Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 63 A New Quest

Chen Wei'er then stood up, grabbed Xiao Xianglin's shoulder, and asked seriously. "Why don't you want to tell me the truth? Yan Yanran just told me everything, and I didn't expect that your condition was that bad."

"Wei'er, I-"

Xiao Xianglin had yet to finish speaking, but Yan Yanran immediately said. "You can roll up her sleeves and see for yourself, Wei'er."

Chen Wei'er hastily rolled up Xiao Xianglin's sleeves, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw her skin was almost entirely blackish purple; she then asked in a high tone. "Why did you hide it from me?"

"I-" Xiao Xianglin couldn't say anything to answer her best friend.

Chen Wei'er then turned to Yan Yanran. "Are you really not able to cure Xianglin? How bad is it really?"

"Sigh, I really can't heal Xianglin." Yan Yanran replied with a heavy sigh. "According to my predictions, her condition has gotten too bad, and she probably won't be able to survive for more than a year."

"What?" Chen Wei'er was shocked after hearing that; she pulled Xiao Xianglin to sit beside her. "Why? Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Xiao Xianglin lowered her face and answered quietly. "I'm sorry; I didn't want to make you worry about me, Wei'er."

"You really are stupid, Xianglin!" Chen Wei'er snapped at her in a high pitch. "You are my best friend. Do you think I won't be sad if you die?"

"I-" Xiao Xianglin didn't continue her words, and tears dripped from both of her eyes.

Chen Wei'er sighed softly, hugged Xiao Xianglin, and rubbed her back. "Why did you have to hide this matter?from me? You are like my sister, and I will be very sad to lose you. If you had told me from the start, I might have been able to help you find a cure. But now your illness is too severe, and I don't know if I can help you to heal it."

Xiao Xianglin hugged Chen Wei'er back and sobbed in her arms, and she then said to her. "Honestly, I've resigned myself to my fate, but I met a man today, and he told me that he could heal me."

Her two best friends were surprised to hear that, and Yan Yanran asked suspiciously. "Who is that guy? Have I ever heard of his name in the medical world before?"

Xiao Xianglin broke free from Chen Wei'er's embrace, looked at Yan Yanran, and answered her question. "I'm not sure you've heard of his name, for he's so young, but-"

"Tch! That guy must be bragging to you just to get your attention!" Yan Yanran interrupted Xiao Xianglin as she gritted her teeth. "Even my teacher, the best doctor in this country, has said that he can't cure you, let alone a young man like him."

Chen Wei'er shook her head at Yan Yanran's words, and she asked Xiao Xianglin. "Who is that man? Do I know him?"

"No! I'm sure you don't know that guy yet." Xiao Xianglin replied with a shake of the head, and she then mentioned Chen Li's characteristics to Chen Wei'er. "The person who said that to me was the silver-haired man I was looking for before, and I met him by accident earlier."

"Huh?" Chen Wei'er was surprised to hear that and looked at Xiao Xianglin with repeated blinks, for she realized that the man was her nephew. "Then what did he say to you?"

"Honestly, I don't completely believe the man's words, but judging from his seriousness, I'm thinking of trying his treatment method." Chen Wei'er nodded in understanding, and Xiao Xianglin continued. "However, he put forward a condition to me, so I haven't decided to try his method yet."

"See? I'm sure that guy is just talking nonsense, and he just wants to take advantage of your situation." Yan Yanran spoke angrily.

Xiao Xianglin shook her head. "You've misjudged that man, Yanran. You can't even pinpoint my illness, but he can pinpoint it without looking at my medical history."

"Huh?" Yan Yanran looked at Xiao Xianglin with a frown.

Xiao Xianglin then asked her. "Are you able to diagnose my illness without examining my body?"

Yan Yanran was speechless in response; she was just a doctor with no superpowers, so such a thing was impossible for her.

Seeing one of her best friends react like that, Xiao Xianglin then explained to her again. "I just met him today, he doesn't even need to check my body for my disease, and his diagnosis is more accurate than you."

Her words made Yan Yanran even more speechless, and she kept looking at Xiao Xianglin suspiciously.

Chen Wei'er also couldn't help but shake her head at Yan Yanran's attitude, but she had been like that for a long time, so she ignored her and asked Xiao Xianglin. "What one condition did he put on you?"

Xiao Xianglin glanced at Yan Yanran briefly and answered Chen Wei'er. "He asked me to be his woman."

Chen Wei'er was stunned to hear that, for she was sure that the man was Chen Li and Xiao Xianglin was her best friend, but he actually put forward such conditions to her.

*Bam*

Yan Yanran pounded on her desk, stood up, and shouted. "I knew it! Hey, Xianglin! You better not believe his words; I'm sure he just wants your body!"

Hearing her best friend's reaction like that, Chen Wei'er immediately turned to Yan Yanran and scolded her. "Hey! You don't even know that guy! So you shouldn't accuse others carelessly! What if he can really cure Xianglin? Won't you be happy if he can really do it?"

"But-"

"No buts!" Chen Wei'er stood up, walked out, and pulled Xiao Xianglin along with her, leaving Yan Yanran dumbfounded.

Chen Wei'er's attitude confused Yan Yanran, for this was the first time she had heard of her defending a man, and she had never once done such a thing except for her nephew. "What happened to her? Why did she scold me for a man she doesn't know?"

Xiao Xianglin and Chen Wei'er were already sitting together in the car, and she then asked. "What's that man's name?"

"His name is Mo Xie." Chen Wei'er was finally convinced that she had not mistaken her nephew, and Xiao Xianglin said again. "I tried to recruit him into the bureau and gave him some good offers, but he immediately rejected me."

"I see." Chen Wei'er was not surprised by Chen Li's decision, especially since he is not a superpower posessor but a cultivator, and Xiao Xianglin obviously can't help him. "Then what is your decision? Are you willing to be his woman?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Xianglin raised her eyebrows and asked her back. "Why do I feel your reaction about Mo Xie is a bit strange? Have you known him before?"

"Eh?" Chen Wei'er finally realized her reaction was too much, but she confessed to her. "Honestly, I already know Mo Xie, but he forbade me to tell you about him, for he doesn't want to get involved with you or the bureau."

"I see." Xiao Xianglin nodded in understanding. "Do you know his character well?"

"En." Chen Wei'er nodded at her. "I know Mo Xie very well, and he is a good man, but he already has two wives."

"Huh?" Xiao Xianglin was shocked to hear that.

Chen Wei'er immediately grabbed Xiao Xianglin's hand and hurriedly explained to her. "Xianglin, you don't misunderstand Mo Xie. Although he has two wives, he treats them well, and his wives also has an excellent relationship."

"I see." However, Xiao Xianglin fell silent and thought deeply, for she found it hard to agree to Chen Li's condition, especially since he already had two wives, and she didn't want to share a husband with several women.

Chen Wei'er is, of course, very familiar with the character of her best friend, for they have been together since they were very young, and she embraced her shoulder. "Xianglin, I know it's hard for you to accept Mo Xie's situation. Since he told you that he can heal you, I believe he can do it. So I hope you can consider this opportunity carefully, for I don't want to lose my best friend."

"All right, I'll think about it first." Xiao Xianglin sighed and nodded. "Anyway, can you tell me about Mo Xie?"

"What do you want to know about him?" Chen Wei'er asked back with a confident look, for she felt that she knew her nephew very well.

"Everything."

"All right, I'll tell you everything, but we'll have lunch first and talk at your house afterward."

"Okay."

After that, Xiao Xianglin drove her car, went to their regular restaurant, and went straight to her house afterward.

Meanwhile, when Chen Li arrived near Guo Qing's house, he was startled by a notification popping up in his mind.

===

[Ding]

[Quest: Saving a Girl From Kidnapping]

[Time Limit: Five Hours]

[Reward: Lower Gift Package x1]

===

After reading the notification, Chen Li was shocked but didn't know where it came from. 'Can you trace this Quest, Sister Huoli?'

[I've already tracked it down; the girl is in the empty building about thirty kilometers from this place, and many men guard her.]

Upon hearing that, Chen Li immediately opened the map, and after he got the location, he immediately used Hidden Shadow Steps and moved there swiftly.
