Although Yun Canglang's hand couldn't be cured immediately, Yun Canglang's trauma was gradually disappearing under Yun Sheng's medical treatment.

His episodes became less and less frequent, from once every ten days to once a month, and in the end, they vanished completely.

Yun Canglang's hand, too, gradually regained a bit feeling under Yun Sheng's frequent use of hidden needle art.

Although he wasn't able to make a fist just yet, but he could already feel the temperature and pain.

This made Yun Bahe who had been skeptical about Yun Sheng at first, speechless. Dou Li was also overjoyed at the news, only Yun Cangxue felt unhappy.

Yun Bahe also admitted the existence of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a disease that had never appeared on the Wu Ji continent before.

But Yun Sheng was still reluctant to visit the General's Estate, lest she would have to fight with Yun Bahe every time.

Dou Li was endlessly grateful to Yun Sheng and trusted her greatly.

Half a month passed. On this day, Yun Sheng went to the General's Estate to perform her daily acupuncture treatment on Yun Canglang and also check whether he suffered a backlash of his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The time she spent with Yun Canglang changed Yun Sheng's view of the Yun Family slightly.

Originally, Yun Sheng thought that Yun Canglang was just as unreasonable as Yun Cangxue. Only then did she realize that Yun Canglang was a person with a very easy-going personality and a wide range of knowledge.

Although he had once stood on a bloody battlefield, there was no trace of murderous intend around him. Also, during the days where his hands were still sound, he liked to play Xiao and Drum, being one of the rare talents among the generals of Great Zhou who was both talented in combat and arts.

He also told Yun Sheng about many different customs in Great Zhou Empire.

He initially thought that Yun Sheng was only a miraculous doctor, at most a bit more intelligent than ordinary people.

But the more they interacted, the more Yun Canglang felt that her mannerism and insight on things were beyond the norm.

This child was not just talk, Brother Li really found a treasure this time, Yun Canglang secretly thought.

"Uncle Yun, your Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has been cured, and your left hand has also shown improvement, your atrophied muscles recovered a lot. You only need to pay attention to your diet and rest a lot in the future, that way your body will gradually recover. You can't train your douqi as you did in the past, but you can at least do some simple training," Yun Sheng put away her Four Seasons Glazed Needles and discussed Yun Canglang's condition.

Because the tendons and veins in his left hand were blocked, Yun Canglang wasn't able to circulate his douqi as he used to, but his body had a good foundation, if recovered properly, even if he couldn't return to his past self, there wouldn't be any signs of illness left.

Yun Canglang gathered his thoughts, in his mind, Yun Sheng was only comforting him.

With this ruined body, how could he return to his past self? He thought for a while, suddenly saying, "Yan Girl, Uncle Yun wants your help with something."

After all this time, Yun Sheng and Yun Canglang had long become familiar with each other. Yun Canglang was a bold person. He did not call Yun Sheng Genius Doctor Yan, but Yan Girl. Even so, Yun Sheng was quite comfortable with this way of calling.

"Just say it Uncle, but I have to remind you first, this matter is better not related to that stubborn father of yours," Yun Sheng said, forgiving Yun Canglang was one thing, Yun Bahe another.

Even now, every time Yun Bahe saw Yun Sheng, he would dismissively snort at her, in return Yun Sheng always gifted him with an eye roll.

As a matter of fact, Yun Canglang didn't stop this childish fighting between his father and Yun Sheng, he rather liked it actually.

It gave Yun Canglang the illusion of a grandchild and her grandfather getting along.

Compared to his nephew Tang Yu, who was uneducated and a trouble-maker, Yun Canglang really preferred for Yun Sheng to be his niece.

"I was asking you to help look at the Brothers in the Yun Family Army." With this, Yun Canglang and Yun Sheng left the General's Estate together.

Great Zhou Empire was dominated by martial arts, which meant that the Yun Family was in full favor. The former Great Zhou Emperor gave the Yun Family permission to form their own army, which was the current Yun Family's Private Army.

This army only abided the Yun Family's words, and their salaries were also directly paid by the Yun Family. They were mostly responsible for watching over and guarding the Yun Family's territory.

After Yun Canglang's injury, he hadn't visited the army even once. All their matters were handed over to his Third Sister, Yun Cangxue, to take care of.

His reason for brining Yun Sheng there was that after his defeat, the soldiers who fought with him were transferred to the Yun Family Army.

These brothers accompanied Yun Canglang from childhood, and fought with him on that fateful day. Because of their family background however, they weren't able to receive the same treatment as Yun Canglang. He heard that those brothers had been suffering a lot over the years.

Yun Canglang had always wanted to see his old brothers, but because of his illness, he couldn't set a foot outside the General's Estate. Now that he had recovered physically, he couldn't wait to see them.

In the past, he didn't know that something like a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder existed, only after Yun Sheng mentioned it, did he realize that actually many brothers in the Yun Family's Army suffered from it.

The two of them walked the streets of Yujing City together, passing crowds and horses, seeing the streets which were different from those several years ago, at this moment, Yun Canglang had a moment of awe.

He was like a lost child, turning around and observing, not knowing how to face the crowd.

After Yun Canglang got his 'hysteria', in order to prevent him from hurting others, Yun Bahe forbade him from going outside. This was the first time he left the General's Estate in so many years.

While Yun Canglang was at a loss, a warm feeling came from his left hand.

As he looked down, he saw Yun Sheng's soft little hand holding his big hand.

The action was small, but Yun Canglang could clearly feel the reassuring intentions in Yun Sheng's encouraging eyes. He started to smile as they walked into the crowd.

After taking a few steps, Yun Canglang felt hungry. Only then did he remember that while he was chatting with Yun Sheng in the morning, he forgot to eat.

"Uncle Yun was negligent. It's time for lunch, you're still growing, the rations at the Yun Family's Army aren't very tasty," Yun Canglang said with an embarrassed smile.

He chose a famous old-fashioned restaurant in the city and took Yun Sheng to eat a meal.

***

When Yun Family's Uncle and Niece entered, they did not notice the three pairs of eyes looking over to them from the restaurant.

"Strange, if I'm not mistaken, isn't that the little girl from the Royal Magic Academy? How come she is walking around with a middle-aged man, it can't be..." In an elegant seat in the restaurant, three people were sitting together, Ye Beiming, Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao.

This was the restaurant the three usually visited, unexpectedly Yun Canglang and Yun Sheng chose this restaurant for their meal.

Yun Sheng and Yun Canglang entered still holding hands, which could make people easily misunderstand.

Ye Beiming's eyes slightly darkened as he looked at the smiling Yun Sheng. For some reason, he felt that the smile on Yun Sheng's face was very dazzling.
