Chapter 161: Take Off Your Mask! (1/2)
“Interrupting the the Medical Assembly was not my intention. I have other things to attend to, so I dare not to waste my time. All of you elders and this older sister, I will now take my leave.” After speaking, he turned around to leave. The densely packed crowd looked at him, but they stepped aside to clear a path for him to take.
“Ai… Young brother, young brother, please stay… Why do you just leave like that?” Shui Nanhe hurried a few steps forward to pull him back. “You haven’t told me the method you used to heal those two. Today was the first time I saw the technique you used, I haven’t even heard of it before.”
“Yes, this is a secret method, Grandpa Medicine Expert. Do you think I will just simply tell you about it?” Ye Wuchen did not slow his steps, he answered while looking at Ning Xue who was waving her hands at him.
“This… But…”
“Please don’t speak anything further, Grandpa Medicine Expert. You know very well that I have an important matter on hand, I don’t dare waste my time.” Ye Wuchen said.
Shui Nanhe’s tight and nervous face gradually calmed down. He was not a person who did not know how to appreciate favors. For Ye Wuchen to step up to the stage under numerous eyes of the crowd, it was already considered an honor for him. If he continued to nag him like that, not only was it to no avail, but he would be taking advantage of being a senior. Without a choice he could only say, “It’s really my bad. If that’s the case, then I hope you have a pleasant journey ahead and be able to return back safe. If we meet again, I shall make the shameless request for your guidance, hehehehe.”
Ye Wuchen was smiling as he nodded, the crowd separated and he eventually joined with Ning Xue. They quickly got farther away from the crowd as they disappeared from its line of sight.
Shui Nanhe’s eyes were following him all along, then he returned back disappointed and frustrated. Facing old Qin he said, “President Qin, let’s start the Medical Assembly. Oh? Where is the woman in white?”
“A while ago, she left.” President Qin’s gaze hinted at the direction she went.
“Gone?” Shui Nanhe turned his head to look around. He did not see any shadow of Beautiful Woman, so his heart felt a moment of disappointment. He had already achieved his goal of attending this Medical Assembly, even if the woman was not the one he had been looking for, but it did not matter. He had also witnessed some medical skills that could be regarded as miracles. What he extremely regretted was that he still was not able to find out who that woman was, neither was he able to determine the real method that Ye Wuchen used to save those two people. Furthermore, the pills that Ye Wuchen had made them take were evidently the normal oral liniments. As the “Medicine Expert”, of course he knew all the sorts of medicine around the world, so he could determine them easily based on their color and smell.
Returning to the Medical Assembly, Medicine Expert’s thoughts were already dull. In his thoughts he secretly decided that the next time he met Ye Wuchen, even if he were to lose face, he would still insist on asking him for some advice.
……………………………………………………………………………
“Fairy Meng, please stop throwing sneaky glances at me or I might think that you are interested in me.” Ye Wuchen looked forward as he remarked without turning his head.
Meng Zhi fiercely turned away, her face slightly heating up. Softly snorting, she did not try to argue because firstly, she would appear to be lacking confidence and secondly… Arguing with him was simply asking for trouble.
After coming out of Tian Yun City, it was true that she had been stealing glances at Ye Wuchen all along to try to see clearly the man who has been indifferent and easy going the whole time no matter where he was, which made her unable to completely see through him. She was starting to believe that the chances of her success in this mission became more uncertain as time went by. She could only travel with them together towards Yan Long City with gritted teeth.
“Brother, that big sister you competed with, you won, right?” Ning Xue asked.
“En, of course. That big sister must have been caught unprepared.” Ye Wuchen smiled.
“Then where did she go? Didn’t you agree that whoever lost should agree to do one thing? I knew that brother would certainly win.”
“Not just one thing. If she lost, she agreed to two of my requests. Don’t worry, Xue-er, she won’t escape. Not only can’t she escape, she will voluntarily approach us.” Ye Wuchen smiled mysteriously.
Tong Xin leaned her body closer to him, using her hands to softly pull at his sleeves. Ye Wuchen slightly nodded his head, in a low voice he said, “I already know, just ignore her.”
Ye Wuchen knew that Beautiful Woman, who had a plan against him, must be following them from behind, but when he consciously observed, he could not detect her. Tong Xin’s reminder clearly proved that what he expected was right… Beautiful Woman’s strength was indeed very powerful. What sort of mysterious person was she!?
Based on Ye Wuchen’s current strength, to be able to avoid his detection, one needed to be above Spirit-Level, and she could even deliberately conceal her breath from him. This clearly explained that Beautiful Woman possessed a strength more powerful than Spirit-Level. For someone to possess such strength at a young age, he only knew one person—Shui Mengchan. For Shui Mengchan to attain Heaven-Level was no doubt due to the Southern Empire Clan’s practice of “Anointing One’s Head with the Powers of the Heaven and Earth”, or else for a twenty year old person to reach Heaven-Level could only be regarded as ridiculously funny.
So then this woman… Could she be the leader of the Northern Empire Clan? No...
In the sky very high up above, a very attractive woman with snow white dress silently looked at Ye Wuchen’s group of four as they went out of the southern gate of Tian Yun City. Her ordinary face was covered with cold frost, as indifferent as the snow.
