Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 430 - 422: Suspected After Saving Lives

"It’s alright if nothing happened, it’s alright if nothing happened."

Exhausted, the group either lay down or sat, all panting heavily, looking extremely disheveled, with expressions of relief after surviving a disaster.

Suddenly, they heard a few groans, and some couldn’t suppress the intense pain and cried out. They were all severely injured disciples, and the uninjured ones were bandaging them.

There was only one person in the team with a bit of medical knowledge, which was far from enough.

Many disciples had their clothes stained red with blood, waiting for him to save their lives, while others could only assist him. Those severely injured had no way for help.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Let me help."

"Are you sure? Have you studied medicine?"

A senior brother with blood-stained hands asked uncertainly. He was trying to stop the bleeding for someone, but that person had a large bloody hole in their abdomen that couldn’t be stopped.

Cheng Xiaoxiao swiftly took out gauze, tweezers, needle and thread, and disinfectant alcohol from her backpack.

"Senior Brother, please help me hold his limbs, it might hurt a bit."

The person saw Cheng Xiaoxiao’s deft movements and unknowingly followed her instructions.

Even though it seemed unreliable, there was no choice but to trust her because he was now helpless and extremely anxious.

Disinfecting, stopping the bleeding, cleaning the wound, applying medicinal powder, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s skills were adept, fast but orderly, and the entire process was smooth. In no time, she managed to stop the person’s bleeding and stitched up the wound.

The two senior brothers helping with the pressing were so shocked that they were dumbstruck. Could a wound be treated like this?

They also had special hemostatic medicine, but this person was too severely injured, and the hemostatic medicine was not very effective. They also had oral elixirs with hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects, but the results weren’t as fast.

They didn’t expect such a severe wound to be treated so quickly.

The senior brothers were overjoyed and took her to another seriously injured person.

This person’s leg was broken, leaving a long cut, and there were several deep scratches on the back, with blood and flesh blurred. The injury was indeed severe.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was well-versed in dealing with such external wounds and immediately got to work.

As she focused on treating the injured, a gaze was fixed intently on her.

Could this person be a spy sent by the Third Imperial Brother?

Otherwise, how could someone with such good skills and medical knowledge just happen to meet him?

But such dedicated treatment of the wounded didn’t seem like a pretense.

Could he be mistaken? Was this person truly from Yanxia Peak?

Yet there had never been mention of such a person from Yanxia Peak before.

Yuan Yi began to doubt his negative assumptions, wondering if he was being overly suspicious.

His thoughts slightly sank. What if this person had ulterior motives, showcasing this skill to gain everyone’s trust, infiltrate their group, and then divide them?

Thinking of this, his eyes slightly narrowed and turned dangerous. If so, the person’s ambitions were significant, and this scheme too malicious to let go.

Watching his junior brothers express gratitude towards her, the other party revealed a sincere smile.

So pure, bright as the sun.

He was uncertain again.

In his mind, two little figures stood in opposition, verbally attacking each other, even fighting, both having valid reasons.

Extremely conflicted.

Regardless, he had saved so many disciples’ lives today. As long as he didn’t do anything to harm Songhe Peak or endanger the other disciples’ lives, he would treat him kindly. If there were other intentions, he should not blame him for being ruthless.

"Second Senior Brother, your wound has opened."

A concerned junior brother looked at Yuan Yi, whose arm wound was long, already bandaged before.

Perhaps his thoughts were too tense earlier, and he subconsciously clenched his fist, causing the bandaged gauze to ooze spots of blood.

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury."

Seeing the crimson bloodstains spreading, almost dyeing the entire cloth red, the nearby person couldn’t sit still.

"I’ll go get that little junior brother to re-bandage you. I’ve seen his skills are quite good; he’s saved many people."

Without waiting for Yuan Yi to reply, he ran over.

"Little junior brother, little junior brother, come quickly to see Second Senior Brother, his wound has opened."

Due to Cheng Xiaoxiao’s young age, small stature, and slender body, everyone here called her little junior brother.

But they didn’t expect that within that small and weak body lay courage and fierceness. In dealing with emus, she was ruthless, her body quick and agile, faster and more fierce than many.

After this battle, she gained recognition from many.

At this moment, she was also a competent doctor, making them admire and like her even more.

Yuan Yi also knew that through these interactions, the little disciple had gained quite a bit of goodwill and recognition in the team.

In the long run, everyone might let their guard down against him, not knowing if this was good or bad.

So young, with a face full of innocent and gentle smiles, it’s hard to suspect her intentions. She didn’t look like someone with deep scheming at all.

Hoping he was overthinking. Otherwise, this person would be terrifying, hiding so well and so deeply at such a young age.

With a slight turn of thoughts, his junior brother had already brought her in front of him.

He politely returned a smile, "Sorry to trouble you, little junior brother."

"Senior Brother Yuan, there’s no need to be so polite; we’re all brothers, no distinctions between you and me."

While Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke politely, her hands didn’t stop moving.

Skillfully unwrapping the gauze, the bright red, turned flesh looked exceptionally ghastly. The wound was indeed deep and needed stitching.

"Senior Brother Yuan, bear with it, the wound is rather deep. Stitching will heal it faster."

"Alright, no problem." He sat up straight, poised and ready.

Watching her focused and busy, he couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask, who taught you your medical skills? Such techniques, there may be no one in Tianyuan City who knows them."

After asking, Yuan Yi stared at Cheng Xiaoxiao without blinking, as if trying to discern something.

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled, but secretly cursed inside.

This man suspected her.

She really wanted to quit, cynically thinking that despite her best efforts to save him, he still doubted her.

Coming from such a place of intrigue, no one was simple or straightforward.

"This isn’t some profound medical skill. A few years ago, I learned medical skills from a wandering doctor for two or three years. All of this was passed on to me by him before he passed away, and I’m considered half his apprentice. Sadly, he succumbed to the five decays of nature and man before living to a hundred."

Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed, showing silent grief, looking very sad and sorrowful.

"I’m sorry."

"It’s alright. He passed away peacefully." She sniffed and forced a smile.

She casually made up a deceased person to see what he could say.

Even if checking revealed no such person, it would take effort, and by then she would have left already.

"Really?"

Yuan Yi looked skeptical.

"Hmm!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao pretended not to see, softly responding as she concentrated on stitching.
