Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

"Xiao Zhe? How is it you?"

Jiang Qinglan looked at the sweating Sun Zhe in front of her, visibly surprised.

"Uh... who else could it be?"

Sun Zhe gave an awkward smile, thinking of this morning’s events as he faced the absolutely stunning empress.

He imagined Second Aunt would have seen the unseemly mess left on the battlefield when she stepped into it uncleaned.

But seeing Jiang Qinglan’s reaction now, Sun Zhe realized she wasn’t following him here; she seemed to have come to the Undying Pavilion for something.

"Second Aunt, please have a seat first."

Sun Zhe brought over a plastic chair for her.

Jiang Qinglan gave Sun Zhe a long look, her gaze unintentionally drifting below his abdomen, a blush spreading across her beautiful face.

Like Sun Zhe, she couldn’t help but recall this morning’s events.

"So, you’re the Pavilion Master of the ’Undying Pavilion’?"

Sun Zhe nodded.

"Truly impressive."

Jiang Qinglan elegantly crossed her slender black-stockinged legs as she sat on the plastic chair, looking at him with pride, as if she shared his glory.

Sun Zhe asked, "How did you learn about the Undying Pavilion? Did you just pass by and see it?"

Jiang Qinglan chuckled, "I had heard reports from my people about a newly opened medical clinic in the underground arena run by a mysterious Pavilion Master with unparalleled medical skills and high proficiency in alchemy. So I thought I’d take the time today to visit this master."

Sun Zhe gave a simple, honest smile, "That master is me."

"Indeed." Jiang Qinglan covered her mouth with a laugh.

Sun Zhe asked, "So this morning when you said you wanted to take me to the underground arena for a stroll, it was to have me accompany you here?"

Jiang Qinglan, a bit embarrassed, nodded, her eyes filled with grievance as she probably recalled the scenes from this morning, "Yes, but someone fled without a word."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe gave a dry laugh, rubbing his nose and turning his head to pretend he hadn’t heard her complaint.

Jiang Qinglan laughed softly, "I initially thought it was an old gentleman, but it turned out to be a young man."

"But on second thought, it’s not surprising. After all, you were raised by Old Master Sun, and you must’ve learned a lot of his skills over the years."

Sun Zhe nodded, full of confidence, "My medical skills aren’t up to my grandfather’s yet, but I can handle various difficult illnesses."

"Truly remarkable."

Sun Zhe said seriously, "So, is there something you need? A medical check or some alchemy?"

Jiang Qinglan thought for a moment, then said, "A check-up."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe frowned slightly, fixing his gaze on her eyes, "Actually, when I first saw you, Second Aunt, I sensed your energy was somewhat weak, with a hint of illness between your brows."

Jiang Qinglan was surprised, half doubtful, "Really? You’re not just making it up to prove your medical skills, are you?"

Sun Zhe’s face turned dark, "Look at how you put it... Don’t reveal what’s obvious, okay?"

Jiang Qinglan giggled, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you; Second Aunt definitely believes in your medical skills."

"That’s right, I assure you I’ll treat you well."

"..."

The laughter and teasing between them seemed to dissolve a lot of the subtle awkwardness.

Jiang Qinglan candidly said, "In my early years wandering the martial world, there was constant bloodshed and turmoil, with various injuries accumulating in my body. Over time they became chronic ailments, which even many renowned doctors couldn’t help with. Normally it’s fine, but the pain is severe during thunderstorms."

Sun Zhe’s expression darkened slightly, and he stood up, saying, "Let’s go inside, and I’ll take a look."

"Okay."

Then Sun Zhe led Jiang Qinglan to a small compartment, where Chen Ruolong was cleaning. He said, "Xiao Long, you can get off work early today and come back tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruolong nodded continuously like a bobbing head doll, not daring to glance at Jiang Qinglan beside Sun Zhe.

He truly didn’t want to stay here and face Jiang Qinglan at all.

The invisible pressure nearly stifled him.

However, he was quite loyal, not just running away but pulling Sun Zhe outside and quietly asking if Sun Zhe could handle it alone.

Sun Zhe nodded to him, giving him a reassuring look.

"Don’t worry, I’m confident."

Chen Ruolong patted his chest, "Alright then, boss, I’ll head off. Just be careful; this woman is definitely not ordinary. Her mere presence is suffocating."

Sun Zhe thought to himself, isn’t that obvious? She’s the Hua Country Emperor’s empress, the mother of the world, so how could she be ordinary?

...

After Chen Ruolong left, Sun Zhe pulled down the shutter and returned to the small compartment.

Jiang Qinglan sat on the small bed, her seemingly delicate hand wielding the Mountain-Suppressing Sword with boundless strength. She fondly reminisced, "Looking at this sword, it’s filled with memories."

"When your father practiced swordsmanship back then, he also used this sword."

Sun Zhe took out a medical kit from the White Jade Ring and said with a smile, "I’m still far off; I have to take it slow."

Jiang Qinglan casually tossed the sword towards him.

Startled, Sun Zhe quickly reached out to catch it, almost losing his balance.

Jiang Qinglan stifled a laugh at his clumsy appearance, "Compared to your father, you’re indeed quite far behind."

Sun Zhe carefully placed the sword on the ground, fearing it might damage the landlord’s tile floor, and asked, "By the way, Second Aunt, what realm are you in?"

Jiang Qinglan thought briefly and said, "Slightly weaker than your mother and stronger than your younger aunt."

Sun Zhe joked, "No wonder you’re ranked second among the three sisters."

Jiang Qinglan giggled, shifting the topic, "Why did you close the door so early?"

Sun Zhe laughed, "I earn a lot from just one case, so when busy, I only take one case a day. Fortunately, you’re the first today."

"I see, good thing I came early."

"Second Aunt, lie down first. The bed is clean and hasn’t been used."

Jiang Qinglan removed her woolen coat and placed it aside, revealing a wide-neck knit sweater underneath, exposing her fair shoulders and sexy collarbones. She then slipped off her high heels, revealing her crystal-clear jade feet, partly hidden in stockings.

Sun Zhe pretended to sort the medical kit earnestly but occasionally stole glances at her, her stunning figure causing his Yang Qi inside to become uncontrollable and restless, eliciting inner groans.

"Xiao Zhe, you can start."

Jiang Qinglan elegantly raised her legs and lay on the small bed, her hands folded on her belly, undisturbed by the cheap polyethylene fiber smell.

Sun Zhe turned around, secretly glanced at the high, impressive curves in her knit sweater, swallowed quietly, and internally compared the scale to Xia Shiqing, unable to help but acknowledge the superior size.

Even lying down, it maintained its round firmness, appearing so natural.

Standing by the bed, he calmed his mind, reining in his wandering thoughts, and quietly activated the Yin Yang X-ray Vision.

Jiang Qinglan glanced at him, suddenly blushing, and asked, "Is this the Sun Family’s X-ray Vision?"

"Yes."

"Does that mean in front of you I’m as if not wearing anything?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe involuntarily smiled bitterly, thinking it wasn’t so embarrassing until she spoke and made it awkward.

"Second Aunt, I’m a doctor now."

"True."

Sun Zhe refrained from speaking further, maintaining his composure, carefully scrutinizing Jiang Qinglan’s internal meridians.

Time silently passed by.

Sun Zhe gradually furrowed his brows, his expression growing solemn as he found Jiang Qinglan’s injuries to be significant.

In the silence.

Jiang Qinglan suddenly asked, "Why did you do those things with Shiqing?"

"..."
