The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 115

Meng Qi turned to Xu Zijun and Xue Chengxuan: "Fellow Daoist Xue, Fellow Daoist Xu, our number one priority is to find Sister Xue." She then reached out and pulled Sikong Xing's arm, "Xingxing, we can beat him together after leaving the Starfallen Sea!"

"Got it." Sikong Xing nodded sullenly.

Xu Zijun's natal sword remained brandished, but after a while, he finally gave Meng Qi a small nod. The sword by his side shook slightly, as if expressing its master's dissatisfaction. The guy surnamed Ji was too infuriating. If Xu Zijun was alone, he would certainly have fought Ji Wujiong regardless of the consequences, and even knowing he had no chance to win, he would still challenge the latter in order to defend his sect's honor.

Xue Chengxuan also put down the hand holding the knife, and his expression gradually regained its usual calmness. He turned his head to look at Meng Qi. The girl in the blue robe usually looked calm and expressionless, but she had several different attitudes when facing other people. For example, him. Even though Meng Qi was on good terms with his younger sister, she was polite to him and always maintained a sense of distance that didn't exist when she faced Su Junmo and the others.

The rich starlight from the brilliant night sky fell upon the Starfallen Sea, giving Meng Qi's skin a soft glow that seemed to emphasize her beautiful countenance. She stood side by side with the flamboyant Sikong Xing — one was as gorgeous as the red plum blossom in full bloom, and the other was like an elegant orchid in the quiet valley. Both were brilliant, but it was impossible to tell who was more beautiful than the other.

Looking at Meng Qi's clear and cold eyes, Xue Chengxuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. When they met for the first time in Fentian City, the girl was not as alienated towards him as she was now. The two actually hit it off at the first meeting and had a lot of conversation, especially when he brought up Pei Mufeng of Xingluo Pavilion. He and Meng Qi had many common interests, and Xue Chengxuan was even a bit regretful that they hadn't met earlier. It was for this reason that he generously gave Meng Qi the formula of Jiuhuanyang Pill and the Yinyue sword technique despite their short acquaintance.

Even at the time, Xue Chengxuan already understood that such an encounter was both rare and precious. Once they went on their separate way, he and Meng Qi would at most become a passing acquaintance, and there was nothing he could do about that. After all, he was born as the eldest son of the Xue Clan Head, and he had too many duties to shoulder under the high hopes of the family elders.

Sure enough, soon after that, he and Meng Qi parted ways.

But he never expected the string of incidents to happen in Xingluo City. After a big turnaround, he was reunited with Meng Qi.

Xue Chengxuan recalled Ji Wujiong's mocking remark just now. Although his father didn't say it directly, as a son and heir, he knew very well with what eyes the Xue Clan, the entire Feng Alliance, saw Meng Qi now. As the first person to pass all the Great Tournament's challenges, enter the fourth hidden level, and finally get the approval of the remnant of Lin Yan's will, Meng Qi's value was innumerable for the current medical society.

Even if his family didn't have such an idea, the remaining three clans of Feng Alliance were probably already eyeing her in the dark, not to mention other sects in the Medical Society Alliance who also knew the secrets of the Apricot Forest...

Xue Chengxuan's eyes narrowed slightly. From a certain point of view, it was probably fortunate that Meng Qi, for some unknown reason, accidentally fell into the Starfallen Sea right after she left the Grand Tournament Barrier. If she was still in Three Thousand Worlds, it was no exaggeration to say that a group of the best and most outstanding young disciples of the ten major medical sects would have been rushing to her right now, eager to show her their best side and make her fall for them.
