Hearing Sword One’s description of Xiu Jie’s anxious face, Gu Chaoyan more or less knew that something major had happened. It was getting late now, and Xiu Jie, this discreet and careful man, would be very aware of what to do and what not to do.

Therefore, for something unimportant, Xiu Jie would not have bothered her at this hour.

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while and gave up the thought of taking a bath. She nodded at Sword One. “If Xiu Jie needs us, let’s go and see what he wants.”

Sword One followed Gu Chaoyan as they walked out.

It was getting late, and Xiu Jie was passing on an important message, but he stayed outside the room rather than walk in. It was not a rule set by Gu Chaoyan, but Xiu Jie decided to do that himself. That was why Gu Chaoyan appreciated Xiu Jie. A rough man like Xiu Jie, as a matter of fact, was very careful when it came to small things.

They arrived at the yard…

Xiu Jie relaxed a bit at the sight of Gu Chaoyan, as if he had found the savior.

He took a few steps and said, “Elder Miss, something has just happened.”

“…”

“A while ago, some villagers who were badly injured were taken to Xinlin Clinic. When they heard that we cured dying men, they were taken here, but they could not simply pay the fees at this point.”

“…”

“I fed them pills.”

“…”

“Are you going to check on them yourself?” Xiu Jie asked.

It was late, and those patients were not able to pay within a short time. Although there were rules at Xinlin Clinic, Xiu Jie was aware that Elder Miss would not leave the dying alone. That was why he came to ask her for a suggestion.

When Gu Chaoyan heard that Xiu Jie already fed them the pills, she let out a sigh of relief. Those pills were powerful, and even for those who were badly injured, those pills could help to extend their lifespan. They would not pass away before she was able to make it.

However, Gu Chaoyan was still very worried.

She dropped everything else.

“Sword One, go and call Qing here. Sword Two, go and inform the Lord about this. Xiu Jie, we can talk as we walk. Don’t be delayed.” Gu Chaoyan looked very serious. After she gave the orders, she and Xiu Jie hurried away.

At this point, Xiu Jie felt that the load inside his heart finally released.

Elder Miss had decided to get involved, so the villagers would be saved.

Every one of them was very badly injured.

Gu Chaoyan asked as she was in a hurry, “Who hurt them? Is anyone from the Governmental Office taking care of this?”

As this question was asked, Xiu Jie sighed.

“Some lightly-injured villagers said that some monsters came down from the mountains and hacked at the villagers, who could not counter them at all. Many had already passed away on the spot. Many villagers drove away the monsters, yet too many had already died and those who were injured and almost died were carried here by the villagers.”

“…”

“As for the Governmental Office…” Xiu Jie showed a look of helplessness.
