Chapter 51: Drowning Young Man (2)
“My God, how are there such beautiful people in the world!?” Ye Sheng exclaimed.
“Miss, have a look quickly. Can we still save my Young Master?” The old man in yellow was no longer surprised by this kind of situation.
His Young Master had always looked celestial since he was a child. No matter men or women, young or old, his looks would infatuate everyone.
However, the old man could not help but feel surprised when he saw that although there was a surprise in Ye Lingyue’s eyes, it disappeared in a flash. Young Master’s appearance did not bewilder her at all.
Ye Lingyue’s posture when she had asked the others to leave was not like that of a young girl.
Ye Lingyue went forward to take the ‘unlucky Young Master’s’ pulse.
The moment she touched his hand, Ye Lingyue’s fingertip felt a piercing coldness that made her stiffen. She had never felt so cold even when she had touched a Dark Yin Jade.
Ye Lingyue felt strange and let the cauldron breath enter the young man’s body.
But at that moment, a strong repulsive force rushed out from the young man’s body. And as it did so, Ye Lingyue felt as if she had hit a wall and her hand bounced away as a reflex.
“Miss, I forgot to say that Young Master’s body’s temperature is much lower than that of ordinary people since he was young.” The old man had seen the countless surprised expressions on many doctors’ faces as they took in his Young Master’s temperature, and he thought Ye Lingyue would react the same way.
Cold body?
Things might not be that simple. She had the cauldron breath since she was reborn, and in that span of time, it was the first time she encountered a force fighting against the existence of the cauldron breath.
What secrets did this young man have in his body?
Ye Lingyue looked at the young man again. His eyes were tightly closed and his long eyelashes were like feathers on his cheek. His lips were pale from the lack of blood, and his breathing and pulse had stopped not too long ago. It was no wonder the doctor from the Ye family said that it was hopeless.
Ye Lingyue thought for a moment and asked Ye Sheng to help her open up the man’s collar, and she asked him to remove the unlucky Young Master’s belt.
“Big Cousin, carry him to the shore. Put him on your back with his face turned up and run for thirty minutes.” Ye Lingyue’s words astonished Ye Sheng and the old man.
What kind of treatment was that? He had never heard of it before.
“I can’t do that. My Young Master’s body is precious.” The old man shook his head.
“No matter how valuable his body is, it’s all in vain if he’s dead. It’s up to you if he lives or dies.” Ye Lingyue glanced at the old man.
The old man’s voice was stuck in his throat. He was also a high-ranking man in his past years, but when was he ever questioned like this? A young girl questioned his authority, and he felt a little angry about that. However, he had no choice but to let Ye Sheng carry his Young Master to the river bank.
The sun during summer was harsh.
Ye Sheng did not dare disobey Ye Lingyue’s words, and he ran like a fool along the river bank with the young man on his back for thirty minutes.
“Cousin… Is it done? I’m almost paralyzed.” Ye Sheng thought the young man was light, but how could he be so heavy on his back? He had run for too long that he was already so exhausted.
“Help him up.” After Ye Sheng held the young man up, Ye Lingyue punched the young man twice in the chest.
“W—what are you doing!” Ye Lingyue’s action shocked the old man and his men.
This person beat Young Master.
‘Cough… Cough.’ At that moment, the young man, who had been unconscious for some time, woke up and coughed up some water, color returning to his face.
Eyelashes fluttering, he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were misty and looked a little melancholic. It was as if one’s heart would become wet after taking one look at him.
“Young Master, you are finally awake.” The servants, including the old man, wailed and surrounded the young man.
The old man quickly ordered for someone to take a brocade box over and took a piece of ginseng from it. He then put it into the young man’s mouth.
Ye Lingyue’s eyebrows twitched when she saw the ginseng inside the brocade box.
Was she seeing it wrongly…? Wasn’t that the Bright Sun Ginseng she saw at the lava crater?
Ye Lingyue’s heartbeat sped up, and that strange golden mask man appeared in her mind again.
Could it be that the golden-masked man was looking for the Bright Sun Ginseng to save this ‘unlucky Young Master’?
This was such a coincidence.
The young man recovered some vitality after taking the ginseng, and then the old man explained what had happened to him.
“Teacher, sorry to have made you worry. I felt short of breath in the cabin, so I went to the deck to get some air. I am not sure if it was because of the waves that shook the boat but I suddenly felt dizzy and fell into the water.” The voice of the young man was very pleasant, like musical strings.
Listening to his tone, he did not know that someone had pushed him into the water.
He also learned from the old man that it was the Ye family who had saved him.
“Thank you very much for saving my life.” The young man walked forward to Ye Lingyue and bowed.
When he looked up, he could see Ye Lingyue’s face. He realized that she was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
The young girl’s skin was soft and tender; she had brushed her hair back, showing her jade-like forehead. Her nose was small and beautiful, her eyes were like a new moon, and there a smile graced her lips.
The young man had seen countless noble ladies and court ladies, but no one was as fresh and natural as Ye Lingyue. She was just like a cool breeze in summer.
What was more? He did not expect his savior to be so young!
As he stared at Ye Lingyue, he got even more distracted. And as Ye Lingyue stared back at him, a blush appeared on the young man’s face and he looked away in a hurry.
“Teacher Mu, please take a bag of golden leaves and give it to this young lady.” The young man felt that he was getting more short of breath.
She wondered what kind of person they were that they could give golden leaves that easily?
“Thank you.” Ye Lingyue accepted the gold leaves as she needed money to use at the county city.
If this unlucky Young Master did not meet her today, or if she never remembered the procedure on how to treat a drowned person, he would have been in serious danger.
Ye Sheng was looking on with envious eyes. Why did all the wonderful things happen to his cousin? She only moved her mouth and he was the one who did the manual work.
“I’m Feng Shen and I’m in Glass City to recuperate. If you are free, you can go visit the Feng Manor along Black Bamboo street.” After a few polite words, the young man got onto the boat where the servants and the old man in the yellow shirt were.
Wasn’t Glass City the county city the Ye family was going?
If given a chance, she wanted to find out what mystery the young man’s body hid.
Ye Lingyue was deep in thought as she watched the boat slowly move down the river. After a moment, there were only streaks of water left.
“Lingyue, we should be on our way.” While saving the young man, the sun was not shining as fierce as before. Seeing that it was late, Ye Fengyun urged everyone to move as he was afraid that they would not be able to reach Glass City before dark.
