An Ge looked at the classical woman in the flowing fairy dress before her, her eyes flashing with amazement. The woman was about twenty years old, with a cool face and a gentle temperament, and her light green dress added a touch of vitality to her.
If Hu Tong is like a blazing flame, then the person before you is like a tranquil lake, bringing peace to your heart at first glance.
The woman glanced around, her gaze finally settling on An Ge and Hu Jiu behind her. She frowned slightly. "You're the recruiter?"
“Yes, I’d like to recruit a doctor. I wonder if Miss Liu would be willing?” An Ge saw the other party’s information the moment she met her.
Name: Liu Tingxue
Race: Human
Characteristic: Genius doctor, miraculous cure.
Recruitment Match Rating: Four and a Half Stars
Four and a half stars is already a very high rating.
We must find a way to keep her here!
Just as Liu Tingxue was about to answer, Hu Jiu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "Are you the senior sister of the Xinglin Sect?"
An Ge looked at Hu Jiu in surprise, then understood. Normally, she had already used up her recruitment quota; the reason she was able to recruit people was because of Hu Jiu.
An Ge glanced at the recruitment interface and noticed that the previously flashing recruitment button had turned gray. It seemed that this was the last recruitment slot available.
Liu Tingxue's usually calm expression turned to surprise. She looked at Hu Jiu closely, her eyes widening. "Hehe, who do we have here? It's the young master of the demon race. No wonder there's been no more legend about you on the continent lately. You've been enjoying some leisure here."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes in a very inelegant way.
Well, An Ge felt that this eye roll was very expressive, fully conveying her disdain and contempt for Hu Jiu. But it felt particularly out of place coming from such a gentle and beautiful woman.
Hu Jiu frowned. "I've heard that the senior sister of the Xinglin Sect is obsessed with alchemy and cares nothing for anything else. Why bother coming to our little shop? Please leave."
Before An Ge could speak, Liu Tingxue pointed at Hu Jiu's nose and launched into a tirade, "You stinky fox, you're as annoying as ever! It's just that I tried to burn your fox tail before, and I didn't succeed, yet you're taking revenge and holding a grudge until now!"
After saying that, he looked intently at An Ge, "Don't be fooled by this male fox. A person like me is a rare find, and you'll never have another chance like this. I guarantee that as long as I have a breath left, I can snatch even a dying person back from the jaws of death. Aren't you tempted by someone this amazing?"
An Ge hadn't even recovered from being nearly burned by Hu Jiu's fox tail when she was stunned by Liu Tingxue's self-introduction, and stammered, "Oh, Xin, Xin Dong, you know Hu Jiu?"
Why did such a gentle and beautiful woman have to break her persona so quickly? Couldn't she have been allowed to enjoy herself a little longer?
An Ge was about to agree, but fearing that Hu Jiu was an enemy, she still wanted to ask for clarification.
Liu Tingxue glanced at Hu Jiu sideways. "I've met him before when I went to the training tower in Tianyao City. Don't worry, Hu Jiu and I don't have any deep-seated hatred. We were just a bit naive back then."
"Hehe, you were already in your forties back then, how could you be so young and ignorant?" Hu Jiu felt a warm glow in his heart as he saw An Ge hesitating because of him. Although he had some personal grudges with Liu Tingxue, he would naturally not object as long as An Ge wanted to stay.
"Although this senior sister of the Xinglin Sect may not have many other merits, her medical skills are indeed excellent."
Liu Tingxue was about to retort, but realizing the influence of Hu Jiu's words, she silently swallowed the words she wanted to say.
Seeing that Hu Jiu didn't seem reluctant, An Ge happily let Liu Tingxue stay. The inn finally had a doctor. Although the recruited staff wouldn't get injured easily, there were still quite a few ordinary employees who suffered from minor illnesses.
When Liu Tingxue heard about the job An Ge had assigned her, she pointed at herself incredulously and said, "You mean you want me, a level six alchemist, to treat those mortals?"
An Ge felt a little embarrassed. Although it seemed like a waste of her talents, there weren't many difficult problems in this world. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Liu Tingxue's joyful voice, "This is wonderful!"
"Wh-what?"
“An Xiaoge, you don’t know, I’ve always wanted to travel the mortal world, but my master thought it would be a waste of time and never allowed me to. Actually, compared to the injuries and illnesses of cultivators, the ailments of mortals are more good for training people.”
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she had no objections. But what was with this strange nickname, "An Xiao Ge"?
She originally intended to arrange for Liu Tingxue to stay in the staff dormitory, but after seeing Hogg's foundry, she strongly requested to open a clinic for herself.
An Ge thought this was a good suggestion: let Liu Tingxue design a clinic herself, and then she could build it later.
With everything settled, An Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief. Throughout the entire process, Hu Jiu remained silent. Seeing that Hu Jiu didn't seem angry, she cautiously asked, "What's wrong? If you think there's something wrong with Liu Tingxue, I'll just kick her out."
Although Liu Tingxue is a rare talent, An Ge would naturally choose Hu Jiu without hesitation compared to him.
Hu Jiu smiled and ruffled An Ge's hair. "If she really had a problem, I wouldn't have agreed to let you take her in. But although Liu Tingxue is very talented, her personality isn't very good. Fortunately, she still knows her limits and won't treat human lives as a joke."
"Her personality is alright, though not as gentle as I imagined. By the way, how did she offend you?"
Seeing An Ge's expectant look, Hu Jiu sighed and recounted their feud: "Back then, I was exhausted after leaving the Trial Tower and could only revert to my original form. Liu Tingxue originally intended to contract me as a spirit pet, but during the fight, she set me on fire."
Perhaps this past experience is a bit embarrassing, Hu Jiu continued, "Although I was exhausted of spiritual energy at the time, she was not someone she could bully, and in the end, I naturally won."
An Ge looked at Hu Jiu with amusement. This guy still cares so much about saving face.
With the doctor's problem resolved, An Ge was in high spirits. After saying goodbye to Hu Jiu, she hummed a little tune as she returned to her room.
Watching An Ge leave, Hu Jiu's previously upturned lips curled up. He flashed to Liu Tingxue's residence and said, "From now on, you should assist the Chosen One properly. If you cause her any trouble, I will not let you off the hook."
What Hu Jiu didn't tell An Ge was that although Liu Tingxue's medical skills were superb, she was even more famous for her poison skills. Moreover, she had a bad temper, and if someone sought her medical help and offended her, given her personality, it might cause trouble for An Ge.
Fortunately, she still has principles; she won't easily take action against anyone who isn't truly wicked. If she encounters someone with malicious intentions, she will use cruel methods to torture them.
This is nothing in the Tianxuan Continent, but this plane has its own laws, and even those wicked people should not be punished by her.
