Perhaps fueled by anger, Mu She didn't hold back this time.
One slap sent Mu Li spinning several times before he collapsed onto the ground in a daze.
"Putting aside how terrifying Xiao Yan's potential is, his sect alone… do you think our little Wolf Head Mercenary Group can afford to provoke him?"
Mu She's eyes bore disappointment as he looked at his son.
Sometimes, one's intellect mattered more than raw strength.....knowing how to assess the situation determined how far a person could go.
Being strong meant always facing someone stronger.
Only those who understood timing and judgment could survive longer. Mu Li's behavior today left Mu She extremely disappointed.
"Think carefully about what you've done. If you insist on seeking death, don't expect me to avenge you even if Xiao Yan kills you.
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group cannot have such a reckless leader."
With a cold snort, Mu She swished his sleeve and strode away.
Mu Li sat dazed on the ground, eyes flickering with uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the night was cool, and Xiao Yan sat leisurely in the courtyard of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, taking a rare break from cultivation.
His gaze rested on Little Doctor Fairy, who quietly ground herbs with a mortar and pestle, her delicate figure bathed in silver moonlight.
The soft light outlined her gentle silhouette, making her even more enchanting.
Her focused, serene demeanor inspired respect rather than desire, radiating a unique and tender beauty.
If Xun'er was an elegant blue lotus, and Ya Fei a striking red rose, then Little Doctor Fairy was a pure white camellia, calming anyone who looked upon her.
"Of course I'll go gather herbs. How else would I earn a living?" she said, her eyes still fixed on the powdered herbs, a genuine smile tugging at her lips.
She had never asked for Xiao Yan's support, believing dependence on another for love was unnatural.
"I can tell you truly enjoy gathering herbs," Xiao Yan said with a faint smile. In his previous life, she had always loved collecting rare herbs.
"Yes. Studying their growth environment and properties is fascinating," she replied, offering a rare gentle smile before returning to her work.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan said nothing, content to quietly watch her.
After a while, once she had ground the herbs into powder and stored them in pouches, Little Doctor Fairy walked over to him.
"It's getting late. You should rest."
"Listen, little brother, even though you're talented, winning my heart isn't that easy. I advise you to find another girl.
Your noble family's affairs are far too complicated; I don't want to be involved."
She turned lightly to leave, but Xiao Yan's voice suddenly called from behind her.
"A strong cultivator's lair?"
Little Doctor Fairy paused, then turned back with a faint smile.
"Even as a legendary prodigy, a strong cultivator's lair isn't something you discover easily.
There are many ways to trick a girl, but this one seems… too ordinary."
She glanced at Xiao Yan's calm, smiling eyes and her voice softened.
"Is there really a strong cultivator's lair?"
For some reason, she felt Xiao Yan wouldn't lie to her.
"It's not exactly a lair of a true powerhouse. Probably just a few advanced techniques, some mid-to-high grade herbs…" Xiao Yan replied with a light shrug.
"Advanced techniques? Mid-to-high grade herbs?" Her eyes widened. Anyone with access to such things could hardly be considered weak.
For Xiao Yan, such individuals weren't true powerhouses.
Even Dou Di-level experts seemed ordinary to him. But the lair held extraordinary opportunities for him in the past, memories of adventures with Little Doctor Fairy stirring excitement.
Though he was no longer the same boy, fortunately, the girl remained unchanged.
"Why share such treasures with me?" she asked, skeptical.
"If you think I'm asking you to give yourself in return, then you don't have to go.
Though those things are valuable, I'm not asking you to sell yourself."
"Sell myself?" Xiao Yan shook his head, amused. "If I wanted to forcefully take you, I wouldn't need such formalities. Kidnapping a weak girl like you would be trivial.
I just think exploring a treasure lair is more enjoyable with a companion.
If you don't want to go, then fine."
He even waved, ready to return to his room.
