Chapter 140 - Men Often Say That to Me

"Thank you for your concern, Headmaster Xia. The child is fine now," Luo Ruying said with a slight smile.

Xia Guo was deeply shocked.

After discovering that Luo Hongye possessed both an Immortal Spirit and a Devil Spirit yesterday, he had specifically consulted many ancient texts.

He was greatly shocked to learn that Luo Hongye might be the legendary Immortal Devil Physique.

There had never been a naturally-born Immortal Devil Physique in the world...

However, after the shock, he couldn't help but feel regret for a long time.

Luo Hongye was young, and her talent test caused a celestial phenomenon, even directly breaking the Heavenly Mystery Stone, indicating that her future Immortal path was limitless.

Unfortunately, fate seemed to envy her talent, as Luo Hongye possessed the extremely rare Immortal Devil Physique.

However, he had only lamented for a night when, on the next day, he was suddenly told that Luo Hongye was fine…

This was something he had never heard of…

"May I ask, how did Immortal Luo manage this?"

Xia Guo couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Luo Ruying smiled, her beautiful eyes turning to Ning Yechen beside her.

"My husband comes from a family of healers, and they just happened to have a medicinal formula recorded for treating this condition."

Xia Guo also followed Luo Ruying's gaze, looking at Ning Yechen.\n\nThis was the first time he had observed a mortal so carefully and attentively.\n\nHe hadn't paid much attention to Ning Yechen before. Now, after taking a close look, he realized this person was extraordinary…\n\nHis posture was upright and graceful, and his appearance was exceptionally handsome. He often wore a gentle and charming smile, and his entire being exuded an air of calm and composure…\n\nEven when facing a Celestial God Realm expert like him, he remained neither servile nor overbearing…\n\nThis was extremely rare among mortals.\n\nGenerally, those who saw him would either feel intimidated or show respect and reverence. Almost no one dared to look at him directly like Ning Yechen…\n\nIt was no wonder he was the wife of the Immortal Fairy, Luo Ruying; he did indeed possess unique qualities…

To have a family that could collect medicinal recipes related to healing the Immortal Devil Physique is truly remarkable…

He had cultivated for so long and had never even heard of a way to heal the Immortal Devil Physique.

"Since Mr. Ning comes from a family of physicians, your medical skills must be exceptional."

"I have something I would like to ask of Mr. Ning."

Xia Guo said to Ning Yechen very politely.

"Please, speak freely, Director Xia."

"Yesterday, a disciple of our academy named Su Yi was also unfortunately affected, suffering severe injuries and has been bedridden ever since."

"I've asked all the famous doctors in the city, but there's been no improvement. Even I am helpless. I was hoping that you could diagnose her?"

Xia Guo opened his mouth and entreated.

Yesterday, Luo Hongye, for reasons unknown, attracted a demonic spirit into her body. In a moment of urgency, Su Yi rashly reached out and touched her, so her injuries weren't too serious. However, a demonic spirit also invaded her body.

Despite exhausting all methods and using various pills, her injuries still hadn't healed after a long time.

Luo Ruying, upon hearing this, finally understood why she hadn't seen Su Yi. It turned out she was seriously injured and hadn't recovered.

Luo Ruying turned her head to look at Ning Yechen beside her.

She had a very good impression of Su Yi.

She was very kind and gentle towards children, teaching them with patience and care.

She felt a little guilty that Su Yi had been injured protecting the child.

"Miss Su was injured because of my child, so I should go and see her."

"Then I'll trouble Dean Xia to lead the way."

Ning Yechen agreed with a smile.

He had heard everything from Yue Qingyou. Since Su Yi was injured protecting Luo Hongye, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by. Even if Xia Guo didn't say anything, he had originally planned to visit Su Yi, and this was also one of his purposes for accompanying his child to Nanli Academy today.

"Please follow me."

Under Xia Guo's lead, Ning Yechen and the others arrived at the residences in Nanli Academy specifically prepared for the disciples.

The residences were distributed in a crisscrossing pattern, leading in all directions. The rooms were neatly arranged, each a separate single room, specifically for the disciples to cultivate diligently.

As Xia Guo led Ning Yechen through the residences, the passing disciples of Nanli Academy would politely bow and greet them.

Among them, many people were curiously sizing up Ning Yechen and the others.

Along the way, Xia Guo couldn't help but glance at Yue Qingyou, who had been maintaining a graceful posture and silently following behind Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying. She hadn't said a word from beginning to end.

For some reason, he always felt like he had seen this woman somewhere before…

Moreover, this woman's appearance and temperament were simply impeccable…

Yet, such a woman was just a maid…?

"Academy Head Xia, is there something on my face?"

Yue Qingyou's beautiful eyes looked towards Xia Guo, and she asked with a slight smile.

From the very beginning, she had noticed Xia Guo's covert gaze.

"Ahem, I wonder if I've met you somewhere before, miss?"

Xia Guo didn't expect to be discovered, so he coughed awkwardly and looked at Yue Qingyou, speaking earnestly.

"Perhaps~"

"I often hear men say that to me."

Yue Qingyou's lips curled slightly, and a charming smile appeared on her serene and beautiful face as she replied with a very dignified and polite manner.

"My apologies..."

"Perhaps I was mistaken..."

Xia Guo glanced away in embarrassment, not daring to meet Yue Qingyou's gaze again.

Luo Ruying couldn't help but smirk.

Yue Qingyou had mentioned that men often used that line on her. Now, Xia Guo was asking the same thing, essentially flirting with her…

As the head of Nanli Academy, a powerhouse in the Southern Region, it would be incredibly embarrassing to be mistaken for flirting with a maid. Thus, Xia Guo didn't dare to speak to Yue Qingyou again…

A cultivator at the Celestial God Realm, completely shut down by Yue Qingyou's few words…

Ning Yechen, who was following behind, also smiled slightly, saying nothing.

Xia Guo was still too young to try and pry information out of Yue Qingyou…

The three of them soon arrived outside Su Yi's room.

As they approached, they heard Qi Yuan's voice coming from inside.

"Wait a moment, I'll go find Ning Yechen right away to take a look at you!"

"Ning Yechen is really amazing, it'll definitely be okay!"

Qi Yuan hurriedly opened the door from the room, and just happened to bump into Xia Guo who was coming head-on.

"Xia, Head of the Academy...!"

Qi Yuan hastily bowed slightly to greet him.

Now, she had fulfilled her wish and become a cultivation disciple of Nanli Academy, and she was also wearing the apprentice uniform of Nanli Academy.

She was skipping class to come and visit Su Yi, and she was caught by the Head of the Academy all of a sudden...

It was hard not to panic...

However, as soon as Qi Yuan raised her head, she saw Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying following Xia Guo. She immediately looked delighted, completely ignoring Xia Guo and running in front of Ning Yechen, calling out enthusiastically:

"Sister Luo, Big Brother Ning!"

Xia Guo's hand, which was raised to greet them, awkwardly froze in mid-air...

He knew that Qi Yuan and Su Yi had a good relationship, so it was understandable that she skipped class to visit her, and he didn't intend to blame her.

But being ignored like this really hit him hard…

He hadn't expected that in Qi Yuan's eyes, he, the head of Nanli Academy, wouldn't be as important as Ning Yechen…
