Zhang Qiuli lowered her head and silently went about her business.
Noticing Xie Feng enter, he didn't look up, but simply said coldly, "Sit!"
His tone was inexplicably arrogant!
Xie Feng didn't care about any of that. His gaze was indifferent, and he smiled slightly before sitting down opposite him.
Zhang Qiuli asked slowly, "What ailment do you suffer from?"
Xie Feng countered, "Master, I'm a patient, won't you take my pulse?"
"Oh, reach out your hand."
Zhang Qiuli put down the small golden scale, still slowly. He extended the index, middle, and ring fingers of his right hand and gently placed them on Xie Feng's right wrist, carefully feeling the pulse.
After finishing with his right hand, he started working on his left hand.
After taking the pulses of both hands, Zhang Qiuli's brows gradually furrowed. "Your pulse... hiss... it's steady, the vital energy is abundant, the Qi and Blood are plentiful, and the pulse is strong. There's nothing wrong with it."
Xie Feng asked, "What does the master mean?"
Zhang Qiuli replied, "I am in good health and have no illnesses whatsoever!"
Xie Feng stared at him, and said meaningfully, "Master, why don't you diagnose me again?"
Zhang Qiuli finally looked up, glanced at him, then gave a cold snort and took his pulse again.
"Did the master diagnose anything this time?"
"Your Excellency is not physically ill, but mentally ill."
"The master truly lives up to his name. I am indeed like this; when I have doubts, only the master can offer the solution!"
Xie Feng smiled.
Zhang Qiuli was shaken. His gaze burned as he stared intently at Xie Feng. "May I ask your name?!"
Hearing him say that, Xie Feng's lips slowly curved into a smile.
This person is quite composed. He was already very eager when he heard that someone surnamed Xie had come to visit, but he held back until now to ask his name!
Xie Feng, of course, couldn't be straightforward and tell him that he was Xie Xuanyuan's son.
He asked, "Does the master know Xie Yunhao?"
Zhang Qiuli's eyes flickered slightly, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. He thought to himself, Xie Yunhao, that was the War God of War who once shook the world in the Land of Chaos!
This War God followed that person through countless life-and-death battles, making outstanding contributions!
He was unsettled, but he didn't voice it, because he wasn't sure about the background of the young man in front of him, and naturally he couldn't easily reveal anything.
Xie Feng said calmly, "I am his junior. After that war, he was imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, suffering both physical and mental trauma, losing most of his memories. Many famous doctors were consulted, but none could cure him. I heard that you were a renowned Medical Dao master back then, so I came here out of admiration!"
Zhang Qiuli remained silent, only thinking to himself that when he was young and just beginning to show his talent, he participated in a medical skills competition and was almost assassinated by his opponent.
When he was isolated and helpless, Xie Yunhao, who was a guest, stepped forward to help him, stopped the match in time, and saved him, thus turning the danger into safety.
Therefore, he will always be grateful to Xie Yunhao for his help!
Even though he hated the Land of Chaos and many Xie Clan, he had the utmost respect for Xie Yunhao!
So when he heard Xie Feng say that, his cold gaze softened slightly, but only for a moment, before it instantly turned sharp.
"So, you've come here wanting me to treat him?"
"Good."
" The War God is in trouble, so naturally I must go to his aid. Tell me, where to?"
" Ninth Universe!"
"What? The Ninth Universe?!"
Zhang Qiuli's gaze shifted slightly. He knew perfectly well what kind of beings lived in this place!
"That guy from the Ninth Universe seems to have a bad relationship with the Land of Chaos, right? Why would the War God be there?"
Zhang Qiuli frowned, deep in thought.
Xie Feng said, "It's not Xie Yunhao who has a bad relationship with the Land of Chaos, so of course he can be there!"
"Alright!" Zhang Qiuli finally nodded in agreement. "But I have one more request: I don't want to see any other Xie Clan besides you!"
"No problem, as long as you're willing to come with me to treat him." Xie Feng readily agreed.
"Hmm!" Zhang Qiuli was barely satisfied.
"Then thank you very much, Master!" Xie Feng stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled.
That smile made Zhang Qiuli look at him uncertainly several times.
He felt that smile seemed familiar!
In the the Unseen, it seemed as if there was a single person!
"Who... who are you? I don't think you've told me your name yet?!" Zhang Qiuli stared sharply at him.
"Junior, Xie Feng!"
" Xie Feng? I've never heard of him. Whose son are you?"
"..." Xie Feng realized he couldn't hide it any longer, so he answered honestly, "My mother Mu Yueheng, and my father Xie Xuanyuan!"
Xie Xuanyuan?!
Zhang Qiuli's expression changed slightly on the spot!
He stared blankly at Xie Feng, seemingly lost in thought. The next second, his expression changed drastically, and he angrily flung his sleeve, refusing, "Go away! I won't go there with you!"
He actually wanted to blast Xie Feng immediately!
Xie Feng said calmly, "Master, I was fully prepared before coming to see you, and I also anticipated your attitude. I came not only for Uncle Yunhao, but also for my father."
"For him?!" Zhang Qiuli turned around, extremely impatient.
"I want to know what happened back then, the more details the better. For example, I heard that you were expelled from the army by my father because you were unable to save a general. Why was that? Does that mean my father was so extreme in his personality?" Xie Feng asked.
Zhang Qiuli snorted coldly, "Back then, that general was poisoned by a strange poison, and my abilities were limited, so I couldn't cure it. Moreover... at that time, we were fighting fiercely with the Desolate Army. The Desolate Army was coming on strong, and the Immortal Cloud Army was retreating step by step. Due to various complicated circumstances and setbacks on the battlefield, your father urgently needed combat power."
"That general was one of his top lieutenants. Back then, he was poisoned by a rare poison, one I had never heard of before, and I was helpless against it. Just because I couldn't cure him, your father suspected that I did it on purpose, or even that I had been bribed by the Desolate Lord. He even wanted to kill me, but fortunately, many people pleaded for me, so he didn't kill me and just kicked me out. Everything I said is the truth, otherwise, I wouldn't hold a grudge until now!"
He still grits his teeth when he thinks about what happened back then.
Xie Feng lowered his head and said, "I apologize on behalf of my father's arbitrary decision, he..."
"Alright, stop talking. So much time has passed. This is his debt, and you don't need to repay it! I admit your father was very capable, the most glorious and legendary figure back then, but on this point, I will not forgive him! I begged him to let me stay, but he was unmoved. Even though I was the only medic in that isolated and helpless situation, he still drove me away! In the end, not a single Immortal Cloud Army survived! How can you expect me to forgive him?!"
Zhang Qiuli was filled with indignation, and even now, thinking about it still makes her feel angry.
Xie Feng looked troubled and didn't say anything more.
