Chapter 425: Chapter 425: The Enigmatic Man
Doctors and patients around them looked at the Dragon Maiden with odd expressions before turning their gaze to Fang Bai, their minds running wild with guesses about the relationship between this beautiful woman and the Divine Doctor Fang.
Wu Tian secretly complained, as earlier the Dragon Maiden had insisted that Fang Bai come out to see a patient. Fearing it might disturb Fang Bai’s rest, he had argued with the Dragon Maiden for a few moments before finally bringing Fang Bai out. Now he was unsure whether his behavior might have offended this beautiful woman, who seemed to share a close relationship with Teacher Fang.
What if she were the spiteful type and, because of this, held a grudge against him, later whispering in Teacher Fang’s ear? Then wouldn’t he be in big trouble?
Everything Wu Tian had now could be said to have been given by Fang Bai, who with just a single word, could completely revert him back to his original state.
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his eyes filled with a pleading look as he gazed at the Dragon Maiden.
"My grandfather asked me to find you, Divine Doctor Fang, to handle some matters. If I can’t achieve this, it’ll be difficult to explain when I return... this is my ’heart disease’! But if Divine Doctor Fang you agree, then my ’heart disease’ will be cured!"
The Dragon Maiden then continued.
"Who’s your grandfather?"
Fang Bai asked with a frown.
Recently, Fang Bai had become acquainted with several influential figures from the older generation of prominent clans. He wondered if the Dragon Maiden’s grandfather might be the granddaughter of one of those great figures he had met.
Although that was what he thought, Fang Bai searched his memory and couldn’t seem to recall anyone with the surname Long among the people he knew.
"Long Jingtian!"
The Dragon Maiden enunciated each syllable of the name, her pretty face filled with pride!
"Long Jingtian? Don’t know him!"
Fang Bai shook his head and said.
"You..."
The Dragon Maiden’s eyebrows shot up in anger, and her almond-shaped eyes widened, seemingly displeased by Fang Bai’s ignorance of her grandfather’s renowned name.
However, after giving it some thought, the Dragon Maiden let it go.
Her grandfather was a detached and reclusive Master who was also the famous leader of the Huaxia "Dragon Guard," low-key and mysterious. In the entire Huaxia Ancient Martial World, there likely weren’t many who had heard of her grandfather’s fame, not to mention Fang Bai, a young guy who hadn’t been out and about for many years.
"This isn’t the place to talk; let’s go to my office."
Seeing that the doctors and interns in the acupuncture and massage room had stopped their work and were looking their way, and that there was a large queue of patients waiting outside, Fang Bai led the Dragon Maiden to his own office next door in order not to disrupt their normal work.
"Speak directly, I am really busy!"
Once inside the office, Fang Bai turned around to look at the Dragon Maiden and asked indifferently.
As he spoke, his Divine Sense swept over the Dragon Maiden, and his heart stirred slightly.
This mysterious woman with an unknown background was not only naturally beautiful, but also an exceptional cultivation genius. Her innate aptitude was so high that it was even stronger than those friends, dear ones, and beauties whom he had previously taught cultivation techniques and martial skills.
Although Fang Bai valued talent, he didn’t have the inclination to forcibly take away talents to make them his disciples. Unless someone was well-understood and of good character, even if they were a prodigy, he wouldn’t impart cultivation techniques or martial skills, so as not to bring calamity upon the world.
"Not even pouring a cup of tea, is this your way of treating guests? Forget it, I’ll do it myself..."
The Dragon Maiden turned to close the door, poured herself a cup of tea, then sat elegantly on the sofa, lightly sipping from the cup with graceful poise.
Fang Bai stood with his arms crossed, quietly observing the soft yet spirited woman before him, filled with admiration.
This woman possessed superior innate genetics as well as acquired nurturing, which had endowed her with a transcendental and extraordinary temperament. Even the act of drinking tea seemed to carry a unique charm when she did it.
Even Fang Bai, who had experienced tens of thousands of years in his previous life and seen countless beauties, had to admit that this woman held a significant allure for men.
But Fang Bai also knew that such a woman usually had high standards, and an ordinary man simply couldn’t tame her.
"Alright, I won’t beat around the bush anymore... Divine Doctor Fang is a person of the Martial Dao, I wonder if you’ve heard of ’Dragon Guard’?"
The Dragon Maiden asked with a smile as she faced Fang Bai’s gaze.
While Fang Bai was silently assessing her, wasn’t she also sizing him up?
In terms of looks, Fang Bai might not be the most outstanding man the Dragon Maiden had seen, but the indescribable aura about him made him appear different from any other man in the world.
When Fang Bai smiled, the Dragon Maiden thought he was like a warm and likable boy-next-door.
But when Fang Bai was serious, she would feel an emperor’s overwhelming power emanating from him, compelling her to become involuntarily tense.
Especially those eyes of his, brilliant as the stars, seemed to hold endless secrets. If one were to lock gaze with him for too long, it could even create a sensation of being trapped and unable to extricate oneself.
In short, Fang Bai gave the Dragon Maiden the impression—he was a man shrouded in mystery.
This man, when calm, was like a still well, approachable by anyone.
But when he got angry, he would surely be like surging waves crashing onto the shore, a volcanic eruption, swallowing and flooding everything around him.
"Is he really just a twenty-year-old young man? But why do I see in his eyes a sense of ancient and vicissitudinous depth that seems to stem from tens of thousands of years of experience? Such a strange feeling," the Dragon Maiden thought to herself.
Far from being frightened by the enigmatic Fang Bai, the Dragon Maiden found herself increasingly intrigued.
The Dragon Maiden was a stubborn person; the less she understood, the more she wanted to get closer and figure things out clearly.
"Dragon Guard?"
When Fang Bai heard the Dragon Maiden mention "Dragon Guard," his heart stirred again.
Before and after his conflict with the Wang Family in Yanjing, he had heard some mention of "Dragon Guard," aware that it was a mysterious organization, and Wang Huashan seemed to be one of its members—and not of low rank.
After Fang Bai had defeated Wang Huashan, some of his friends worried that the "Dragon Guard" would take revenge for Wang Huashan. Yet, the "Dragon Guard" showed no reaction.
From this matter, Fang Bai could tell that the "Dragon Guard" was not an organization that failed to distinguish right from wrong or good from evil.
"It seems Divine Doctor Fang does know about ’Dragon Guard’!"
The Dragon Maiden’s beautiful eyes clung to Fang Bai’s face, not missing a single expression.
From Fang Bai’s facial expressions, the Dragon Maiden could tell that he definitely knew about "Dragon Guard," or at least it wasn’t the first time he had heard of it.
Mmm, I’ve heard people mention ’Dragon Guard’ before, but I’m not quite clear on what it actually does... Heh, Miss Long shares the surname Dragon, could it be that there’s some connection with ’Dragon Guard’?"
Fang Bai asked with a chuckle.
The Dragon Maiden giggled, "Divine Doctor Fang has guessed correctly. My surname Long indeed comes from ’Dragon Guard’. My grandfather was the same. Both my grandfather and I were orphans, raised in ’Dragon Guard’, prepared to fight for ’Dragon Guard’ all our lives!"
Fang Bai asked with an indifferent expression, "Miss Long, why do you suddenly bring up ’Dragon Guard’? What does that have to do with me?"
