"I just wanted to see if someone as cold as you could ever be shy."
She paused deliberately, lightly touching his burning earlobe with her fingertips, her voice full of triumphant laughter: "Looks like... you can be shy too."
"I don't!"
Mu Qinghan turned his head sharply, his tone tense, but he didn't push her away.
"I just feel that there are differences between men and women, and such behavior is really inappropriate."
"Is that so?" Tu Shan Ya Ya leaned closer, her warm breath almost touching his lips, and smiled mischievously.
"But...you didn't refuse just now."
Mu Qinghan was speechless at these words and couldn't find any rebuttal for a moment.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding."
Seeing that he was really getting anxious, Tu Shan Ya Ya finally took a step back, her tone slightly teasing, "You always call me a stupid fox, but it turns out you're so easily amused."
"Alright, alright, Mu Bingkuai, stop explaining, I understand, I understand."
………………
How can I best describe you?
Chapter 62 Don't force me to beg you
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell onto the bed. Mu Qinghan looked at Dongfang Guyue lying quietly, slightly surprised.
Two days ago, the old man was emaciated and pale, but now he has a rosy complexion and is breathing steadily.
The loose, plain-colored robe bulged slightly at the waist.
He's even developed a little belly?
As expected of the Medical Sage Cui Yuling, her methods are indeed formidable.
Seeing Mu Qinghan's slightly surprised expression, Cui Yuling smiled slightly and then coughed lightly.
"Cough cough, don't be fooled by his seemingly fine appearance now. The underlying illness hasn't been completely cured; it's just been temporarily suppressed."
“If this situation goes wrong even slightly, it could be disastrous. He will need to stay here for at least another month to recover before we can take him back.”
Cui Yuling spoke calmly, but upon opening her eyes, she saw Mu Qinghan's scrutinizing gaze. Her face flushed, and she waved her hand.
"Will it really take that long?"
"Oh my, I'm the Sage of Medicine, who else would you believe if not me?"
"But……"
Mu Qinghan frowned slightly, his clear eyes reflecting the figure of Dongfang Guyue.
“I can see that the toxins in his body have been completely eliminated, and even the blockages in his meridians have been cleared up.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Yuling suddenly looked up, frowning as she stared at Mu Qinghan.
"How is that possible? You can see directly inside someone else's body?"
"At most, you can see the flow of magical energy within someone's body, how can you directly see their meridians and bones?"
"Besides, this old man has powerful magic; even I can only sense it through his pulse. You can tell just by looking?"
Mu Qinghan met her shocked gaze and simply nodded slightly: "Yes, I can see."
Cui Yuling gasped, her eyebrows furrowing as she circled Mu Qinghan halfway around.
"What kind of magic did you use? Which family's secret technique is it?"
"In all my years, I have never heard of anyone who can see through a cultivator's internal organs with the naked eye!"
"It's not magic, it's innate."
Mu Qinghan's tone remained calm; in his eyes, this was a perfectly normal thing.
Just like some people are born with good eyesight and some are born with keen hearing, they are simply able to see what others cannot see inside their bodies.
Isn't this... quite normal?
"Oh my god..."
Cui Yuling stared at Mu Qinghan for a long time, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She grabbed his wrist and spoke urgently.
"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent and are a good candidate for medicine. Why don't you come and learn medicine from me?"
Mu Qinghan gently withdrew her wrist and shook her head: "I don't want to."
"Ah ah ah..."
Cui Yuling was so anxious that she stomped her feet, no longer caring about her image. She tugged at Mu Qinghan's sleeve and shook it, her tone pleading.
"Please, I beg you! Studying medicine is so wonderful! You can save lives, and you can... you can know whether you're feeling well at any time!"
Mu Qinghan remained unmoved, simply repeating, "I won't learn."
Mu Qinghan frowned slightly and took a step back with a hint of disdain.
Cui Yuling didn't care about this at all. She had lived for so many years and had already pushed her medical skills to the limit, leaving no room for further improvement.
Now, Mu Qinghan's existence might allow her to see an even higher level of scenery, how could she not be excited?
If there hadn't been other people around, she would have almost knelt down and begged him to let her teach her.
“Sister,” Tu Shan Ya Ya’s fox ears twitched gently. She held a candied hawthorn in her mouth and tugged at Tu Shan Hong Hong’s sleeve.
"What's wrong with Sister Cui? Is Mu Bingkuai's ability really that powerful?"
Tu Shan Honghong looked at Mu Qinghan, slowly shook her head, and her voice was somewhat solemn.
"I don't know what this means in terms of medical skill."
"But think about it, if you could be like him, able to see through the opponent's meridians and bone gaps at a glance, and only need to target the opponent's weak points in the meridians during battle, even the strongest opponent would be completely restrained."
"Wow... is it that amazing...?"
Terrifying swordsmanship talent, extremely deep cunning, powerful backing, not to mention this kid is also extremely handsome and has this special ability.
No wonder... some people call him a "monster".
Tu Shan Honghong felt that if this boy became Tu Shan's enemy in the future, it would be a huge disaster for Tu Shan, even...
But then she looked at Ya Ya, whose eyes were sparkling, and her mood improved considerably.
With Ya Ya in the middle, Mu Qinghan's attitude towards Tu Shan shouldn't be too bad.
He might even... help them... achieve their long-cherished dream.
As they were talking, Tu Shan Rongrong quietly approached Ya Ya, holding two exquisite silver bells in her hand.
The bell has the words "Qinghan" and "Yaya" on its body, and light blue runes are embedded in the patterns. If you get close, you can smell a very faint sandalwood fragrance.
“The calming bell you asked me to make last week,” she said in a very low voice, her fingertips lightly touching the bell, “I added forget-me-not juice and a calming talisman to it, so it can help… your 'little ice cube'… calm down.”
Tu Shan Ya Ya's ears turned red instantly. She quickly snatched the bell and stuffed it into her bosom, pretending to straighten her clothes.
"Okay, thanks Rongrong."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qinghan turned her head and looked over. She immediately straightened her back and pretended to be nonchalant as she ate a candied hawthorn.
Seemingly feeling a little awkward, she turned her head to meet his gaze, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and glared at him fiercely.
Like a little fox with its fur standing on end, it tried to hide its panic with a fierce look.
Huh? What's wrong now?
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of confusion hidden in his eyes.
They were fine just a moment ago, why did they suddenly start giving each other the cold shoulder?
Mu Qinghan didn't look at her again, turned to face the Tu Shan group, and spoke calmly.
"Since the old patriarch of the Dongfang family is out of danger, then Qinghan will take his leave."
He bowed slightly, his posture respectful, "These past few days I have been fortunate to be entertained by Tushan, and I am especially grateful to the Holy Physician Cui for her painstaking treatment. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to help Dongfang Guyue. Just as his fingertips touched the old man's sleeve, a slender figure suddenly approached.
Tu Shan Ya Ya gripped his forearm, her fair fingers tightening slightly. Her usually spoiled face showed a hint of grievance, and even her voice softened.
"wait."
Mu Qinghan was startled and subconsciously tried to break free, but seeing the tears glistening in her eyes, he swallowed back the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue.
He watched the girl pull him away as she walked out, her skirt sweeping the ground. In the end, he slowed his pace and let her lead him through the gate.
The sunlight outside the hall was just right, shining on the road and casting two figures side by side.
Tu Shan Ya Ya stopped and slowly released her hand, the warmth of his sleeve still lingering on her fingertips.
Mu Qinghan stood opposite her, sunlight falling on his shoulders, outlining his slender and upright profile.
He didn't speak, but just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak.
Chapter 63 Farewell
A morning breeze carrying the fragrance of Tu Shan's flowers swept by, and Tu Shan Ya Ya looked at Mu Qing Han, her voice very soft.
"You...you're really leaving?"
Mu Qinghan's response remained concise, but when his gaze fell on her slightly drooping fox ears, his tone unconsciously softened.
"Can't you stay one more day? I'll show you some of the beautiful scenery of Tushan that you've never seen before."
"No, I'm leaving today."
His tone remained calm, yet it was as if a switch had been flipped.
Tu Shan Ya Ya suddenly looked up, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears, and even her voice trembled with a hint of grievance.
"You...you really dislike Tushan that much? Can't you even stay for one more day?"
"Or... do you really dislike being with me?"
A glistening tear clung to the corner of her eye, poised to fall. Looking at her, Mu Qinghan felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a suffocating sensation.
