Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1040: A Worry and a Joy


"Excited?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh; Fang Jing was actually excited. Was it just because she proved she could become a Martial Artist?

Ye Xiao couldn't muster any excitement now; sitting by the bed, he involuntarily sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that this was Xia Mingyue's place, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao, who looked a bit odd at the moment, closed the door casually, and then slowly walked towards Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, is something wrong?"

Only then did Ye Xiao slowly raise his head to look at Xia Mingyue. He didn't know how to say it, nor did he know whether he should say it. Should he keep silent? Oh no, he should say it.

The Xia family in Bird City is considered a very established financial group and should know which experts specialize in tumors.

"There's something, and I don't know what to do," Ye Xiao said, looking at Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue saw the troubled expression on Ye Xiao's face and couldn't help but laugh a little, teasingly saying to Ye Xiao, "Aren't you always so confident? Why today do you look like a wilted eggplant? Come on, tell me, what's happened that our great Ye master is at a loss?"

"If a person has a tumor, and it's your good friend, what would you do?" Ye Xiao suddenly looked at Xia Mingyue, his face serious.

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Xia Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then her originally playful expression became serious.

"Speak clearly!" Xia Mingyue said, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao lowered his voice and said to Xia Mingyue, "I just examined Fang Jing's body. Her talent is not bad, deemed above average, however, I also found a small round mass in her abdomen, at the location Martial Artists refer to as the Dantian."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xia Mingyue's face was full of disbelief, saying, "Are you joking?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ye Xiao replied.

Xia Mingyue stared at Ye Xiao for about two minutes before slowly saying, "Are you saying she might have a tumor?"

"Yes!"

"Impossible, definitely impossible!" Xia Mingyue's emotions were also off-kilter now.

No matter who it is, learning that your good friend, especially your closest friend, might have a tumor, they would be incredibly sad, perhaps unable to accept this fact.

Ye Xiao said, "I also hope it's impossible, but aside from this, I can't think of what else it could be."

Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "Go for a check-up tomorrow morning."

"Check-up?" Hearing Xia Mingyue's suggestion, Ye Xiao suddenly realized and immediately said, "Yes, yes, go to the State Hospital."

At this moment, Xia Mingyue really didn't have the mind for a check-up. You could say that her mind was completely on Fang Jing, who was watching a movie and eating an apple in the living room.

However, at this time, Fang Jing was completely unaware.

A few minutes later, Ye Xiao suddenly realized that it seemed like there was something else to do today.

"Take off your clothes!" Ye Xiao suddenly said.

"What?" Xia Mingyue, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately raised her head and looked at Ye Xiao. She was a bit incredulous at her ears.

Apparently, after the misunderstanding that just occurred with Fang Jing, Ye Xiao wasn't taking any chances. Immediately, he said, "I need to check your body's various parts, so you must take off your clothes and lie down on the bed."

"Is it really necessary?" Xia Mingyue was certainly a bit reluctant. She and Fang Jing had similar thoughts; although she had decided to give herself to this man in front of her, it seemed a bit ahead of schedule to undress so casually.

"It is necessary!" Ye Xiao said, "If you don't want to become a Martial Artist, you can forgo the examination."

Actually, due to the small hiccup that occurred in Fang Jing's body earlier, Ye Xiao truly didn't want to check Xia Mingyue. To put it bluntly, his greatest worry was the possibility of discovering something similar in Xia Mingyue, leaving him in despair.

Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao, who was still very serious, with no intention of joking, hesitating a bit but eventually followed his words.

Earlier, faced with Fang Jing's body, Ye Xiao was a bit impulsive. Yet now, facing Xia Mingyue's body, Ye Xiao felt nothing at all. Of course, this wasn't against Xia Mingyue; it was because his heart was still a bit concerned for Fang Jing.

Ye Xiao forced himself to calm down; he knew that if he couldn't stay calm, it wouldn't be fair to Xia Mingyue.

Similar to the examination of Fang Jing, Ye Xiao once again used Nine Yang True Qi to put Xia Mingyue into a semi-conscious state and then began checking her thoroughly.

This time, Ye Xiao worked relatively quickly, finishing the check-up in about twenty minutes.

Ye Xiao extended his hand to cover Xia Mingyue with a blanket. As he looked at Xia Mingyue, a smile appeared on his face.

"Really unexpected!" Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue, sighed, and said.

If, during the check of Fang Jing's body earlier, there was worry, then the examination of Xia Mingyue was truly delightful.

Xia Mingyue's bones and talent were excellent; overall, they could be considered top-notch. If she used a Heart Cleansing Pill, Xia Mingyue could reluctantly be regarded as a genius.

Ye Xiao truly hadn't expected that Xia Mingyue was indeed a potential prodigy.

Just as Ye Xiao was rejoicing, Xia Mingyue slowly opened her eyes.

Since Ye Xiao used Nine Yang True Qi to put Xia Mingyue in a state of semi-consciousness, once the Nine Yang True Qi left her body, she would quickly awaken.

"Ye Xiao!"

Ye Xiao heard Xia Mingyue's voice and immediately looked toward Xia Mingyue lying on the bed.

"You're awake!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Xia Mingyue said, "How is it?"

"Very well, you're barely considered a genius." Ye Xiao said with a smile.

However, Xia Mingyue didn't seem as happy as Ye Xiao imagined. She sighed and said, "I'd rather not have this genius if we could all be healthy."

How could Ye Xiao not understand what Xia Mingyue meant? He sighed and said, "Let's go for a check-up tomorrow, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Xia Mingyue nodded slightly.

To her as an ordinary person, being a martial arts genius wasn't important. After all, she didn't want to engage in fights; she only wanted to manage her company.

So, compared to this so-called martial arts genius, Xia Mingyue was more concerned about Fang Jing's health.

Xia Mingyue got dressed and walked out with Ye Xiao.

"How's it going?" As they walked out, Fang Jing immediately turned her head and asked with a smile.

Hearing Fang Jing's words, Xia Mingyue and Ye Xiao exchanged a glance. Then Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Ming Yue's talent is not bad."

"Seems she's much better than me. But, Ye Xiao, you promised me you'd use the pills for me." Fang Jing said with a smile.

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Of course I will. I need to get back."

"Why the rush?" Fang Jing said, "An apple just washed."

Ye Xiao went over, picked one up, and said with a smile, "I'll have an apple, but I still need to hurry back. Hehe, I want to try out that alchemy furnace."

Hearing that Ye Xiao was going to test out the alchemy furnace, Fang Jing immediately said, "Hurry up then, and don't forget my pills."

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Ye Xiao almost fled the scene. He knew he could control his emotions, but he didn't want to pretend in front of the woman he liked.

Walking out of Xia Mingyue's place, Ye Xiao walked forward with a heavy heart, always thinking about Fang Jing.

"Perhaps Ming Yue is right; we'll only know everything after the check-up," Ye Xiao said to comfort himself as he walked.

Just then, Ye Xiao's phone suddenly rang.

Ye Xiao took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a stranger's number, but he answered it anyway.

"Hello, who is this?" Ye Xiao continued walking.

A voice came over the phone.

"Is this Ye Xiao?"

Hearing the voice, Ye Xiao felt a bit strange. Who could this be?

"Yes, I am. Who are you?" Ye Xiao asked casually.

"The name Liu Shixun shouldn't be unfamiliar to you." The voice said with a laugh.

As soon as Ye Xiao heard "Liu Shixun," he chuckled and said, "So it's Senior Liu; my apologies for being rude."

Liu Shixun calling at this time almost made Ye Xiao guess the reason.

The caller was indeed Liu Shixun.

Originally, Liu Wenjian planned to call Ye Xiao himself, but Liu Shixun thought about it and decided that he would call Ye Xiao, which would show sincerity.

"You seem to understand courtesy." Liu Shixun said.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "Of course, although many people dislike me, I must understand proper etiquette. Otherwise, wouldn't I be looked down upon even more? Don't you agree, Senior Liu?"

Liu Shixun chuckled and said, "Young and reckless!"

"Haha, Senior Liu, look at what you said. If I was out of line, please don't hold it against me." Ye Xiao said, "It's just that I don't think you're calling this late just for a chat, and if it was just for a chat, I'd have to apologize. I'm really tired."

"You're quite a crafty young man." Liu Shixun said.

"You're too kind!" Ye Xiao replied.

Liu Shixun said, "Calling you now is what you're hoping for, right? No need to beat around the bush. I think we don't have to tiptoe around this."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "What should and shouldn't be said depends on your mood, Senior Liu. I'm not one for small talk, so if you have something to say, feel free, Senior."
