"You see, we were originally planning to clean the young lady's wounds, but this Mysterious Energy is blocking us, so we didn't dare to act recklessly," Liu Ying said, leaning against the bed with Liu Lvy.
Liu Lvy nodded, acknowledging the situation. However, now that the Mysterious Energy seemed to have diminished, they still couldn't take action. What could possibly make Liu Ying so happy?
With a reproachful glance at Liu Lvy, Liu Ying thought it was typical of someone cultivating the Orange Element Body not to think more deeply. "Since the young lady can use that person's Mysterious Energy, what could it mean that this Mysterious Energy has decreased?"
Liu Lvy looked at Liu Ying and then at Ouyang Zixin lying on the bed. It seemed she had an idea forming in her mind but couldn't quite grasp it.
"The Mysterious Energy must have been absorbed into the young lady's body," Liu Ying said in a hushed tone, speaking mysteriously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lvy quickly covered her mouth to stifle a gasp, her eyes widening in surprise.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Liu Ying lowered her hand and said, "We should keep this to ourselves and not tell anyone else. Just in case..."
She pointed towards the direction of the backyard and gave Liu Lvy a knowing look, leaving the rest unsaid.
With Ouyang Zixin gravely injured and neither the master nor mistress coming over, it was likely that someone had said something. Liu Lvy was just too lazy to think deeply; she wasn't truly foolish. So without needing Liu Ying to elaborate, she understood the stakes involved and nodded in agreement.
After keeping watch for an entire night, by the next morning, the Black Qi covering Ouyang Zixin finally disappeared completely.
"Do you still have that person's contact information?" Liu Ying asked Liu Lvy. It would be better to notify him than to inform the master or mistress.
Liu Lvy thought for a moment and replied, "I can contact him once more."
Yun Tianmo received their notification and arrived quickly. This time, the doorman dared not block him; even the guards in the mansion did not appear, allowing him free passage.
As soon as he arrived, Ouyang Hao was informed but chose not to show himself. Instead, he was inside talking with Bai Su.
After assessing Ouyang Zixin's condition, Yun Tianmo confirmed his suspicions. Indeed, all those Mysterious Energies had been absorbed by Ouyang Zixin while she was unconscious. Whether this was good or bad for her remained unclear for now; however, at least they could finally begin treatment.
Old Man soon arrived at Xuan Shi Mansion but was not allowed in by the doorman. After some commotion, he finally made it to Yuexin Pavilion.
Upon entering with a stream of curses, he saw many people standing in the room. Ouyang Hao had come with Bai Su as well. Liu Ying and Liu Lvy were attending nearby while Yun Tianmo stood alone by the window looking outside.
After letting out a grunt, the Old Man did not say much and directly walked towards Ouyang Zixin.
This time, he did not attempt to lift her clothing. It was not that he was afraid of Yun Tianmo, but rather that the blood on Ouyang Zixin's body had already congealed. Touching her clothing carelessly would only cause her further harm.
The Old Man's bony fingers gently brushed against a wound on her face. Without taking out any tools, he simply said, "Hot water."
Liu Ying had already prepared it. Upon hearing the command, she hurriedly brought over the hot water and also handed him a silk handkerchief, thinking it could be used to clean the wound.
Seeing the handkerchief, the Old Man raised his lip in disdain and said, "Wealthy families are truly extravagant. Don't they know that it's better to use cotton cloth for cleaning wounds?"
Liu Ying's hand froze in mid-air; she had not prepared any cotton cloth. Liu Lvy, being clever this time, quickly turned around and went out. In a short while, she returned with some cotton cloth.
Only then did the Old Man reach out to take it, dipping it in hot water and roughly wiping Ouyang Zixin's face.
Watching his rough movements, Bai Su tightened her grip on Ouyang Hao's hand in anxiety. With such forceful and careless wiping, it was not just treatment; she feared that he would worsen the wounds on her face.
"Mister Xuan Medical, you..."
Liu Ying and Liu Lu approached from either side to stop him, but the Old Man was not easily intimidated. He shouted, "What do you two know!"
Although his actions seemed casual, they were actually quite deliberate. However, the methods of the Mystic Physician were not something ordinary people could comprehend. Why were they so nervously fussing? Did they not see that Ouyang Hao remained still? Did they not notice that Yun Tianmo did not intervene?
The two maids were stunned by his shout and looked blankly at Ouyang Hao and Bai Su. Seeing Ouyang Hao nod slightly, they finally stepped back, daring not to make any unnecessary movements.
"There is still residual Mysterious Energy within the wound. It seems that whoever injured this girl truly intended to ruin her," the Old Man remarked without mentioning anything about killing or sparing her. Given her injuries, it was clear that they had intended to kill her. However, from these wounds, it appeared she had been deliberately tortured before being killed.
Upon hearing this, Bai Su could no longer hold back her tears and began to sob in Ouyang Hao's embrace.
"Mister Xuan Medical, please..." Ouyang Hao started to plead, but the Old Man did not even glance at him and continued speaking: "The Old Man may not be very skilled, but I can at least treat these minor injuries."
Blocked from speaking further, Ouyang Hao realized that his concern had caused confusion. Since the Mystic Physician had come, there was no need for him to plead for anything.
"Ninth Prince, this is not cheap," the Old Man began discussing prices with Yun Tianmo right away without regard for her parents' status.
In the Yuhai Continent, there were few who could be called masters among Mystic Physicians. Those like him had long ceased to regard wealth as important; what he meant by "not cheap" likely referred to something else he wanted from Yun Tianmo.
"Treat." Yun Tianmo did not turn around, simply uttering this word.
The Old Man chuckled upon hearing this, rubbing his hands together as he looked at Ouyang Hao and Bai Su, saying, "What do you both think?"
He was trying to negotiate a price from both sides, but what could Ouyang Hao say?
If it were him, he feared that the Old Xuan Physician would not return at all, and he could not interfere with the transaction between Yun Tianmo and himself. However, regarding his daughter's injury, no matter what the Mystic Physician asked for, he would have to agree.
Before Ouyang Hao could speak, Bai Su had already promised a large sum of gold and silver, also assuring that if the Mystic Physician encountered any difficulties in the Exiled Nation in the future, he could come to the National Protector's Mystic Master Manor for help.
"What does the Old Man want those things for?" The Old Man scoffed. Besides, as a Mystic Physician, those who wanted to curry favor with him would likely line up around the Yuhai Continent; he certainly did not need any so-called help from the National Protector's Mystic Master Manor.
"Then what do you want?" Ouyang Hao pressed Bai Su's hand down, signaling her not to rush.
"The Old Man wants that!" The Old Man turned around and pointed at Ouyang Zixin, saying, "Just that."
Bai Su was stunned upon hearing this; the Old Man could very well be her daughter's grandfather yet was asking for her daughter. She was unwilling to agree and quickly looked at Ouyang Hao, hoping he could do something.
However, Ouyang Hao did not react as Bai Su expected. Instead, he looked at his daughter and realized that what the Old Man wanted was indeed that thing. (To be continued.)
