35: Chapter 35 Manipulating Little Fairy Doctor! Xun'er: Let's watch your performance.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a guarded tone.

"Apologies, I haven't introduced myself yet." Xiao Ting smiled, his tone friendly. "I am Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family of Wutan City. I wonder if Miss Xiao Yi Xian has heard of it."

"Xiao Ting of the Xiao Family?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes showed signs of contemplation. "I recall the Xiao Family is one of the three great families in Wutan City. After arriving in Wutan City, I heard people discussing that the Xiao Family has produced two genius young masters, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan, who both possess the potential of a Dou Huang."

"The Xiao Ting they speak of is indeed me." Xiao Ting nodded slightly, his smile deepening. "Recently, the family put me in charge of managing a marketplace. One of the resident physicians at the pharmacy within the marketplace is quite old and has limited energy lately, so we need to find a new physician to take over."

"I heard from Miss Ya Fei of the Mittel Auction House that there is a physician among the Wan Yao Pharmacy team that provides medicinal herbs for them. She is young, possesses remarkable medical skills, and is well-loved in Qingshan Town."

"So, I took the liberty of arranging this little scene."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian felt a sense of relief wash over her.

Xiao Ting's arrangement was so crude that she didn't know whether she should "see through it" or "not see through it."

If she saw through it, she couldn't take the opportunity to join the Xiao Family and become one of Xiao Ting's people.

If she didn't see through it, she would appear stupid and arouse Xiao Ting's suspicion.

"Arranging this little scene?" A perfectly measured cold expression appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. "Was that injured person just now intentionally arranged by you to test me?"

"Don't misunderstand. It wasn't a test, but an assessment." Xiao Ting explained without changing his expression. "This old woman was carefully selected by me from the pharmacy. Her condition is complex and difficult to treat; even experienced physicians with good skills find it hard to cure her."

"I promised her that as long as she let you diagnose her, I would give her a Rank 1 healing pill to alleviate her condition."

"Only by keeping you completely in the dark could I conduct a comprehensive evaluation of you as a physician."

"Your medical skills and the kind heart you showed by extending a helping hand to a stranger have earned my approval."

"Assessment, approval?" Xiao Yi Xian's expression cleared slightly, but her tone remained unfriendly. "Finding me to be a resident physician should be a two-way choice. You approve of me, but I might not necessarily agree. I assume Young Master Xiao Ting wouldn't force me, right?"

"And if I were to force you, what would you do?" Xiao Ting asked with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian's expression stiffened. She thought to herself that this person didn't play by the rules, but she still replied with a hint of petulance: "When the situation is stacked against me, I would naturally have to agree. But after becoming a resident physician, if I were to ruin the reputation of the Xiao Family's pharmacy by treating a few patients poorly due to my young age and insufficient skills, thereby affecting the business of the pharmacy and the marketplace, I hope Young Master Xiao Ting won't be angry."

Oh, that's the spirit.

Xiao Yi Xian was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside; how could she let herself be manipulated?

"No, you wouldn't!" Xiao Ting smiled, looking like he had her figured out. His tone was certain: "You wouldn't hurt those injured people just to spite me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a healer, and you wouldn't have earned the love of the mercenaries in Qingshan Town."

"In the Xiao Family, you can receive better protection, treat the injured with more focus, and save even more people."

"Whether from the perspective of personal development or the benevolent heart of a healer to help more people, you have no reason to refuse me."

Xiao Yi Xian had to admit that Xiao Ting understood her very well and had found an excellent entry point.

Even without the journal copy, after hearing what he said now, she would have been moved.

Of course, this was assuming she didn't know about her Calamity Poison Body.

And for now, she truly "didn't know."

"I need to consider it." Xiao Yi Xian showed a hesitant expression.

"That's fine." Xiao Ting took out a token and tossed it to Xiao Yi Xian: "If you make up your mind, Miss Xiao Yi Xian can take this token to the Xiao Family and ask for me by name, or go directly to the Xiao Family pharmacy in the Third Marketplace on the West Street and find the manager."

"I believe you will definitely make the most correct decision for yourself and for others."

Of course I will make the correct decision.

Xiao Yi Xian reached out to take the token and turned to walk into the inn.

When she returned to her room, she let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if half of the heavy shackles on her had been removed.

As long as she went with the flow and agreed to become the pharmacy's physician, it wouldn't be long before Xiao Ting found a way to make her a guard.

Awakening the Calamity Poison Body and undergoing the perfect talent upgrade would all be completed under Xiao Ting's guidance.

It would be safe and wouldn't hurt any innocent people.

"Congratulations, Sister Xiao Yi Xian." The familiar, pleasant voice of a young girl came from the direction of the window.

Xiao Yi Xian turned her head and found Xun'er wearing a cyan dress, sitting sideways on the windowsill reading a book. Her hair fluttered gently in the evening breeze, and her profile looked as beautiful as a painting.

"When did you arrive, Sister Xun'er?" Xiao Yi Xian smiled and walked toward Xun'er.

Xun'er closed the book, turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian, and the corners of her mouth curved up: "When Brother Xiao Ting said he approved of you."

Xiao Yi Xian: "..."

Is it her imagination, or did Xun'er's tone sound sour?

"I didn't expect him to use such a crude method." Xiao Yi Xian suppressed her distracting thoughts and smiled: "But it is indeed more relaxed to be direct. I don't seem to have a reason to refuse either."

Qingshan Town was not her hometown, nor were there people or things she absolutely had to stay for.

It was just about healing the sick and saving people; where wasn't she a physician? Having the protection of the Xiao Family made it safer and more promising.

"It was indeed crude, and a waste of time." A flash of craftiness crossed Xun'er's eyes: "Sister Xiao Yi Xian, do you want to speed up the progress?"

"How?" Xiao Yi Xian looked curious.

Obviously, she also wanted to speed things up.

"Lean closer." Xun'er beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian obediently leaned in.

Two delicate faces overlapped in the moonlight.

Xiao Ting didn't know that the lilies in his hometown had bloomed; he returned to the Xiao Family in a pleasant mood.

The plan was proceeding smoothly. He felt that since Xiao Yi Xian was so smart, she would definitely accept the olive branch he had thrown out.

Once she knew she had the Calamity Poison Body and didn't want to hurt anyone, she would want to leave as if to escape.

But since he had two sets of plans to solve the Calamity Poison Body, it would actually make it easier to keep her.

At this thought, Xiao Ting wrote down what he had done and his thoughts in his Diary.

As a World Observer, such a unique individual like the Calamity Poison Body certainly had the value of being observed, recorded, and having their destiny changed.

[As long as Xiao Yi Xian isn't stupid, she will definitely accept my invitation.]

[Based on my understanding of Xiao Yi Xian, she is ice-snow intelligent.]

[The day the Calamity Poison Body awakens is when she becomes my guard.]

The women holding the copies: "..."

They thought he would set up many twists and turns, but it turned out he used such a direct method.

But honestly, the more direct and simple it was, the better. In the end, it was because Xiao Ting understood Xiao Yi Xian too well.

"What a pity, what a pity." Yun Yun regretted for the countless time.

If she, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, had invited her, she definitely wouldn't have been refused.

However, she wouldn't dare to actually do it if asked, as she would be suspected by Xiao Ting.

"With this time, it's better to go and take down a Soul Envoy of the Hun Clan."

[Little Xiao Yi Xian, easily manipulated!]

Xiao Yi Xian: ?

Who are you saying you manipulated?

Since when was it easy?

Without the journal copy, do you think anyone would pay attention to you?

Just because you are handsome and you are cheating!?

Feeling Xun'er's teasing gaze, Xiao Yi Xian's face heated up: "You say, should I refuse first, let him invite me a few more times, so I don't seem so cheap."

Xun'er blinked and smiled: "Understood, you like to play hard to get."

Xiao Yi Xian: ?

Whose side is this little sister on!?

In the blink of an eye, the time arrived past midnight.

As the new day arrived, Xiao Ting suddenly felt a tremor in his soul.

It was a tremor in the true sense!
