daughter to survive even if it is painful.
Tian Xuan glanced at Tian Qiu and the falcon pecked the girl's other acupoint to put the girl to sleep.
Even with the help of Cloud Dreaming Bed, the girl couldn't sleep because the pain is excruciating.
Yin Curse is the lowest curse of all curse which is why he was disgusted by the person who put the curse on the girl. Yin Curse will absorb all the yin energy in a person body slowly and the person will die when the yin energy has been sucked dry.
Black art practitioners put a law that Yin Curse can only be used upon a martial cultivator but never on ordinary people because it is a curse that can be transferred from one body to another body.
Yet, the one that put this curse certainly didn't follow the law.
It is already excruciating for a martial cultivator, what more for an ordinary girl who hasn't sense the spiritual energy yet.
"Ha!" Tian Xuan exerted his force to pull the last stubborn black gas.
The last black gas entered the silver needle and instantly changed the silver needle into black hue. He immediately takes the silver needle and threw it into the small world to let Tian Qiu gather data about it.
Hopefully, they will found out the trace of the person that implanted the curse.
"Done… I will help her nourish her body now meanwhile… Wu Xian, go cook breakfast, brings Tian Qiu with you…"
Wu Xian saw his sister slowly regain color in her skin and felt at ease. He sighed in relief as he looks at her one more time before turning to Tian Xuan. "Thank you, Lord Tian." Wu Xian bowed and hugged the white falcon in his arm before walking out to the kitchen.
Tian Xuan circulates the surrounding qi to nourish the girl from outside of her body. He separates the other unnecessary energy and let the Yin energy slowly seep into her body. He let Concubine Qian sat beside her daughter while he asked few questions.
"The curse shouldn't be longer than two years which mean, the girl is around one year old when the curse was implanted inside her body. The real target of the curse surely targeted to you. Do you have any idea who could it be that wanted to harm you?"
Concubine Qian face darkened when she heard that. Who else could it be if not that person?
When her daughter is only a year old, that person sent someone to visit them once and after that, that person never sent someone or come to visit them anymore.
"The only one that I could think of would be their own father… my husband."
Tian Xuan definitely didn't expect that. His eyes widened and his eyebrows furrowed as he stares at Concubine Qian with a meaningful stare.
"Why would he?"
"… Because he is not surnamed, Wu."
Tian Xuan still confused but he quietly listened to the lady.
Concubine Qian sighed before glancing at her daughter. "Wu Hanzho has four children and one of them is a daughter. She is Wu Ningxi, the third child of Wu Hanzho."
"Wu Hanzho will never allow his daughter enter other people clan so the man that married his daughter will have to enter Wu Clan. At that time, Bei Xiang already married someone but Wu Ningxi insisted on marrying him so Wu Hanzho offered many things to Bei Xiang to persuade the man to enter Wu Clan."
Concubine Qian felt her blood boiling as she continued to speak. "At that time, I was only Lady Ningxi's maid when Bei Xiang divorced his own wife to marry Lady Ningxi.
His ex-wife disguised as a maid in Wu Clan and poisoned Lady Ningxi to be unable to conceive a child. Lady Ningxi was devastated when she found out about it.
She killed the woman out of rage and pleaded me to sleep with his husband and give her the child."
Tian Xuan lowered his eyes as he thinks of something and stared at her again.
"And you agreed?"
"Of course not…" Concubine Qian shook her head and clenched her trembling fist before she continued, "however, Bei Xiang trapped me and forcefully took my virginity. He impregnated me and acted like I am the one that trapped him.
Lady Ningxi felt betrayed. She took my first son and claimed him as hers. I didn't blame her but I am truly offended by Bei Xiang."
"So, how is your first son?"
"Although Lady Ningxi feels betrayed by me, she still took care of the boy like the jewel of her heart but Bei Xiang refused to acknowledge the boy as his son. He acted as if he treated Lady Ningxi wholeheartedly but I knew that he is still thinking of his previous wife.
Which is why my first son is also gradually getting ill.
In fact, Lady Ningxi also becoming sick but the physician and apothecary master said that she is only exhausted from taking care of her child. I do also not doubt the physician words but now I couldn't help it but feel that even my son is cursed and Lady Ningxi was infected."
"So… he is targeting the Wu Clan rightful title as part of the heirs?"
Concubine Qian nodded her head and Tian Xuan finally gets the full picture of the situation.
Bei Xiang acted like he is wholeheartedly treated Wu Ningxi without resenting a bit that she killed his previous wife. However, Concubine Qian couldn't tell Wu Ningxi anything because she is afraid that Wu Ningxi will think that she is accusing Bei Xiang to ruin the harmony between Wu Ningxi and Bei Xiang.
Plus, she doesn't have enough evidence to convince Wu Ningxi about Bei Xiang real intention.
