Chapter 761: Divine Physician

Shi Zanxue smiled and took back the wine cup, also raising her neck and drinking it all.

She placed the cup down and sighed: "Young hero Pei said in the previous sentence, 'We have known each other for a long time', and as a result, after revealing your bottom line, it was immediately 'Today counts as our first acquaintance'. Young hero Pei, you are truly different from the past."

Pei Ye smiled.

"You have said this many times." he said.

"Because the young hero Pei I saw for the first time in Bowang was truly like a willow branch in spring, which makes one nostalgic."

Pei Ye said: "I understand this kind of talk of yours. On the surface it is praise, but in reality it is criticism. The purpose is to discipline. Beautiful women love to say it, I don't listen."

"……"

Pei Ye smiled: "Shi Gu Niang, speak quickly, what kind of frighteningly strong people are there."

"I won't say."

"Speak, speak."

Shi Zanxue said: "There are so many people in Tianshan, how can I explain it clearly in a moment. Young hero Pei is lonely and weak now, even if you know, it's of no use. Why not talk about young hero Pei's situation in the Divine Capital first, so we know where to start."

"If Shi Gu Niang doesn't talk about enemies, how can we plan where to start."

Shi Zanxue was silent for a while, raised her finger to dip in the wine in the cup, and wrote a "Ye" character on the table.

Then she wiped it away with her palm.

Pei Ye poured and drank a cup by himself, looking at the lake surface: "In the Divine Capital, I am not entirely lonely and weak. I am under the banner of Princess Jinyang, and the Immortal Platform also provides some protection."

"Young hero Pei is in the Divine Capital, naturally you cannot escape the palm of Master Li. As for Princess Jinyang, before we came from the Long region, we received her letter."

"Oh? What is written in the letter?"

"She introduced the situation in the Divine Capital to us. After hearing our intentions, she invited Tianshan to come and dance with the waves together, quite having the style of a great monarch." Shi Zanxue said, "Didn't Princess Jinyang tell you, young hero Pei?"

"I don't know about such a letter."

"Then young hero Pei can ask me from time to time."

Pei Ye smiled: "Many thanks."

Shi Zanxue lifted the wine pot. There was a little left, and she poured it for Pei Ye.

"Young hero Pei, what kind of person do you think Master Li is?" she said.

"A very powerful person."

Shi Zanxue raised her eyes and looked at him.

"That's it, a very powerful person." Pei Ye said, "Ninety percent of the information I have about the Heart of the Western Court comes from Master Li."

"Young hero Pei, what do you think his attitude is toward the Heart of the Western Court and Tianshan?"

"I am humble and have few opportunities to meet Master Li." Pei Ye said, "From what I have seen, Master Li is helping me control the Heart of the Western Court, and he has said nothing about Tianshan."

"He helped young hero Pei ignite the Heart of the Western Court." Shi Zanxue tapped the cup wall slowly.

"Correct."

"Master Li is in charge of the

Immortal Platform, sitting in the Divine Capital. Everyone who knows his name is in awe. However, very few people have seen his face." Shi Zanxue said, "We will also see him this time when we enter the capital. Young hero Pei, I don't know what your relationship with him is. Perhaps it is like accompanying a king like accompanying a tiger, but to control the Western Court, you cannot do without his attitude. If young hero Pei encounters any difficulties, you can contact Tianshan."

Pei Ye thought it was indeed a tiger, and nodded: "Then after Shi Gu Niang meets Master Li here, we will talk in detail."

Shi Zanxue took a sip of wine, and it was quiet at the table for a while.

"Young hero Pei, can you tell me what exactly is going on with the Heart of the Western Court? How can it connect to the authority of Heaven." She looked at the youth, "Tianshan has been chasing it for thousands of years, but what we know only comes from broken sentences and fragments."

Pei Ye shook his head: "I don't quite understand. Everything I know comes from Master Li. After Tianshan meets Master Li, we will talk in detail."

"Alright."

Pei Ye looked at her: "Shi Gu Niang hasn't told me yet, who is behind you?"

"Let's wait until we understand the situation in the Divine Capital more before telling young hero Pei."

Pei Ye thought for a while: "I heard that to ascend to the Western Court, to truly become the Master of the Western Court, it ultimately falls on the land of the Western Border. Tianshan must know about this? What is the process?"

Shi Zanxue smiled: "I don't quite understand this either, let's talk in detail another day."

Pei Ye smiled, lowered his head and picked up the cup on the table, and raised it to the woman.

Shi Zanxue clinked it with a "clink", and both raised their necks and drank it all.

The pool breeze brushed their faces, the spring day was lazy, Pei Ye stretched a high stretch, stood up and pulled open the gauze curtain, letting the bright green sun spill in.

Leaning on the railing, he said: "Shi Gu Niang, many thanks for the hospitality, this is the best wine I have ever drunk. I have never liked drinking before."

"Young hero Pei has grown up, it's nothing to drink some wine."

Pei Ye smiled: "What does that have to do with it."

"Before young hero Pei leaves, say a word, and I will get you two more pots. One pot for you to drink yourself, one pot to offer to Princess Jinyang."

"Then many thanks." Pei Ye turned around, his voice lower, "Shi Gu Niang, it's been a long time. Seeing you here actually makes me feel quite close. For half a year, it has been hard to see old friends from the Northwest in the Divine Capital."

"When will young hero Pei go back to take a look?"

"This is hard to say for now, perhaps this year, perhaps in another two years." Pei Ye said, "I am not unable to return to the Northwest now, it's just not very convenient to leave the Divine Capital."

"Bearing a divine artifact is also a cage."

"Yes."

"However, besides me, young hero Pei should have other old friends from the Northwest you want to see more."

"……"

Shi Zanxue looked at him: "Piaoqing doesn't want to disturb young hero Pei. You have been back in the capital for so many days, why haven't you come to find Piaoqing?"

Pei Ye was silent for a while: "I'm afraid Shi Gu Niang will laugh at me…… I am timid in my heart."

"Then we can't just never see each other again."

"Hmm…… where is she?"

"I don't know either, but she is always in the garden. I won't keep young hero Pei any longer." Shi Zanxue gave a slight smile, "Being able to talk heart-to-heart today is very comforting. In the future, the mountains are high and the roads are long, let's try to walk together."

"Correct, try to walk together." Pei Ye cupped his fists slightly, "Then farewell."

"See you again."

Pei Ye carried his sword and left the pavilion, walked out of the gauze curtain, the door "creaked" open and closed again, and only the wind and spring light remained in the water pavilion.

Shi Zanxue sat for a while, turned her head, and a heroic and beautiful woman was standing quietly by the railing.

She carried her sword on her back, her brows and eyes were cold, her posture was like a pine, and she looked down at Shi Zanxue.

"Ji Ji Shijie Ji."

"What did he say?"

"Young hero Pei is willing to pursue the old traces of the Queen Mother and ascend to the position of the Western Court."

Ji Jiuying said faintly like ice: "Who wouldn't be willing?"

Shi Zanxue stood up from the table, gathered the pot and cups, and took water to rinse them: "There are many who are willing to be the master of Tianshan, but there are only a few people in the world who can ascend to that position."

"Do you believe he is?"

"Ji Ji Shijie Ji, you carry the name 【Shuangcheng】, what kind of master do you expect in your heart? Is it very different from young hero Pei?"

Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes: "I don't expect any master."

"Then Ji Ji Shijie shouldn't have accepted the name 【Shuangcheng】 back then."

"Some withered texts and rotten traces, only Junior Sister Shi regards them as the golden rule."

"Ji Ji Shijie Ji, we were both granted the name Seven Jades together back then. At that time, we went to the pavilion in the middle of the night to flip through the affairs of the Queen Mother and Wang Mu, and talked until our mouths were dry under the candles, not sleeping all night." Shi Zanxue smiled and said in a low voice, "Although it was five or six years ago, Ji Ji Shijie surely won't forget."

Ji Jiuying did not speak. She stared at this junior sister whose appearance was one of the best: "I really don't remember things from five or six years ago. I only hope that five or six years later, we can still talk under the candles, and no one will become rotten meat and white bones."

"Since the Western Court has appeared, stopping and shrinking one's hands, how is it different from rotten meat and white bones." Shi Zanxue gathered her smile and looked at Ji Jiuying earnestly, "Ji Ji Shijie Ji, I will tell the truth. Of all those who picked the name Seven Jades, there is no one who does not hope for the majestic figure of the Western Court Master, even if it is not in Ji Ji Shijie Ji's mouth, it must be in Ji Ji Shijie Ji's dreams."

"……"

"It's just that in Ji Ji Shijie Ji's heart, that figure has always descended from the sky out of thin air, like an immortal, like a god, perfect and flawless. You just can't accept that it actually came from the ground like us, from a youth who is not much stronger than yourself."

Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes: "That is exactly what I want to say. Does he have any ability other than using a sword?"

"Ability

is not written on a person's face, and youths will also grow up." Shi Zanxue said, "Didn't young hero Pei do very well in the Yun Lang Kongdong affair today?"

Ji Jiuying did not refute, but turned her head to look at the pool water.

"When he stood up, it at least surprised me very much." Shi Zanxue said in a low voice, "A group of mediocrities are not convinced that the Heart of the Western Court fell into the hands of an outsider, and still think that if it stays in Tianshan, they will have a chance…… one by one, who dares to go down to the pool in front of Wen Suoqu?

"Young hero Pei may still be immature, but his vision and strategy can grow, while those who are timid and slick in their hearts are not worthy of being monarchs from the root." Shi Zanxue sighed lightly, "Ji Ji Shijie Ji, my vision is not lower than yours, and I am also waiting for a truly talented and strategic master to drive me."

Ji Jiuying was silent for a while: "If you don't take the Feather Scale Trial, then ascend to the Mystic Gate earlier."

Shi Zanxue gave a slight smile: "Thank you for your concern, Ji Ji Shijie, I will find a day this month."

……

……

He Yaoyao sat in the pavilion and flipped through her small sword book.

She had found the answer to the sword theory that Pei Ye had chatted with her about halfway on the seat just now, but Pei Ye still hadn't returned, so she became restless.

At this time, she thought that Shi Gu Niang also didn't say how long she would take Pei Ye inside. A quarter of an hour had already passed. If it were half an hour, an hour, or even until nightfall, what should she do?

She couldn't help but look around, always feeling that this pavilion was leaking wind on all sides and was too conspicuous. Sitting here alone, she was worried that someone would see her and come up to talk.

As soon as she thought of that scene, she couldn't help but hiss lightly.

But she couldn't go in to find them. Since Shi Gu Niang let her stay outside, they must be saying things that only two people could hear and doing things that only two people participated in. If she went in and heard or saw, it might be a big embarrassment—she had plenty of painful memories about this kind of thing.

After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to lower her head and not look at the surroundings at all, pretending to be obsessed. In this way, even if someone saw her, they probably wouldn't come to disturb her, right? You must know, sometimes eye contact is the beginning of a terrible conversation……

"Hello, He Yaoyao, sorry to bother you." A cold voice sounded above her head.

He Yaoyao raised her head and looked at the gray-clothed girl who walked without sound in shock.

She stood by the table, looking down at her.

"……He, hello."

"I am Qu Xin from Taishan Medicine Hut."

"……Hello."

"What are you doing sitting here?"

"……Sorry, I'll leave immediately."

"I didn't tell you to leave."

"Oh."

"He Yaoyao, are you sick?"

"……Sorry."

"I didn't scold you."

"Oh."

"I'm asking you, are you sick?"

"I…… am I?"

Qu Xin took out a small pen and a small book: "I noticed you early this morning, are you afraid to talk to people?"

"……"

She is so powerful, and so ruthless, He Yaoyao thought blankly.

"I noticed three years ago that there are such people who won't talk to people, have difficulty communicating normally with people, very rare, but show unified characteristics."

"We…… are just relatively introverted……"

"No. Introverted people are unwilling or not good at communicating with strangers, but it's not that they can't. You seem to lack this ability."

He Yaoyao was dazed for a moment: "Is that so?"

"Hmm, do you only play the role of a person who can talk by reciting?"

He Yaoyao looked at her in shock.

"It seems so." Qu Xin lowered her eyes and wrote in the book, "You don't have to worry too much. I think this is a natural minor illness of the mind and spirit, and it doesn't affect much in daily life. Once I develop a treatment system for the Mind-Spirit Realm, I can investigate it clearly and then cure it."

He Yaoyao thought for a while and didn't know how to answer, so she had to say blankly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, then you count as my patient now." Qu Xin looked at her and signaled, "I have already written you in the book."

He Yaoyao actually didn't really want to, but she had already written her in the book, so she had nothing to say, so she nodded.

Qu Xin closed the book with satisfaction: "This consultation is free."

These words really made He Yaoyao's eyes light up: "That's great."

"Then we are very close friends." Qu Xin concluded, "Now I ask you, where did Pei Ye go?"

"……"

"Where did Pei Ye go?"

He Yaoyao pondered for a while: "Divine Physician Qu, are you good friends with young hero Pei? If not, I cannot tell you his whereabouts."

Qu Xin nodded: "Of course we are."

He Yaoyao frowned, but shook her head: "No. You made friends with me to ask about young hero Pei's whereabouts. This is using friendship to pry for information; if you were good friends with young hero Pei, you wouldn't need to make friends with me, I would tell you too."

Qu Xin was silent for a while and corrected: "We are already good friends, you shouldn't doubt me."

He Yaoyao was also silent for a while and said: "Divine Physician Qu, I think…… you seem to have the same illness as me."

Qu Xin looked down at He Yaoyao, and He Yaoyao looked up at Qu Xin.

Pei Ye walked out of the water pavilion at this time.

He came to the pavilion with some surprise.

"Young hero Pei, I found

someone secretly asking about your whereabouts." He Yaoyao said with courage, "It's her, she even claims to be your good friend."

Pei Ye was stunned and smiled: "This is Qu Xin, the 【Little Medicine Lord】 from Taishan Medicine Hut, she is indeed my good friend."

Since they parted at the Zhu Jingdian last time, Pei Ye hadn't seen this young girl for a long time. When he was in the palace, she treated his wounds several times and even gave him a puppet worth more than twenty taels. Pei Ye's evaluation of this young girl had risen greatly in his heart now.

"What are you doing here today—you don't really practice the sword either." Pei Ye smiled.

"Doing some business." Qu Xin answered vaguely, turned her gaze, raised her chin and glanced at He Yaoyao in front of the table, "Believe it now, you are sick, you can't distinguish between sincerity and falsehood at all."

He Yaoyao lowered her head sadly. She was a bit unconvinced, but she really didn't know how to refute at this time.

Pei Ye stared: "What nonsense are you talking about, what illness does true disciple He have?"

"Are you the physician or am I the physician."

"……You are." Pei Ye had never doubted her medical skills, and remembered at this time, "What are you doing here? Looking for me?"

Qu Xin paused and said earnestly: "Pei Ye, I am here to do a good deed."
