"What do you mean?" I was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Then, Li Meiyu began to tell me about her other special condition. Every time she helped others find the right path, it would cost her lifespan. Today's "cheat" had cost her another sixteen months of lifespan. In addition to the previous few times, she only had a little more than a year left to live. Moreover, there was a very important point. From now on, Li Meiyu couldn't use her special ability again. Otherwise, she would die. "Uh …" I didn't know how to comfort her.
"Uh …" For a moment, I didn't know how to comfort her. In fact, I had experienced this personally. At that time, Curator Du told me that the warriors chosen by the power of darkness couldn't live past the age of 20 unless they reached the realm of Transforming Strength Master before that. At that time, my martial arts attainment wasn't too high. I only felt immense pressure. After all, in Nanyun, a Transforming Strength Master was already an existence that could cover the sky with one hand. Whether it was Old Ouyang or Curator Du, they were both old people. They had to accumulate their strength for many years to reach such a high level. What I needed to do was to catch up with them in less than two years.
For me at that time, it was undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge. Although I was filled with indignation and sighed, "My fate is up to me, not the Heavens." At that time, I felt that my future was dark.
However, I didn't give up. After all the ups and downs along the way, I had an amazing growth and improvement, and my vision had long jumped out of Nan Yun.
Now that this kind of thing happened to Li Meiyu, I inexplicably sympathized with her. At this age, she shouldn't have such troubles. However, fate made fools of people. In fact, I understood that what Li Meiyu told me was the highest level of secret of the Li family. Outsiders only knew that Li Meiyu had a special ability, but they didn't know the pain, so they thought that Li Meiyu could help warriors countless times.
From the perspective of the Li family, they naturally wouldn't spread this matter. On one hand, Li Meiyu's existence could greatly increase the family's prestige. On the other hand, they could maintain a sense of mystery, which could also attract the attention of the martial arts sects. After all, Li Meiyu was a real wonder woman in Jianghu.
However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Li Meiyu didn't have the chance to contact the martial arts sects before she encountered such an unforeseen event. In other words, that assassin sacrificed Li Meiyu's youth for his own benefit.
"Do you remember what that guy looks like?"
I clenched my fists, and a nameless anger surged in my heart. Even though Li Meiyu was rude to me before, she was still only fourteen years old. Just like she said, I couldn't expect her to like me. To be honest, I wasn't that much of a beast to fall for a fourteen year old loli.
Li Meiyu shook her head and said, "He has been masked the whole time. It was the same last time. I only found out from the sound that it was the same person both times."
"Well, that's a headache. Anyway, Zhong Yuchen is still responsible. No matter what happened, he couldn't ignore you. From this point alone, it's enough to show that he doesn't care about you very much. If he was there, the assassin wouldn't have been able to run amok."
I didn't feel good. Of course, this was just a way to persuade Li Meiyu. Once an assassin decided on something, no matter how difficult it was, they would wait for the right opportunity to act.
In any case, I had come into contact with Leng Yue and Gu Lang, so I understood their personalities quite well.
It could only be said that a tall tree attracts the wind. Li Meiyu's special ability brought her far more trouble than glory.
Li Meiyu remained silent and prepared to drink again. I directly grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't drink anymore. Things have already come to this point. Even if you drink until your stomach perforates, it won't change anything."
Li Meiyu's body trembled, and she said pitifully, "But I don't know what else I can do besides drinking."
She slightly struggled, but I didn't intend to let go. This made Li Meiyu's pretty face turn red, and she didn't dare to look at me.
"Big brother Zhuang Feng, don't be a hooligan!" She lightly snorted and said shyly.
"You think too much. I'm not that kind of person. I'll take your pulse now. Don't forget, besides my identity as a martial artist, my medical skills are also passable." I said seriously.
Seeing my serious expression, Li Meiyu just generously took my pulse.
After a round of examination, I found that her meridians were very strange. Just as I was about to examine her Dantian, I suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness. It was as if my entire body was immersed in an icehouse. Moreover, at this moment, I felt a sense of danger and quickly withdrew my hand.
"What's wrong, Big brother Zhuang Feng?"
Li Meiyu saw my startled expression, and a flash of craftiness appeared in her eyes. Since I was in a daze, I didn't notice it.
"Your situation is indeed a bit complicated."
At this moment, my heart was in a state of turmoil. I didn't understand why Li Meiyu's body had such a power. Didn't they say that she didn't have the ability to practice martial arts?
Even with my current tyrannical physique, I couldn't resist that kind of cold power. It was really terrifying. I didn't know where to start. After all, acupuncture was all about the right medicine. I hadn't even started to diagnose, and I already encountered trouble.
However, I was sure that this cold power might be the root cause of Li Meiyu's inability to practice martial arts, and it might also affect her lifespan.
No, no, before I was completely sure, I couldn't blindly help her. Otherwise, it would backfire and I would also suffer. If the cold power backfired on me, I would definitely not be able to get away with it.
I should ask Grandmaster Chen or Pavilion Master Sui later. They knew more than me.
"Just now, it was as if you got an electric shock, and your body was rapidly cooling down. It really scared me." Li Meiyu said with a smack of her lips. She had a look of lingering fear.
"Uh …" I scratched my head and laughed dryly. I didn't explain the specific reason.
