Chapter 32: Why Are You Here (2)

During their first encounter, Ye Xiyao pretended to be foolish and casually took away his Black Heaven Treasure Box.

In their second meeting, he intended to retrieve the box but ended up witnessing her sneaking onto the Cloud Summit Platform, shattering the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Talent Crystal Pillar. She even kicked him later.

This time was even more amusing. The girl had just blown up a middle-grade Orange Rank Magic Tool right from the start... Luo Jiutian suddenly realized that in his thousands of years of existence, these few days had been the most entertaining.

Luo Jiutian felt like he was becoming addicted. He couldn't resist teasing her again, "Why? Miss Ye really doesn't want to know?"

"I don't care why you came, I only want to know when you'll leave!"

"Ha ha ha..." Luo Jiutian was thoroughly amused. After a while, he suppressed his laughter and returned to the main topic, "Miss Ye is indeed an intriguing person. However, I do have a favor to ask of you today."

"....What kind of favor?" Ye Xiyao was puzzled. How could someone like him need to ask for help? She hesitated for a moment before finally asking cautiously.

"I've heard that your young master was severely injured a few days ago, and doctors predicted that he would become crippled if he survived. Yet, Miss Ye proved them wrong by not only saving his life on the spot but also having his injuries almost fully recovered within just a few days... Is this true?"

"Whose words are you echoing?" This matter had long been sealed by Ye Hong, and only the members of the Ye family were aware. Yet, this man before her had mentioned it, causing Ye Xiyao to become cautious.

"Haha, there's nothing in this world that I, Luo Jiutian, am unaware of. Of course, Miss Ye is an exception..." With those words, he cast a meaningful glance at Ye Xiyao. Then, he continued, "So, Miss Ye, there's no need for such wariness. I have no ill intentions. My visit today is because I've heard about your exceptional medical skills, and I wish to ask for your assistance."

"Help whom?"

"Myself!"

Ye Xiyao was taken aback. Although she had guessed his motive when Luo Jiutian mentioned Ye Wuchen earlier, she never expected that he was the one seeking treatment!

Thus, she scrutinized Luo Jiutian from head to toe for a moment before returning her gaze to his face.

"How can you be so certain that I can save you?" After a brief silence, Ye Xiyao questioned him.

"I won't let any opportunity slip away," Luo Jiutian replied, glancing at the mess on the ground before breaking into a smile. "Of course, Miss Ye can rest assured about the compensation. Apart from that, I'll also do my best to assist you, like guiding you to find a suitable magical artifact or helping you pass Gu Ma's initial selection smoothly..."

Luo Jiutian spoke with an air of nonchalance, yet his words didn't come across as empty boasts. Everything he mentioned was particularly alluring to the current Ye Xiyao, so she agreed without a second thought.

Satisfied with her response, Luo Jiutian's face lit up with a smile. However, instead of immediately lifting his wrist for Ye Xiyao to take his pulse, he continued:

"Very well. Since Miss Ye has consented, it's settled then. But there's no rush in treating the illness; I'll visit again after the preliminary selection. As for the matter of the Dharmic artifact, someone will inform Miss Ye in due time."

With that, his figure flickered before vanishing. True to his word, on the third night, someone indeed came knocking at her door.
