"Sister, it hurts..."

Xu Xiaomeng was evidently frightened, and Shen Xinhe's strength was indeed not small. Xu Xiaomeng couldn't bear it and immediately showed a painful expression.

"Young Miss." Shen Zhong hurriedly reminded Shen Xinhe.

"Sorry."

Shen Xinhe, coming back to her senses, released Xu Xiaomeng and apologized.

"Little sister, I didn't mean it. Just now, when you said Little Shan brother, is he that Miracle Doctor Zhang?"

Xu Xiaomeng nodded weakly.

Shen Xinhe was suddenly shocked.

Miracle Doctor Zhang, with the surname Zhang, called Little Shan.

Zhang Xiaoshan.

Is this a coincidence?

"No, it must be him."

Shen Xinhe was exceedingly astonished. Such a coincidence!

She came to Qin Province this time hoping she might fortunately encounter Zhang Xiaoshan, and she unexpectedly did, though the setting seemed a bit off.

Also, she felt amazed. When she left Qin Province, Zhang Xiaoshan was no more than a small village doctor, at most opening a fruit and vegetable store in the county. Just a few months later, he'd become a renowned figure in Qin Province, regarded as a prominent figure, with martial arts cultivation daring enough to challenge Chen Jiao, who was reputedly undefeated under the God Realm in Northwest Martial Arts World. This transformation was quite extensive!

"Little sister, is your Little Shan brother from Wanshan County?"

Shen Xinhe asked tentatively.

Xu Xiaomeng gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, big sister, are you Little Shan brother's friend?"

Shen Xinhe was shocked internally. It was indeed Zhang Xiaoshan; she hadn't mistook the person. She hurriedly denied, saying.

"How could I know someone like Miracle Doctor Zhang? I've only heard some stories from tourists."

"Humph."

Chen Ziao on the side felt sour hearing the beautiful woman he fancied talking about Zhang Xiaoshan and spoke displeased.

"He's just a country boy who got where he is today by living off a daughter of a leader. In front of my Blood Flood Dragon Group, he's still an ant. Today you shall see how my father deals with him."

Shen Xinhe's eyes flickered with a hint of ferocity. Yet, she did not want her relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan to be known, so she restrained herself.

Xu Xiaomeng angrily shouted at Chen Ziao.

"You're lying! My Little Shan brother is extraordinarily talented and his martial arts are outstanding. He won't lose."

"Sigh."

Before Chen Ziao could say anything, Aunt Gui, who was with Xu Xiaomi, sighed and said.

"Miss, you're not a person of martial arts, thus naturally you don't understand the differences between martial arts cultivators. That Miracle Doctor Zhang can kill Jiang Ying and Yang Tao, his strength must have reached Late Stage of Qi Refining, perhaps even Qi Refining Peak. Certainly, at his age to achieve this, he can be said to be a genius. But there's still a difference among those at Qi Transformation Peak. Chen Jiao has been called unparalleled under the God Realm in Northwest Martial Arts World for a decade. The martial arts community recognizes him in the Qi Realm; he finds no opponents, let alone a young lad."

"This life-and-death battle is not just about one's realm; combat experience matters significantly. Chen Jiao has reached this point through countless life-and-death duels. However, Miracle Doctor Zhang is merely a young lad. If my guess is right, he achieved his current cultivation not through honest cultivation but likely by taking some miraculous elixirs."

"Facing Jiang Ying and Yang Tao, he might win by differences in realms or through using magic artifacts and fringe techniques. But against a master like Chen Jiao, only true strength counts."

"Frankly speaking, Chen Jiao has eaten more salt than Miracle Doctor Zhang has eaten rice. This battle has no suspense; the final victor will surely be Chen Jiao."

"What?"

Upon hearing Aunt Gui's description, Xu Xiaomeng immediately burst into tears, utterly remorseful.

"Aunt Gui, I..."

She wished to plead for help, but considering her father Xu Chihu's situation, she held the words at her lips.

"Wah wah wah."

She cried with a dejected expression.

Aunt Gui patted Xu Xiaomeng's back, gently comforting her, saying.

"Jianghu conflicts are always like this. Jianghu affairs must be settled within Jianghu. Even if we save this lad today, tomorrow the Blood Flood Dragon Group will still hunt him down. Hence, today's battle is inevitable; whether he survives is up to his fate. No one can help him; this is destiny."

On the side, Shen Xinhe perceived some clues.

Her heart felt a bit jealous, thinking to herself.

"Good grief, Zhang Xiaoshan is truly a beast. Having thoughts about his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu is one thing, but to also have intentions toward such a young girl..."

"Wait until I see you next time, I'll give you a couple of slaps."

As she thought about this, she probed Xu Xiaomeng with questions.

"Little sister, have you already promised to spend your life with Miracle Doctor Zhang?"

Xu Xiaomeng, blushing through her tears, hurriedly and nervously explained.

"No, no. He, he just sees me as his little sister."

"Little Shan brother is so outstanding; how could I be worthy of him?"

The two of them were already intimate, but in such a setting, Xu Xiaomeng of course would not admit it.

Especially the last sentence wasn't just a perfunctory lie; she genuinely thought so.

In her mind, Zhang Xiaoshan was the most perfect man in this world, incomparable to anyone. Offering her body to Zhang Xiaoshan was merely to repay him. She never dared to consider herself Zhang Xiaoshan's woman, always feeling unworthy of him.

Just being by Zhang Xiaoshan's side anonymously, fulfilling his needs, was already a great blessing in Xu Xiaomeng's heart.

How could she dare to ask for some legitimate title?

"Oh, another Qi Transformation Realm Martial Artist has appeared?"

Shen Xinhe shifted her gaze towards the bank.
