Yushi Town, inside the two-story building on the east side of the town.
Sect Leader’s Wife Zhao Ling of the Huangshan Sword Sect wore plain clothes, the design was ordinary, yet it could not hide her impressive body curves.
The Sect Leader’s Wife appeared to be gentle and frail, resembling the kind of woman who, after losing her husband and donning mourning attire, seemed easy to bully.
Many in the Martial World harbored similar thoughts, unfortunately, they all died.
Or rather, she herself enjoyed making others think that way, and then killing them.
A high-end hunter always appears as prey.
Therefore, there is an underground saying in the Martial World, that the seemingly gentle Sect Leader’s Wife of the Huangshan Sword Sect is, in fact, a black spider wearing a guise of tenderness.
You see her and want to gain something from her, but most likely you’ll end up with nothing and die an unnatural death.
After you die, everything you owned, not to mention even your whole family, could be implicated and meet an untimely end because of her.
There’s always been a saying in the Martial World, "Do not provoke a beauty who dares to show her face," probably because of people like the Sect Leader’s Wife.
And it was she who displayed her Dharma Image last night.
As the second most skilled practitioner within the Huangshan Sword Sect, second only to the Sect Leader, she is possibly even more dangerous...
Those in the know become alert upon seeing Mrs. Zhao Ling’s beautiful eyes.
Those are not the eyes of gentle vulnerability, but of restraint and inner brilliance, a true master among masters.
Her daughter Chen Ying was humiliated by Old Demon Duan, and the story of pissing on the golden sword has been turned into tales by numerous storytellers, a great humiliation for both the Huangshan Sword Sect and her as a mother, causing her heart to ache deeply.
She kills without batting an eye, takes pleasure in torturing others, but when it comes to her daughter being killed and tortured, it’s hard to accept.
This time her husband couldn’t come because he was in seclusion, so she brought about a dozen trustworthy disciples with her.
Soon, the favorite disciple of Mrs. Zhao Ling, Su Lingyi, returned.
Since Chen Ying married Zhu Heimian, she has treated this well-behaved female disciple as her own daughter, wishing to pass on all her skills to her.
"Back to your teacher, disciple has checked, there is no trace of Old Demon Duan within the Jade Sword Sect. It has always been rumored in the Martial World that Old Demon Duan moves mysteriously and prefers to act alone," Su Lingyi reported.
Lady Zhao Ling pondered and said, "In three days, once the Azure Dragon appears, we must seize the Dragon Essence."
Su Lingyi said thoughtfully, "But my Lady, the Dragon Essence..."
Zhao Ling’s gaze softened slightly and at the same time became firmer, as she said, "If I confront Old Demon Duan now, the outcome is uncertain. But if we obtain the Dragon Essence, or even just some Dragon Meat, it would be enough to change the situation."
"Old Demon Duan made my daughter piss on the golden sword; I want Old Demon Duan to be drenched, as for the cost of the Dragon Essence, I do not care."
"Your master is in seclusion, what I can do is avenge my daughter and ensure the reputation of the Huangshan Sword Sect does not fall!"
In that moment, the Sect Leader’s Wife’s eyes shone with righteousness, exuding a noble aura.
This suddenly moved the disciples of the Huangshan Sword Sect to red eyes.
The Lady was willing to sacrifice herself to fight against the Evil Demon Old Demon Duan, this selfless spirit is truly the essence of our Huangshan Sword Sect!
Being a doctor of the Compassionate Heart Medical Hall, the opening of the medical hall should have been a happy occasion.
But Duan Yun was not in high spirits.
Last night, a bunch of people recklessly released his Dharma Image, causing him to be called "Old Demon Duan!" by a frightened woman early this morning, who was then muzzled and dragged away by her companion as if they had seen a ghost.
Last night’s Dharma Image of the Jade Sword Sect was displayed like a repeated large screen advertisement, something that usually isn’t a big deal, as it’s normally only revealed during battle.
However, last night’s spectacle was different, revealing oneself to a dense crowd is regrettable for it is only his own fault for being too charming and leaving a deep impression on many.
Thinking that his new identity "Xu Xian" would be connected with "Old Demon Duan" before even receiving any guests, Duan Yun couldn’t be in a mood.
So he had no choice but to buy a half-face wooden mask to wear.
Considering the possibility of the Azure Dragon’s appearance in two days, he feared inevitable conflicts and bloodshed, making Duan Yun rather nervous.
Although he has been a Young Hero many times and has seen many things, it’s his first time facing such a situation as a doctor.
It’s natural to feel nervous the first time.
Sigh, these past days he’s been busy whitening the Murong brothers’ skin, removing Feng Ling’er’s moles, and making Xiatou Ying’s complexion even, neglecting to properly treat even one case of internal or external injury.
This left him feeling somewhat rusty.
This time, he should be focusing on surgery, but he’s ended up as a dermatologist.
Should he bring Old Guo back for some practice?
Besides, the cellar has been dug out already.
These days, not just Duan Yun, but also Shen Ying, Feng Ling’er, and the Murong brothers were feeling nervous.
Something as significant as the Azure Dragon Treasure, aside from the forces revealed yesterday, one could never know how many crafty old foxes are lurking; even with their formidable martial arts, ensuring their safety is not going to be easy.
Yet, only Duan Yun, Old Demon Duan, still enthusiastically runs a medical hall as a doctor.
Shen Ying analyzed, "It’s not without reason that outsiders like to see him as an Old Demon who enjoys his play-acting."
Indeed, even as the others felt some tension, only Duan Yun immersed himself in the role of a doctor, enjoying it without any sign of fatigue.
His tension lay only in whether he could properly perform his medical skills, not in the real and terrifying dangers outside.
It’s as if he’s truly become addicted to his role-playing game, unable to extricate himself.
