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 .

“So what happened to Yuan Yuan?”
“If I’m not wrong, she had been attacked by something inside the violet water Swamp . ” Sima You said .
“Spirit Beast? What kind of spirit Beast will do this?” Due Ring thought over it for a moment . She couldn’t think which spirit beast would give this kind of effect and was rather confused .
Sima You Yue stood up and said: “Mirage worm, it’s a kind of transparent, small worm that is smaller than the size of a sesame seed . It’s a mental based spirit worm, and whoever is bitten by it will enter a kind of fantasy, never to wake up . He will merely look like he is sleeping . Inside the fantasy, it’s all beautiful dreams, so whoever is bitten ends up looking serene, constantly smiling . How long has she been asleep?”
“Ten days . Why?”
“For those who are bitten by the Mirage worm, if they do not retain consciousness in half a month, they will never be able to wake up . She’s still alright, she hasn’t passed the time . She can still be saved . ” Sima You Yue said .
“Then can you save her?”
“I can’t do it right now . ” Sima You Yue shook her head, “I have no way to perform acupuncture with my body like this . You can tell the teacher about her condition . The teachers will definitely know how to solve it . They just didn’t know the cause back then, so it ended up like this . ’
“What if the teacher cannot cure her?” Xue Rong said anxiously .
“If she’s still like this after four days, come look for me again . I should have healed by then . ” Sima You Yue said .
“Okay . Thank you very much for coming today . ” Xue Rong said earnestly .
“I can’t help much with my body like this . ” Sima You Yue said
“You managed to figure out the cause . This is already a huge help . ” Xue Rong said, “We will go and look for a teacher to help . If she is still not well by that time, we will still have to ask you for help . ”
*Alright . If it’s not healed by then, just look for me in Parting Garden . ”
“You’re not well . Let me send you back . ”
“Thank you…”
When those outside saw that Xue Rong and Sima You Yue had come out after only a short moment, they thought that she didn’t know how to cure her, and their faces fell even more .
Xue Rong saw the way they were acting when she came back and asked, “Why do you guys look even more crestfallen than before?”
“Even though You Yue is a doctor, and has been so praised by Teacher Ge, he’s still rather young . It’s normal that he wouldn’t be able to find out the reason why . ”
“Sigh, I even had such hopes . But now I’m even more disappointed . ”
“It’s just a pity that we lost another bit of hope . ”
“I told you that looking for him would be pointless . ”
“What are you guys mumbling and muttering about?’ Xue Rong walked over and told Ma Bo Joan, “Let’s go look for a teacher and tell him what You Yue said . See if we can figure something out . ”
“What? Did You Yue say something?”

“Yeah . He found out the reason why Yuan Yuan fell unconscious . It’s just that he’s injured right now and can’t save her . He told me to tell the teacher the cause of her ailment and to see if the teacher could do anything about it . ” Xue Rong said, “come with me . We’ll look for a teacher . ”
“Okay . ”
The both of them casually informed the rest of their group before heading off to look for a teacher .
“Hey, that Sima You Yue only went in for a short moment, but was able to figure out the reason why? Is he that great?” That small guy from before daren’t believe it, and felt as if it was too unreal .
*I told you, You Yue is really great . ”
“Didn’t you say you were disappointed just now?”
“Ah? Did I? There’s no way I said that!”
The teacher who had previously taken a look at Yuan Yuan came out from the alchemy room as Xue Rong and Ma Bo Jian came forward .
“Teacher Xu . ” Xue Rong came forward and bowed towards Teacher Xu .
“Xue Rong?” Teacher Xu saw the both of them and thought that they had come to look for him to diagnose Yuan Yuan again, “I have already reported upwards about Shu Yuan Yuan’s condition . The school will quickly contact…”
“Teacher Xu, we have found the cause for Yuan Yuan falling unconscious . ” Xue Rong said .
“You found the cause?” Teacher Xu was shocked .
“Yes . ’ Xue Rong nodded, “We found a fellow sect mate and asked him to take a look . He found out the cause of her falling unconscious . ”
“Sect mate? Which one?”
“Sima You Yue . He said that Yuan Should have been bitten by a Mirage spirit worm . ”
“Mirage worm?” Teacher Xu thought about it deeply, “It is really possible to end up like this if it was due to the Mirage worm . Let’s go, quickly lead me there . ”
Xue Rong knew that he had a way to fix it when she saw the way he was acting . She happily nodded and led him over there .
Teacher Xu checked Yuan Yuan thoroughly and with this lead, it was definitely easier for him to find some characteristics during his examination .
“Teacher Xu, how is it?”
“Mm . It really is a symptom of the Mirage worm . ” Teacher Xu said, “How could I not have noticed this before?”
“You Yue said that the mirage worm is rarely seen and only present in the violet water swamp . That’s why most people don’t think of it . ” Xue Rong said .
“You Yue? Sima You Yue?’ teacher Xu asked .
“Yes . ”
“So it was him…” Teacher Xu said .
“Does Teacher Xu know of him?”
“I’ve heard a few things . ” Teacher Xu said, “Since we know that it’s the mirage worm, we can save her . But I’ll need seven days to prepare for it . ”
“Seven days? That won’t do . Yuan Yuan has already been conscious for ten days . You Yue said that she can only hold on for five more days . Otherwise, she will never be able to wake up again . ” Xue Rong said .
“Five days?” Teacher Xu looked worriedly at the person lying on the bed . “I’ll discuss this with the other teachers . We’ll see if there’s anything else we can do . I’ll be heading back for now . ”
“I’ll have to trouble you, Teacher Xu . ”
Once Teacher Xu left, Xue Rong left to update the rest of the group .
“It seems that we have to make a backup plan . If Teacher and the others are unable to do it, we can only ask You Yue for help . ”
“I hope Yuan Yuan will be okay . ”
“If Yuan Yuan wakes up, we have to tell her not to speak of that incident . ”
“Even if she doesn’t, news of that will properly spread really quickly . ”
“Even if that’s the case, we still have some time . ”
“If it wasn’t for that, Yuan Yuan wouldn’t…”
Ma Bo Jian walked over and scolded, “Shut up . Do you want to discuss that here? If others heard, we would be in so much trouble!”
Those people immediately shut up after getting scolded, as if they had done something wrong .
Ma Bo Jian and Xue Rong exchanged glances, entering the room together .
“What do you think about what happened?” Xue Rong asked .
“It would be better to wait for Yuan Yuan to wake up before we can figure out what happened exactly . ” Ma Bo Jian said, “If it really was… then we should report it to the sect . ”
“It’s a pity that those brothers… . ”
“There were so many of them, but only Yuan Yuan survived . Once she’s awake, we’ll ask her what really happened . We can only hand this over to the sect . ”
