Chapter 152 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (21)

“Young Lady Yaoyao,” Bai Tang said, “prejudice is like a mountain. No matter what you do, it’s always wrong, and he’ll find all sorts of reasons to convince himself.”

Because he cared too much about Yaoyao, Tantai Ziheng treated her inside Yaoyao’s body with all sorts of disdain.

Weng Quan, “…”

Qi Jiayan looked puzzled and said, “Young Lady Bai and Young Villa Master Tantai are fine together. If there are any issues, it’s certainly not because of me. Everything would be perfect without my involvement.”

For a moment, no one spoke.

After a while, Qi Jiayan said, “Young Lady Bai, your complexion doesn’t look good. If you don’t mind, would you allow me to check your pulse?”

“Sure,” Bai Tang unexpectedly cooperated and extended her hand.

Qi Jiayan felt somewhat honored and began earnestly checking Bai Tang’s pulse.

However, he was shocked.

How was this possible?

How could someone with such severe injuries, losing so much blood, still be alive?

It had only been three months, and they had been constantly on the road. The two most severe injuries were in the heart, yet how could she recover so quickly?

Bai Tang softly asked, “Young Master Qi, do I have some incurable disease? Your expression is so serious and grave.”

This was the first time that Yaoyao saw Bai Tang’s eyes filled with amusement.

If it were her, she would definitely not be able to pretend to be submissive to someone who had killed her entire family.

Qi Jiayan withdrew his hand and said, “Young Lady Bai, the injuries around your heart have not fully healed. It’s not advisable to use too much internal energy or engage in strenuous activities.”

Weng Quan quietly remarked, “Did Female Hero Bai use Lightness Skill?”

Qi Jiayan said solemnly, “A sword to the heart is no small matter, it requires careful recuperation. If you can avoid using internal energy, do so.”

Bai Tang replied leisurely, “Young Master Qi, you may not be aware that if it weren’t for the Blood Devil Cult’s leader—this dog thing¹—I wouldn’t have been injured. After being hunted down by him twice, the information about me going to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will definitely not escape him. He has already issued a kill order, and besides this dog thing, others who are after money will come to kill me. Without resorting to force, it is difficult.”

Bai Tang, with a cheeky smile, insulted the rightful owner right in front of him. It felt really satisfying.

Qi Jiayan was angry, “The leader of the Blood Devil Cult is truly despicable and lawless. Young Lady Bai, I need to go to Narrow Heaven to search for a medicinal herb called Lifeless Flower. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep in touch with Young Lady Bai. In that case, I’ll give you a few prescriptions. I also have some excellent Golden Wound Medicine. After Young Lady Bai is injured, apply this medicine, and you will recover quickly without leaving scars.”

Bai Tang blinked, “Young Master Qi, you better keep that thing yourself. The Lifeless Flower you’re looking for happens to be what I’m looking for. Since we’re going the same way, why not travel together?”

Naturally, she had to keep him close by.

It was too coincidental to travel the same path.

Qi Jiayan was quite surprised, “That’s truly fate. Young Lady Bai, Young Hero Weng, if you don’t mind having me along, it’s certainly possible.”

Weng Quan said silently, “Nice to meet you, Young Master Qi.”

Tantai Ziheng would naturally not refuse. In the five years that Qi Jiayan had become famous, there was no patient he couldn’t cure.

Tantai Ziheng said, “Meeting is fate. Traveling together is even better.”

Everyone voiced no objections, and Qi Jiayan was already well-prepared for this journey. The group, initially consisting of three individuals and one soul, had now transformed into a party of four and one soul.

Bai Tang casually asked, “Young Master Qi is a medical practitioner. What is the use of Lifeless Flower?”

Regarding Lifeless Flower, it wasn’t well-known. If she hadn’t gone to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, she wouldn’t have known about this type of flower.

Qi Jiayan answered seriously, “I haven’t seen it myself. I only saw descriptions of Lifeless Flower in my master’s medical records. It is said to grow on the cliffs. Decades ago, a top expert in Lightness Skill picked it. It is said to be able to reunite shattered bones.”
