The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 405: Fighting for the Immortal Spirit Grass

When the Khitan princess saw Bai Zixuan appear, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She said, "Bai Zixuan, it is your blessing that I like you. If you agree to go back to Khitan with me and become my consort, I will offer you this Lingxian grass with both hands. How about it?"

Bai Zixuan's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of surprise and embarrassment. He waved his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is not allowed. I have my own mission and responsibilities in the Central Plains. Besides, Your Highness and I have no relationship, how can I do such a thing? I hope Your Highness will take back your order, and we can discuss the matter of the Lingxian Grass in detail."

The Khitan princess's expression became even uglier after hearing this. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph, you dare to reject me! Do you know how many people would love to marry me? But you are so ungrateful. Since you don't want to, I won't let you off easily. Keep fighting!"

Following the Khitan princess's order, the Khitans launched a new round of attacks. This time, their offensive was more fierce, obviously inspired by the Khitan princess's anger.

Bai Zixuan, Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing stood back to back, cooperating with each other to resist the attack of the Khitans. However, their injuries became more and more serious, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to them.

Just when they were in a desperate situation, suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from the depths of the Black Wind Valley. The flute sound seemed to have a magical power, and everyone who heard it could not help but be intoxicated by it. Even the Khitans who were fighting fiercely stopped and looked puzzled.

The Khitan princess frowned and asked loudly: "Who is playing the flute? Go and see what's going on!"

A Khitan knight responded and ran towards the direction where the flute sound came from. Not long after, the knight ran back and said in a panic, "Your Highness, it is... a mysterious old man who is playing the flute. The old man looks very powerful, and there is a mysterious aura around him."

The Khitan princess was curious and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

As she said that, she led a group of Khitan people towards the direction where the flute sound came from. Bai Zixuan, Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing looked at each other. Although they were puzzled, they also knew that this was a rare opportunity to catch their breath, so they followed.

The group came to a quiet valley, where they saw an old man in a gray robe sitting on a rock playing a flute. The old man had a kind face and deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world. A layer of light mist surrounded him, adding a bit of mystery.

The Khitan princess stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you playing the flute here?"

The old man slowly put down the flute, smiled slightly, and said: "I am an idler in the world. I passed by here and heard that there was a dispute here. I wanted to calm the anger of the people with the sound of this flute. I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess can spare these young people from the Central Plains for my sake and let them take the immortal grass away?"

The Khitan princess was a little hesitant after hearing this. She looked at the Khitan people beside her, then looked at Bai Zixuan and others, and said, "Why do you think I should listen to you? This Lingxian grass is a sacred object of my Black Wind Valley. How can I let someone take it away so easily?"

The old man sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, everything in this world has its destiny. Although this Lingxian Grass grows in the Black Wind Valley, perhaps its mission is to save the Shaolin abbot. Moreover, if Your Highness can accomplish this today, you will be rewarded in the future."

The Khitan princess still felt a little reluctant after hearing the old man's words. But she also thought that the old man looked mysterious and might be really powerful. If she offended him, it would not be a good thing.

Just as the Khitan princess was hesitating, suddenly, there was another sound of horse hooves from afar. Everyone turned around and saw a group of mysterious people in black clothes rushing towards them. These people had cold faces and a gloomy aura that made people feel cold.

A mysterious man in the lead shouted loudly: "Stop it! This Lingxian grass belongs to us, no one can take it away!"

Now, the situation became even more complicated. Bai Zixuan, Su Yiyun and Li Qingqing looked at each other, wondering: Who is this immortal? Why did another group of people show up to snatch the immortal grass?

The Khitan princess also frowned and shouted at the mysterious people, "Who are you? How dare you come to my Black Wind Valley to make trouble and snatch the things that I have set my eyes on!"

The mysterious leader sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that we are determined to get this Lingxian Grass. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
