Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "I've only met Jiang Muxue a few times and even once made a misstep with her. Why is she so happy to see me and even calls it fortunate?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm also honored to meet Miss Jiang. Is there something you need, Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Muxue replied, "Mr. Ling, how have you been lately?"
Jiang Muxue wasn't good at small talk, and after she spoke, her face turned red.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm doing quite well."
Ling Zhenfei was curious to see what Jiang Muxue really wanted and what more she could say.
Jiang Muxue opened her mouth to speak but then closed it again, clearly having something she wanted to say but couldn't.
Ling Zhenfei knew that Jiang Muxue acting so strangely meant something was definitely up.
"Miss Jiang, if there's something you need, just say it. If there's nothing, I'll be on my way."
As soon as he spoke, Ling Zhenfei turned to leave, but Jiang Muxue hurriedly called out, "Mr. Ling, please wait."
Ling Zhenfei knew Jiang Muxue definitely had something to say. As an old fox himself, how could he not see that?
Jiang Muxue was the type of noble lady who lived in seclusion in the mountains or hidden away, so she wasn't very good at interacting with others.
So when Ling Zhenfei said he was leaving, Jiang Muxue had no choice but to call him back.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Well, what's the matter?"
Jiang Muxue replied somewhat shyly, "It's actually nothing too serious. I know you're very skilled in Medical Arts, so I wanted to ask for your help in healing someone."
Ling Zhenfei was slightly taken aback, thinking it was some unspeakable matter, but it turned out to just be a request for medical aid.
Ling Zhenfei wondered whether he should help or not. To be honest, he had almost no connection with the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, except for the time he helped them with a treatment.
But then again, since he had already helped them once, why help again?
However, he looked at Jiang Muxue again and knew that a girl like her wouldn't ask for help unless she really had to.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Oh, someone is ill? Although I know a bit of Medical Arts, I'm no Divine Doctor. I can't guarantee I can treat any kind of injury."
Jiang Muxue hurriedly said, "It's really okay, really. Just take a look. I believe you can treat it, I trust you."
Ling Zhenfei was moved, realizing that whoever was ill was very important to Jiang Muxue.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It seems this sick person is very important to Miss Jiang. The last time your master was injured, you weren't nearly this anxious."
Jiang Muxue's face reddened slightly as she said, "Mr. Ling, I know I was a bit rude to you last time, and I hope you won't hold it against me."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, not expecting Jiang Muxue to say something like this. She really wanted him to save this person.
Ling Zhenfei pretended to hesitate and said, "But I seem to have some matters to attend to, and I might not have the time."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue became anxious and said, "Mr. Ling, please help us. Thank you very much."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback once more. He never imagined Jiang Muxue would be pleading with him, proving how important this person was to her.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "May I ask who this sick individual is to you and how they got injured? Surely you can tell me that much."
Jiang Muxue quickly nodded and said, "Of course, I can tell you. The injured is one of my senior brothers. He was wounded in the Foreign Land, and his condition is very strange. None of the fellow brothers who came with us can heal him.
My master said that you are probably the only one who can save him. Since you helped my master last time, he has trusted you a lot and praised you publicly more than once."
Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "Alright, you don't have to flatter me. I'll help you. Otherwise, you'll shower me with more flattery."
Upon hearing that Ling Zhenfei was willing to go, Jiang Muxue's happiness was indescribable.
She grabbed Ling Zhenfei's arm and shook it, saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Ling. Thank you."
Ling Zhenfei's heart trembled, realizing how love could change a person. To think such a beautiful and spirited Jiang Muxue would lower her head for no one else, yet for this person, she was pleading with him.
Ling Zhenfei was quite curious about what kind of Magic Power this man had. His curiosity was part of the reason he agreed to help Jiang Muxue.
There were hundreds, if not thousands, of cultivators injured in the Foreign Land. Ling Zhenfei couldn't save them all.
But since he stumbled upon this case, he might as well try to save him.
Under Jiang Muxue's guidance, Ling Zhenfei headed towards the Wu Liang within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Actually, Ling Zhenfei had a good impression of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect because he had helped Ye Wushan of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect recover from a serious illness.
He successfully treated such a severe illness for Ye Wushan, so those at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect who knew the situation had a favorable impression of Ling Zhenfei.
Many people recognized Ling Zhenfei, and as they saw him enter, many greeted him.
This made Ling Zhenfei feel very good, as he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
Before the arrival of Wu Liang and the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Ling Zhenfei had been considered a public enemy of humanity. He wondered if this view was now somewhat improved due to the arrival of Wu Liang.
Within Wu Liang, there were many small rooms. Jiang Muxue stopped at the door of one such small room.
"He's in here."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, let's go in."
Jiang Muxue said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir."
Ling Zhenfei sighed inwardly and said, "It's nothing. Let's go in."
Jiang Muxue opened the door, and the two walked in. Inside the room were two other people tending to the individual, indicating his high status.
If his status were ordinary, with such serious injuries, he might have died here, with no one to care or look after him.
Jiang Muxue said to the two people, "You can leave now. This is Mr. Ling, who once treated my master. I've brought him to treat Senior Brother."
The two looked at Ling Zhenfei and gave a respectful bow, saying, "We've long admired your reputation, sir. Sorry to trouble you."
After returning the bow, the two left the room.
Ling Zhenfei approached the patient's side and saw that a sword had been thrust into the person's chest.
This sword was quite strange; it looked like a sword but was not made of metal, resembling something like grass or wood.
Ling Zhenfei was very curious about what this thing was, now lodged and broken at the person's chest.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "How did he get injured?"
Jiang Muxue replied, "It was that day in the forest when we were attacked by Demon Hunters. That person wielded a Wooden Sword and injured many of us. My senior brother fought with him and was eventually stabbed by that final thrust.
My senior brother struck back with all his strength and broke the sword, hitting that person. After that person left, my senior brother was injured, and that's how he ended up like this."
Ling Zhenfei checked the person's pulse and inspected the wound, saying, "His chest was pierced by the sword, but the wound didn't hit any vital areas. His current unconsciousness must have another cause."
