Jade Maiden Awakens, Enemies Meet, Li Xian's Ghostly Lies, Smooth-Talking Deception

Mayfly Abode emerged from the depths of Dongran Lake. The lake shimmered brightly, and beautiful sights unfolded one after another. It was mid-April, with balmy spring days and warm sunshine. Life brimmed everywhere, all things competing for spring and splendor, the weather pleasant and inviting.

After enduring all that had happened at the Flower Cage Sect, Li Xian had fled into Dongran Lake. He had later escaped alive and gained a new lease on life, leaving him unable to describe his delight. Everything now seemed fresh and radiant. This day, with nothing to do, he lay in the courtyard with both hands pillowed beneath his head, gazing up at the warm sun. White clouds clustered like tufts of cotton, each in a different shape. Occasionally, he saw birds fly into the clouds, and quietly thought, Master has been gone for several days. The first two patients have both recovered and left, but I still can't find the cause of the third patient's illness. I've studied the Medical Heart Scripture for more than ten days, yet I'm still at my wits' end. It seems my medical skills are nowhere near worthy of pride or complacency. I still need to temper and improve myself slowly. Once I cure her, I'll go ashore. Then this journey will finally be over.

Dongran Lake is dangerous and unpredictable. Unless my strength improves in the future, I absolutely must not set foot here lightly again. Though the Water Altar hides filth and shelters scum, it can still be considered a paradise beyond the world. The scenery is beautiful, and the common people are kind. What a pity... I wonder how they will be dealt with and arranged.

*And that Jade Maiden probably couldn't find me, so she must have returned to the Water Altar to meet
