Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 120 Miss Ling, you don't want what happened last night to be spread out, right?

Seeing that she was speechless, Lu Zhan did not continue to argue with her. He knew that she was troubled by what happened last night, so he stopped talking.

"However, although your external injuries have healed, many of your meridians are damaged. You need to circulate your Qi to heal and clear them. You should not delay. But clearing the meridians may cause the risk of going astray. Night Doctor can help you a lot when necessary. If you trust me, I advise you to stay."

It wasn't that he had any feelings towards her, Lu Zhan was just telling the truth.

Even though what happened last night was a misunderstanding, he was the one who injured Ling Jiaoyue, so logically he had no fault. But morally, he should save her to the end and see her off to the end.

For cultivators, external injuries are easier to treat than internal injuries.

Throughout history, there have been many senior practitioners who went astray due to internal injuries during their practice.

It’s not that our predecessors were unable to heal internal injuries, but many of them were caused by not promptly and seriously circulating Qi to repair the meridians after recovery, resulting in tiny gaps in the meridians.

At first, you may not feel there is a problem, but when you find out, the gap has already become bigger, causing the blockage of the true Qi. If you find it at a normal time, you can still calm down and recover well, but if you find that the true Qi is blocked at a critical moment in your practice, you will inevitably go astray.

Therefore, Lu Zhan had no selfish motives and was just reminding Ling Jiaoyue as a doctor.

"According to the severity of my injuries, it will take several days for my meridians to recover." Ling Jiaoyue knew the severity of the injury.

"Three days at most. If you don't want to stay here, you can find your sisters and brothers. They will protect you. But don't use your true energy on the way. You need to heal your wounds immediately after you are safe."

Ling Jiaoyue didn't say anything, but she couldn't help biting her red lips, seeming a little hesitant.

As the most talented disciple of the younger generation of Yunshui Sect, Ling Jiaoyue did not act rashly. She knew that Lu Zhan had not lied to her. In the early years, the elders of Yunshui Sect had been careless after being injured, which resulted in long-term internal injuries, making it difficult for them to make further progress.

"Can I stay for another three days? My fellow sisters don't have a night doctor. If something goes wrong, they won't be able to help. Is that convenient?"

Ling Jiaoyue tilted her head slightly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in her cold eyes. Asking her to take the initiative to stay overnight was a great test for her, but it was a decision she had weighed carefully.

I just left without saying goodbye simply because I didn't want to meet Lu Zhan and was afraid of the awkwardness of the meeting.

But now that we've met and talked, the awkwardness has been resolved and I've calmed down a lot.

Leaving now is not a good idea.

Her senior and junior sisters were all full of suspicion. If she went to see them like this, in their eyes, it would seem that she had been missing for a night while killing an evil cultivator, and was seriously injured and unable to circulate Qi the next day. Who knows what kind of gossip would they spread.

Although the Yunshui Sect is an immortal sect, there is always a imbalance in resources, and disciples fight openly and secretly.

Besides, her fame is too great, which has aroused a lot of jealousy. It is better to have fewer rumors at a time like this.

Although he was not familiar with Lu Zhan, the two of them had crossed paths by accident. Even if he left now, he could not erase what happened last night.

In this case, it is better for her to recuperate here. Lu Zhan is also a night doctor and can take good care of her if any problems arise. It will not be too late to leave after she has recovered.

"It's convenient." Lu Zhan was neither surprised nor happy. He raised his eyes and said, "But I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"Ms. Ling, you don't want what happened last night to be spread out, do you?"

Ling Jiaoyue's pretty face suddenly turned red. She understood the potential threat of this sentence. The rumors about Lu Zhan involuntarily emerged in her mind, and she became more alert.

"Mr. Lu, I won't tell anyone that you are number three."

"But my family doesn't support idlers." Lu Zhan stared at her cold face, "Miss Ling is a Taoist practitioner, so she should have some knowledge of talismans."

The phrase 'don't keep idle people' made Ling Jiaoyue speechless, and her face felt a little hot.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Lu Zhan's action should be to make her feel less psychologically stressed. Only by paying something can she live here with peace of mind. This is a reasonable exchange.

Ling Jiaoyue looked much more relaxed: "You are a night doctor, do you want to learn how to draw talismans?"

"I want to give it a try. It would be great if Miss Ling could give me some advice."

Ling Jiaoyue looked into the boy's eyes. Even if she didn't want to teach him, she didn't have the confidence to do so. She could only say calmly, "I'll teach you after your injury heals. But you can just say it directly. There's no need to block me with that kind of rhetoric you just used."

"I didn't expect Miss Ling to be so easy to talk to." Lu Zhan smiled brightly. "I'm on vacation these few days. If you need anything, I can buy it for you. You'd better not go out too much. If you are seen by others, there will be gossip."

Gossip… Hearing these four words, Ling Jiaoyue felt even more aggrieved.

I shouldn’t have pretended to be number four, and I shouldn’t have met number three in private… If not, how could we be in this situation… Ling Jiaoyue took a long breath and calmed herself down: “Please buy me two sets of clothes.”

Lu Zhan looked at her thoughtfully.

Ling Jiaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, are you afraid that I won't give you the money? Here are five taels of silver. You don't need to buy nice clothes. Just buy some coarse cloth clothes for ordinary women. White clothes are too conspicuous."

Lu Zhan put the silver away and said seriously, "No... I was just thinking, is it inappropriate for me to buy a bellyband for a girl?"

"You..." Ling Jiaoyue was immediately furious, feeling that she was being teased. However, seeing that Lu Zhan was serious and didn't seem to be joking with her, she could only grit her teeth and said, "You don't need to buy that. Just buy some outerwear. Thank you for your help."

Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Oh, then I'll buy you a basin and you can wash it yourself before wearing it."

Ling Jiaoyue: "..."

Seeing Lu Zhan walk away, Ling Jiaoyue felt indescribably annoyed, but she didn't know who to be angry with.

All in all, this matter was due to her inferior skills. Fortunately, Lu Zhan was a gentleman and did not take advantage of her misfortune, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Even though there were rumors that Lu Zhan was lustful, actions should be judged, not the heart. The rumors were not important. What mattered was that he did not do that.

Never mind... I'd better write a letter first. Ling Jiaoyue put down the sword, stood up and walked out of the room.

Last night, she killed No. 3 and did not return for a long time. Her sisters and brothers must have gone to the valley to check. The bloodstains probably could not be concealed. Since she wanted to avoid rumors, she had to explain the matter clearly in a letter to avoid suspicion.

"That skylark, where is his study?"

The sun was very bright outside. Ling Jiaoyue squinted her eyes and looked at Yun Que who was eating melon seeds with a little surprise.

The Skylark King stood on the stone table with a handful of sunflower seeds in front of him. He lay on his belly with a sunflower seed in each claw and put them into his mouth. Then he puffed up his mouth and soon spat out two sunflower seed shells.

Ling Jiaoyue was surprised by its agility. It was indeed the bird raised by Lu Zhan. Its behavior was very similar to his, which was beyond ordinary people's expectations.

"It's the one on the left." Skylark spread his wings and pointed, chirping, "Mr. Xiao Lu's wife, are you going to write a letter to someone too?"

"I'm not his wife."

"then who are you?"

"My name is Ling...Lin Yuejiao, you can just call me Miss Lin."

"Yuejiao, are you going to write a letter to someone? King Skylark has seen Mr. Xiao Lu writing a letter, drawing words that look like earthworms on paper."

"..."

Ling Jiaoyue was naturally aloof and didn't like talking to people. When she heard the skylarks chirping, she couldn't help but find it noisy.

I wonder how Lu Zhan tolerates this bird... Ling Jiaoyue frowned and came to the study.

The study was clean and tidy, with a crabapple blossom on the table. Her frown relaxed again. She didn't expect Lu Zhan to like such elegance. His home was also clean and tidy, completely different from the man she had imagined living alone.

There was ink in the inkstone mountain. Ling Jiaoyue ground it and the fragrance of ink wafted in the wind. It was the best pine ink. She spread a piece of rice paper and started to write a letter.

The content of the letter was three-tenths true and seven-tenths false. It said that she had injured Number Three, but Number Three threw a smoke bomb and escaped. The situation was urgent and she chased him relentlessly, forgetting to blow the whistle... Finally, she killed him on the outskirts of Jinling. She is now tracking down the remnants of the Black Water Sect, and told her sisters not to worry.

After writing, she stuffed the letter into a paper crane, which then flew into the air, carrying the letter away.

The Skylark King stared and said, "Flying paper? What is this?"

"This is Yun... This is the communication method used by my hometown." Ling Jiaoyue looked at Yun Que and thought: "How long have you known Lu Zhan?"

"Well... a few days."

"How did you know each other?"

"Because he rented this house and this sycamore tree is my home, he and I lived in peace and became neighbors."

"What do you think of others?"

"It's fine. He didn't look around when he took off your clothes last night."

"Don't tell anyone about this!"

Ling Jiaoyue's tone was cold, but her heart was much calmer. This bird was simple and stupid, and it should not lie. It seemed that Lu Zhan was indeed a gentleman. She warned the bird and went back to her room to heal her wounds.

……

White walls, green tiles, brackets and flying eaves, the hustle and bustle of the world.

Compared to Hongyuan Street, which is full of brothels, Qingyuan Street is lined with regular shops. Lu Zhan seldom goes shopping, but now he feels that it is very lively and much more prosperous than in TV dramas, with a wide variety of goods everywhere.

The wisdom of the ancients is endless. Many doors have advertising slogans and hired model girls on them. They even hold a clothing festival every year and invite the most popular courtesans to wear their clothes and perform shows as a way of promoting their products.

Five taels of silver could buy some nice clothes. Lu Zhan picked and chose, and chose two sets of jujube-colored cotton skirts. This style was very common and not as eye-catching as Ling Jiaoyue's clothes.

Considering that there was one more person in the family, Lu Zhan bought a new wooden barrel and basin, then a toothbrush and tooth salt, and finally a pair of clogs.

Although it looked like a short stay of three days, there were actually many things needed. Ling Jiaoyue might not need to eat cereals, but women had to take a bath every day, even cultivators were no exception. Moreover, she fell into the pond last night, so she definitely had to take a bath.

After picking and choosing like this, it was already noon when I got home.

"Put it on. You took a bath yesterday. If you want to take a bath, use this bucket."

Lu Zhan handed her the wooden barrel and basin.

Ling Jiaoyue's cold face was slightly embarrassed, and she nodded slightly: "Thank you."

"If you want to take a shower, there's clean water over there."

After the corpse was fished out, Lu Zhan used his true Qi to stimulate the water in the well to make it flow. Now there was no problem with the well water. In fact, there was no problem before, but Lu Zhan had a psychological barrier.

“Hmm…” Ling Jiaoyue lowered her head and walked into the room, feeling a little hesitant again.

After all, it was in a man's house, and it was really weird to ask her to take a bath.

At this moment, Lu Zhan's considerate voice came from outside the window: "Don't worry, wash it. I won't peek."

Ling Jiaoyue: "..."

Soaking in the pond last night did make her feel uncomfortable, so she simply stopped worrying about it.

Cultivators are not restricted to using cold or hot water for bathing. Ling Jiaoyue swiftly carried two buckets of water into the house, and soon the sound of splashing water could be heard from inside the house.

Lu Zhan was sitting outside the yard, listening to the clattering sound, his mind uncontrollably thinking of last night's scene. It wasn't that he did it on purpose, but some things are hard to forget once you've seen them, and he felt a little dry in the mouth.

He ran to the kitchen and drank a few sips of cold water, and his heart finally calmed down a little. Lu Zhan was thinking about whether he should go and talk to Madam Liuhua in the evening. It would be a shame to keep it to himself.

"What are you doing?" Skylark's voice came from outside the window.

Lu Zhan splashed cold water on his face and said, "Not angry anymore?"

The Skylark King held his head high and chest out, trying to lift his chin to look at him: "Sunflower seeds are delicious."

"I'll buy it for you next time."

"You're a nice person."

"But this family doesn't keep idle birds. They just catch all the insects on the ginkgo tree when they have nothing to do."

"..."

The Skylark King looked at Lu Zhan with a pair of cunning eyes, and finally succumbed to the temptation of sunflower seeds and obediently went to catch insects for the tree.

……

As the sun gradually approached noon, the rustling sound in the house stopped, and soon the door opened from the inside.

Ling Jiaoyue had already changed into the clothes Lu Zhan had bought. Even though they were common coarse linen clothes, they still looked bright on her. In the past, her white clothes were loose and flowing, covering her beautiful curves, but this set of skirts showed off her figure very well.

She stood in front of the door, her black hair like a waterfall and her face was cold. The bright sunlight shone on her frosty and cold cheeks, which added a bit of warmth. Although her body was not as turbulent as Jiang Ningshuang's, the curves of her hips and legs were very beautiful.

Her former temperament of being like a pear tree covered with snow was weakened by three points, but it was also filled with a kind of approachable gentle beauty. However, although her eyes were bright, her gaze was cold.

Lu Zhan took a closer look and thought it was very tasty.

“Ahem…” Perhaps because Lu Zhan’s gaze was too direct, Ling Jiaoyue felt a little uncomfortable. She tilted her head and said lightly, “Thank you.”

"You're welcome. Do you want to eat?" Lu Zhan was in a good mood.

It is quite an interesting experience to be able to see the unique grace of the Moon Fairy. Usually Ling Jiaoyue looks like an ice sculpture, but now her cold face has a hint of embarrassment, which is indeed quite charming.

After all, no matter how beautiful and cold a fairy is, she is just a girl at heart.

"We don't need to eat at this level."

Ling Jiaoyue turned her head, somewhat confused.

Although they have not yet reached the pinnacle, they have reached the realm of transcendence and have long passed the stage of fasting. Not drinking or eating is the norm for them.

Lu Zhan said seriously: "Eating is a joy in life, so we cannot give it up. Even though I am a cultivator, eating is also a form of cultivation."

"Sir, you seem to have a lot of experience in spiritual practice."

"good."

Ling Jiaoyue thought he would be humble, but unexpectedly Lu Zhan was not humble at all. He even agreed with what she said, which left her speechless.

It was the Skylark King who reminded quietly: "Hey, hey, hey, you have an accent. Her last name is Lin, not Ling."

Ling Jiaoyue: "..."
