What did you say?" Hexi was wholly immersed on Gu Youlan's body and didn't clearly catch Gu Liufeng's quiet mumbling. She couldn't help but turn around and ask.
But why did her heart jump, why did she think she just heard Nangong Yu's name?
Don't tell her it was because she hadn't seen that fellow in so long she was beginning to hallucinate!
Pah! Even if she hadn't seen him in a long time, why would she have to make such a hallucination up? It wasn't like she liked that rascal!
Hexi slapped her now reddened cheeks and returned her attention to her silver needles.
She didn't even hear Gu Liufeng's quiet, "It was nothing."
But, thinking about it, she thought that Gu Liufeng just said some words because he was nervous about Gu Youlan's state. So, she couldn't help but offer some comforting words, "Don't worry, nothing's wrong with your Mother. I only needed her to sleep first."
"If not, her continuous shouting and struggling would quickly deplete her vitality and that wouldn't be beneficial to the treatment later. And naturally, you can't use the common method for this sort of situation, otherwise, it'll also cause a bad effect on a sick person's mind."
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Gu Liufeng's face. Although this smile was still somewhat bitter and weak, it already carried some traces of relief. "Little Yue'er, you're the genius doctor. When you decided to do something, I'll trust you. There's no need to explain something to me."
"If I can't even trust you, who can I trust?"
Hexi laughed but didn't reply. After confirming that Gu Liufeng was calm again, she condensed a greenish-blue light that was about the size of a candle flame and entered the space between Gu Youlan's eyebrows.
This was Hexi's first time using her wood attribute. And because she normally wasn't able to train it much, using even just little bit caused her to develop a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
But compared to the water attribute, the wood attribute was truly the source of life. It could nourish all living things and reinstate sources. When it was used to treat an illness, it could be said that it produced twice the effect with half the amount of effort.
As for the water attribute, although it had comforting and treatment effects, Hexi felt that it was most useful for examining a person's illness. Each time she used her water attribute to check a pulse, she was basically able to see the person's entire body state, no hole was left unentered.
The shivers from pain on her body slowly faded away, her tightly wrinkled together eyebrows loosened, and the corner of her mouth even had a shallow smile on it, as if she was an innocent child that was peacefully sleeping.
Hexi felt her pulse again, and sure enough, it was much steadier than last times. In any case, her outbreak, this time, had passed.
Hexi wiped the sweat off her face and turned around to look at Gu Liufeng. But she found that he was looking at her as if he was looking at a monster.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Liufeng was sluggish for a while before he hoarsely said, "Little Yue'er, the attribute you were just using..."
Attribute? Hexi's face carried a doubtful expression. "Wood attribute, ah? Is there any problem?"
Wasn't it just the wood attribute, one of the five elements? Why was Gu Liufeng so surprised?
Gu Liufeng looked at Hexi's 'why are you making a fuss about nothing' expression and he stuttered, "It's a big problem, you said it was the wood attribute? If I didn't see wrongly, this wood attribute's spiritual power had an extremely pure essence, right?"
"Yes, does the wood attribute's spiritual power have any problem?" Hexi's face showed impatience, "Spit it out."
Gu Liufeng deeply sighed and after being quiet for awhile, he finally said, "Then Little Yue'er, do you know or don't know that, in Miluo Continent, martial artists having the wood attribute are extremely precious?"
