All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 121 Remembering an Old Friend

"I'm not sick."

Murong Jiu remained indifferent, her expression cold and aloof.

Unlike ordinary people, she had cultivated the Fossil Divine Skill, which gave her a cool and aloof temperament. She didn't feel particularly strongly about such offensive words.

"No, you're sick."

Wang Gan frowned, his face filled with disbelief.

"Otherwise, if a woman sees me, the most handsome man in the world, and remains unmoved, you must be seriously ill."

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be something wrong with the martial arts you've been practicing."

Murong Jiu's heart stirred slightly.
This person talked nonsense at first, but what they said later was actually true; her symptoms were related to the martial arts she practiced.
Zhang Jing laughed upon hearing this.
"You are far from being the most handsome man in the world; you are more than just handsome. You can barely be considered a man."

Wang Gan, with his thick skin, stepped forward directly.

"To be honest, I've always been good at everything I do since I was a child, and I'm always number one. I'm known as the First Evil Emperor."

"Not only is he the most handsome man in the world and the greatest martial arts master, but he is also the greatest physician in the world!"

“Even the famous Yihua Palace, the Second Palace Master Lianxing, sought my treatment.”

Murong Jiu was finally moved.

Who in the martial arts world doesn't know the name of Yihua Palace? If this person really treats the Second Palace Master of Yihua Palace, he might truly be the number one divine physician in the world.

"You claim to have treated the Second Palace Mistress of Yihua Palace. How can you prove it?"

Murong Jiu spoke up,

Wang Gan calmly clapped his hands.

Suddenly, a woman of unparalleled beauty came into view, her temperament aloof and noble, even surpassing that of Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and a look of surprise finally appeared on her face.

It wasn't that she was stunned by the woman's beauty, but rather that the woman had been standing to the side the whole time without her noticing!
This level of martial arts skill, so silent and unassuming, has already surpassed hers by an immeasurable amount.

Lianxing glared at Wang Gan.
This man is really going too far, actually asking her, the second palace master of Yihua Palace, to come out and testify for him flirting with girls.

"Let me introduce you, my maid Lianxing."

Upon hearing the word "maid," Lianxing's expression turned slightly angry, but she ultimately said nothing, only glaring at Wang Gan.

Now, not only Murong Jiu, but everyone else was also dumbfounded. It turned out that the stunningly beautiful woman who had been following Wang Gan and hadn't said much was the legendary Second Palace Mistress of the Yihua Palace, and in the guise of a maid!

Little Fish scratched his head, feeling like his brain was about to burn.

Long ago in the valley, a mysterious person told him that the enemy who killed his parents was the Yihua Palace. Now he has a master who claims to be a sworn brother of Uncle Yan, but this master is also having an affair with the second palace master of the Yihua Palace. He might even have to call her master's wife or aunt.

So, does that mean he's also from the Flower Palace? My enemy is actually myself?

Damn, this industry is a mess!

Zhang Jing, however, thought about it more deeply.

She recalled that on the way, every now and then, Lianxing would follow Wang Gan to a secluded patch of grass to be alone with him, and every now and then she would let out a suppressed cry of pain.
That bastard wouldn't...
For some reason, Zhang Jing thought of the tingling, itchy feeling she had when Wang Gan slapped her.

"Well? Miss Murong, do you need any further evidence?"

Wang Gan smiled calmly.

Murong Jiu shook her head and sighed.

“The Palace Mistress Lianxing is exceptionally beautiful. I only met her once, but I already know that the legend of ‘inviting the moonlight in the deep palace and Zhang San Niang, a beauty outside the palace’ is well-deserved.”

"Having seen the Second Palace Mistress's stunning beauty, what other evidence is needed?"

"This miracle doctor...please come in."

Although Murong Jiu still didn't believe that there was any medical skill that could solve her martial arts problem, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

After all, Murong Jiu was still a young girl in her prime, and if she had a choice, she would not want to become a cold, lifeless stone statue.

"Ninth Sister!"

Zhang Jing quickly stopped Murong Jiu, "You actually believe this guy's words!"

"He's a complete bastard who talks nonsense!"

Zhang Jing gritted her teeth as she thought about what Wang Gan had done to her, yet found it difficult to speak out.

"I naturally have my own judgment."

Murong Jiu glanced at Zhang Jing, her tone calm.

“You led me here, and yet you are unharmed,”

"I now find your words less credible."

After saying that, Murong Jiu led Wang Gan and his group into the nearby Jiuxiu Manor.

Zhang Jing was left alone, stamping her feet in place. After all that fuss, she was now considered untrustworthy!
She felt like a clown in an opera!
Watching Wang Gan fawn over Murong Jiu, Zhang Jing felt a complex mix of emotions, including a bittersweet feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Jiuxiu Mountain Villa

The so-called "Nine Beauties" refers to the nine sisters born to the current head of the Murong family. Each of them is an exceptionally beautiful and talented woman, collectively known as the "Nine Beauties of the World."

The Murong family also used this opportunity to form marriage alliances with various forces. The partners they married were either martial arts families or high-ranking officials and nobles, so it can be said that their influence extended throughout the martial arts world and the imperial court.

Murong Jiu was the youngest of the "Nine Beauties of the Human World," and also the most intelligent and talented.
She had a high opinion of herself, and in order to make a name for herself in the martial arts world, she chose to practice the "Fossil Divine Skill," a divine skill with too many drawbacks.

As soon as Wang Gan entered, he saw a pretty man who looked like a girl waiting at the door.

"This is Doctor Wang, the guest I invited."

Murong Jiu introduced,

Gu Renyu bowed respectfully to Wang Gan without any hesitation.

"Greetings, Physician Wang. My name is Gu Renyu."

Wang Gan looked Gu Renyu up and down.

He knew that Gu Renyu was Murong Jiu's cousin and fiancé, a shy and timid young man who only feared Murong Jiu. In the original novel, he was also Zhang Jing's first wife.

"So you're called 'Jade-Faced Divine Fist'?"

Gu Renyu blushed as Wang Gan scrutinized her, and said politely,
"These are all titles given to me by senior figures in the martial arts world out of kindness; they shouldn't be taken seriously."

Wang Gan spoke with a tone of reminiscence.
"What a coincidence, seeing you is like seeing an old friend. His nickname is also 'Jade-Faced Divine Fist'."

Gu Renyu was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah."

"Then this old friend must have had a very good relationship with Doctor Wang."

Wang Gan said calmly.
"The relationship is not bad, it's a relationship between humans and ghosts who are from different worlds."

Gu Renyu's face stiffened. "Humans and ghosts are on different paths. Can that be used to describe a good relationship?"

"Mainly because he interrupted my meal once and was quite arrogant, but luckily I'm not one to hold grudges,"

"Just cripple him, and then forgive him."

What Wang Gan remembered was Qin Zhong, the "Jade-Faced Divine Fist" of Little Li Flying Dagger.
Although he only crippled Qin Zhong at the beginning, his father "Iron-Blooded Shakes All Directions" was later killed by Wang Gan, and his identity as the Plum Blossom Thief was exposed. Since Qin Zhong himself was a cripple, he would definitely not be able to survive in the martial arts world.

"It's a pity his father later offended me and I killed him. This 'Jade-Faced Divine Fist' probably won't live much longer either..."

Wang Gan sighed, "Life is unpredictable."

Little Fish thought to himself, "That devil is trying to scare people again."
No, this guy is definitely capable of killing someone's entire family and then trying to maintain a virtuous image!
"This"

Gu Renyu's face turned bright red. He was naturally shy, and faced with such a dreadful topic, he truly didn't know how to respond.

Moreover, after Wang Gan said that, even this "Jade-Faced Divine Fist" was terrified.

“I’m a sentimental person, and after this incident, I’ve always felt a sense of familiarity with the name ‘Jade-Faced Divine Fist’.”

"We hit it off immediately!"

Wang Gan laughed and patted Gu Renyu's stiff shoulder.
