Shi Chen looked at Sima You Yue and the entire courtyard instantly quieted down.

Sima You Yue didn’t say anything either, as she returned his gaze without flinching.

After slightly more than a minute passed, he finally nodded and said lightly, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

“Third Bro!” The red clothed male shouted.

Shi Chen waved his hands saying, “Seventh Brother, it wouldn’t hurt.”

“You…” Dai Yi saw that Shi Chen wouldn’t listen to him, so he turned to the youngest brother, Kong Ren.

“Seventh Bro, let him try.” Kong Ren was rather anxious when he first entered, but he didn’t say anything. However, his eyes were sharp and he noticed that the pill that Sima You Yue had given Little Golden Snake was a seventh ranked pill.

“You guys… Hmph! Do whatever you want!” Dai Yi kept his sword away, but his expression remained dark.

“Let’s go to the living room. Sixth bro, help me in.” Shi Chen instructed.

“Yes, Third bro.” Ni An Yi walked over to support Shi Chen and led him into the living room. Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang followed him in.

Dai Yi and the others didn’t move, but they were pulled over by You Si.

“Fourth Bro, what’s going on with these people? What are they doing here?” Hong Wu asked.

“Fifth bro, these two are so young, but they are abnormally strong.” You Si said.

He told them about how he had found out about the scarlet bees as well as how Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang had suddenly turned up at their door.

“The two of them are actually that capable?” Dai Yi didn’t believe it.

“That little golden snake… can you tell what type of beast it is?” Shui Qing Yang, the eighth, asked.

“Can’t tell. It doesn’t seem to be that powerful.” Dai Yi said.

“You’re wrong. That little golden snake? I can tell that it’s aura is different from the average beast from this time.” Shui Qing Yang said. He was naturally more sensitive towards spirit beasts. He was the one who helped them run away from many beasts during the time they were escaping from their pursuers.

“Different from the average beast from this time? If it’s not from this time, does that mean it’s from the past?” That blue clothed male, Tao Hong Sheng, who was the ninth, teased.

After he finished speaking, everyone kept silent and suddenly thought about the possibility.

“No way, right? Could it really?” Tao Hong Sheng cried out.

“Whether or not it is, I don’t know, What I do know is that the pill he gave the snake earlier, was a seven ranked pill.” Kong Ren said.

“Seventh Ranked pill?”

“Although the seventh ranked pill isn’t particularly rare, to be able to feed a seventh ranked pill to a spirit beast means that the person knows how to refine pills, or that the person has an extremely powerful backer. If it’s the latter, then it’s fine, but if it’s the first, then that person…”

Kong Ren didn’t finish his sentence, but they all understood what he meant. They were able to see that, although they didn’t know how old she really was, they could tell that she was really young. If she was the one who refined it, that was too abnormal!”

“Let’s go, let’s take a look at how his diagnosis is going.” Kong Ren left after speaking, and everyone followed him to the living room.

Inside the living room, Ni An Yi was looking anxiously at Sima You Yue. When he saw that she didn’t say anything, he asked, “How is it?”

“Nothing much.” Sima You Yue retracted her hand and said cooly.

“What do you mean nothing much!” Ni An Yi cried out, “Are you a doctor or not!”

“Sixth Bro!” Shi Chen scolded him before he quieted down.

At this moment, the rest of the brothers came in.

“How’s our third brother?” Dai Yi was the first to ask.

Sima You Yue wasn’t anxious. She said with a calm expression, “Do you want the truth or a lie?”

“The truth, of course.” Ni An Yi said without needing to think.

Sima You Yue looked at Kong Ren, saying, “Are you an alchemist or a doctor? If you’re an alchemist, you should know a bit of medicine. You should be familiar with his condition, yes?”

“Yes.” Kong Ren nodded.

“Urgh, just say it!” Dai Yi looked at how Sima You Yue was still keeping them in suspense and urged.

“He won’t live for more than half a year.” Sima You Yue said.

“What are you saying?” The brothers were stunned by her words, and glared at her with hatred. Their murderous intent was palpable.

“Ss ss-” Little Golden Snake spat his tongue out at them, the atmosphere breaking immediately.

“I said, that based on his current condition, he can only live half a year at most.” Sima You Yue said.

“Impossible! He should be able to live for a year!” Kong Ren shouted.

“Tenth Bro, didn’t you say that Third Bro has been getting better and can live for two years?” Dai Yi looked at Kong Ren with disbelief.

Kong Ren blinked as he said bitterly, “But the last time we were attacked, Third Bro used his spirit energy, which was extremely harmful to his body.”

This was why he didn’t have two years anymore.

“Do you know what’s wrong with my third bro?” Hong Wu asked.

“Wasn’t it that he was struck by a cold qi when he was young, then he was unable to cultivate the ice attribute, so his body was eroded by the cold qi?” Sima You Yue said.

Hearing what she said, the brothers started to believe her.This was because she was able to say everything that happened to Shi Chen.

“Although I have no way of knowing how the cold qi came about, you being able to reach this state means that you must have had a fortuitous encounter once.” Sima You Yue said, “It’s a pity though, it’s useless now. It can no longer stop the cold qi inside you. Furthermore, it’s such an ancient one that you won’t be able to use any intense medication to cure it. That’s why you wanted to use the blood of the auspicious beast. The auspicious beast’s blood is of a fire nature, which is suitable for your current condition.”

They believed her words even more, because everything she said was true!

“Cough cough, cough cough…” Shi Chen started coughing again. Kong Ren took out a few pills and fed it to him, but You Yue stopped him.

“Those pills are useless to him.” Sima You Yue said.

“How do you know that?” Kong Ren glared at Sima You Yue, his expression unkind.

“Just ask him. Whether or not eating those pills only stops his coughs temporarily, but makes his chest even more painful and constricting later on.” Sima You Yue was not anxious.

Kong Ren looked at Shi Chen, whose eyes filled with helplessness. He could no longer continue to feed him the pills in his hand.

“Cough cough, cough cough…” Shi Chen’s started to break out in fits of coughing again, as if he was going to cough his lungs out.

Sima You Yue saw that he was coughing really badly, so she took out a bottle of pills, pouring one out and handing it to Kong Ren.

Kong Ren took the pill and sniffed it. Only after ascertaining that it wasn’t any kind of bad pill did he feed it to Shi Chen.

The moment he ate the pill, Shi Chen felt a soothing wave of aura flow down his throat because the coughing and the pain in his chest was relieved by quite a bit.

It had been a long time since he had felt this comfortable. Shi Chen closed his eyes and relished the comfort.

The brothers saw that his countenance had gotten a lot better, and the worry in their heart lessened quite a bit.

“Third Bro, how are you feeling?” Ni An Yi asked.

“Much better.” Shi Chen opened his eyes, but his eyes did not have the relief that came from a relief of his sickness. He looked warily at Sima You Yue, “Now you can tell us why you’re here, right?”
