Seeing Liu Ruyan disappear from her original spot, Liu Shuqin’s expression shifted slightly. He hadn’t expected Liu Ruyan to leave so simply, directly entering Medicine Immortal Valley.
“Valley Master, if we don’t know the Taiyan Divine Step, we won’t be able to enter!” the Lord of Cloud City said somewhat awkwardly.
“It’s fine. You all wait here. After I meet the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley, I will come out as soon as possible!” Lu Fan stated.
The Lord of Cloud City nodded slightly, not saying any more.
“Wait, take me with you!” Liu Shuqin said repeatedly, “I also want to see Lord Medicine King!”
“If you want to go in, you’ll have to rely on your own abilities!” Lu Fan shrugged. “After all, you and I don’t know each other, and there seems to be no need for me to help you, right?”
“You…”
Liu Shuqin’s face turned ashen. Being spoken to like that by Lu Fan made her feel uncomfortable. As the eldest daughter of the Liu family in Jiangbei, she had never been looked down upon like this before, which also made her feel very displeased.
Lu Fan, however, was indifferent. His gaze was detached, as if these matters were beneath his notice.
Lu Fan entered Medicine Immortal Valley in an instant. At this moment, Liu Ruyan’s figure had long since disappeared, leaving Lu Fan somewhat surprised. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He had seen Liu Ruyan enter. Under normal circumstances, Liu Ruyan should be here.
After walking for a long time in Medicine Immortal Valley, Lu Fan didn’t encounter anything unusual, nor did he see the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley, which made him very puzzled.
Meanwhile, in a bamboo forest, Liu Ruyan was tied to a bamboo tree, looking quite disheveled. Her mouth was gagged, and her spiritual energy was sealed.
“You little girl, you have quite the nerve, daring to barge into my Medicine Immortal Valley. Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?”
The old man, with a shifty gaze, looked at Liu Ruyan, appearing quite smug.
“Valley Master, another one has entered!” The young Daoist attendant from earlier walked in and quickly cupped his fists, saying.
“There are indeed those who aren’t afraid of death. Seize that brat for me as well!”
The Valley Master said coldly, appearing quite displeased. He was known as the Old Immortal Doctor, but he was also frivolous and never followed any rules. If someone forcibly entered Medicine Immortal Valley, he naturally wouldn’t let others run amok.
“Valley Master, don’t worry, I’ll capture him right away!” the Daoist attendant quickly nodded.
A while later, Lu Fan arrived at a forest and felt a dark shadow flash past, seemingly without a trace, with exceptionally extraordinary footwork.
“Stop hiding. I know where you are. It seems my friend has already been captured by you!” Lu Fan stated calmly, speaking at the same time.
“You brat, you’ve got some skill to be able to discern my location!”
The Daoist attendant, holding a horsetail whisk, slowly walked out, looking at Lu Fan. However, his gaze remained arrogant, not placing anyone in his eyes.
“It’s not that. I just know this secret method!” Lu Fan shrugged. “We’ve come with sincere intentions to seek medical treatment. We hope you can grant us some convenience!”
“You brat, your tone is quite bold. Do you know where you are?” the Daoist attendant said coldly. “Even a bird flying in would be slapped a few times. You have quite the nerve to force your way in!”
“The Old Immortal Doctor refused to see us, so we could only do this!”
Lu Fan said helplessly, his expression appearing indifferent.
“What a joke! Is my Old Immortal Doctor wrong for not wanting to help people with their ailments?”
With coldness in his eyes, the Daoist attendant said sternly, “There’s no need for you to say more. Things have reached this point, and it’s not something you can control. Surrender quickly, and perhaps you might suffer less!”
“That’s probably not possible!” Lu Fan shrugged. “If I surrender, won’t I be locked up by you!”
“Truly ignorant!” the Daoist attendant said coldly and charged at Lu Fan, appearing furious. He hadn’t intended to make a move, but since Lu Fan didn’t understand his words, he wouldn’t hold back.
At that very instant, the two began to fight. However, the Daoist attendant was sent flying back with a mouthful of blood spilling from his lips. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Lu Fan’s strength to be so formidable, which surprised him even more.
Most of those who came to seek medical treatment were his defeated opponents. Yet, Lu Fan was able to injure him, which was enough to show that Lu Fan’s strength was extraordinary and that he was no ordinary person.
“I truly didn’t expect your strength to be this great!”
A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and the Daoist attendant looked at Lu Fan. “However, do you know that some matters are of great importance, and not something you can decide alone? Now that you’ve struck me, my Valley Master will never let you off!”
Facing these words, Lu Fan was unfazed. A smile appeared on his lips: “You made the first move, not me. Naturally, you can’t blame me!”
The Daoist attendant made no defense and turned to leave, appearing furious and deeply displeased. After all, being treated like this, how could he accept it?
Seeing the Daoist attendant leave, Lu Fan also frowned. If he guessed correctly, he had probably caused trouble today.
After injuring the Daoist attendant, how could the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley easily let him off? Furthermore, he wouldn’t help with the treatment, which made things even more troublesome.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan’s expression became even more serious. After all, this matter was of great importance. To save Steward Zhao, he wouldn’t hesitate to disregard everything else.
Within the purple bamboo forest, the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley was looking at Liu Ruyan when the Daoist attendant rushed in, his mouth bloody and looking somewhat disheveled.
Seeing this scene, the Valley Master frowned: “What’s going on? Why are you injured?”
“That brat is truly powerful. I’m no match for him!”
Full of helplessness, the Daoist attendant said repeatedly, appearing quite indignant.
Upon hearing these words, the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley was instantly enraged: “How audacious! Trespassing into Medicine Immortal Valley is one thing, but to dare to strike someone here!”
Facing these words, the Daoist attendant felt quite wronged and helpless. He naturally understood this matter.
At the same time, Lu Fan had already arrived at the purple bamboo forest. Seeing the two figures, he quickly cupped his fists and said, “I apologize for my earlier actions. They were not intentional. I only wish to ask the Old Immortal Doctor to help. I hope the Old Immortal Doctor will not mind!”
“So you’re the brat who caused trouble in my Medicine Immortal Valley?”
His gaze fixed on Lu Fan, his eyes filled with sharpness, the Valley Master of Medicine Immortal Valley was very displeased.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Fan smiled awkwardly: “It was indeed me, but I did it unintentionally. I hope the Valley Master will not blame me!”
“Your tone is quite bold, and you say it was unintentional!” the Medicine King Valley Master sneered, exuding an imposing aura.
Lu Fan’s words were unacceptable to him, as this was Medicine Immortal Valley, not some other place.
