Sima You Ming and the others stood up to go, and they had just reached the entrance of the hall when they saw Xue Rong and Ma Bo Jian walking in from outside.
Seeing the unconcealed glee on their faces, Xue Rong said, “Happy after receiving that many cultivation points?”
“You guys know it too?” Sima you Ming said with surprise.
“We’re not the only ones. I’m afraid all the groups know about it. Your lightning team has finished two missions and obtained thirty two thousand cultivation points. The other groups are jealous to death.”
“How could news spread that fast?!” Sima You Ming was stunned.
“Of course this kind of explosive news would spread fast. You obtained that many points at one go. This is something that has never happened before. Furthermore, you have just formed your group and there are few of you. Once they think about the splitting of your points, they all go crazy with jealousy. There are already many who are planning to get you to join their group.” Xue Rong said with a smile.
She had walked in with Sima You Ming, and subconsciously glanced at Sima You Yue. When she saw her pale little face, she asked with concern, “You Yue, why are you so pale? Are you injured?”
Sima You Yue saw that Xue Rong’s expression of surprise and concern wasn’t fake, and recalled how her injury by the ghost clansmen had not been leaked out. She smiled, saying, “yeah. I got injured during the mission. But it’s better now. I’ll just have to rest for a bit.”
“Yeah. Getting wounded during a mission is common. As long as you didn’t harm your foundations, you’ll be fine after some rest.” xue Rong has seen her fair share of injuries. Every time they went out to do a mission, they would get injured. As such, she didn’t think much of her injury.
“Is there anything up with y’all today?” Sima You Ming asked.
“Actually, nothing much. We just heard that you guys returned, so we came over to see you all.” Xue Rong glanced at Sima You Yue, her expression a little troubled.
“Did you come to look for me for something?” Sima You Yue asked.
That…” Xue Rong and Ma Bo Jian exchanged glances, a little hesitant. Finally, Ma Bo Jian said, “It’s like this. We went out for a mission this time, and one of our members got injured during it. We heard that a student called You Yue is a doctor here, and his skills are really good. That’s why we wanted to ask for your help. But we didn’t think that you would be injured as well…”
“If a student gets injured, can’t they just look for the teacher?” Sima You Ran reminded.
“How could we not know that. But the teachers in the sect couldn’t explain the reason after looking at her. He said that he had no idea and would escalate it.” Xue Rong said, “We initially wanted to go to the outer court to look for Teacher Ge, but we heard that he left last night. That was why we thought about going to look for You Yue while they arranged for another teacher to stand in. Because Teacher Ge has praised his medical prowess.”
“But You Yue himself is injured. We should think of another way.” Ma Bo Jian said.
“Who is the injured one?”
“It’s Yuan Yuan.” Xue Rong said
“Shu Yuan Yuan?” Sima You Yue thought of that lady with the bright shining eyes. Even when they were in the Maze forest, she had been protective of her.
“Yeah.”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“Her appearance is pretty normal, but she keeps fainting.” Xue Rong said, “After consulting the teacher, he said that her life will not yet be in danger. But we are still worried.”
“Since it’s her, I’ll go and take a look.” Sima You Yue said.
“But you.. now…” Xue Rong looked at her worriedly.
“I’m okay. I’m just a little weak. I’ll just take a look at her. If it’s not serious, we can check up on her again in two days.” Sima You Yue said.
Xue Rong smiled apologetically, saying gratefully, “Then we’ll have to trouble you.”
“Let us head over, then.” Sima You Yue said, “Oh right, the ranking matches are going to begin. The ranking matches are one portion of the three. Fatty Qu, you guys should properly prepare.”
Fatty Qu and the others nodded. What she meant by preparing, was that they were to prepare the things they needed to cultivate. Once she was done, they would go into the spirit pagoda for closed door cultivation. As such, there were things they had to prepare.
Sima You Yue thought of how they were talking about the three great matches when she had just entered the inner sect, and it was finally going to start…
Xue Rong led Sima You Yue to their dorm. The moment they entered, they saw many people standing in the courtyard.
“Xue Rong, is he the one you were talking about?” A small statured youth saw Sima You Yue’s sickly figure and wondered whether or not she really was a knowledgeable doctor.
“I was still wondering who you went to look for. So you went to look for You Yue. But You Yue, why do you look so bad?” Someone who met Sima You Yue in the Maze forest greeted her.
“I got a little injured during a mission.” Sima You Yue sakd, “I’ll go take a look at Yuan Yuan’s condition.”
“I’ll take you in.” Xue Rong said.
Once they left, the small youth thought of how they had addressed her and blinked in confusion, “You Yue? Sima You Yue? THE Sima You Yue?”
“You only recognise him now? No way, have you been living under a rock?”
“Wasn’t I in seclusion for a period of time? I heard of his name, but I’ve never met him. I still thought that he was a tall and mighty male. Who would have thought that he would be so small?” The small guy said.
“How is he small? He’s around your size.” Someone teased him, laughing at how he was a pot calling the kettle black.
Sima You Yue entered the house and came to Yuan Yuan’s bedroom. She saw her lying on a bed with a peaceful expression. Sometimes, her mouth would hook up into a light smile.
“You Yue, her expression is always like this when she faints. It’s like she’s having a beautiful dream.” Xue Rong said, “in the beginning, we thought that she was just sleeping, but she was still like this in the morning of the second day. No matter how we called out to her, she refused to wake up. It was only then that we realised that something was wrong. Could you take a look at her?”
“Mm.”
Sima you Yue walked over and placed her right hand over her pulse. It was only after a long moment passed that she released it.
“How is she?” Xue Rong asked.
“Where did you go back then?”
The violet water swamp.”
“You guys went to the violet water swamp?” Sima You Yue looked at Xue Rong with surprise.
“At that time, they wanted to choose a difficult mission that was worth many cultivation points. Some people saw that the Violet water swamp mission was more simple and insisted on going there instead.” Xue Rong was a little angry when she spoke. If they didn’t go there, how could this have happened?
“The violet water swamp is one of the ten most dangerous places in the outer regions. Even if the mission itself was not difficult, the environment alone would be dangerous. How easy would it be?” Sima You Yue disapproved of their thought process as she shook her head.
