"Madam, don't worry. Young Miss will be fine," Lin Ma comforted, looking at the dazed Bai Su.
"What about my husband?" Bai Su asked weakly, longing to see Ouyang Hao at that moment.
She had already punished two maidservants to kneel and had been summoned herself. At this time, her mind was filled with the image of her daughter covered in blood, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls.
"Madam, please don't be anxious. We have sent someone to look for him; Master will return soon."
The two in the courtyard waited anxiously, but the situation inside was quite different—
The Old Man initially appeared uninterested, but under Yun Tianmo's intense gaze, he reluctantly glanced at the person on the bed.
"Eh?"
This glance piqued the Old Man's interest; Ouyang Zixin's injuries seemed serious, and the layer of Mysterious Energy surrounding her was clearly not her own.
Seeing that the Old Man was interested, Yun Tianmo felt somewhat relieved. This Mystic Physician was known for his eccentric nature; if it were an ordinary injury, he wouldn't even bother to look. To get him to take action, it had to be something that intrigued or pleased him.
When he had sent the shadow guards to summon him, Yun Tianmo wasn't very confident. But now it seemed that Ouyang Zixin would be alright.
Just as he prepared to turn and leave, he saw the Old Man leap to the bedside and reach out to lift Ouyang Zixin's clothing. Instinctively, he stepped forward to block him.
"What are you doing?" The Old Man glared, clearly displeased with Yun Tianmo's actions.
Yun Tianmo was also taken aback; to treat a wound, one naturally needed to remove the clothing. But why did he feel that he couldn't let the Old Man uncover her clothes?
"Let's check the injuries on her face first."
Withdrawing his hand, Yun Tianmo concealed his unusual feelings well. The injuries on his body were of the same type as those on his face; as long as he examined the wounds and had a remedy, there was no need for the Old Man to personally check them.
Upon hearing this, the Old Man chuckled and teased, "When did the Ninth Prince start caring about a woman's appearance?"
Though he said this, the Old Man understood Yun Tianmo's intention. In the Yuhai Continent, there were not such strict gender separations, especially when it came to discussing matters in front of a healer.
While continuing to mock Yun Tianmo, he reached out to touch a noticeable wound on Ouyang Zixin's face and said, "Aren't you going to retract your Mysterious Energy?"
He was indeed a Mystic Physician, but that energy was meant for healing. If he were injured by Yun Tianmo's Mysterious Energy, how could he continue to heal others?
"I can't retract it."
The Old Man became displeased upon hearing this. He jumped up and asked, "Nonsense! You can't retract your Mysterious Energy?"
In truth, Yun Tianmo was not lying and had no reason to do so. It was true that he had released the Mysterious Energy, but for some unknown reason, when he later tried to retract it, the energy stubbornly clung to Ouyang Zixin.
"Are you really not joking with me?" The Old Man observed Yun Tianmo's helpless expression and realized it didn't seem fake. After scrutinizing him for a moment, he finally believed him.
With the Mysterious Energy still present, how could they treat this injury?
Without saying another word, the Old Man lifted his foot and prepared to leave. Yun Tianmo said nothing more and followed him out.
In the courtyard, Bai Su saw them coming out so quickly and hurriedly approached to inquire about her daughter's condition.
Initially, the Old Man had no intention of responding, but being perceptive, he knew that while teasing Yun Tianmo was one thing, he wasn't foolish enough to provoke him unnecessarily.
Clearing his throat and adopting an air of authority as a Mystic Physician, he straightened his hunched back slightly and said, "Madam need not worry; the young lady is not seriously injured."
This statement sounded like something a quack would say, yet Bai Su believed him. She quickly nodded in gratitude and signaled Lin Ma to give a reward.
The Old Man, having seen many such families, immediately became disdainful again. He waved his sleeve and walked away, mumbling to himself.
Yun Tianmo intended to leave, but Ouyang Hao had not returned yet. If Bai Su saw that her daughter had not been treated and looked the same as before, she would likely cause a scene.
Sure enough, Bai Su hurriedly approached to enter, disregarding the Old Man's rudeness, and said, "Young Master, I won't see you off. Let Lin Ma take you out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ma nodded and stepped forward to lead the way. The two of them completely overlooked that Yun Tianmo was carrying Ouyang Zixin and had entered first; he certainly did not need anyone to guide him.
"Madam." Yun Tianmo did not look at Lin Ma but turned to Bai Su and called out to her.
After pondering for a moment, he finally figured out how to explain himself. It was indeed a challenge for someone who had never been one to offer explanations.
"Don't go in for now; let those who understand Mysterious Energy keep watch."
What he meant to convey was this:
Right now, Ouyang Zixin was in no condition to receive treatment. They could only wait until the Mysterious Energy around her dissipated before inviting the Mystic Physician to examine her wounds. Going in now would be pointless and would only cause unnecessary worry.
Having those who understood Mysterious Energy keep watch was a precaution because no one knew if that Mysterious Energy might suddenly act up.
Seeing that neither of them seemed like they had any cultivation, it was better not to go in and create trouble.
Bai Su was momentarily taken aback; with her daughter injured, she naturally wanted to care for her personally. Just as she was about to shake her head in disagreement, an urgent voice caught her attention.
"Madam, who has caused trouble at our residence? Are you hurt?"
The speaker was Ouyang Hao. The person Lin Ma sent had informed him about someone causing a disturbance at home but did not know that Ouyang Zixin was injured. Therefore, upon entering, his first action was to grab Bai Su and check her over for injuries.
Distracted by this sudden inquiry, Bai Su forgot about wanting to go in and care for her daughter. She quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was unharmed, but the redness around her eyes made Ouyang Hao feel a pang of heartache.
He angrily shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble at my Xuan Shi Mansion?"
Yun Tianmo stood nearby, and Ouyang Hao could not possibly have overlooked his presence. The implication was clear; even if you are a prince of the Cloud Nation, you cannot come to my Ouyang Hao's residence to cause trouble.
"Husband, it's not trouble; something has happened. Xin'er, Xin'er..." Bai Su saw Ouyang Hao and seemed to have found her anchor. She insisted on explaining the situation before collapsing into his arms.
Upon hearing that Yun Tianmo had brought back his daughter, who was severely injured, Ouyang Hao's anger flared as he questioned, "Mo Wang, my daughter went out just fine; how could she return injured?"
If Yun Tianmo dared to harm his daughter, regardless of his status as a prince or a lord, Ouyang Hao would undoubtedly take action and beat him so badly that even his father wouldn't recognize him.
"Study."
It was better not to discuss this in front of Bai Su. Yun Tianmo's hint made Ouyang Hao secretly breathe a sigh of relief as he nodded in agreement.
"Help my wife back home and have Liu Ying and Liu Lu come over to take care of her."
Ouyang Hao was a sensible man. Since Yun Tianmo had spoken to that extent, it was likely that his daughter's current situation was not optimistic. It was best not to let Bai Su see her for now.
Bai Su's resistance was futile as Lin Ma helped her away. Ouyang Hao then led Yun Tianmo to the study. (To be continued.)
