3216 Fate
In addition to the few people she was travelling with, there was the young man she had saved and two injured elderly men. The situation, however, didn’t seem right. There was also a girl on her father’s back who should be counted.
After a half-month absence, the girl’s face had become wan and pallid, and her entire body was covered in large scars. She looked as if she were dying.
“It’s you! The fairy!”
The man she had saved exclaimed in surprise. Because of his leg injury, he limped as he hurried over to Feng Jiu. “I didn’t expect to see you here again, Fairy. I haven’t thanked you for saving me before!”
The man looked excitedly at the woman dressed in red. He was certain that what he saw that day was real after meeting her again. The woman in front of him was still dressed in dazzling red and had that stunning face. Despite her cold eyes, he felt cordial and excited to meet his saviour again.
“Thank you, Fairy, for saving my life before.” The man respectfully saluted Feng Jiu to express his gratitude.
Feng Jiu nodded. “This is a small effort on my part.”
“And you are…” The middle-aged man arrived at the front, carrying his daughter on his back. He was astounded when he saw Feng Jiu in red, seeing that she was alone, but her face was stunning and her temperament was extraordinary.
This woman showed tremendous courage. She dared to come here alone in such a dangerous place, but she remained calm and unafraid. She was truly unrivalled among ordinary women.
“Father, some time ago when we got lost, I was chased by a demon beast in the forest. The fairy was the one who saved me.” The man turned around and exclaimed, “The fairy had already left when I awoke. I didn’t expect to see her here again. It’s really fate!”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu’s lips twitched slightly, but she simply smiled and did not speak again.
“So, that’s what happened.” The middle-aged man immediately placed his daughter, whom he was carrying on his back, under the tree and saluted Feng Jiu. “Thank you for helping to save my son. I, surnamed Cheng, am extremely grateful.”
Feng Jiu nodded, her gaze falling on the girl. “This girl seems to be very ill.”
The middle-aged man’s face looked sad as he heard her words. “This girl is in poor health. She has been following us here for a long time, but her body couldn’t endure it and she collapsed.”
“I have some knowledge of medicine. If you don’t mind, I can examine her.” As she spoke, Feng Jiu’s eyes set on the girl. This girl also had some fate with her. Since the effectiveness of her Beast-Shaping Pill had worn off, it was not a problem for her to treat this girl using acupuncture.
The middle-aged man and others were stunned after hearing this. They were not surprised, but rather hesitant and curious. This person appeared out of nowhere and claimed she knows how to treat his daughter. Why did that sound somewhat dubious?
Although he was aware that his daughter was in poor health, particularly now that her condition had deteriorated, he would not be at ease entrusting his daughter to someone who claimed casually that she knew a little about medicine. Who knew if anything more serious would emerge?
As a doctor and alchemist, Feng Jiu could also guess how they felt and understood why they didn’t trust her. Since she wanted to help them, she would do so to the very end!
So, she took out a badge from her space and handed it to the middle-aged man.
