The Elf

Gnashing her teeth in irritation, Song Yiren caught up to her and said, "So are you saying that I don't have any medical ethics and that only you are the most noble?"

Su Jinyue ignored Song Yiren's bellowing. Enduring the pain, she hopped towards the bed.

When she saw this, Song Yiren grew even more enraged. She stepped forward and stopped right in front of Su Jinyue, "How did I piss you off? Tell me."

As Song Yiren had abruptly blocked her way, Su Jinyue couldn't stop in time. Her body swayed a few times before she managed to regain her balance.

With a cold expression on her face, she looked at Song Yiren and said, "I was just stating the facts of the matter."

The current Song Yiren was still not as evil and vicious as the Song Yiren in her past life. However, when she recalled everything that had happened in her past life, Su Jinyue couldn't suppress her abhorrence towards Song Yiren.

"I can't accept this reason. We grew up together. I know exactly what kind of person you are. You've been cold and indifferent to me these past few days. Unless you have a problem with me, you would never treat me like this. Give me a reason, or we'll just continue dawdling away time.

Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren and said, "There's no reason."

"I don't believe you," Song Yiren said, unconvinced.

"That's your business," Su Jinyue muttered indifferently.

"In that case, we can just remain here like this. I shall see how long you're going to bear with it till." Song Yiren glanced at Su Jinyue's injured leg. She still cared about Su Jinyue very much in her heart. Otherwise, she would not be bothered by Su Jinyue's attitude towards her.

Su Jinyue turned around and hopped towards the doorway. She did not have much strength left in her and would fall if she still did not find something to support her.

Song Yiren quickly stepped forward and blocked Su Jinyue's path again. She had to force an answer out of her today.

Su Jinyue halted in her tracks because she truly did not have any strength left. Her body swayed and she landed onto the ground. Just as the jade bangle on her wrist was about to crash onto the ground, she quickly bent her arm.

"Ah!" Her elbow struck the ground hard, causing her to nearly shed tears from the pain.

"Jinyue!" Song Yiren rushed forward and reached out to help Su Jinyue up. She already regretted acting in a fit of pique with Jinyue. Jinyue was already injured and now, her elbow was probably injured quite badly too.

"Don't touch me!" Su Jinyue's entire face was scrunched up in pain and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

"I'm sorry! I… I just want to make up with you." Song Yiren knew that she was in the wrong, but it was too late to regret it now. Jinyue would probably ignore her even more from now on.

After resting for a moment, Su Jinyue felt much better. She then slowly got up from the ground whilst enduring the pain and coldly glared at Song Yiren. Then, she hopped in the direction of the bed, with a pause between each step.

The skin on her elbow was scraped. Blood slowly trickled down her elbow, dripping onto the jade bangle on her wrist. The jade bangle flickered with a faint white light.

Su Jinyue felt a chill but did not bother too much about it. In this moment, all she wanted to do was to go back to bed and lie down to rest.

Song Yiren knew that Su Jinyue was in a fit of anger. Thus, she turned around and walked outside with a sigh.

After finally making her way to the bed with much difficulty, Su Jinyue supported herself against the bed for a while to catch her breath.

Clenching her teeth, she endured the pain and slowly climbed onto the bed. Just a simple movement that she usually did, also expended a lot of effort.

Leaning weakly against the bed, Su Jinyue rested for a while before lifting her hand and examining her injured elbow. She saw blood stains on it, and a piece of skin had been scraped off.

Song Yiren walked in. She placed the alcohol, cotton balls, medicated powder, gauze, scissors, and tape in front of Su Jinyue. Guiltily glancing at Su Jinyue, she then headed back out. She really wanted to help Jinyue treat her wound, but she was also well aware of Jinyue's temper and knew that she would never let her treat her wound.

Pressing her lips together, Su Jinyue looked at the pile of medicine and tools in front of her. After a long time, she picked up the alcohol and cotton ball to disinfect her wound. There was no need to make life difficult for herself.

She treated her wound swiftly, using the alcohol and cotton ball to wipe off the blood on her wound and arm, sprinkling medicated powder on it and wrapping it with gauze. Having been a doctor for so many years, this kind of small injury was naturally not an issue for her.

After treating the wound, Su Jinyue looked at the jade bangle on her wrist and stretched out her hand to gently stroke the bangle.

It wasn't because she cared about finding her family; she had just subconsciously protected the jade bangle.

A hint of coolness came through her fingertips and Su Jinyue looked at the bangle in surprise. It turned out that it was not an illusion just now.

"Master!" a small voice resounded.

"Who's that?" Su Jinyue raised her eyes and surveyed her surroundings, but did not see anyone in the room.

"Master, I am the little elf in the jade bangle," The voice rang out again.

Taken aback, Su Jinyue closed her eyes in a flash and lay down. It must be a hallucination, how else can there be an elf in the jade bangle. Looks like I have to get a good rest.

"Master, this is not a hallucination. It was your blood dripping onto the jade bangle that awakened me," the elf explained.

The scene of her final meeting with Song Yiren in her past life flashed across Su Jinyue's mind. Can it be that the golden gleam in Song Yiren's eyes is related to the jade bangle?

"Yes it is. Little Elf has a cultivation manual here. After Master has practiced it, not only will your eyes be able see through things, you will also be able to control the actions of other people as your rank increases."

"You can tell what I'm thinking?" Su Jinyue asked in shock.

"Little Elf has already been bound by a blood contract to Master, so of course we're telepathic. If Master doesn't want Little Elf to know what you're thinking, you can block Little Elf."

"How do I block you?" Su Jinyue asked.

"You only need to say the word 'spirit' to Little Elf. If Master wants to unblock Little Elf, you just have to chant the word 'spirit' twice."

"Spirit!" Su Jinyue hurriedly gave it a go. Then, she called 'Little Elf' a few times in her heart, but Little Elf did not respond.

"Spirit! Spirit!" Su Jinyue unlocked Little Elf and called out to it again.

"Master!" This time, Little Elf immediately responded.

"This is so magical!" Su Jinyue exclaimed. She had originally thought that the stories of gods, ghosts and elves were all made up. Yet now, after experiencing it personally, she began to believe in it a little.

"Little Elf, how do you learn the cultivation technique that you just mentioned?" Su Jinyue asked when she recalled what Little Elf had said before. Only when she became stronger, would her fate not be controlled by others.

"Master, focus. Little Elf will teach you how to practice this cultivation technique."

"Okay!" Su Jinyue hurriedly did as she was told.

"The cultivation manual is divided into five stages: wisdom eye, heart eye, profound eye, spiritual eye, and sky eye. As your rank increases, not only can Master know the fate of others, but Master can also kill people invisibly."

Su Jinyue felt thrilled and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a magical technique in this world." Furthermore, she was lucky enough to get her hands on it.

"The method to cultivate wisdom eyes is very simple. Master just needs to concentrate, while Little Elf injects spiritual energy into your eyes."

"Spiritual energy?" She hadn't heard of such a thing.

Little Elf explained, "It's the chill that Master felt just now. It's just that Little Elf's spiritual energy is limited, so Master will have to rely on yourself in the future."

"In that case, how can I obtain spiritual energy?" Su Jinyue asked.

"Look for spiritual objects that contain spiritual energy. For example, jade, ginseng, and lingzhi all have spiritual energy."

"I see, let's begin then." Su Jinyue concentrated. She was itching to get on with it.
