The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 235 Situ Xin’s Formidable (1)_1
Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Situ Xin’s Formidable (1)_1
It was uncertain what came over Situ Xin; as she was about to conclude the martial arts competition, the image of a newly emerged Tai Chi Fist, its Martial Arts Mental Method and movements, suddenly flashed in her mind from within the Jade Token. This new Tai Chi Fist was entirely different from the one previously contained in the Jade Token. The former focused purely on offensive attacks, whereas the newly emerged Tai Chi Fist was entirely soft and non-injurious. In certain situations, such Tai Chi could even save lives.
Seized by a sudden inspiration, Situ Xin switched her final move to a Tai Chi posture and then gently pushed her palms toward Xiang Yang. Despite the slowness of Situ Xin’s final move, Xiang Yang had no chance to evade and received her palm strike squarely and forcefully.
Then, Xiang Yang’s body was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.
At the moment Xiang Yang received Situ Xin’s palm strike, Mei couldn’t help but cry out, "Big Brother, be careful." Although the others didn’t shout out, the concern was clearly evident on their faces.
As soon as Xiang Yang hit the ground, Mei rushed out first, sprinting towards him. Watching the distraught Mei racing past her, almost on the verge of tears, Situ Xin’s face revealed an expression of understanding.
However, just as Mei was about to reach Xiang Yang, she was stopped by Situ Xin’s shout, "Hey, if you really care about him, don’t touch him right now."
After the recent bout, Xiang Yang was a complete mess, but Situ Xin showed no signs of having been in a fight, standing there casually. When Xiang Yang fell, Baibai swiftly leapt into Situ Xin’s arms, comfortably snuggling up to her.
Mei, halted by Situ Xin’s yell, stopped immediately and dared not move. Her facial expression grew even more anxious. At this point, she couldn’t hold back any longer and directly shouted at Situ Xin, "What exactly have you done to him?"
Situ Xin, looking at the normally calm Mei now devoid of composure, sighed in her heart. Ah, love really isn’t a good thing. Yet, Situ Xin couldn’t resist the urge to tease her a little. "What have I done to him? I believe everyone present saw what happened. Moreover, we were just competing, and it’s normal for injuries to occur in a competition," Situ Xin said indifferently while holding Baibai.
"You," Mei was provoked by Situ Xin’s words and stood up, ready to take action against her, but fortunately, she was pulled away by the arriving Xing and Wu Qing.
Wu Qing rebuked Mei in a low voice, "Mei, calm down."
At this moment, Old Deng, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo walked over from the side. Old Deng’s face was a complex mix of emotions. He felt joy at Situ Xin’s tremendous ability and no longer had to worry about the future of The Dark Division. However, he was also very concerned about Xiang Yang who was sent flying by Situ Xin. Xiang Yang held an important place in Old Deng’s heart. Initially, Old Deng considered Xiang Yang for the position of Leader of The Dark Division, but after observing him for a while, he realized that Xiang Yang was too soft-hearted, especially towards the members of The Dark Division. This was not suitable for the Leader of The Dark Division.
"Hmph, to be so arrogant when outmatched in skill," Old Master Situ couldn’t stand seeing his beloved granddaughter being slighted and spoke irritably as soon as he approached.
"Oh, come on, you old man, why are you quarreling with the kid?" Old Deng hurriedly intervened to smooth things over. After speaking, he turned to Situ Xin, "Xiao Xin, is Xiang Yang alright?"
Seeing the worry in Old Deng’s eyes, Situ Xin knew it was almost time to explain, "He’s fine. I noticed that the injury he sustained earlier hadn’t healed well and his foundation was also unstable, so I just treated him a bit," Situ Xin said casually.
"Oh, that’s good to hear." Old Deng didn’t pay much attention to what Situ Xin said next; once he heard the first part from her confirming there was no issue, his mind was at ease. He was certain that Situ Xin wouldn’t mislead him.
"How can he be alright when Big Brother has been lying there motionless all this time?" Mei, anxious that Old Deng had so readily believed Situ Xin, disregarded all else. "Old Deng, please call Old Ji from The Dark Division to come and check on Big Brother," she pleaded with tears in her voice.
"I want to make it clear now, if you touch him at this moment, and anything happens to him, I will not be held responsible," Situ Xin kindly warned again. It seems that apart from Mei, others in The Dark Division didn’t trust Situ Xin much either. But what Situ Xin said was indeed the truth.
When she launched her final move at Xiang Yang, she had already concentrated Spiritual Energy in her palm. As she struck Xiang Yang, she also infused the Spiritual Energy into his body. Currently, the Spiritual Energy was repairing the damaged meridians within Xiang Yang’s body at a slow pace.
Situ Xin wasn’t deceiving them. If anyone moved Xiang Yang now, the Spiritual Energy within him would not follow the original path it was set upon to repair his injuries. Instead, it could be detrimental.
The move Situ Xin had used was the one that emerged on the Jade Token the last time she advanced. She had practiced it when she had the chance but had yet to find an opportunity to test it. She had initially planned to experiment with Baibai, but Baibai managed to evade her. Just a moment ago, in a stroke of inspiration, she used the move on Xiang Yang, turning him into her guinea pig.
This also allowed Baibai, who was watching from aside, to sigh in relief: "Thank goodness, there’s a scapegoat this time." Because previously, whenever Situ Xin concocted some new trick, she would find Baibai if there was no one else to experiment on.
Situ Xin was keeping an eye on the flow of Spiritual Energy within Xiang Yang’s body. Seeing the energy obediently navigating the route she had set, she thought, "Xiang Yang is really lucky. It worked perfectly on the first try."
Prompted by what Situ Xin said, those ready to help Xiang Yang up stopped their movements. Each person looked towards Old Deng, waiting for his direction.
And Old Deng looked to Situ Xin, expecting some sign from her.
So, they stood in a deadlock for over half an hour, with Mei growing increasingly anxious. If not for Xing and Wu Qing holding her back, she would have long gone to raise Xiang Yang up.
