Chapter 48: A Touch of Green on the Head

Liu Hua nodded slowly.

"Most likely, yes."

Li Moxuan said with excitement:

"I see."

Wasn't this just providing a pillow right when he felt sleepy?

He had been worrying about how to show his sincerity to Gu Yaqing and win back her heart.

So the crux of the problem lay right here.

Some of his masters were masters of medicine.

Although Li Moxuan might not be considered a divine doctor whose medical skills reached the heavens, he could certainly be regarded as a miraculous immortal physician.

That Daoist immortal acupuncture was a long-lost immortal medical art, and under the heavens, no mortal divine doctor could compare to it.

Even Li Moling's late-stage lung cancer could be cured in a matter of moments.

Gu Yaqing's daughter's rare leukemia would be a piece of cake.

"Alright, I understand!"

"You guys actually managed to do something useful for once."

Li Moxuan waved his hand casually.

A wisp of spiritual energy landed on Liu Hua's face.

Liu Hua's severely swollen face and the blood at the corner of his mouth instantly returned to normal.

This unfathomable and miraculous display left Liu Hua and Xiang Peng stunned in their tracks.

Xiang Peng stammered:

"Oh my lord, what kind of divine technique is this? Master Li, what realm are you actually in? Are you a martial artist? Why do I feel like even martial artists don't possess such means?"

Xiang Peng was extremely curious about Li Moxuan's true strength.

Li Moxuan merely said indifferently:

"I am not a martial artist!"

Not a martial artist?

Xiang Peng and Liu Hua's minds became even more of a muddled mess. If he wasn't a martial artist, could he be some even more transcendent existence?

Given their level of understanding, they simply could not fathom the meaning behind these words.

Li Moxuan took out his phone and dialed Gu Yaqing's number!

...

Meanwhile.

Inside an elegantly appointed upscale Western restaurant.

Gu Lang, Gu Yaqing, and Lin Mofei were sitting together, sharing a meal.

Because of the incident just moments ago, the atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Gu Yaqing's phone rang, and to her surprise, it was a call from Li Moxuan.

After a moment of hesitation and inner struggle, Gu Yaqing pressed the red decline button.

Lin Mofei frowned, asking with sensitive suspicion:

"Yaqing, whose call was that?"

Li Moxuan's sudden appearance had made Lin Mofei extremely paranoid.

Gu Yaqing offered a perfunctory excuse.

"Just a spam call!"

Lin Mofei simply nodded and did not ask further.

However, Gu Yaqing's expression just then had already given everything away—would a mere spam call require so much hesitation and inner conflict?

A raging fury surged within Lin Mofei's chest.

He even felt as though a vast expanse of lush green pasture had sprouted atop his head.

Any fool would know the call must have been from Li Moxuan.

This clown actually still dared to openly seduce his woman.

He was simply courting death!

Just then, a text message arrived on Gu Yaqing's phone.

It was still from Li Moxuan.

Gu Yaqing slowly moved her finger and, with slight hesitation, opened the message.

The words inside caused her heart to leap, stirring up tumultuous waves within her.

*Yaqing, I can cure our daughter's illness. If you trust me, I will wait for you tomorrow night in the same royal suite. Let's have a proper talk!*

At this point in her life, Xiaoxiao was far more important to Gu Yaqing than Li Moxuan could ever be.

If Li Moxuan truly had the ability to cure Xiaoxiao.

Not only would Xiaoxiao be able to grow up healthy and happy, but her life would also have been saved by her own biological father's hands.

Perhaps this was the best arrangement heaven could make.

Although Gu Yaqing still harbored resentment toward Li Moxuan, since he had shown such sincerity, she certainly wouldn't give up any chance to cure Xiaoxiao.

Gu Yaqing raised her head and looked at Lin Mofei.

"Lin Mofei, when will the divine doctor you invited be able to arrive?"

Lin Mofei subconsciously glanced at the phone in Gu Yaqing's hand.

"In the next couple of days!"

"Can he cure Xiaoxiao one hundred percent?"

Gu Yaqing's eyes were filled with urgency.

Lin Mofei pursed his lips.

"I can't guarantee that, but Master Lu Yuan is a medical expert invited from the secluded sect Xianyungu. I had to ask my sister Lin Wei to pay a tremendous price to secure his services."

"If even Master Lu Yuan cannot save her, I'm afraid no one in this world can!"

Lin Mofei intentionally placed heavy emphasis on the word "anyone."

From Gu Yaqing's words, he seemed to have guessed something.

He was also deliberately reminding Gu Yaqing not to have too much contact with Li Moxuan.

Otherwise, her daughter's illness might be put in grave danger.

"Alright!"

Gu Yaqing said no more, lowered her head, and continued eating.

It was said that Lin Mofei's sister, Lin Wei, had entered the apprenticeship of some secluded sect years ago.

She had even become a direct disciple of the sect, holding a quite prestigious status.

Only with such a status could one invite a medical expert from Xianyungu to take action.

Lin Mofei said to the two siblings:

"Brother Lang, Yaqing, you go ahead and eat. I'm going to the restroom."

After entering a stall, Lin Mofei's face, which had previously worn a warm smile, instantly turned chillingly cold and terrifying.

He took out his phone and called Donggong Chang.

"Hall Master Donggong, have you arranged the matter I mentioned to you yesterday?"

Donggong Chang said indifferently:

"Mn, I've already instructed Ning Xiao to handle it."

"Ning Xiao? The mid-Xiantian martial artist from the First Hall of the Raging Wind Hall?"

"That's right. Although Ning Xiao is only at the mid-Xiantian stage, his strength has improved recently. Dealing with a late-Xiantian expert wouldn't be a problem for him at all. That Li Moxuan is at most an early-Xiantian cultivator, so taking care of him will be as easy as turning over one's hand."

A vicious smile appeared on Lin Mofei's face.

"Good, then get rid of Li Moxuan as soon as possible. I don't want him to see tomorrow morning's sun."

"I'll do it as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mofei felt much more at ease.

He couldn't help but sneer coldly:

"Just a hick from some small countryside village, yet you dare to cast your greedy eyes on Lin Mofei's woman."

"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Since you are seeking your own death, you have no one else to blame."

...

After getting the information from Xiang Peng and sending the text message to Gu Yaqing, Li Moxuan left the Wushi Grand Hotel.

He walked in the direction of his home.

Barely a moment after stepping out of the hotel, the surrounding area suddenly fell into dead silence.

A dark shadow was stealthily closing in on Li Moxuan.

Li Moxuan sensed the other party's aura.

He raised his head and looked up.

He saw a middle-aged man dressed in black, wearing a sinister smile, slowly approaching him.

The man was suppressing his own aura to avoid letting Li Moxuan notice any clues. However, ever since Li Moxuan had stepped into the Golden Core realm, his spiritual perception had multiplied manifold.

In an instant, he saw right through the other's true cultivation level.

He was a mid-Xiantian martial artist.

In Wushi, he could already be considered a martial arts expert of some standing.

This person was none other than Ning Xiao, the expert from the First Hall of the Raging Wind Hall dispatched by Donggong Chang.

Li Moxuan unconcernedly let the man approach.

A haughty and arrogant smile hung on Ning Xiao's face.

He put on a condescending posture, scanning Li Moxuan up and down.

"You've got some nerve. When you saw me, you didn't even run?"

Li Moxuan retorted calmly:

"Why should I run? Are we playing hide-and-seek?"

From the very beginning, Ning Xiao had never taken Li Moxuan seriously at all.
