Chapter 909: Chapter 415: Entering the Residence as a Physician, Candid Conversations, Flower Cage Update, Candle Sect Approaching!

The tone immediately lightened somewhat.

The Marquis post provides medical services, with many miscellaneous tasks and lower status. The pay is also not as good as at the Miao Medical Pavilion, but the benefit is plenty of "Essence Soup." The leftover Essence Soup from the Gold Appraisal Guard is not wasted and is diluted with water as a reward to clerical staff or doctors accompanying the post.

However, the Miao Medical Pavilion is backed by "the Yao Clan," and on the fourth floor of the Miao Medical Pavilion, there is a "cauldron." If the cauldron is activated, "Famous Doctor" can get a share of Essence Food. On usual days when going to the mansion for medical practice, if lucky, one might even get some leftover food.

Medicine and Martial Arts are inseparable. A doctor’s martial skills may be average, and their fighting ability might be lacking. But they naturally need to know some martial arts. Both thought, "In that case, Brother Li’s exotic horse must have been borrowed from a friend in the Gold Appraisal Guard."

Li Xian laughed and said, "The two brothers are mistaken, I hold a position with the Gold Appraisal Guard, not a stationed doctor."

The two were stunned, asking in unison, "Brother Li is... is with the Gold Appraisal Guard?" Li Xian responded, "Indeed."

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang exchanged puzzled glances and said, "Brother Li is with the Gold Appraisal Guard, how come you also know medicine?" Yao Yin laughed and said, "You two are so old-fashioned, who says the Gold Appraisal Guard can’t know medicine?"

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang both thought, "This Brother Li is a friend of Miss Yao, so naturally, he’s extraordinary. Our questions seem rather shallow, and we hope we haven’t upset Brother Li." They immediately apologized.

They then flattered further, "We were presumptuous; our vision is shallow. Brother Li, being with the Gold Appraisal Guard, already holds a distinguished position, and on top of that, to also have medical cultivation, it’s truly admirable and enviable."

Li Xian said, "There’s no need to be nervous, my medical skills are just a personal interest, self-taught, and probably far inferior compared to you two brothers."

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang heard Li Xian’s humble words. Though young and already in an important position, he showed no arrogance. They felt even more respectful and curious about the business at Marquis post, thus their conversation flourished.

The group journeyed on while chatting. Exiting Tongji Square, they came upon a long straight road. The view along this road was expansive, with a flow of horses and carriages moving faster. Yao Yin called out, "Keep up," then spurred her horse, leading the way. Li Xian followed closely, followed by Fang Ming and Ding Heilang.

Yao Yin was equipped with a sachet, and as she galloped, a fragrant breeze followed.

Yao Yin had a few close friends in Jade City. Their family backgrounds were similar, and they were all talented and held reasonable status. Their friendship had lasted for years, and they would always gather when they had spare time. Yao Yin had gone out to practice martial arts, joining the highly reputable and legitimate "Natural Sect" in Guanlong Road. Meanwhile, some of the sisters in Jade City stayed or also went out to practice martial arts and adventure.

As years passed, their chances to gather became fewer.

It wasn’t until a few days ago that they all returned to Jade City. With friends gathered, how could they not meet? Hence this private gathering. Yao Yin heard in correspondence that some of her friends had hidden ailments. So she thought of bringing along some Famous Doctors to help with treatment, pulse diagnosis, and prescription adjustments. Thus, this scene came to be.

Yao Yin led the way in front, leaving Tongji Square and taking a shortcut through a small alley. Yao Yin laughed, "Hehe, it’s time to test our riding skills; don’t fall." Her horse led the way.

The alley was narrow and dark, filled with clutter, difficult for a person to pass. It was naturally harder for a horse. The Horse Beast stepped elegantly, bounding swiftly. The two Famous Doctors, Fang Ming and Ding Heilang, displayed impressive riding skills. They all passed without incident, saving several miles of detour.

Passing through "Chouluo Square," they reached a serene residential area. Yao Yin sighed softly, slowing down, and stopped in front of a "Peach Blossom Residence." Yao Yin rubbed her shoulders, sweat slightly seeping through her clothes. She dismounted and said, "Here we are; let’s all dismount!"

Peach Blossom Residence’s side door was slightly ajar. This area had few passersby, offering tranquility, with only the chirping of birds to be heard. The hustle and bustle were nonexistent here; yet, just two streets away, it was the liveliest place.

This residential area was named "Elegance Grove." It was about twenty miles from Li Xian’s "Yuanbao Square, Westzi Street, Three Boy Lane," and only seven miles from "Xifeng Street’s end where Marquis Post is."

Li Xian often patrolled past this place and knew that those residing here must be wealthy individuals. The mansion was quite expensive, making him ponder, "Indeed, noble families are different. The architecture here, even within the Elegance Grove, ranks among the best."

Leading the horses in, the mansion was serene. At the entrance was a green pine stone, exuding a fragrant resin, refreshing anyone who smelled it.

Not far away, three carriages were parked. Each carriage had unique designs; some were round, some square, some long, but all adorably decorated, exuding a women’s touch. They must belong to women.

Yao Yin commented, "All came in carriages to show off to me."

On the left was a horse garden, where three horses lay leisurely grazing. Yao Yin shouted, "All horses should be placed in the garden."

The three horses were of exotic bloodlines. Seeing new horses entering, they immediately looked alert. Li Xian gently patted his steed and sent it into the garden.

This "Peach Blossom Residence" was bought by Yao Yin and her group of close female friends, pooling their savings over a dozen years, each pulling strings to purchase it at a special price. It was solely for gatherings.

Familiar with the place, Yao Yin turned down a long corridor, faintly hearing laughter and chatter. A voice said, "Judging by the noise, Yao Ni is here."

In a pavilion with red flowers and green leaves, three ladies sat chatting leisurely. The pavilion table was set with "Fragrant Wine," seeds, meat, beans... a scene reminiscent of Jianghu travels, with snacks to stave off hunger and fatigue.

The speaking lady wore a colorful long dress, with delicate brows, a soft face, thin lips, thick earlobes, and fair skin, radiating a gentle elegance. Her skirt trailed to the ground.
