Chapter 380: Chapter 242: Identity Exposed
"If we donât remove the arrow, this child is doomed," Doctor Fan grew impatient. Although the Little Ciâen Hall was ultimately under Yun Shengâs control, today Yun Sheng was absent, and among the doctors present, he was the most authoritative.
Doctor Fan didnât particularly dislike Ji Mo, but he thought the young man spoke too little and was a bit too cold.
"She canât withstand it. The arrowhead is only an inch away from her heart and lungs, and after traveling some distance, her vital energy has already been depleted. Pulling out the arrow now would be tantamount to killing her with our own hands," Ji Mo replied calmly.
"How can you..." Doctor Fan started to ask, but Ji Mo had already picked up Xiao Yun and headed towards the back yard.
"Hey, lad, donât just walk away. What do you plan to do? Donât mess around," Doctor Fan had no choice but to follow, but to his surprise, Ji Mo went straight into his own room and locked the door.
"Doctor Fan, donât stop Ji Mo. Divine Doctor Yun once said that if sheâs not around and something happens, leave it to Ji Mo to handle," Lin Yaoâer didnât know that Yun Sheng had begun to doubt Ji Moâs identity. She just knew that before Divine Doctor Yun left this time, she had said that if the clinic encountered a difficult patient and Doctor Fan wasnât confident in treating them, to leave it to Ji Mo.
Initially, Lin Yaoâer was somewhat puzzled - could an ordinary Magician really be more capable than Doctor Fan?
Seeing that there was no movement from Ji Moâs room, Lin Yaoâer and Doctor Fan couldnât just wait around and did nothing, so they went back outside the clinic and moved the severely injured Green Bat into the clinic.
After an examination, Doctor Fan found that the Green Bat had suffered from Magic Attacks as well as arrow wounds.
"All the Medicinal Herbs are gone, and this time, there should have been ten Giant Winged Bats transporting the herbs, but now only one is left. Iâm afraid..." Lin Yaoâer didnât continue.
She and Doctor Fan already knew that something major must have happened during the transport of the Medicinal Herbs.
Doctor Fan continued to wait in the clinic, while Lin Yaoâer left the city during the night in search of Yun Canglang from the Sky Hunting Corps.
After receiving the news, Yun Canglang quickly led a group of Hunter Soldiers towards Zhou Chu Village.
At the foot of the mountain near Zhou Chu Village, they discovered a large number of villagersâ corpses and the Medicinal Herbs had been plundered.
During this time, Doctor Fan was still waiting at the clinic.
The door to Ji Moâs room opened, and he came out alone.
His face, usually unremarkable, now carried a hint of weariness, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Whereâs Xiao Yun?" Doctor Fan rushed into the room impatiently, only to see Xiao Yun sleeping soundly on the bed. Her previously pale complexion was now rosy as if she was just a child who had fallen asleep after playing too much.
The arrow that had been in her back was gone, and so were the bloodstains and the wound.
Seeing this, Doctor Fan was stunned for a moment before he walked out of the room.
Ji Mo was standing in the courtyard of the clinic, bathed in moonlight that was as white as snow, which shone on the young manâs face.
His face, which was unnoticeable during the daylight, appeared to have a special charm under the night sky.
"Who exactly are you?" Doctor Fanâs expression was serious as he stared at Ji Mo.
Such a Healing method was beyond the capabilities of Ancient Medical Skill and also not something an ordinary Magician could achieve.
On the entire continent, there was only one type of Magic that could achieve such an effect, and that was Light Magic.
Furthermore, judging from Xiao Yunâs recovery, Ji Moâs cultivation in Light Magic was definitely not weak.
"Ji Mo," Ji Mo did not wish to say more, turning around and walking away.
"Are you a Light Mage? Are you from the Magic Temple? Does Shengâer know your identity?" Doctor Fan pressed on. In his eyes, Yun Sheng was still a child, no matter how skilled her Medical Skill might be.
He did not wish for someone with ulterior motives to remain in the medical hall, nor would he allow Ji Mo to harm Yun Sheng, even though he had not detected even the slightest hint of hostility from Ji Mo.
Light Mages are generally people with righteous and open hearts, but even a slight threat requires Doctor Fan to take early precautions.
"She..." Ji Mo was about to answer when a knocking sound came from outside the medical hall, and Yun Canglangâs voice came from outside the house.
Doctor Fan furrowed his brows, "Boy, I donât care what your background is, if you dare make Shengâer sad, I, Fan Zhi, will be the first to not spare you."
Doctor Fan hurried to open the door, while Ji Mo remained silent, sighing softly after a long while.
If it wasnât a last resort, he wouldnât want to become enemies with Yun Sheng.
The past few months had been the happiest days of his life.
And his happiness was all because of the presence of a certain person.
Yun Canglang arrived with Xiao Yunâs father and a few other villagers.
"Doctor, my daughter she..." the village chiefâs eyes were red; he had already learned about the news of the villagers including Xiao Huaâs tragedy.
During the day, he had personally watched his son and daughter leave, but unimaginable to him, in just one day, his son was dead, and his daughter was seriously injured; these outcomes were nearly impossible for him to accept.
He didnât dare to tell the childrenâs mother the news, so he brought a few of the victimized villagers over himself.
"Xiao Yunâs injuries are already healed, thanks to... Ji Mo; please come in first, what exactly happened with this incident?" Doctor Fan let everyone in.
Yun Canglang told Doctor Fan of his findings.
They had carried out a thorough search at the location where the villagers were killed, but due to the time of day, the discoveries were limited.
However, they still found some disarrayed footsteps and some discarded weapons in the thicket and forests which showed that it was the work of a well-trained Hunter Soldier Team.
The villagers of Zhou Chu Village have always kept to themselves, and the village has always been poor, not even common thieves were willing to rob it.
For the Hunter Soldiers to commit such an atrocity, they must have been instigated by someone.
"Doctor Fan, do you have any clues about this matter? Shengâer is not in the city right now, and Ancestor Master is not here either; we must quickly clarify the whole story," Yun Canglang couldnât help but feel self-blame as he also knew that Yun Sheng had been busy managing the Magic Medicine Store recentlyâ he should have reminded her to be cautious.
Knowing Yun Sheng, if Shengâer learns that the villagers suffered tragedy due to her negligence, she will undoubtedly blame herself.
Doctor Fan did not respond, although he already had an answer in his mind.
"Letâs wait for Shengâer to come back and discuss this. Commander Yun, in the meantime, please have some Hunter Soldiers stationed in the village and at the foot of the mountain. Iâll entrust Xiao Yun to your protection for the time being."
Yun Canglang had no choice but to comply. He arranged for Xiao Yunâs father and the villagers to rest in the city, planning to wait a few days until Yun Sheng returned to make further plans.
After sending Yun Canglang away, Lin Yaoâer closed the gates of the medical hall; she still had to hurry back to the Royal Magic Academy.
Doctor Fan went to check on Xiao Yun again, ensuring that her condition was stable before he left.
The night was deep, but Doctor Fan did not rest; he walked out of the medical hall alone, heading in a certain direction of Yujing City.
It was already around the third watch, and the sound of the night watchmanâs gong could be heard on the streets of Yujing City.
Doctor Fan arrived outside the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
