Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Dao Yi and suddenly blurted out, "Aren't the medical skills of your Xuanmen sect also very impressive?"
...Dao Yi couldn't stand it any longer, and still smacked Xuan Yuanzhan on the head with the Jianzhi sword in his hand: "What do you mean 'your Xuanmen'? It's us! You're a member of the Xuanmen now too!"
Although the Xuanmen sect has been destroyed and is no longer around, he has already become a direct disciple of the Xuanmen sect and its successor by passing on the most authentic Xuanmen techniques to him.
How could he say that your Xuanmen sect has such a lack of belonging!
Xuanyuan Zhan wasn't annoyed by the two taps on the head and continued to ask casually, "Since the medical skills of the Xuanmen are so amazing, is there any medicine that can help pregnant women shorten their pregnancy period?"
Upon hearing this, Dao Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he scolded Xuan Yuanzhan, "You know you only come to visit your master when you have something to ask for. You wouldn't think of coming to see your master if there's nothing wrong with you."
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Dao Yi with his monk-like hair sticking up and felt quite uncomfortable. However, thinking about the secret reason for his visit today, he still tried to appease Dao Yi by pouring him a cup of tea: "Isn't this why I came to see you? Master, please have some tea."
Dao Yi glanced at him, seeing right through his little scheme, then picked up the teacup he offered and drank it all in one gulp: "You asked about the medicine? Are you asking for your wife?"
Hearing this, Xuan Yuanzhan was instantly filled with suspicion. But before he could think any further, Dao Yi seemed to remember something and frowned, saying, "That's not right. Didn't your mother just ask for that kind of medicine? Why would she want it again?"
Xuanyuan Zhan: "..."
Xuanyuan Zhan stared suspiciously at Dao Yi, who had suddenly changed his tone: "You just made it for my mother."
"Didn't she just send someone to ask for it a few days ago?" Dao Yi said, then asked curiously, "What? Didn't you need it? Or did you lose it and send someone to ask for it again?"
Looking at Dao Yi's serious expression, Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
"Is someone suspecting there's something wrong with your wife's pregnancy? If it really doesn't work, you can just talk to them and explain. Anyway, she's carrying your child," Dao Yi said with concern.
Seeing that Dao Yi was acting this way, Xuan Yuanzhan was even more confused and didn't want to beat around the bush with him anymore: "I have one more thing I want to ask you."
Dao Yi didn't say anything, just stared at him expectantly.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: ask any questions you have, and say whatever nonsense you want.
When it came to his own background, Xuan Yuanzhan was actually a little uncomfortable. He leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Um, when my mother was pregnant with me, did you give her this kind of medicine?"
Sure enough, Dao Yi got angry again upon hearing this, and smacked Xuan Yuanzhan on the head with the Jianzhi sword in his hand: "What kind of question is this? What are you doubting?"
Xuanyuan Zhan had bumps all over his head from being hit so hard. He rubbed his head impatiently and said, "Don't worry about what I suspect. Just answer me the truth."
Just as Dao opened his mouth to speak, Xuan Yuanzhan eagerly reminded him, "Master, monks cannot lie!"
Dao Yi was furious and glared at him, saying, "Whether I lie or not, my answer is no! This medicine is something I just developed. I was pregnant with you twenty years ago, so it's too late!"
"..." Xuan Yuanzhan looked at Dao Yi speechlessly, frowning as he said, "Master, I'll remind you one more time, monks cannot lie!"
When Dao Yi saw that he did not believe him, he immediately raised his hand and performed a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha, this humble monk is a monk and would never speak falsely."
Looking at Dao Yi, who had suddenly become serious, Xuan Yuanzhan still didn't believe him and squinted suspiciously, saying, "The Xuanmen medical arts have been passed down for decades or even hundreds of years. You just developed this medicine?"
Dao Yi scoffed: "The Xuanmen medical tradition has been passed down for decades, but our Xuanmen has never developed such a medicine, nor does anyone have such a need for it. What would we do research these things for?"
Xuanyuan Zhan's face darkened, still disbelieving him: "So this kind of medicine has never existed before, and you invented it as soon as Mother mentioned it to you?"
Is this drug really that easy to develop?
Is it really that simple, that coincidental?
Why is it that Master's words are so unconvincing?
Seeing that he still dared to question the medical skills of his Xuanmen sect, Dao Yi instantly became angry again: "Hey~ you brat, how dare you doubt your master's medical skills! Although our Xuanmen sect mainly focuses on martial arts, our medical skills are also very powerful. The Xuanmen Thirteen Needles are something that even the Divine Physician Luo admires, okay? Don't underestimate our Xuanmen medical skills!!!"
Back in the day, their Xuanmen medical skills were quite famous in the Central Plains martial arts world. Countless people came to their Xuanmen for medical treatment!
Thinking that their Xuanmen medical skills had not yet been passed on, Dao Yi felt extremely regretful. Suddenly, he looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and said with bright eyes, "Our Xuanmen medical skills have not yet found a successor. Are you interested in learning them? Or I can pass on my medical skills to you as well, so you won't be so suspicious all the time!"
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Dao Yi, who was looking at him with great interest, and knew that he would definitely not get anything out of him today.
"Let's go!"
Xuanyuan Zhan had no intention of playing along with him, so he got up and left, his back view showing a carefree and uninhibited air.
As soon as Dao saw his retreating figure disappear in a short while, he called out, "Hey~ you came all this way just to ask these two stupid questions? I knew you wouldn't come all this way just to curry favor!"
Once he was sure the person was out of sight, Dao Yi raised his hand again and silently murmured, "Amitabha, forgive me, forgive me!"
My dear girl, this time I even lied to Buddha for you.
Bah, bah, bah! He wasn't Dao Yi just now, he was Lu Shao. He didn't lie to Buddha. He just didn't want that kid to have any wild thoughts. Buddha, please don't be offended!
While apologizing to the Buddha, Dao Yi struck the wooden fish.
It seems he won't be able to sleep tonight; he'll have to stay up all night apologizing to Buddha.
Xuanyuan Zhan emerged from Bailong Temple and stood somewhat bewildered on the long stone steps.
He didn't know what he wanted to find out, nor what kind of answer he wanted to get.
It seems that no matter what the answer is, it won't make him happy!
Xuan Yuanzhan recalled Bai Shi's words once again.
"Zhan'er, just remember that you are my son, Ning'er's husband, and the father of your children. Everything else, whether dead or alive, is unimportant."
Yeah?
Does it not matter whether the others are dead or alive?
So, it doesn't matter whether it's Xuanyuan Kun or Xuanyuan Peng!
Perhaps Ning'er is right. He shouldn't think so much. Whether Xuan Yuanpeng is his biological father or not, it won't affect what he's going to do later.
Even if he wasn't, he would still treat him as his biological father.
Or perhaps he was overthinking it all, and that he was actually his biological father!
Since he didn't get a definite answer, he decided to let it go and didn't want to delve into it further. He was fine with things as they were!
Having figured it out, Xuanyuan Zhan walked briskly down the mountain.
