Supreme Divine Physician in the City-Chapter 1419: Being Watched

Elder Xuan practiced the Gu Technique for over thirty years and reached the level of an upper-level Gu Master only after turning forty; now, over fifty, he still cannot break through the late stage of this level.

As for some upper-level poisonous insects with terrifying lethality, even he cannot control them.

Outwardly, Elder Xuan’s martial power seems to be at the early Hua Realm, and he even appears old and frail, halting progress in the Gu Technique.

However, this is enough; facing a mere young man at the Dark Energy Stage is like dealing with a child in his eyes.

As the clock on the wall ticked and tocked.

The sound of the hour signal echoed in.

Elder Xuan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the clock—it was already seven o’clock.

At most, it would take half an hour for the journey.

Why isn’t Ge Xiaoying back yet after such a long time?

Elder Xuan frowned slightly.

Just as he was thinking of calling Ge Xiaoying, he suddenly heard the sound of a terrain vehicle outside, stopping at the villa in the middle.

Elder Xuan let out a slow breath; Ge Xiaoying was fine, and that was good.

Throughout his sixty-odd years, Elder Xuan had accompanied poison, having no wife nor children.

However, at thirty, he adopted Ge Sang, who had just been born, treating him as his own; at forty-five, he adopted Ge Xiaoying, and was utterly astonished by her talent.

It could be said that Elder Xuan’s life was also full of pitfalls; his once true love, upon discovering his practice of Gu Techniques, abandoned him completely and followed a wealthy young man.

In the end, the two did not survive; they were devoured, centipedes piercing through their hearts.

As for Ge Sang and Ge Xiaoying, they were dear to his heart; even in the Southern Border, they held positions akin to Elder Xuan himself.

Everyone understood that they were Elder Xuan’s disciples, or could be considered his children.

However, not everyone who practiced Gu Techniques was as malicious as the Ice Demon Elder, once killed by Ye Xuan.

At least, Elder Xuan never harmed ordinary people. As he said, people from the Southern Border never provoked others, but if others provoked them, they would not be afraid.

Meanwhile, Ge Xiaoying had reached the entrance of Elder Xuan’s door and lightly knocked.

"Master, are you there?"

Ge Xiaoying’s lively voice came through, completely different from when she was in Zhuang Yu’s villa.

She understood that Zhuang Yu was the enemy who killed her senior brother, but she kept herself calm, obeying Ye Xuan’s words.

"Come in, Xiaoying."

A rare smile appeared on Elder Xuan’s face.

Nothing happened to Ge Xiaoying; that was her biggest fortune.

Cre-eak!

As the door slowly opened, a girl in Miao Clan attire, wearing large sunglasses, appeared in Elder Xuan’s sight.

Ge Xiaoying took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes red from crying, which Elder Xuan noticed.

"Xiaoying, what happened to you!"

Elder Xuan stood up in shock.

"Master, I’m fine. Where’s our medicine cabinet? I need it first," Ge Xiaoying said anxiously.

"It’s in the cabinet over there. Xiaoying, are you poisoned? What’s wrong with your eyes? Why can’t I tell what kind of poison it is! Hurry, tell me properly, and I’ll think of a way."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan became anxious, unable to hide his worried demeanor.

Ge Xiaoying already had the medicine cabinet out, retrieving a small bottle filled with tender green herbal leaves.

This was a very precious herb, Wild Gastrodia, extremely effective for reducing swelling and inflammation.

Ge Xiaoying took a few leaves, chewed them carefully in her mouth, then lay down beside Elder Xuan, gently applying them to her eyes.

"Ptooey, it’s so bitter."

After applying the medicine, Ge Xiaoying couldn’t help but complain.

"Xiaoying, isn’t this a poisoning? Why are your eyes so red!"

Elder Xuan inquired anxiously, unable to fathom what had occurred.

"Ma... Master..."

Ge Xiaoying hesitated to explain, overwhelmed by embarrassment at having been scared to tears.

"Xiaoying, hurry up! Don’t make your master worry." Elder Xuan was anxious, pacing around in circles.

"Master, I saw Ye Xuan... I got scared, so scared I cried."

Ge Xiaoying’s face flushed deep red. It was so humiliating! So humiliating!

After cultivating for so long, it was the first time she was frightened to tears!

"Whew... I was scared; I thought you were poisoned by something strange. Turned out, scared to tears... Hmm? Scared to tears?"

Elder Xuan initially showed no reaction, but upon repeating the phrase—scared to tears?—he was utterly dumbfounded.

Ge Xiaoying lay there with her eyes closed, nodding slightly as if at her wit’s end.

"Xiaoying... is that Ye Xuan really that scary?"

Unable to resist asking, Elder Xuan on the other hand didn’t know what else to inquire about.

"Well, kind of..."

Ge Xiaoying could only respond in a low voice.

Her face was thoroughly flushed red.

It was inevitable! Too embarrassing!

A female assassin sent to kill someone was frightened to tears by her ’prey.’

"Xiaoying, tell your master what really happened."

Elder Xuan was anxious; his disciple’s vengeance must be exacted!

"Ma... Master, that Ye Xuan was so frightening, boo hoo..."

Ge Xiaoying whimpered; her nose twitched, and she threw herself into Elder Xuan’s arms.

This alarmed Elder Xuan; he knew how strong his female disciple was.

Since childhood, learning Gu Techniques, and facing a lower-level poisonous insect for the first time at seven or eight with the King Scorpion that stung her, it was her first time crying.

But since then, for over ten years, Ge Xiaoying’s heart had grown stronger. No matter what poisonous insects she faced, she hadn’t cried again, but now...

Moreover, not only her but even the little emerald green snake clinging to Ge Xiaoying’s arm peeked out its head, sensing her fear and trembling uncontrollably. Whether it was saddened for its owner or likewise frightened was unknown.

If it was the former, that was acceptable, but if it was the latter... Elder Xuan felt confused and dared not think further.

"Xiaoying, don’t be afraid. Your master will deal with him for you."

Elder Xuan patted Ge Xiaoying’s shoulder and said gently.

"Master, the information was incorrect." Ge Xiaoying stopped crying and whispered to Elder Xuan.

"That Ye Xuan, his strength is formidable, stronger than mine; I need your help."

Just as Ye Xuan had said, beware of eavesdroppers.

Unbeknownst to Ge Xiaoying and Elder Xuan, a hidden camera invisible to the naked eye was installed in the lower right corner of their room.

At that moment, in the large villa at the Zhuang Family’s estate.

A man in a beige trench coat was wearing headphones and watching the screen—it was the eldest young master of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yu.

He was watching every move in Elder Xuan and Ge Xiaoying’s room!

Their conversation was heard loud and clear by Zhuang Yu, whose face broke into a cold smile.
