Chapter 128: Does Xianzhou always comfort people like this? So hardcore!

The medicine has already been delivered; go report the situation to Dan Shu.

Back at Ruomu Pavilion, Dan Shu heard the footsteps and asked, "How is it? Has the medicine been delivered?"

"Hmm." Star nodded and reported everything that had happened one by one.

"She reminds me of my younger self. When I was a child, she, like me, groped in the darkness, having to face obstacles that could appear at any moment, as well as people's unconscious malice."

"Being bullied or injured, I could only cry and beg the physicians of Dan Ding Si to treat my wounds. Time after time, I myself also walked this path."

"Thank you for protecting that child. Star, may I ask you for another favor?" Dan Shu asked gently.

"Are you worried about that child's condition?" Star guessed easily.

"Yes. I'm worried about her being alone, and I want to hear her recent thoughts," Dan Shu sighed, "The child's parents died in the Bountiful People War… the relatives who took her in are not very close to her. When I treat her, I often become the one she confides in."

"A healer can prescribe medicine to protect a person's body, but sometimes the loneliness and wounds in the heart can only be healed slowly by companionship and care."

Teyvat continent, Liyue.

"Mr. Bai, is Miss Dan Shu really a member of the Medicine King Secret Transmission?"

Inside Bu Bu Lu, Xingqiu began to doubt his earlier judgment. From the group that assisted Star, the Purple Moon Season, he was firmly convinced that the Medicine King Secret Transmission was an evil organization. But seeing Miss Dan Shu's approachable, charitable demeanor… he hesitated for a moment.

His medical skill is superb, but this strength and gentleness are even more precious.

Purple Moon Season, Green Hibiscus… Xingqiu really finds it hard to link Dan Shu with these two great intellects. At first he thought Dan Shu's gentleness was just a façade, perhaps she was ruthless behind the scenes, but now it seems…

"Hmm, I still stick to my view… Miss Dan Shu is not only a member of the Medicine King Secret Transmission, but also a key figure in the organization."

Bai Zhu withdrew the smile at the corner of his mouth, putting on a more serious expression: "Young Master Xingqiu, actually I have not never doubted my judgment, but after I saw that naturally blind little girl, I became even more certain of Miss Dan Shu's identity."

"Oh? Mr. Bai, why is that?" Xingqiu became curious at once.

"A healer's benevolent heart… As a physician myself, I can deeply understand Miss Dan Shu's feeling of wanting to cure those with a heavenly deficiency but being powerless."

Bai Zhu calmly shook his head: "With Xianzhou technology and medicine so advanced, yet Miss Dan Shu remains blind, this shows that Xianzhou lacks a technique to cure the 'Heavenly Defect'; no, to put it another way… humanity has no way to cure the heavenly deficiency."

"Some people, the more superb their medical skill, the more they are drawn to miraculous therapies. Perhaps after witnessing the great power of Bountiful, Miss Dan Shu decided to take this path," Bai Zhu sighed.

"Miraculous therapies…?" Xingqiu scratched his head, not understanding.

Instead, the little white snake coiled around Bai Zhu's neck let out a "pfft" laugh.

"Ear‑Snake Drag‑Dragon Method"—this secret technique involves its contract with Bai Zhu, so it cannot easily explain it to Xingqiu. As a secret art that can transfer life force, Bai Zhu, because of this contract, continuously eradicates countless poisons and diseases, allowing himself to reach an immortal state.

Fortunately, this fellow was not born on Xianzhou; otherwise, he would probably have joined the Medicine King Secret Transmission long ago, right?

"According to Dan Shu, that little girl usually sits in a corner of the Gong Zao Si, but the Gong Zao Si is not peaceful now; she, a child who cannot see, cannot be left to wander around."

"Dan Shu's tone was very urgent, revealing her deep worry for that little girl."

"Gong Zao Si… Star felt a little relieved; Mr. Walter was there clearing monsters, though it's unclear how the clearing went."

Dan Shu knew the places the little girl often visited, so they quickly found her inside the bureau, but unfortunately the girl was surrounded by two mechanical monsters in a corner.

"What's wrong? Did that child encounter danger?" Dan Shu, hearing the commotion, hurriedly asked.

"Minor issue."

Star calmly drew a staff and, in a few swings, turned the monsters into fragments scattered on the ground.

Hearing the battle end, Dan Shu quickly knelt down, patted the girl's head, and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay~ Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu wiped her tears, still trembling, "Wuwuw… thank you, big sister, thank you, Miss Dan Shu…"

"But I…" Xiao Yu choked sadly, "Thinking that I caused Miss Dan Shu… big sister so much trouble, burdening both of you, makes me feel very ashamed…"

"Is that all? Then… you should first learn to get used to it," Dan Shu's tone was sorrowful yet cold: "Because in the coming hundreds of years, people like us who cannot see will continue to burden everyone we encounter."

"If this tiny guilt alone makes you sad, then you shouldn't take another step on this long road."

What a hardcore consolation; is it really appropriate to say such words to such a little girl?

Qian Yu Yuzhen was a bit surprised; usually seeing this Sister Dan so gentle, hearing her say such blunt and harsh words to a child, he was not yet accustomed.

"This is not comfort… this is reality," Yuecheng Liu said softly: "The more unfortunate a person is, the more they need a resilient mindset… perhaps Miss Dan Shu wants this little girl to accept everything as soon as possible."

"Why does the deputy section chief look so experienced?"

"No, I just greatly admire Miss Dan Shu."

Yuecheng Liu pushed up his half‑rim glasses and sighed, "Living in darkness for hundreds of years, not only hasn't the darkness crushed you, but you've become a light that can illuminate others—truly remarkable…"

"Deputy section chief, you don't have to only praise others; aren't you now also the light in the eyes of those hollowed‑by‑disaster victims?"

"Yuzhen, why suddenly…"

It was rare for him to say something decent besides asking for leave, which pleased Yuecheng Liu greatly; his previously clouded mood gradually cleared.

"I'm speaking honestly, deputy section chief; your kindness is well known in the Kongliù Section fan group…" Qian Yu Yuzhen said, while

She handed over a leave request with both hands, her pitiful expression: "So, such a kind deputy section chief mustn't be able to refuse me, right?"
