Chapter 4: The First Sign of Dual-Eye Abilities

Chu Muyue’s words made Hong Yushi shiver once again, and she looked at Chu Muyue with fear.

“You… you are not Chu Muyue!” Hong Yushi shook her head, her pale lips trembling as she spoke.

“I’m not Chu Muyue?” Chu Muyue raised an eyebrow. Whether in her past life or this one, she was Chu Muyue; how could she not be?

“Right, you are not Chu Muyue!” Hong Yushi seemed to have thought of something, nodding as if muttering to herself, “Chu Muyue is a cowardly weakling. She wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me, so you… you are not Chu Muyue!”

Hearing Hong Yushi’s words, Huang Yaru and Xie Jiarong shuddered, feeling a cold breeze blow against their backs. They retreated a few steps, their legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the ground, staring at Chu Muyue in terror.

Chu Muyue chuckled softly and walked slowly toward Hong Yushi, sighing slightly. “It seems you really mistook my past indifference for weakness!”

Hong Yushi instinctively backed away, but she tripped over Huang Yaru’s feet as she sat on the ground. With a scream, she also fell onto the ground.

“From the moment you pushed me off the cliff, I knew that as long as I was alive, you wouldn’t let me go. Since that’s the case, why should I continue to tolerate you?”

She knew that the matter of her rebirth must never be known by anyone, not even her father or her master.

Chu Muyue flipped her wrist, and between her index and middle fingers appeared a thin silver needle, glinting with a chilling light.

Hong Yushi, collapsed on the ground and retreating, felt her heart race upon hearing this. “What are you doing? You can’t hurt me!”

Just as Chu Muyue was about to move the silver needle toward Hong Yushi, her body paused slightly. A sharp, intense pain struck her eyes, causing her to instinctively shut them.

Chu Muyue raised a hand to cover her eyes. The intense pain lasted only a few seconds before gradually fading away.

The pain in her eyes made Chu Muyue frown involuntarily, and she opened her eyes to confirm if there was anything wrong with them.

However, when Chu Muyue opened her eyes, she discovered that the scene before her was completely different from what it had been a moment ago.

Chu Muyue realized that she could see Hong Yushi’s entire meridian system laid out before her, as if Hong Yushi were transparent.

Such a shocking sight terrified even Chu Muyue, who had been reborn. She tried closing her eyes again, but when she opened them, she still saw the same scene.

“My eyes… can I see through things now?” Chu Muyue whispered in shock.

She noticed some unhealthy signs within Hong Yushi’s body; many of her organs and meridians were blocked by black substances.

Chu Muyue frowned slightly. Did this mean Hong Yushi’s health was poor?

Among the five arts she had learned from Dongfang Sheng was medicine—the traditional Chinese medicine passed down since ancient times in the Great Qian Empire.

Perhaps it was because Chu Muyue had figured out the situation inside Hong Yushi’s body, but everything her eyes rested upon returned to normal.

Chu Muyue frowned, looking at Hong Yushi. Combining her observation with what she had just seen, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she let out a cold sneer in her heart.

So, Hong Yushi had been taking drugs. However, judging by her body and complexion, it hadn’t been for long, and the dosage was relatively small, so the drugs hadn’t caused much damage to Hong Yushi yet.
