Chapter 1902: Messenger

“The Soul Essence Fruit is incredibly costly—most ordinary martial artists could save for years and still not afford one,” Dr. Wen said, stroking his beard with a smile. “But things are different at Heavenly Medical Valley. Within the inner sect’s grounds stands a mature Soul Essence Tree that bears a significant number of fruits every three years. The valley stores these fruits carefully, using them as yearly rewards for outstanding instructors and students.”

Xi Yue’s eyes widened slightly, a sparkle of wonder flickering within them.

Dr. Wen beamed. “If you’re willing to take on a position as an instructor in the outer sect of Heavenly Medical Valley, I guarantee that you’ll get at least one Soul Essence Fruit as part of your reward. After that, based on your teaching performance, you’d receive at least one Soul Essence Fruit each year. So, Xi Yue, what do you say? Interested in joining Heavenly Medical Valley as an instructor?”

Xi Yue’s long lashes lowered briefly in thought. After a moment’s pause, she lifted her head and replied, “Alright, I accept!”

Hearing this, Dr. Wen broke into hearty laughter. He appreciated Xi Yue’s straightforward, no-nonsense nature.

Handing Xi Yue a jade pendant for the outer sect of Heavenly Medical Valley, the two agreed on a time for her to report in. Only then did Dr. Wen leave, fully satisfied.

Xi Yue looked at the yellow jade pendant in her hand. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Soul Essence Tree, huh? Hmm, earning crystals to buy a Soul Essence Fruit sounds exhausting!

She had just heard from Little Red Bird that the branches of the Soul Essence Tree could regenerate. Although it was challenging to cultivate, she had the Ancient Rhyme Spiritual Field, so teaching at Heavenly Medical Valley while quietly earning herself a Soul Essence Tree was a great deal!

“Excuse me. Is this Sumeru Clinic?” A young voice suddenly interrupted Xi Yue’s thoughts.

She turned to see a tall, slender youth standing before her, peering curiously into the clinic.

Xi Yue asked, “How can I help you?”

“I’m looking for Xi Yue,” the young man said, studying her before his eyes lit up with recognition. “You must be Xi Yue, right? Someone asked me to give this to you.”

Surprised, Xi Yue took the letter from the young man’s hand. Just as she was about to ask who had sent it, he hurried off without another word.

The young man was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so pulling him back would have been easy for Xi Yue. But instead, she simply opened the envelope without stopping him.

Inside was a single, thin sheet of paper with just one line written on it.

As she read the line, Xi Yue’s pupils contracted sharply, and a fierce killing intent flared in her eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The message on the paper read: “Anling Yao is in critical condition. Please come to Heavenly Medical Valley at once.”

“Is everything alright, Xi Yue? Did someone just deliver something?”

Anling Yuan’s voice called out from inside the clinic, prompting Xi Yue to quickly tighten her grip and slip the letter back into her sleeve.

Keeping a calm, composed expression, she said, “I have an urgent matter to attend to at Heavenly Medical Valley. Cancel the appointments for the next few days and let everyone know.”

Anling Yuan asked anxiously, “What happened? Is Heavenly Medical Valley giving you trouble, or is it something else?”

Xi Yue exhaled softly and subtly crushed the letter to dust within her sleeve.

Anling Yao was now the Anling Family’s only hope. If anything happened to her, her grandfather and uncles would likely be devastated.

With a flick of her wrist, she took out the yellow jade pendant Dr. Wen had given her. “It’s nothing serious. Dr. Wen wants me to take up an instructor position in the outer sect of Heavenly Medical Valley, so I plan to depart today.”

“W-what?! An instructor?!” Anling Yuan stared in shock at the young man before him. He was so stunned that all his earlier worry and anxiety vanished from his mind.
