Chapter 75: Gorgeous Doctor (22)

People who came to “invite” Ming Shu soon arrived. Ming Shu supported herself on the railings of the inn and looked at the large crowd below in quite a pleasant mood. “So many people are here. It looks like I’m very important.”

Hui Xue was totally speechless. She looked to Liu Feng, who was squatting on the beam, and found the same helpless feeling in his eyes. Miss, they did not come to invite you to a feast. They are here to invite you to death, okay?

Could you take it a little more seriously?

“Miss.” Hui Xue pulled on Ming Shu’s clothes, not letting her leave. “You don’t have to go downstairs.”

Ming Shu patted Hui Xue’s hand lightly and smiled. “They have come all the way to invite me, how can I not go, right? That would be impolite.” There must be a big show, I’m not gonna miss it .

“Miss!” Hui Xue stamped her feet anxiously. “Those people don’t have kind intentions. What should we do if something unexpected happens? You’re the master of Death Valley. You have to keep yourself safe.”

There was only one disciple in Death Valley for each master. Now that the old master had passed away, and the Miss hadn’t gotten any disciples of her own, if something bad really happened to Miss… How should the Valley deal with that? Miss was behaving irresponsibly by risking her life, both to herself and to the Valley.

“Relax, I have nine lives!” Ming Shu said in a proud voice. “These people are not strong enough to hurt me.”

If she didn’t want to die, who could force her?

Naturally, Hui Xue could do nothing about Ming Shu. Soon they were dramatically escorted by the crowd to an open space in the center of Xiling.

At this time, the open space was surrounded by countless people from all the families around the city. Meanwhile, the golden serpent slithered over a building, its head held high, and gazed at the people below.

Feng Cheng stood in the middle of the crowd. He was surrounded by some old men, all of whom were sage-like in appearance and looked compassionate, with no worldly desires.

These people should be the so-called powerful predecessors.

Ming Shu walked into the circle of people with a calm smile, her red robe floating in the wind. She displayed no signs of fear or nervousness. She cast her mild gaze directly into everyone’s eyes.

She looked like an innocent and harmless girl. The air seemed to move easier upon her arrival.

She was a person who obviously did not have powerful momentum, but her sense of presence was stronger than anyone else present.

All of the eyes were moving with the red-clad figure, some complicated, some regretful, some indifferent, hateful, jealous…

“Miss Zhi Po.”

A middle-aged man from the Xiao family stepped forward and blocked Ming Shu.

Ming Shu stopped. “What do you want?”

The lord of the Xiao family quietly watched Ming Shu. This girl could stay calm even under such circumstances.

Lord Xiao took a few more steps forward and lowered his voice. “Miss Zhi Po, as long as you promise to treat Rufei, the Xiao family will help you handle this matter. This is a favorable transaction, what do you say?”

Since Feng Cheng could negotiate with the golden serpent, the Xiao family could also start another negotiation. That’s why Lord Xiao could offer this suggestion to Ming Shu.

But Ming Shu lifted her hair. “Well, I say it’s unnecessary. I can handle this myself. Why do I need your help?”

If a fist couldn’t handle a matter, then one could count on fact and reason.

[…] It seems the fist equals to fact and reason in the Guest’s understanding. So… what’s the difference?

Lord Xiao had been informed of Ming Shu’s stubbornness earlier by his people, and it was said she was very conceited. Considering that most disciples of Death Valley had medical skills unmatched by ordinary people, it was understandable that they may be conceited. However, he didn’t expect this person to be so arrogant.

“Since Miss Zhi Po said this, she must be very confident.” Lord Xiao changed his tone.

Ming Shu reached out to cover her mouth, yawning, then put down her hand and smiled. “I’m not that confident. Don’t frighten me, Lord Bai. I’m just a weak girl, it’s impolite for you to talk to me like that.”

“…” What’s wrong with this person? Was she acting on purpose?

He wanted to save her life.

Since she disrespected me like this, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.

“That’s enough. You are talking too much. Where is the other person?” The golden serpent grew impatient. His big head fell violently a few meters down, pressuring the crowd into moving back a few steps.

Lord Xiao spared a glance for Ming Shu, then waved toward the back. Soon Xiao Rufeng was brought out.

Her bloodstained clothes were a total mess. With such weak breathing, it seemed she might die at any minute.

Ming Shu took out a few pieces of dried meat from within her sleeves. She watched Xiao Rufeng be dragged to her side as she chewed the dried meat.

Xiao Rufeng still had some breath. She tried hard to lift her eyelids, accurately capturing Ming Shu’s figure. A fierce and sharp light flashed past her eyes, but all she could do now was shiver. Her cracked lips trembled. “Zhi Po…”

“Yeah. It’s me.” Ming Shu answered in a bright tone. “You are alive? Great.”

Xiao Rufeng’s body shivered even more fiercely, and she squeezed out a few words through her teeth. “Zhi Po, don’t be too proud too early. Who will win or lose is not yet settled.”

“Oh.” Ming Shu continued to chew on the dried meat with smiling eyes. “It doesn’t matter who wins or loses. What’s important is… do you hate me?”

I’m not here to compete with you. I’m here for Hatred Points!

Xiao Rufeng’s hands clenched into fists, and her blood-red eyes filled with hatred.

Hatred?

How could she not hate her.

This woman had troubled her many times. She was also the cause of the present situation. She certainly hated her.

If she survived today, she must make this woman suffer. She had been a killer for so many years, which had earned her much experience in torturing people.

“As agreed, we give you these two people, and you exit the city, back to the Windy Mountain Range of Demons. Never show yourself in Xiling again.” Feng Cheng, as a representative, stood up and negotiated with the golden serpent.

” Hiss , rest assured. I’m not like you humans who eat your words.” The golden serpent sneered.

Humans were sinister and deceitful. They never kept their word.

Even beasts kept their word more strictly than humans.

Feng Cheng looked at Ming Shu and Xiao Rufeng. A wisp of gloomy light appeared in his eyes. This Xiao Rufeng was definitely not a loser, as she appeared on the surface. As for that Zhi Po…

After several strange and quiet seconds, Feng Cheng waved his hand to order his escorts to take them to the serpent.

Xiao Rufeng curled her mouth even more at Ming Shu.

Let’s wait and see.

Ming Shu calmly shoved the last bit of meat into her mouth, patting her hands, and asked, “Are you really handing me to this stupid snake?”

“Hiss hiss—” Stupid snake? What?!

The golden serpent hissed at Ming Shu for a few moments, but it didn’t move. Seeing this, the onlookers broke the silence. “Zhi Po, it was all your fault. You think we don’t know what happened in the Windy Mountain Range of Demons? It’s you who caused the trouble, don’t dare to drag innocent Xiling people into death with you.”

“What? Could you be just a little reasonable?” Ming Shu pointed at the Bai family and continued, “The first person who caused trouble was the Miss of the Bai family. How did it become me?”

Had it not been Bai Yanran who intended to get in close contact with the golden serpent using her beautiful buttocks? How could such not have alerted the golden serpent?

“What are you talking about! How is it possible that Yanran offended it. Don’t try to defend yourself by framing innocent people,” Lord Bai shouted back immediately.

Ming Shu picked her ear with her pinkie finger, smiling. “Calm down, why are you so excited! Did I blurt out the truth?”

“Nonsense!”

“Nonsense? Then why are you shouting? Did you take the wrong medicine?”

“You wronged my Yanran, why can’t I argue about the truth? Don’t you pull Yanran into the water!” Lord Bai continued his shouting, face red with agitation.

She is the one who has taken the wrong medicine!
