Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan found Jiang Yu at the back slope of the nearest hill. He was not in too bad of a condition, but he had only broken his legs. His chest had been pierced by talons, and he had also hit his head on a rock and was bleeding.
“I can tell you indulged in your desires at the capital for too long. You don’t even have the basic awareness to protect yourself. Don’t you know you should land on your body instead?” Zhao Manyan murmured while carrying the b.l.o.o.d.y Jiang Yu away.
“Stop it, he clearly landed on his legs. Otherwise, how did he break them? He rolled over on his back and hit his head,” Mo Fan explained for Jiang Yu, who was unable to talk.
“Oh, I misunderstood. Luckily, Mo Fan and I came over in time, or you’d be dead. By the way, we also took out the woman who set you up, so you shouldn’t have any regrets,” Zhao Manyan said quietly.
“I…I think I…I’m still alive…” Jiang Yu replied weakly.
The Mailong Private Military Group did not have a Healer. The only doctor in the group was now most likely being digested inside a Frosty Ancient Eagle’s stomach.
Luckily, the Mailong Private Military Group had chosen to stick with the alliance. Otherwise, Jiang Yu would not have survived for more than a day. Normal people were not able to survive in the icy wind and snow, let alone an injured person!

“We have so many wounded, we have to stick with the queue. It’s fine if you want us to treat your teammate. Get the beauty of the national team, Mu Ningxue to perform an erotic dance in front of us and help us loosen our nerves, and we will treat your friend first,” Bertan told them.
“You might not know this, but Mu Ningxue is the hot-tempered Mo Fan’s girlfriend, so you better hope he doesn’t hear this,” Ai Jiangtu informed Bertan.
“I know, I know. Mo Fan, the strongest partic.i.p.ant in the World College Tournament, the so-called strongest young Mage in the world… I’ve long wanted to see what he got,” Bertan replied airily.
Ai Jiangtu frowned when it was clear Bertan was not willing to treat Jiang Yu.
—
Ai Jiangtu told everyone Bertan’s att.i.tude after he returned to the team, automatically filtering out the inappropriate part related to Mu Ningxue. If he didn’t, Mo Fan might just have gone ahead and killed him. Ai Jiangtu was well aware of Mo Fan’s temper!
“Old Ai, I think you’re being too polite when talking to foreigners. I’ll pay them a visit. I guarantee you they will come and treat Jiang Yu right away.” Mo Fan rose to his feet. He was about to take matters into his own hands.
Ai Jiangtu quickly stopped Mo Fan. “No, don’t… let me figure out a way.”
“There’s no other way. There’s only one Healer among us, and he’s with the explorers hired by the Sacred Hall of Liberty. I must say, Nanrong Ni might be a disgusting person, but she was very useful in certain situations. We should find ourselves a Healer next time. It’s so annoying. Look at Bertan’s att.i.tude; the man is acting like the whole world is at his mercy,” Zhao Manyan scoffed.
The national team had once had a Healer, Nanrong Ni, who was now Mu Ningxue’s enemy.
When Mu Bai was around, his skills and knowledge at treating injuries were also useful to a certain degree, but Zhao Manyan was definitely afraid of his methods.
Mo Fan went up to Apas and asked her quietly, “Apas, can you heal the wounded?”
“Do the Medusae sound like a species that is good at healing?” Apas replied sharply.
“I believe you can expand your business. Don’t just focus on things that harm others. That way, the Medusae will eventually become humanity’s good friends!” Mo Fan replied.
“Hah!” Apas rolled her eyes and ignored Mo Fan.

Nanyu and Ai Jiangtu went to discuss things with Ya.s.sen, but they heard a few cries before they even got down to business.
“This Mo Fan is just as unreasonable as rumors have mentioned,” Ya.s.sen smiled helplessly.
Nanyu and Ai Jiangtu were startled when they saw Mo Fan holding Bertan by the collar, dragging him toward Jiang Yu.
Mo Fan cursed along the way, “It f**king took you half an hour just to get a drink. You just had to force me to do it my way. Isn’t it better when you are sensible enough to treat my friend’s wounds!?”
“I can walk myself!” Bertan complained helplessly
Bertan still had no idea what the cold thing that was held to his groin was, yet he could feel his b.a.l.l.s twitching as he recalled the sensation.
“Heal my friend and do some pole dancing at the bonfire over there, or you’re going to pay for it!” Mo Fan kicked Bertan from behind.
“I…I don’t know how to pole-dance…” Bertan whined.
“Just do whatever dance you know, and you better show some respect to my girlfriend, or I won’t go easy on you again!” Mo Fan swore.
“Of course…”
Mo Fan glanced at Ai Jiangtu and Nanyu, who had returned to the team. He shrugged when he saw the weird looks on their faces. “It’s cold and the situation isn’t favorable to us. We don’t have time to reason with them!”
“Mo Fan, I must say, you’re more like a powerful second generation compared to the rest of us,” Nanyu had to comment.
“Yeah, you shouldn’t be so harsh with the others. We are all n.o.ble Mages. Shouldn’t we settle our disputes peacefully? I was just kidding with you. There’s no reason not to heal your friend since we all agreed to form an alliance. Young man, don’t be so hot-tempered. There are many strong Mages in this world. You can’t possibly get your way every time with violence when you eventually meet someone that is stronger than you, right?” Bertan added quickly.
Mo Fan snorted disdainfully at the man.
If he met someone he could not defeat, then he would just reason with them! They had nothing but time since they were currently trapped in the harsh environment on Tianshan Mountain.
—
The alliance seriously lacked Healers. Many people were suffering from serious injuries. The alliance decided to rest up before heading to the Scar of Tianshan Mountain.
The Scar of Tianshan Mountain was right before their eyes. They had already reached their destination.
However, every step forward would require a lot of planning. The groups were relieved when they had a chance to sit down and share their experiences. It turned out that every group had different encounters along. Many of them were extremely lucky, as they did not stumble into any deadly species along the way.
“Bertan, what is your team here for? Don’t tell me you’re seriously on an expedition?” Mo Fan was a lot more easygoing when he saw Bertan diligently healing the wounded from the other groups.
He didn’t hold a grudge when someone like Bertan started behaving himself after learning the hard way.
