Chapter 1273: Saving You Requires No Reason

After his words fell, his gaze turned to Li Yue, the corners of his mouth curling up as he smiled slightly.

"Truly unexpected. With injuries so severe, you still managed to survive. Your life is truly tenacious," the old man said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Yue raised both hands and performed a solemn bow, saying to express his gratitude: "Old sir, thank you for saving my life. Had you not intervened, I would likely be dead by now."

Hearing Li Yue speak thus, the old man waved his hand and said: No need for courtesy; it was merely a trivial effort. ~ Then he turned his head, glanced at Ireland. Bass, and asked: Did you give this boy his medicine?

"I have already given it to him," Ireland. Bass said.

"Hmm, I see." The old man nodded.

Then he turned his gaze to Li Yue beside him and asked curiously: "Judging by your appearance, is there something else on your mind?"

Li Yue nodded his head heavily and said: "Old sir, it is like this. May I ask what you used to treat my injuries? I wish to know."

After hearing these words, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face. Looking at Li Yue, he said: What? Is there a problem? Do you think there is something wrong with the medicine I gave you?

"No, no, no," Li Yue hurriedly shook his head. "Old sir, you misunderstood. As you must have seen, my injuries are far from ordinary. Ordinary treatment methods have no effect whatsoever."

"I simply wish to know how your medicine could be so miraculous."

"Nothing special; it is just a combination of ordinary medicinal herbs. There is nothing miraculous about it," the old man said indifferently.

"Oh." Li Yue nodded and said: "I see. Since the old sir is unwilling to say, then let it be. I was just very surprised; I did not expect the old sir's medical skills to be so outstanding."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head and said: "There is no question of outstanding or not; I am simply accustomed to gathering herbs."

Having said this, the old man paused, then spoke: "When I saw you just now, I noticed your steps were unsteady, clearly your injuries have not yet healed. If there is nothing urgent, try to get out of bed less!"

"Very well, thank you for the reminder, old sir."

Having said this much, Li Yue looked at the other and asked: "By the way, old sir, I wish to ask, why did you save me?"

The reason he asked thus was clear.

One thing Li Yue was very certain of: he and this person had never met before. Yet the other had intervened without hesitation to save him. This proved that this person was absolutely not as simple as he appeared; there must be other reasons involved.

"Hehe, why did I save you? Does saving a person require a reason?" The old man laughed and said.

"Hehe, indeed. Saving a person requires absolutely no reason at all." Hearing the old man's reply, Li Yue could not help but laugh. Looking at the other, he continued: "Old sir, may I ask you about something?"

"What matter?" The old man looked at Li Yue and asked.

"I wish to know if there are any Lords or a Lord Alliance nearby?"

Hearing Li Yue's inquiry, the old man fell silent for a moment.

"Why do you ask these things? Is there something wrong?" the old man inquired.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately replied: "Nothing is wrong; I simply need some help and must find people."

"I see." The old man nodded and said: "There are no Lords nearby, nor any Lord Alliance. If you wish to find one, you must head east, about a hundred li or so; there is a Lord there. However, now that the war between the Demon Clan and the Lords is so fierce, if you go, you might not even keep your life."

Hearing these words, Li Yue frowned.

"How so? Are the Lords not fighting for the Saint Na Continent? Should they not be protecting all the people?"

Li Yue asked.

"Haha."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the old man could not help but burst into loud laughter. "Protecting all the people? That was only in the past. Do you not know the current situation?"

"The Demon Clan is attacking in force; almost every Lord is in a state of fear for their own safety. Even so, can you expect them to protect you!? But speaking of which, who exactly are you? Why do you inquire about such matters?"
