Chapter 1588

Mi Xiao sneered from the side. "It’s just thick skin. If you want someone’s man, just say so. Why make excuses about being young? I doubt anyone believes that. Aren’t you ashamed of your sect?"

"Junior Sister Xiao Xiao, please don’t speak like that. Especially not so directly," Gu Jun coughed, though he secretly agreed with her.

Zhu Yanyi almost laughed at Gu Jun’s attempt to stop Mi Xiao. It wasn’t really stopping her; it was admitting she was right.

Hearing this, Zi Ni looked angry but dared not look at Mi Xiao. She was from a sect, but Mi Xiao was from the Sage Academy. Mi Xiao’s status was higher. Zi Ni could be angry but dared not speak.

"What’s wrong?" Yan Aohan arrived with a food tray. He saw Zhu Yanyi’s unhappy face. His expression remained calm, but his eyes showed deep care.

Zhu Yanyi looked at him. "This Miss Zi Ni is defending you. She says I shouldn’t make you fetch things. I think she’s almost saying I’m not gentle enough for you." It wasn’t Yan Aohan’s fault, so Zhu Yanyi didn’t complain to him. But she could tell on others.

"Who does she think she is? Why do you care about her words?" Yan Aohan didn’t care who Zi Ni was. If anyone made his wife unhappy, he would give them no respect.

"Lord Yan, she likes you," Mi Xiao said with a smile. "That’s why she uses her young age of twenty-one to openly dislike the Little Divine Doctor."

"If she is young, she should stay home and be educated. Why come out and cause trouble?" Yan Aohan said coldly.

Zi Ni couldn’t believe Yan Aohan would treat her this way. His words felt like knives in her heart. She looked at him in shock.

Yan Aohan ignored her completely. He didn’t even look at her. He only spoke to Zhu Yanyi. "Here. The saury, bird’s nest, and rice cakes you wanted. Try them. They are hot." He carefully placed Zhu Yanyi’s order in front of her first, then took out the rest.

"What did you order for yourself?" Zhu Yanyi asked Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan pointed to a large bowl of fried rice. "I was hungry. This fills the stomach easily."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her and called a staff member. "Bring a lion’s mane mushroom and euryale seed soup." The staff member recognized Zhu Yanyi and went to prepare it immediately.

She then told Yan Aohan, "Fried rice is dry. It hurts the stomach. When the soup comes, eat it with the rice."

She ate half the bird’s nest and put the other half in front of Yan Aohan. "Eat this first."

Bird’s nest was good for everyone. Zhu Yanyi gave it to Yan Aohan because he didn’t care about health. Fried rice was okay occasionally, but not often. It had too much oil.

The lion’s mane mushroom soup arrived quickly. Zhu Yanyi placed it in front of Yan Aohan, then started eating her rice cakes.

Yan Aohan smiled at Zhu Yanyi. He began to eat his rice and drink the soup slowly.

Mi Xiao watched them. "You two are showing off your love again. It makes me want to find a boyfriend too."

"Then find one. I think your senior brother would be happy if you found one soon," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

"Let’s not. I have the desire, but not the luck. You know our situation. If I find a boyfriend here, I worry that by the time my son has white hair, I will still be young and single." Students in the Sage Academy aged slower than others. Mi Xiao looked young, but her real age was not young. It was hard to find a man of the same age.

Zhu Yanyi sighed silently. Sometimes, living long wasn’t good. People in the Sage Academy might not live forever, but they could live hundreds of years longer.

"Don’t sigh. Don’t worry. You will find your destined partner," Zhu Yanyi said. She felt Mi Xiao would have a husband who loved her very much.

The timing was just late. It would happen.

Zhu Yanyi ate the grilled saury and looked at Gu Jun. "Brother Gu Jun, why did you call us here? Is something wrong?"

Since she called them, something must have happened. Zhu Yanyi needed to ask.

Gu Jun smiled. "It’s not my business. It’s this junior brother from Zihua Sect who has a request for you."

Zi Jixiong from Zihua Sect bowed to Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, I indeed have a request for you."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Zi Jixiong and nodded slightly. She already guessed her purpose but didn’t show it. She smiled and asked, "What is it? Speak directly. I don’t like beating around the bush."

From the moment Zhu Yanyi introduced her family, Zi Jixiong realized she didn’t like calculating or scheming. So she spoke seriously. "Actually, it’s like this. Our sect leader suffered from deviation in cultivation. She is now paralyzed on one side. We hope the Little Divine Doctor can save her."

Zhu Yanyi took a bite of fish and nodded. "Where is your sect leader?"

"He is currently resting in Zihua Sect," Zi Jixiong said quickly.

"I have several patients needing surgery soon. I cannot leave the capital. If you really seek medical help, bring the patient to the capital," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. She studied medicine to save people. If the patient came, she would naturally help.

"In that case, I will call the sect immediately. I will ask the senior brother to send the sect leader here," Zi Jixiong said quickly. Arranging transport was easy if Zhu Yanyi agreed.

"Okay," Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "One thing. The mortal world has its rules. I hope you don’t cause too much disturbance when bringing the patient."

"We won’t. We know we must respect mortal rules when entering the world. Please rest assured, Little Divine Doctor," Zi Jixiong promised quickly.

"Fine. When you bring the patient, contact me directly." Zhu Yanyi took out a business card and handed it to Zi Jixiong. "My phone number is on it. Call me when they arrive. I will arrange the hospital admission."

"Thank you." Zi Jixiong carefully put the card away.
