Regarding this youth's identity, it was still a mystery, no one knew, because this youth had never spoken about his identity, not because he deliberately wouldn't say, but because it seemed no one had asked, or rather had no opportunity to ask.
The youth only appeared to set up his stall at night, and when setting up the stall others were anxious to see doctors, naturally no one would ask him anything, and when making house calls, servants received him, upon arrival he would diagnose illness, also not much opportunity.
Of course, there were definitely people with intentions wanting to figure out the youth's background, but they learned little, because the youth was always alone, without any clues.
Even when people asked the youth directly, the youth answered, but no one believed his answer, so everyone thought the youth didn't want to say, and stopped asking.
This day, Xiao Ai and Lady Ke appeared at the city gates, during this period of recuperation Lady Ke could already walk around, and according to the youth's advice, she should move around more, should go get some sun, this was very beneficial for her.
Today Lady Ke appeared at the city gates not only because she needed to move around outdoors, Ke Mansion was large enough for her to do any outdoor activities, taking it further, even if Ke Mansion wasn't enough, she wouldn't need to come to the city gates, unless she wanted to leave the city.
However, looking at their situation, they didn't seem to be leaving the city, seemed to be waiting for someone.
Right, they were waiting for someone, today was when Dragon Gate Tournament participants returned, and among those participating in this Dragon Gate Tournament was someone they were waiting for, Xiao Ai's brother Ke Shan, not only her brother but her twin brother.
Lady Ke began "taking supplements" after giving birth to these twins, began becoming like before, because of this Xiao Ai and Ke Shan, this pair of boy-girl twins, after becoming sensible felt they were related to this matter, so both were very filial, always trying to do their best, not making their parents worry.
Unlike Xiao Ai, Ke Shan went to participate in the Dragon Gate Tournament that Xiao Ai and others didn't consider important.
Among Xiao Ai and her group of young master and miss friends, most people felt the Dragon Gate Tournament was thankless work, something lower-class people did to seek opportunities for advancement, while they were already upper-class, didn't need to do such things.
Holding such thoughts weren't only Xiao Ai and these people, but also represented the thoughts of those at the continent's top layer, they were already standing at the continent's peak, opportunities like the Dragon Gate Tournament could be completely ignored by them.
Even if it was the liveliest event on the entire continent, it wasn't necessarily something everyone had to participate in, especially upper-class figures like them.
Of course, some pointed out the key issue, generally such upper-class people couldn't afford to lose, they had no confidence in winning, naturally wouldn't participate in events meaningless to them, put simply, they were afraid of losing, afraid of embarrassment.
Some people already had opportunities, were already in super sects and academies, whether they participated or not made no difference, so they simply didn't waste this time.
Regardless of which of these two it was, for Dragon Gate Tournament participants it was good news, because this meant less competition.
Ke Shan originally also had very good academy opportunities, but he still wanted to continue proving himself, wanted to achieve good rankings to bring honor to his ancestors, so he participated in this Dragon Gate Tournament.
Regarding Ke Shan, both Xiao Ai and Lady Ke were very nervous, both wanting to see him first, especially current Lady Ke, she more wanted to let her son see she had recovered, she wanted to let her son see this good news immediately, because she knew her son had been worried about her for a long time.
"Mom, do you want to rest on the side for a bit, there's not even a shadow yet, definitely still need some time," Xiao Ai saw her mother seemed somewhat tired and immediately said, nearby there was a prepared sedan chair for Lady Ke to rest at any time.
"No need, I'll wait a bit more," Lady Ke shook her head.
"Madam, don't force yourself, although you should move around more now, you also need to pay attention to rest," just as Xiao Ai was preparing to speak, a calm voice came over, surprising both of them.
"Sir?" Xiao Ai looked at the newcomer, wasn't this newcomer the youth who treated her mother.
Since that day, although Xiao Ai had seen the youth several times, it was all at night, seeing him in broad daylight now felt somewhat strange, but thinking carefully, her own thoughts were even stranger.
"Hello sir," Lady Ke also greeted, toward this youth in front she only had gratitude, naturally wouldn't be negligent.
"Madam, you should still sit and rest on the side, no need to sit in the sedan chair, just sit in a windless place basking in the sun," the youth bowed and offered medical advice.
"Good, since sir says so, then I'll comply," Lady Ke smiled, then indicated for servants to bring out a chair, as someone of her level, when going out she had quite a few attendants, and given her current condition requiring rest at any time, chairs were naturally essential.
"Sir, why are you here, are you leaving the city?" Xiao Ai asked.
"No, I'm the same as you, I'm waiting for someone," the youth said with a smile.
"Oh, must be someone very important to sir," Xiao Ai casually asked, when she interacted with the youth she discovered that although the youth was very polite to people, it was only out of courtesy, if someone was disrespectful to him, even people of high status, he wouldn't be interested in communicating further.
In everyone's eyes, this seemed like a kind of arrogance, feeling this youth wouldn't be too enthusiastic toward people unless they were people he considered important, the current situation seemed to be such a case.
The youth didn't know everyone's opinion, hearing Xiao Ai ask this way, he nodded and said, "Yes, very important people."
"Male or female?" Xiao Ai suddenly asked, and after asking this she was somewhat stunned herself, she didn't know why she asked this, as if possessed.
"Female," the youth replied directly without thinking.
"Oh, must be a beautiful girl," Xiao Ai smiled, she seemed to understand who the youth was waiting for, speaking in a roundabout way.
"Yes, but not one..." the youth said.
"Ah, so sir has so many... so many female confidantes," Xiao Ai was somewhat surprised, but didn't find it strange, on this continent there were plenty of people with multiple wives and concubines.
"Female confidantes? No, none of them are, I don't have such female confidantes, those few are troubles I can't shake off and troubles that came along, in any case all troubles," the youth shook his head.
"..." After hearing the youth's words, what Xiao Ai could think of was that the youth definitely had ambiguous relationships with those he was waiting for, for a man to be troubled by women could only mean these women were ones he couldn't refuse, either relatives, close friends, or lovers, with the latter having the highest probability.
"Hehe, you must have very good relationships," Lady Ke smiled and asked from the side.
"Not good, no, should say no feelings, they're really just troubles that came along," the youth became very serious and earnest at this time, he seemed to want listeners to believe his words.
"Although they're troubles, you still take responsibility for them, this explains everything. I used to be a trouble, a huge trouble, but he never gave up on me," Lady Ke looked ahead, saying indifferently.
In this indifferent tone, everyone felt the extraordinariness within, in these simple words was a kind of indescribable complex emotion, a deeply memorable profound feeling.
With Lady Ke's words, people seemed to suddenly understand that the youth's mention of "troubles" wasn't disdain, but a kind of responsibility.
"..." The youth stopped speaking, he felt talking was meaningless, whether misunderstanding or truth, he didn't need to explain.
But the youth underestimated women's curiosity, not only Xiao Ai's curiosity wanting to know, even Lady Ke was the same, they would continue asking the youth about his "troubles."
"Sir is waiting for someone here now, could it be sir's troublesome beauties are also in today's returning group, are people who participated in this Dragon Gate Tournament?" Xiao Ai asked, she seemed to remember something, which was about when the youth appeared in the capital.
"Yes, they all came to participate in the Dragon Gate Tournament," the youth nodded.
"So sir appeared here to accompany them, fortunately this Dragon Gate Tournament was held in our New Moon, otherwise where would we find sir," Xiao Ai felt fortunate, she suddenly thought, if this time wasn't because of holding the Dragon Gate Tournament, would the youth have appeared.
This was something she dared not imagine, in that case she would definitely still have to continue accepting the fact of her mother bedridden, that was a fact she absolutely didn't want to see, also didn't want to imagine.
"Those with fate naturally will meet," the youth smiled.
"Sir is right, those with fate naturally meet, fortunately we are fated... ah, I mean we were fated to meet... ah..." Xiao Ai's speech became confused, she suddenly discovered that talking about being fated with a man was a very stupid thing, also a very ambiguous thing.
This made Xiao Ai very embarrassed, her pretty face like burning clouds, she really wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
"Hehe, really a silly girl," Lady Ke smiled secretly, of course she wouldn't think Xiao Ai could develop something with the youth, although she wouldn't oppose it, this matter was too mysterious, almost no chance to speak of.
Lady Ke wouldn't be like some people who immediately wanted to matchmake upon seeing their children know good members of the opposite sex, firstly she knew such things depended on fate, secondly Xiao Ai was still young, it was early yet.
