A girl with bite marks on her legs, an injured servant with a long knife, and an abnormal tiger with no external injuries … Mengqi couldn't help laughing as soon as he asked. Wasn't it obvious?
Feng Yuanjing pretended to be calm. "Young Master, I did see him. I was forced by the Tiger Spirit and almost lost my life. It was thanks to this young man's help that I survived. However, he valued righteousness over wealth and didn't ask for anything in return. He's already gone in that direction."
When he heard the first half of Feng Yuanjing's words, he felt blood rush to his head and his forehead bulged. "She, she betrayed me? There really are no good people in this world! "
Fortunately, it wasn't the "evil spirit" who was in charge. He managed to control himself and listened to the whole conversation. He was suddenly enlightened, happy, and blamed himself.
It seemed that he had been bewitched by the "evil spirit" and became a little extreme. How could he have misunderstood such a kind-hearted girl? He really deserved a beating!
Mengqi was still smiling. "I see. I knew the Tiger Spirit's death looked a little familiar."
Feng Yuanjing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't directly denied seeing him.
"But, young lady, there's something I have to remind you of." Meng Qi became slightly serious.
Feng Yuanjing bowed and said, "Please tell me."
"The young man just now is simple and chivalrous, but you can't be careless. He suffers from the Soul-dissociating Syndrome and often kills people. He doesn't remember what happened afterward. If you meet him again, you must be careful." Mengqi reminded her.
Feng Yuanjing was shocked. Young Master Duan looked fine. How did he seem to suffer from the Soul-dissociating Syndrome? How did he look like a bloody evil spirit? Could it be that he coveted Young Master Duan's secret skill and deliberately made up this lie so that Young Master Duan wouldn't be able to survive no matter where he went?
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, causing her expression to change. Finally, she bit her lower lip. "Thank you for reminding me. But Young Master Duan has gone far away. Jianghu is so big. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to meet him again."
Mengqi smiled. "Indeed. The world is so big. Even if friends are separated, they may never meet again. Miss, it's difficult for you to walk, and your servant is seriously injured. If you stay in the wild, you may die. Why don't I send you to a nearby city? "
Feng Yuanjing's face suddenly turned pale. She didn't know what to do. If she agreed, he would definitely ask her to pack the things in the carriage. If she refused, it would be too unreasonable.
Her servant said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your kindness, but my master's people will be here soon."
Qi Zhengyan looked on expressionlessly from behind. He did not understand why Meng Qi was talking so much nonsense …
"I was too hasty," Meng Qi said politely. "Your family will be here soon. Could it be the Feng family from Changchuan?"
Feng Yuanjing answered hurriedly, "It's the Fengs from Changchuan. You don't have to worry."
"I heard that 'Nine-nos' Doctor Zhong Taiping lives in Changchuan and relies on the Feng family. Is that true?" This was Mengqi's purpose.
Ten years ago, Zhong Taiping was ranked 23rd on the Ranking List of Young Masters. He had been removed from the list due to his age. After many years, he was now a Half-step Exterior Scenery master. Compared to his Kung Fu, he was more famous for his medical skills. He was said to be able to cure anyone below the Exterior level and prolong life except for the dead.
Because he had set nine rules against treating people, he was called the Nine-nos Doctor. It was said that he had cured two cases of Soul-dissociating Syndrome.
Mengqi had seen the information in the secret report of the Six Fan School. What impressed him the most was one sentence: "If you're in a bad mood, don't treat people."
Feng Yuanjing smiled. "You're being too serious. With Doctor Zhong's skills and medical skills, why would he rely on the Feng family? We've been friends for generations and help each other. "
Changchuan was a famous city in River East. There were several Exterior masters and even more Half-step Exterior Scenery masters. The Feng family was one of the prominent families in Changchuan.
It wasn't far from Changchuan, and the Feng family wasn't a real aristocratic family. It was reasonable that Feng Yuanjing didn't bring any masters with her.
"I heard that Doctor Zhong has cured Soul-dissociating Syndrome before?" Mengqi asked with a smile.
Feng Yuanjing was slightly stunned. "Doctor Zhong did it when he was traveling around the world. He hasn't encountered Soul-dissociating Syndrome since he returned to Changchuan."
She thought of Duan Rui, who had been falsely accused of having Soul-dissociating Syndrome by the childe opposite her.
Duan Rui was overjoyed. It turned out that there was a doctor in Changchuan who could cure Soul-dissociating Syndrome. When "Killing Blade" Su Meng and the others were sent away, he would seek treatment from them!
Violent emotions suddenly flashed through his mind, but he managed to suppress them with Mengqi's deterrence.
"Alas, Little Duan is an honest man, but his Soul-dissociating Syndrome isn't good. I've been looking for him and wanted to take him to Doctor Zhong …" Mengqi said in an old-fashioned tone. He wanted Feng Yuanjing to be mentally prepared. If Zhong Taiping wasn't willing to treat him, he would have to ask her for help.
Feng Yuanjing looked at the young master in front of her and was speechless. He looked like he was 18 or 19 years old, at most in his early twenties. He wasn't much older than Childe Duan, but he called him Little Duan!
Mengqi walked past Feng Yuanjing with his hands behind his back and walked toward the carriage. "Little Duan, come out. Do you really think you can hide from me?"
Feng Yuanjing's expression changed drastically. He, he saw through it?
Duan Rui's heart almost stopped beating. "How is this possible? How is this possible …"
Mengqi walked slowly, full of confidence. Duan Rui's Devil Skill was indeed extraordinary in concealing his breath. It was difficult to detect him with Will-projecting alone. He might need to be in the realm of Oneness of Heaven and Men to be sure.
But he was also experienced in Jianghu. After seeing the tiger, he guessed that Duan Rui was nearby. So he casually chatted with Feng Yuanjing. Using the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth to sense her emotions, he was sure that she was lying. Duan Rui didn't go far. Instead, he mentioned the Soul-dissociating Syndrome and other things he was most concerned about. As expected, he sensed the sudden increase and "disappearance" of the heartbeat in the carriage.
With Duan Rui's current Jianghu experience and state, meeting him was like meeting old Duan Xiangfei for the first time. Moreover, he didn't have any trump cards to turn the tables.
Seeing that Mengqi was getting closer, Duan Rui couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped out of the carriage and threw a punch at Mengqi as if he was launching a sneak attack.
He had some experience and understood that running away at this time was equivalent to selling his vest to the enemy. Just like in an ordinary battle between bandits, most casualties occurred when they were fleeing for their lives.
"With Childe Duan's strength, he should be able to escape even if he can't win …" Feng Yuanjing's heart clenched. But when she thought of how Duan Rui killed the tiger spirit with one punch, she felt a little relieved.
Seeing Duan Rui's slightly hateful eyes, Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. Duan Rui had trusted him before. Could it be that his Soul-dissociating Syndrome had worsened?
After thinking for a while, he allowed Duan Rui to hit him.
The fist momentum was heavy, and when it hit Meng Qi, there was the sound of metal colliding.
He was glowing with a dark gold light and didn't move. The hidden sinister genuine Qi disappeared without a trace once it entered his body. Moreover, most of it couldn't pass the Golden Bell Shield.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mengqi stretched out his right hand. It seemed slow, but it blocked all of Duan Rui's movements. He grabbed his shoulder and secretly sent his genuine Qi to seal a few of his major acupoints.
Duan Rui's eyes suddenly became deep and almost black. He opened his mouth and spat at Mengqi. The spittle was dark and looked like a wriggling worm.
Mengqi was prepared. He leaned slightly to avoid the spittle and sent more genuine Qi to seal all of Duan Rui's acupoints. Then he lifted him up.
The spittle passed over Mengqi and landed on the ground, making a sizzling sound. In just a few breaths, the yellowing weeds nearby had all withered.
The fight was abnormally short from beginning to end. It only took one round. Feng Yuanjing blinked her eyes and saw Duan Rui being taken down by Mengqi.
Childe Duan, who killed the tiger spirit with one punch, didn't even have the strength to fight back. He couldn't even defend himself and was defeated and captured in one move!
The fight just now was like an adult bullying a child. The child punched Duan Rui like an itch, and then he was lifted up …
Feng Yuanjing wouldn't be surprised if the black-robed man was a Half-step Exterior Scenery. After all, there was a huge gap between their realms. But he didn't have the feeling of a Half-step Exterior Scenery at all!
Looking at Duan Rui who was staring at him, Mengqi laughed. "If I wanted to kill you, it would be a piece of cake. Don't think about running away. Come with me to see Doctor Zhong."
He had entered the seventh pass of the Golden Bell Shield. Except for the eighth pass, which focused on the spirit, he was almost at the end of the enlightenment period. Ordinary people couldn't even break his clothes, let alone hurt him!
The dim light in Duan Rui's eyes dissipated. Hearing the name of Doctor Zhong weakened his resistance.
"Miss Feng, you can ask Little Duan yourself if he has the Soul-dissociating Syndrome." Mengqi carried Duan Rui back to Feng Yuanjing.
Feng Yuanjing looked at Duan Rui with concern. "Childe Duan, do you really have the Soul-dissociating Syndrome?"
"Yes." Duan Rui couldn't speak and could only nod in affirmation.
Feng Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief. So the young man in front of her didn't look like a bad person?
However, even if he was a bad person, she couldn't stop him. If he really brought Childe Duan into Changchuan, she could ask the elders in her family for help so that he wouldn't harm Childe Duan and steal his script.
"Miss Feng, can you go to Changchuan with us now? I need you to introduce me to Doctor Zhong, "Meng Qi said with a smile.
If he could really cure the Soul-dissociating Syndrome and know the key to it, he might have a trump card against Gu Xiaosang in the future. For example, he could suddenly wake up Little Zi in the middle of a fight.
Feng Yuanjing calmed herself down and agreed. "Childe Duan saved my life. How can I refuse? But Doctor Zhong is an eccentric person. If he's in a bad mood, I'm afraid he won't listen to anyone. "
On the way to Changchuan, the servant said to Feng Yuanjing through Secret Voice-sending, "The black-robed man's skills are extremely terrifying. He's at least in the top 30 of the Ranking List of Young Masters. His companion's breath is also long and steady. He should also be on the Ranking List of Young Masters …"
"We actually met two masters on the Ranking List of Young Masters?" Feng Yuanjing began to guess their identities.
Soon after noon, they entered Changchuan City. Feng Yuanjing said goodbye and returned home. Mengqi put his hand on Duan Rui's shoulder and looked for an inn with Qi Zhengyan.
After walking for a while, the long street in front of them suddenly became crowded. People were moving around, as if they were watching something.
Mengqi suddenly became interested. He pulled someone over and asked, "Brother, what's going on up ahead?"
"'Cloud-rubbing Dragon' Fang Bai, ranked 42nd on the Ranking List of Young Masters, is challenging Yi Song, the young head of the Changchuan Escort Agency. He's the top master of the younger generation in Changchuan." The passersby answered excitedly. They kept poking their heads out to see the fight, but how could they see it in the sea of people?
"That's right. River East is River East. You can meet masters on the Ranking List of Young Masters or the Ranking List of Former Masters wherever you go." Mengqi said with a smile. Together with Qi Zhengyan, they moved through the crowd like swimming fish and arrived at the middle of the long street after several turns.
They saw a restaurant with many famous masters on the second floor. There were two people fighting at the door. One of them cupped his hands and said, "Brother Fang's Dragon Claw is outstanding. I'm not your match."
Fang Bai was in his early twenties and full of youthful vigor. He smiled and said, "Brother Yi, you're also extraordinary, but I'm full of fighting spirit. Who else wants to challenge me?"
There was a sudden silence. None of the young masters dared to challenge him, while the famous ones valued their reputation and didn't want to rush into the ring.
Seeing this, Qi Zhengyan tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
Mengqi could sense it clearly. He tilted his head and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Qi, do you want to challenge me?"
"Yes, I want to test my strength." Qi Zhengyan's expressionless face showed a rare hint of excitement.
He had been out for a few months and the Book of the Chaos could be classified as a fortuitous encounter.
To Mengqi, Fang Bai didn't have much value. He smiled and said, "If you want to fight, then fight. I'll cheer for you."
I will do a good job as a commentator with a bright future!
