Li Yuan fully displayed the aura of an expert of his generation. He did not take the initiative to attack but stood at his original position waiting for Xiao Jiu'an to attack. However, Xiao Jiu'an did not take the initiative to attack.

One must know that in the past, Li Yuan was the number one expert in the Jianghu. After twenty years of training, his martial-arts were strong. Against such a powerful expert, Xiao Jiu'an still waited for him to make a move?

"Great Hero Li is too kind." Xiao Jiu'an leisurely retreated a few steps, then raised his sword and stepped forward. His movements were very fast, like floating clouds and flowing water, without even a trace of delay.

"No sect." The sword in Xiao Jiu'an's hand had never stopped moving, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. Every move he made seemed to be carefully crafted, regardless of angle or strength, and they were all remarkably tricky. No one could dodge them.

"No sect? Then you are truly a martial cultivation genius. Are you willing to take me as your Master?" Li Yuan's heart burned with passion, and he looked at Xiao Jiu'an the way a hungry person would when they looked at a plate of roasted chicken.

Xiao Jiu'an asked indifferently, "What can you teach me?" He did not think that Li Yuan had the qualifications to be his master, even though Li Yuan's martial-arts were higher than his, but compared to killing, Xiao Jiu'an was a hundred times stronger.

Li Yuan said, "I am willing to teach you everything I have learned. Although your techniques are sharp, it is a pity that your internal energy is mottled and messy. I can teach you and make you stronger." He was already old, and he still had many enemies. He needed a legacy, a disciple, who could avenge him.

"I refuse!" Xiao Jiu'an poured some pure Qi into the flexible sword, and after the sword spun, the Qi shot towards Li Yuan like a bullet.

With a *bang*, the bead that was condensed out of inner force struck Li Yuan's abdomen. The powerful force brought Li Yuan back several steps.

"You…" Li Yuan widened his eyes in shock and disbelief as he looked at Xiao Jiu'an.

He had just said that this person's inner force was mottled, yet this person had turned it into something material, even injuring him.

Though he was injured because he underestimated his opponent, this person still injured him. This kind of strength… it was far beyond his imagination.

"I don't need a Master." Although Xiao Jiu'an was confident, he was not arrogant or conceited. He was well aware of the gap between him and Li Yuan was only a fluke.

After forcing Li Yuan to retreat, Xiao Jiu'an did not stop for a moment. He turned around and left, like a great roc spreading its wings, and fled into the vast night.

*Whoosh, whoosh.* Upon seeing this, the guards who were trained by Li Yuan planned to chase after him, but were stopped by Li Yuan: "You are not his match." If they tried to chase them down, they would only be sending themselves to death.

"My Lord, what should we tell the Emperor?" To capture this person, they had waited for three months. If they did not capture him, how would they explain this to the Emperor?

"I will explain it to the Emperor." Li Yuan looked in the direction in which Xiao Jiu'an had disappeared and seemed to be deep in thought...

After successfully obtaining the Fire Lingzhi, Xiao Jiu'an did not delay any further. After circling the street twice and making sure that no one was following him, he then returned to Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

After changing into his nightclothes, he called Doctor Zhuge over.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" Doctor Zhuge was dug out from under his blankets, and his voice was still drowsy from sleep.

Xiao Jiu'an slightly frowned. The people around him were all elites, even though they had just woken up, they were at least a hundred times more spirited than normal. Someone like Doctor Zhuge was simply not qualified to be near him, but upon thinking about Doctor Zhuge's medical skills, Xiao Jiu'an endured.

After carelessly throwing the Fire Lingzhi to Doctor Zhuge, Xiao Jiu'an said with a cold expression, "Go and treat the Princess."

"This... this is the Fire Lingzhi?" Doctor Zhuge was flustered as he held the box. His eyes were wide open as he stared at it.

"Silence! No one else is to know!" Xiao Jiu'an warned coldly.

In Revelation, only the Imperial Palace had the Fire Lingzhi. The minute people found out that Ji Yunkai's legs were healed by the Fire Lingzhi, the Emperor did not even need to check to know who was it that barged into the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor was already fearful of him. If he let the Emperor know that he was strong in martial-arts and that he left and entered the Imperial Palace as if no one was ever there, the Emperor would most likely convict him of a bunch of crimes and directly sentence him to death.

Doctor Zhuge did not know what Xiao Jiu'an was thinking. He only thought that Xiao Jiu'an wanted to give the medicine to Ji Yunkai and he gave him a positive guarantee, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I will not tell the Princess about this." It won't spoil your surprise for the Princess.

Why else would he stress not to tell the Princess?

Xiao Jiu'an looked at Doctor Zhuge, seeing that he looked stupid, he could not be bothered to ask and waved his hand for his men to leave.

Doctor Zhuge carried the Fire Lingzhi as if it were a precious treasure and did not feel sleepy anymore. He carried the medicine box and went to the medicine dispensing room, and after he finished brewing the Fire Lingzhi, he started to mix the medicine until the dawn of the next day. Only then did he finish preparing the medicine that Ji Yunkai needed to use.

"I'm so tired." Doctor Zhuge punched his waist. He did not care about washing up or eating and directly went to find Ji Yunkai with the medicine he prepared. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he suddenly remembered Xiao Jiu'an's instructions, and immediately stopped smiling, and pretended to walk in seriously.

The maidservant just happened to walk out and saw Doctor Zhuge, who was more serious than usual. She was stunned for a moment and then remembered to greet him.

"Yes." To not break character, Doctor Zhuge kept a straight face and did not speak. He did not smile, and no matter how one looked at it… he looked like he was imitating the Prince, but it just did not fit him.

The servant girl laughed and then walked past Doctor Zhuge.

Doctor Zhuge was confused. He lowered his head and looked at himself, only to find that there was nothing abnormal. In the end, his gaze was fixated on the medicine in his hands, "Could it be, she managed to guess?" Was the surprise for the Princess gone?

Carrying the medicine, he walked into Ji Yunkai's room with a drooping head. Ji Yunkai had just finished her breakfast and was putting her hands on his legs, but when she saw Doctor Zhuge walked in dejectedly, she asked in confusion, "What happened?"

This doctor did not seem like a doctor. All sorts of emotions were displayed on his face. If the patient were to see him in such a state, they might think that they were terminally ill and could not be treated.

"Princess, I've prepared a new drug for you. Try it, it will be useful for your legs." Seeing Ji Yunkai's calm face, Doctor Zhuge guessed that she did not know and was simultaneously worried and happy.

To prevent Ji Yunkai from becoming suspicious, Doctor Zhuge tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth that were slowly raising and his sparkling eyes. However, he did not know that this made him look like he was weird.

"Sure." Ji Yunkai agreed without even thinking. Although she no longer held any hope towards her legs, she did not want to give up any opportunity to heal them.

Humans must have dreams; otherwise, what difference was there between them and salted fish?
