Thus,

Fang Yu's mission with the Xu family of the Northern Desert was essentially complete.

The Xu Family.

Outside the village.

Upon learning that Fang Yu and Chen Daotian were about to return, Clan Leader Xu Daoyun and eight priests all came to see them off.

This surprised the descendants of the Xu family greatly.

Given the status and positions of the clan leader and priests, why would they personally send them off?

This made everyone feel puzzled.

…

The Xu Family.

In a certain room.

Xu Huawen pushed his sister Xu Sisi in her wheelchair, persuasively saying: "Sis, the clan leader already said this was a misunderstanding. Plus, the clan leader asked me to escort Brother Yu back to Luli Sect. I couldn't refuse."

Xu Sisi sighed, "Your running off worried many about your safety, the Cultivator World is full of dangers right now. If you encounter danger with your level of cultivation, what would you do? Although the clan leader mentioned it was a misunderstanding between Mr. Fang and our Xu family, after all, misunderstandings have happened, can he fully protect you?"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Huawen laughed, "Sis, you're prejudiced against Brother Yu. He is not that kind of person... Even if we don't trust him, can't we trust the clan leader and the great priests?"

With this said.

A slight surprise showed on Xu Sisi's pretty face, a hint of loss appearing.

"What a pity, sister, you will have to spend your life in this wheelchair... otherwise, you wouldn't have had people look down on you. You've suffered a lot over the years."

"Sis, what are you talking about? You're my biological sister... If I don't take care of you, who will?"

Xu Huawen's eyes brightened, "Sis, I see Brother Yu is quite confident in his medical skills, why don't we ask him to try?"

Xu Sisi gently shook her head, hopeless:

"Alas, sister knows my condition well… even the shaman-doctors of the Northern Desert cannot cure it… how could he, an alchemist, manage to? Eighth Grade Elixir Pills aren't easy to make, and even if they were made, they might not work."

"Sis, we've already failed so many times, what's one more? Besides, Brother Yu is not just an alchemist, but also a doctor. And what doctors treat are cultivators!" Xu Huawen spoke.

Xu Sisi's pretty face startled, she said, "What? He is also a doctor?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you before?" said Xu Huawen.

"What grade is Mr. Fang as a doctor?"

She knew that her leg injury was no ordinary injury. The elixir pills made by alchemists are mostly used to enhance cultivation, with very few having healing effects, lacking specificity. But it's different for a doctor, if it's a high-grade doctor, there might really be a hope for healing.

"I really don't know that... should I take you to ask?"

Hearing this.

Xu Sisi hesitated a bit.

Distrusting others with a villain's heart, she felt guilty.

"Ah, sis, let me take you..."

Without waiting for her refusal.

Xu Huawen pushed Xu Sisi out.

…

Outside the village.

Under the respectful farewell of the clan leader and the eight great priests, the scene was lively.

Three majestic horses stood impressively on the path.

"Tell Xu to hurry up... we can't keep our guests waiting too long!" Clan Leader Xu Daoyun tilted his head and urged.

Just after he finished speaking, someone shouted, "They're here!"

Xu Huawen pushed his sister Xu Sisi slowly forward.

"Eh? How come Xu Huawen brought his sister out!?"

"His sister's leg injury is severe, she should avoid exposure to the elements, Xu Huawen is really thoughtless."

The descendants of the Xu family also didn't understand why this was done.

As the two approached.

Xu Huawen then bowed to the Clan Leader before speaking, "I apologize for my late arrival..."

Clan Leader Xu Daoyun replied, "Huawen, Mr. Fang specifically requested that you lead the way, you cannot afford to falter..."

Xu Huawen nodded and said, "Rest assured, Clan Leader..."

"Also, speak politely when talking to Mr. Fang, don't be so casual!" Xu Daoyun advised.

"Uh."

Xu Huawen disregarded the advice as if it were mere wind blowing past his ears. Being young, he thought too much formality in speaking seemed odd.

"Fang Brother, I have a favor to ask!"

Fang Yu's gaze moved from Xu Huawen's face and drifted away from Xu Sisi, guessing the gist.

"Speak."

"Last time you mentioned my sister's leg injury could be treated, is that really true?"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Daoyun furrowed his brows and rebuked, "Xu Huawen, how dare you speak to a guest in such a manner? Sisi's leg injury cannot just be claimed to be curable! All the renowned doctors of the Northern Desert have looked into it, don't you know it yourself?"

From their perspective.

Xu Huawen asking Fang Yu to treat his sister's illness was imposing and impolite.

The Great Sacrificial Rite also spoke, "Huawen, let that matter be... Mr. Fang has come from afar and he isn't here to solve your troubles!" He then turned to Xu Sisi and asked, "Sisi, what do you think?"

Xu Sisi nodded gently, quite disheartened.

"It was presumptuous of me... I apologize. I never thought my legs could be cured... Mr. Fang, please forgive Sisi's unreasonable request."

Fang Yu's gaze fell again on Xu Sisi.

Though she is Xu Huawen's sister, she wasn't much older, yet she carried a calm and collected aura.

Clearly, it was an aura hardened by enduring disdain and burdens through many years.

Such aura, Fang Yu had seen in Jiang Wei, in Ye Wenjun... and also in Xu Zhaopei.

"Who told you that your legs could not be treated?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

This counter-question left them speechless.

Fang Yu calmly continued, "I don't care what other doctors have said, but in my case... I have never mentioned that her legs can't be treated... On the contrary, I have given you options, if you're ready, take her to the Ye Family in Yanjing."

His confident, composed voice reached everyone's ears.

What does that mean?

Is it treatable?

Xu Huawen and Xu Sisi were secretly elated.

"Fang Brother, I just knew it could be treated! I don't want to wait ten days! I brought my sister out today because I wanted to return to Yanjing with you! You must cure my sister's legs!"

Chen Daotian stepped forward and gave his shoulder a pat, stating:

"I've always told you, no matter the patient, there's hope for a cure with Brother Fang…"

The Xu family youths watched in mild shock.

An illness that many famous doctors of the Northern Desert couldn't treat—he could?

The Clan Leader, stern-faced and both reasonably and emotionally, also hoped for Xu Sisi to be cured, as she was the highest talented youth in cultivation of their generation. It was truly a pity for her to be confined to a wheelchair all her life. That's why he sought help across the entire Northern Desert.

"Since Mr. Fang is willing to treat her, as the Clan Leader, let me express gratitude on behalf of Sisi!"

Fang Yu just smiled.

Xu Huawen looked excitedly at the horses on the narrow path and suddenly expressed a concern, "Fang Brother, there are only three horses, what should we do? Should Brother Chen Daotian run on the ground?"

"Quit it, I'm trying to help you, yet you're trying to make me suffer..."

Seeing their playful banter, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Xu Sisi also showed a slight smile, bright and charming.

Fang Yu then said:

"If Miss Xu doesn't mind, she could ride in front of me."
