Shen San stood up and pretended to take the little girl away.
The little girl turned pale with fear, knowing that they didn't believe her at all: "Wait! I'm telling you...Isn't it okay for me to tell you?!"
Lu Yunxi had a faint smile on her lips: "No! We never make things difficult for others! Since you don't want to talk, then go to the government office and ask the officials to come..."
"Wait!" The little girl couldn't help but glare at them. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I'm telling you this of my own accord!"
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "There's a lot of gossip in the inn. I'm sure you've heard it. The Medical Immortal Sect has been looking for someone recently... I'm the one they're looking for."
"Oh?" Lu Yunxi's eyes flashed as he glanced at the little girl's hands. Those hands were white and tender, and it was obvious that she had never done much work.
"Are you the sweeping girl who stole the medical records and ran away from the Medical Immortal Sect?" She raised her eyebrows with a half-smile.
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "I'm not a sweeping girl! This is just nonsense the Medical Immortal Sect made up to catch me!"
She took a deep breath and talked about her own story: "My mother is a princess. Although she is not very favored, she is not someone who can be bullied by anyone. But after my parents passed away, I was the only one left in the family..."
The little girl's surname is Luo. Her parents died in an accident, leaving her alone.
Fortunately, the family still had some money left, so the little girl didn't have to go out and pick up trash to make a living. But accidents always come unexpectedly.
One day, Miss Luo suddenly found that her face was covered with dense rashes.
She was very panicked and went to her mother's friend for help.
They told her that in the distant mountains there was a sect called the Medical Immortal Sect, whose doctors were all skilled and experienced. If she asked them for help, the rash on her face would heal quickly.
Although Miss Luo wanted to be cured very much, she did not dare to go so far away alone, so she found a few servants and asked them to go to the Medical Immortal Sect to see if they could invite some doctors back.
Unfortunately, before she could wait for the servant to return, she received news from the palace ordering her to leave the capital immediately.
It turned out that when she went out, someone accidentally saw her face covered with rashes. Some people were worried that she had contracted the disease. What if she infected others?!
So someone immediately wrote a letter to the emperor.
The emperor was also afraid and immediately issued an order. Without even a day's delay, Miss Luo was sent to the carriage.
Fortunately, she did not encounter any danger along the way. She arrived at the Medical Immortal Sect safely and found a doctor.
"Aren't you a patient seeking medical treatment? Why do the people from the Medical Immortal Sect say that you are their sweeping girl?" Shen San frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"This... I don't know either." Miss Luo was also a little confused.
Lu Yunxi smiled. "If the Medical Immortal Sect wants to arrest you because you're a patient, then it would be ridiculous for them to do so! Only if you work for the Medical Immortal Sect would they have a legitimate reason to arrest you."
Most importantly, the Medical Immortal Sect's fame is entirely due to word-of-mouth from the patients they've cured. If word gets out about them planning to take action against a patient, their entire sect's reputation will be ruined! There's no one in the Medical Immortal Sect who can fight! Once attacked by a group, there's no way to stop them!
Miss Luo seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand. She continued to talk about what happened next: "Afterwards, I started my days of treating illnesses at the Medical Immortal Sect..."
Her life in the Medical Immortal Sect was similar to theirs, basically taking medicine and sleeping, taking medicine and sleeping.
Time passed day by day, and after about half a year, the rash on her face finally healed.
She was very happy and grateful, so she thought of asking her servants to go back to the capital to bring back some gold, silver and treasures.
But she hadn't thought about that at the time, because when she left, she was hurriedly sent away. She had only a few servants with her, only two or three in total, and she had sent them all back, leaving her alone in the Medical Immortal Sect...
"That day, after dinner, I went out for a walk and accidentally heard a little girl crying." When she said this, Miss Luo became nervous, her eyes were uneasy, and her breathing became rapid.
Seeing her like this, Lu Yunxi was worried that she might faint before she finished speaking, so she interrupted her: "What little girl? Is she younger than you?"
"Of course she's younger than me," Miss Luo was stunned for a moment, frowning as she recalled the past. She gestured on her legs, "The little girl was only about this tall. She should be... five or six years old, right?"
"Because there was no one around except her, I suspected she was lost, so I went to ask her if I could help her find her family."
"Who knew, when the little girl looked up, I found that she only had one eye!" When she said this, Miss Luo nervously grabbed the hem of her clothes, with an extremely uneasy look on her face.
Lu Yunxi patted her shoulder soothingly: "It's normal. Maybe you were accidentally injured. It's just that you rarely see it, so you were scared."
"No! That's not the case!" Miss Luo shook her head excitedly, "She wasn't injured accidentally!"
"When I walked over, the little girl kept backing away, crying and saying, 'Please don't dig my eyes out, okay?'"
"I..." Miss Luo closed her eyes, her face gradually turning pale, "How could I possibly dig out her eyes?! No, no! That's not what I want to say! Actually, I..."
Looking at the incoherent Miss Luo, Lu Yunxi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and chopped down with a knife.
She fell to the ground with a plop.
Shen San glanced at her blankly: “Master, why did you knock her out?”
