I Am Indeed a Good Person

I want five!

"Excuse me, Miss, I must take my leave now."

Jiang Lin put down the black pieces in his hand, and with five pieces in a row, he won the game.

"Ah..."

The girl gasped softly, her eyes lowered slightly, yet they shone even brighter.

"Elder Sister Jiang Xin, can we play another round?"

Mo Li raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Lin expectantly.

"Sure..."

Although Jiang Lin had been playing Gomoku for an hour and felt his scalp was tingling, Jiang Lin couldn't bring himself to refuse the girl because she seemed so happy.

It's okay, I'll just sneak away tonight after the girl falls asleep.

And luckily, the girl actually really liked the game of Gomoku, which was great. Otherwise, would I really have made a guitar and played "Dong Feng Po" for her?

As evening approached, just as a game of Gomoku was ending, a Flying Sword streaked through the air.

When Jiang Lin saw the Flying Sword, he was startled, thinking that someone had discovered his location.

Fortunately, the Flying Sword did not have any killing intent; it was a Storage Flying Sword.

The Flying Sword landed in the courtyard. Mo Li bowed apologetically to Jiang Lin, then stood up and took out a medicine jar and a stack of envelopes from the Flying Sword...

No, it should be called a whole building; this envelope is half my own height!

"Elder Sister Jiang Xin, I'm sorry, I probably need to take my medicine first."

"It's alright, Miss's health is the most important thing."

Jiang Lin shook his head. Finally free from playing Gomoku, Jiang Lin felt a sudden sense of relief...

Since everyone in the courtyard was a "girl," the girl wasn't shy at all.

After putting away the chessboard, the girl poured the medicine into a bowl and drank it in small sips.

The girl frowned with each sip, and after finishing half a bowl, she stuck out her pink tongue like a kitten, indicating that the medicine was indeed quite bitter.

Smelling the medicinal aroma, Jiang Lin recognized precious herbs such as Dragon Sunflower, Phoenix Tongue, and Dragon Root, all primarily used to replenish qi and blood.

It's like an anemic patient taking traditional Chinese medicine to replenish blood.

but...

Looking at the girl's face.

Is this girl really just anemic?

"Miss, may I take your pulse?"

"Eh? Elder Sister Jiang Xin also knows medicine?"

"My father is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and I also have some knowledge of medicine."

"Oh, I see... Okay... Thank you so much, Elder Sister Jiang Xin..."

Like a kitten, the girl finished the bitter medicine in the bowl, gently wiped her mouth, and placed her slender arms on the table.

"Excuse me."

The girl's wrists were very white and slender, so delicate that you felt you could crush them in your hands.

Especially when Jiang Lin placed his palm on the girl's wrist, Jiang Lin large, calloused hand formed a stark contrast with the girl's wrist.

However, despite its slender appearance, the wrist felt surprisingly delicate and soft to the touch.

This reminded Jiang Lin of the phrase "women are like water" from "Dream of the Red Chamber"...

When the girl saw Jiang Lin's large hands, she was slightly surprised.

Although I knew Elder Sister Jiang Xin had big hands and was very tall when we played chess, just like the boys in the illustrations in the book, I didn't expect the contrast to be so striking.

[Which is bigger, the boy's palm or Elder Sister Jiang Xin's? Or is the boy's bigger? How much bigger?]

For this girl, who hadn't seen a man since arriving at the Empty Spirit Sect at the age of nine, a small question arose in her mind.

"Miss, I am about to probe with my Spiritual Power. Please lower your guard."

"Ah... um..." The girl, slightly lost in thought, nodded, relaxed her mind, and allowed Elder Sister Jiang Xin's Spiritual Power, imbued with consciousness, to enter her body.

It's true that doctors are not limited by gender.

But what if this girl knew that the "Elder Sister Jiang Xin" in front of her was actually a boy of similar age, and that besides being a half-baked doctor, he was also a notorious Flower-Picking Thief?

This was the first time a man had touched the girl's wrist (even when doctors treated her, they were all women).

If this were revealed, what kind of expression would the girl have?

It certainly makes one look forward to it.

Jiang Lin had even imagined a scenario in his mind where he saved her life and she repaid him with her body.

However, this was just a fleeting thought; after all, he was a normal young man, and it was normal to have some fantasies.

But in Jiang Lin's mind, he was truly there to see a doctor, and he also restrained his Divine Sense. Apart from going to certain places, Jiang Lin did not wander around aimlessly.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Lin's Divine Sense swept over the girl's internal organs in one breath.

Everything is normal, without any surprises.

Delving deeper, into the girl's spiritual veins and probing her Spiritual Apertures, they discovered many clues.

Having a vague idea in his mind, Jiang Lin emerged from the girl's 366 Spiritual Apertures, attempting to enter her Longevity Bridge.

As the foundation of cultivators, Jiang Lin thought the girl would refuse to let him enter the Longevity Bridge, but she was completely unprepared and even removed the Bridge of Longevity Bridge's defenses when she opened her Spiritual Apertures.

This left Jiang Lin somewhat amused and exasperated.

This girl is way too trusting of others...

Or is it that her cross-dressing and acting skills are too superb?

Otherwise, Jiang Lin felt that if this girl left this forest and was sold by someone, she would still have an innocent smile on her face...

"Sigh... I really am a good person..."

Composing himself, Jiang Lin transformed his Spiritual Power into a small figure and walked back and forth on the girl's Longevity Bridge. As he walked, Jiang Lin noticed that there were some cracks on the Longevity Bridge!

Slowly opening his eyes, Jiang Lin withdrew his Divine Sense, already knowing what had happened...

Aside from injuries and hidden ailments, cultivators are practically immune to illness. This girl hadn't suffered any injuries, so naturally she couldn't possibly have any hidden ailments, and her body was extremely healthy in all aspects.

However, things are extremely strange regarding the Spiritual Apertures and the Longevity Bridge!

A normal cultivator's Spiritual Apertures are like valves, allowing them to freely control the output and absorption of Spiritual Power.

However, the girl's Spiritual Apertures was like a leaky paper window, with the entry and exit of Spiritual Power completely out of control.

When the external Spiritual Power is abundant and dense, the girl will absorb Spiritual Power on her own. However, when the external Spiritual Power is lower than the concentration of Spiritual Power in the girl's body, the girl's Spiritual Power will continuously seep out, which will put a great burden on her Spiritual Apertures.

The cracks on the girl's Longevity Bridge further illustrate this point.

The cracks in the Longevity Bridge will gradually deepen until one day, the girl's Longevity Bridge will collapse. At that point, she Liao Liao to become a cultivator, and she'll probably lose her life...

If I remember correctly...

Grandma Hua also mentioned this illness; the cause seems to be...

"Miss Mo Li, is your mother... a woman from the Tong Li Snake Race?"
