The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Out of the corner of his eye, Feng Yuhan saw a small white object heading straight for Li Muxia's face. He instinctively grabbed Li Muxia's arm with his other hand and gently pulled her up to his side. At the same time, he also moved away from the snow lotus. The white object accurately struck Nangong Yufeng between the eyebrows.

Everyone burst into laughter at the comical scene. Nangong Yufeng, his handsome face flushed, removed the snow silkworm from his face and looked at Feng Yuhan, saying, "It's just a small snow silkworm. Pavilion Master Feng, there's absolutely no need for such a commotion."

Li Muxia, who was hiding in Feng Yuhan's arms, was also embarrassed. After laughing, everyone looked at Li Muxia and Feng Yuhan with meaningful expressions, their eyes full of gossip.

Li Muxia awkwardly stepped out of Feng Yuhan's embrace. She knew that Feng Yuhan knew her identity, and she felt a little embarrassed. She said shyly, "Thank you, Pavilion Master Feng."

Feng Yuhan realized he had overreacted, but at the time he hadn't really thought much about it. He just felt that Li Muxia was in danger and instinctively wanted to protect her in his arms.

Even though it was a misunderstanding, Feng Yuhan didn't feel embarrassed, nor did he pay much attention to the stares of those around him. Instead, he lingered, savoring the warmth still lingering in his arms.

Nangong Huaiyuan watched their reactions, a knowing smile playing on his lips: "It seems Feng Yuhan really does have a special feeling for Xia Mu. Feng Yuhan, oh Feng Yuhan, don't you know that even the strongest person is no longer invincible once they have a weakness?"

After completing the mission, everyone returned to the cabin and carefully counted the snow silkworms they had caught. Including the ones caught the first time, there were a total of thirty-one, ten of which were still juvenile snow silkworms. After discussion, everyone decided to release them.

The group descended the mountain with seven snow lotuses and twenty-one snow lotuses.

On the stage, Tong Xiuyuan took out the results one by one and said to the crowd below the stage: "This mission to the snow mountain has yielded a lot of results. We have picked a total of seven snow lotuses and twenty-one snow silkworms. They will be distributed to everyone according to the ranking of the arena competition later. Please be patient."

As soon as Tong Xiuyuan finished speaking, murmurs arose from the crowd.

One man said, "There are twenty-one snow silkworms. Doesn't that mean I can get one too? I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Another man said, "If you're after money, you might as well give it to those who need the snow silkworms to save their lives."

The man retorted, "Alright, so you're the good guy. How many of us here are actually waiting for the snow silkworm to save our lives? Aren't we all here at the snow mountain just like me, here to attend the auction? You know, the auction price for a single snow silkworm isn't low. If you really need to save your life but don't have the ability to catch a snow silkworm yourself, just go to the auction and buy one."

The man knew the man was telling the truth, so he snorted and turned to leave. His ranking in the arena was low, so he wouldn't get the Snow Silkworm this time.

Upon hearing the number of snow silkworms, many people at the scene realized they had no chance of obtaining any and packed their bags to leave.

Tong Xiuyuan didn't waste too much time and had Feng Siyan distribute the snow lotus and snow silkworms to everyone in order of ranking.

After Li Muxia and the others got their things, they prepared to leave. They originally wanted to say goodbye to Feng Yuhan, but they couldn't find him anywhere, so they had no choice but to leave first.

Seeing that Li Muxia and the others were about to leave, Nangong Yufeng quickly followed and said, "Xia Mu, wait for me."

"Yu Feng." Li Muxia almost forgot about him. She was so busy looking for Feng Yuhan that she completely forgot to say goodbye to Yu Feng. After spending so much time together, Li Muxia still considered Nangong Yu Feng a good friend. At this moment, she looked at Nangong Yu Feng with some guilt and said, "Yu Feng, we are going back to the Eastern Kingdom. We'll meet again someday."

Nangong Yufeng looked at Li Muxia and said, "Xia Mu, I know you are the legendary healer in folklore."

Hearing Nangong Yufeng's words, Li Muxia scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I've only treated a few sick patients, and that's how the people gave me that title. Don't take it too seriously."

Nangong Yufeng: "Xia Mu, I know your medical skills must be excellent, otherwise everyone wouldn't call you the Immortal Physician. I... I have a favor to ask you for."

Seeing that Nangong Yufeng was hesitant to speak, Li Muxia immediately said, "Yufeng, what is it? Just tell me. If I can do it, I certainly won't refuse."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Nangong Yufeng immediately exclaimed happily, "Really? That's wonderful!" He excitedly grabbed Li Muxia's hand.

Qingyun, watching from the shadows, frowned: This was their future mistress of the pavilion master; he really wanted to slap Nangong Yufeng's groping hands away.

Li Muxia looked at the excited Nangong Yufeng and said, "Don't get excited yet. Tell me what it is. I'm not sure I can do it."

Nangong Yufeng then stated his request: "I can do it, you definitely can. I want you to come back with me to see my mother about her illness."

Li Muxia had already guessed some of it, but hearing it with her own ears still surprised her. She looked at Nangong Yufeng and asked, "Hasn't the doctor already seen your mother? Didn't you come here to get the snow lotus to save your mother?"

Seeing Li Muxia's puzzled expression, and then looking at the people around him, Nangong Yufeng suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation. He couldn't very well say that he suspected the imperial physicians in the palace had all been bribed, could he?

Thinking of this, she said with a hint of disappointment, "My family situation is rather complicated. I'm worried that the doctor has been bribed, which is why I asked you for help. I can only trust you."

Li Muxia could hear the bitterness in his words and understood the shady struggles within the large families. She felt a pang of sympathy and turned to look at Bai Qingshi and Xiaoyaozi behind her.

The two met Li Muxia's gaze. Bai Qingshi respected Li Muxia's own ideas. She had been through a lot with him and understood that Li Muxia was a very opinionated person. Once she made a decision, she would listen to other people's opinions, but they would never affect her own decision.

Although worried about her safety, I still said, "Xia Mu, you've grown up now. I know you've made up your mind, so I will support you. Don't worry about what happens next. Your second master and I will handle it ourselves. If you want to go, then go. But you must take your senior brother with you."

After saying that, he said to Shangguan Jingye, "Ye'er, you go with your junior brother and make sure she is safe."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingye quickly replied, "Master, don't worry, I will protect my junior brother."
