Taking Her Pulse—The Feeling of a Racing Heart

(Image · Wu Feng)

"Ah, Ye Chen, you know medicine too?" Ning Tian hadn't seen through Ye Chen's thoughts. Instead, she was rather surprised that he had been born into a family of physicians.

Because there were Healing System Soul Masters, physicians were actually quite rare, and their lineages had largely been wiped out completely.

Any medical family that still retained its inheritance undoubtedly possessed genuine skill!

That was why Ning Tian was so surprised.

"Just a little."

Ye Chen put on a modest act.

The Ye Family's medical inheritance was quite formidable, particularly in acupuncture. In addition, the system had directly instilled A Hundred Explanations of Acupuncture into him, bringing Ye Chen's acupuncture skills to an almost perfect level, specializing in the treatment of all kinds of difficult and complicated illnesses.

However, Soul Masters rarely got sick. Ordinary physicians mostly treated the regular people of noble families.

"Then do you know how to take a pulse? Could you take a look at mine?"

Ning Tian giggled. Before Ye Chen could answer, she moved right beside him and placed her slender jade-like hands on his thigh. She even took the initiative to roll up her sleeve, revealing a fair section of wrist.

Clearly, Ning Tian had a particular interest in this sort of thing...

"Uh, let me take a look..."

Ye Chen did not refuse. He gently reached out and placed his fingers on Ning Tian's wrist. The touch was warm, smooth, and soft.

As expected of the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her skin was truly enviable. Ye Chen could not help stroking it a few extra times.

Naturally, Ning Tian noticed.

She secretly glanced at Ye Chen, then swiftly looked away, her face flushing slightly.

She suspected Ye Chen was doing it on purpose, but she had no proof. Besides, she was too embarrassed to interrupt him and could only endure it...

But even if Ye Chen really was doing it deliberately, she did not think it was a big deal.

Boys being a little lustful was normal...

And Ye Chen was so handsome. Besides, it was not as if she was losing out by letting him touch her...

Ye Chen was indeed doing it on purpose, simply to test Ning Tian.

Because of his Charisma, Ye Chen had discovered that women seemed unusually tolerant of him, though he did not yet know just how far that tolerance went.

If he confessed to her directly, could they get a room tonight?

Still, that was not very realistic. He was not some incubus, and his Charisma was not that high yet.

As he pondered, Ye Chen seriously took Ning Tian's pulse.

After all, he came from a family of physicians. Though his medical skills were nowhere near as incredible as his great-grandfather's, taking a simple pulse was effortless for him.

Sure enough, it was more or less as Ye Chen had expected. Soul Masters were unlikely to have any ailments, much less someone like Ning Tian, who had grown up surrounded by rare heavenly treasures in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her physique far surpassed that of ordinary people.

She was extremely healthy in every regard, with no problems whatsoever.

"Click~"

At that moment, Wu Feng walked out of the Infirmary.

She immediately saw Ye Chen and Ning Tian sitting close together, with Ye Chen holding Ning Tian's hand. She had no idea what they were doing.

"Ah! You two..."

At the sight, Wu Feng could not help letting out a cry, her mind going blank.

What had happened??

Why were Ning Tian and Ye Chen suddenly holding hands??

Wasn't this way too fast??

"Ah, Wu Feng, you're out."

Hearing her, Ning Tian instantly pulled back her hand. She nervously gripped the hem of her clothes and hurriedly explained, "Ye Chen comes from a family of physicians, so I asked him to take my pulse and see whether there was anything wrong with me."

"Really?"

Only then did Wu Feng relax, though she still looked at Ning Tian suspiciously.

She felt that there was something off about these two, yet she could not put her finger on it.

They had not secretly kissed while she was gone, had they?

"Yes, that's right. Student Ning Tian is very healthy. There's nothing wrong with her." Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

Soul Masters were basically immune to illness. They could not possibly have minor ailments; if they did, it would be something serious.

For example, some men and women had issues in that department.

Many such problems were caused by flaws in their martial souls, while others resulted from injuries. Healing System Soul Masters could not treat such difficult conditions at all. They could only seek out truly capable physicians like them. Ye Chen had seen quite a few cases like that.

"Alright, then take my pulse too, Ye Chen. See whether there's anything wrong with me~" Wu Feng said as she moved beside Ye Chen and extended her hand before him with a smile.

Ye Chen had taken Ning Tian's pulse, so she had to let him take hers too. Otherwise, she would feel as though she had lost out.

"You don't need to do this, Student Wu Feng. Soul Masters are generally very healthy. Only ordinary people get sick often." Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"No, what if there really is a problem? You took Ning Tian's pulse, so I want you to take mine too..."

Naturally, Wu Feng refused to let it go and insistently pulled Ye Chen into examining her.

Ye Chen was somewhat helpless, but he could not win against Wu Feng, so he gave her an examination as well.

Wu Feng sat beside Ye Chen, rolled up her sleeve, and placed her hand in his lap.

Ye Chen gently held Wu Feng's wrist and focused on feeling her pulse.

Wu Feng glanced sideways and secretly looked at Ye Chen before quickly withdrawing her gaze. A faint blush quietly spread across her face.

How can this guy look so handsome when he's serious...

Wu Feng's heart began racing uncontrollably, and her pulse quickened as well, becoming somewhat uneven.

Feeling Wu Feng's pulse, Ye Chen was slightly stunned.

Because his great-grandfather had told him about this kind of pulse before. It was supposedly the feeling of one's heart being moved...

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Wu Feng's normal pulse. Moreover, her blood and vital energy were abundant, and her physical condition was much better than Ning Tian's.

After all, she was an Assault System Soul Master. Her physical condition naturally far surpassed that of a Support System Soul Master.

"Mm, Student Wu Feng, you're very healthy too. There's nothing wrong with you."

Ye Chen nodded and slowly withdrew his hand, his expression calm as he pretended not to have noticed anything.

"Hehe, that's good~"

Wu Feng giggled, feeling delighted inside.

It was as though being declared "healthy" by Ye Chen was something truly honorable.

The group left the Infirmary and headed toward the dormitories.

"Ye Chen, why don't you come sit in our dorm for a while? Have something to eat and rest a bit~" As if recalling something, Wu Feng suggested with a smile.

"Uh, wouldn't going to the girls' dormitory violate school rules..." Ye Chen rubbed his nose, feeling inexplicably awkward. He had not expected Wu Feng to make such an invitation.

"The school rules only say that breaking into the girls' dormitory will get you expelled. They don't say girls can't invite boys into their dormitory." Wu Feng pursed her lips.

"Yeah, Ye Chen, you must have used up quite a bit of energy fighting earlier. Come have something to eat in our dorm before going back~" Ning Tian suggested as well.

She wanted to grow closer to Ye Chen too.

On one hand, she had a bit of a crush on him.

On the other hand, she knew the inside details of the Freshman Tournament. Teams consisted of three people. If she could team up with Ye Chen, they could lie back and take the championship. No one would refuse that.
