Chapter 910: Chapter 415: Practicing Medicine in the Mansion, Candid Girlish Talk, Recent Flower Cage News, What If the Candle Sect Comes!

Her name is "Bai Caiwei". The woman on her left side has her long hair tied in a ponytail, wearing wrist guards, with a sharp nose, a slightly round face, a full forehead, yet she exudes a heroic spirit.

Her name is "Han Niannian". The woman across the way is propping her chin up, looking over here with a smile.

She is scantily dressed, with a long wide scarf draped over her shoulders, her features delicate and enchanting, quite beautiful, and her name is "Huang Axia".

Bai Caiwei said, "Yao Ni, is this the healer you mentioned?" Yao Yin quickly walked into the pavilion, not bothering with formalities with the three of them, grabbed the wine pot, took several big gulps, sat down heartily, and said, "Yes, brought especially for you, one for each of you."

Huang Axia said, "Why is there one still wearing a mask? Yao Ni, are you secretly resenting the three of us? Appearing to bring three healers, when in fact, you’ve invited three audacious bandits to catch us off guard, seize us, and sell us to pay off debts?"

Yao Yin said, "You sly girl, you’ve guessed right. I not only poison you first, putting all three of you into a daze. Then I’ll have these three trusty aides of mine give you... Hehehe, a good hundred rounds of torment. Finally sending you to the Black Market, selling you to the Flower Cage. Let you enjoy yourself from then on."

Huang Axia eagerly asked, "And then? What happens then?" Yao Yin said, "Then you’ll wander all through the brothels of Great Wu. What, are you scared now?"

Li Xian, Ding Heilang, and Fang Ming quietly wiped their sweat, all thinking, "Are women’s private conversations always this brazen?" Not daring to make a sound.

Han Niannian said, "Hmph, these three brigands you called, being such audacious characters, after capturing us, won’t they let you off then?"

Yao Yin was taken aback. Huang Axia said, "Exactly, the three would surely gang up on you. Hehehe, karma will come, and you’ll be worse off."

Bai Caiwei lightly coughed twice, head full of black lines, and said, "Stop! These topics, don’t speak of them anymore." Lowering her voice, she said, "There are outsiders present, mind your image."

Only then did Yao Yin, Huang Axia, and Han Niannian return to their ladylike manners. Bai Caiwei said, "Divine healers, that was just a joke earlier, if any offense was made, please don’t take it to heart. The banter among women shouldn’t be taken seriously, please don’t spread it around."

Fang Ming said, "We famous doctors, it’s all about reason. Anything we hear, we’ll let it go in one ear and out the other."

Yao Yin suddenly remembered that Li Xian was present, her pretty face turned red, thinking, "I just blurted out such unladylike words and he heard them, I wonder what he must think." She glanced over subtly.

Huang Axia said, "Yin’er, why are you blushing? Could it be you really want to be caught by brigands and have a good time?" Yao Yin countered, "I’ll be the brigand first, so you, you little flirt, will know my prowess." Then raised her hand to fight back, pinching towards Huang Axia’s waist.

Huang Axia naturally fought back. There was then a fragrant and vivid tussle.

Han Niannian, not wanting to be left out, shouted, "Watch as I reap the benefits!" and joined the fray, her hands attacking the soft spots of Yao Yin and Huang Axia. The two women exclaimed in surprise, each spewing a curse, dividing their attention to fend off Han Niannian.

Bai Caiwei held her forehead and shook her head, sighing wryly, feeling that with friends like these, face was lost. With a graceful flick of her hand, she snapped three beans, hitting the shoulders of the three women.

The three women stilled, their acupoints sealed, but soon moved their Qi to break through the points, returning to their seats. Huang Axia rearranged her clothes, gave Yao Yin a scornful glance, and scolded, "You little rascal, you’re getting better and better, I’ll let you off for now."

She then looked at Li Xian, and asked, "You haven’t mentioned, why does this doctor wear a mask?"

Yao Yin said, "Why do you care? I called him here to serve you all. Just enjoy it."

Huang Axia said, "That’s not how it should be said. Didn’t you bring someone whose background you don’t even know, not even what they look like?"

Yao Yin said, "Of course I know." She hesitated, thinking, "These are my close friends, truly trustworthy. Li Xian revealing his face here, besides worrying about this flirt’s mischievous intentions, there’s really nothing bad..."

Li Xian thought, "Our Ghost Doctor lineage is famously known for our ugly looks but extraordinary medical skills. I’ve lost the Ghost Jade, so I can’t uphold the Ghost Doctor’s title for now. But by coming here and practicing medicine, I can still carry on a bit of our lineage’s tradition. I might as well disguise my appearance, and save myself the trouble of explaining." So he said, "I have an unusual skin condition, and it’s so unsightly that I dare not show my face."

Yao Yin was taken aback, pulling Li Xian aside, and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Although you usually wear a mask to avoid trouble, this place is among my friends, there’s no need to go that far." Li Xian smiled, "To be honest with you, I’ve always admired the Ghost Doctor. I wish to emulate him in the art of healing."

Yao Yin found no further words and let Li Xian be. Huang A-Xia said, "Ah, since that’s the case, I apologize!"

Li Xian laughed heartily, "No worries."

After a moment of light-hearted banter, they got back to the main topic. Yao Yin, Bai Cai-Wei, Han Nian-Nian, and Huang A-Xia hadn’t seen each other in a long time. They belonged to different families and powers, each bearing their family’s responsibilities and future prospects. Their situations were also different.

While the four chatted idly, Li Xian, Fang Ming, and Ding Hei-Lang were diagnosing pulses and preparing medicine for Huang A-Xia, Bai Cai-Wei, and Han Nian-Nian...

The four women talked happily in detail, starting from the current situation in Jade City to family matters, then moving to Jianghu’s strange tales and turbulent affairs. Although it was a gathering in the inner chamber, the four women had notable family backgrounds and abundant experiences. Their conversations were significant, neither trivial chatter nor love affairs of little consequence.

Gradually, the topic turned to the "Flower Cage Sect" incident.

Huang A-Xia said, "Yao Ni, be very careful when you return to the sect in the future. You are as beautiful as a flower, and the journey to the Natural Sect is quite distant. If you were to be captured by the Flower Thief, it would truly be a terrible ordeal."

Yao Yin, feeling unlucky, said, "Pah, are you cursing me?" Bai Cai-Wei said, "What A-Xia said is not without reason. Yao Ni, you are lively by nature and born beautiful, so it’s very easy to attract the Flower Cage Sect. Maybe, you have already been targeted by this Flower Thief and listed on their picking flower list."

Han Nian-Nian said, "Speaking of this, I remember hearing not long ago that the Water Altar, one of the five major altars of the Flower Cage Sect, was completely destroyed by the Jade Girl of the Daoxuan Sect. The General Envoy, Deputy Envoy, Elders, marked disciples, and recorded disciples of the Water Altar were all captured!"

Yao Yin nodded, "This incident was extremely sensational. I was far away in the Natural Sect, so far from Yu Nan Dao, but still heard it spread through word of mouth, reaching my ears. But it was only hearsay, without verification, so I don’t know if it’s true or false."

Bai Cai-Wei took a sip of wine and said, "It’s true. I’ve been paying attention to this matter. That Jade Girl is indeed an extraordinary talent, and I don’t know what methods were used. Not only was the Water Altar broken, but all those present at the altar were captured alive. Except for a few fierce and evil individuals who resisted desperately and were killed on the spot, the rest were shaved and bound."

Han Nian-Nian curiously asked, "What happened to all those Flower Thieves?"

Bai Cai-Wei said, "Ordinary disciples were deprived of their Martial Arts, stripped of their power, and sent to labor camps to atone for their sins through hard labor. As for the elders of the Flower Cage Sect and the marked disciples, they were taken back to Daoxuan Mountain. After deliberation, a decision on how to deal with them was made. In just over three months, the decision was finalized."

Yao Yin, Han Nian-Nian, and Huang A-Xia were all curious and asked, "What was the decision?" Li Xian was also intrigued and listened attentively.

Bai Cai-Wei said, "This matter is related to Jade City. Daoxuan Mountain requested Jade City’s help to craft an ingeniously crafted emotional restraint device. This device is..." She glanced at Li Xian, Fang Ming, and Ding Hei-Lang preparing medicine in the distance, blushing and finding it inconvenient to speak.

Bai Cai-Wei said, "In short, wearing this device, regardless of gender, one has emotions and desires but cannot express them. Thinking deeply... it’s truly a huge torment, but as these people have committed countless evil deeds, how can they deserve sympathy?"

Yao Yin asked, "And then?" Bai Cai-Wei said, "Then they kneel before the mountain for fifty years to redeem their sins. Outside Daoxuan Mountain, there’s a ’Forest of Evil Barriers’. Those elders of the Flower Cage Sect... Han Zi-Sha and Ye Cheng stayed there, kneeling daily in the forest."

"Chains are added to their bodies, with their crimes engraved on their backs, listening to sermons for redemption every day. Ordinary people, passers-by, and wandering Jianghu Guests can insult and beat them at will, and they can’t fight back."

"Their deeds have enraged both heaven and man. Every day, hundreds of people come in waves to insult and beat them, leaving their cheeks swollen like pig heads."

Han Nian-Nian asked, "Aren’t you afraid the Flower Cage Sect will rescue them? In my view, such humiliation is gratifying, but ultimately, it’s most reliable to execute them with a single sword, eliminating future troubles."

Bai Cai-Wei said, "Flower Cage Sect is such a vile sect, adept at hidden reprehensible acts. But going to Daoxuan Mountain to save people is absolutely impossible. First, they lack camaraderie; secondly, they lack strength. A rash rescue would merely add more criminals in the Forest of Evil Barriers."

Suddenly her eyes flashed, and she added, "However... if it were the Candle Sect coming, that would be a different matter. When the candle burns, even Daoxuan Mountain would fearfully avoid it."
