First Meeting with Xiao Yi Xian

"Who the hell is pushing me?!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

This surge of Dou Qi made everyone nearby turn to look. Their faces were all filled with displeasure.

But when they saw the Dou Qi blooming around Xie Tianxiao, they swallowed hard, their expressions turning to shock and even fear.

Dou Qi released beyond the body—he was actually a Da Dou Shi!

Hiss!

When had such a powerful figure arrived in Qingshan Town?!

"What's going on? Who's causing trouble again?!"

Just then, a steward from Ten Thousand Medicine Hall walked out from inside.

Seeing the scene before him, he immediately frowned.

"Are you the one in charge here?"

Xie Tianxiao glanced at the steward and spoke calmly.

Hearing his voice, the steward turned to look at Xie Tianxiao.

He had been about to lose his temper, but when he saw the Dou Qi that had yet to dissipate around Xie Tianxiao—

The steward's expression changed. His lips trembled as he hurriedly said respectfully, "I did not know that such an esteemed sir had arrived. Please forgive my offense."

Good heavens, Dou Qi released beyond the body meant he was at least a Da Dou Shi!

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly and had not cursed aloud. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Seeing the steward's attitude, Xie Tianxiao said lightly, "I helped you clear out some irrelevant people. No problem with that, right?"

"No problem, no problem!"

The steward hurriedly shook his head and continued, "That bunch does nothing all day except block the entrance and affect Ten Thousand Medicine Hall's business."

"For you to separate them, sir, is a favor to Ten Thousand Medicine Hall."

Xie Tianxiao glanced at the steward and nodded slightly. "You're not bad."

"You flatter me, sir."

The steward gave an awkward smile and continued, "May I ask what you need?"

"Xiao Yi Xian is here, right?" Xie Tianxiao asked calmly.

The steward froze, not expecting Xie Tianxiao to have come for Xiao Yi Xian. He quickly replied, "She is, she is. Xiao Yi Xian is in the inner room. Please follow me."

As he spoke, the steward made a welcoming gesture.

Xie Tianxiao nodded and walked inside.

As they walked, the steward called out, "Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yi Xian, an esteemed sir is looking for you!"

Inside the shop, a woman in a pale white dress sat at a table, carefully preparing medicine.

A pile of bottles and jars sat beside her, filling the room with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

"What is it, Steward Liu?"

Having apparently heard the steward calling for her, the woman in white stopped what she was doing and asked in a soft voice.

"This esteemed sir is looking for you."

Steward Liu led Xie Tianxiao into the shop, then pointed at the woman in the pale white dress. "Sir, this is Xiao Yi Xian."

At those words, Xie Tianxiao's gaze fell upon Xiao Yi Xian.

She wore a pale white dress, and her skin was smooth and delicate as congealed cream. Though her appearance could not be called peerlessly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty.

Her faintly smiling face carried a fresh, ethereal air. That distinctive temperament greatly enhanced her charm.

Her willow-thin waist, slender enough to fit in one hand, was bound by a green sash, making it appear especially delicate and frail.

All of it made Xie Tianxiao's heart stir.

What a fine waist!

How could there be such a perfect waist in this world?!

Xie Tianxiao secretly praised her in his heart.

However, none of it showed on his face. He remained composed as he said, "You're Xiao Yi Xian, right?"

As he spoke, Xie Tianxiao also glanced at Steward Liu.

"Yes."

Seeing this, Steward Liu answered, then tactfully walked out and shut the door behind him, leaving the two of them alone.

Looking at Xie Tianxiao standing before her, Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned. She politely asked, "Hello. Are you here to see me for treatment as well?"

Although Xie Tianxiao was not the sort of handsome young master who could captivate all who saw him, he was still quite presentable.

Especially the extraordinary, otherworldly aura around him, which left Xiao Yi Xian somewhat surprised.

"Hehe. Treatment—what a distant word."

Xie Tianxiao smiled, then looked at her slender waist and said, "I heard that Xiao Yi Xian's beauty is renowned throughout Qingshan Town, and that you are the goddess in every man's heart."

"Now that I have seen you today, your reputation is indeed well deserved. You've truly piqued my interest!"

Xie Tianxiao knew that these words might cause Xiao Yi Xian to misunderstand him, but not only did he not fear a misunderstanding, he wanted one.

Only then could he draw Xiao Yi Xian's attention and make her remember him.

After all, at a first meeting, especially with a girl like Xiao Yi Xian, if you acted too ordinarily, she would only treat you as some passing stranger. Once you left, who would remember you?

Of course, that also depended on how well you understood the other person, as well as the strength you possessed.

Xie Tianxiao had read the original work and knew what kind of girl Xiao Yi Xian was. Coupled with his strength, that was why he could act this way.

If you knew nothing about the other person and lacked sufficient strength, it was best not to do this.

Otherwise, you would only be asking for trouble and waiting to be laughed at!

"This guy?"

Hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian could not help but freeze.

What was wrong with this person? He had been perfectly normal just now, so why had he suddenly started praising her beauty?!

And he even said she had piqued his interest. Could he be one of those lecherous men who looked decent on the outside but secretly wanted to possess her?!

Sure enough, one could not judge people by appearances. This guy clearly had ill intentions. She had nearly been deceived by his looks!

Thinking this, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly backed away and stared at Xie Tianxiao warily. "What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, don't try anything. I'm not a good person!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian even waved her little fists a few times.

"Hehe... Xiao Yi Xian, you really are quite interesting."

Seeing her reaction, Xie Tianxiao could not help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?! Did I say anything wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian glared at Xie Tianxiao.

"You really know how to jump to conclusions. I merely glanced at your waist."

"I haven't even done anything bad to you, so why do you think I have improper designs on you?" Xie Tianxiao teased.

"Y-you bastard!"

Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face turned bright red from his words. She pointed at him angrily. "In any case, you're not allowed to set your sights on me! I'm not some girl you can toy with as you please!"

Although she did not know what status Xie Tianxiao had that made Steward Liu address him as sir,

Xiao Yi Xian was not someone who would let others do as they pleased. If Xie Tianxiao dared to act recklessly, she guaranteed she would make him suffer diarrhea for three days and three nights!

"I merely spoke the truth. How does that count as setting my sights on you?" Xie Tianxiao said indifferently.

What a joke. Could that be called setting his sights on her?

That was merely an appreciation of beauty. He, Xie Tianxiao, would absolutely not set his sights on her now!

"Hmph, who knows what you're really thinking? Anyway, you clearly have bad intentions!"

Xiao Yi Xian said angrily, glaring fiercely at Xie Tianxiao with her beautiful eyes as she spoke.

Her expression seemed to be warning Xie Tianxiao that if he kept talking, she would not be polite.

I made some revisions. Constantly referring to himself as "this venerable one" did not feel quite right.
