Chapter 371: Multitasking, Contradictory Dual Skill

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Emei was one of the most famous Kung Fu schools in China.

Apart from the Chinese boxing skills Chen Ying mentioned, she could also do Emei style Chinese boxing.

In fact, Chen Ying was considered a Kung Fu master. She looked gentle and pretty, not like the stereotypical strong, male Kung Fu masters, but she could probably fight five to six adults at the same time.

“I feel you have some issues in your breathing,” said Wang Yao.

“Issues? What issues?” asked Chen Ying anxiously. She could also feel it herself. Her breathing exercises hadn’t been going as smoothly.

Her issues with breathing had been ongoing. It was not too bad initially. However, it started to get worse with time going by. If she hadn’t been busy working in Beijing, she would have gone to the school where she learned Kung Fu to find out what was wrong with her. However, Wang Yao noticed it.

“I have observed you practicing Chinese boxing. Have you experienced any blocked Qi?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, I did,” said Chen Ying. “Can you do anything about it?”

“I’m not sure. The way you do breathing exercises might be different from mine,” said Wang Yao.

He couldn’t provide a solution without knowing the way Chen Ying did her breathing exercises.

“I see, I can tell you later,” said Chen Ying.

“Are you sure?” asked Wang Yao.

The specific breathing exercises of a Kung Fu school were supposed to be secretive. Chen Ying was not supposed to tell anyone out of the Kung Fu school.

“I think so. My Kung Fu skills were not profound anyway,” said Chen Ying with a smile. “And who cares about Kung Fu nowadays?”

She was telling the truth.

“Do you know how to use a gun?” asked Wang Yao suddenly.

“Yes,” said Chen Ying without hesitation.

Chen Ying was in a special position. Apart from practicing Kung Fu since childhood, she had also served in the army for a while, which was where she learned to use a gun.

“Do you want to try?” asked Chen Ying.

“What? Use a gun?” said Wang Yao with surprise.

“Yeah,” said Chen Ying.

“Can you get a gun?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes,” said Chen Ying.

“Okay, why not?” said Wang Yao with a smile.

By the time Wang Yao arrived at Su Xiaoxue’s house, Song Ruiping had been waiting for him.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.” Su Xiaoxue had been in a good mood lately. It was not only because that she was getting better, but also because of Wang Yao.

She didn’t know why. It was like she had already known Wang Yao for a long time. She liked seeing him, listening to him talking, and what he talked about.

“Hello,” said Wang Yao.

After reviewing Su Xiaoxue, Wang Yao started the treatment session, which was different this time.

“I’ve brewed some decoction for you. Please take some of it,” said Wang Yao.

He planned to give some Muscle Revitalizing powder to Su Xiaoxue first, then use his Qi to treat Su Xiaoxue. He hoped that by using two different types of treatment, Su Xiaoxue would recover faster.

“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue.

After she had taken the decoction, Su Xiaoxue felt a cool current running down from her throat. The cool feeling soon traveled to different parts of her body from her stomach.

In the meantime, Wang Yao kept checking Su Xiaoxue’s pulse.

“Good,” said Wang Yao.

Then he held Su Xiaoxue’s right arm to absorb the excessive heat energy into his body. He didn’t stop until Su Xiaoxue looked uncomfortable. He then transferred his Qi into Su Xiaoxue’s body to help her recover.

“You should rest,” said Wang Yao.

Song Ruiping and a nurse were standing next to Su Xiaoxue during the treatment session.

Su Xiaoxue rested up for about half an hour.

“Dr. Wang, I think that’s enough,” said Su Xiaoxue.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

Wait!

As Wang Yao was about to hold Su Xiaoxue’s left arm, he suddenly had a new idea.

Maybe this will work better.

“Can you help her sit up?” asked Wang Yao.

The nurse and Song Ruiping helped Su Xiaoxue sit up. At this stage, it was still very difficult for her to turn her body. Therefore she required assistance to sit up.

Wang Yao held both of her hands.

He was going to suck the excessive heat energy out of Su Xiaoxue’s body through one arm while transferring his Qi into her body through the other arm, like a circle. He thought this would work more effectively. The only thing was that Wang Yao was not sure if Su Xiaoxue’s meridians were strong enough to tolerate the treatment. He had to keep a close eye during the treatment.

Song Ruiping and the nurse only saw Wang Yao hold Su Xiaoxue’s hands. They didn’t know why he was doing it.

What is this treatment?

They had the same question in their heads.

Sucking the toxins and inputting the pure Qi were happening at the same time.

It was like a contradictory dual skill. Wang Yao was using his Qi in two different ways. He was multitasking. This was the first time Wang Yao used his Qi in such an unusual way. It was a test for him. He had done breathing exercises for a long while, so his ability of controlling Qi was advanced. Even so, it was not an easy treatment for Wang Yao to do. However, as long as he stayed focused, he could achieve it.

Su Xiaoxue felt very odd.

One of her arms was burning hot. Hot current from her body flew out of her arm, like they had found an outlet. The feeling in the other arm was nice and warm. The warm current went into the other arm, then turned into a flow of cool current. She wouldn’t believe it if she didn’t experience it.

What is he doing?

Su Xiaoxue had the same question in her mind, too.

In Su Xiaoxue’s room, only Wang Yao himself knew what he was doing and what method he was using to treat Su Xiaoxue.

It seems to be working.

At the beginning, Wang Yao didn’t want to speed up the treatment. He was concerned that Su Xiaoxue might not be able to tolerate the intensity of treatment. He didn’t want anything to go wrong. As time went by, however, he increased the intensity of his treatment and sped up the flow of his Qi.

Su Xiaoxue was sweating on her forehead. In fact, her right arm was burning hot. She couldn’t bear it anymore. It was like her right arm was on fire, and the burning sensation was coming from the inside out. She tried her best not to scream.

“We should take a break.” Wang Yao could see she was suffering.

“Sorry, I was pushing too far,” apologized Wang Yao.

“Never mind, I can deal with the pain,” said Su Xiaoxue with a smile.

Then the nurse helped Su Xiaoxue lay on the bed. Su Xiaoxue took some time to rest before Wang Yao started the treatment again.

“Let’s do it the other way around,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue.

Wang Yao started the treatment the other way around, this time going counterclockwise.

The arm that was used as an outlet of excessive heat energy previously absorbed Wang Yao’s Qi this time. It was a sort of compensation.

The second treatment session took a bit longer, because Wang Yao tried to control his Qi.

It was nearly 2 pm when Wang Yao had completed the second session.

Wang Yao didn’t feel particularly tired. On the contrary, he was full of energy. The treatment sessions were also beneficial to train his ability to control Qi. However, for Su Xiaoxue, the process was painful and exhausting. She could barely put up with it. However, she had become tougher than most people after being tortured by her illness for years.

“Done. Let’s call it a day. I’ll come back the day after tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, thank you,” said Su Xiaoxue with a smile.

“You are welcome. Take care,” said Wang Yao.

“You as well,” said Su Xiaoxue.

Wang Yao took a look at Su Xiaoxue again. He left the room after making sure Su Xiaoxue was fine. Su Xiaoxue watched his back as he walked out of the room.

She really wanted to talk more with Wang Yao.

He’ll come back the day after tomorrow.

It was sunny outside.

The sky of autumn was clear and far. The weather was very pleasant even in Beijing.

Wang Yao thought he should go out for a walk on such a nice day.

Meanwhile, the staff of the mental facility where Chen Zhou lived was keeping a close eye on Chen Zhou.

“How is he doing? Has he had an episode yet?” asked the chief psychiatrist.

“No,” said a doctor.

“Are you sure?” asked the chief psychiatrist.

“I’m sure,” said the doctor.

As a mental health doctor, he should have the basic skill of telling whether a patient was in a psychiatric episode or sober. The doctor was pretty confident.

“Wonderful! Who did Ms. Fu bring to see him yesterday? If the person who saw Chen Zhou was truly capable, we should hire him,” said the chief psychiatrist.

It was a nice day, so Wang Yao didn’t rush back to the cottage. He wanted to wander around.

“I’ll go with you,” said Chen Ying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

“Where would you like to go?” asked Chen Ying.

“I don’t mind. Anywhere really. Maybe to the hills in the outer suburbs?” suggested Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Chen Ying.

Fragrant Hills and Miaofeng Hills were not far from the Beijing city business center, only tens of kilometers away.

Chen Ying drove the car at a comfortable speed.

“Shall we go to Miaofeng Hills?” asked Chen Ying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

It was nearly 4 pm by the time they had arrived at Miaofeng Hills. The visitors had started to leave. There were only a few people left, and there was a temple on the hill.

Wang Yao and Chen Ying walked the steps up. There were a few people nearby. Wang Yao walked slowly. He was appreciating the view around him. The highest hill of Miaofeng Hills was over one thousand meters. It was a truly significant hill, not like the small Nanshan Hill.

There were quite a few plants on the hill. Some of the trees were very big. They should be quite old.

The reason why Wang Yao suddenly wanted to see the hills around Beijing was because he started to miss Nanshan Hill. He just wanted to climb a hill, any hill.

There was a temple on Miaofeng Hills. It was called Huiji Temple. Its main area was called Kuan Yin Tien.

He could see the smoke out of the temple from distance.

Wang Yao preferred to be on the hills. It was more natural, and the air was fresher. The aura around the hill was more spiritual, unlike the polluted air in Beijing.

“Huiji Temple is a short walk away. Shall we go and have a look?” suggested Chen Ying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

He and Chen Ying walked into the temple and saw a few monks around. The monks walked with a light step and talked in low voices. They all looked calm.

“It must be nice to be a monk here,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

“Yes, but the selection criteria is quite high,” said Chen Ying.

“I see. I think I remember, you need a degree in Buddhism to be a monk here, right?” said Wang Yao.

“Yes. All the registered temples nowadays only accept monks with a bachelor degree in Buddhism,” said Chen Ying.
