Fang Lin remained silent, and Han Yinyue didn’t speak either, looking at Fang Lin with a somewhat expectant gaze, fearing any words from him that might disappoint her.

Eventually, Fang Lin spoke: “Sister Han, are you acting out of desperation?” Startled, Han Yinyue immediately let out a bitter smile.

“Consider me desperate,” Han Yinyue said, her voice tinged with bitterness.

Fang Lin sighed, this sigh made Han Yinyue’s heart tighten at once.

“Sister Han, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. But in this vast Qian Country, no one can cure your sister’s eyesight. I’m afraid I’m powerless too,” Fang Lin said solemnly.

Han Yinyue’s hand clenched slightly, “Is there really no way? You have received guidance from a master of the Alchemy Tao, unlike others, perhaps there is a way, but you just haven’t thought of it yet.”

Fang Lin felt a twinge of admiration. Han Yinyue was so protective of her sister to the point that she had come to ask for help from a low-ranking disciple like him, with such a sincere tone, and completely unlike that of a Sect’s heiress.

It wasn’t that Fang Lin didn’t want to help, but that he was really struggling to make a commitment.

He didn’t know the specifics of Han Xiaoxing’s condition. He only knew that she was blind from birth. But knowing only this wasn’t sufficient to determine why she was blind, why it was incurable.

If he rashly made a promise and then found himself helpless, it wasn’t just a matter of losing face. It would also disappoint Han Yinyue, and that was something Fang Lin couldn’t accept.

“Sister Han, if you let me give your sister a careful examination, I might be able to see something,” Fang Lin said at last.

Upon hearing this, Han Yinyue’s face lit up with joy. “That won’t be a problem. I will soon bring Xiaoxing to see you.”

Fang Lin responded with a warm smile. “The bond between you and your sister is truly strong.”

Han Yinyue’s lips curved up in a smile, radiant as a blossoming lotus, exceedingly beautiful.

“When we were young, our father took us to Divine Medicine Sect for medical treatment. We were bullied by the disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect. Xiaoxing fought those disciples to protect me from getting bullied. I wasn’t hurt, but Xiaoxing was badly injured. Since then, I’ve wanted to protect her, always protect her, and ensure she doesn’t get hurt for my sake.” Han Yinyue said softly, seemingly lost in her memories.

Fang Lin remained silent. Both Han Yinyue and Han Xiaoxing were born with defects. Despite being the daughters of the Sect Master, they probably weren’t much happier than ordinary people.

“Sister Han, may I take your pulse?” Fang Lin suddenly asked.

Han Yinyue shook her head, “No need, I am aware of my condition, there’s no solution for my meridian problem.”

Fang Lin responded earnestly, “That’s not true. There is a solution for congenital weak meridians. But I need to take your pulse to determine the specifics.”

Han Yinyue stared at Fang Lin, subconsciously extending her wrist onto the stone table.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Lin gently placed three fingers on Han Yinyue

Han Yinyue remained calm, but there was a slight shyness deep inside her eyes.

After all, physical contact between men and women was not common. Han Yinyue had hardly had any contact with male disciples since she was young. Fang Lin’s fingers on her wrist gave her a strange sensation, stirring her emotions.

Fang Lin, however, was fully focused, taking in the pulse of Han Yinyue.

A person’s pulse fluctuates constantly. By mastering these changes, one can infer what is happening in the body and what problems exist.

Fang Lin closed his eyes and focused all his attention on those three fingers. At this moment, if Han Yinyue were to suddenly attack Fang Lin, she would undoubtedly succeed.

The wind blew, birds flew overhead, and everything around seemed to quiet down.

Han Yinyue felt strangely as if the Fang Lin in front of her didn’t exist at all.

But when she took a closer look, there was Fang Lin, sitting still right there, without any motion.

“Don’t move.” Fang Lin spoke, his tone particularly stern.

Indeed, Han Yinyue had moved a fraction, but upon Fang Lin’s command, she immediately steadied herself.

There was a grave expression on Fang Lin’s face, and it was growing more pronounced. Han Yinyue, however, remained calm as if she had been through all this many times before.

Finally, Fang Lin retracted his hand, and opened his eyes.

“Brother Fang, how is it?” Han Yinyue asked with a smile. Judging by her expression, she didn’t seem to really care about what Fang Lin might say, as if she had merely shot a casual question.

Fang Lin took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before responding, “Sister Han, although I still cannot determine the exact root cause, there is a method to uncover it. Once we find the root cause, I should be able to help solve the problem of your fragile meridians.”

Han Yinyue looked surprised. She had originally thought that Fang Lin would be helpless. Unexpecteldly, he made such a statement. Judging by his tone, it seemed like he truly had a solution for her fragile meridians issue.

“What’s the way to find the root cause?” Han Yinyue asked curiously. She felt a certain excitement stirring within her heart, but there was also some fear of potential disappointment.

Fang Lin looked at Han Yinyue and replied, “There’s a very rare medicinal pill known as the Meridian Cleansing Pill. Once consumed, it can wash the meridians with medicinal power. Once you take this pill, Sister Han, we can find the root cause of your fragile meridians. But…’

He hesitated and didn’t continue, as if he had something difficult to say. Smiling, Han Yinyue said, “Feel free to speak, Brother Fang.”

Fang Lin gave a nod of acknowledgement, “If a normal person takes the

Meridian Cleansing Pill, there wouldn’t be any side effects. But given Sister Han’s fragile meridians, the pill may cause her intense pain, and there might even be a risk to her life.”

Han Yinyue frown slightly. Fang Lin’s concerns were reasonable. Although the Meridian Cleansing Pill didn’t have any side effects, because of Han Yinyue’s own condition, the pill might prove fatal to her.

If she were to consume it rashly, she might end up not finding the root cause and die as a result of her shattered meridians.

This was a risk, and it was taken at the expense of Han Yinyue’s life, all for an uncertain result.

“Brother Fang, do you think I should take the Meridian Cleansing Pill?” Han Yinyue asked.

Fang Lin shook his head, “I just provided my method to you, Sister Han.

Whether to use it or not, is for you to decide. Moreover, taking the Meridian Cleansing Pill is not extremely dangerous. You can also take the Heart Meridian Pill at the same time to protect your heart meridian. Even if your meridians shatter, you won’t die. But the pain of shattered meridians is excruciating and your body might end up in worse condition than it is now.”

Han Yinyue revealed a slight smile, “No worries, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll adopt Brother Fang’s method. Even if something unexpected happens, my condition won’t be worse than it is now.”

Fang Lin looked astonished. Han Yinyue made her decision so decisively, it took him by surprise..
