Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1748 - 1745: I Didn’t Let Him Down

Ye Qiu met Hu Jie’s gaze, her eyes showing no hesitation or retreat.

Resolute like the North Star shining brightly on a cold night, never losing direction, radiating an inspiring determination.

She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, as if trying to calm the tumultuous emotions surging deep within her heart.

Then, her hand slowly reached into her bosom and took out the storage bag containing two types of medicinal herbs that Hu Jie had given her earlier.

She handed the storage bag to Hu Jie, forcing a smile and said, "Old classmate, I have one last favor to ask of you."

"I hope you can descend the mountain once and deliver these herbs to the Mystic Spirit Pavilion, hand them personally to Mister Xu Wendong."

"Please tell him that I did not let him down and completed the task he entrusted me!" As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

She had once thought that completing the task entrusted by Xu Wendong would be a highly fulfilling achievement.

But now.

Although she had completed Xu Wendong’s task, she felt no joy in her heart.

Hu Jie took the storage bag, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, as if resisting the inevitable events.

He understood better than anyone that Ye Qiu’s journey would be filled with unknown dangers and uncertainties.

His lips parted slightly, wanting to say something to dissuade her.

But as his gaze met Ye Qiu’s resolute eyes, the words were forcibly swallowed back by an invisible hand, turning into a silent sigh.

Ye Qiu slowly turned around, looking at the Blue Hawk perched atop the boulder.

Moonlight draped over its body like water, outlining its stern yet powerful silhouette.

The Blue Hawk’s eyes shimmered with a cold light under the moon, like two burning cold stars, as if urging her to embark on her unknown destiny.

Ye Qiu’s hands trembled slightly, her palms covered in a fine layer of sweat, an intense wave of nervousness and fear rising in her heart, spreading like a tide, almost consuming her.

Yet she bit her lip, her teeth vibrating lightly, mustering all her courage with every ounce of strength, stepping towards the Blue Hawk.

Her steps were heavy and slow, each step felt like treading through mud, as if in a final struggle with her fate.

With each step, she could feel the intense heartbeat resounding, like the heavy beat of the drums of destiny.

Finally, she reached the Blue Hawk’s side, taking another deep breath, the tension in the air making her breathing rapid.

She grasped the Blue Hawk’s feathers tightly, the feathers hard and cold, a chill emanating from her touch.

Nervously, she climbed onto the Blue Hawk’s back, her legs trembling slightly, her body unconsciously swaying.

As if sensing her unease, the Blue Hawk gently shook its wings, letting out a low call, as if soothing and encouraging her.

Ye Qiu sat firmly, adjusting her posture, then slowly turned back for a deep look at Hu Jie.

That gaze carried so many complex emotions.

Like saying farewell to a friend reunited briefly yet about to part, the reluctance and longing in her eyes entwined like threads.

Also like bidding farewell to her past self, those once beautiful and innocent moments drifting away like illusions.

"Hu Jie, take care." She forced a smile, her voice carrying an unmistakable choke, laden with worry for the future, reluctance for a friend, and resignation to fate.

Hu Jie gazed at Ye Qiu, his heart a mix of emotions, a tangled mess like a knocked-over spice jar.

Hu Jie nodded solemnly, "You take care too!"

At that moment, the Blue Hawk let out a piercing call, the sharp sound breaking the silent night sky.

With the cry, the Blue Hawk spread its massive wings, each wing spanning more than two people wide, casting a huge shadow under the moonlight.

It flapped vigorously, creating a strong gust of wind, the surrounding branches rustling, leaves fluttering down.

Ye Qiu held onto the Blue Hawk’s feathers tightly, closing her eyes, feeling the fierce wind rushing by, her hair flying wildly in the wind.

Under the force of the wind, she and the Blue Hawk slowly ascended, their figures shrinking, gradually disappearing beneath the night sky.

Hu Jie stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on the gradually disappearing figures of the Blue Hawk and Ye Qiu in the night sky, as if rooted, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

The mountain breeze gently brushed past, stirring his robes, unable to awaken him from his thoughts immersed in worry and reluctance.

The surrounding mountainous forest was silent and still, with only the occasional sound of insects, accentuating the current loneliness and heaviness.

After a long time, Hu Jie took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently as if trying to exhale all the worries and unease out with that breath.

He slowly turned, facing the direction of Qingyuan City, a fleeting flash of complex light in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Hu Jie stopped hesitating, quickly raising both hands, his fingers moving deftly in a spell, chanting under his breath.

As he moved, a strange ripple appeared in the air, and a flying sword emitting a faint cold light suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

The flying sword’s blade was long and slender, the cold light flickering, as if narrating its extraordinariness.

Hu Jie took a deep breath, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He stepped on the flying sword, lightly tapping his toes, then the flying sword shot into the air like an arrow, speeding towards Qingyuan City.

Moonlight cascaded over him, outlining his determined silhouette, leaving a fleeting shadow in the night sky.

The sound of the wind roared past his ears, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on the front, with only one belief in his heart: to swiftly deliver the herbs to Xu Wendong, fulfilling his promise to Ye Qiu!

Half an hour later.

Hu Jie arrived at Antique Street in Qingyuan City, finding the Mystic Spirit Pavilion.

He pushed the door open and looked at Xu Wendong and Zhang Nian inside, his face showing no emotion, "Are you Xu Wendong?"

"Who are you?" Xu Wendong surveyed him with suspicion, clearly not expecting him to know his name.

Hu Jie opened his right hand, and a storage bag flew towards Xu Wendong, his face blank as he said, "Ye Qiu entrusted me to give you the medicinal herbs in this storage bag, and she said she has completed the task you assigned!"

Xu Wendong opened the storage bag and glanced inside, delighting upon seeing the herbs needed for refining the Body Tempering Pill, not expecting Ye Qiu to collect them in such a short time.

Coming to his senses, he looked at Hu Jie, curiously inquiring, "Where did Ye Qiu go? Why did she entrust you to deliver the herbs?"

Hu Jie gazed at Xu Wendong with displeasure, "Don’t you want to know how Ye Qiu obtained these herbs?"
