"Strange... Was that just my imagination?"

"Why did this eerie masked youth give off such a safe, comforting aura?"

Xiao Yi Xian did not know what kind of magic he possessed, but before she realized it, she had moved her feet, cast aside her fear of magical beasts, and sat beside the youth.

She also said to the waiter, "Little Tang, bring me a bowl of wontons too."

Clearly, Xiao Yi Xian, who lived in Green Mountain Town, often ate at this noodle shop. Even the waiter knew her.

In a Short While, the waiter brought over a steaming bowl of wontons. He secretly gave Xiao Yi Xian a thumbs-up and whispered, "Xiao Yi Xian, you're really brave. You actually dared to sit beside him. My legs have gone weak from fright..."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly, then glanced at Su Qingyun a few times, observing his condition before taking the initiative to speak.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Yi Xian. You're not from Green Mountain Town, are you? Did you come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt magic cores or gather medicinal herbs?"

"Neither. I just came out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Su Qingyun was somewhat surprised to see that the girl was so bold that she had directly sat beside him.

When had Xiao Yi Xian become this brave?

Xiao Yi Xian noticed that even while eating wontons, Su Qingyun was unwilling to remove his mask. He merely fed them into his mouth through the opening beneath the mask's ghostly face.

All she could see were the youth's pearly white teeth, while his lips seemed somewhat pale. Only after being moistened by the broth did they regain a little color.

Xiao Yi Xian looked into Su Qingyun's eyes. His starry eyes were deep and beautiful, but the area around them looked somewhat hollow, with dark circles beneath them.

She immediately thought, This youth just came out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He must have gone through a brutal battle and been injured without realizing it.

She could not help grabbing Su Qingyun's hand and taking his pulse.

The youth instinctively pulled his hand back, but Xiao Yi Xian's medical skills were superb. In that brief instant, she had already felt Su Qingyun's pulse.

Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned stern, and the way she looked at Su Qingyun instantly changed. "You..."

"I... What's wrong?"

By then, Su Qingyun had barely filled his stomach. He stroked Little Purple's head and thought that since Xiao Yi Xian had approached him herself, perhaps he could find an opportunity to give her the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra.

Yet Xiao Yi Xian looked grave, as though she were looking at a critically ill patient, and spoke to Su Qingyun very seriously.

"Would it be convenient for you to remove your mask so I can examine your complexion and tongue coating?"

"It wouldn't..."

"You don't want to take it off? That's fine... Even without examining your complexion and tongue coating, I can basically confirm it. Your pulse is weak and heavy, your limbs are cold, and your vitality is frail. You are extremely weak. These symptoms either mean you have excessively depleted your vital essence... or suffered severe internal injuries. You must receive treatment. If your condition continues to deteriorate, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Come with me to the Medical Hall. I'll write you a medicinal formula and treat you."

Hearing that, Su Qingyun felt unbearably embarrassed.

Especially with so many people watching. Being told by a girl that his body was weak... He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Sure enough, the passersby around them began to discuss it.

"That kid rides a Third Tier Amethyst Winged Lion, but he's actually weak?"

"At such a young age, could he have indulged himself too much and ruined his body?"

"Or maybe he was young and reckless. Thinking that a Third Tier magical beast could protect him, he ventured deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range and was injured by a stronger magical beast!"

"I wonder which family's young master from the empire came out to gain experience. I'm so jealous. He even has an Amethyst Winged Lion as a mount."

"The Amethyst Winged Lion isn't an ordinary magical beast. Anyone capable of finding and taming one must be an important figure from one of the Three Great Clans of the empire, or perhaps even the Misty Cloud Sect or the imperial family, right?"

"What a pity. His identity may be mysterious, but his body is weak. Hahaha, I feel a little more balanced now."

Hearing the ridicule from the passersby, several beads of cold sweat ran down Su Qingyun's forehead. He could accept them mocking his looks, insulting his talent, or calling him trash.

But calling him weak! Su Qingyun absolutely refused to admit it!

You're the weak ones! If you've got the nerve, try getting pinned down by a Dou Emperor for half a month! With a Dou Emperor's body, cultivators like you, who only have a few stages of Dou Qi as Dou Zhes, would probably be done for in a day! Su Qingyun had troubles he could not voice. A bitter smile appeared on his face beneath the mask. "I did experience some indescribable things in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but I'm not as seriously ill as you say. I'll slowly recover on my own."

Su Qingyun stood up, patted Little Purple, and prepared to leave.

He did not want a crowd of people laughing at him for being weak!

One diagnosis from Xiao Yi Xian had utterly destroyed Su Qingyun's dignity as a man.

(╥_╥) Who could understand his suffering?

"Sigh, many patients in the past were just like you. When they could still be treated, they always told me that they knew their own bodies and could hold on. In the end, their conditions worsened until even immortals could not save them, and they could only wait for death."

Xiao Yi Xian spread her hands, sighed, and spoke helplessly.

At that moment, the passersby also laughed and said, "Young Master, just listen to Xiao Yi Xian!"

"Xiao Yi Xian is the best physician in Green Mountain Town. Her diagnosis can't be wrong!"

"We're all men. We understand, we all understand!"

"Young Master, don't be afraid of seeing a doctor~"

Yun Yun! This is all your fault!!!! Su Qingyun roared furiously in his heart, his expression utterly miserable.

At that moment, Yun Yun was on her way back to the Misty Cloud Sect, radiant, thoroughly satisfied, and in peak condition. She suddenly sneezed midair and could not help muttering,

"Could it be that Little Husband misses me?"

"We only just parted, but I miss him too~"

"Sigh~ How am I supposed to endure three years~"

Green Mountain Town.

Wolf Head Mercenary Group Headquarters.

Several Dou Zhes hurried in from outside and respectfully reported to the Middle-aged Man seated in the Main Seat.

"Commander, there really was a youth wearing a ghost mask who arrived in Green Mountain Town today with a juvenile Third Tier Amethyst Winged Lion. He ate at a wonton shop and happened to encounter Xiao Yi Xian, who took his pulse. According to Xiao Yi Xian, that kid should be injured and physically weak. Xiao Yi Xian has already brought him back to the Medical Hall."

"Someone really managed to tame an Amethyst Winged Lion into a mount? That must be unprecedented in the entire Jia Ma Empire!"

Mu She, seated in the Main Seat, could no longer remain calm. That was an Amethyst Winged Lion!

"Who is that kid? What is his cultivation level?"

Mu She could not help asking.

"We couldn't see through his background or identity. We estimate that he should be a Six or Seven Star Dou Zhe. His talent is very high."

"Six or Seven Star Dou Zhe..."

Mu She narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them. "Go, summon Mr. Yao from Myriad Medicine Hall. We have important matters to discuss!"
