"I'm not tired. How about I help you and get familiar with the environnt?" Ye Liuyun offered.
"Sure!" Axing was happy to see Ye Liuyun taking the initiative.
She had never had a servant before, so she wasn't used to giving orders to people.
Ye Tiandao didn't say anything and just silently followed them outside.
Axing was the only doctor in the entire tribe so she was busy every day.
Besides collecting herbs and buying dicinal materials, she also had to refine them and treat people.
In this world, doctors were equivalent to alchemists in Ye Liuyun's world.
However, this tribe was too primitive. They didn't know alchemy. They only knew how to use simple herbs for healing. They would only boil them into basic redies.
Many dicinal effects couldn't be fully utilized.
Ye Liuyun had so knowledge of alchemy, and he was familiar with various herbs.
However, he pretended to ask around before starting to help.
His task was simple. He just needed to sort the herbs and hand them over to Ye Tiandao.
Ye Tiandao was responsible for brewing the dicine according to the requirents, which was a task she could handle without mistakes.
A few days later, the two of them beca Axing's assistants.
With their help, Axing's workload beca much lighter.
Especially Ye Liuyun, who handled the herb sorting, a task that seed complex to Axing, but he never made a mistake.
In the beginning, Axing would double-check everything, but later on, it beca unnecessary.
"Are you perhaps the descendant of a doctor?" Axing casually asked Ye Liuyun.
"Who knows? I can't rember anything!" Ye Liuyun scratched his head, feigning the expression of soone in distress from mory loss.
Later on, Ye Liuyun helped Axing with so simple treatnts, mostly dealing with fractures and other external injuries.
With Ye Liuyun's help, treating male patients beca much more convenient for Axing.
Over ti, everyone in the tribe knew that a new doctor had joined. Even Ahu, though still treating Ye Liuyun with caution, dared not mock him anymore.
After all, being martial practitioners, they engaged in hunting and combat. N one could guarantee they wouldn't get injured.
Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao worked during the day and practiced cultivation inside the Xuankong Stone at night, while the clone kept watch.
Even the tribe leader noticed the addition of a male doctor and took the ti to check them out.
In such tribes, doctors were crucial.
In this region, there were many small tribes engaged in frequent battles for resources and territory.
The size of a tribe was asured by its population.
dium tribes had over three thousand people, and large tribes had over five thousand.
The advantage of large tribes was their ability to levy food from smaller ones.
These small tribes had to regularly contribute food or send people as paynt. With fewer people, their combat strength naturally weakened, leading to a bad cycle.
Thus, the n in the tribe were almost always in a state of combat, either hunting or fighting with other tribes. Their living conditions were harsh, and many people needed dical attention every day.
There were many people who needed to be treated every day.
Before Ye Liuyun arrived, Axing often worked until late at night. Since his arrival, they managed to treat all the wounded before dinner, thanks to Ye Liuyun's assistance.
Even injuries that Axing couldn't handle, Ye Liuyun found ways to solve.
Due to Ye Liuyun's significant contributions, Axing never treated him as a servant.
"Think about it carefully. You must have been a doctor before."
Axing would bring up this topic every ti she chatted with Ye Liuyun.
She believed Ye Liuyun's dical skills were superior to hers, and perhaps he asked for her advice at first due to amnesia.
Now, it was more like she was learning from him. He didn't need to ask Axing anything anymore.
"Then you've lucked out, getting a doctor as your servant!" Ye Liuyun would always playfully brush off such topics.
However, as Ye Liuyun's reputation grew, Ahu beca uneasy.
He would frequently visit Axing, bringing her hunted animals, afraid that Ye Liuyun might win her favor.
Axing had kept her distance from Ahu all along, treating him like an ordinary tribe mber. Although she didn't dislike him, she definitely treated him as an average person. Ye Liuyun could sense this.
One day, Ahu ca again with a gift.
Axing refused to accept it, and as usual, Ahu left the offering behind and departed.
This ti, Axing had enough and told him, "Stop bringing gifts, and don't spread rumors about any relationship between us!"
Ahu felt embarrassed. "Axing, I sincerely care about you!"
"You're overthinking it! I don't like you," Axing rejected him outright.
The people in their tribe were direct in their speech.
"You weren't like this before!" Ahu complained.
"I never accepted you! So stop bringing gifts!" Axing reiterated.
Her words might have been harsh, but Ye Liuyun thought it was better this way, preventing Ahu from having false hopes.
At that mont, Ahu noticed Ye Liuyun.
"Is it because you have that pretty boy now that you're changing your mind?" Ahu asked with jealousy.
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't co to see in the future!" Axing was angry and directly chased Ahu away.
Ahu, however, didn't leave. He pointed at Ye Liuyun and said, "If you dare, fight ! If you win, Axing is yours!"
According to their tribe's rules, this was a challenge.
If Ye Liuyun refused, he would be considered weak. Generally, even if a man knew he couldn't win, he would still fight when challenged.
If he accepted, people would assu he was competing with Ahu for Axing's affection, as won in the tribe usually didn't have much say in such matters.
Axing's special status gave her more freedom on this matter.
Ye Liuyun couldn't help but feel awkward about the situation. Why was this foolish Ahu challenging when he had nothing to do with ?
If he didn't accept the challenge, he would have a difficult ti in the tribe. If he accepted the challenge, he feared that people might misunderstand.
At this point, Axing fell silent, turning to Ye Liuyun with anticipation.
Ye Liuyun wanted to explain, primarily fearing that Axing might misunderstand him.
However, before he could say anything, Ahu started shouting again, "I knew this pretty boy was a coward. Just because you can heal people, doesn't an others will respect you!"
"Fine, I accept your challenge!" Ye Liuyun said helplessly.
He figured that if he didn't accept, Ahu, being the type of person he was, would likely keep taunting him, causing endless trouble.
