Hearing that Yun Sheng was leaving, a subtle change occurred on Ye Beiming's handsome face, a change that even he himself had not anticipated.
"You're leaving, but isn't your home right here in Banana Leaf Village?" Ye Beiming suddenly realized that he knew far too little about Little Wildcat.
"I'm not from Banana Leaf Village. Six years ago, when I was still a baby, my father brought me to Banana Leaf Village," Yun Sheng said while re-bandaging Ye Beiming's wounds.
In that moment, Ye Beiming felt as if someone had cast a Frozen Magic on him; his whole body stiffened, making even speaking difficult.
Unconsciously, she had let down her guard around Ye Beiming.
That night, the scene of Ye Beiming deliriously calling for his mother during a high fever remained vividly in her mind.
From his words, it was clear that he had suffered a great deal in his childhood.
"My father recently decided to take me back to our ancestral home. It's said that my family is a very prestigious clan where I can receive better medical training," Yun Sheng spoke skillfully as she treated Ye Beiming, who hardly felt any pain, only occasionally feeling Yun Sheng's light breaths and the warmth of her delicate fingers inadvertently touching his abdomen.
What does she really look like?
For the first time, a strange feeling arose in the cold heart of Ye Beiming.
It was a strong desire to see the face of the girl before him; she must have a pair of wise and bright eyes, a small face, soft hair.
Following that desire was a hollow emptiness that suffocated him.
Imagination, after all, is not the same as seeing with one's own eyes; he could not see what Little Wildcat looked like.
She would be leaving in a few days.
The continent is vast, and he might never have the chance to see her again.
Ye Beiming pressed his lips together, having learned to hide his emotions from a young age due to his blindness, but at this moment, he did not want to hide his thoughts any longer.
He hesitantly reached out his hand, and just as he was about to touch Yun Sheng's face to "see" her contours with his hand, a cacophony of sounds like breaking gongs came from the entrance of the Magic Temple.
"Something's wrong, Great Mage Yang, the village chief has been injured," several villagers from Banana Leaf Village, with bruised faces, rushed the village chief into the Magic Temple in a panic.
Earlier in the day, the village chief and a few villagers had gone to Taishang Town to have the local pharmacy evaluate the quality of the Hemostatic Agent.
The village chief had great confidence in Yun Sheng's medicine making, and he had invited the owners of several pharmacies who had previously refused to accept his Blood Stopping Flower to come over.
After seeing the half bottle of Hemostatic Agent produced by Yun Sheng, the pharmacy owners immediately changed their expressions.
The villagers of Banana Leaf Village might not know, but how could these people who sell Hemostatic Agents all year round not know?
The quality of this Hemostatic Agent was very high, almost free of impurities, and what's more valuable, its efficacy was nearly 50% better than usual agents.
If such a Hemostatic Agent were to circulate in the market, who would still patronize their internally produced agents?
Seeing that the pharmacy owners had all changed their expressions, the village chief felt an exhilarating sense of vindication. However, just then, Ding Lei's father, a Great Martial Master, stormed in with a group of villagers from Huoyan Village.
Father Ding immediately falsely accused the Hemostatic Agent from Banana Leaf Village of being bought from elsewhere, alleging that they used Hemostatic Agents sold by Medicine Emperor Pavilion to pose as those from Banana Leaf Village.
The pharmacy owners quickly changed their tune and unanimously insisted that the villagers of Banana Leaf Village were faking it, and even smashed the Hemostatic Agent right on the spot.
"The village chief couldn't bear it in his rage and started fighting with the people from Huoyan Village. They brought a Magician with them. He could have escaped safely, but we were useless, subdued by the people from Huoyan Village, and the village chief was then..." the villagers wiped the corners of their eyes, sobbing inconsolably.
The village chief was a Magician of both the Wind and Water Elements, his strength equivalent to two single-element Magicians.
In theory, even if the opponent was a Great Martial Master, it would be difficult to subdue him instantly.
However, the adversaries had also hired a Magician, and with the martial master, together they overwhelmed our forces. Even when the village chief sought help from some villagers, they were no match for the adversaries.
The news of the village chief's predicament quickly spread throughout the entire Banana Leaf Village.
Hundreds of households from the village congregated outside the Magic Temple.
When Granny Liu arrived, she saw the village chief covered in injuries. Despite her cries, it was to no avail and she wept in utmost despair.
After hearing everything from the villagers, Yun Sheng felt a surge of anger well up, clenching her fists, but soon she regained her composure.
This was clearly a deliberate provocation by Huoyan Village, and Father Ding had even summoned a mage to help, evidently premeditated.
Vengeance must be taken, but the foremost task was to save the village chief.
The village chief's injuries were no ordinary ones, they were inflicted by Father Ding and the assisting magician.
The adversary was also a Fire Element Magician; on top of internal injuries caused by combat skills, the most troublesome were burn injuries inflicted by Magic, covering over ninety percent of his body.
Such extensive burns went beyond Yun Sheng's current capability to heal.
Yun Sheng looked at the village chief, recalling how he had looked after her in the past, her eyes brimming with tears of defiance.
"Great Mage Yang has arrived, everyone please make way."
As Great Mage Yang stepped forward and saw the village chief's injuries, he shook his head.
"The burns are too severe, and the internal injuries are critical too, he cannot be saved," said Great Mage Yang, effectively sentencing the village chief to death.
Even the Great Magic Director of the Magic Temple was at a loss!
Upon hearing this, Granny Liu felt a buzzing in her chest and fainted.
The villagers, too, looked gloomy as they watched the village chief.
The village chief, whom they regarded as their pillar, was it truly impossible to save him?
In that moment, a distinctly different voice emerged.
"No, he can be saved," all eyes turned toward the source of the voice.
Great Mage Yang's expression darkened as he retorted, "I say he cannot be saved. With such severe burns, even if he were saved, dehydration would claim his life, not to mention his internal injuries as well."
It is widely known that burns are the most difficult injuries to treat on the continent because the patient severely dehydrates and must be rehydrated.
But manually administering water will inevitably cause the wounds to fester.
"He can be saved, I say he can be saved. The burns are caused by Fire Magic, you can use Magic Healing for his burns, and I will take care of his internal injuries and dehydration," Yun Sheng declared, puffing out her small chest. In that moment, her gaze was unwavering, her tone allowing no room for rebuttal.
"You saving him, what gives you the right?" In the small Banana Leaf Village, no one had dared to question Great Mage Yang outright.
A mere Medicine Gathering Boy dared to speak to him in this tone.
Veins bulged on Great Mage Yang's forehead as he glared furiously at Yun Sheng.
The two stood like two enraged Demon Beasts, neither willing to back down.
"On the basis that it's a living, breathing life, no one can desecrate the dignity of life," Yun Sheng enunciated clearly, word by word.
In that moment, she seemed to return to her previous life, that decisive Divine Doctor of the medical field.
