The action of the junior master's uncle obviously attracted the attention of the master in front of him. Dai Youzong raised his head and looked over, asking in confusion: "Wang'er?"
The junior master walked towards them. Not only Xueli, but also the senior brother and Ajin were all stunned for a moment, as if they were not expecting it. Xueli looked back unconsciously, but there were only a few people on the straight line from the peak to them. The junior master seemed to be looking at their direction impartially!
And Sydney had a strange feeling.
She felt that this junior uncle seemed to be looking at her.
And in just a brief moment of hesitation, the junior master-master had already walked in front of them.
It was then that Xue Li realized that the other person's gaze was not on her, but on Senior Brother Fang Yi and the others. However, the feeling just now was too vivid, and Xue Li was not sure if it was an illusion.
But now the other person wasn't looking at her, so she couldn't tell for sure.
At this time, I heard Junior Master ask: "Fang Yi, you are back?"
Although Junior Master-Uncle was very young, Fang Yi and the others seemed a little nervous when they saw him. They bowed and said, "Greetings, Junior Master-Uncle!"
Dai Youzong came over as the only disciple, and when the eldest brothers saw the master approaching, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Dai!"
The eldest brother replied to the young uncle: "Yes, we just returned to the sect today."
Dai Youzong walked up to them and saw that the disciple was visiting Fang Yi and his friends. He smiled good-naturedly and asked, "It's Fang Yi. How's it going? Is Nanfang doing well? Did Ajin get upset on the way?"
The eldest brother responded, "It's OK. Thank you for your concern. The epidemic in the south has stabilized. Ah Jin is also very well behaved and nothing happened to him along the way."
Dai Youzong said, "That's good. You've always been reliable. The peak has been busy these days, and I'm sorry to trouble you youngsters to run around with me."
While Dai Youzong was talking to his senior brother, Xue Li was also observing Dai Youzong quietly.
It turns out that this is my aunt’s master in the mortal world.
Xue Li was a little dazed.
He was much older than I had imagined. According to my aunt, her master should be a healthy and energetic elderly man who was devoted to medicine, did not care much about worldly affairs, but took good care of his disciples.
When my aunt left Xinglin Peak, she took nothing with her. Even her former fellow disciples just watched from afar. No one came out to see her off. Only the master gave her an old oil umbrella.
Xueli had seen that umbrella before at her home in Fairyland. It was indeed very worn out, with two broken bones and a damaged cover. The umbrella was usually thrown in a corner of the wooden house, but a few times, Xueli saw her aunt holding the umbrella at home, lost in thought.
My aunt also said that she had a junior brother who was a fellow disciple in the immortal sect, but because the junior brother was too young at the time, my aunt didn't talk much about him. Now the young man in front of me has grown up, and he is tall and straight, and he doesn't look like a young child at all.
Xue Li is considered her aunt's disciple. In this way, the two people in front of her can actually be said to be her direct great-grandmaster and direct uncle-in-law. If you count carefully, their relationship is even closer than Fang Yi's.
Xue Li stared at the two of them in a trance.
At this moment, the elderly Dai Youzong noticed Xue Li's gaze and looked over in confusion. He was also stunned for a moment when he saw such a beautiful and charming girl standing next to his younger disciples.
He asked, "Who is...?"
Fang Yi quickly introduced: "This is the medical fairy we met on the road, Fairy Xueli. She is interested in the Xuanri Yan Fruit and is here to attend the Xinglin Association."
As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, he saw the junior master looking straight at Xueli and suddenly asked, "What's going on with your sleeve?"
"sleeve?"
Xue Li saw him looking at her suddenly, paused for a moment, and then raised his sleeves to look at herself.
Although she was wearing the plain dress commonly worn by traveling doctors, the cuffs had a small circle of flowers embroidered with light-colored thread, which made her look quite unique.
This flower was embroidered by Xueli and her aunt. Their life in the fairyland was very simple and they had little contact with the outside world. They had to make their own daily clothes. This pattern was found on many of Xueli's clothes. In her opinion, it was very common.
Xueli said: "This is the pattern I embroidered at home, it's a very common style... What's wrong?"
"No… nothing."
Junior Master's gaze lingered on Xueli's cuffs, flickered oddly, and he frowned as if in confusion.
He said: “I just think it’s pretty.”
"… Thanks."
Xue Li didn't know what to say in response, so she simply responded.
Dai Youzong was stunned when he heard the senior brother say that Xue Li was interested in the Xuanri Yan Fruit. He couldn't help but look at Xue Li a few more times. However, when he saw Xue Li's clear and energetic eyes, as well as her resilient and energetic temperament, he suddenly felt as if his eyes were stabbed. He always felt that Xue Li looked a little familiar.
It had nothing to do with her appearance or temperament, but the way she stood there, the way she dressed, the way she carried a medical kit, and the expression she unconsciously revealed when she saw people, all made Dai Youzong vaguely think of someone from the past.
His heart immediately felt like it was pricked by a dense mass of tiny needles. He had no choice but to look away in panic, and then he adjusted his mood awkwardly, put on the attitude of an elder and forced a smile, saying, "It's a good thing that more and more outsiders come to Xinglin Peak to participate in the Xinglin Meeting! I didn't expect that even real gods would come this time."
After he finished speaking, he said to Fang Yi, "Since you brought the person back, and you are the eldest senior brother of your generation, you must treat him well. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The eldest brother naturally clasped his fists and responded seriously.
At this time, Junior Uncle-Master said on behalf of Master: "Master and I just came back from outside. We have important matters to deal with in our own peak. Master is tired after the long journey, so we will go back first."
The eldest brother knew that Master Dai and Junior Uncle were just coming over to talk for a short while on their way back to the mountain, and they would not stay long, so he bowed and said, "Farewell, Master Dai, Junior Uncle."
Except for Xueli, everyone else behaved in the same way as the eldest brother and spoke in the same tone.
Dai Youzong patted the eldest brother on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "I leave it to you."
After he finished speaking, he left with his young disciple. However, when he turned to leave, his originally hunched back looked even more haggard and frail. If there were no disciples beside him to support him from time to time, such an old man would fly away as if the wind blew away.
After they walked away, Xue Li said, "Peak Master Dai looks like he is living in poverty. Standing next to the other peak masters, he seems a little out of place."
The eldest senior brother was silent for a moment, then sighed, "There is no way. Because of what happened to Senior Sister Lin Shao, Senior Master Dai was somewhat embarrassed between the Qing and Red sects, so he was inevitably affected."
But he paused for a moment, and then said, "But fortunately, Junior Master Uncle is very competitive. Did you see what Junior Master Uncle looked like before? His real name is Xun Wang. Apart from Master Uncle, Junior Master Uncle is the most popular disciple to win the championship this time! Junior Master Uncle usually competes closely with Master Uncle in schoolwork, cultivation, medical theory, and pharmacology in Xinglin Peak. He almost beat Master Uncle in the last Xinglin meeting. You should know that Junior Master Uncle is 30 years younger than Master Uncle! Junior Master Uncle is the hope of the Qingyi Sect disciples, so everyone usually respects Junior Master Uncle very much."
Xueli nodded in understanding.
She could already vaguely sense the tense atmosphere between the Green Clothes Sect and the Red Clothes Sect. If that was the case, it was no wonder that the Green Clothes Sect's disciples would respect their junior uncle, who was clearly the youngest among the previous generation.
Just now when Junior Uncle-Master came over, the four disciples of lower seniority, from the eldest brother Fang Yi to the younger sister A Jin, all stood very straight, not daring to even breathe.
Just thinking about the other person's gaze on her just now, Xue Li couldn't help but pause for a moment and think about it.
…
Ninth Heaven, Wolf Realm.
"Lord Wolf King, Lord Wolf Queen, we have searched all the fairy books in the lower fairyland, but have not found a fairy named Xueli who matches the one written in the young master's letter."
The wolf officer stood in the hall and respectfully explained their findings to the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen.
After the Wolf Queen gave the order, the fairy officials from the Wolf Realm who were sent out immediately took action, searching everywhere for the trace of the fairy named "Xue Li". The fastest way was to check the fairy registers of various fairy realms and palaces.
However, after five days of hard work, everyone found nothing in the lower fairyland.
Zi Lan hasn't woken up yet. The Wolf King and Queen want to find out what happened to their son after he fell off the platform. On the other hand, they are curious about the girl who Zi Lan is so attracted to. However, after hearing the report from the wolf officer, the situation seems to be at a stalemate for the time being.
The Wolf Queen said, "What should we do? Logically speaking, even if it is a wandering immortal who has come to the mortal world to travel, even if the person is not in the fairyland, he should be found in the immortal register."
The Wolf King said: "If it is not found in the immortal register, it means that the other party is either not recorded in the immortal register due to some special circumstances, or he is not an immortal."
"Not a deity?"
The Queen Wolf couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the words of the Wolf King.
But if you think about it carefully, it is really hard to judge who the other person is just based on Zi Lan's love letters which do not contain very clear information. If he is a mortal, it is not impossible.
But no matter whether the other party is a mortal or not, the only thing that can be confirmed is that since the other party is not on the immortal list, they can only continue to expand the normal range and continue searching in other ways.
But the world of the living is not small, and if you search blindly, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, the medical officer in charge of treating the young master's injuries reported the young master's injuries and stayed in the hall for the time being. He happened to hear the bad news reported by another wolf officer. He saw that the wolf king and wolf queen were thinking about it. After thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly: "Master Wolf King, Master Wolf Queen, is it very likely that the fairy named Xueli is a medical fairy?"
The wolf king and the wolf queen looked at each other.
The Wolf King said: "It is indeed possible."
Zi Lan had signs of having been carefully treated for his injuries, and the only person they knew who had contact with Zi Lan during this period was Xue Li, who he wrote about in the letter. If the two were combined, Xue Li was indeed very likely to be a medical genius, but this was an uncertain thing after all, and no one could say for sure.
The Medical Immortal thought for a moment and said, "If she is a Medical Immortal, I think we can look for her in one place."
The wolf king immediately asked: "Where?"
The Medical Immortal replied: "There is a place in the mortal world called Xinglin Peak."
