The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1676 Take Pulse

With her few sentences, it undoubtedly confirmed the guess in Elder Wu Peng and the rest's hearts.

They exchanged glances, and their faces weren't pretty.

Even though they came on this journey with another motive, they didn't feel much better when Rong Xiu and the rest were standing here in one piece.

Other than shock, they were even more confused. That man in the black robe was a legendary warrior! Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with them? What exactly happened in between that led to this result?

Can't figure it out. We really can't figure it out!

"You—" Nan Yiyi was annoyed once she saw Chu Liuyue. Now that she heard this, she was even more furious.

But before she could say anything, Elder Wu Peng stopped her. "You've misunderstood. We don't have much interest in your matters. The reason we came here is that we have something else to settle."

Chu Liuyue blinked as she surveyed her surroundings. "Oh? Could it be that the item you're finding is here?"

Once she said this, the few people opposite had their expressions change.

This shocked Chu Liuyue. Originally I was just teasing them and casually said it. Who knew that it seems to be true?

This time, she couldn't help but laugh. "It seems like I was spot on?"

"Our matters have nothing to do with you."

The mysterious disappearance of the man in black caused Elder Wu Peng to secretly fear Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.

Nobody knew what trump cards they had. At this point, it was best not to mess with them.

This was also why he was more polite in his words.

Chu Liuyue raised her brows. Originally, I really wasn't interested in their matters. But seeing that they are so nervous, I feel curious. These people have formidable backgrounds and have quite high standards. Something that can attract their attention… should be an incredible treasure, right?

However, I'm just curious. I'm currently in no mood to care about them. Finding Ancestor is the most important matter.

Hence, Chu Liuyue didn't continue arguing with them.

The corner of her lips curled up slightly. "It'll be the best if we stay in our own lanes. We have no interest in your business, and we hope you know what's good for you."

Then, the trio really turned around and planned to leave.

Elder Wu Peng and the rest still couldn't quite believe it. But seeing that they really looked like they were leaving, they couldn't help but be suspicious. Does Rong Xiu and the rest… really not know anything?

Nan Yuxing clenched his fists secretly. Seeing their backs, intense murderous intent flashed across his eyes. It's a pity that we're all injured, and Rong Xiu's abilities are hard to guess. If not… we should really make them stay here forever! I won't just let this matter slide! After leaving the God-Killing Tumulus and returning home, I have to—

"Oh right." Rong Xiu paused in his tracks, turned around, and looked over. His deep and clear gaze landed directly on Nan Yuxing.

Nan Yuxing's thoughts were instantly interrupted as he instinctively felt that he was covered in cold intent. A chill ran down his spine.

"Wh-what do you want?!" he asked sharply.

Rong Xiu's thin lips curled up. "Remember to go back and help me say hi to Nan Yifan."

Then, he turned around and continued walking forward.

The remaining Elder Wu Peng and the rest were dazed and fell into a long silence.

It was only until Rong Xiu and the others' figures gradually departed that Elder Bai Tong whispered, breaking the silence. "…Could it be that Rong Xiu really knows the family head?"

However, this isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that Rong Xiu is too casual when he talks about Master. It seems like… he doesn't really care about him. His behavior really doesn't seem like it as an act. At this point, what is the meaning of adding this sentence? Unless… he is really fearless—he dares to go against Master!

Nan Yuxing wanted to deny it initially, but he was not brainless. One just has to think about it casually to know that Rong Xiu definitely has reasons for daring to do this! However, I didn't really hear Father talk about it in the past…

"…Forget it, forget it! We'll talk about these things after we go back! Let's just find the item first and leave the place!" Nan Yuxing spoke in frustration. However, Rong Xiu's leaving sentence kept echoing in his mind, causing him to be uneasy.

…

After walking for a distance, Chu Ning turned around to glance and asked, "Yue'er, who are they?"

They seem like they have great enmity toward Rong Xiu and Yue'er…

Chu Liuyue smiled and said, "They're just irrelevant people. You don't have to care about them."

Seeing that she seemed relaxed and really didn't take those people to heart, Chu Ning heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he lightly patted Chu Liuyue's hand. "That's good…"

His palm was very wide, and his palm had calluses. It was slightly rough but especially warm.

Suddenly, Chu Liuyue was dazed and lowered her head to take a look. "Father?"

Chu Ning did not understand what was going on. "Hm?"

Chu Liuyue grabbed his hand and flipped it around. She looked at it for quite some time before she strangely asked, "Weren't there quite a few wounds on your hand previously? Why are they… all gone?"

I clearly remember that there were many new and old wounds, and two of them were especially serious. Even if he ate herbs and recuperated properly, according to his physique, he still needs a few more months to recover fully. However, not a long time has passed. Why… have these wounds disappeared?

Chu Ning knew that she was asking about this and instantly became hesitant. Actually, I know that Yue'er has always been meticulous and that I couldn't hide it from her for long. However… I really don't know what to say.

"Father?" Seeing his reaction, Chu Liuyue found it even more strange and became worried. This isn't normal at all. Could it be that Father—

Seeing that she was worried, Chu Ning hurriedly said, "Yue'er, don't worry. A-actually, this situation has happened a few times… I'm already used to it…"

"A few times?" Hearing this, Chu Liuyue was even more shocked.

"Yeah… So every time I'm injured, the wounds will heal on their own after a while. I-I don't know what's going on either…"

Chu Liuyue sized him up and shockingly realized that it wasn't just his hand—the other parts of his body had also recovered!

This…

Rong Xiu suddenly said, "Lord Chu Ning, could you let me take your pulse?"
