That was the truth.
The black doctor said that he would not show up for a few days.
The disciples went to take a look.
They found that the door of the cocoon hut was tightly shut.
Not only that, there was a sign hanging on the door.
Something happened.
Don't bother.
The disciples who saw it felt that the owner was very bad-tempered, so they reported it to the others.
They all agreed.
One told ten, ten told a hundred.
In a few days, the news that the black doctor had left the hut spread among the disciples.
During the training competition, they paid special attention to whether they were injured. After all, the black doctor did not return.
They did not want to waste their money with other doctors.
So the question was, where did Xie Lige go?
There was one person.
Ziyin Zhenren.
Who was he?
He was the famous Sword-Bearing Elder of Heaven's Wall City.
He was the leader in the hearts of thousands of disciples. Since his son left, Xie Lige had a good relationship with Ziyin Zhenren, who was also alone.
He often brought his Gu worms to Ziyin Zhenren's territory.
He ate and drank, and helped to solve his disciple's small problems.
Today was another day like that.
Xie Lige had brewed the medicine early and ran to the side room in Ziyin Zhenren's territory with a few Gu worms. That was the place where the protagonist, Baili Tusu, was unconscious.
While carrying the medicine, Xie Lige happened to meet Ziyin Zhenren, who was walking out.
"Have you seen Baili Tusu?" Xie Lige asked casually while carrying the medicine. He looked straight at Ziyin, who was calm.
With a creak, the door opened.
Ziyin Zhenren nodded calmly.
He opened the door with one hand.
He turned sideways to let Xie Lige in.
The figure on the bed was small and made frightened sounds from time to time. Xie Lige looked around and did not find anything special. Obviously, the child was still immersed in the sadness of the extermination of his clan.
There were several magnificent seaside paintings hanging on the wall. Brilliant waves clustered together, and in the middle of the deep blue sea, there was a huge Kun fish flying into the sky. Its pair of fins gradually turned into wings.
Kun Peng.
Heaven Peng.
It was obvious that the master had high hopes for this child.
There were a few tables and chairs not far from the bed. The largest table and chair in the center had a cup of fragrant tea beside it. This was probably what Zi Yin had made in the beginning.
"Tusu is still young, but he has already experienced so many hardships. I was worried about him, so I came to take a look." Reverend Zi Yin said softly. He looked at Xie Lige, who was standing in the room with a frivolous smile.
The massacre in Wumeng Spirit Valley left a deep impression on Baili Tusu.
Xie Lige smiled as he picked a chair and sat down. He placed the medicinal soup on the table and said, "I brought the medicinal soup today."
"Thank you," Reverend Zi Yin said.
"It's nothing." Xie Lige waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."
Zi Yin, "…" For the first time, the usually calm Perfected Person revealed a hesitant expression. He paused and turned his head. His gaze fell on the small ball behind him. Then, he retracted his hand.
Xie Lige sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master Ouyang has always been in charge of feeding the medicine," Reverend Zi Yin said calmly.
According to the usual routine, Ouyang Shaogong would come in the morning before dawn. When he arrived at the door of the room, the sky was bright. Reverend Zi Yin opened the door and let him in. Baili Tusu was having a nightmare. Ouyang Shaogong smiled as he poured the strange-smelling medicinal soup into the child's mouth.
Baili Tusu, who was stimulated by the strange smell, would slowly wake up.
His gaze met Ouyang Shaogong's and the two of them communicated. Baili Tusu thanked him politely, and Ouyang Shaogong accepted it with a smile. After that, he left.
Almost every day was like this.
Now that the person delivering the medicine was Xie Lige, of course, he would not be so polite. When he heard the reason for Zi Yin's hesitation, he sneered. He stood up and walked to the bed. He dragged the child who was having a nightmare out of bed. When the child was still waking up, the strange-smelling medicinal soup was poured into his mouth.
Baili Tusu was almost tortured to death by the medicinal soup. Just as he was about to open his mouth and spit it out, a large hand with distinct joints appeared under his chin.
"Drink it!"
A cold and emotionless voice appeared above his head. The cold hand under his chin twisted, and the bitter medicinal soup that had reached his throat was forcibly forced back down.
The child's face flushed red. The moment Xie Lige retracted his hand, he started coughing loudly. It seemed that he was about to cough out the medicinal soup that had already entered his stomach.
After coughing for a long time, Baili Tusu realized that he could not cough out anything. Only then did he weakly lean on the bed. He looked around and saw Reverend Zi Yin standing in the corner of the room.
"Master!!" The child's eyes lit up when he saw a familiar person. His tone was full of dependence.
Reverend Zi Yin's face was expressionless. He responded in a low voice and then introduced Xie Lige. "This is the doctor who will treat your illness."
Baili Tusu's gaze landed on the man in purple. When he saw the latter's revealing clothes and faintly discernible abdominal muscles, his face flushed red. He had already learned etiquette and had never seen such an unruly man. For a moment, he was speechless.
Xie Lige immediately saw through his thoughts and mocked him. "You're just a kid who hasn't even grown hair yet. You're already so old-fashioned. Dressing 'up' is what everyone wants. I'm dressed liberally because Ah Mei in Heaven's Wall City likes it."
After saying that, he flirtatiously lifted Baili Tusu off his horse and smiled ambiguously.
The Five Venoms' clothes were already revealing. Xie Lige was not a shy person. Once he put on the clothes, a large part of his bare chest was exposed. His facial features were handsome and deep, with a hint of exotic charm. A few strands of black hair fell on his chest and were entwined with intricate silver ornaments. This made the inexperienced Baili Tusu unable to resist.
Baili Tusu looked pleadingly at Reverend Zi Yin, who had remained silent until now. He really did not know what to do with this person.
Reverend Zi Yin looked at Xie Lige, who did not feel that he was wrong at all. He simply explained, "This gentleman already has a child."
Baili Tusu looked at Xie Lige in horror. His child was still fooling around outside.
Xie Lige was speechless. He was no longer in the mood to tease him.
"Shaogong also dressed like this." Xie Lige said in an aggrieved tone.
When he heard this, Baili Tusu could not help but widen his eyes. He could not imagine that Ouyang Shaogong, who was always gentle and polite in front of him, would wear such revealing clothes.
Baili Tusu looked at the countless muscles that were exposed. He could not imagine.
"Pfft!"
Xie Lige was amused by Baili Tusu's shocked expression. Ouyang Shaogong, that brat, was quite good at pretending. He had not been exposed for so long in front of Baili Tusu.
"The medicine has been finished."
Reverend Zi Yin, who had been silent all this while, said, "You should rest now. The medicine for the next few days will be delivered by this doctor."
Baili Tusu thought of Ouyang Shaogong, who had been feeding him medicine. Curious about where he went, he could not help but ask, "Where did Young Master Ouyang go?"
"Him?"
Xie Lige paused in his action of standing up, but quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "He's gone out."
He closed the door, leaving Baili Tusu alone in the room.
The two adults waited outside the room until the child in the room breathed evenly. Only then did they feel relieved and leave.
When they left, Reverend Zi Yin sent Xie Lige to the back of the mountain. Along the way, the disciples they met all avoided them and did not dare to look at each other. The crowded square was suddenly empty.
"You want to know if Xuan Xiao is at the back of the mountain?" Ziyin Enlightened Master asked calmly as he stopped in his tracks.
Hearing this, Xie Lige put away his frivolous smile and said in a serious tone, "I wonder if Reverend Zi Yin can answer my question?"
The back of the mountain was not too far away from the cocoon hut. Xie Lige had passed by the entrance of the cave countless times. Unfortunately, the only time he could feel the breath of a living person was the day Ouyang Shaogong left. No matter how many times he went to the back of the mountain, the cave remained silent.
Reverend Zi Yin said with certainty, "He's inside."
The Sword-bearing Elder of Heaven's Wall City was not a title on the surface. It was a symbol of Heaven's Wall City. Everything that happened in Heaven's Wall City could not escape Zi Yin's eyes, including the back of the mountain. Unfortunately, he did not see any signs of Xuan Xiao coming out of the cave.
"Alright." Xie Lige shrugged and said, "It seems that I guessed wrong."
Reverend Zi Yin frowned and asked, "May I ask about your relationship with Reverend Xuan Xiao?"
This person was anxious just because he did not feel any breath in the cave. Clearly, this person had a close relationship with Xuan Xiao.
However, this was also what made Reverend Zi Yin suspicious. Xuan Xiao had been sealed in the ice for hundreds of years. How could he have a close relationship with a foreign physician who had only recently made a name for himself?
"He's just a friend I haven't seen in a long time," Xie Lige glanced at him and said calmly, not minding the other party's probing.
Anyway, he had settled everything in this life. His son had gone to Heaven's Wall City to look for his wife. Xie Lige was currently using the remaining time to take a vacation and to see if Xuan Xiao was the old bastard he knew.
From all the signs, there was an eighty percent chance that this person was someone he knew. Xie Lige sighed.
Reverend Zi Yin glanced at Xie Lige, who spoke in a casual tone. He did not understand why the other party was so casual. After hearing that he was a friend, he nodded understandingly.
He recalled the scene when Xie Lige came over. The centipede Ominous Beast that covered the sky was extremely terrifying. Just the wind between its claws was very difficult to deal with. Furthermore, this man had several such Ominous Beasts.
