Chapter 255: Chapter 255
Xiaoyao really wanted to ask. He only knew that there were large numbers of wounded in the square, all quite seriously injured. At this time, there seemed to be more wounded being brought in from outside, and these wounded had all received some emergency treatment.
This meant that there was already a group of people handling the situation at the scene, which was why they were short-handed. Those in the square weren't all the members of Medicine Immortal Ridge, at least Xiaoyao hadn't seen that senior brother Men Wei.
What exactly was the situation? From the injuries, some people seemed to have suffered sword and blade wounds, like martial world fighting, but others seemed to have been hit by something, as if injured by some kind of collapse. Some people were covered in dirt, as if they had been buried in soil.
These circumstances left Xiaoyao somewhat confused about what was really going on. However, this didn't seem to concern him. Medicine Immortal Ridge seemed to have handled it well, no one had died so far. Truly worthy of being Medicine Immortal Ridge!
Because of this, Xiaoyao had no intention of getting involved. He continued using chopsticks to pick up steamed dumplings from his plate, eating quite enjoyably. His behavior initially didn't attract attention because the environment was somewhat chaotic, who would care about one person?
However, someone soon noticed him. The first person to notice might not have attracted others' attention, just thinking how could this person be , others were either busy or suffering, yet he was eating steamed dumplings from a plate.
Even so, he quickly forgot about Xiaoyao. After all, Xiaoyao was just an unimportant person!
Soon, another person noticed Xiaoyao, changing the situation. This person was Tian Yi. After treating a severely wounded person and handing them over to his disciples for care, he wanted to rest briefly. After straightening his body, he did a few stretching movements. During this, he saw Xiaoyao, so he froze.
This kid was too carefree! Even if this had nothing to do with him, his behavior was too annoying. His people were working themselves to death, and even if you won't help, at least show some spiritual support. What did this count as?
Tian Yi's freezing made many people notice the situation. After all, Tian Yi was a sect master, his actions always attracted attention. Because of Tian Yi, they began following his gaze toward Xiaoyao. At that moment, they felt the same powerlessness as those who had looked at Xiaoyao before, only able to stare at Xiaoyao with blank eyes.
Then more and more people became infected. Soon everyone in the venue was staring at Xiaoyao in a daze, and this seemed to happen in just the time it took Xiaoyao to eat two dumplings.
At this moment, everyone in the venue was thinking: What kind of person is this? At a time , he's still eating dumplings and not coming over to help...
"Uh..." When Xiaoyao picked up the third steamed dumpling, he discovered everyone was looking at him. His hand movements paused, and his mouth was also open.
Everyone was staring...
"Ah wu!" Xiaoyao ate the third steamed dumpling in one bite, slowly chewed it, swallowed it, then continued picking up the fourth...
Damn, what kind of person is this? He's actually still eating! Don't you know everyone is watching you? Don't you feel embarrassed?
Why should he feel embarrassed?
If Xiaoyao knew everyone's thoughts, he would ask back: I eat mine, you watch yours, what's embarrassing about that? Do I need your permission to eat breakfast?
"Young friend Xiaoyao, are you planning to just keep eating ?" Tian Yi asked.
"Mm, not finished yet. These steamed dumplings are quite good. Would you like to try some!" Xiaoyao nodded.
"..." Everyone was speechless. This wasn't asking if you were finished eating, nor offering to eat your steamed dumplings.
"Cough cough, young friend Xiaoyao, you can eat steamed dumplings anytime. Don't you think you need to do something else right now?" Tian Yi said very tactfully.
"Something else? What?" Xiaoyao acted like he didn't know.
"This situation before us, can you help save some people?" Tian Yi felt that if he continued being tactful, Xiaoyao would definitely continue acting like he didn't know. Better to be direct.
Tian Yi's words made people understand two things. First, Xiaoyao probably wasn't from Medicine Immortal Ridge, because Tian Yi called him "young friend," which definitely wasn't how one addressed sect members.
Second, Xiaoyao should know medical arts and could help save people, but now it seemed Xiaoyao wanted to stand by and watch.
Immediately, everyone began despising Xiaoyao even more. If you couldn't save people, then standing aside eating steamed dumplings would be slightly better, everyone would just think your behavior was inappropriate.
But now, you clearly could save people yet stood aside eating steamed dumplings without helping, that was a character problem, a moral problem!
Xiaoyao ignored everyone's stares and said, "With you all here, that's enough for saving people. People are already handling everything. If I helped, I might actually disrupt your order!"
In the current situation, Xiaoyao didn't think he needed to help. Medicine Immortal Ridge could completely handle it, everyone was already taking care of things. For him to help, there would need to be a place for him to intervene.
"..." Tian Yi fell silent, discovering that although his people were busy, they could indeed handle it. In that case, it was better to give his disciples a practical opportunity. Having Xiaoyao help really wasn't particularly necessary.
Tian Yi thought this way, but others didn't. They just felt Xiaoyao was refusing to save lives, unwilling to help people, and despised him greatly!
"Stop looking at me, continue! By the way, what's this situation? Why so many wounded? Natural disaster or human calamity?" Xiaoyao reminded everyone while asking casually.
"This counts as human calamity. These people were fighting over the alliance leader position, the arena collapsed, and finally even part of the mountain slid," Tian Yi explained to Xiaoyao.
"Alliance leader?" Xiaoyao was puzzled but didn't care. This kind of thing happened often in the martial world, very normal.
At this time, Xiaoyao hadn't yet realized that this alliance seemed quite large-scale. There were many sects represented among these people. His not noticing was also normal, he didn't know the differences between sects, just thinking this was a group of people.
"Where there are people, there's the martial world, and there will be conflicts. This saying is absolutely correct!" Xiaoyao sighed and shook his head, then prepared to go back. Staying here served no purpose, and he wasn't really fond of attracting hostile looks.
Most importantly, Xiaoyao felt these steamed dumplings tasted good and he could continue eating more...
Regarding Xiaoyao's intention to leave, no one cared now, and no one could care. This was all Xiaoyao's freedom. Currently there were at least enough people, and no one asked him to stay.
Just at this moment, a wounded person was brought in, making Xiaoyao stop in his tracks...
"Physician! Quickly get a skilled old physician, preferably Sect Master Tian Yi! My disciple is dying..." A beautiful woman in her thirties holding someone appeared like the wind, her speed even faster than wind.
From the woman's anxious attitude and the dust on her body, the person she was holding seemed very important to her. A disciple, of course, is very important!
This was a good master, at least concerned about her own disciple!
At the same time, this woman was also very strong. From her movement technique and current aura, she was clearly a powerful expert - not an ordinary one, but one of those at the top tier.
This woman had Emperor Level strength. Excluding special cases like Guxing, those who could reach Emperor Level by age thirty were geniuses among geniuses - extremely rare.
"Come here!" Tian Yi said. For this woman's request, an Emperor Level expert, Tian Yi still paid attention. Seeing her anxious expression, the person in her arms should be in great danger. At this time, he wouldn't worry about whether her naming specific people was discourteous.
The woman flashed and appeared before Tian Yi, carefully placing down the person in her arms. At this moment, everyone saw that the person in her arms was a young girl who looked very frail.
At this time, the girl's chest was covered with blood, and she had several obvious fractures, seemed very serious.
"Very serious injuries. Fortunately you sealed her pressure points. Come, I'll treat her immediately..." After Tian Yi said this, he prepared to begin treating the girl.
"What are your chances?" At this moment, a voice spoke up. If this voice came from the woman, it would be very normal, just a concerned question. For origınal chapters go to novęlfire.net
However, this voice didn't come from the woman, but from Xiaoyao, who hadn't left.
"About seventy to eighty percent!" Tian Yi frowned. At this time, he didn't pay attention to why Xiaoyao asked this question and directly gave an honest answer.
"Then let me do it!" Xiaoyao said, preparing to take over.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. Xiaoyao's meaning wasn't just saying his chances were greater, simply put, his medical skills were superior to yours.
This was too conceited! Actually saying he was more skilled than the Medicine Immortal Ridge sect master, absolutely ridiculous!
Also, in this situation, never mind the sect master not agreeing, even if the sect master agreed, would the patient let you treat her? What are you, a wet-behind-the-ears kid? Where would you have any advanced medical skills?
At this time, Tian Yi naturally knew Xiaoyao's medical skills weren't low, but exactly how much, he didn't know. However, since Xiaoyao said this, he also felt Xiaoyao should have this confidence. This was also his feeling about Xiaoyao, he felt Xiaoyao wasn't the type to make empty boasts. Since he said it, he should be able to do it.
So Tian Yi prepared to speak, to explain to the woman before him and get her to agree to let Xiaoyao treat, but before he could speak, something he didn't expect happened.
