Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"Are you capable of performing this kind of surgery here?" Yi Huan still had some doubts.

"No problem at all."

An apprentice volunteered to answer for Xu Jianshan: "My master has been practicing medicine for over thirty years. His medical skills are superb and he is famous far and wide. Please rest assured, young lady."

Xu Jianshan ignored Yi Huan's doubts. While arranging for his apprentices to prepare for the upcoming surgery, he smiled broadly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you gentlemen must be masters of metaphysics, right?"

Upon hearing this, both Yi Huan and Shi Xiaxia remained silent and did not respond.

Meanwhile, Yue Ye immediately shook his head anxiously at Yi Huan and Shi Xiaxia, indicating that he had never mentioned their work to anyone.

Xu Jianshan continued, “Everyone, there’s no need to be nervous. Actually, I am a disciple of the Jinshan Sect. My master found me back then, but unfortunately, I don’t have the talent for cultivation.”

So, my master passed on all his medical skills to me. After my master passed away, I began to practice medicine in various places, and it was only about ten years ago that I settled down here.

After listening, Yi Huan fell into deep thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Jinshan Sect... I remember there is a record of it in the book."

However, the book clearly states that the Jinshan School had already declined and disappeared two or three hundred years ago.

Xu Jianshan sighed softly, shook his head slowly, and said, "It didn't disappear. It's just that the Jinshan Sect once offended some enemies, which caused the sect to suffer heavy damage. Only the ancestor who went out survived."

Later, my master went into hiding and stopped showing his face in public. He only took my master as his disciple. Later still, my master went out on business and came back to find me wandering around.

My master took pity on me and adopted me, but unfortunately, I have no talent for cultivation. By my generation, the Golden Mountain Sect will probably disappear completely.

After saying these words, he remained silent for a moment.

Yi Huan listened quietly without saying anything more, but her expression was somewhat heavy.

Yes, in this degenerate age, even their sects may not last much longer.

At this moment, an apprentice walked up to Xu Jianshan and whispered, "Master, everything is ready."

Xu Jianshan nodded slightly.

He then pressed a mechanism on the bed, and the wheels on the bed's legs popped out instantly, allowing the entire bed to be pushed forward.

Xu Jianshan personally pushed the Moon Pearl, with two apprentices following closely behind, and the group entered a room in the backyard together.

Yue Ye explained to the two of them, "That room is a sterile room specially built by Dr. Xu. My mother also underwent lumbar surgery here. Please rest assured."

Yi Huan nodded and sat silently on a chair to the side, but her eyes remained fixed on the sterile room, her expression showing some tension and worry.

Shi Xiaxia, supporting her limp right arm, sat down weakly in a chair to rest.

She felt her spiritual energy was completely depleted and her body was exhausted. She had only been fighting for a short while today, and she was already feeling the strain.

Restoring only one-third of one's spiritual power is still far from enough!

She had barely sat down when the apprentice who had been outside came up to her with the medicine and said, "Young lady, let me treat the wound on your shoulder first. Your master will treat your arm later."

Shi Xiaxia subconsciously touched the wound that had already dried up.

If her apprentice hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten about the wound.

After all, these are just some superficial injuries and are not serious.

Shi Xiaxia nodded, stood up, and was about to follow the apprentice when she suddenly stopped.

She recalled her fight with Zhu Chen. The silk thread artifact was incredibly powerful, but the injuries she sustained were not as severe as she had imagined.

At that time, she was even prepared for her shoulder to be pierced.

Could it be that... Zhu Chen went easy on him?

However, the two sides are clearly adversaries, so this explanation seems unreasonable.

Shi Xiaxia thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she put it out of her mind and followed the apprentice into the room to have him treat the injury on her shoulder.

The apprentice first used scissors to cut open Xiaxia's clothes on her shoulder, revealing the already congealed wound.

The apprentice frowned, looked at it for a while, and said softly, "The wound is small, but it is a bit deep. It needs to be disinfected. It may hurt a little, so please bear with it."

Shi Xiaxia nodded to the apprentice.

The apprentice picked up an alcohol swab and gently wiped the skin around the wound, then sprinkled anti-inflammatory powder on the wound, and finally re-bandaged it with clean gauze.

After treating the wound, the apprentice gave Shi Xiaxia a piece of ointment, saying, "This is a special ointment made by Master. Just apply it once a day."

"Okay." Shi Xiaxia reached out her left hand to take it, then turned and walked out of the room, waiting outside with Yi Huan.

Time passed slowly, and after about twenty minutes, Xu Jianshan finally came out of the room.

Because of a severe infection in her wound, Yue Mingzhu had anti-inflammatory medication attached to her arm when she was wheeled out.

At this moment, Yue Mingzhu had already woken up, her face was unusually pale, without a trace of blood.

Upon seeing this, Yi Huan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, which flowed out like a burst dam.

She hurried to the bedside, her voice choked with sobs as she called out, "Mingzhu!"

Hearing Yi Huan's call, Yue Mingzhu slowly opened her eyes, wanting to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Yi Huan's eyes.

However, she found herself so weak that she couldn't even lift her arm.

So all she could do was whisper a comforting word: "Don't cry."

But Yi Huan couldn't control her emotions. She kept saying, "I won't cry, I won't cry..." while her tears flowed even more profusely.

The crystal-clear tears kept rolling down, dripping onto Yuemingzhu's hand.

Just then, Xu Jianshan said to Shi Xiaxia, "Young lady, please come with me for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaxia turned her gaze away from Yi Huan and Yue Mingzhu, nodded, and then followed Xu Jianshan into the inner room.

Xu Jianshan slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Shi Xiaxia's broken arm.

A slight look of surprise crossed his face, and then he said, "The method this person used is quite ingenious!"

Although your arm is broken, judging from the injury, subsequent treatment will be quite convenient, and it shouldn't have any adverse effects on your future mobility.

After Xu Jianshan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shi Xiaxia, and their eyes met as she was looking him over.

Xu Jianshan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and he asked directly, "Is the young lady curious about my appearance?"
