"This is my wife, Axiang," Qin Han Chu replied with a smile.
Axiang extended her hand, "Hello."
Xue Ling Xian shook Axiang's hand and said, "Hello, I'm Xue Ling Xian."
"Han Chu mentioned you. I didn't expect to see you here," Axiang said.
Xue Ling Xian smiled upon hearing this, "Oh really? He mentioned me?"
"Of course, you are one of his few friends," Axiang replied.
"Ling Xian, what brings you here?"
Seeing Qin Han Chu ask, Xue Ling Xian said, "I came to treat the Zhou family's young lady. I was free so I decided to take a stroll."
"How about we find a place to sit?" Axiang suggested.
"I'll treat you to some milk tea."
Hearing "milk tea," Axiang's eyes lit up immediately, "Let's go, let's get some milk tea."
Watching Axiang link arms with Xue Ling Xian and walk away, Qin Han Chu muttered, "You're quite friendly. Don't you need your husband anymore?"
"You won't get lost," Axiang replied with a smile, turning her head.
A moment later, the three of them were seated at a milk tea shop.
Having not seen each other for a long time, Qin Han Chu and Xue Ling Xian had plenty to talk about.
Axiang was naturally outgoing, so she got along well with Xue Ling Xian.
As the three were engrossed in conversation, three people rushed in.
The three individuals went directly to Xue Ling Xian. One of them said, "Miss Xue, my young lady has relapsed. Please come and take a look."
Xue Ling Xian frowned deeply upon hearing this and said to Qin Han Chu, "The Zhou family's young lady's condition is rather peculiar. Could you lend me a hand?"
Qin Han Chu was very familiar with Xue Ling Xian's medical skills.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary illnesses would not trouble her.
Seeing that Xue Ling Xian couldn't handle it, Qin Han Chu said to Axiang, "Shall we go take a look?"
Axiang nodded with a smile, "We're not busy anyway, so it's fine to go take a look."
Led by Xue Ling Xian, they all walked out.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them alighted from a luxurious car.
Just then, a girl let out a piercing scream.
The three quickly entered the villa and proceeded to the girl's room.
"Physician Xue, what's wrong with my granddaughter?"
"She was fine before, why did she suddenly get worse?"
The speaker was an elder from the Zhou family, a peak Grandmaster martial artist.
Xue Ling Xian looked at Qin Han Chu and said, "Han Chu, you take a look."
Qin Han Chu approached the bedside. The woman's eyes were tightly shut, her expression filled with pain, and she occasionally let out pained cries. It looked like she was having a terrible nightmare!
Qin Han Chu asked Xue Ling Xian for a needle and was about to insert it when the Zhou family elder said, "Wait, who are you?"
"He is my friend, and his medical skills are superior to mine," Xue Ling Xian replied.
Hearing Xue Ling Xian's words, the Zhou family elder did not obstruct them further.
Qin Han Chu administered a calming and soul-nourishing needle on the woman, and her expression gradually calmed down.
Xue Ling Xian said, "I used this method before, but it didn't cure her completely."
Qin Han Chu nodded and then placed his fingers on the woman's pulse.
Simultaneously, Qin Han Chu's spiritual power enveloped the woman.
Just then, the woman suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze was extremely cold, giving off a terrifying aura.
At that moment, Qin Han Chu's expression changed drastically. He sensed two different spiritual powers within the woman.
"Don't meddle in my affairs, or you'll regret it," the woman said coldly, looking at Qin Han Chu. A voice also entered Qin Han Chu's mind.
The appearance of this voice further confirmed Qin Han Chu's suspicion. The woman was not ill; she was being possessed! This was impossible! Under normal circumstances, only those above the Profound realm were qualified to possess others. Where did this individual come from?
"Who are you? Where are you from?" Qin Han Chu communicated with the soul possessing the girl through his spiritual power.
"You, merely at the Spirit Saint level, dare to interfere with my business?"
"I'll warn you one last time, this matter does not concern you."
Qin Han Chu fell silent upon hearing this fierce threat. Although he knew what the woman was facing, he couldn't help her. Qin Han Chu's spiritual power was not yet strong enough to launch a spiritual attack; he couldn't force the soul to leave the woman's body. If the soul couldn't be driven out of the woman's mind, she would undoubtedly be usurped.
"Threatening me?"
"Fine, I won't interfere now."
"When you succeed in fusing, I will kill this woman."
"And you will die with her!"
Since his spiritual power couldn't force the other party, Qin Han Chu could only resort to negotiation. Although the soul was powerful in its prime, she was now merely a remnant soul. Once she fused with the woman's soul, she would lose her advantage. If the woman was killed, she would also die again. And this time, her demise would be absolute.
"We have no enmity, why do you interfere?"
Qin Han Chu transmitted mentally, "I can refrain from interfering, but you must tell me who you are and where you are from."
"You wouldn't recognize my name even if I told you."
"As long as you don't hinder me, once my possession is successful, I will impart to you a precious martial skill."
Qin Han Chu said, "You know about the Nine Great Ancient Clans, right?"
"Which clan are you from?" the woman asked upon hearing Qin Han Chu mention the Nine Great Ancient Clans.
"The Qin Clan!"
Upon hearing Qin Han Chu's answer, the woman said, "Since you are from the Qin Clan, there's even less reason for you to stop me. We, the Nine Great Ancient Clans, are as one; we are allies bound by life and death."
"One last question, what was your realm at your peak?"
"Profound Saint or Profound God?"
Qin Han Chu's words caused a hint of surprise in the woman's tone, "You know about the Profound realm? You have good insight?"
"Answer my question," Qin Han Chu urged.
"Profound God!" the woman's transmission carried a tone of solemnity. "Do not obstruct my possession. You will be greatly rewarded once it is accomplished."
Qin Han Chu inserted another needle, and the woman's eyes gently closed.
"What's going on? What exactly is wrong with my granddaughter?" the Zhou family elder asked urgently.
"Let's talk outside." After saying this, Qin Han Chu, with a bewildered Axiang, left the room. Xue Ling Xian and the others also hurried to follow.
In the living room, Qin Han Chu told Axiang, "Sit down and rest for a while."
Axiang sat down, "What exactly happened?"
Qin Han Chu looked at the Zhou family elder and said, "Your granddaughter is not ill; she has awakened the Zhou family's bloodline. Once her awakening is complete, she will lead your Zhou family to greatness."
"What? Bloodline awakening?"
"What does that mean?" Although the Zhou family elder was a Grandmaster, he had never heard the term "bloodline awakening." Qin Han Chu's words were utterly baffling to him.
"In any case, your granddaughter is not in any danger."
"In a few days, not only will she fully recover, but her martial cultivation realm will also greatly increase."
Qin Han Chu couldn't save the Zhou family's young lady at this moment. Furthermore, he also wanted to learn more about the hidden secrets of Shenzhou through this woman. Therefore, he had no choice but to let this person possess the Zhou family's young lady.
