《You, Me》Chapter 5 Wan Qinxiu
Advertisement
After the last incident at Prime Minister Li's Residence, the wedding between Li Huahua and Lan Shuixin was halted. In half a year, the groom was swapped to Crown Prince Lan Moxin. A lot of rumors have been going on for the last half a year of that incident. Though many felt like Li Huahua had escaped a doom wedding with a crippled, many felt bad for Prince Lan Shuixin. Although he is such an ethereal being with such handsome face and good quality, however, in the end, the beauty had gone to waste as he now a waste, but many still respected him.
Half a year as passed, it is finally the wedding of Crown Prince Lan Moxin and Li Huahua. The Heaven Realm was decorated and were filled with festive activities throughout the realm. Not just the Heaven Realm was celebrating, the Human Realm was also celebrating as well. The news was spread all over even the Dark Realm caught news of it as well, but no one in Dark Realm would celebrate such thing.
In Lan Shuixin's yard, there sat an ethereal being in white robes with a white blind fold across the face. He did not attend the wedding, but instead, he stay in his yard as he find no point in going over when he is blind and cannot see already. In such a festive day, he seem to be the only one whom is not enjoying such day. It was like a slap in the face to be dump and humiliate by a woman that he does not even like. Such bad luck can only befall on him and he can only blame himself.
Wang Xiaomi walk in through the courtyard to him and bow respectfully, "Shifu, disciple is here to keep you accompany. I don't like such festive especially coming from a fake person like Li Huahua." Though she is from a respectable family, she only watch her language when it comes to others, but around her master and parents, she does not care about etiquettes. She does not like to be fake and pretentious like Li Huahua.
Lan Shuixin half smiles, "Wang Xiaomi, there is no need to keep calling me Shifu as we have not done the disciple and master ceremony." He feel displease to keep hearing her call him Shifu as he have not taught her much. He was in the process of accepting her as a disciple, but before they can even hold the cermony of him accepting a disciple, she was injured already and he have crippled himself then not long after, also lost his eyesight. He does not want other people to call her having a useless master so it is better to stop her when it is still early. It will not be in her favor when other people find out a crippled was her master. She reaches him and sit on a chair beside him. She smiles happily and said, "Okay, your highness!" She emphasize it slowly playfully, "Happy?" Wang Xiaomi wore a white robe with a white gauze jacket covering her shoulders. Her hair long black, silky, and shiny hair was let down and fell to her knee. Her upper hair had a crescent moon hairstyle that shaped like a crescent moon. She also had on a simple white hairpin with dangling on the side making her look even more ethereal.
Lan Shuixin's expression did not change much but did have a better pleasing look, "That's better. Let's go out of the palace to Earth Realm to enjoy this festive event. Let's not bottle ourselves up at home." He said as if he was not asking her but more of a command. Yanyan came with Wang Xiaomi and was going to disagree since it is not very proper, "Miss we shouldn't leave without master and furan's consent." Wang Xiaomi thinks and said, "It's ok I have you and I will also cover my face with this hat," she said grabbing a gauze hat from behind. Seems like she was already ready to go out but hid her agenda from her maids. She added, "Shifu I mean... Your highness I brought one for you too!" She exclaims feeling excited. She was already going to suggest taking Lan Shuixin out on a festive but gloomy day for him to cheer him up. She help fix the hat on Lan Shuixin's head and cover his handsome face with the gauze then she puts hers on. They were both wearing white equally pretty and handsome. Yanyan can do nothing but sigh and follow them. Wang Xiaomi only knows the basic martial arts, but she really has no qi or powers as she was injured afterward cutting off her martial arts path. She wanted to excel in a little martial arts and powers to protect herself beside being a filial daughter and only learn what women should learn. She wanted to truly protect herself and people around her.

With the help of Lan Shuixin's personal bodyguard Hu Yi, they were able to arrive to Earth Realm safely. Upper Realm is the Heavenly Realm, the middle realm where human resides is Earth Realm, while the demons are in Dark Realm. There were three different worlds trying to coexist, but of course at times wars are inevitable. Hu Yi tags along with them knowing that his master is now powerless so he wanted to protect them, but instead of wearing black, he wore black robes which looks more pleasing than just covering himself in black including his face. His looks was decent, but definitely not as appealing as Lan Shuixin. Wang Xiaomi stroll her master not allowing her maid Yanyan or Hu Yi do it. She feels like it is safer if she takes care of Lan Shuixin herself.
They arrived in Chang'an at dusk. The sky are getting darker on the streets, but the capital is filled with lights and red lanterns for the festive events. Many couples, families, men, and women were outside taking a stroll. In this event, lovers meet up and did not keep their distance. Etiquettes weren't as strict in such a holiday or event. Lovers were allow to meet, restaurants were opened late at night, and there are even boats in the river flowing through the capital in the moats.
On the streets that they are on, they boarded a small boat taking them on a tour of the capital. On both sides are shops, red lanterns, and many buildings. On such days, red light districts are even more busier than normal days as its a happy events welcoming love and a new beginning. Many women can be seen standing outside trying to welcome and lead in male customers. The building were 2 to 3 story high very busy. High bridges were formed in various parts of the rivers that they passed through. Wang Xiaomi saw and turn to look away blushing as this is not a place people should wander into. Their boat went at a very slow pace and they looks around the city enjoying the view.
As they were enjoying the beautiful views in the city, there seems to be a commotion going on. A long line was formed on the bridge and civilians were looking toward a faraway luxurious boat. They turned to the commotion as they heard voices pointing to a faraway boat. "LOOK! That's Physician Wan! He is so handsome!" Many people exclaims in shock and excitement.
"Next to him is also the number 1 swordsman Mo Qingfeng from Qingyun Sect!"
"And look! That's the beautiful daughter of Sect Leader Mo Qingfan, Mo Qingyan !" Mo Qinyun wore a pink robe with a white jacket over her rober. Her hair was in a neat braid to the side leaving her front bangs. Each steps she takes, she looks like a fairy walking out from a painting especially such fair, smooth, flawless skin she has. When she smiles, a dimple can be seen on her right side of the cheek. Mo Qingfeng and Physician Wan were both male so they sat opposite of Mo Qingyan and facing her. Mo Qingfeng wore a blue robe wearing a blue crown up in a ponytail looking very handsome and ethereal especially with a cool temper, the blue makes added to his coolness makes him look even more handsome and mysterious. Compare to his coolness aura, Physician Wan wore red robes and had half of his face covered with a gold mask making him look even more mysterious. He looks very seductive especially with red. His hair was in a lazy way half up with a red crown and half down. His hair was long, sleek, and straight to his knee making him look even more beautiful. Many admires his looks so much. Men and women seems to fall into a dream when they look at this being making them feel like he is a complicated being and very dangerous to be around. even though he looks so handsome and hard to look the other way, he always have that unapparoachable aura that make men fear him.

His status as a physician was well known throughout Chang'an. Whomever he treated will always gets better regardless of what illness they have. Rumors of him having the ability to bring the dead have spread far and wide in a short amount of time. He was quite new to the place and only had started to be popular recently because he was able to treat a patient whom no doctors were able to treat. That was when people look at him differently and started having more customers frequently. Mostly are women as they found him so handsome and enjoy his company.
As people were excited looking at the three of them, Lan Shuixin's boat has almost caught to theirs. Seems like the ferry man wanted to see them up closely and couldn't wait to catch up with their boat. The night was beautiful with tons of lanterns and lotus lights floating around in the river. Wang Xiaomi ask the ferry man, "Sir, can you please slow down? We do not want to have any accident." She said feeling complicated. She do not want to get in trouble or upsets the masters in the luxurious boat. Then as she speaks, people started looking at their boat as the speed is going at a faster pace toward the luxurous conspicuous boat. People looks at their silly small boat in disdain as if their boat is ruining a bueaitufl scene.
Suddenly, the small boat collide to big conspicuous boat, "Ahhh!" Wang Xiaomi was about to lose balance and tip over, but before she fell, she felt a grip on her waist pulling her back, it was Lan Shuixin's grasp. He can feel the boat swaying dangerously and kept a close attention to Wang Xiaomi. Wang Xiaomi fell into his lap involuntarily, embarrassed, she quickly stand up and held onto the wheelchair and blushed, "Thank you your highness..." She bit her bottom lips as she blushes.
"What's wrong? Why did you collide to our boat?" A cool voice can be heard asking them. Wang Xiaomi looks up and saw Mo Qingfeng, Mo Qingyan, and Physician Wan looking their way waiting for a reply. Their looks doesn't seem to be mocking them but more of a confusing look. Yanyan was a maid so she feel it is more appropriate for her to answer them. She raise her head up and reply, "We do not know why but this ferry man that we hired collide to your boat and we do not know why he does that." She turn to look, but then she notice the ferry man was long gone, "He was here just now, but-" She had a lost for word, "Where is he?"
Suddenly, Lan Shuixin feel like something is off and so he warn, "Hu Yi! Get us to the shore!" He commanded. "Ye-" Before Hu Yi can say another word, the boat was tipped from the bottom sent everyone flying out of the boat. Loud splashes of the boat can be seen and heard in slow motion. Wang Xiaomi was shock, if she fall into the water, her reputation will be ruin especially with a man. She really thought she was doom, but before she fell into the water once more, she felt a hand grip on waist again. She closed her eyes tightly not opening, but when she does, she found herself safe and sound in the luxurious boat and was in the man in red's embrace. She blushes and lets go immediately. Then she remembers Lan Shuixin. She turn around and saw Lan Shuixin safe and sound. Mo Qingfeng was the one whom caught Lan Shuixin as the boat tipped over while Hu Yi helped carry Yanyan to the luxurious boat. The boat man was trying to assassinate Mo Qingfeng, but before he can succeed, he did not know what hits him, but he fell back into the water and drowned along with the boat. Everyone just look at the scene in awe. They can't even tell whom was the one whom finished off the boat man, everything was so fast that they cannot catch a glimpse of what's happening. Everyone just take a breath in relief as nothing happened to the people below.
Lan Shuixin has trouble standing up as he have not stand for a long period of time in a long time. He didn't realize but both his hat and Wang Xiaomi's hats came off when the boat tipped over, what remain was the white piece of cloth on his face covering his eyes. He was about to fall due to weakness in the leg, but was caught by Physician Wan in red. He have a very seductive look especially the eyes, very captivating, "What is the matter?" He question calmly as he caught a hold of Lan Shuixin one arm on the arm and one arm on his waist. Onlookers yelled and exclaim in fury at the scene. Many women wished to be held by his hands, but in the end a man was being held by him which upsets many women. They have admired him for a long time and failed to be recognized by him. Seeing him near other women or touched anyone, they will look at that person in disdain in disgust. If they can get one look from him, it can satisfy them for days. He seems to be enjoying the scene in his eyes.
Lan Shuixin just now realized he lost his wheelchair, "My wheelchair..." Then he backs away from Physician Wan keeping a distance, "Thank you for your help." They are both men and it is even more inappropriate if rumors were to get out and reach his father's ears. He kept his distance. He reach his hand out, "Hu Yi!" Hu Yi ran to him and catch a hold of his hands and helped him up. Qingyan looks at Lan Shuixin and asks, "What is wrong with him?" She found him quite pleasing to the eyes, but realized he is a blind man.
Wang Xiaomi looks at the situation they are in and is afraid of getting into trouble. She figured perhaps they should leave then she turn to bow, "Thank you for saving our lives, however, we are just here for a stroll but came upon such accident, we apologize for disturbing you we shall get going." She smiles at them giving them her bow. Mo Qingfeng looks at her and was amaze how beautiful she looks when the hat reveal her face. She was the most beautiful girl he ever saw in his life. He just couldn't keep his eyes off of her and by the way she present herself, she is definitely not a commoner. He smiles sizing her up, "It is of no problem, miss... how should I address you?" He ask wanting to know her name. He wanted to find her again he wanted to see her again.
"You can call me Wang Xiaomi, Xiaomi is good enough," she explains letting them call her by her first name excluding her last name, "Hope we meet again." She smiles showing her teeth. She was about to turn around and walk away when the handsome clad in red ask, "Why don't you come to my place for a visit? Perhaps, I have just the right gift for you on such an occasion," he invited them with a lazy tone and seems more like a sexy grin, "I am a doctor, perhaps this is fate." He went back to slowly fanning his handsome face waiting for a pleasant reply.
Mo Qingyan turn to ask Physician Wan, "Why did you agree to help a stranger?" Physician Wan shook his head, "It is fate that we meet, don't you agree so?" He just return her question with another question. Mo Qingfeng smiles and agrees with Physician Wan. He wants to see that beautiful face more. He does not care who or what she is, he wants to spend more time with Wang Xiaomi. "We will come with you." He also wants to make sure Physician Wan is safe as well since they were good buddies. Mo Qingyan had no choice but to follow suit. She found her brother kept looking at Wang Xiaomi non-blinking and she felt annoyed. Displeasure was shown in her eyes as if she does not want Wang Xiaomi there. She wanted to be the only beauty beside handsome men so she can be the center of attention, but now she feel like the spot light has been taken away by Wang Xiaomi so she looks at them with disdain. She did not expect to meet anyone along the trip outside of Qing Yun sect, which was located in the highest peak of Qing Yun Mount.
Wang Xiaomi feels unwelcome when she glance over at Mo Qingyan. She did not want to disturb them, but for the sake of Lan Shuixin she agreed, "Okay!" She turns to Lan Shuixin and begs, "Let's go okay? Maybe... there can be hope for you there even if you can't revive your powers, as long as you can see it is still good too." She begs Lan Shuixin in a pouting and cute way. She did not want to use the 'your highness' outside in Earth Realm, she wanted them to keep a low profile to not arouse any commotion or danger. She tugs on Lan Shuixin's sleeve softly and in an elegant way like a noble lady would. Mo Qingfeng was drawn to her even more watching how cute she can be. Mo Qingyan looks away angrily and annoyed.
Lan Shuixin find no way to refuse the offer especially Wang Xiaomi still have hope hearing upon such invitation. He sigh and slowly nod his head, "Alright... but not for long or else my father will know I'm not home." He commands, "Hu Yi, assist me, I will try to walk." He didn't want to walk ever since he lost his eyesight. He tried but tripped so much that he gave up finding himself to be a joke in his own yard that really saddens him. He was losing hope. Even though he knew he is incurable, he decided to agree to Wang Xiaomi's request to make her see for herself to lose hope so next time she won't have her hopes up. He does not want her to have hope the more hope she has the deeper it hurts when all fail.
Physician Wan smirks lazily with joy, "Alright, let's go to my home... it is a small place, but do not underestimate my ability," he warns. Their boat started taking a turn away from the capital rowing out of the capital toward the Mount Gao Shan. It is a mount across from Mount Qing Yun, but was even higher than Mount Qing Yun. Mount Qing Yun and Mount Gao Shan were only separated by a river in the middle and they are located northwest of Chang'an. Up above in each 1000 meter high was a woode bridge connected by huge rope connecting the two mountain. Physician Wan rarely comes to the capital for treatment, thus it was really hard for people to catch a sight of him, feeling regretful that that night he did not stay long. He do have guests, but they must make the trip up the mountain, which is steep and high with rocky cliffs. It can be deadly especially when tripping or having a misstep, people can die there without anyone noticing since the mount was deep with one fall then you're basically over. Not many wants to take such risk and prefer waiting til he visits the capital.
They reaches the entrance of Mount Gao Shan. Wang Xiaomi, Yanyan, and Hu Yi looks at the steep Rocky Mountain in awe. How can there be people living in such steep mountains? Not to mention climbing, it's almost impossible to climb! Yanyan was dumbfounded, "Miss, do we really have to climb this mountain?" She shook her head, "It is impossible to even climb! It will take ages to reach the summit! I'm not going," Yanyan said not interest in going up. It was definitely dangerous and if they were to climb it's impossible.
Physician Wan chuckles after a while he stops and said, "Of course the mountain is impossible to climb. I've set up an array here and if I cast an array spell, it will send u up there in an instant." He said leading them to array symbol at the entrance. It was a big circle with writing and if a teleportation spell was cast, it will send them up right away. Yanyan sigh in relieved that she didn't need to climb. Lan Shuixin finds it odd. Not many people in Earth Realm is a genius. This really broaden his horizon. He finds Physician Wan quite an interesting person and he feel like he have tons of secrets that cannot be told, but he does not want to know a stranger who means nothing to him. He prefer to go separate ways after this meeting. He wants nothing to do with these people as he feel like they have hidden agendas. He did not show any expression in his face. He slowly walk to the array as Hu Yi continues assisting him slowly. Wang Xiaomi follows suit and kept quiet, but she noticed Mo Qingfeng's eyes have not left her four a second. She does not understand why she is being watch or perhaps, he is keeping watch to make sure she don't do anything suspicious. She just stays close to Lan Shuixin and helps his other side as she cannot shake Mo Qingfeng's gaze off of her. She was uncomfortable so she decided to help Hu Yi holding onto Lan Shuixin's other arm.
Mo Qingfeng realized she is keeping her distance. He blushes realizing he stare at her for way too long that causes discomfort. He was speechless and decided perhaps he should stop looking for the time being. He needs to stop being a freak. Mo Qingyan didn't wait for her brother, she already stood next to Physician Wan being close to him as waiting for others to get to the array. She cannot stand her brother's weird attitude toward Wang Xiaomi and just want to be close to Physician Wan. When everyone got inside the array, Physician Wan started chanting an array spell, and in an instant, the array started glowing and in no time, they were transported up the mountain to the array at the summit of the mountain.
Around them were a waterfall in the rocky cliff and lie a tiny wooden house. It was indeed small but too big for a one person. The residence only has about 5 rooms in total and it is not too luxury or shabby. It has a beautiful scenery and if one reaches such paradise, they wouldn't want to go anywhere. At the bottom, lie rocks and sharp steep cliff shrouded in white fogs making the place seems like only a celestial being can live in such peaceful place. In this place, you can enjoy sunrise and sunset like a dream. Everyone was in awe including Mo Qingfeng and Mo Qingyan. Though they were his friend, they never actually visit his place before and couldn't believe there is such a paradise even more pretty than their Mount Qing Yun. "Come inside," Physician Wan's calm and cool voice can be heard from the entrance opening the door as they enjoyed the scenery in awe. It was now nighttime and thousands of stars can be seen and the moon was big as if you can step on the moon even if you want to. If you reach out for the moon, you may just be able to grab the moon in the background.
Everyone went in his residence, and headed to his headquarter where he receive guests. He looks at them and said, "I am sorry my place is definitely too small for guests." He sigh. He had no maids, so he have to actually serve them tea. They were quite amaze how he was able to live by himself in such a deserted place. Mo Qingfeng exclaims, "Brother Wan, I didn't know you live in such a paradise. If I knew you live so close, I'd definitely come to keep you accompany more! This place is definitely better than my Qing Yun courtyard," he sighs, "Now you make me wants to move here. This scenery is like a heaven paradise no scenery can beat this small paradise." He still could not believe his eyes witnessing such scenery in his entire life.
Physician Wan chuckles happily, "Brother Mo, don't tease me. I just have a small yard, it's not quite to your liking. I like desolate, quiet, and peacefulness I am not sure if you can live a quiet life. Once you move over, you will definitely miss the rowdy place like Chang'an and Mount Qing Yun." He made himself sound so humble. He and Physician Wan laughs at the same time. Lan Shuixin breaks the friendly conversation, "Physician Wan, shall we get to the point? I am afraid I do not have much time to be wasted and must get going home soon." He wanted to rush realizing it is already dark and it is not a good thing for Wang Xiaomi to stay out late at night.
Physician looks at him and said lazily, "You can call me Wan Qinxiu, whichever is to your liking," then he looks at Lan Shuixin, "How should I address you?"
"Lan Shuixin," Lan Shuixin reply not thinking much of his name. It is alright to let them know his name.
Physician Wan chuckles. His eyes seem to be smiling in excitement and gesture his hand out as he moves closer to Lan Shuixin to feel his pulse on his wrist, "Let me check your pulse." Lan Shuixin hand him his hand and he started feeling his pulse. Wan Qinxiu's hand was cold with no sign of warmth, it took Lan Shuixin by surprised. He have never met such a cold person which seem so abnormal. Wan QInxiu nods his head as in agreeing to whatever he was thinking, "I see... you're crippled and also blind, but it is curable," he said it flat out. Lan Shuixin feels shock inside because his diagnose was right on dot, but what do he mean by its curable? Many doctors were unable to cure him, but how can he say he can? He does not want to believe it. It sounds too good to be true. Wan Qinxiu smirks, "Seems like you don't believe I can cure you." He sounded displease but said coquettishly, "Seeing you have such a handsome face, it will be a loss if you were to be crippled." His word makes Mo Qingfeng, Mo QIngyan, Hu Yi, Yanyan, and Wang Xiaomi's jaw drop in surprised. Is he flirting?! He is a man and is he flirting with Lan Shuixin??! It makes them feel so awkward hearing it.
"Uh..." Mo Qingfeng stutters, "Brother Wan ah... You-!" He couldn't finish his sentence. Wan Qinxiu laughs, "What? I can't compliment my client? You think too much." Though it seems like a joke, it's hard to tell if its a compliment or if he really meant it. Wan Qinxiu removes his hand away and said calmly back to business, "I have a medicine to cure your broken limbs and dan tian, you will feel much more relieved after taking this concocted pill I just made many days ago. I didn't think I'd put it into use so fast, but seems like we are fated to meet and I am fated to help you." He takes out a luxurious small box and a small black pill was kept inside safely. "Take it and I assure you once you've taken it, you will feel much better. It is better to experience it yourself than to hear my nonsense, but all I can say is... You only need 3 pills to be completely heal. I will never heal anyone if it is beyond my capability," he assure Lan Shuixin his confidence.
Lan Shuixin was stunned, only three pills to be completely cure??! It really is too good to be true, he had his thoughts to himself but on the surface, he kept a calm face. He ask, "Are there any side effect?" He do not think such good medicine will come without any flaw. Wan Qinxiu thinks and open his eyes wide raising his right index finger, "There is one," then he turns away and put his palm on his mouth and coughs, "But I've never tried it on any patient since no patient is like you so you will be the first to experience it. You can let me know so I can improve on it," he chuckles happily, "To try or not to try is up to you." He had on a evil smirk.
Lan Shuixin's heart was like he'd fallen to an abyss that has never seen the light since the day he have fallen into the dark pit. Now he is going to be a guinea pig? He don't know if its his good luck or bad luck to meet such a weird and rare stranger whose willing to help him but at the same time use him as a test subject. He was not pleased to hear such statement from Wan Qinxiu. Wang Xiaomi did not have to think, she shook her head, "If even you do not know the side effect, I will not allow Lan Shuixin try such medicine. If anything were to happen to him again, I would probably lose my head." She hardens her heart and was very mad to hear such jokes from the handsome man, "We do not want to be your guinea pigs you can forget about it." Her voice sounded displeased. She turns to Lan Shuixin, "Shifu, let's leave."
As soon as she says that, Mo Qingfeng and Mo Qingyan was surprised, shifu?! Mo Qingfeng was quite pleased to hear her calling him master so he did not have to worry about Lan Shuixin getting in the way if he were to be interested in her. "I told you not to call me master, we are not master and disciple," Lan Shuixin reprimanded her. He somehow, felt trouble. He gets even more upset hearing this from her knowing he have never done his part as a master. He swallow his pride and agreed to the term, "I agree to try," his voice sounded calm like the spring breeze from the ocean waves the calms people's heart. Wang Xiaomi looks at him with a worried look and shook, "I am sorry, please don't take such an unknown medicine. Let me try it first and if there is really nothing then you can take it."
Wan Qinxiu interrupted, "Unfortunately, for people whom is completely fine whom take this pill will suffere from qi deviation and die, so you cannot take it. You are healthy and cannot take such toxic medication. This medication is toxic but also cure." At the last part, he emphasize it carefully to her warning her. She was stuck at a loss for word. Lan Shuixin signal Hu Yi to take Wang Xiaomi and Yanyan outside to wait for him. Hu Yi pull Yanyan and Wang Xiaomi out of the room.
Mo Qingfeng walks to Wang Xiaomi and comforted her, "Miss Wang, please do not worry. With Brother Wan's ability, if he is not confident, he would not give such medication to Lan Shuixin. Please calm down everything will be fine." Mo Qingyan chuckles happily, "How can such a damsel in mistress know of Brother Wan's ability. He is the best of the best when it comes to medication and poison. In this whole world no one can surpass his medical skills. If he is not confident, he will never invite them to his home." She think so highly of herself as she praises Wan Qinxiu. She added, "The whole capital knows Brother Wan's ability even he can bring an almost dead person back to life." She looks at Wang Xiaomi in a mocking way.
Wang Xiaomi did not think much of it. She heard their praises of Wan Qinxiu and feels much more relief hearing their statements. It calms her down, but she was still worry. She had no other choice but to trust in Physician Wan's ability.
They left leaving Lan Shuixin and Wan Qinxiu in the headquarter alone. Wan Qinxiu's look was so calm. He observe Lan Shuixin slowly and nods his head as in agreeing to himself, "You sure is handsome, the most handsome I've seen in this realm." He repeated, "It will be a waste if you remain crippled, so think of it as I am doing charity work to help you." He reaches inside his sleeve and brought out the size of three finger box out with the black medication pill inside, "Here..." He handed to Lan Shuixin, "With just this one, I can assure you that you won't be a crippled no more... however," he reminded, "as for the side effect, I am not sure... I was not kidding about this part." He handed the box to Lan Shuixin and went back to sit in a lazy manner, "After this, you can come see me again next month for the second pill." He give the instruction, "Once you swallow this pill, make sure you channel your qi to all your limbs and cores. You will be able to walk again and can start cultivating your martial arts again, but as for your eyes... I'm afraid it will have to heal by itself..." He sigh in regret, "Unfortunately, your eyes has no illness, but more like a lost of soul or hope that is disconnecting your vision from this world which is indeed rare especially coming from a living person. Why are you so ready to see the dusk of light?" He asks in a tone Lan Shuixin cannot understand. It sounded like a voice in despair tone, yet it's not.
Lan Shuixin was at a loss for words. He does not understand his statement it is as if he was saying his eyes gave up on him because he lost all hope. He felt is quite weird and awkward not knowing if it is real of what he just said or not. How did he counter such incident? He never thought of losing hope, he just feel very dejected when he thought Wang Xiaomi died because of him. Could this be the cause? But now she is fine, how come he still cannot see? He shook, it can't be. He just kept silence. He swallow the pill and sit in a crisscross position and follow Wan Qinxiu's instruction earlier and to his surprise, he feel much more energetic. His qi in his dantian was back and he can channel his qi to his limbs and he can feel his legs and arms more vividly as if he have just been reborn. He seems to be engrossing with tons of powers.
After some time of meditation channeling and controlling his powers and qi, he felt much better. He can stand now, but he is still blind, but it is more convenient he can walk now. He was happy. He will take one step at a time it's alright if he cannot see, he will see one day if it is the will that he is lacking, he is sure he will feel the will one day.
The door open and walk out Lan Shuixin with Wan Qingxiu's assistance as he is still blind. Wang Xiaomi ran to Lan Shuixin, "Lan Shuixin!" She looks at him worriedly but she realized he looks quite different and seems like he can walk just fine now. She was shock and couldn't believe her eyes. "It's too great to be true!" She exclaims in excitement. Hu Yi hurriedly went to grab Lan Shuixin and size him up, "Master, you're alright!" He did not want to reveal his status thus calling him master instead. He quickly turn to bow to Wan Qinxiu, "Thank you so much! If there is ever a time you needed help, please do not be afraid to ask! I thank you on behalf of my master!" He kowtow three times on the ground in front of the entrance of his doorstep.
Wan Qinxiu helps Hu Yi up, "Him having a loyal disciple like you is already his good luck no need to thank me." He is pleased to hear his praise. Mo Qingyan snorted, "I told you to not worry. With Brother Wan's ability nothin can go wrong." Mo Qingfeng reprimanded her, "Qingyan, stop with that attitude of yours! It is not nice if father find out you're rude to outsiders, you will get punish at the ancestral hall." He was trying to scare his sister to not behave wildly and rudely to others. Mo Qingyan hmph the other way and went silent. She walks away feeling angry at his brother for protecting outsiders just because he's interested in the beauty. She ignores them from here on.
Wan Qinxiu brought out a cane made of polished woods out of the thin air and handed to Lan Shuixin, "This is a cane I made for the special patient and you happened to be the special patient I was waiting for." His voice sounded elegant and pleasing to the ears, "This is my gift to you." He made sure Lan Shuixin can feel the rod in his hand before retracting his hands. Lan Shuixin turn to his direction and bow respectfully, "Thank you Brother Wan. You not only heal me you also gifted me a present I feel very ashamed as I have nothing to give you. I can only give you silvers when I returned."
Wan Qinxiu shook his head, "I do not need silvers. As I said, this is our meeting gift," he grins. Hu Yi held Lan Shuixin and said, "Master... we have to go back I am sure by now your father knows." He reminded Lan Shuixin of the grave troubles they will be in if they were caught to go out to Earth Realm. Lan Shuixin agree and bow his farewell, "I will have to go first, we will meet again Brother Wan and Brother Mo."
After they bid their farewell, Wan Qinxiu send them all back to the entrance of Mount Gao Shan and they all left separating ways. Hu Yi took them back to the Heaven Realm after Mo Qingfeng and Mo Qingyan left by boat. They disappear into thin air.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
