Upon hearing that, Leng Yu gasped in shock. At that moment, he finally understood what it means by saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

He couldn't help making silent comments, "I suppose that if there's one person who can diagnose this as precisely as Ye Qingyi, it has to be the Drug-sage."

Thinking of this, Leng Yu's eyes brightened up. Since Ye Qingyi had such amazing medical skills, she might know the cure for the Icing Poison."

Huangfu Yi was shocked by the medical skills of Ye Qingyi as well. He had suffered from the Icing Poison for years and as Ye just said, it was. .h.i.tting more and more frequently while more and more painful each time. It had almost burnt out all his determination. However, he was not resigned to dying just yet.

Now that he met such a master medic, his survival instincts had brightened up his eyes. However, he then realized that with greater hope comes greater disappointment, and his eyes dimmed again.

"Miss Ye, could you cure my Master's Icing Poison?"

After quite a while, Leng Yu asked, as Ye Qingyi did not speak further. His att.i.tude was becoming more respectful too.

Ye Qingyi did not say a word, but countless thoughts rushed into her mind.

Her diagnosis showed that someone else poisoned him. Then the question was at the ident.i.ty of this masked man. What kind of hatred there was between the poisoner and the masked man, so much so that the poisoner would do such thing to a then seven-year-old kid?

The Icing Poison was tough, but she did not gain her fame as a master of poison for nothing. She sure did know the cure for it. Although the masked man saved her life, they were strangers after all and she did not know this man.

She was not that naïve. Curing him carelessly might bring herself unnecessary troubles. Moreover, the masked man must be one of the privileged, which means that the poisoner must be somebody as well. Therefore, she needed some time to think it through.

After making up her decision, Ye Qingyi said slowly, "It's true that the Icing Poison is hard to cure. After all these years, the Icing Poison had diffused into his marrows and heart. It would be more challenging to cure it than before, but it's not impossible. I just need some time to think carefully about how to cure it."

As she spoke, joy had appeared on the poker face of Leng Yu. He said with excitement, "My Master, did you hear that? Miss Ye said that your Icing Poison has a cure!"

Huangfu Yi nodded his head and licked his lips. He said towards Ye Qingyi, "then I should thank Miss Ye first."

"Save it till I clear all the Icing Poison in your body."

Thinking that the masked man saved her life while she lied to him to avoid possible troubles, she was a bit embarra.s.sed and blushed slightly.

She glimpsed at the masked man, noticing that his lips were paler than before, and he started trembling, with nearly unnoticeable coldness coming out from his body. Ye Qingyi said out of guilt, "Although I can't cure the Icing Poison in you at the moment, I could use a ma.s.saging therapy to soothe the pain it causes. I wonder if you would like to try."

Huangfu Yi forced a smile in pain, "Yes please."

Then, Ye Qingyi put some force on the acupuncture points on w.a.n.g Fuyi's body. She had perfect control in the force, exerting gentle force at some points and greater force at others.

Soon, Huangfu Yi felt sore and numb, and his body warmed up. He felt relaxed beyond words, and the pain relieved quite a lot.

Leng Yu admired Ye Qingyi so much after seeing the lips of his master turning red again.

After a quarter, Ye Qingyi finished her therapy and stretched her numbed fingers.

Huangfu Yi's eyes were as bright as the stars. He took out a white jade plate from his waist and handed it to Ye Qingyi.
