Epiphany
After saying goodbye to Shu Wan, Xiao Yi immediately rushed back to the Dark Medical Sect. The whole sect was filled with his friends, which made Xiao Yi afraid that he would make any mistakes. Therefore, he did not dare to delay for a moment.
However, as the gate was close at hand, a beam of light shot out of the gate.
It was a man who flew out on a flying sword.
Xiao Yi fixed his eyes on the man, only to find that it was Bai Mengxi.
However, at this moment, Bai Mengxi's head drooped, and there seemed to be endless frustration and sorrow.
This expression made Xiao Yi's heart move, and he immediately shouted, "Wait, Brother Bai!"
Bai Mengxi had just lost his mind and did not see Xiao Yi. When he heard Xiao Yi's call, he was shocked but immediately stopped his flying sword. There was a little unnatural expression on his face. He bowed to Xiao Yi and said, "It's Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Yi flew to Bai Mengxi on his flying sword and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, I'm very grateful you've come to congratulate my son. I was just thinking of taking this opportunity to drink with you and discuss the world's ways. I didn't expect that you'd be so eager to leave. Is there any trouble?"
Bai Mengxi sighed when he heard Xiao Yi's question. He once again cupped his fists at Xiao Yi and said worriedly, "There's no trouble at all. Mr. Xiao, you're over-worried."
"Haha, Brother Bai, it's still early. Why don't you have a few more drinks with me? It doesn't matter if you have anything to talk to me about!" Xiao Yi said with a smile.
He controlled his flying sword and brought Bai Mengxi down the mountain gate into the mountainside pavilion.
Bai Mengxi looked downcast, but he also sat opposite Xiao Yi. He unconsciously glanced down at somewhere at the foot of the mountain.
"What's wrong? Is there anything in my sect that makes Brother Bai unhappy?" Xiao Yi followed his gaze to take a look and asked with a smile.
Bai Mengxi looked away and pondered for a moment. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm ashamed. I'm here to congratulate your son. I'm also here to fulfill some of my worries."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and turned his hand over. He took out a good bottle of wine from the Square Gourd and two cups. As he poured the wine, he said with a smile, "May I ask what's the matter?"
Bai Mengxi sighed and said slowly, "Mr. Xiao, please forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you. I have no choice."
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Bai's thoughts have something to do with me?" Xiao Yi handed a glass of wine to Bai Mengxi's hand and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao is not an ordinary person. To tell the truth, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. I'm here to see Miss Jiuer." Bai Mengxi drank the cup of wine in one gulp and said with a bitter smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi was not surprised at all. He picked up the wine cup and drank the wine slowly without saying anything.
Bai Mengxi took Xiao Yi's wine pot and poured himself another cup of wine. He sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiao, I was shocked to see Miss Jiuer for the first time in the ancient ruins. However, I heard that Miss Jiuer and Mr. Xiao were partners. I hated meeting each other too late and tried my best to suppress my emotions, but I still couldn't extricate myself from it. I miss Miss Jiuer so much that I couldn't help but come here and see her after thinking for a while. I wanted to see her, and no matter whether I had to be disappointed or not, I didn't want to worry about it anymore."
"Haha, then at this moment, is Brother Bai's heart dead or alive?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile as he finished drinking the wine in his cup.
"Heart, as if it's dead!" Bai Mengxi said with a bitter smile.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Xiao Yi poured more wine for them.
"I'm not afraid of offending Mr. Xiao. I've just gone to look for Miss Jiuer." Bai Mengxi looked at Xiao Yi and said in a deep voice. He seemed ready for Xiao Yi to fall out with him.
However, Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "I see! It seems that the result is not good!"
Bai Mengxi did not expect Xiao Yi to be so calm. After being stunned for a while, he finally continued, "Yes!"
"What did Jiuer say?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.
Bai Mengxi took a deep breath and finally said in a painful voice, "Miss Jiuer said that she sympathizes with my inner demons. She hoped that I can get rid of them as soon as possible and return to the peaceful Bodhisattva Heart."
Hearing this, Bai Mengxi's handsome face couldn't help twitching again. It could be seen that this sentence had a deep impact on Bai Mengxi.
However, Xiao Yi could not help but laugh when he heard this.
Bai Mengxi repeated the words that made him heartbroken. Unexpectedly, he made Xiao Yi laugh. Bai Mengxi felt more frustrated and couldn't help saying, "Mr. Xiao, forgive me for speaking frankly. Miss Jiuer is not only indifferent to me but also to Mr. Xiao as Duel Cultivator."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Xiao Yi finished drinking the wine and said with a smile.
Bai Mengxi hesitated momentarily before finally saying, "I'm not afraid that Mr. Xiao would say I'm despicable and shameless. When I confessed my feelings for Miss Jiuer, I also mentioned that Mr. Xiao already had a wife. Moreover, another beautiful confidant has quietly appeared tonight. With so many beautiful women by his side, he was completely infatuated with Miss Jiuer. However, Miss Jiuer did not respond at all. She only said, 'He's him, and I am I. What does he have to do with me?' Mr. Xiao, if Miss Jiuer really loves you, how could she be so calm if she can't pull herself out of it as I did?'"
Xiao Yi smiled when he heard Bai Mengxi's words. He kept drinking wine and finally looked up at Bai Mengxi and said, "Brother Bai, to tell you the truth, when I first met Jiuer, I was no different from other people. However, after thinking about it, I found it was just a dream of a wonderful thing. There was nothing wrong with it. Everyone loves beauty. With Jiuer's appearance, no man would not be moved. However, the more I contacted her, the more I felt that Jiuer's soul was more amazing than her beauty. It is infinitely close to the heart of heaven, and it is pure. Any evil thought, if put on Jiuer, is blasphemy. As Brother Bai said, Jiuer doesn't care much about me, a cultivation partner. However, I don't feel the slightest disappointment because this is her. I only want to follow nature. On the road of cultivation, even becoming her stepping-stone, is my luck to help her eventually gain the cultivation."
Bai Mengxi was deeply shocked when he heard this. He widened his eyes and asked, "Could it be that, with all due respect, Mr. Xiao has no intention of taking Jiuer as your own?"
"Ha ha, if Jiuer is willing to leave with anyone, I will respectfully send her off. I can only offer my blessings. However, regardless of whether Jiuer stays or leaves, if anyone wants to harm her or if she encounters any danger, I will still risk my life to fight for her." Xiao Yi said with a faint smile.
"Why?" Bai Mengxi asked in surprise. "If you really love someone, shouldn't it be a day and night dream to truly have her?"
"I don't understand! It's all up to Brother Bai to think about it." Xiao Yi stood up and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Bai Mengxi slowly lowered his head and thought about himself again. Since they parted in the ancient ruins, these days, he didn't have a good meal. Not to mention cultivation, he couldn't even maintain his normal life.
The figure of Jiuer hovered in his mind all the time. He wanted to stay with Jiuer together all the time. Even at night, he had some bad intentions. He even maliciously thought more than once that if Xiao Yi had an accident, could he have Jiuer?
Just now, in order to convince Jiuer, he did not hesitate to slander Xiao Yi.
Bai Mengxi knew that he had never been such a person in his daily life. But now, he was in such a bad situation because of Jiuer.
"Is Jiuer right? Am I having an inner demon? Isn't it that Jiuer is mocking me? Is it what she thinks?" Bai Mengxi stood in a daze and stared blankly into the distance for a long while before finally recovering. He cupped his fists at Xiao Yi and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xiao. I'm so impressed by your righteousness that I can only praise you! I will leave now. I will return to the mountain and comprehend Mr. Xiao's words. I hope that I will be able to be reborn after this time!"
"What a good promise!" Xiao Yi nodded deeply and personally sent Bai Mengxi out of the mountain gate.
Just as Xiao Yi's figure flew out of the mountain gate, Chen Yuanyuan retracted the Divine Awareness she had secretly released. She looked at her daughter, who was cultivating and nodded with a smile.
On the other hand, Xiao Yi was the first to enter the secular world with his disciples after sending off his guests the next day. Xiao Yi returned to the city where he had been gone for a long time.
After arranging the disciples, Xiao Yi took the lead in going to the Hospital of Medical University.
During this period, when he was not there, all the matters in the secular world were managed by the old dean, Li Qingshan.
Now, as soon as Xiao Yi returned to the secular world, he would go to Li Qingshan as soon as possible.
Li Qingshan was pleasantly surprised to see Xiao Yi. He took Xiao Yi's hand and almost had so many words to say to him.
However, before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang. Li Qingshan answered the phone, put on his white coat, and said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, you're just in time. Come to ICU with me."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi immediately opened the door for Li Qingshan and asked.
"After treatment, a patient has shown signs of respiratory failure. After the rescue, he has not yet been out of danger. The family members have a problem with it and are about to make trouble. Now, the relationship between doctors and the patient's family is extremely tense. Let's go there quickly," the director of the hospital, Li Qingshan, said simply while striding in the direction of the ICU.
Xiao Yi took the lead in releasing his Divine Awareness after Li Qingshan. Sure enough, he immediately heard the noise of arguments.
Two doctors in white coats were surrounded by a group of family members.
The family members questioned loudly, and the two doctors tried their best to explain.
