Feng Guang said two words: "Touched."
But there was no sign of emotion on her face.
Sun Yidao let out a snort from his nose.
Xue Ran sighed, "Senior and I have been friends for many years. Very well, I am willing to go to Bashu. However, Miss Xia still needs my daily acupuncture treatment to cure her poison. If I am to leave the valley, then Miss Xia..."
"It's alright, it's alright!" Feng Guang quickly said, "I'm willing to go with you. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, I've never been to Sichuan. I've heard that there are many bamboos there, beautiful scenery, and lots of food. Doctor Xue, please take me with you."
Sun Yidao looked at her with new respect this time, "I didn't realize you had such a kind heart, even though you did it to chase after a man..."
"Cough cough!" Feng Guang interrupted him with a violent cough. "Everyone knows that I have a kind heart, so there's no need to say it again."
She gave Sun Yidao a threatening look, "If you dare to expose me, I'll cause trouble and make sure Xue Ran can't go!"
Sun Yidao pursed his lips, stroked his beard, and remained silent.
Thus, Xue Ran's trip to Sichuan and Chongqing was finalized.
At the entrance of the Valley of Old Friends on the second day, only Sun Yidao came to see them off. Feng Guang's poison required daily medication and acupuncture, but Qing Yu was still inexperienced and had not yet mastered the art of acupuncture. Therefore, Xue Ran dared not let him perform the acupuncture at will, otherwise, if the wrong acupoint was needled, it would cause even greater trouble. Otherwise, he could have left Feng Guang and Qing Yu in the valley instead of taking them with him.
Just as they were about to set off, a young man with a sword at his waist came out of the valley. He said to Xue Ran respectfully, "Mr. Xue, the Valley Master has ordered me to come and see you off. I hope you have a safe journey and return soon."
"Thank you for your concern, Valley Master. Please convey my gratitude on my behalf."
"Yes, sir, have a safe journey."
With Xue Ran's help, Feng Guang boarded the carriage, while Qing Yu drove it from outside. Soon, the carriage slowly started moving.
Feng Guang was sitting comfortably in the carriage. She rested her hands on her knees, propped her chin up, and stared at Xue Ran sitting opposite her with her beautiful eyes. At this moment, the only thing she could be proud of about her face was probably her pair of ethereal eyes.
Xue Ran put down the book in her hand and smiled slightly, "Miss Xia."
"Hmm?" She tilted her head slightly, captivated by his deep and powerful voice. She had to admit, the way he called her was really beautiful.
"Why are you staring at me?" Her gaze was so intense that it was hard to ignore.
Feng Guang replied matter-of-factly, "Because you're beautiful."
He hadn't expected her to be so blunt, and his face darkened. "It's just a shell; a hundred years from now, it will turn to dust."
"So, we should cherish the time when we are still beautiful, shouldn't we? As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty. It is human nature to be attracted to beautiful things. Just like now, I am staring at you because I think you are beautiful. I can't help but stare at you because you are pretty. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be interested even if they begged me to look at them."
Well, the way she said that made it sound like he was incredibly honored to have her favor.
Xue Ran lived in the valley for a long time, and even among the people in the valley, he rarely interacted with others. Everyone said that he was an elegant person who was detached from worldly affairs, but in fact, he did not know how to socialize.
Every time others saw him, they would shout, "Please, divine doctor, save me!" They would shout and kneel down. After a few times, Xue Ran found that no matter what he said, those people would just keep crying and sobbing. So he stopped liking to talk to people and stopped liking to go out. Later, he heard that people in the martial arts world gave him the title of "Holy Monarch of Medicine and Poison" because he had prescribed a formula for someone to fight poison with poison a long time ago.
It is said that the Holy Lord of Medicine and Poisons lives a secluded life, and it is harder than climbing to heaven to see him. In reality, the real reason is simply that he is afraid of those who cry and shout.
Therefore, when Feng Guang bluntly said "good-looking," his ears turned red. He knew that sometimes women would stare at him when he left the valley, but no woman would ever say he was good-looking to his face.
