Chapter 43: The Reason for Everything

If Ning Feiliu cultivates for a year or two, it will definitely be no problem for his soul power to surpass Dugu Yan's.

However... the time required for this is a bit too long.

He does not want to wait, and he cannot wait any longer.

He had already thoroughly researched the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison and intended to complete the mission at this time to obtain a way to defy the heavens and change his fate.

Now, Ning Feiliu does not want to wait any longer at all.

"I don't think that's the reason either," Ning Feiliu shook his head and said, "So I need your help next; it's very simple: you help me mend my relationship with Sister Yan, and I will teach you medical skills."

Suddenly, he felt that his own explanation was very strange.

Why does it feel... like the sense of déjà vu from men in his past life bribing their girlfriend's best friend to act as a wingman...

At this moment, a flash of curiosity crossed Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes as she asked, "So... do you like classmate Dugu?"

Like her?

Ning Feiliu thought about it, but it seemed he did not have that kind of feeling.

While they were talking, they had already returned to Heaven Dou City, but after returning to Heaven Dou City, he had not yet led the way.

As for other people's hobbies, as long as it has nothing to do with him, he will not pay any attention to them at all.

"Perhaps I just don't want to lose a friend," Ning Feiliu said softly, "She is my only friend."

"Your only friend?" Ye Lingling looked at him and said, "Then you are probably classmate Dugu's only friend as well..."

Ye Lingling acted as if she knew the location of the medical clinic and walked ahead directly.

He truly wanted to help Dugu Yan resolve the toxins in her and her grandfather's bodies.

It is just that he is a bit unclear why, whether seeing her in person now or in the original plot, Ye Lingling has that cold, aloof appearance of wearing black clothes and a black veil, keeping strangers at a distance.

This made Ning Feiliu feel a bit stunned.

However, he did not ask too much and returned to the medical clinic with Ye Lingling.

"... I can tell," Ning Feiliu said, looking at Ye Lingling's black clothes and black veil attire.

It is just that social anxiety is the fear of coming into contact with outsiders and many people, while Ye Lingling is simply unwilling to come into contact with outsiders and many people, but it is not out of fear.

Perhaps before, Ning Feiliu still had the thought of purely using Dugu Yan as a tool to get close to Dugu Bo, but now...

It is just that Ning Feiliu really does not want to ask too much about such things.

Ye Lingling frowned; she is not the type of personality willing to interact with outsiders, to put it bluntly, she is a bit like someone with social anxiety.

"Mm," Ye Lingling also has a cold personality, and then she stopped talking.

Even if that mission were to fail now, Ning Feiliu would still help Dugu Yan resolve the toxins in her and Dugu Bo's bodies without hesitation.

"That's not it, we are just classmates," Ye Lingling said indifferently, "I don't have any friends either."

"Whatever I ask you to do later, like receiving patients, you must do it, and then record their symptoms first," Ning Feiliu said directly to Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan has always acted just like those brothers of his in his past life, so it seems he has always regarded Dugu Yan as... uh... a buddy?

Moreover, Dugu Yan was the first friend he took the initiative to get to know after coming to this unfamiliar world.

This is the life experience Ning Feiliu summarized from his twenty years of life in his past life.

"What about you?" Ning Feiliu looked at her and asked, "Aren't you her friend?"

But she thought of Ning Feiliu's medical skills and had to agree, "Mm."

Then, as the opening time for Ning Feiliu's medical clinic arrived, those ordinary patients who were familiar with the clinic's opening hours came one after another to seek treatment.

Now, Ning Feiliu's reputation has been completely established.

His medical skills are superb, and his fees are not high.

Such a medical clinic is naturally attractive.

At this time, it is not just the commoners within Heaven Dou City who come to see a doctor, but even the villagers outside Heaven Dou City specifically run here for treatment.

"Lingling, go receive the patients, let the patients state their symptoms themselves first, you record them with paper and pen, and give them to me later," Ning Feiliu said to Ye Lingling.

This also saves him a lot of trouble and time.

Ye Lingling nodded and sat directly in front of the medical clinic, starting to act as the "outpatient clinic."

When the patients saw Ning Feiliu telling them to go to Ye Lingling's side and line up one by one, they had no objections.

And facing the numerous patients, Ye Lingling was clearly a bit unaccustomed to it.

Ning Feiliu did not care about Ye Lingling's discomfort and had no intention of being chivalrous.

The main point is to freeload on free labor, so he squeezed her hard.

Ye Lingling did not have any spoiled young lady temperament; although she was unaccustomed to it at first, she still tried her best to complete the work Ning Feiliu gave her.

The next few days were the same, and Ning Feiliu did not just let Ye Lingling be free labor.

He also taught her some things, such as letting Ye Lingling read some medical theory books.

And when dealing with special patients with poisoning or infections, Ning Feiliu would specifically teach Ye Lingling how to prescribe medicine.

He taught Ye Lingling everything he could, without reservation, regarding the traditional prescriptions of the Douluo Continent and the medicinal formulas he extracted himself.

Therefore, Ye Lingling was not dissatisfied and began to follow Ning Feiliu's instructions, trying her best to get close to Dugu Yan while at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy during the day.

It is just that... according to her, Dugu Yan seems to have become even more withdrawn in personality now.

And she acts as if she is wary of something, not letting others touch her easily.

Hearing this news, Ning Feiliu frowned; the Dugu Yan of the past would not be so withdrawn...

But just then, Ye Lingling's cold eyes looked at him and she said, "Classmate Dugu is now like someone who has an infectious disease and doesn't want to pass it on to others."

"Infectious disease?" Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, but he soon thought of something.

"Could it be..." he exhaled and said, "Sister Yan thinks the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in her body will harm others?"

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the events of the night he was drunk.

In a flash of inspiration, Ning Feiliu finally understood.

He took out the *Bilin Snake Poison Experimental Notes* and said, "Could it be that Sister Yan saw the contents of the notes that night?"

"What notes?" Ye Lingling looked at the notes in his hand and asked curiously.

"I..." Ning Feiliu said directly, "It is the experimental notes I made on the toxins in Sister Yan's body."

"Why are you researching this?" Ye Lingling asked, puzzled.

"To save her." Ning Feiliu slowly spat out these two words, shook his head, and said.

"The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison that Sister Yan inherited from Senior Poison Douluo has a terrifying backlash effect."

"When the toxins completely backlash, Sister Yan's life will be in danger, so I want to save her and have been researching the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison all this time."

"The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison can actually backlash against a Jade Phosphor Snake Martial Soul Spirit Master?!" Hearing this news, Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
