"Give me your hand, let me see it," Ji Fengyao said as she approached Shang Beiyu.

"You know medicine?" Shang Beiyu handed his hand to Ji Fengyao as instructed, seemingly asking casually.

"I'm not very good at it. I just learned a little bit from Doctor Xiao's master. I can barely treat headaches and fevers," Ji Fengyao said casually, making things up.

She glanced down at Shang Beiyu's hand. The back of his hand, which was as fair and delicate as a woman's, was still red and swollen. Although there were no blisters, there were some signs of ulceration.

This is not just not getting better, it's starting to get worse.

"Give me that hand," Ji Fengyao said, sitting down next to Shang Beiyu.

Shang Beiyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he was taken aback.

He stared at her intently.

"What, are you afraid I'll ruin your hand or something?" Ji Fengyao looked back at him with an open and honest gaze, her eyes as clear and bright as her smile. "Don't worry, I'll just take your pulse. If I'm not sure, I won't prescribe any medicine for you."

Shang Beiyu silently extended his uninjured left hand and lowered his eyelids.

Ji Fengyao professionally took his pulse and said with a smile as she diagnosed him, "We're quite destined to meet, one of us injured in the left hand and the other in the right."

"You..." Shang Beiyu's voice suddenly became extremely soft. After a long pause, he spoke again: "Why are you still so good to me?"

"Why are you still willing?" Ji Fengyao asked, puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Are you referring to the rumors circulating about you?"

Shang Beiyu stared at her intently.

His eyes were calm, neither humble nor timid or ashamed.

"The world is colorful because it is all-encompassing, and I just happen to be the one who likes the world's colorfulness," Ji Fengyao said, withdrawing her hand, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"What, is it serious?" Shang Beiyu asked, but his expression remained calm.

His situation is somewhat complicated.

I don't know if someone gave him the antidote or if he ate something wrong; that's why the medicine she gave him didn't work.

But she had previously said that she only had a superficial understanding of medicine, and if she were to talk about something so complicated, she was afraid that people would become suspicious.

Ji Fengyao was struggling to find the right words when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside the artificial hill, as if many people were heading this way.

"I must go now. Your situation is a bit complicated, and I'm not entirely clear on it either. I'll ask Physician Xiao or his master before I can treat you," Ji Fengyao said, getting up to leave.

Shang Beiyu grabbed her arm: "It's too late, come with me."

As he spoke, Shang Beiyu stretched out his long arm and embraced Ji Fengyao. With a light step, he quickly leaped and traversed through the maze-like artificial mountain complex.

Ji Fengyao instinctively tried to struggle.

Shang Beiyu looked down at her and smiled gently, saying self-deprecatingly, "Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten the rumors circulating outside? I don't like women."

Ah, yes, this is a girl.

Ji Fengyao immediately fell silent, then awkwardly changed the subject: "I didn't expect your lightness skill to be so good."

"If you weren't fast, how could you have survived until now?" Shang Beiyu said in a calm tone, a tone that was so calm it was heartbreaking.

Ji Fengyao fell completely silent.

She's really not good at comforting people, so she'll just have to be nicer to him in the future.

Beyond the artificial hills lies the shore of Yisi Lake.

At this moment, Shang Xiye and Wuying had just docked at the island in the middle of the lake in a light boat.

Shang Beiyu's indifferent gaze swept over the light boat in the middle of the lake before he quickly left with Ji Fengyao.
