The man in red sitting in the first seat shook his head and said calmly, "No need! If he has such ability, he must be either strong enough or have a powerful backer behind him. Others are more anxious than us now, so there is no need for us to get involved in this mess."
The red-clothed man paused after he finished speaking, and a hint of mockery lingered in his androgynous voice: "After today, this news will spread throughout the entire Jinling Kingdom. Now, even the Medical Association will probably be unable to sit still. This drama will definitely be very interesting. Yan An, who do you think will benefit in the end?"
Zhou Yanan didn't dare to respond, but his eyes flashed with the young man's profile as he focused on the treatment, and a trace of worry welled up in his heart.
He is a mortal with no cultivation! I hope he can escape from this storm unscathed.

One night later, a strange, handsome young man, in his mortal form, used a completely new and unprecedented method to heal a patient with severed meridians. The news spread to every corner of Yanjing City at the fastest speed.
Many people were asking about the whereabouts of the young genius doctor, especially the Nalan Mansion and other medical families who were more anxious and eager. Of course, these were all later stories. At this time, He Xi, the person involved in the whole incident, knew nothing about it.
He Xi didn't return to the villa until dark, still wearing Xi Yue's makeup.
Nanny Chen was shocked when she saw her. Although Hexi had changed into men's clothes before leaving and she also had a men's bun, she used Nalan Hexi's face.
But I didn't expect that after just one day of absence, when I came back, her skin had become so smooth and her face was so beautiful. This was still men's clothing, if she changed into women's clothing...
Seeing Nanny Chen was surprised, He Xi had to make up a lie to explain, "I met Shopkeeper Zhou from Shengde Hall outside today. He said that my sallow complexion was due to too many impurities and toxins accumulated in my body. Shopkeeper Zhou was kind and gave me a pill to cleanse my tendons and marrow. After I took it, I became like this now."
Nanny Chen was overjoyed. She touched He Xi's face and cried, "Yes! Yes! This must be the result of the cleansing of the tendons and marrow. Miss now looks very similar to Madam, no! Much more similar than before... There is no mistake, it must be because the disease was cured and her original appearance was restored. Manager Zhou of Shengde Hall is really a kind-hearted man. Miss, you must thank him in the future!"
He Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could only agree. After comforting Nanny Chen for a while, he said, "Mammy, have the ten slaves I bought returned yet?"
Nanny Chen came to her senses at once and said anxiously, "Miss, we don't even have food in our courtyard anymore, why did you buy slaves back? If the Nalan Mansion still doesn't give us monthly food allowance, how can we survive?"
When she saw the slaves suddenly coming to her house in the afternoon, Nanny Chen thought they were people seeking revenge and was so scared that she almost fainted. But when she heard that they were slaves bought by Hexi, she was shocked and speechless.
He Xi raised the corner of his mouth, took out some food and crystals from the storage ring, and smiled: "Madam, don't worry about the crystals. I have already taken back the due compensation from the servant who tried to sell me. From now on, we don't have to look at the face of the Nalan Mansion and wait for their help. Madam, go and call those ten people over first?"
Nanny Chen was both happy and worried, and she retreated with suspicion in her heart. Soon, the ten slaves named Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui came over to greet Hexi with respectful faces. (To be continued)
