Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 107 - Bad Joke

Xu Lao and She Liu looked at it for a moment after hearing Feng Xian's unceremonious words. Their feelings were a little jumbled, but they were happy to know Feng Xian was willing to listen to their explanation.

It was evident from the actions of Feng Xian who had asked them to follow him to the terrace of his residence. Xu Lao and She Liu sat opposite Feng Xian.

"You've come all the way here, I'm a bad host if I don't entertain you, right?" Feng Xian did not wait for the answer of the two and called out to someone, "Xiao Ni-!"

Just a few breaths apart, a man with a physical appearance slightly younger than Feng Xian appeared and approached them carrying tea utensils.

His presence shocked Xu Lao and She Liu who had known Feng Xian lived alone on Star Moon Island. Not only that, from Xiao Ni's body also emitted a powerful aura that seemed to be deliberately not hidden.

"Senior, he's this..." She Liu glanced at Xiao Ni curiously.

Feng Xian did not answer. He coded Xiao Ni through an eye glance.

"Your seniors, my name is Xiao Ni, Senior Feng's follower. It was an honor to meet Senior Toad Grandfather Xu Lao and Senior Snake Grandmother She Liu." Xiao Ni introduced himself after serving tea to the three people there.

It was quite surprising to the two that Xiao Ni knew the nickname even their full names, something not many outsiders of the sect knew. But their attention is more focused on the word 'followers'.

"followers?" Xu Lao and She Liu frowned together, "I thought he was your disciple, Senior Feng." She Liu continued.

"Oh, have you heard of my students? The news spread so quickly, that I had only briefly reappeared to the outside world, as well as my disciple."

Xu Lao and She Liu both thought Feng Xian was pretending to be stupid, ignorant, and surprised.

"This is indeed a Senior surprise. Before we only heard about you and only heard about your student on the way here. Your student is indeed great, in a short time already got the nickname."

Feng Xian raised next to his brows, "None? Whatchu mean?"

"Eh, Senior doesn't know? We heard that your disciple was dubbed the Blue Lotus Physician."

Feng Xian was silent for a moment before laughing out loud. His reaction shocked Xu Lao and She Liu, but not with the thinly smiling Xiao Ni.

Feng Xian had not clearly known Yao Han's actions since leaving Star Moon Island, but he gained a bit of an image upon hearing the nickname 'Blue Lotus Tabib' pinned on his disciple.

"Is there anything funny, Senior?" ask Xu Lao.

Feng Xian's laughter slowly subsided then shook his hand slowly a few times, "Forget it, there's no need for you to think about it. Drink this Silver Grass Tea, my own disciple concocted the ingredients."

Indeed after Xiao Ni finished serving tea to the guests, Xu Lao and She Liu were tempted with the fragrant aroma of tea. After sensing that bit of tea, Xu Lao and She Liu's minds became slightly calmer and their bodies were more relaxed.

Feng Xian deliberately asked Xiao Ni to serve the Silver Grass Tea after sensing the presence of the two, as it was a pity to present the Moon Peach Arak for guests. Of course Xiao Ni understood how stingy Feng Xian was for wine though.

"There's no need to mince words, so tell me what you mean here."

Xu Lao and She Liu cleared their throat slowly covering their awkwardness, Feng Xian as if he could read their minds. Then Xu Lao conveyed the needs of both.

Without even thinking twice about Feng Xian's unexpected openness, Xu Lao immediately told him everything, including all the ways the Poison Heart Valley had done to deal with Xu Yang's condition.

Feng Xian listened carefully without cutting. Xu Lao's story might be too detailed, but it made it easier for Feng Xian to think quickly about handling the poison in Xu Yang's body.

Finished listening to the story, Feng Xian let out a long sigh with a serious look on his face, making Xu Lao and She Liu wary.

"Senior, we hope you're willing to help." Xu Lao was anxious.

Feng Xian laughed softly and grinned, "His son of the Patriarch must be very important. Suppose I want to help, are you willing to pay me half the treasures of the Poison Heart Valley?"

Xu Lao, She Liu, and Xiao Ni coughed together, even Xiao Ni glared at Feng Xian.

"Senior Feng! You're so outrageous!" Xiao Ni pointed to Feng Xian, "The base of greedy humans! The tamarind! Crazy treasure!" Xiao Ni seemed to vent all his emotions.

Feng Xian's reaction? He just shrugged his shoulders casually without feeling offended at all. Xu Lao and She Liu were more surprised by Feng Xian's earlier remark than Xiao Ni's reaction to Feng Xian.

Xu Lao gulped nervously, "Senior..."

Feng Xian raised his hand, stopping Xu Lao's 'whimpering.

"Take it I was joking."

Xu Lao and She Liu immediately smiled awkwardly, while Xiao Ni snorted softly. Inwardly, they cursed at Feng Xian's joke.

'Senior Feng has a bad sense of humor.' It was hard to guess whether Feng Xian was joking or not.

"Back on this matter of the boy named Xu Yang. Honestly speaking, he was lucky that the sky still loved him. The condition is very bad and I can't necessarily cure it with my pills. The healing process is complicated and takes a long time. Because it can't be cured just like that, so it has to be done several times until he's healed perfectly."

Feng Xian's answer was like a bolt of lightning in broad daylight for Xu Lao and She Liu. Despite realizing Xu Yang's poor condition, they did not expect Feng Xian to even hesitate with his healing abilities.

Feng Xian smiled faintly at the look on the ugly faces of his hands.

"There's actually one person who can cure your great-grandson. His handling in poison was better than mine and the time required in the process was fairly short. And most importantly, you don't have to pay half your sect's treasure."

Feng Xian chuckled at the end of his sentence. He did not realize that he was playing with the feelings of two older people in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Senior Feng, I seemed to have misheard. Is there anything beyond your ability to treat? Who's she?" She Liu asked doubtfully. He was quite amazed to hear Feng Xian's indirect praise of others.

"Of course there is. To be honest it's hard for me to admit this, but he'll surpass me in the future. Ah, no, I think he's been out past me long enough. As time goes on, his abilities will mature even more."

She Liu slightly narrowed his eyes, "Senior Feng, this person you are referring to...don't tell me is your disciple?"
