Alex couldn't possibly have imagined that Jai Heiyun of all would be in the Medicine World. Not just that too, but that she had joined the same competition as him.

He hadn't seen her in the tournament, but that was understandable given the sheer number of people that were there. It was easy to miss people. That made him wonder if there were others that he had met.

The woman began tearing up at the sight of him, making him feel a little awkward.

"Did you think I was dead?" Alex asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jai Heiyun said, wiping her tears. "They said you died when you tried to break through to the Immortal realms."

"Oh!" Alex had done that so people in his lower realm would believe he was dead, and it seemed it had worked fantastically. Still, he had assumed that Jai Heiyun of all wouldn't have been told the truth.
