NOVPUBHearing Zhang San’s words, Shen Roujia didn’t feel uncomfortable but rather more at ease.
“Alright, I’ll just wait then.”
Xi Lan looked at the group of people in black in front of him, feeling a bit speechless, “What business do you have, coming to the Divine Doctor’s Valley at night?”
The leader of the group removed his cloak, rested a hand on his shoulder, and greeted Xi Lan with halting Chinese, “Divine Doctor, please help save our lord.”
From the accent, Xi Lan could tell they were from the Northern Border. As for their exact identity, the current situation made it clear without needing to ask.
Wei Rui observed the group, noticing that one of them was supporting a man who appeared limp and unresponsive.
Xi Lan frowned as he examined them, “There’s no need to be so tense. Since you’ve come seeking treatment, I won’t make things difficult. Please take the patient inside.”
The people in black exchanged silent glances, seeming to communicate without words, before one of them finally spoke, “Alright.”
The man they were supporting appeared to be a fairly robust middle-aged man.
Xi Lan noticed the man’s blackened lips and spoke slowly, “He’s been poisoned. Is there a wound?”
One of the people in black revealed the man’s arm, showing a deep, bone-exposing wound.
Xi Lan hissed, “This is going to be tricky.”
He asked everyone to step back, and when Wei Rui and Liu Ruyi saw that the situation was under control, they slowly left.
As for how Xi Lan treated the patient and who the patient was, they had no way of knowing.
It was said that those people stayed in the Divine Doctor’s Valley after that.
