Chapter 10: The Kindness of Life

Ning Feiliu turned around, intending to take this mother to the medical clinic to buy medicinal herbs.

But he did not expect that Dugu Yan was right behind him at this moment, and he almost bumped straight into her.

However, he reacted in time and stepped back immediately, which prevented him from colliding directly with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan looked at him at this moment, appearing very curious.

"Miss Dugu, I apologize for the offense just now; please forgive me." Ning Feiliu remembered what he had done to Dugu Yan earlier and quickly said politely.

"You..." Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.

This man had suddenly walked out, not only unafraid of her but also helping her clear up rumors and hearsay.

And now he was even planning to help these two people before him, who were clearly impoverished commoners, treat their illness?

Judging by Ning Feiliu's attire and appearance, he definitely came from an extraordinary background.

A flash of sudden realization crossed Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes.

Yet Dugu Yan was still very curious as to why Ning Feiliu had helped her out of the predicament just now.

This had a lot to do with their Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Feiliu did not feel that such a corruption into darkness was a good thing.

Let alone showing kindness to impoverished commoners.

Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were indeed habitually... meddlesome and soft-hearted.

After all, Ning Fengzhi often meddled in such affairs and showed great mercy.

Even if it was for Dugu Yan herself.

It was just that he had seen Dugu Yan's tendency to turn dark, and this mother and her small child were truly pitiful.

Even if the child had caused the trouble, it was because he was sick and his mind was muddled.

Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, but soon introduced himself truthfully, "Ning Feiliu, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Please excuse my rudeness."

That was why he had seemingly righteously stepped forward just now to meddle in this affair.

But he had triggered a quest by meddling this one time, so this could also be considered an unexpected gain.

So Dugu Yan was very curious about Ning Feiliu now, but in the end, she asked first, "What is your name?"

If Dugu Yan were to truly turn dark at this point and angrily take a human life.

And people of extraordinary background in Heaven Dou City would mostly choose to protect themselves and not intervene in anything.

"So it's a fellow from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Then she would never be able to turn back, and from then on, she would no longer have any scruples about taking action, becoming a fiend like Dugu, whose actions were entirely determined by her own inner likes and dislikes.

He really did not want to have such deep contact with Dugu Yan so quickly right now.

"Alright, Miss Dugu." Ning Feiliu looked at the mother waiting anxiously for him behind him and said, "I will first take this... aunt to the medical clinic to buy the herbs, so I won't disturb you any further."

And it was not a crime punishable by death.

It was just that he really did not want to continue having deep contact with Dugu Yan right now.

"What a coincidence." Dugu Yan smiled brightly and chuckled, "I also happen to be coming to this medical clinic to get some herbs, so I will go with you."

Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, but he could not think of any reason to refuse for the time being.

After all, Dugu Yan had indeed been heading to this medical clinic from the start, so it was truly a coincidence that they were going the same way.

And he could also see that even if he went to another medical clinic, the current Dugu Yan would just follow him directly.

Dugu Yan was very curious about Ning Feiliu now.

"Alright then." A flash of helplessness crossed Ning Feiliu's eyes, and he then led the mother holding the child back into the medical clinic.

And Dugu Yan also chuckled and followed Ning Feiliu into the medical clinic.

"This customer... is there something else you would like to buy?"

The apprentice who had served Ning Feiliu earlier was quite enthusiastic to see him appear again.

After all, Ning Feiliu had spent quite a bit earlier, and the apprentice naturally had an impression of and was more enthusiastic toward a big spender.

Ning Feiliu stepped aside, and the raggedly dressed mother holding the child appeared before the apprentice.

The medical clinic apprentice frowned, but at this moment he saw Dugu Yan behind Ning Feiliu.

"Miss Dugu..."

A look of obvious humility immediately appeared in his eyes, and he ignored even Ning Feiliu, walking directly toward Dugu Yan.

"What would you like today, Miss Dugu?"

Clearly, Dugu Yan was also a regular at this medical clinic, and most importantly, her status and background were truly intimidating.

However, Dugu Yan glanced at him and said, "You don't need to worry about me for now; I am just following them, so help them first."

The medical clinic apprentice then looked back at Ning Feiliu, and now he appeared even more respectful toward Ning Feiliu, and even toward the raggedly dressed mother and child.

"May I ask, young master, are you here to have them treated?"

He hurriedly asked Ning Feiliu.

"No, I just need two taels of Fire Rooster Crest, one tael and two mace of Yang-Severing Grass, and one tael and two mace of Ice-Glitter Saltpeter."

Ning Feiliu said, "And then just give them to this aunt directly."

"Very well..." The apprentice was stunned for a moment, but still said, "It will be five Copper Soul Coins in total."

At this moment, the mother was stunned, and she said somewhat humbly, "But I only have three Copper Soul Coins..."

"Give them to me."

However, Ning Feiliu seemed to have anticipated this and said to the mother.

The mother hesitated for a moment, but still took out the only three Copper Soul Coins she had and handed them to Ning Feiliu.

After taking them, Ning Feiliu took out two more Copper Soul Coins from his pocket to make up the five, and then handed them to the medical clinic apprentice.

After the medical clinic apprentice received the money, he quickly wrapped up the herbs and handed them directly to the mother behind Ning Feiliu.

"When you go back, chop these medicinal herbs up. Each time, boil five qian of Fire Rooster Crest in three bowls of water until it reduces to one bowl, and take it twice a day. Soak two qian of Yang-Severing Grass and two qian of Ice Glauber Salt in water, and take it three times a day. You should be fully recovered after two days."

Ning Feiliu spoke earnestly to that mother once more.

This was also the method for processing these three medicinal herbs in the prescription.

The Fire Rooster Crest must be processed at high heat to make a medicinal decoction, while the Yang-Severing Grass and Ice Glauber Salt only require the dried herbs to be chopped up and then rubbed directly into pills using Honey Dew.

"Thank you... thank you! Young master!"

The mother's eyes welled up with tears instantly. After taking the medicinal herbs, she asked again, "Many thanks, young master. My son and I will remember your great kindness and virtue forever!"

Hearing these words, Ning Feiliu felt a sense of gratification in his heart.

But just at this moment...

【Received heartfelt gratitude from others.

This... another task has popped up?

And just like the previous task, it belongs to the type that requires accumulation, but the reward for this task is very powerful!

Automatically increasing intimacy with intelligent beings by ten percent, and it can even increase the probability of epiphany!
