BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 - 52. Thanks
"Xue Ning, call me Xue Ning, Sir, thank you again," said the girl, who bowed her body a little lower.
The old man just nodded his head and turned to jump to the boulder where he had previously been.
"What are you doing hanging around so late at night?" he asked again after successfully seating himself up.
"I was looking for my Older brother, sir. But got lost," replied the girl and then came closer and sat on the small rock that was next to the old man.
"Where do you come from?"
"Parqus village, sir," she replied again
The man was silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something, the name of the village sounded very familiar to his ears.
"Where is it?"
Xue Ning was silent, didn\'t know what to answer, would it be okay if she told everything to someone she just met? Even though that man had saved her from the magical beast\'s clutches, it wasn\'t enough to dispel the doubts in her heart.
"Well, if you don\'t want to tell me, you can come with me to treat your wounds, this place is dangerous for people of one level like you," the man offered, Whatever will be, he could not bear to leave a girl with wounds like that alone. It seemed that he had to temporarily suspend search Fu Xie Lan.
"Even then, if you want," he added again
"Thank you," Xue Ning replied, she didn\'t know the direction of the way back to where she lived, losing track of her Older brother made her almost become the magic beast swarm\'s dinner. Accepting the old man\'s offer was the only option that was best for her.
"You come closer."
"Hold this," while stretching out the hem of his robe and handing it to the girl, Xue Ning simply complied, the pain of the bite mark on her leg made her steps falter a little.
The old man then tore the paper that was pulled out of his shirt pocket and disappeared.

The two of them appeared in front of a one-story building residing in the phoenix academy.
"It\'s here, don\'t worry. This is the phoenix academy to be precise in front of the house where I live."
Every teacher or elder who teaches in this place is given the living facilities that have been provided by the academy, including himself who is the dean of the phoenix academy medical faculty.
Xue Ning did not answer and only nodded.
"I am Huang Bao, people call me Elder Bao," said the old man introducing himself, as if he understood what the girl who called herself Xue Ning was thinking.
The two of them then headed into the house, Huang Bao with anxious feeling because he thought of Fu Xie Lan, while Xue Ning was worried. She certainly didn\'t forget everything her brother told her after running away from this place.

Huang Bao slowly opened the door, found a student sleeping on his living room chair making his brows furrow faintly. It seems that the student is not alone. A young man he recognized then walked out of his room and closed the door slowly, seeing that figure suddenly made him immediately run and approached him.
"Young master, young master, Fu Xie Lan ..."
"Shhh." The young man\'s forefinger pressed against his lips.
"It\'s okay, now she\'s inside, sleeping," he whispered and then passed Elder Bao. Hearing that someone she was worried about was okay made him let out a sigh of relief.
Wan Lie\'s steps faltered when his gaze met Xue Ning, the girl who helped them a while ago.
"You?" said Xue Ning pointing at Wan Lie.
Meanwhile, Wan Lie did not respond and only watched the girl from toe to head.
"What happened? Why are you looking so messy?"
"Do you know each other?" The two of them nodded almost simultaneously, and then Wan Lie told Elder Bao a few things from a witch who used form-changing magic and Fu Xie Lan who treated the poisoned villagers. While Xue Ning only occasionally chimed.
"Xie Lan did that?" Asked Elder Bao confirming his hearing, if it was true then he would have become very stupid for not guiding the girl from the start. Now that some of his questions were answered, it turned out that Xie Lan wanting some herbs a while ago was not a coincidence. But the girl did have some medical knowledge.
"Then what happens?" he asked again.
"Nothing, because we will immediately return to the academy because Xie Lan is very worried about you," said Wan Lie.
He was very lazy to tell at length, but if he didn\'t tell everything maybe the old man would come back to pester Fu Xie Lan with all his questions when his mother was awake.
Hearing the Wan Lie words made Elder Bao\'s chest rumble, for the first time someone was worrying about him, and it made him feel a little moved.
"Hmmm, well wait a minute." Huang Bao got up from his place and walked over to the several shelves that contained the herbs and several pills he had produced and then took out some of them.
"Put this on the bite wound," said Elder Bao handing the potion he had transferred to the bowl to Xue Ning.
"After that, drink this that pill only relieves pain, not for healing," He added, according to Wan Lie\'s story, Xue Ning must know how to treat her wounds.
"Thank you again, Sir."
Huang Bao only nodded.
"I\'m sorry, young master, because of my negligence," said Elder Bao, bowing down.
"I\'ve said it many times, don\'t call me that. Just call Wan Lie, I like it more. And just be normal," Wan Lie protested.
"Stop slouching like that," he added, taking a glance at Xue Ning who had started cleaning her wound. Elder Bao\'s treatment was so conspicuous and he didn\'t like it.
"I-I\'m sorry, this old man often forgets," replied Elder Bao.
"Um, don\'t repeat it next time."
"Alright."
While on the other hand, Xue Ning who was treating her wounds heard everything very clearly. Several questions popped up in her mind.
\'Who is that young man?\'
\'Why should the elder who should be respected call that young man as a young master? by bowing too?\'
\'Looks like he\'s not a student in this academy and it\'s clear that this young man is no ordinary person.\'
Various questions popped up in her head, but all she could think about was to keep to herself because according to her she had no right to know the lives of other people.
The pain that she had previously felt gradually disappeared, even though she had just finished dousing the wound with the elixir that Elder Bao had given her, It turns out the rumors are true. The potions and pills that came from the Phoenix Academy were extremely potent.
"Ah yes I almost forgot," Elder Bao\'s voice made her hands stop when she wanted to put a pill into her mouth.
"Those pills, drink at the same time as this potion, wait a moment," he said then returned to take a greenish potion to give to Xue Ning.
"Thank you," replied the girl and then did everything the Elder instructed.
