"The girl must take care of her health, no matter how busy she is. In the past few days, when encountering issues, do not act too hastily. Rushing can easily trigger headaches again."
Mo Ziyu watched as Ziyan treasured the elixir she had concocted, a smile naturally appearing on her face. She kindly began to offer Ziyan some heartfelt advice.
Seeing this, Ziyan could only nod like a little woman and thank her, "Mm! Alright, I will definitely remember Doctor Mo's instructions."
"As for that person in the Courtyard? Forgive me for being blunt, but once he recovers sufficiently, it would be best to send him away quickly to avoid prolonged troubles."
Mo Ziyu nodded at the playful expression of Ziyan and then discussed Nangong Yu.
"Mm, okay, I will listen to you on this matter. Once this person gets through the final hurdle, I will certainly have someone send him away promptly."
When it came to serious matters, Ziyan's attitude was always earnest. She understood that this Senior Brother Mo was reminding her out of concern for her well-being.
Upon hearing this, she blinked her beautiful big eyes and quickly nodded her head like a good child, her speed rivaling that of a mortar and pestle.
For a moment, Mo Ziyu was left speechless.
In her heart, she secretly muttered: No wonder my mentor and Young Master are so fond of this quirky girl and care for her so much! Sometimes she can be so funny and adorable.
"Mm, I hope Miss Zi can be like this. The current world is perilous; people's hearts are unpredictable. Many show one face in front of you while hiding another behind your back. Therefore, learning to protect oneself wisely is very important in this world."
Clearly, although Mo Ziyu was reluctant to refer to Ziyan as junior sister, deep down she genuinely regarded her as such and wanted to guide her.
Ziyan was certainly not foolish! She quickly deduced from his attitude and what he said that this Senior Brother Mo was intimidated by Ling Yuxuan's authority and thus did not dare to address her as junior sister directly.
It was evident that this ancient loyal gentleman had a clear understanding of hierarchy; if she were to deliberately go against it, it might lead them to look down on her or harbor other thoughts.
It would be better to accept it willingly and follow their rules.
Immediately, Ziyan responded, "Well, I naturally understand this principle. However, for the next few days, I will need Doctor Mo to come regularly to treat that Nangong Yu's injuries."
"Yes! Ziyu will definitely come on time. Then Ziyu will take his leave from Miss Zi," Mo Ziyu said politely, cupping his fists in a bow towards Ziyan before standing up to bid farewell.
Just as Ziyan was seeing Mo Ziyu out the door, sounds of clashing swords and blades began to echo from the courtyard outside.
Ziyan's mouth twitched uncontrollably at that moment, and both she and Mo Ziyu were left dumbfounded by the scene before them.
Who else could be fighting in this Yard? It was easy to guess: it must be the Sixth Prince, who had been asked to leave by Ziyan earlier, a prominent figure from her Heavenly Pivot Sect's Drunken Immortal Residence.
After a while, Ziyan let out a long sigh, "Sigh, two lunatics."
Mo Ziyu quickly spoke up, "Miss Zi, should I go separate them?"
"Uh? Sigh, let them be. They'll stop when they get tired."
Ziyan couldn't help but sigh again. However, looking at the two fighting fiercely in the air, she realized the truth. The two were merely competing with each other; they were far from truly fighting to the death.
So, Ziyan confidently shook her head at Mo Ziyu and declined his offer.
"Sigh, may I ask Miss Zi why there is such a big feud between Xiang Wang Ye and this Head Innkeeper?" Mo Ziyu asked Ziyan, puzzled.
"Hehe— I don't know either. That's why I didn't mention it before. These two gentlemen are just two lunatics."
"Lunatics?" Mo Ziyu looked confused as he stared at Ziyan.
At this moment, Ziyan certainly realized that she had misspoken again, so she could only shrug and explain in detail, "It's a term I created to describe people whose minds are a bit disturbed."
"Oh, ha ha! Miss Zi is quite witty," Mo Ziyu also chuckled in understanding.
Then, Ziyan bid farewell again, saying, "Well then, Miss Zi, you all can continue to enjoy the show. The Ziyu clinic is afraid of more patients coming in, so I won't disturb you any longer today."
"Uh? Oh, alright then. Doctor Mo, please take care. I won't see you off too far," she replied.
Hearing this, Ziyan smiled as she watched Mo Ziyu leave with a servant who had been waiting there.
Immediately after, a clattering noise erupted as two "snake spirits" who had been fighting in mid-air just a moment ago leaped onto the roof. Qi Yu used a knife to lift the roof tiles, and then everyone saw tile after tile flying towards Xiang Wang Lingfeng.
In an instant, a surge of anger welled up in Ziyan's heart. It seemed these two "snake spirits" were intent on maliciously destroying the perfectly good roof!
Suddenly, Ziyan's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since she had a good fight with someone; why not take this opportunity to have an exciting showdown with them?
With this thought in mind, Ziyan leaped into the air, first landing on a small artificial hill in the courtyard. Then she lightly pushed off with her left foot and swiftly flew towards the two of them.
She first pushed Xiang Wang Lingfeng back with one palm and seized the treasured sword from his hand to take his place before starting to fight Qi Yu.
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, and that gave her the chance to tightly grip Ling Feng's sword and point it directly at Qi Yu's neck.
Just as Qi Yu regained his composure and cleverly dodged, a small tuft of his flowing hair was immediately sliced off by Ziyan's sword that could cut through iron like mud.
As Qi Yu was about to announce a ceasefire, Ziyan continued to press forward relentlessly, making it impossible for him to stop or declare peace.
At this moment, there was someone who was quite pleased and happily watching this scene with arms crossed over their chest. They secretly rejoiced, thinking that this was Ziyan protecting her sister and teaching that subordinate a lesson.
Actually, that's not the case! The real show is yet to come. However, he definitely doesn't realize that if he stays a little longer, Ziyan's next target for torment will be him!
So, he is too early in his triumph.
Next, Ziyan relentlessly gave Qi Yu a harsh lesson. She wanted to see just how high her status as his master was in his eyes.
She thought to herself, even though she didn't particularly like Xiang Wang Lingfeng, he was still her partner. As her Subordinate, Qi Yu shouldn't just act recklessly against a prince in the capital.
Eventually, Qi Yu kept retreating until there was nowhere left to go. He had no choice but to shout for her to stop and threw his large knife to the ground. Closing his eyes, he allowed Ziyan to attack him freely.
Seeing this, Ziyan naturally found it quite boring. If she continued to bully him like this, it would be too disrespectful; after all, he was the leader of the Drunken Immortal Residence. It wouldn’t be right to humiliate him in front of so many disciples.
Thus, Ziyan stopped her attack on him. Of course, she only paused her assault on him; the next moment, she leaped down to pick up the knife that Qi Yu had thrown on the ground.
Not caring whether it looked too rough for a woman to wield a large knife, she jumped back onto the rooftop and approached the seemingly relaxed Xiang Wang Lingfeng, tossing his valuable sword back into his hands. Following that, she charged at the prince who was enjoying the spectacle; she knew that anyone skilled in martial arts would instinctively react to the wind from her blade and sword.
So, without prior notice to her opponent, she began attacking with the large knife that Qi Yu had acquired from somewhere. She leaped up onto Xiang Wang Lingfeng's head and swung down with the knife.
Startled, the prince shrank his neck and then executed a beautiful and urgent backward bend to avoid Ziyan's "deadly strike."
However, Ziyan did not give this prince any chance to catch his breath and attacked him again with lethal intent.
This time, Xiang Wang Lingfeng dared not just dodge without countering. Cold sweat poured down as he realized how terrifying this girl could be when she went wild.
Indeed, in the past, Ziyan had always hidden behind her Demonically Charming Man, and Xiang Wang had hardly ever witnessed her fighting skills. Today was an eye-opener for him; he would no longer underestimate Ziyan's martial prowess.
In the entire Yard, not only did Xiang Wang and Qi Yu regard Ziyan differently now, but many small Clerks present were also left dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them.
If before, in their hearts, Ziyan could only be considered a beautiful and delicate young girl, at this moment, her fierce attacks in these two battles were enough to blind them with astonishment and fill them with endless respect for the Leader before them.
Even their long-admired Grandmaster Qi Yu was forced to call for a stop, and the dignified Prince was also driven into a corner by her relentless assault.
Given that even these two Male God level figures were afraid of this beautiful leader, what could possibly astonish those ordinary disciples and regular Clerks?
Next, Ziyan and Xiang Wang Lingfeng continued to fight—
After a while, the outcome was the same as when dealing with Qi Yu. The esteemed Xiang Wang Lingfeng also chose to stop his attacks coldly—he announced his surrender.
Of course, those two gentlemen were not truly no match for Ziyan. This is absolutely undeniable!
Ziyan won because she caught them off guard; moreover, being as clever as she is, Ziyan understood that many male warriors tend to underestimate women in battle, especially when one of them is a man who has a crush on her and the other is her own Subordinate.
Thus, Ziyan had complete confidence in defeating these two before her. This was the effect of a brilliant combination of wisdom and strength.
Therefore, Ziyan won resplendently and brilliantly—
While Ziyan secretly reveled in her victory, no one present noticed that just outside the shadow of a beam on the roof of this Yard, there were eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction, laughing with a hint of wicked charm as they closely observed everything happening in this Yard.
Ziyan did not notice it, nor did Qi Yu, and neither did Xiang Wang Lingfeng. Not to mention those ordinary warriors.
