Rong Yi had never been particularly interested in Yun Tianmo's dark humor, and he was too lazy to play along with him any longer. He flicked his sleeve and walked towards Ouyang Zixin. He had heard about her injury before coming, but seeing it with his own eyes made him frown in silence.
"Brother Rong." Bai Su felt a pang of guilt towards Rong Yi. If he had been willing to lend a hand, the outcome would surely have been better than that of the Mystic Physician. Seeing him standing still, she grew anxious, wondering if Xin'er’s injury was quite serious.
"Susu, don't worry. Since I’m here, this girl will be fine." Rong Yi waved his hand, and a mysterious energy spread out, enveloping Ouyang Zixin.
Yun Tianmo wanted to intervene upon seeing this but was already too late.
He had tried this method before, but ultimately the mysterious energy could not be controlled and had to wait for Ouyang Zixin to digest it on her own. Now that his mysterious energy was still not easily depleted, he could handle the wound, but Rong Yi...
"Wait, Master Rong..." The Old Man had realized who this person was—Rong Yi, the renowned expert from Yuhai Continent. However, as a Mystic Physician himself, he felt compelled to remind him that the mysterious energy should not be applied again; otherwise, it might take several more days to address the wound.
Rong Yi sensed something was off as soon as he acted and turned to look at him. "Speak up."
The Old Man swallowed hard and cautiously said, "The Ninth Prince previously covered this Miss Ouyang with mysterious energy but couldn't retract it, which led to... led to..."
Led to the wound remaining untreated?!
Suddenly turning back, Rong Yi discovered that his mysterious energy indeed could not be retracted. However, there were no signs that Ouyang Zixin had absorbed it.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Yun Tianmo glanced at Ouyang Zixin and replied coolly, "Did you ever ask?"
Rong Yi paused for a moment before huffing, "Was there any need for me to ask?"
In Rong Yi's view, Yun Tianmo was an incompetent disciple; such matters should have been addressed long ago. Now there were so many eyes watching, and once again he had done something futile.
The Old Man felt secretly pleased; he had just been overwhelmed by Rong Yi's aura and now finally felt vindicated. He wondered what other good ideas Rong Yi might have next. If there were none... well.
Ouyang Hao did not seem concerned and pulled Bai Su aside while reassuring her.
Neither of them was skilled in healing, especially since Bai Su currently lacked any mysterious energy. Xin'er's situation was also quite special; if the mysterious energy were absorbed carelessly, it could wreak havoc and injure Bai Su as well.
So it was better to leave space for those in front of them.
"You can't make a move. Or are you too afraid?" Rong Yi thought to himself, how could he not notice the Old Man hiding nearby and secretly enjoying the situation? Once again, the question was thrown back at him.
The Old Man recalled that day and said, "The Ninth Prince didn't allow it either."
That was because he wanted to lift Ouyang Zixin's clothes but later realized that she was covered in Mysterious Energy, and making a move could easily harm himself.
But would he say that? Wouldn't it make him seem cowardly?
Rong Yi's Mysterious Energy was crystal clear, making Ouyang Zixin appear more vibrant at that moment. Under the refraction of light, it seemed as if she had become more lively, as if she could open her eyes at any moment.
Compared to the Old Man, Rong Yi, with his high cultivation and medical skills, had no reason to worry about being harmed by Mysterious Energy. After all, it was his own Mysterious Energy; if he were harmed, he wouldn't need to walk around on this Yuhai Continent anymore.
Sitting beside Ouyang Zixin, Rong Yi did not act recklessly. After gathering his focus and energy, he reached out a hand toward the wound on her face.
Seeing this, the Old Xuan Physician hurried over without caring whether he had offended the most powerful person in Yuhai Continent. He quickly explained how he had handled the situation just moments ago.
Noticing his awareness of the situation, Rong Yi raised his evaluation of him in his heart. It seemed that the person Yun Tianmo brought over was not incompetent.
The residual Mysterious Energy in the wound had already been somewhat controlled by him. Beneath the congealed blood, the wound had actually begun to heal slowly. However, this healing process was extremely slow; at this rate, it would take Ouyang Zixin at least half a year to a year to fully recover.
"You all go outside first." With his hand already reaching into the Mysterious Energy, Rong Yi could feel its instability and was somewhat worried about Bai Su, who lacked cultivation. Therefore, he temporarily refrained from taking further action.
The Old Man was not polite either; turning around, he said, "Did you hear that? Everyone go outside. Here I mean—no, here is Master Rong; you all shouldn't be causing trouble here."
He completely acted as if he were not an outsider. Rong Yi raised an eyebrow at Yun Tianmo, surprised that he had brought such a reliable Mystic Physician.
Yun Tianmo turned away from Rong Yi but showed no signs of leaving.
It was Ouyang Hao and Bai Su who were driven out along with Liu Ying and Liu Lu; they were unable to stay behind.
The Old Man smiled ingratiatingly at Rong Yi and said, "Master Rong, can I stay to observe?"
Rong Yi had few opportunities to act; he did not want to miss the chance to learn from a master. Even though he did not possess Rong Yi's cultivation level, watching master-level techniques was still beneficial.
Originally intending to send him away, seeing Yun Tianmo's expression made him think it might not be easy to manage him later. Thus, he allowed the Old Man to stay as an assistant.
Brilliant Mysterious Energy flowed from Rong Yi's other hand and formed a new encirclement beside Ouyang Zixin. This Mysterious Energy must not come into contact with Ouyang Zixin; it needed to control the already covering Mysterious Energy.
This move seemed simple, but in the eyes of the Mystic Physician and the Old Man, it was quite remarkable. They thought to themselves that he truly was a master. If it were him, he wouldn't have the extra Mysterious Energy to do anything beyond the treatment.
"Cloth."
At Rong Yi's command, the Old Man moved with remarkable obedience. Previously, he had only wiped the blood off Ouyang Zixin's face and hadn't treated the wounds on her neck. This was partly because there were too many veins on her neck, and he didn't dare to act recklessly, and partly because he was still considering bargaining.
Now, seeing how Rong Yi handled things, he felt that after years as a Mystic Physician, he was far inferior to this person, which made his gaze even more eager.
"So it was them!" The remaining Mysterious Energy was drawn out by Rong Yi, revealing that it was indeed the Bai Clan's doing. A flicker of disgust passed through his eyes as his movements quickened.
Yun Tianmo had never intended to hide anything from Rong Yi, so when he treated the wound, he didn't hold back. After all, once he took action, Rong Yi would naturally find out.
This was better; it allowed him to discover it for himself rather than being told directly. This way, the matters he had entrusted to him would be easier to handle in the future.
A triumphant smile flashed across his eyes as he looked out the window.
"Ouyang Zixin, you really are an unexpected variable." (To be continued.)
