Chapter 354: Terrifying Yao Lao!

A moment later, Jiang Feng quietly leaned against the head of the bed, the Decoction inside his body was still slowly taking effect, and he had to use this time to think about what to do next.

His Meridians are damaged now, and his dantian cannot even summon a single thread of true Qi.

Now he is just an ordinary person with no strength at all, and must recover his injuries as soon as possible.

Not long after, two clear voices could be heard from Outside.

"Little Xi Er, you brat, why are you so troublesome? Haven't I already examined that kid's injury and made him wake up?"

"Why do you insist on dragging me over to see him? I'm still brewing Elixir in my furnace!"

The speaker must be Yao Lao; at this moment his voice was full of helplessness.

In addition, there was an unmistakable hint of disgust, clearly very displeased about Xi Er dragging him to see Jiang Feng.

Immediately after came Xi Er's cooing voice, soft and sweet.

"Yao Lao~ I just want Jiang Feng to thank you in person! You are our Taoyuan Village's First Divine Doctor; in the whole village, who doesn't know your superb medical skill? If you hadn't stepped in to save him, Jiang Feng might truly have been beyond rescue! Please don't be angry; just consider it a favor for me, okay?"

Hearing Xi Er's words, Yao Lao snorted disdainfully.

"Can't die? That kid's life is tough, not so easy to die. Xi Er, I warn you, don't trust him just because he looks handsome."

"Young men who look good are the best at sweet‑talking and deceiving; your mind is simple, you haven't seen the world outside, so don't be fooled by him—by the time you regret it, it'll be too late!"

The words hit his ears, and Jiang Feng's heart suddenly lurched.

This Yao Lao was far from ordinary! He seemed to be warning Xi Er, but in fact was blatantly warning himself.

Soon, the room door was gently pushed open.

Xi Er entered first, her face wearing a radiant smile.

Behind her followed an elderly man with graying hair.

The elder was thin but upright, not hunched like a typical countryside old man, his eyes sharp—he was Yao Lao.

Yao Lao entered the room, his gaze landing directly on Jiang Feng, scanning him from head to toe.

Seeing Jiang Feng actually sit up, he showed no surprise, but rather a hint of impatience.

As Jiang Feng rose, he immediately sneered.

"You kid actually can endure; with such severe injuries, you still managed to wake up?"

"Your life is truly tough, tougher than the stones in the mountain."

Jiang Feng, seeing this, dared not be sluggish, struggled to sit upright, and solemnly clasped his fists in respect to Yao Lao.

"Thank you, Yao Lao, for stepping in to save me, for rescuing my life; this life‑saving grace, Jiang Feng will never forget, endless gratitude!"

Yao Lao, however, waved his hand impatiently, a hint of contempt on his face.

"Enough, these insincere polite words need not be said any longer; Old brother finds them annoying. That naive Xi Er is easy to be deceived; Old brother is not foolish—having lived this long, I've seen every kind of person."

He stared at Jiang Feng, his gaze turning serious.

"The matters concerning you, Old brother doesn't wish to know, nor bother to ask. But I'll put it plainly: whatever happens to you in the future, whatever trouble you cause, do not involve Old brother, and certainly do not involve Taoyuan Village."

Nearby, Xi Er heard Yao Lao say that and instantly became displeased.

She pouted, grabbed Yao Lao's arm, gently shaking it repeatedly, cooing.

"Yao Lao, how can you speak of Jiang Feng like that? He truly thanks you from the heart; please don't be so fierce, okay? He's so badly injured, can't you…"

Yao Lao, tangled by Xi Er, had no choice; a helpless expression appeared on his face, and he glared at Xi Er with a hint of irritation.

"One bite, one person—are you really familiar with them? You've known them less than a day, yet you already speak on their behalf?"

At this point, he wore an expression of indifference.

"What are you still doing here? Don't be a hindrance, don't delay my treating him; get out quickly! Do what you need to do, and stop causing trouble here."

Xi Er stuck out her tongue, winked mischievously at Jiang Feng, then said cheerfully.

"Then Yao Lao, please treat Jiang Feng properly; I'm heading out now. If you need anything, call me anytime; I'm just Outside!"

Having said that, Xi Er turned and ran out of the room, gently closing the door.

Inside the room, only Jiang Feng and Yao Lao remained.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

Yao Lao's impatience vanished completely, his expression becoming exceedingly solemn.

His gaze, sharp as a blade, stared straight at Jiang Feng, as if to see through him entirely.

After a moment, a cold smile curled at Yao Lao's mouth corner.

"A master of the Heavenly Human Realm, and you fell from a mountain with such severe injuries? Kid... your skill at lying is not very clever."

Boom!

These words thundered like a sudden lightning in Jiang Feng's mind, exploding and leaving him frozen on the spot. Jiang Feng's pupils snapped shut instantly.

He could not possibly believe that this seemingly ordinary countryside doctor had instantly seen through his true cultivation!

Most crucially, at this moment his body contained not a trace of true Qi.

Yet Yao Lao could discern that with a single glance.

That proves Yao Lao is at least a cultivator, and his strength even surpasses the Heavenly Human Realm!

He could now be certain that Yao Lao is definitely not an ordinary countryside doctor; his identity must conceal a huge secret.

Suppressing his shock, he hurriedly spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of apology, trying to explain.

"Senior, please forgive me; I didn't intend to conceal anything, it's just…"

Before Jiang Feng could finish, Yao Lao waved his hand directly, a look of indifference on his face.

"I don't wish to ask what grudges you hold, nor care who you've offended; those matters have nothing to do with Old brother, and Old brother is too lazy to meddle."

Yao Lao looked at Jiang Feng, his tone calm.

"Since Xi Er has come to me, and considering her Kindness, I will treat you. I have only one condition: once you recover, leave this place, and under no circumstances repay kindness with hatred, dragging Xi Er into trouble!"

Hearing this, Jiang Feng finally understood why Yao Lao was so guarded toward him.

I suppose they also guessed that his Injury couldn't have come about simply, and perhaps even guessed Jun Wuji's existence.

So he is also willing to help Jiang Feng conceal his identity.

"Yao Lao, rest assured, I will never implicate Miss Xi Er."

As soon as those words were spoken, Yao Lao seemed to relax his guard a little, and then said lightly.

"Your true Qi was directly snatched away by a powerful force… As for exactly what force it was, I think you know better than I do."

Speaking that, Yao Lao glanced at Jiang Feng, with a look that said you understand.

Jiang Feng instantly understood, gritting his teeth, said.

"Thank you, Yao Lao, the junior now knows!"

Kun Long!

You, this guy, truly lack Morality!
