Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Father, what’s wrong?” Huo Yunsheng only heard his father’s exclamation and didn’t catch the conversation with the old butler, assuming something serious had happened.

Xu Xingguang, with her keen hearing, did catch the entire conversation between Huo Canghai and the old butler.

She found it amusing.

What did he mean by saying she didn’t love Huo Wen’an, she was just fishing?

Have you ever seen someone who, while supposedly fishing, is willing to give the fish a ring, spend millions on fireworks, and even soak in ice water during her period to find medicine for that fish?

Very well, old fellow, this grudge between us is sealed.

Loss of composure lasted only a moment. Huo Canghai quickly adjusted his expression, thinking: perhaps it’s just a coincidence of having the same name.

But instinct told Huo Canghai that this Xu Xingguang was indeed that Xu Xingguang.

”The Medicine Farmer Star has arrived!”

In the hospital lobby, a young member of the Huo Family saw the Old Helmsman bringing a young person through the accessible passage from outside the main entrance and immediately shouted, ”The Medicine Farmer Star is here!”

Upon hearing this, the Huo Family members gathered at the lobby entrance, looking towards the accessible passage as if they were tourists viewing a giant panda.

The Huo Family pressed forward, leaving Jiang Heng with no position but to stand at the back.

He couldn’t even see Huo Canghai, let alone the face of the Medicine Farmer Star.

Standing at the back, Jiang Heng heard the Huo Family whispering: [Oh, the Medicine Farmer Star is such a beautiful young girl!]

[Is she really that young?]

[Truly, one can’t judge a book by its cover.]

Hearing this information, Jiang Heng was utterly stunned.

The Medicine Farmer Star is a young girl?

This completely contradicted Jiang Heng’s assumptions and fantasies about the identity of the Medicine Farmer Star.

Upon learning that the Medicine Farmer Star was a young girl, Jiang Heng suddenly felt a bit of unease for some reason.

As Huo Canghai came over, a path naturally opened up in the crowd.

Huo Canghai led Xu Xingguang through the crowd, and soon she appeared in Jiang Heng’s line of sight.

The young Medicine Farmer Star wore a light, purple silk dress, with a shawl gracefully draped over her shoulders. Her cascading long hair flowed like a waterfall, accentuating her dazzlingly fair skin.

As she walked through the crowd, her ethereal aura and stunning, city-stopping beauty captured the eyes of everyone present.

Her young and unexpected beauty left people in awe.

She...

Jiang Heng’s lips moved as if he was saying something, yet he couldn’t utter a sound, as if he were mute.

”...Xu Xingguang!” finally, a hoarse call escaped Jiang Heng’s mouth.

No wonder she brought a coffin and disrupted his wedding day, and Jin Yunhai, Xia Country’s commander, personally escorted her.

It turned out she was the Medicine Farmer Star who saved Xiahou Huai Gui!

Hearing her name, Xu Xingguang paused slightly, turned her head, and locked eyes with Jiang Heng standing at the back of the crowd.

This scene was caught by the Huo Family members, who smelled gossip in the air.

Huo Canghai’s sharp, eagle-like eyes also fixed on Xu Xingguang and Jiang Heng.

What is this?

Could it be that Jiang Family’s boy is also one of Xu Xingguang’s fishes?

Xu Xingguang was genuinely surprised; the last time in West Continent City, she was so disgusted by Jiang Heng that she lost her appetite.

She didn’t expect to run into this nauseating creature on Divine Concealment Island.

Xu Xingguang gave Jiang Heng an inscrutable smile and said in a playful tone, ”What a coincidence to meet Mr. Jiang Heng here.”

Staring at the provocative smile on Xu Xingguang’s lips, a string in Jiang Heng’s mind suddenly snapped.

”You are the Medicine Farmer Star!”

In an instant, many of the points that puzzled and confused Jiang Heng found their answers.

Since Xu Xingguang is the Medicine Farmer Star, it makes sense why she would promptly reply to others’ medical inquiries via email but always ignore his.

It also explains why she was unwilling to treat Bai Xuan and instead suggested he go to Dongyang Mausoleum to get medicine in such a peculiar manner.

Because Xu Xingguang had already uncovered the relationship between Bai Xuan and Bai Xi, she intentionally masqueraded as the Medicine Farmer Star, hiding behind a computer to weave a web, luring him to Dongyang Mausoleum to meet Bai Xi, thereby unveiling the truth.

He deceived Xu Xingguang, used her, and stole her blood to cure Bai Xuan.

Xu Xingguang wanted him to tear open that bloody truth with his own hands, to see Bai Xuan’s true face, and realize his own failure.

She truly was heartless!

In West Continent City, Jiang Heng had still believed that Xu Xingguang had lingering feelings for him. He thought she dated a poor boyfriend to provoke him and deliberately came to West Continent City to act, all to assert her presence before him.
