"Already gone...?"
Xiao Yan murmured subconsciously, with disappointment and helplessness visible to the naked eye on his face.
Of course, in fact, Xiao Yan also knows very well that even he may not stay in a place for long. It seems that for Wan Guniang, it is just a place to stay for a while, and he will not stay much at all.
However, I just heard the news about Wan Guniang, and when I asked, I found out that she had left long ago. This kind of psychological gap would make anyone feel a little disappointed.
"Forget it, let's go then."
However, disappointment is not a reason to be depressed. Xiao Yan gently rubbed his eyebrows and quickly adjusted his state.
We can always meet again, it's just a little late.
And Little Fairy Doctor stood quietly in front of Xiao Yan, watching the indescribable expression flash across his now no longer green cheeks, and the initial doubts and worries in his heart also disappeared.
Judging from Xiao Yan's expression, it seems that he and Wan Jiejie have a particularly good relationship... Just hearing that Wan Jiejie has left this place makes me so disappointed.
Little Fairy Doctor is talented and a doctor. It is just a common thing for her to observe people's words and expressions. It is natural that she can see something fishy under the expression on Xiao Yan's face.
Little Fairy Doctor, who was originally a little worried and suspicious about the friend Wan Jiejie mentioned, is now gradually relieved.
With Wan Jiejie's personality, being able to be mentioned as a friend by her, and someone who cares about her so much, I think her character is not much different.
"Wan Jiejie mentioned you to me before."
Little Fairy Doctor said.
"What did she say?"
"She said that she has a friend who will come to Green Mountain Town some time after she leaves."
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan, and then continued, "She also said that she thought the two of us should get along and help each other when we meet in the future."
Xiao Yan paused, although it always felt strange to say this from a stranger she had never met, but if it was Wan Guniang... she would indeed say such a thing.
What's more, with Wan Guniang's temperament, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with her. Since she is someone who knows Wan Guniang's name, she is worthy of trust.
"Yeah, I understand."
Xiao Yan nodded. Although he still had no trust in Little Fairy Doctor, he believed in Wan Guniang and Wan Guniang would definitely not harm him.
"It's just that I came to Green Mountain Town. Joining your Mercenary Guard is just a free ride. I will soon enter Magical Beast Mountain Range to practice. I won't stay at Green Mountain Town for much longer. If you need my help with anything, I can help you."
As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's face. To be honest, she was just waiting for Xiao Yan to say this.
"Well, to be honest, I do need your help with something."
Since he had already made a plan in his mind, Little Fairy Doctor would naturally not hesitate and speak out immediately.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "You say."
"Not far from here is a Bottomless Cliff. There is a cave left by a mysterious strong man hidden in the Strange Wood Thorns under the cliff."
"Oh?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. Originally, he thought that Little Fairy Doctor asked him to help, mostly to get rid of the guy who was following him like a follower when he entered Magical Beast Mountain Range.
After all, although I have never experienced the feeling of being stalked by followers, I have seen it a lot.
What's more, the cave left by the mysterious strong man must have many good things in it, and it's worth taking the risk to try it.
"... I might not be able to handle it all by myself, so I still need your help."
Little Fairy Doctor doesn't know what Xiao Yan is thinking, but he is just honest and fair. "After the matter is completed, you and I will share the benefits equally, how about that?"
If Wan Jiejie had not left too early, and it was the first time that she had some doubts about that place, and she was not even sure about it, otherwise she would not have put off such a big matter until now.
After all, it was a relic left by a mysterious and powerful person. Whether it was for herself or those in Green Mountain Town, the temptation was too great. She had to consider the possibility of long nights and endless dreams, and countless troubles in the future.
Wan Jiejie had reminded her of this early on. She could not leave her safety to the conscience of others. This would be irresponsible to herself.
After understanding this, even if it was the annoying Mu Li and Wolf Head Mercenary Group who led them to the mountains to collect herbs this time, Little Fairy Doctor would have to take the risk.
Fortunately, the friend Wan Jiejie mentioned came and seemed trustworthy, so Little Fairy Doctor finally chose to take the risk.
"There's nothing wrong with me."
Xiao Yan shook his head, but said, "However, I have something to ask you."
"You say."
"When you and I first met, you said you would take me to the cave of a mysterious powerful man. Even after it happened, the benefits would be equally divided..."
Xiao Yan crossed his arms and tapped his arms lightly with his fingertips. He hesitated to speak, but Little Fairy Doctor knew exactly what he meant.
"You think I can't be trusted? Indeed, no one would easily believe pie-in-the-sky things. If you don't believe me, I know very little about you when we first met."
"But..."
"... But, since Wan Jiejie said that you and I can help each other, it has proven that you are a trustworthy person."
Before Little Fairy Doctor could finish speaking, Xiao Yan said, causing the beauty in front of her to slightly widen her eyes.
"In other words, whether you are trustworthy or not is up for debate. However, I believe Wan Guniang. Since she said this, she is absolutely sure... she will not harm me."
Xiao Yan said, "As for if there are any benefits in the cave, let's wait until the time comes."
Looking at Xiao Yan in front of her, Little Fairy Doctor was inevitably a little stunned. She didn't expect that Xiao Yan actually believed in Wan Jiejie to this extent...
"Let's not talk about this anymore. When will we set off?"
Xiao Yan asked.
Little Fairy Doctor came back to his senses and said, "It's definitely too late now, so let's go back first."
"We'll make a long-term decision later in the evening."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he recognized what Little Fairy Doctor said, and then left the woods with Little Fairy Doctor and returned to the camp where the herb collection team was stationed.
"Xiao Yanzi."
Yao Lao's whisper came to Xiao Yan's ears.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Do you really believe her so easily?"
Yao Lao is different from Xiao Yan. He always tries to figure out the other person's thoughts with the greatest malice when it comes to relationships and trust between people.
