"Uh, hello store manager!" Hua Yue said with a smile, her smile widening when she saw An Ge.
An Ge showed no embarrassment at being caught eavesdropping and calmly nodded in response.
Having spent more time at the inn, Hua Yue realized that An Ge wasn't as aloof as she seemed, and her awe of her diminished considerably. Now, in high spirits, she couldn't wait to share her victory with others.
"Manager, I didn't mean to be sarcastic towards the customer just now, it's just that that person is really weird!"
Before An Ge could ask, Hua Yue spilled the beans about Shi Xinyi, revealing everything about her.
According to Hua Yue, Shi Xinyi was not a member of any particular faction in the martial arts world and had always lived with her mother. After her mother's death, the three major sects—Mingyue Manor, Guiyi Sect, and Shenyi Valley—competed to take her into their ranks.
Shi Xinyi originally lived in the Guiyi Sect, but later, for some unknown reason, she switched to Mingyue Manor. After the manor was destroyed, she returned to the Guiyi Sect.
At Mingyue Manor, Shi Xinyi was deeply favored by the manor lord, which caused Yan Ping and his wife to argue several times.
Hua Yue didn't know much about the inside story, only that Shi Xinyi was favored by various powerful forces because of her mother. Shi Jie, who was once the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, was pursued by many men.
Unfortunately, beauty is often short-lived. Shi Jie disappeared from the martial arts world for unknown reasons, and when she reappeared, she was entrusted with the care of the Guiyi Sect.
After hearing Hua Yue's words, even An Ge couldn't help but sigh. The female lead was indeed the female lead; her good fortune was matched by a tragic fate.
However, An Ge felt that compared to Shi Xinyi, her mother was definitely living the life of a leading lady!
An Ge had a gut feeling that there would be more dramatic stories about Shi Xinyi, and suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Shi Xinyi was staying at the inn, otherwise how would she have the opportunity to see such a wonderful story?
"Manager, someone has collapsed outside the inn. Yangzi and I saw that he was seriously ill, so we brought him to the inn. Could you please let him go to the Holy Spring to heal his wounds?"
Xiao Chen ran over breathlessly and asked An Ge somewhat nervously.
Since arriving at the inn, Xiao Chen has rarely had the opportunity to speak with An Ge alone, but his gratitude towards her has only grown stronger.
They had already troubled the store manager enough, and now they had taken it upon themselves to bring the person back, causing even more trouble for the manager. This made Xiao Chen very uneasy.
He hadn't wanted to help at first, but seeing the young servant pleading so desperately, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes. For some reason, Xiao Chen suddenly thought of the days before he came to the inn.
Back then, facing oppression and persecution, he desperately hoped that someone would appear to lead him out of his misery.
Therefore, in a moment of impulse, he brought the person back. Then, considering the person's critical condition and the long queue for entry into the Holy Spring, he could only plead with the shopkeeper for leniency. Now that he had calmed down, Xiao Chen couldn't help but regret his impulsive actions.
Unaware of Xiao Chen's anxiety, An Ge said without thinking, "Quickly carry the person to the Holy Spring, and then go find Rong Zhuo."
Because of the natural vitality of wood-type abilities, Rongzhuo is often recruited to act as a healer.
Xiao Chen gratefully raised his head and answered loudly, "Yes!"
An Ge rushed over and saw An Yang and a servant carrying a pale-faced man inside.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen behind An Ge, Fu Kang immediately guessed An Ge's identity. He knelt down in front of An Ge with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, "Please, fairy, save my young master! Please, fairy, save my young master!"
"Ding, temporary mission issued: Treat Chi Mu, mission reward: library, two lottery tickets, accept mission?"
"yes!"
An Ge didn't have time to think much before accepting the task. She called over a few busy employees to help carry the person to Shengquan.
Fukang watched as Chi Mu entered the Holy Spring, and only then did his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settle down. His forced composure crumbled instantly, and he collapsed to the ground.
An Ge hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I want to make it clear in advance that the Holy Spring only has the effect of strengthening the body and improving health, unlike what people say about it curing all diseases."
I don't know how it got around, but now everyone believes that the holy spring can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
When Ange heard this rumor, she silently posted a prominent notice at the entrance of the Holy Spring.
Fukang's heart tightened again, but he quickly nodded. The young master had already told him that the holy spring might not be as omnipotent as rumored, and that he shouldn't be too disappointed if it was useless.
But Fukang still firmly believed that the inn could give the young master a chance to survive, and if the sacred spring was useless, there was still the fairy.
When they confirmed the inn's existence, the young master, who hadn't laughed heartily in years, showed a relaxed smile for the first time. If it weren't for a sudden relapse of his illness that delayed them along the way, they might have arrived at the inn much earlier.
While Fukang waited anxiously outside, Chi Mu, whose breathing had been weak, slowly opened her eyes.
"Where am I? Could I have already reached the underworld?" Chi Mu was somewhat bewildered, a mix of emotions welling up within him at the thought that he was no longer in the mortal realm. Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong. Could ghosts feel heat?
Chi Mu slowly came to her senses, then opened her eyes wide and pinched herself hard. "I, I'm still alive! Yes, I'm still alive! Haha, cough..." The usually composed Chi Mu laughed so unrestrainedly for the first time, even though laughing would make her body hurt more, she was still fearless.
Only by experiencing death can one truly understand how precious life is!
Soon, Chi Mu drifted off to sleep again.
When he woke up, it was already dark. Chi Mu stretched, and the burning pain in his chest had lessened considerably, making him feel more relaxed than ever before.
He dressed himself, looked at the steaming spring water, and suddenly understood.
"So this is the sacred spring. It's truly miraculous. I wonder how Kangfu is doing. I need to get out of here quickly."
