The Jin Sect is famous for the cultivators it carries generation- to- generation. Shui Jin is an immortal cultivator regarded as well versed in every single element with respect to cultivation. His healing techniques are considered the best in the entire cultivation world.
That was the primary reason when Shui Jin offered his help in healing Ying Yue, Huo Sect leader - Mofeng, instantly agreed. After discovering that his daughter is a legendary fire spirit, Mofeng even agreed to his daughter's marriage with Shui Jin. So, they came out of the private chamber and left for Ying Yue's chamber.
As Mofeng entered Ying Yue's chamber along with Shui Jin, he asked the maids to leave from the chamber. The maids bowed to them slightly before they left. Shui Jin stepped in when Mofeng asked him to start the healing procedure on his daughter.
"All of you must evacuate the chamber. Miss Yue's Inner energy cycle has weakened manifolds. To bring it back to normal I have to concentrate energy of nature on her. This is why I must request you all to evacuate the chamber," asserted Shui Jin politely.
Dongmei got up from the bedside of Ying Yue and went to Shui Jin. "Will my daughter be fine after that?" Dongmei inquired.
"Don't worry, Lady Huo, Young Lord Fu is the best healing master in the world. Have faith in him my lady". stated Mofeng and then told Daisung to take his mother to her chamber. Daisung nodded and complied with his father's order.
"How long will this healing process take?" Mofeng inquired.
"The duration is yet uncertain. It may take a few minutes or even a few hours, depending on Miss Huo's inner power," asserted Shui Jin. Mofeng gazed at his daughter before he exited the chamber. Two palace maids who were standing just outside the chamber of Ying Yue, closed the door properly.
Shui Jin turned to look at Ying Yue who was peacefully lying down on the bed. He went to her and sat down on the well crafted wooden chair next to her bed. "The only one who can remove this scar and uplift this deadly curse is you." Thought Shui Jin and then folded his right hand's sleeve.
With his two fingers joined (the index finger and middle finger), Shui Jin moved the hand over Ying Yue's forehead and then put them gently between her eyebrows. Closing his eyes, Shui Jin tried checking the Qi and inner energy level of Ying Yue.
He focused on the part and observed there was no development in Ying Yue's Qi and she had very little energy left because of her injury. Opening his eyes, Shui Jin checked the pulse of Ying Yue which had risen a little bit.
"There is some kind of inner turmoil that is interfering with the healing. I must calm you down before I start healing you," murmured Shui Jin.
Shui Jin got up from the chair and went near the mattress on the left side of the bed. He got seated on the white mattress and closed his eyes.
A musical instrument 'Qin' appeared in front of him. It has seven strings over its curved top representing heaven. The instrument's flat bottom represents the earth. There were two holes in the bottom panel of the qin which allow the sound to project to some extent and are referred as the 'Phoenix' and 'Dragon' pools.
Shui Jin moved his both hands above the strings and then started plucking the strings in such a manner that it created a sound that was soothing and brought peace to the listener's mind. By doing so he was trying to conserve the energy inside Ying Yue, thus stabilising her pulse.
Even unconsciously, she was affected by those calming tunes played by Shui Jin. He continued playing the qin to calm her nerves. The heavenly sounds created by qin filled the entire palace. The way Shui Jin was plucking the strings was clearly showing his skills of healing techniques.
He continued to play with those strings thus creating a balance between the earth and heaven to which will not only to some extent will awaken Qi inside Ying Yue but also balance the inner energy levels of Ying Yue. The morning turned to evening and Shui Jin continued the healing through the music of qin.
In the late evening he stopped playing Qin and went near Ying Yue. He put his one palm gently over her forehead and transferred the energy from his body to Ying Yue.
"How could you be so careless with your own body? You've decayed your energy levels and Qi," murmured Shui Jin and then put his other arm on Ying Yue's heart. The energy appeared around his hands which was of white glowing nature . He focussed his Qi over Ying Yue's forehead and heart thus healing Ying Yue.
Ying Yue showed slight movements in her fingers and eyes which brought a smile on Shui Jin's lips. He kept his Qi focussed for a few more seconds and then took back his hands just before Ying Yue opened her eyes gradually.
As Ying Yue opened her eyes, she saw a pair of ocean blue eyes gazing at her. "White haired man," whispered Ying Yue when she realized she was in a familiar place.
Her body was feeling somewhat stronger unlike the last time. Hastily she got up from the bed and sat on it. "Miss huo, don't pressure your body too much since you have just healed," Shui Jin said politely.
"How did I come here?" Ying Yue asked and jumped out of bed. She scratched her forehead and then glared at Shui Jin.
"Who told you to bring me here? Oh, God! Who are you people? Listen, if the police gets to know about this then they will punish you severely," muttered Ying Yue.
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Shui Jin inquired confusedly.
"You don't need to know. Get out from my way," said Ying Yue and pushed him away but Shui Jin grabbed her arm, thus pulling her towards him.
"Leave me!" Shouted Ying Yue at him.
"Miss, Huo. Your behaviour doesn't resemble that of a gentle lady. You will also need to learn some manners if you are to be my bride. I have no problem with your behaviour but in my place the other disciples may take it otherwise." Shui Jin briefed her.
Ying Yue jerked off his grip from her and said, "What bride? You won't get anything from kidnapping me. Just tell me what place this is and let me go if you want to live a good life," Ying Yue asserted.
Shui Jin was getting confused because of accent but he tried replying to her. "This is the downhill of Mount Tai where the famous Huo Sect lives. My place is in Mount Tai highlands," answered Shui Jin.
"Since you have fallen from such a great height-" Ying Yue put a palm in front of him, seeing which Shui Jin stopped speaking. Ying Yue's eyes fell on her portrait where she was in those traditional Chinese clothes with a golden tiara in her head. She walked towards her portrait.
"Who is this?" Ying Yue asked.
Shui Jin turned to look and replied, "This is you." For a second, Ying Yue's entire world fell apart.
"I jumped from that building and then instead of dying and I ended up waking here. Is it time travel which I heard from many students in my school days? No, no it's not time travel. How can I be here?" Thought Ying Yue and ran towards the door.
She banged on the giant door of her chamber. Shui Jin walked to her and stopped her from doing that. "Miss, Yue. What happened? Why are you-"
Ying Yue cut his words and asked, "What era is this?"
"245th year," replied Shui Jin and looked at Ying Yue worriedly. "Why? What happened? Are you fine, Miss?" Shui Jin asked.
"I have no way out from here. That's why they all are speaking strange things. I have to tell him that I'm not the one whom he's looking for marriage," thought Ying Yue.
"I'm An Ying Yue. I'm a swimmer- a world class Swimmer. I can't marry you. I have many things to do in my life," said Ying Yue.
"Swimmer? I don't know what you're saying, Miss Yue. You cannot refuse to marry me. One more thing I want to tell you is that you are to learn the cultivation and train yourself," stated Shui Jin.
"Why aren't you getting my point? I'm not going anywhere to learn cult- whatever that is. Just let me go, okay," said Ying Yue.
"Miss, I cannot do that. Well, you seem fully fine to me. Your energy is back. Your family will come here in a while so have a nice conversation with them," said Shui Jin politely and in a loud voice told the maids outside to open the door.
Hearing Shui Jin's voice, the maids opened the door for him. Shui Jin bowed slightly before Ying Yue before leaving her chamber. Bao Li, the personal maid of Ying Yue came inside and smiled seeing her miss all fine.
Ying Yue on the other hand was still in shock as she was yet to absorb the fact that Shui Jin is supposed to marry her.
