Everyone was alarmed by Yao Niang's words, especially Yang Shouxin.
His mind was in a state of confusion. On the one hand, his long-standing medical principles made him feel that it was wrong not to save Wang Ergou. On the other hand, he couldn't feel any sympathy for Yao Niang's plight.
Yang Shouxin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in rebuttal. He glanced at Yang Yi beside him and saw his indignant expression, clearly disapproving of his actions.
Was he really wrong? Yang Shouxin fell into self-doubt.
Liu Tingxue looked at Yang Shouxin, who was deep in thought, and sneered, not intending to argue with him anymore.
She looked at Yao Niang and raised an eyebrow. "Now that Wang Ergou is crippled, the Wang family no longer has time to bother you. This is the best time for you to escape. Why are you following me?"
Yao Niang kowtowed several more times, saying, "I have learned some medical skills since I was a child. Although I am not very good at them, I can still cure some common minor illnesses. I want to follow you as your servant, and I will definitely not hold you back."
Do you think I'll be short of people to do things for?
The light in Yao Niang's eyes dimmed. It had taken all her courage to say those words. After being rejected, she suppressed her grief and said, "It was Yao Niang who was arrogant. Yao Niang will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you when I have the chance."
An Ge admired Yao Niang's personality quite a bit and was about to speak when Liu Tingxue said, "Whether or not I accept you is not my decision. If my young lady agrees, then I agree. What do you say, young lady?"
Liu Tingxue looked at An Ge with a teasing expression, leaving An Ge speechless. She was clearly also tempted, so why did she have to make An Ge decide for her?
Hu Jiu surprisingly agreed with Liu Tingxue on this point. To them, An Ge was indeed their master, even if she herself wasn't aware of it. But as divine servants, they had to remember that.
Seeing Yao Niang's expectant eyes, An Ge coughed and said, "Tingxue is going to open a clinic in Huaixi City in the future. Yao Niang happens to have some skills in this area, so she can follow you."
Overjoyed, Yao Niang kowtowed several times to An Ge, saying, "Thank you, Miss. I will definitely do my best for the clinic in the future."
Yang Shouxin watched as Yao Niang instantly shed her deathly aura, as if reborn. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Even after the others had walked away, Yang Shouxin remained rooted to the spot.
"Yi'er, do you really think Wang Ergou shouldn't have been saved?"
“Elder Yang, I think that girl is right. If it were me, I wouldn’t save her either.” After saying that, he closed his eyes, preparing to face the elder’s criticism.
Yang Yi waited for a long time but didn't hear any criticism. He opened his eyes and saw Elder Yang's thoughtful expression. He shrank back, trying to minimize his presence.
Although the Wang family doesn't have time to deal with Yao Niang right now, there will still be danger once they come to their senses. An Ge plans to find Prince Duan to resolve this matter and, while she's at it, investigate the illegal activities of the Wang family and others.
After settling Yao Niang in, An Ge finally had a chance to ask why she had taken Yao Niang in.
"It's nothing, I just feel there's still hope for her. If she continues to be submissive, I won't care about her."
An Ge realized that although Liu Tingxue acted impulsively, she was kind-hearted and not a saint. An Ge admired this. In some ways, she and Liu Tingxue were somewhat similar.
Besides checking on Liu Tingxue's safety, An Ge also planned to investigate Hogg's assassination attempt. "Have you encountered any suspicious people down the mountain these past few days? I mean, anyone with at least a Grandmaster level martial arts skill?"
Liu Tingxue thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head. "There are quite a few martial arts practitioners in Huaixi City, but I've never actually seen a Grandmaster."
“Speaking of grandmasters, I have met one.” Just as the group was discussing, Yang Shouxin walked over.
Liu Tingxue was speechless. "Holy Father, why are you following me again? Although you are not old, your appearance is really not my type."
Yang Shouxin choked, then blushed deeply upon hearing their laughter. "You, you shameless little girl! I kindly told you the news, and you actually mock me, humph!"
Liu Tingxue twitched the corner of her mouth. What little girl? Her real age is old enough to be his ancestor.
An Ge quickly interjected, "This one?"
"My name is Yang Shouxin from the Medical Valley, and this is Yang Yi, a disciple of my sect."
An Ge was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she had met someone from the Medicine Valley. She returned the greeting, "I am the owner of a small inn, and my surname is An."
Yang Shouxin frowned when he heard the word "inn," and immediately thought of the legendary Immortal Fate Inn.
However, although this person has an extraordinary demeanor, immortals are supposed to be high above and compassionate towards all people, so how could they be so approachable? Moreover, she also has subordinates who act somewhat absurdly.
"Greetings, Mr. Andong. I did not mean to eavesdrop, please do not take offense."
An Ge smiled and waved her hand, "Dr. Yang is a doctor with a kind heart, which is truly admirable. Naturally, he would disdain doing such things. Dr. Yang, could you tell me about the Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing the words "a doctor's benevolence," Yang Shouxin chuckled and cried. Seeing that An Ge's expression wasn't mocking, he felt quite comforted.
"Actually, I met that grandmaster not long ago; I merely brushed past him. Although I don't know his current strength, he had already reached the grandmaster level twenty years ago."
An Ge was somewhat surprised. Sure enough, there were hidden masters in this world who had reached the Grandmaster level so early.
"From what you're saying, you know this person?"
"I wouldn't say we know each other, but we met once when we were young. He's a sword genius from Sword God Valley, named Jian Shaotian. I've heard he's naive and doesn't understand the ways of the world, but he's quite upright."
This was the first time An Ge had ever heard of Sword God Valley. If such a powerful sect truly existed, why had it never been heard of in the martial arts world?
Yang Shouxin was also somewhat puzzled by this. "If I said that I didn't even know where Sword God Valley was, the An Dong family would definitely think that I was hiding something. In fact, even if I were to go looking for Sword God Valley now, I wouldn't be able to find it."
Twenty years ago, I was being hunted and accidentally stumbled upon a place that resembled a paradise, where I stayed for a while. After my wounds healed, I was driven out of the valley. When I tried to return, I couldn't find the entrance anywhere. If it weren't for the scars still visible on my body, I would have thought it was all a dream. Seeing Jian Shaotian this time, I was extremely surprised.”
Upon hearing Yang Shouxin's description, An Ge instinctively felt that this Jian Shaotian was not the one who was chasing Hogg.
However, there must be a reason why a master-level person appeared in Huaixi City. Perhaps we will see him again at the inn in the future.
As for the mystery of Sword God Valley, An Ge guessed it might be related to formations.
Array masters also need spiritual power, but there are no cultivators in this plane, so it is impossible for array masters to appear. What exactly is going on with Sword God Valley?
An Ge kept these doubts to herself, only feeling that this world was becoming more and more interesting!
