Meng Qi glanced at Qin Xiumo. Xue Chengxuan was somewhat surprised, but didn’t make any comment, and smiled slightly: “The last time I visited the Eastern Realm is three years ago with my father. It seems that in recent years, the Eastern Realm’s medical progress is really fast.”

“I’ll go in first and have a look.” Xue Chengxuan nodded politely towards Meng Qi, then he turned and said to the two Xuanyun Villa’s disciples: “Take me in, please.”

“Yes.” One of them quickly led Xue Chengxuan inside

The remaining disciple knew Murong Fei and Wen He. He took the rest of them to the main hall of the courtyard. “All of you should be tired after a long journey. Please rest here. In a moment, I’ll let someone send tea and refreshment.” After saying that, the disciple turned around and left in a hurry.

Meng Qi sat randomly on a chair. Chu Tianfeng stepped forward and sat next to her. Qin Xiumo simply refused to sit and stood beside Meng Qi.

“Hey!” Chu Tianfeng looked at Qin Xiumo. “You just said that someone is robbing Meng Qi’s business. Is it Lu Qingran?”

“Otherwise?” Qin Xiumo raised his lips and smiled sarcastically.

“Is it possible?” Chu Tianfeng didn’t believe it. “After putting those Qingfeng Valley’s disciples in such a danger, how could she still dare to do it again?”

“She won’t dare to do the same thing, but will dare to copy the correct method, ah.”

“I see.” Chu Tianfeng nodded.

Meng Qi looked at the two in surprise. The hostility Qin Xiumo and Chu Tianfeng showed towards Lu Qingran were too obvious. And it didn’t seem to be a hostility caused by unrequited love, but a true, deep hatred.

But, it shouldn’t be like this.

“Meng Qiqi.” Chu Tianfeng turned his head at Meng Qi.

Meng Qi: “…” Why did everyone start calling her Meng Qiqi?!

“Let’s expose Lu Qingran.” Chu Tianfeng said, “This is the method you came up with. You can’t let her take advantage. You should earn the spirit stones!” He stood up eagerly: “Let’s go and grab her business!”

Meng Qi just wanted to roll her eyes. Since when was healing people equated with doing business? Moreover, relying on this way to earn spirit stones wouldn’t even be enough to buy Xiao Qi’s medicine, so she should find another way.

However…

She still wanted to check it out.

“I’ll go and see.” Meng Qi also stood up. The injured cultivators were innocent. If it really was Lu Qingran, she couldn’t feel at ease.

“Good.” Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo quickly followed. Su Junmo, who was listening to their conversations, didn’t fully understand what was going on, but still followed behind.

Only Murong Fei and Wen He were left in the main hall. They looked at each other, somewhat baffled.

…

“Meng Qiqi.” After leaving the main hall, there were only four of them left, so Su Junmo finally relaxed. “Is your senior sister also here? What does this robbing business about? Before, I found out that your relationship with your senior sister isn’t very good. Is there something hidden behind this? I think your senior sister is pretty good, ah. She is beautiful, filial, and kind. She even bravely stood up to speak for her Master. Of course…it was wrong for her to suspect you, Meng Qiqi. But this is human nature. If changed to me, if others are reprimanding my elders, I also wouldn’t be able to hold back and would speak up for them.”

“Yes, very beautiful and very kind. Truly a good woman.” Qin Xiumo said smoothly. “Do you fancy her? Then quickly pursue her.”

“Yes, yes.” Chu Tianfeng chimed in, “If you missed such a good girl, it might be difficult to find another one in the future. Fellow Daoist Su, you should go and pursue her. You can do it!”

“I think you are pitting me!” Su Junmo snorted lightly. “Meng Qiqi, of course I am on your side unconditionally. But I don’t think there are any problems with your senior sister. Is there any misunderstanding between you? If there is, don’t worry. Just leave it to me. I’ll help you to resolve the misunderstanding. Both of you are disciples who learn the same art, it’s better if there is no misunderstanding. What do you think?”

“No misunderstanding.” Meng Qi said, “I can’t get along with Lu Qingran.” One was the darling of heaven, and the other was unfortunate cannon fodder. Although she never hated Lu Qingran, they weren’t compatible by nature,

“Really?” Su Junmo was dumbfounded.

“We aren’t lying to you.” Qin Xiumo said. “Children who love to cry and make trouble are always more favored, that’s all. No need to worry about us.”

Su Junmo looked at the two suspiciously, still feeling that these two young men harbored an ill intent.

Even Meng Qi looked at the two in surprise. She already felt that after rebirth, probably because there was no misunderstanding in this life, Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo’s attitude towards her was very different from her previous lives.

If only their attitude changed, Meng Qi was not surprised. Before her death, Meng Qi had broken through the fifth rank of medical cultivation. There was no shortcut in medical cultivation. One could only take one step at a time. To reach the fifth rank, Meng Qi had to heal countless people. And those who she healed, as long as they had nothing to do with Lu Qingran, were very grateful to her. Just like the ordinary residents of Qingfeng Town.

When Meng Qi thought of those people, her heart became warm, and her eyes gradually turned gentler.

When Meng Qi thought of those ordinary people she saved, her heart became warm, and her eyes gradually turned gentler.

So was her choice in this life correct? Although she still saved the male cultivators who would be entangled with Lu Qingran, because she demanded payment from them, the karmic relationship was cut off, so she didn’t take the luck from Lu Qingran, this darling of heaven.

Everything had turned out to be better.

As for why Qin Xiumo and Chu Tianfeng were dissatisfied with Lu Qingran, Meng Qi only had one thought: she didn’t care! Whether they loved Lu Qingran, or that their love turned into hatred, making them depressed and distorted the emotion, it has nothing to do with her!

What she cared the most now was about the Medical Cultivator Conference. Thinking about Feng Alliance’s library, Meng Qi’s heart tickled.

She wants to go! So, she needs to work hard!

Meng Qi completely blocked the three men’s arguing noise. What they said later, she didn’t bother to listen at all. Meng Qi walked very fast. Xuanyun Villa’s courtyard in Huajiang Manor was quite large, occupying the best street in the city. Walking from the main hall to the room where the injured cultivators were located, the time was enough for Chu Tianfeng and the others to argue three times over whether Lu Qingran was worth pursuing or not.

Still turning a deaf ear, Meng Qi knocked on the door.

The door opened with a squeak, and a man in his thirties who wore the uniform of a Xuanyun Villa disciple walked out from inside.

“Excuse me, fellow Daoist. You are?” Seeing an unfamiliar girl suddenly appeared, the man looked at Meng Qi with a bit of surprise. But he soon saw Su Junmo.

“Fellow Daoist Su.” The man took two steps forward and cupped his hands to Su Junmo, who finally quieted down again. “Fellow Daoist’ name is far and beyond. Li Anhe of Xuanyun Villa is grateful for your visit.”

Su Junmo nodded at him. “Fellow Daoist Li is too polite.” After a pause, he said: “I’m coming with Brother Xue. After all, immortal devouring vine comes from the Demon Realm.”

“Yes.” Li Anhe nodded.

“This fellow Daoist wants to see the injured cultivator.” Su Junmo pointed at Meng Qi, “Can she?”

“Of course.” Li Anhe quickly stepped away, his attitude towards Meng Qi was completely different from before. “Fellow Daoist, over here, please.”

Meng Qi nodded back and quickly walked inside. “Ugh…” Right after she stepped into the room, Meng Qi couldn’t help frowning. The strong sweet scent similar to peaches instantly surrounded her, making people felt intoxicated and hard to breathe. Xuanyun Villa should be using a magic tool that could block this scent. Otherwise, it was impossible for them to not smell it outside the door.

“How many people are injured?” Meng Qi asked.

“There are a total of 67 people. Four are placed here, and a few are in the other room. The rest were all sent to Xuanyun Villa’s mid-level peak, where there is a cave that can completely isolate spiritual aura. Before fellow Daoist Xue went to Fentian City, he instructed us to put the slightly injured cultivators there. The people in the cave are now in better condition than the people here.”

Because Meng Qi was backed by Su Junmo, Li Anhe didn’t hide anything from her. He frowned: “Last night, I returned to the sect to check on them, and they also…” Li Anhe shook his head and sighed. None of these injured cultivators were disciples of Xuanyun Villa. However, Huajiang Manor was on the foot of Xuanyun Villa’s mountain. According to Three Thousand Worlds’ rules, Xuanyun Villa was responsible for Huajiang Manor’s safety. Therefore, these injured cultivators were also their responsibility.

“I see.” Meng Qi nodded. The fragrance here was so strong, much heavier than Lan Zhuxuan and the others. Meng Qi frowned and quickly walked forward. There was another bedroom inside, and when Meng Qi walked nearer, the smell became stronger.

Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo, who followed her in, also frowned. Just smelling this fragrance made people felt sick.

Li Anhe also frowned and said, “Since they were moved in, the fragrance here has become more and more intense.” He shook his head and said: “This morning, there are two fellow Daoists passing by Huajiang Manor. They said that they smelled the fragrance from people injured by immortal devouring vine here, so they specifically came to help us heal them.”

Meng Qi nodded. She quickly walked past the room and entered the bedroom. Xue Chengxuan heard someone was coming and turned his body. Seeing Meng Qi, he smiled at her and gestured silently.

Inside the room, three bamboo beds were arranged parallelly. On the floor in the middle, there was a low table with a small bronze cauldron on it, and light pink smoke curled out from the cauldron. The fragrance in the bedroom should be the heaviest, but the sweet smell was countered by the light bitter medicinal scent, so it wasn’t as bad as the adjacent room.

Meng Qi stared at that the small cauldron for a moment, thinking that it was a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it before. She turned her gaze at the corner of the room. There were two people, a man and a woman, sitting side by side on the chair.

The female cultivator on the left was in her twenties. Her hair was like a waterfall, and was tied up by a small pearl hairpin. She wore an elegant light yellow long skirt, with a slender waist and limbs. Even when sitting, she looked elegant and graceful. What’s more, she even has a very beautiful face.

The female cultivator met Meng Qi’s eyes, and her petite face turned pale in an instant. Her long thick eyelashes trembled slightly a few times, and she seemed to force herself before she managed to squeeze a smile: “Junior sister Meng Qi.”

This woman was Lu Qingran.

Sitting next to her was a male cultivator in a black robe. He wore a hat with black gauze, completely hiding his face. The exposed hands were slender but abnormally pale. The man also turned his head towards Meng Qi.

Meng Qi couldn’t see the man’s face or eyes through the layer of gauze. She could only see the fingers that the male cultivator laid lazily on the armrest. The fingers suddenly bend slightly, and knocked the armrest in a careless manner.

In an instant, Qin Xiumo already jumped to Meng Qi’s side. He quickly moved his hand, and his natal long sword appeared in the air, ready to attack at any time. Qin Xiumo didn’t know who he was, but instinctively felt that the black-robed man sitting next to Lu Qingran was very dangerous.

A chuckle came from under the black gauze.

Xue Chengxuan heard Lu Qingran greeted Meng Qi, and looked at the two in surprise: “You…” He turned at Meng Qi. “Are you disciples from the same sect?”

“It used to be.” Meng Qi said with a low voice. Her attention was still on the small cauldron that exuded the light pink smoke.

What is it?

Meng Qi took a breath. The slightly bitter and astringent medicinal scent, mixed with an intoxicating sweet smell, incurred a strange feeling that could not be described.

What is it?

Meng Qi turned her head to glance at Xue Chengxuan. Since this knowledgeable Feng Alliance’s medical cultivator didn’t feel anything was wrong, it should be harmless. But she always felt a little strange, as if she had seen this thing somewhere, but now couldn’t remember it.

“This is the powder on the wings of the Canglan purple butterfly, mixed with three hundred years old coiled silk fruit, Tianluo crystal, and…” The man wearing the gauzed hat suddenly said, “The powder made from Kuchan bamboo.”

He has a nice, yet extremely cold, voice. If a cold jade hit a stone, its sound would make people feel a trace of chill rising from their back.

The man seemed to be observing Meng Qi: “Is my method correct?”

Without waiting for Meng Qi’s answer, Xue Chengxuan already opened his mouth: “The powder made from the first three medicinal materials indeed can expel the effect of many monster beasts and monster plants. However, since no one has tried it before, we don’t know whether it will also work with the immortal devouring vine.”

“Heh…” The man cultivator smiled coldly, “Try it and you’ll know.” He knocked on the armrest again. “Otherwise, these people cannot wait for you to hunt the five elements blue crane. The immortal devouring vine will turn them into a pile of fertilizer first.”

Meng Qi: “…”

Not only this small cauldron. Even the man’s tone of speech felt a bit familiar to her. Had she seen this person in her previous life? But why she couldn’t remember at all?

There were so many men coming and going around Lu Qingran, so it was normal if Meng Qi didn’t know all of them. But although this voice was so nice, his tone was cold and ruthless. There was no way Meng Qi would forget such a man if she ever met him before.

“In other words…” The male cultivator stood up. He was tall. Xue Chengxuan was already tall enough, but even without the hat, this man was slightly taller than Xue Chengxuan. “You people are no longer needed here.” He turned his head and reached out a hand towards Lu Qingran: “Let’s go.”

Xue Chengxuan’s expression changed slightly, but he said nothing. After all, Xuanyun Villa had no relationship with Feng Alliance. But because they were both located in the Western Realm, when the other party asked for help, Feng Alliance naturally lend a hand, especially after knowing that the problem was caused by a mysterious vine they had never seen before.

Xue Chengxuan stared at the mysterious man who refused to show his face, then at Lu Qingran. He just heard her calling Meng Qi ‘junior sister.’ Regardless of whether they studied under the same master or not, it was certain that the two came from the same sect, which was an Eastern Realm’s sect.

Three Thousand Worlds were divided into four realms, but none of the realms was strong enough to crush the other three. However, in these several last millennia, the Western Realm has been recognized to be the leader in medical expertise. And Feng Alliance stood in the peak of Western Realm’s medical cultivators. Unexpectedly, when he visited the Eastern Realm after so many years, this realm, which bordered the Demon and Devil Realm and thus had the slowest development among the four realms, actually produced so many young and talented cultivators.

Xue Chengxuan turned his head and looked at Meng Qi again.

Meng Qi watched Lu Qingran.

Lu Qingran hesitated, but slowly raised her hand and placed it on the man’s pale palm. She lowered her head, stood up slowly, and without looking at Meng Qi again, walked behind the man towards the door.

When the two passed by Meng Qi. Qin Xiumo snorted lightly, took a step forward, and protected her behind him. He stared at the black-robed man cautiously. The sense of danger became even more prominent when he approached.

As if feeling its master’s tension, Qin Xiumo’s natal long sword suddenly buzzed. Floating next to Qin Xiumo, its tip flickered with cold light.

The mysterious man turned his head towards Qin Xiumo. “Heh…” He sneered again, “Interesting.”

The man suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers. His movement wasn’t fast, but Qin Xiumo couldn’t follow it.

The mysterious man suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers. His movement wasn’t fast, but Qin Xiumo couldn’t follow it.

Although Qin Xiumo hadn’t fully healed, he still had the strength of a Golden Core cultivator. What’s more, he refined his natal sword after entering the Foundation Establishment stage. Since then, the sword has never left his body. One person and one sword understood each other perfectly. Even when Qin Xiumo’s injury was worse than now and his cultivation base temporarily fell, Qingfeng Valley’s sect leader, who supposed to have higher cultivation, could barely alter the projection of Qin Xiumo’s sword.

However, in front of the black-robed man, Qin Xiumo was like a kid playing with a wooden sword. The man simply raised his hand and flicked his fingers slowly. His hand was pale and slender, even looked sick and weak. But a light flied from his finger and accurately hit the tip of Qin Xiumo’s sword.

Qin Xiumo couldn’t avoid it at all.

“Ugh—” Qin Xiumo suddenly groaned. A drop of blood slid down from the corner of his lips.

Meng Qi was startled.

“Haha—” The black-robed man laughed and shook his head. “You are still too weak. Looking at your grandmaster’s face, today I will spare your life and your natal sword. Next time you dare to be so rude again, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

When the man attacked Qin Xiumo, his other hand still held Lu Qingran’s hand. She didn’t dare to move, but quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Xiumo.

“Let’s go.” The black-robed man tightened his grip on Lu Qingran’s hand, then took her out of the room.

Until their figures disappeared on the door, the room was still quiet. Li Anhe didn’t even dare to open his mouth. Xuanyun Villa was a sword sect, every sword cultivator would refine their own natal sword. Li Anhe was knowledgeable. Placed in Xuanyun Villa, Qin Xiumo’s natal sword was absolutely the strongest in his generation.

When the mysterious man and the woman called Lu Qingran said they could save the injured cultivators, he didn’t care about other things. But unexpectedly, the man was so powerful?!

Xue Chengxuan slowly sighed.

Su Junmo expression was grave. “That person…” He shook his head: “From his voice, he shouldn’t be that old. But his cultivation level is already so high. How amazing!”

Celestial demon clan was born with star shadow constellation in their body and used it for their cultivation. The star shadow constantly absorbed the aura around them, so they basically never stopped cultivating. Su Junmo could reach the Nascent Soul stage at his age, and was already an outstanding genius in Three Thousand Worlds. Even so, he couldn’t perceive the mysterious man’s cultivation level whose voice didn’t sound much older than himself.

Amazing!

For Su Junmo, this was a very high evaluation.
