Chapter 45 The Secret in the Coffin
The female medical officer's words successfully attracted Ming Yan's attention.
"Why is she still here?" Ming Yan lazily lay down on the dragon chair.
"Master, it was you who told them that I cannot leave here." The female medical officer raised her head bravely.
A high nose, thin lips, sword-like eyebrows slanting into a few strands of black hair at the temples, the facial features were perfect and impeccable... The female medical officer was so stunned by Ming Yan's appearance that she stood there in a daze.
"What, have you seen enough?" Ming Yan's lowered eyes seemed to say that this charming body was already very tired and had no patience.
The female medical officer realized her own gaffe, smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Let me ask you again, how old is that girl?" Ming Yan wanted to throw the person in front of him away.
"Master, the girl should be over thirteen years old, and has reached the prime of her youth." The female medical officer gave the same answer, but with a more fearless attitude.
Seeing that Ming Yan did not respond, the female doctor raised her head and replied boldly: "My ancestors have been doctors for generations, and I have been learning from my grandfather since I was a child. I can't say that I am the reincarnation of the medical saint, but I believe that I will not make mistakes in the diagnosis."
"Then do you know her real age?" Ming Yan said slowly.
The female doctor shook her head with doubt on her face: "I don't need to know the age of the person I'm examining. I only need to feel his pulse and bones to estimate."
"Oh? I'd like to know, who were your ancestors? Where did they serve as officials?" Ming Yan looked more scrutinizing.
The female doctor's nervousness eased a lot: "My ancestors were common people, not even officials, and they treated the villagers in the village."
"Throw her out." Before the female medical officer finished her report, Ming Yan waved his hand in disgust.
"Master, Master, you are injured and in urgent need of medical treatment. I, I, I have a way.
Ming Yan squinted his eyes and gestured to his leader with disdain: "What a joke! Do I still need treatment from others?"
Without waiting for the female medical officer to beg for mercy, the secret guard threw her out like a chicken.
"Hey, young man, I have no intention of currying favor with you, but the master's health really cannot be delayed. We must not miss out on important matters." After saying this, she quietly took out a bracelet from her sleeves and stuffed it into the secret guard's arms.
The secret guard said sternly: "What a joke, the sect master has an immortal body and has never sought medical treatment for thousands of years. Today is the first time I heard someone say they want to treat him."
The female medical officer was stunned. There were people who had never sought medical treatment. Even immortals sometimes feel unwell. Then she muttered, "I didn't check the auspicious day before going out. I met a troublemaker today..." Then she turned her eyes and ran over to smile flatteringly, "Hey, please don't despise it, my bracelet is a good one handed down from my ancestors.
"Come on, why do I, a grown man, need you to do these things?" The secret guard showed disdain on his stern face.
That is, that is, but little brother, I have one thing I don’t understand, please enlighten me, the woman in the coffin is clearly in her teens, why does the Sect Master say she is a child?”
The secret guard shook his head and said, "Since you are a woman, I won't bother with you. It's better not to do such deceitful things in the future. You actually said that a child of a few years old is in her prime."
The female doctor argued, "Everything I said is true. You just don't dare to admit it. I am not the only doctor in the world. You can find someone else to verify it and it will be clear."
"Everyone knows that she is a child. Where did you come from, you treacherous man? Get out of here quickly." The secret guard jumped up in anger and waved his hand to signal the men guarding the gate to throw her out.
Looking at the "female medical officer" who was thrown all over the place, Wuhen clapped his hands and laughed so hard that he almost died, and kept shouting: "Wuyi, your hat is crooked, haha, this game is really fun."
It turned out that the female medical officer was Wuyi who came to look for her master. Wuyi disobeyed Xiye's order that day and secretly brought the fool Wuhen to look for her master. She expected that the master of the Nine Gates would definitely look for famous doctors to treat her master. Who would have thought that today she would be thrown out by him just because she told him the master's age. This is really a crazy master. Wuyi got up cursing.
"Wuyi, Wuyi, it's my turn to play this time, right?" Wuhen said as he took off the medical officer's hat on Wuyi's head and put it on his head.
Wu Yi was so angry that he wanted to kick the idiot away, but he couldn't anger him at the critical moment, so he could only patiently comfort him softly: "Idiot, this game is not fun. I was beaten up by others. It's more fun for me to take you to find the fairy sister. I just saw her."
"Fairy sister? Great, great." Wuhen jumped for joy. Wuyi limped with Wuhen through the forest behind. After a while, Wuyi panted and pointed in the direction of the secret room and said, "Then, the fairy sister is over there. I originally wanted to go find her to play with, but as soon as I entered, I was thrown out by a bad guy."
Wuhen opened his eyes wide, his handsome face full of disbelief.
Wuyi pretended to sigh and said, "Forget it, idiot. We can't beat those bad guys at all. Let's leave quickly."
Sure enough, this idiot was successfully inspired to fight, and he shouted that he wanted to go find the fairy sister.
Wu Yi knew that this idiot was very skilled in martial arts, so he quickly comforted him, "You must not let them know who you are when playing games."
"Okay, okay, you're still more interesting." Wuhen obediently let Wuyi toy around on his face. After a while, the idiot was made into a different face by Wuyi and sneaked towards the secret room.
............................................................
"Your Majesty, it is just as you said. The entire village of Shijiawan has turned into ruins overnight." Zhang Jiang, with a scar covering half of his forehead, appeared in front of Xi Ye.
The person in front of him, dressed in cloud satin brocade, stood in the hall with slightly closed lips, and his facial features were so handsome that it was difficult to tell his gender. He was looking at him indifferently... Even though Zhang Jiang had seen many immortal faces since he was a child, he could not compare to half the appearance of the ancient god in front of him. What's more, he was able to support the entire Immortal Empire by himself at the age of seven, and became famous in the immortal world at the age of thirteen and unified the remnants of the four directions. At the age of seventeen, he was willing to give up his immortal position for Bai Tian, who had the body of a spirit pearl, and follow him for generations. Just imagine who in this world can do all these, how can such a sentimental and righteous man not be remembered by others... Zhang Jiang's mind seemed to have imagined how much admiration Tian'er would have when facing such a tin night, and his heart was like falling into an ancient well, suffocating but unable to move.
"Lord Liunian?" The name brought Zhang Jiang's wandering thoughts back to reality.
Xiye asked softly, "Have you dealt with everything?"
Zhang Jiangying claimed yes.
"You've worked hard. I'd better call you by your immortal name." Xi Ye asked respectfully.
"Tian'er has gotten used to my name in the mortal world. I will always be Zhang Jiang." Zhang Jiang responded with his head lowered, neither humble nor arrogant.
It turns out that Zhang Jiang, who looks a bit ugly, is the god of the fairy world. Because he has always secretly liked Bai Tian's previous life, he was punished by the fairy king to destroy his appearance. When Bai Tian fell into the mortal world, he still voluntarily followed and protected him, suffering the pain of reincarnation. Today, Bai Tian only remembers the ugly Zhang Jiang when he was studying in Shijiawan, and how can he remember the elegant Liunian in the fairy world in the past. For this reason, Zhang Jiang is unwilling to turn back into "Liunian".
Xi Ye replied calmly: "It's up to you. There are still some remnants in this Shijia Bay."
"Your Excellency may not know that although Shijia Bay is sparsely populated and should be a place of outstanding people, it is also a place where there are many unruly people. Ever since you and Tian'er left, these people have been saying a lot of trouble." Zhang Jiang just shook his head after saying this.
Xiye nodded and said, "You have made great contributions over the years, and you have been reincarnated as an immortal to suffer. How can I thank you?"
Zhang Jiang frowned: "I said that I am willing to do anything for Tian'er, and I don't owe him anything."
Xi Ye's face became colder and colder. Suddenly, he activated his spiritual power secretly, and the vast spiritual energy rushed towards Zhang Jiang, who was still puzzled, like waves rising and falling. In an instant, he was like being wrapped in a silkworm pupa, and the whole person exuded a strange light.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Zhang Jiang asked anxiously.
Xiye's tightly closed eyes slightly opened, and he said with a smile on his face: "I should return you to your original appearance."
Facing his restored elegant appearance, Zhang Jiang looked at Xi Ye in astonishment, without a trace of surprise on his face. He just mechanically replied, "Your Excellency, why do you need to make these sacrifices for me?"
Xiye responded calmly: "Your appearance shouldn't be like this. For Tian'er, you have suffered too much in the cycle of reincarnation."
Zhang Jiang didn't reply for a long while, but he had a thousand words in his heart, "As long as Tian'er remembers me, I am willing to be Zhang Jiang for the rest of my life, even if I have an ugly appearance. But now, Xi Ye is undoubtedly going to wipe out his last wish."
Xiye was inexplicably jealous. "You want Tian'er to remember you, so I will let you return to your former elegant appearance and become the person you should be. We owe nothing to each other and we can both be happy."
For a moment, the sky above the palace fell into silence.
