The pinnacle of the martial arts world

Chapter 55

—Whether it works or not, it all comes down to this.

Last night, the maid returned to Baili Wushuang's room. This morning, one of them packed Baili Wushuang's belongings, while the other combed her hair. Baili Wushuang rarely dressed up, and her clothes remained unchanged for ten years, always red and black.

Indeed, only she could match the dazzling red and the arrogance of the Wuman.

Jin Ge finished tying up the last strand of her long hair and couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, Physician Yang's hair is so beautiful. Holding it in my hand feels like holding a piece of satin. Physician Yang said that if you grind black sesame seeds into powder, mix it with tea tree oil to make a paste, and apply it after each hair wash, your hair will be as beautiful as his." The maid asked ingratiatingly, "Would you like to try it, Miss?"

"The Tang Clan Head's hands are so beautiful, it's a pity I didn't get to ask him how he takes care of them," Wu Ren interjected. "Both of them are handsome men."

"He's not quite handsome enough to be called a handsome man. Only someone like the young city lord could be called a handsome man, right?"

"Not everyone can compare to the young city lord..."

"Is the carriage ready?"

When the young lady spoke, Jin Ge Wu Ren quickly stopped talking.

Half an hour later, everything was ready, and the three of them arrived at the mountain gate, but Yang Luoxue did not come down the mountain for a long time.

Although they didn't see eye to eye, as the head of Medicine King Valley, he shouldn't break his promise. In particular, he wouldn't break his promise to Baili Wushuang, who, like him, represented one of the four major forces in the martial arts world.

After waiting a while, a person came down from the stone steps. He was extremely fast, like a cloud drifting down, and arrived in front of us in an instant. His face was gentle and his features were delicate. It was Tang Congrong. He said, "Luoxue is still sleeping. I'm afraid Miss will have to wait until the afternoon to set off."

"Still sleeping?" Baili Wushuang was a little surprised. These past few days, while they were both at the temple, Yang Luoxue was always the first one to get up.

"Yes, he was a little tired last night." He bowed slightly as he spoke. "I'm going back to the Tang Clan now. Miss, please come visit the Tang Clan another day when you have time."

Chapter 102

"We also invite you to visit Sading City."

The two heads of the household politely took their leave, and Tang Congrong flew away, his figure graceful and ethereal. His reputation as the best in lightness skill was well-deserved. Moreover, his breathing was calm today, unlike the chaotic state of the past few days; it seemed that the Divine Physician Yang had once again lived up to his reputation.

Baili Wushuang returned to the temple and knocked on Yang Luoxue's door.

It was quiet inside; everyone was fast asleep.

She changed from knocking to patting, and on the third pat, a weak voice came from inside: "Aren't you leaving yet? If you don't leave soon, you'll miss the birthday banquet."

“Peerless in the world,” she said simply from outside the door.

"Oh..." The voice was full of weariness, "I forgot that I still had to go to Sading City."

The sound of dressing came from inside, and the door was opened.

Baili Wushuang was stunned.

The face in front of me looked extremely haggard, with a pale complexion, completely unlike its usual fair and pure appearance.

"Tell your maid to pack my things." He yawned wearily. "I'm tired, I need to take a carriage."

"The carriage is at the mountain gate."

He nodded and went down the mountain, lifting the curtain and lying down with his head on the soft cushion. Baili Wushuang followed, opening his eyes slightly. "Is there only one carriage?"

"Yes, there is only one carriage, and I don't have the lightness skill to keep up with a horse. So please, I'm sorry to trouble you to ride in the same carriage as me."

Yang Luoxue smiled with her eyes closed. "I was afraid you would feel wronged. You are a woman, and it would be bad for your reputation to ride in the same carriage as a man."

"Reputation?" Baili Wushuang said calmly, "What is that?"

"Since I've known you, this is the only sentence that sounds relatively pleasant." Yang Luoxue opened her eyes and glanced at her, then immediately closed them again, not opening them again until lunchtime. She slept soundly, no matter how bumpy the road. Baili Wushuang shifted her sitting position, when suddenly Jin Ge tidied up his bundle with a "ding." Baili Wushuang frowned. "What's this?"

Jin Ge replied, "Bowls, chopsticks, teapot, and teacups."

"What do you want with all this?"

"This belongs to Doctor Yang. He said he doesn't like using things that others have used, nor does he like giving others things that he has used."

Oh, yes, I didn't notice at the time. When the three of them ate together, his bowls and chopsticks were different from hers and Tang Congrong's; they were white porcelain with very faint flowers painted on them, and the teacups that day were the same.

Does he carry his own bowl and chopsticks with him? He's definitely a doctor with some quirks.

The eccentric doctor rolled over in his sleep, revealing his wrist from his sleeve. Baili Wushuang noticed a small bruise on it, and upon closer inspection, realized it was a pinhole.

The needle mark was strange, resembling a tiny flower. Baili Wushuang was startled; she had seen this needle mark before.

At lunchtime, Yang Luoxue still looked like she was about to fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes. She picked up her chopsticks, looked at the dishes on the table, and then put them down.

Baili Wushuang asked, "Is it not to your liking?"

I'm a vegetarian.

Baili Wushuang instructed the waiter to bring another table of vegetarian dishes.

Yang Luoxue then picked up his ivory chopsticks, took a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth, then looked at her and asked, "Why has Miss become so easy to talk to?"

"You are my guest, so of course I should treat you well."

Why didn't you treat me well at the temple?

Chapter 103

"You were a guest of the abbot at that time."

"Then, hire another carriage—although you don't mind, I don't want to share a carriage with others—the cushions and curtains on the horse need to be replaced with new ones; I don't want to smell other people's lingering odors. Also, prepare a new quilt."

Baili Wushuang ordered his maid to do as instructed.
