Chapter 425: The Enigmatic Man
Doctors and patients around them looked at the Dragon Maiden with odd expressions before turning their gaze to Fang Bai, their minds running wild with guesses about the relationship between this beautiful woman and the Divine Doctor Fang.Wu Tian secretly complained, as earlier the Dragon Maiden had insisted that Fang Bai come out to see a patient. Fearing it might disturb Fang Bai’s rest, he had argued with the Dragon Maiden for a few moments before finally bringing Fang Bai out. Now he was unsure whether his behavior might have offended this beautiful woman, who seemed to share a close relationship with Teacher Fang.
What if she were the spiteful type and, because of this, held a grudge against him, later whispering in Teacher Fang’s ear? Then wouldn’t he be in big trouble?ics as well as acquired nurturing, which had endowed her with a transcendental and extraordinary temperament. Even the act of drinking tea seemed to carry a unique charm when she did it.
Even Fang Bai, who had experienced tens of thousands of years in his previous life and seen countless beauties, had to admit that this woman held a significant allure for men.
But Fang Bai also knew that such a woman usually had high standards, and an ordinary man simply couldn’t tame her.
"Alright, I won’t beat around the bush anymore... Divine Doctor Fang is a person of the Martial Dao, I wonder if you’ve heard of ’Dragon Guard’?"
The Dragon Maiden asked with a smile as she faced Fang Bai’s gaze.
While Fang Bai was silently assessing her, wasn’t she also sizing him up?
In terms of looks, Fang Bai might not be the most outstanding man the Dragon Maiden had seen, but the indescribable aura about him made him appear different from any other man in the world.
When Fang Bai smiled, the Dragon Maiden thought he was like a warm and likable boy-next-door.
But when Fang Bai was serious, she would feel an emperor’s overwhelming power emanating from him, compelling her to become involuntarily tense.
Especially those eyes of his, brilliant as the stars, seemed to hold endless secrets. If one were to lock gaze with him for too long, it could even create a sensation of being trapped and unable to extricate oneself.
In short, Fang Bai gave the Dragon Maiden the impression—he was a man shrouded in mystery.
This man, when calm, was like a still well, approachable by anyone.
But when he got angry, he would surely be like surging waves crashing onto the shore, a volcanic eruption, swallowing and flooding everything around him.
"Is he really just a twenty-year-old young man? But why do I see in his eyes a sense of ancient and vicissitudinous depth that seems to stem from tens of thousands of years of experience? Such a strange feeling," the Dragon Maiden thought to herself.
Far from being frightened by the enigmatic Fang Bai, the Dragon Maiden found herself increasingly intrigued.
The Dragon Maiden was a stubborn person; the less she understood, the more she wanted to get closer and figure things out clearly.
"Dragon Guard?"
When Fang Bai heard the Dragon Maiden mention "Dragon Guard," his heart stirred again.
Before and after his conflict with the Wang Family in Yanjing, he had heard some mention of "Dragon Guard," aware that it was a mysterious organization, and Wang Huashan seemed to be one of its members—and not of low rank.
After Fang Bai had defeated Wang Huashan, some of his friends worried that the "Dragon Guard" would take revenge for Wang Huashan. Yet, the "Dragon Guard" showed no reaction.
From this matter, Fang Bai could tell that the "Dragon Guard" was not an organization that failed to distinguish right from wrong or good from evil.
"It seems Divine Doctor Fang does know about ’Dragon Guard’!"
The Dragon Maiden’s beautiful eyes clung to Fang Bai’s face, not missing a single expression.
From Fang Bai’s facial expressions, the Dragon Maiden could tell that he definitely knew about "Dragon Guard," or at least it wasn’t the first time he had heard of it.
Mmm, I’ve heard people mention ’Dragon Guard’ before, but I’m not quite clear on what it actually does... Heh, Miss Long shares the surname Dragon, could it be that there’s some connection with ’Dragon Guard’?"
Fang Bai asked with a chuckle.
The Dragon Maiden giggled, "Divine Doctor Fang has guessed correctly. My surname Long indeed comes from ’Dragon Guard’. My grandfather was the same. Both my grandfather and I were orphans, raised in ’Dragon Guard’, prepared to fight for ’Dragon Guard’ all our lives!"
Fang Bai asked with an indifferent expression, "Miss Long, why do you suddenly bring up ’Dragon Guard’? What does that have to do with me?"
