ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect...When s.h.i.+ Yunxu got back from his meeting with Li Guoliang, the young master of the ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect began to violently throw up blood. As a result of holding the bad blood that had built up during the time he sat at the hall waiting to hear back from the GuBaiJin sect.
Alarmed by what was going on, Shen Chunqiu rushed to the side of the young master, whose face was contorted in pain.
"Young master s.h.i.+! Please breathe slowly!"
The sect Physician began patting the back of s.h.i.+ Yunxu as though encourage him to send out any remnant of pent up blood inside his body. Shen Chunqiu used that opportunity to examine the body of his young master, feeling the pulse of the other for any anomalies.
Beads of sweat formed on the brow of the young master whose mouth was coated in blood.
Slowly, but gently s.h.i.+ Yunxu was placed on his bed, while his shoes were taken off by the Physician. Ignoring the blood stained floor, Shen Chunqiu quickly opened his bag which contained the tools of his trade and took out a folded brown cloth, placing them on the bed of his young master.
s.h.i.+ Yunxu cracked open an eye and what he saw caused him to stiffen in bed, for it was the dread sharp needles that Shen Chunqiu usually carried along with him on his house visits.
"Physician Shen, promise me it will not hurt!"
Shen Chunqiu had a grim look on his face, already upset that the young master never once stood up to clear the blood that was storing up within him. How else could such a large amount of blood have come out of his body?
He looked at the pale faced young master, whose fear of needles was both funny to him, but at the same time quite annoying.
"How can someone who fears being p.r.i.c.ked by a needle, hope to take up the mantle of becoming the leader of ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect?!"
Keeping his thought to himself, Shen Chunqiu said instead, "Young master s.h.i.+, you only have to look the other way and I"ll be done in no time. I promise."
Speaking in a tone that conveyed sincerity and sympathy for the plight of his young master, Physician Shen watched as s.h.i.+ Yunxu did as told, turning his head away from the other.
Within him, Shen Chunqiu sighed, he"d witnessed few occasions that required young master s.h.i.+ to be in need of an acupuncture needle. The other avoided it like a plaque and would squirm when it came to the pointed object invading the skin of his body.
"Young master s.h.i.+, if you stiffen too much, the needle could break, digging into your skin and inflict more pain to your body!"
In truth, s.h.i.+ Yunxu was as stiff as an ironing board, hearing what the Physician said made him relax a bit on the bed.

Taking out the thinnest needle from the row of needles which varied in length and size. The Physician paused for a mere second before inserting it into the exposed arm of s.h.i.+ Yunxu.
