Liu Tingxue clapped her hands. "Everyone can see that I didn't provoke her. This was self-defense." Her expression was utterly innocent.
Everyone nodded blankly, looking at Liu Tingxue as if she were a monstrous beast.
Yang Shouxin pointed at Liu Tingxue with his finger, "You..."
Liu Tingxue rolled her eyes at him, ignored the two people lying on the ground, and turned to leave. The crowd automatically moved away, immediately making way for her.
Just then, Liu Tingxue noticed An Ge and the other person. She didn't feel embarrassed at all and happily prepared to go over and say hello.
"Shh!" An Ge clearly didn't want to reveal her identity.
"An Xiaoge, what brings you here? Did you come to see me?" Ignoring Hu Jiu beside her, Liu Tingxue gently took An Ge's hand and said in a tone that even carried a hint of coquetry.
If An Ge hadn't just watched such a wonderful show, she would definitely be completely mesmerized right now.
Liu Tingxue's appearance was so deceptive that even though An Ge knew her true nature, she couldn't help but soften her tone when speaking to her.
“Hogg was being hunted by a Grandmaster-level assassin outside. I heard you were out there alone, and I was a little worried.”
Liu Tingxue's eyes shone with light. She knew that An Ge had seen through her true nature and thought that even if she wasn't driven away, she would stay away from her. She was prepared to be disliked, but she didn't expect An Ge's first words to be full of concern for her.
Although she likes to do things her way, she is not a heartless person. "An Xiaoge, you are too good. You are so kind. What if you are bullied?" After saying that, she glanced at Hu Jiu and had a "you are the one who benefits" look on her face.
"Although Hu Jiu doesn't have many good points, An Xiaoge should still consult him more often when she encounters problems. He's cunning and shrewd."
Hu Jiu, who was shot without saying a word...
An Ge felt that her appearance was probably deceptive, otherwise why would everyone she met be worried that she would be kidnapped?
"By the way, An Xiaoge, I've decided to open my clinic in Huaixi City. Opening a clinic in an inn is so boring." Seeing An Ge's hesitation, she continued.
“These past few days down the mountain, I’ve come to realize how much respect everyone has for you. If I opened a clinic there, the patients would come with the mindset that they would definitely get cured, which puts a lot of pressure on me.”
Although I could revive someone as long as they have a breath left, I've thought about it carefully since coming here. I can't always rely on spiritual energy to heal; I need to use manual techniques more. That way, even without me, others who have learned my techniques can treat difficult cases in the future.
An Ge thought about it and felt that Liu Tingxue's words made a lot of sense. If a clinic were opened in the inn, then the patients who came for treatment would not believe in Liu Tingxue's medical skills, but rather in those ethereal divine powers.
“It was my oversight. It’s a good thing that you’re opening a clinic down the mountain, but it’s not safe outside right now, and I’m really worried about you being out there alone.” Then, she explained what happened to Hogg.
Liu Tingxue wanted to retort, saying that she was not weak either. Although her direct combat strength was suppressed here, her methods were not limited to direct confrontation.
In the Tianxuan Continent, she was a poison doctor whom everyone respected and feared, and also the omnipotent senior sister of the Xinglin Sect. Few people cared about her like this anymore.
Liu Tingxue smiled sincerely, "I rarely appear at the inn now, and almost no one knows my identity, so don't worry, Xiaoge'er."
Although An Ge was a chosen one, she always respected the thoughts of the divine servants. Seeing Liu Tingxue's insistence, she figured Liu must have her reasons, but she agreed to her request. "Um, what if you encounter bad people during your consultations..."
Before An Ge could finish speaking, Liu Tingxue said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely not be bullied by bad people."
"No, I mean, don't bully people too much."
After they finished speaking, they both fell silent.
Liu Tingxue was somewhat troubled. "Then I'll try my best?"
Just then, Yang Shouxin caught up with Yang Yi. She was somewhat startled as she looked at the two people talking to Liu Tingxue. Judging from their appearance and demeanor alone, these three were the most unusual people she had ever met.
“Young lady, as a doctor, what you did was wrong. We doctors are responsible for saving lives and healing the wounded, and we must treat all patients equally.”
Seeing that he seemed about to launch into a long speech, Liu Tingxue silently rolled her eyes. "Even if the other party has committed numerous evils, they still need to be treated?"
Yang Shouxin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded firmly, "The crimes of evil people should be punished by the law, not by us doctors."
An Ge watched the old man with great interest. In the past, she would have agreed with his views, but in this era, such opinions were clearly out of place. Given Liu Tingxue's personality, such preaching would obviously repel her.
Sure enough, before Yang Shouxin could finish speaking, Liu Tingxue, who had been gentle, responded in a serious tone, "You shouldn't be saying this to me, but to this lady. You're called Yao Niang, right? Tell me, do you think my actions were right or wrong?"
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Old Lady Wang and Wang Ergou shouting on the ground, Yao Niang quickly caught up with Liu Tingxue. She had only intended to watch from a distance, but she hadn't expected to be discovered. She emerged from around the corner, her eyes no longer filled with the deathly light of before, and kowtowed fiercely to Liu Tingxue.
"Thank you, Yao Niang. It's too good for someone like Wang Ergou to die."
"How can you, as his wife, curse your own husband like that?"
"Hahaha," Yao Niang seemed to have heard something funny, and she laughed until tears streamed down her face, but the laughter was heartbreaking to hear. "This is truly the biggest joke I've ever heard."
After saying this, she wiped away her tears. "It's true that they bought me, but they are the ones who are to blame for my ordeal. They kidnapped me because they wanted to buy a wife."
Since I entered the Wang family, they haven't treated me like a human being for a single day. If I don't earn money, they don't feed me, and they beat and kick me. They even considered selling me to a brothel and buying another one. If it weren't for this girl today, either I would be dead, or they would be dead.”
Yao Niang had originally planned to take advantage of Wang Ergou's severe injuries to perish together with the Wang family. But now she realized that Wang Ergou's current state was better than letting him die.
"Why didn't you seek help from the authorities or run away?"
"I never expected you to be so naive at your age." Yao Niang's contempt was undisguised, making Yang Shouxin's face turn red instantly.
Yao Niang did consider escaping, but her five older sisters valued Wang Ergou more than their own lives. In addition, their husbands were not good men, so the Wang family continued to run rampant in the countryside.
Moreover, they seemed to know the bottom line, and did not commit any major crimes on the surface, so the officials could not do anything about them.
Behind the scenes, however, the Wang family committed many evil deeds.
