Chapter 20: Collei's Heart is Touched by the Hope of Curing the Magical Scale Disease!
Looking at the whole city of Sumeru, who doesn't know the news that the young lady of the Humayi family is gravely ill?
At that time, the master of the Humayi family paid a lot of money to find famous doctors and posted bounties all over the city, making them known to everyone.
"I remember that Miss Humayi's family suffers from a disease called [Magical Scale Disease]!"
"That's right! I've been struggling for a long time, and all the doctors in the city have seen her. Without exception, there's nothing they can do!"
"Could it be that these well-known demonic diseases that cannot be cured have really been cured by the Khaenrians?!"
"Impossible!"
"I just saw Miss Humayi's skin; it's really much better than before!"
"That Khaenrian man is really amazing. He first helped people awaken the God Eye, and now he can even cure terminal illnesses!?"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion going on.
In recent days, there has been no news more explosive than the four words [Khaenrian people].
There might be some who don't even know who the lady of the Humayi family is.
But as soon as the words [Khaenrian] and [Master Ye Xi] are mentioned, it immediately attracts a large group of people to discuss!
"Did you hear? Miss Humayi's magical scale disease has been cured! It was cured by Master Ye Xi!"
"The family of Miss Humayi!? Ah, I remember that girl is so beautiful!"
"Who said she isn't! If that girl were healthy, someone would have come to propose marriage a long time ago!"
"Since it was cured by that Khaenrian man, does that mean... that the lady of the Humayi family has become someone else's concubine?"
"What a pity, I never thought such a beautiful girl would fall into the hands of an old monster who has lived for five hundred years!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I already have the image of Beauty and the Beast."
"First the number one beauty of Miaolun Academy, and now the lady of the Humayi family; this Master Ye Xi is truly blessed!"
"..."
Near the flower shop, there is a small tea house. A group of people with nothing to do are drinking tea and gossiping.
The men envy Ye Xi's beauty, while the women yearn for Ye Xi more and more.
"Miss Nasrin, this is your payment."
"It's not much, but please accept it!"
The florist carefully stored the dried flower decorations, took a small bag of Mora, and handed it to Nasrin.
"Thank you, owner!"
"They were originally free, so I accepted this Mora as your support for the guards!"
Although Nasrin is introverted, she knows a lot about the world.
Just like now, if this Mora is accepted openly, there is nothing wrong with it.
But it is inevitably impersonal.
If it is called a subsidy for the forest guards, it will make the owner of the flower shop feel that he has a noble character, and he will still be willing to pay Mora next time.
The shopkeeper laughed loudly: "This amount of money is not a subsidy. The dried flower decorations you made are really beautiful, and many customers like them very much!"
"Collei, shall we go to the next flower shop?"
"Collei?"
Nasrin shouted several times, but Collei beside her did not respond.
"Eh?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Nasrin."
Collei came back to herself and asked the florist: "Shopkeeper, I heard that people over there seem to be talking about curing the magical scale disease!"
"Oh yes!"
The shopkeeper nodded and explained: "It's the lady of the Humayi family."
"Hey, it's truly regrettable."
"The young lady has suffered from devil scale disease since childhood. They say she married Master Ye Xi and recovered from the illness."
Seeing that Collei was even more confused, the shopkeeper finally realized.
"Ah, you forest guards probably don't use vacuum terminals when you're in the forest."
"It's like this..."
There weren't many customers on Baoshang Street in the morning, and the flower shop was very quiet.
The shopkeeper recounted the story of the incident.
After Collei finished listening, her gaze fell on an unknown place, and she was silently stunned.
Nasrin felt a bit of a squeeze in her heart, but still persuaded her:
"Collei, I know you really want to cure the devil scale disease..."
"You also know that Mr. Tighnari said there is no possibility of curing the magical scale disease..."
"This Master Ye Xi doesn't seem like a good person, so these rumors might be to create a good reputation and attract more girls..."
In truth, she is not good at comforting people; she just wants to tell Collei what she understands.
After all, Collei is still young and lacks social experience.
In Nasrin's opinion, a person who wants to spend money to find a beautiful woman as a wife will certainly find a way to improve their reputation after being exposed to a cursed scandal.
Otherwise, how could a woman be hooked?
And the magical scale disease is one that the entire medical field of Sumeru has no remedy for.
If this disease could be cured, she would surely become famous, in exchange for much praise and reputation.
She was worried that Collei would be deceived, so she went to find Master Ye Xi and became a lost girl.
Originally, the pain is enough to torture people, but how useless would it be to be deceived and lose one's innocence!
Collei sighed softly, nodded, and said: "I understand, Miss Nasrin."
"I understand my illness, so I won't..."
