BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1408 Fate
"I do not mean to sound arrogant when I say this, but there is very much likely no one in this world that could have treated your daughter. No one except me," Alex said.
"In… in this world?" the man looked toward Alex.
Alex nodded.
Anyone could have absorbed the few bits of Yin in her body, but the stronger Yin in her dantian, the one that had caused her to collapse into a coma was most definitely something that no one could have taken away.
Only Alex, with his Yang body, could have handled the Yin enough to take it into his Dantian. Anyone else would have frozen their entire body before the Yin reached their dantian.
The Yin Bead had helped, but that was only to quickly take the Yin out of her. Even without it, Alex could have taken it all away.
He couldn\'t tell what would have happened to him in that case. Would the Yin still cause imbalance? He could most definitely control the Yin with his new Yang cultivation technique, so he probably would have had nothing to worry about.
"Are you sure there is no one else that could have helped?" the man asked again.
Alex shook his head. "Her Yin was just that strong," he said.
"I see," the man said. He didn\'t know whether what he was saying was an exaggeration or not, but the past half a month that he had tried to desperately get his daughter healed sure made it feel like it was all impossible.
"Then it must have been fate that put you in my path that I managed to find you," the man said. "I am lucky."
"Fate… huh?" Alex thought. Was it fate that brought him here today? Was it fate that got the two together?
Was it fate that brought him and his master together all those years ago?
Was it all fate? Or were these just coincidences?
"She truly has been healed," the sect master took a few steps back and wiped her tears. "I cannot believe it."
"I told you two women already that she\'s been healed," the man said.
The sect master ignored her. "How is she then? Is she going to wake up soon?" she asked.
Alex thought for a bit. That was when he realized that he hadn\'t checked the girl at all. He knew that a newly evolved body took a while to fully awaken from the coma.
It had taken Alex 5 days before he had woken up, and his master had taken a few days as well. As for how long it would take the girl, it couldn\'t be more than a week either.
Still, he decided to check her just in case.
He went up to her and took her wrist before sending his spiritual sense through his meridian and blood vessels to look through her entire body. This time around, there was no Yin in her body that instantly stopped it all from working.
He checked through the entire body and nodded. "There is nothing wrong with her. At worst, her body lacks a bit of energy. She had been fighting the Yin for some time, so it will require her body a few days to realize that the fight is no more."
"Once the body redirects the rest of her energy into aiding her, she will wake up. Just prepare a bunch of pills just in case she wakes up weak," he said.
"Is that so?" the sect master said. "Thank you."
"Thank you, sir Alchemist," the girl\'s mother said sincerely to him.
"It\'s alright, look after your daughter for now," he said.
He walked away and went back to being next to the father. The two women then prepared to take the young girl away.
"Hey! What are you doing?" the man shouted. "I told you, I\'m not letting my daughter go with you lot."
"Brother-in-law!" the sect master\'s eyes narrowed in anger while the yin aura in her body radiated.
"Changying!" the mother shouted at the same time as her Yin aura radiated as well.
The two sisters were both in the Saint Transformation realm. The sect mater was in Saint Transformation 3rd realm, while the sister was in Saint Transformation 1st realm.
The man said nothing, but he didn\'t stand back against this either. His Saint Core realm cultivation base that he had been radiating around Alex and the rest stripped away like a veil as a much stronger aura filled him.
Like a candle flame replaced by a bonfire, Saint Transformation 4th realm aura filled the room.
Alex had expected the man to be strong; it was obvious. But he had no way of anticipating that it could be this strong.
The many women outside immediately started preparing to fight the moment they sensed the change in the situation as well. Any moment, the three would start to fight.
"Are you guys insane?" Alex shouted, his voice cutting through the dense aura, surprising the 3 saints. "You are going to bring out such a strong aura in front of a little girl in the True realm. Do you want her to forever remain in a coma?"
The moment they heard that, everyone\'s aura instantly vanished. They pulled it all back, even hiding it more than before.
"Is… is she alright?" the mother asked.
"She\'s fine," Alex said. "But be careful around a patient. You guys have lived long enough to know this much."
The three nodded and looked at each other.
"Brother-in-law, I must take little Shumi back. Even the Body Legion will be here in an hour or two to take her away with me. Will you still stop us?" she asked.
The man hesitated. "But you guys didn\'t heal her. You—" he paused as he remembered what Alex had said about no one being able to heal the girl.
He had a realization that he might have been wrong this whole time and that he had been too hasty in his judgment of the situation.
He had always been hasty.
"May I suggest something?" Alex spoke up. "Since senior Changying here wants to stay with his daughter to look after her health, why don\'t you take her back after she\'s woken up and he knows it?"
"We can\'t do that. We\'ve taken too many away from the sect," the woman said.
"Then… why not take him there?" he asked. "Certainly that is possible, right?"
"Take him… to the Ice Mist Palace?" the sect master hesitated
"Sir Alchemist, the Ice Mist Palace is a place for only girls to be in," the man said himself.
"It\'s just a rule," Alex said. "Every rule has exceptions. They will make exceptions for you if you can persuade them."
"I knew of an all-girls sect too," Alex said. "But the moment they needed something from me, they cared not for my gender and took me in as their alchemist without hesitation."
