Xu Yao asked the old Taoist priest to step back a little. She drew the soft sword from her waist and walked lightly towards the room.

She looked around the room and saw no one. Others would probably leave after seeing this, but could Xu Yao be an ordinary person?

She had sensitive ears. She walked to a water tank, walked around it, stayed for a while, and then turned around and came out.

The Immortal of the South Sea was very surprised when he saw her actions.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Yao pulled him out. When they were outside, Xu Yao said to him, "Since they are hiding, they probably don't want to be found by others. We are just passing by. Why bother to scare others?"

The immortal thought it made sense. Since they couldn't save anyone, they should just let the two men hide.

Xu Yao thought about it and decided to put a bag of millet grain that he found somewhere else at their doorstep before leaving with the old Taoist priest.

"You're quite soft-hearted."

Xu Yao: "The grain is all old rice. If it's left there any longer, it will get moldy. I can't carry it. Isn't it better to give it to others?"

Xu Yao didn't say anything. She heard breathing sounds and the person inside might be injured.

The old Taoist priest said that she was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, and Xu Yao told him not to guess what a woman was thinking.

"You have been practicing for so long that you probably don't know what a woman is. In your eyes, people have no gender distinction."

The old Taoist paused and felt that it made a lot of sense and was indeed the case.

At his age, he looks at everything in the world, men, women, old and young, and has no prejudice against gender.

To him, they were all just mortals, except that men were stronger and women, the elderly, and children were weaker.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two of them left, someone chased after them.

"Master, Master, please stay. Master, please stay."

Xu Yao had heard the footsteps a long time ago and had no intention of interfering. But since he had shouted to stop, it would seem a bit rude if he didn't stop.

Besides, before she stopped, the old Taoist priest had already stopped and turned around.

Xu Yao could only slow down his pace and turned around, only to see a short man in patched clothes and covered in dust running towards them. When he got to them, Xu Yao realized that he was a thin young man.

The young man had a handsome face. When he saw Xu Yao and the others stop, he was filled with joy. He ran up to them, panting heavily, and knelt down immediately.

Xu Yao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that such a big gift was what he wanted.

She retreated behind the Immortal of the South China Sea and said, "You take care of this matter." At this time, Xu Yao decided to play dumb.

The Immortal of the South China Sea asked the young man to stand up first and asked him what his name was.

"Master, my name is Ah Qing. May I ask if you are heading to Wanzhou?"

Nanhai Xianweng nodded. Ah Qing was very anxious and said hurriedly, "You can't go to Wanzhou City. It has been occupied by Beichen people. Those people are coming with great force and will kill without blinking an eye. If you go, you will lose your life."

So he knelt down to beg them not to die?

Xu Yao was surprised at the kindness of this person, but more than one person had said this to them, so Xu Yao thought that the massacre might be true.

Nanhai Xianweng had a blank expression on his face and said to the young man, "We appreciate your kindness, but we have something important to do and must pass through Wanzhou City. We have to go."

Seeing that he would not listen to her advice, Ah Qing quickly pulled his sleeve with her hands, and then she saw that her hands were very dirty, so she quickly pulled them back and wiped them on herself, feeling embarrassed and nervous: "Master, you did not force your way through the door just now, exposing our existence, and you left food. You are really kind people. My master and I don't want to see you take risks. Wanzhou City was broken, and the Great Zhou and Beichen fought fiercely, with countless casualties. I'm afraid Beichen will continue to move south and kill more people. You must not go."

Nanhai Xianweng suddenly asked, "Is your master seriously injured?"

Ah Qing was stunned and asked the Taoist priest how he knew that.

"You smell like herbs. I'm afraid your master is seriously injured. If you don't mind, I'll take a look at him?"

Xu Yao glared, ready to meddle in other people's business.

However, she felt that this old Taoist priest was a little weird. It's not that he didn't save people along the way, but his eyes were compassionate and calm towards ordinary people.

But even though Xu Yao had never seen the face of this man, he could tell something fishy from the glow in his eyes.

Could it be that the person I’m about to rescue is something special?

Xu Yao followed the two men back to the village without saying a word. In the previous yard, there sat a man with a short beard.

The man was about thirty or forty years old, his skin was slightly pale, his lips were very white, and he had bandages on his body, obviously injured.

Xu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the Immortal of the South China Sea, wondering what he was up to.

Ah Qing introduced the two people and said that when the Taoist priest smelled the herbs on him, he knew that his master was injured, so he kindly came back to treat his master.

The man coughed twice, but without any doubt, he stretched out his hand generously and thanked the Taoist priest.

Xu Yao found it weird. How could these two strangers trust each other so much as soon as they met?

Where did her wariness go? Could it be that her bag of rice had such a big effect?

Xu Yao didn't think so, but she clearly saw that there was something unusual in the old Taoist's eyes.

Xu Yao couldn’t tell what the problem was yet, but there was definitely a problem.

The Immortal of the South Sea took the man's pulse and said that his injury must be treated with medicine in time, otherwise it would damage the root. Even if he recovered in the future, it would leave hidden dangers and affect his future life.

Xu Yao shook his head as he listened, and at the same time felt very amazed at the Chinese medicine's ability to infer lifespan.

Ah Qing hurriedly said, "Master, is there any way to cure my master? Tell me what medicine he needs and I will find a way."

Xu Yao couldn't help but think, everything has been burned, killed and looted, where can you find medicinal herbs?

If you knew medicinal herbs, why would you have let your master be injured for so long without any cure?

Unexpectedly, Nanhai Xianweng turned around and looked at Xu Yao, "What are you looking at me for?"

"You have a medicinal ingredient for my prescription. Please lend it to me for now."

"What medicinal materials?"

"Ginseng."

Xu Yao almost vomited blood, "How do you know I have ginseng?"

She hid it very well, how did the old Taoist priest know it?

But she regretted it as soon as she said it. How could she have said it so quickly?

Now she had to borrow it even if she didn't want to, and she had tricked the money out of a pilgrim.

The man wanted only to have a son, so he ate a lot and became fat, but didn't like to exercise.

Xu Yao suggested a way to cheat him out of the ginseng. Unexpectedly, half a year later, the rich businessman actually made his wife pregnant and gave birth to a son.

For this, the rich businessman sent more gold and silver to thank Xu Yao for fooling him.

Xu Yao had been keeping this matter a secret, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist priest knew everything.

He reluctantly took out the ginseng wrapped in red cloth from his bag and handed it to Ah Qing.

Ah Qing was so happy when he got this gift that he couldn't speak.

The Immortal of the South Sea prescribed a medicine, and some of the herbs he carried with him were just right for treating the strange man.

Xu Yao thought to herself that she would have to stay here tonight. She sighed and thought she was slow enough, but she didn't expect that this immortal was even slower than her.
