Chapter 250: I’m Here To Treat You

“Who let her in?” Jiang Shuxuan didn’t look at Xiahou Chengqin—looking at Yi Bing with cold eyes.

There was a layer of cold sweat on Yi Bing, and his heart trembled slightly. “It should be Yi Tiao, they know that your wound is deep, so they didn’t stop Miss Xiahou.”

He knew what these kinds of people were thinking deep in their hearts. The Jiang family’s status in the ancient martial arts world was very prestigious, and countless people flocked towards them. But the boss’s temper was volatile these past few days, and his subordinates were the one that had been keeping him in check. Otherwise, the entire world would probably be turned upside down once the boss got really angry.

Yi Bing recited a silent tribute for Yi Tiao, thinking that the other would probably follow in Yi Tong’s course in life.

Xiahou Chengqin wasn’t privy to their thoughts. She was a sorceress from the Lisu Tribe, and recently her tribe had been surrounded by many malicious spirits. Although she had followed the tribe’s elders and they had managed to get to Jiang Shuxuan after going through a lot of sh*t, they didn’t really have a lot of contact with him. This was the first time she had stepped into this room.

Thinking of this, she immediately pulled out her talisman papers. “Young Master Jiang, the injury on your back is full of malicious spirits. You have to be diagnosed and treated, otherwise even the gods will not be able to save you!”

Along the way, she had already heard about the extent of Jiang Shuxuan’s injuries from the elders, and had already formulated a way to treat it. She continued calmly, “Young Master Jiang, the only person able to treat your injury in this world is me. No one else can get rid of the evil spirit around it.”

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t say anything. Since Xiahou Chengqin had come in, he had been buttoning up his shirt, and he was on the last one just as she said that.

The slender fingers and knuckles against his crisp white shirt, it was hard to tell which one was whiter.

Jiang Shuxuan had placed the documents in his hand down on the table, and he raised his head, looking out the door. He suddenly got up, and walked out from his table in big strides.

Watching as Jiang Shuxuan approached her, Xiahou Chengqin’s hands trembled slightly, yellow talismans clutched tightly in it. Her palms were covered with sweat. Before she came, she had returned to her tribe and donned her sorceress attire—a snow-white dress with embroidered red plum flowers which accentuated her curves nicely. After she cured Jiang Shuxuan, the Jiang family would definitely be grateful to her, and she could finally leave this god-forsaken place, where there wasn’t even running water for daily use, and the annoying yellow desert sands. Their Lisu Tribe would definitely soar upwards after this...

Her head was lowered, not daring to look at Jiang Shuxuan directly. Her eyes followed the shadow of his person as he neared her, closer and closer, and then... passing her?

What?

Xiahou Chengqin quickly raised her head, finding that Jiang Shuxuan was no longer in the room.

She was stunned for a moment, holding the talismans tightly as she turned around to give chase.

Jiang Shuxuan was walking out to the entrance with Yi Bing, his eyes pointed in a fixed direction.

“Mistress Sorceress, this is our one chance for the Lisu Tribe, you have to use it well.” The elders of the Lisu Tribe who were waiting outside the door said in a low voice to Xiahou Chengqin, reminding her.

Xiahou Chengqin nodded her head, a confident look on her face. “Rest assured, I’m the only one in the world that can cure his wound. Even Divine Doctor Rong will not be able to do anything.”

The elders were well aware of her capabilities, and they felt relieved at her words. “That’s good. It seems that Master Yi Tong has returned, so Young Master Jiang must be receiving him. He values Master Yi Tong a lot, so wait for him to meet him before treating his injuries.”

So it was because he wanted to see Master Yi Tong that he had ignored her, and it wasn’t because he was disgusted with her or anything. Xiahou Chengqin let out a sigh of relief.

***

At the same time, outside the building, Yi Tong was leading Gu Xiqiao and the others in, and they met up with Yi Tiao who was standing guard outside the door.

Yi Tiao glanced up, seemingly disinterested until he saw it was Yi Tong, and yelled out in surprise, “Yi...” He hadn’t even completed his sentence before his eye fell on the figure next to him, which made him even more shocked. “Miss... Miss Gu?!”

Gu Xiqiao nodded her head, not saying a word. She raised her head to look at the entrance.

“I’m going in to see Big Boss.” Yi Tong nodded his head at Yi Tiao, and brushed past him.

“Miss Cecily, you aren’t allowed in.” Yi Tiao finally regained his senses and got back to his job, stopping Cecily from entering.

Cecily was following behind Gu Xiqiao, thinking she could sneak in while Yi Tiao was distracted, but she had been caught and she froze instantly.

“Miss Cecily, do you want to be beaten up by Big Boss again?” Yi Tiao explained patiently.

Touching on this topic, Cecily’s face turned green, thinking about the trashing that she had gotten the last time. She remembered Xiahou Chengqin’s mocking gaze, and all the courage that she had gathered to sneak in faded instantly, her feet rooted to the ground.

Gu Xiqiao narrowed her eyes and glanced at Cecily, and said suddenly, “Let her come.”

Cecily’s eyes snapped up towards Gu Xiqiao’s face. This wasn’t a place where you could just enter just because you say so, and Gu Xiqiao herself might be stopped eventually.

She felt that Gu Xiqiao must be someone who was used to giving orders, but these were Jiang Shuxuan’s subordinates, and they wouldn’t listen to anyone other than him. Even Jiang Shuxuan’s parents were unable to command anything from them, and here Gu Xiqiao was, presuming that she was able to order them around? Wasn’t that a little too bold of her?

Cecily turned her gaze to Yi Tong after her thoughts had surfaced, and hoped that he wouldn’t be too angry.

Yi Tiao was someone who was usually quite easy going and laughed a lot, but he was also very powerful in his own right.

However, she didn’t expect Yi Tiao to look at her, and lowered his hand. “Please enter, Miss Cecily.”

This was the first time she had been treated so politely by Yi Tiao, and Cecily felt like she had wanted into a twilight zone suddenly. She was fascinated, and followed behind Gu Xiqiao after that. She couldn’t help but stare at the other girl. “Qiao Qiao, even though Yi Tiao let me in, what will I do when Young Master Jiang sees me? Forget it, I’ll take the blame and say that I muscled my way in, just don’t do anything when that happens.” It’s not like she hadn’t done it more than once or twice anyway.

Or that’s what Cecily thought.

Gu Xiqiao only glanced at her, not answering any of her questions. She continued to walk forward.

***

At the front entrance, Jiang Shuxuan’s tall, lean body was clothed in a crisp white shirt that was buttoned all the way up to his neck. His cuffs were rolled up, and he was holding his phone in one hand, while the other was balled in a fist. His coal, dark eyes were looking straight at the entrance, and under the sunlight, he looked like a jade statue.

Xiahou Chengqin had never seen this side of him before, and she didn’t know why, she felt a little uneasy. She held her feelings in check, and followed his gaze.

Not long after, a few figures slowly came into sight.

Yi Tong, Cecily, and a girl who was clad in a snow-white dress.

The girl was half a step behind Yi Tong, but when your eyes swept across them, the first person you’d notice was her. Even the usually bright and flamboyant Cecily was dull next to this girl.

The girl was walking at a leisurely pace, her head slightly lowered. As though feeling a familiar gaze, she lifted her head suddenly.

The surrounding seemed to fall silent for a moment, her white clothes resembled snow, and her eyes were cold. Her face was as pretty as a picture, her eyebrows exquisite and perfectly arched. Under the bright sunlight, her skin seemed to have a radiant glow, and the delicate features made people not dare to look at her directly, no matter how eye-catching her appearance was.

Her black hair contrasted against her white clothes, and although the desert sun was dazzling, it wasn’t as brilliant as the girl.

The elder beside Xiahou Chengqin was the first to react. The Lisu Tribe was one that was cut off from the rest of the world, so he was easily able to distinguish that Gu Xiqiao was from the secular world. He exclaimed sternly, “Master Yi Tong, how could you have brought a person from the secular world here?”

Before Yi Tong could say anything, Gu Xiqiao’s gaze which had been on Jiang Shuxuan, turned to the elder. Her eyes were bright and clear as she said, “I’m here to treat his wounds,” She said, pointing at Jiang Shuxuan.

He couldn’t believe that the matter of Jiang Shuxuan’s injuries was even known to the secular world. The elder glared at Gu Xiqiao coldly, mockery in his eyes. “Only a sorceress is able to treat Young Master Jiang’s wounds. How can someone like you from the outside dare to come and treat him? Hurry and get lost!”

She didn’t even know her own place, and came rushing to say that she would treat Young Master Jiang’s injuries? Did she even know what kind of injuries he had sustained? These kinds of people dared to try to cling to the Jiang family, they really were shameless! Only sorcerers in their clan were able to get rid of evil spirits in the world. Where did this little girl come from, not even knowing basic courtesy, rushing headlong into things without even having any information!

“Whatever she can cure, I can cure too.” Gu Xiqiao was happy as this was the first time someone had spoken to her like this.

Although she was smiling, there was no joy or warmth in her eyes. Especially when she looked at Jiang Shuxuan, her eyes got even colder.

Yi Bing was practically hyperventilating internally behind Jiang Shuxuan, not daring to say a word. Mommy, Miss Gu really was terrifying!

Hearing Gu Xiqiao’s words, the elders of the Lisu Tribe all had mocking expressions on their faces. What bold and arrogant words! The Lisu Tribe had teachings that were passed down through the generations, being able to snatch people back from the brink of death. This was especially true in Xiahou Chengqin’s generation, how could they be compared to ordinary mortals?

The elder was no longer interested in concerning himself with Gu Xiqiao, and he turned to Jiang Shuxuan. “Young Master Jiang, seeing that Master Yi Tong has arrived, let the sorceress heal your wound as soon as possible. Once the time passes, there may be changes that aren’t good for you.”

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t answer, his onyx eyes still on Gu Xiqiao—not moving from her at all.

Xiahou Chengqin noticed his gaze, and her heart started pounding in her chest. She turned to look at Gu Xiqiao. This girl had been in the market just now, and she noticed because of her clothing that stuck out like a sore thumb among the people, but she hadn’t paid her any attention apart from that.

She didn’t expect to see the girl once again in such a short period of time, and with Jiang Shuxuan’s attitude towards her, jealousy started bubbling in her heart.

“I saw you just now, you were the one who said you could cure the boy, right?” Xiahou Chengqin said. “This girl, you look young, so you should probably research and study more on some medical skills. There are just some diseases that you can’t treat in this world.”

Her tone was that of a teacher, and having said that, she didn’t bother with Gu Xiqiao and turned to Jiang Shuxuan. “Young Master Jiang, we should hurry into the house. Your injuries can’t be ignored.”

However, the white figure moved quicker than her, and Gu Xiqiao grasped Jiang Shuxuan’s arm, her tone impatient as she stated, “I still want to see what kind of disease it is that even I can’t treat!”

“Qiao Qiao!” Cecily exclaimed in shock. She looked at Gu Xiqiao, fear gripping her heart, worried that Jiang Shuxuan would slap her away.

Daring to touch Jiang Shuxuan, where did she find the courage to do that?!

However, Jiang Shuxuan’s reaction was unexpected. He stood there, letting her hold on to his arm. His head was lowered slightly, looking at Gu Xiqiao. There was a slight warmth in his usually chilly eyes.

In that moment, the cold around him seemed to dissipate as he lowered his head further to look at her face, the corners of his mouth tilted up in a rare smile. “Are you done playing?”

The low, clear voice was heard by all around them, and Cecily finally came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Shuxuan with an incredulous expression on her face, not believing what she was seeing. When had she ever seen Jiang Shuxuan like this? Thinking about it, she looked at Gu Xiqiao in disbelief. These two... they!

How was that possible?! Cecily felt her world crumble slightly, and then realized that no wonder, it was no wonder Yi Tong and the others treated her with such respect. It was no wonder that Yi Tiao had let her in after just one word from Gu Xiqiao.

She initially thought that they were just afraid of Gu Xiqiao’s strength, but she didn’t expect that there was another layer of relationship in the middle of it all.

Xiahou Chengqin was also shocked, she didn’t expect the two to be acquainted with each other. But then she remembered Jiang Shuxuan’s words, and she forced a smile on her face as she tried again, “Young Master Jiang, we should look at your wound.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiqiao’s face got colder. “What do you mean play, I’m here to treat your sickness!”

“Hmm, what sickness are you treating?” Jiang Shuxuan asked, his tone patient.

“Your insanity, obviously.” Gu Xiqiao said, gritting her teeth.

Jiang Shuxuan wasn’t annoyed in the least when he heard her reply, smiling smugly instead. “Come inside, the sun is too bright outside.”

Seeing that Jiang Shuxuan was really going to let Gu Xiqiao treat him, Xiahou Chengqin’s face turned pale and then green. She caught sight of Cecily’s provoking look behind her, and her fist clenched tighter.

“Mistress Sorceress...” The elders were worried. “What do we do now?”

“What can she heal?” Xiahou Chenqin waved her hand dismissively. There was no hint of panic on her face, only cold calmness. She was still confident in her analysis. “Let’s follow them, she’ll be begging me to take over the treatment by the end of this!”

The group of elders nodded in agreement, and was instantly reassured at that. Since ancient times, their tribe’s sorcerers were indeed the only ones who could dispel the evil spirits.
