Benevolent Medicine Hall Poisoned? Help Me Out!

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips, and tears suddenly began to stream down her face.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"

Xiao Ze couldn't help but feel curious; if she wanted to refuse, she could just say so, why was she crying all of a sudden?

"No, I am willing!"

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head vigorously and spoke in a hurry.

"Ever since I was small, anyone who discovered my poison body treated me like a tiger to be feared and avoided at all costs. You are the only one willing to accept me."

Hearing this, Xiao Ze restrained his smile, reached out to pat Xiao Yi Xian on the head, and looked her straight in the eyes, speaking earnestly.

"Rest assured, your poison body will definitely be brought under complete control, and by then, no one will fear you anymore."

Xiao Ze gave a solemn promise.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded with all her might, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xiao Yi Xian was kind by nature and dreamed of becoming an alchemist, but unfortunately, her innate attributes were insufficient, and she could not fulfill that wish.

Yet, she still resolutely chose to become a physician dedicated to saving lives and healing the wounded, striving to practice her dream.

It was just a pity that fate seemed to have played a cruel joke on her.

A physician who saved lives and healed the wounded possessed a poison body that would kill anyone who touched her!

Even if she was unwilling, the poison body would, without her realizing it, harm many people close to her!

In the original story, Xiao Yi Xian went to the Chu Yun Empire and accidentally killed two elderly people who cherished her.

Those two elders, even before they died, were still concerned about her!

Such a cruel experience caused Xiao Yi Xian to completely close off her heart!

She believed that she was a natural-born disaster!

This was also the reason why Xiao Ze wanted to take Xiao Yi Xian away.

It was not only because Xiao Yi Xian could help him in his cultivation.

It was also because his own Perfect Woe Poison Body could help Xiao Yi Xian control her poison body so she would not accidentally harm others.

He wanted to prevent Xiao Yi Xian from experiencing those pains again!

"Alright, since you are coming with me, let's have a formal introduction!"

Xiao Ze confirmed that Xiao Yi Xian was willing to follow him, so he no longer hid his identity.

"I am the Fourth Young Master of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City, Xiao Ze!"

Of course, the Exquisite Skin Mask was not easy to remove; he would wait until they returned to Wutan City, as it would be ruined if taken off now.

"I am a physician at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion in Green Mountain Town, Xiao Yi Xian!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at this youth with a somewhat weathered face and said curiously, "Then should I call you Young Master Xiao Ze from now on?"

"No need. We are interacting as friends; I am not looking for a maid or a subordinate."

Xiao Ze shook his head and looked at Xiao Yi Xian seriously.

"I hope more that you can become a close friend with whom I can talk about anything, and a partner to fight side by side with!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian revealed a warm smile and nodded vigorously.

Ever since she met Xiao Ze, she had nodded much more often than before, and the same went for the smiles on her face.

Xiao Yi Xian had actually sensed it for a while now.

Xiao Ze did not treat her as a subordinate or an attendant.

When Xiao Ze gained her trust, he had taken the initiative to pull her up from the ground.

He no longer looked down at her from a superior position.

This small gesture caused Xiao Yi Xian's favorability toward Xiao Ze to soar.

"You can just call me by my name. I believe we are the same age. This face is a mask; it will be damaged if removed, so I cannot take it off for now."

Xiao Ze offered another explanation, and Xiao Yi Xian nodded obediently.

At the same time, she carefully examined Xiao Ze's face; if he hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have been able to tell it was a disguise.

Xiao Yi Xian was curious in her heart about what kind of face lay beneath the mask.

However, just as Xiao Ze said, it couldn't be removed for the time being, so Xiao Yi Xian suppressed her curiosity.

After some conversation, the relationship between the two became much more harmonious.

"Speaking of which, how did your Woe Poison Body erupt? Did you take poison voluntarily?"

Xiao Ze was a bit curious; in his impression, Xiao Yi Xian should have been quite resistant to ingesting poison.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have hugged her quilt and cried bitterly after taking it.

"No, I remember eating a box of pastries, then I felt something was wrong with my body and realized the poison body was about to erupt."

"I hurriedly left Green Mountain Town alone and came into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and that was when I ran into you, Xiao Ze."

Xiao Ze wore a thoughtful expression as he spoke.

"You were poisoned; the other party is clearly out for your life!"

"To be able to knock someone with the Woeful Poison Body unconscious, the ferocity of that poison is unimaginable!"

Xiao Xian nodded, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Who could be so vicious as to want me dead? I don't believe I've offended anyone in Green Mountain Town!"

"Sometimes, you don't go looking for trouble; trouble comes looking for you."

Xiao Ze shook his head and said to Xiao Xian.

This was precisely the reason he had stayed away from people all this time.

Even a healer like Xiao Xian, who saved lives and treated the wounded, had someone use a lethal poison to try and kill her.

"Do you want to make the person who poisoned you pay the price?"

Xiao Xian's eyes lit up at these words, and she nodded repeatedly.

Although she was kind by nature, she was not the type to simply laugh off an attempt on her life.

"Then let's head back to Green Mountain Town and take a look; perhaps we'll find the answer."

Xiao Ze took out two cloaks and gave one to Xiao Xian.

"Your clothes are dirty, and I don't have any women's clothing here. Just make do for now and wear the cloak to hide your identity."

Xiao Xian obediently took the cloak and draped it over herself, wrapping it tightly around her frame.

"Also, don't call me by my real name from now on. It's easy to attract trouble when traveling, and I don't want to implicate my family, so it's best not to reveal it."

Xiao Xian nodded, then immediately voiced her confusion, "Then how should I address you?"

"Just pick any code name you like."

"How about 'Young Master'?"

"Uh, that works too."

The two chatted as they made their way toward Green Mountain Town. Through Xiao Xian's account, Xiao Ze quickly identified the target.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion's competitor—the Benevolent Medicine Hall!

After the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion hired Xiao Xian, their business had boomed, squeezing out the Benevolent Medicine Hall.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is akin to killing their parents!

It was no surprise that the Benevolent Medicine Hall wanted to get rid of Xiao Xian.

Upon arriving at Green Mountain Town, Xiao Ze realized he didn't even need to investigate.

The owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion had brought men to block the entrance of the Benevolent Medicine Hall. A young man was kneeling nearby, and the surrounding crowd was surging with righteous indignation.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Xian listened from the sidelines for a while and soon understood the situation.

After Xiao Xian's poison flared up and she left the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, the staff there quickly discovered the leftover pastries she had eaten and immediately apprehended the person who had poisoned them.

After some interrogation, they had dragged the Benevolent Medicine Hall into the light.

At this moment, the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion was furious, confronting the Benevolent Medicine Hall!

Other ordinary mercenaries who heard the news had also gathered, demanding an explanation from the Benevolent Medicine Hall, or else they wouldn't be so polite!

Xiao Xian had saved many of their lives, after all!

However, the owner of the Benevolent Medicine Hall, a thin and shrewd old man, looked completely unfazed.

"Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion! You think you can frame my Benevolent Medicine Hall just because of this little punk!?"

The owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion snorted and retorted angrily, "The witnesses and evidence are all here; it's useless for you to quibble!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll tear down this Benevolent Medicine Hall of yours!"

The surrounding onlookers chimed in one after another.

"That's right! Xiao Xian is such a beautiful and kind person, and you actually tried to poison her—you're not even human!"

"Poor Xiao Xian, killed by you heartless, wolf-hearted bastards!"

"I'm here to back them up today!"

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out.

"If a healer can be poisoned to death so easily, I don't think her medical skills are all that great!"

Mu She walked out slowly!
