Capítulo 2163: Chapter 2162: Healing, Reversing Fate
After the matter was settled,
when Xu Zii returned to the City Lord Mansion, both the servants and Sikong Lian were much more respectful and even a bit reserved around him.
After handling the competition matters, Sikong Lian imdiately went to pay respects to Xu Zii.
That’s right, he paid his respects.
Even though the City Lord Mansion should have been Sikong Lian’s domain.
Yet he still paid respects to Xu Zii.
Paying respects ant asking Steward Zhou to go in and inquire whether Xu Zii had ti to et him.
The courtyard where Xu Zii resided was even replaced with the best one.
All around, there was the sound of birds and fragrant flowers, with a Bamboo Grove as vast as the sea.
And when Steward Zhou went in, he kept his back hunched with an apologetic smile on his face.
“My lord, it was our previous rudeness, we beg your forgiveness.”
“I’ve already said that many things don’t matter to . It was rely entertaining you all, to see the scenery of this world,” Xu Zii said indifferently.
“The City Lord wishes to see you. When might you have ti?” Steward Zhou hastily asked.
“There’s no need to be so reserved; I prefer your previous unruly deanor,”
Xu Zii smiled and said, “Let him in. I know what he wants to ask .”
Steward Zhou nodded, and Sikong Lian, who had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long ti, was finally summoned.
He felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
He had been worried that Xu Zii might hold a grudge over past events and refuse to see him.
……
Upon entering the room swiftly,
Sikong Lian bent down and said, “Greetings, my lord.”
“There’s no need for formalities,” Xu Zii waved his hand.
“Why don’t I see Sikong Qing?” he asked.
“Qing… she,” Sikong Lian hesitated.
“Her cold illness has flared up?” Xu Zii inquired.
“My lord… you know?” Sikong Lian quickly nodded.
“The first ti I saw her, I felt sothing amiss.”
“Perhaps ordinary people can’t sense it, but in my perception, when she approaches, the air around turns into a cold breeze,”
Xu Zii explained.
“She is like a piece of millennium unlting ice. If I couldn’t sense that, it would indeed be strange.”
“And your matrimonial requirents are quite peculiar. Don’t you think these things are easy to guess?”
Sikong Lian chuckled bitterly a few tis.
He said, “I was blinded by concern. So matters are indeed simple.”
“Qing is unconscious. I have placed her in the Fire Room.”
“From birth, Qing was diagnosed with being a Reverse Fate.”
“Her originally Fire Fate turned into Ice Fate.”
“This was an innate defect, hard for us to change. I’ve been seeking dical advice and dicines over the years, but to no avail.”
“I’ve tried many redies, all without success.”
“Until a few months ago, soone gave a folk redy, saying that to reverse a Reverse Fate, one must find another person with the sa Reverse Fate.”
“The two opposites could potentially generate a reversal of fortunes, turning Reverse Fate into Smooth Fate.”
“So this led to the dramatic competition?” Xu Zii laughed.
Having people from the Fire Tribe cultivate ice-attribute cultivation techniques. If they can succeed, it likely proves they are also Reverse Fate.
“It’s a clumsy thod,” Xu Zii said.
“Isn’t it,” Sikong Lian chuckled bitterly.
“But we had no other choice; any thod is worth a try.”
“Perhaps a blind cat might catch a dead rat.”
At this point, Sikong Lian looked at Xu Zii and hesitated to ask, “Does the lord have a good thod?”
“It’s as simple as a flick of the wrist,” Xu Zii replied.
“What is known as Reverse Fate is not an irreversible fate, but rely a reversal of yin and yang within the body.”
“As long as there is a powerful force to suppress it, reversing fire and water, it is both difficult and simple.”
“How… how powerful does the force need to be to reverse Reverse Fate?” Sikong Lian asked in shock.
He had traveled countless years seeking a cure for his daughter’s condition.
Now, hearing Xu Zii speak, it seed so straightforward.
Indeed, it was simple, because when one’s power reaches a certain level, it can overco all obstacles.
There is nothing that power cannot resolve.
At this mont, hearing Xu Zii’s words, Sikong Lian knelt down.
Yes, he truly knelt.
“My lord, please save my daughter. I’ll do anything for her to live.”
As the city lord, Sikong Lian was persistently pleading.
“I had a brief encounter with her, and since we t, it is destiny,” Xu Zii said calmly.
“In the first half of my life, I knew only slaughter, regardless of who or what stood in my path, I killed based on my mood.”
“Now as I walk the world, I have no joy or sorrow, no slaughter or compassion, only looking at destiny, the Taoist Charm that exists in the unseen.”
Xu Zii’s words were too abstruse, so much that Sikong Lian was half-confused, half-understanding.
But he understood that Xu Zii was willing to save his daughter.
That was enough.
He wanted to continue his gratitude, but Xu Zii interrupted him.
“There is nothing in this River Sun City that interests . No need to say more; let take a look at her.”
Sikong Lian stood up and quickly led the way.
Steward Zhou followed behind.
Together, they arrived at the Fire Room.
The temperature here was extrely high, one of the sources of the Yang River, the hottest place in Yang River.
Normally, people, even those of the Fire Tribe, would feel hot if they stayed here for long.
However, Sikong Qing’s body lay quietly, without the slightest heat; instead, there was a faint chill.
“My lord… look,” Sikong Lian spoke.
“In the past, a few hours here would awaken her.”
“Then it took a few days, even weeks.”
“I don’t know when she’ll wake this ti.”
“Let take a look,” Xu Zii stepped forward, finding that the cold within Sikong Qing had reached the depths of her marrow.
Her internal organs seed to be frozen.
At this mont, Sikong Qing resembled an ice statue.
Xu Zii extended a hand, and the flas of the Yang River surged with his palm.
“Rumble, rumble.”
At this mont, the enormous river began to boil continuously.
Countless flas gathered together.
These flas were like extensions of Xu Zii’s arms, coming and going at his command.
The flas surrounded Sikong Qing’s entire body.
Of course, attempting to expel the cold solely with these flas would not work.
They were only to evaporate the forced cold.
Around Xu Zii, the Taoist Charm manifested, and the Power of the Great Dao spread out magnificently.
Suddenly, with a palm strike,
a force as if capable of overturning rivers and seas landed directly on Sikong Qing.
As the mighty Power of the Great Dao descended upon her,
the Great Dao entered Sikong Qing’s body.
The ice within her was rapidly being expelled.
“Rumble, rumble.”
A faint chill poured out from all directions.
Sikong Qing’s previously pale skin gradually began to take on a rosy hue.
