Chapter 468 Did my second senior brother misunderstand?
"No, I want to eat it. I want to eat it. Junior Master, can you just let me have a bite?"
"What do you want to eat? Tell me."
Xuanming appeared in the room carrying a medicine box. His cold face made Huo Yuanruo shiver and he dared not speak.
Xuanming casually glanced at the group of people outside the house who were watching him cautiously, "Did you enjoy your meal?"
Ban Bench hid the skewer of meat in his hand behind his back and said, "No...no."
"Really?" Xuanming looked at Situ Tianming who was lowering his head and trying to hide himself, "Old Five, are you enjoying your meal?"
"Ah? What? I didn't eat? These kids are barbecuing in the yard, and I'm just watching the fun, so I came out to bask in the sun and feel the lively atmosphere of the kids. This... um, will make me happy, and my injuries will heal faster, don't you think?"
Xuanming raised his eyebrows, "Next time you lie, remember to wipe the marks from the corners of your mouth. You ate so much chili, it seems you don't want to be better."
Situ Tianming licked the corner of his lip with his tongue, and then laughed awkwardly, "Ha, haha, I only took a bite, just one bite. Or...or...the chopsticks, insisted that I help him taste the saltiness." Situ Tianming frowned and looked at the chopsticks, "I told you I couldn't eat it, but you insisted on forcing it into my mouth. Really, look, my second brother misunderstood. Kid, don't do it again, understand?"
Chopsticks:...Who was the one who kept urging him and complaining that he was roasting too slowly?
Situ Tianming: You little brat, you should know clearly what you should and shouldn’t say, otherwise...
Poor Chopsticks received the threat from Situ Tianming and cried without tears, "It's my fault. I insisted that Fifth Master help me taste the saltiness. Second Master, you can blame me if you want."
Situ Tianming had an expression that said, "Look, that's it." "But, this kid didn't do it on purpose, so don't make it difficult for him. Ouch, my back hurts, I need to take a rest, don't bother me, okay?"
Xuan Ming snorted coldly, not bothering to pay attention to him. He sat down beside Huo Yuanruo's bed, automatically ignoring his red eyes and nose from crying, and took his pulse.
I was speechless and helpless. Was he really a disciple of Lingxiao Palace? He cried because of his stuttering? If I tell this to others, hehe, everyone in the world will laugh.
But thinking about his unreliable fifth junior brother, Xuanming no longer found it strange.
Well, it’s a good thing that I didn’t accept any apprentices.
If I received one like this, wouldn't I be so angry that I would die?
"I'll give you the first dose of medicine this afternoon. You'll also need to take a medicinal bath and do acupuncture. The process may be a little painful, so... well, just bear with it."
Huo Yuanruo:...a little aggrieved, a little pitiful...
"Oh, I see, Second Uncle."
"After studying with the Valley Master, we estimate that this process will take seven days. I have stressed to you what you should pay attention to before, so remember it. Don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't do what you shouldn't do. Do you remember?"
Huo Yuanruo pursed his lips, looking extremely pitiful. "I remember."
"That's good."
At this time, Wu Feng also came in. When he saw Li Mulan, he rolled his eyes and said, "Humph, it seems that the injury is not serious."
Li Mulan chuckled, "Don't I have your medicine? Just apply it and it will be fine."
Wu Feng snorted coldly, "Forget it, my medicine is not a magic medicine, it doesn't have that effect."
Li Mulan touched her nose guiltily and said nothing.
Wufeng Xukong nodded at her, his tone full of heartache and helplessness, "She's such a smart person, why is she so irritating when she gets stubborn?"
"Oh, I won't do that next time. You're here for Yuan Yuan to see, so stop talking about me."
Wu Feng's face turned serious, "What? I can't say anything to you?"
"You can talk, you can talk. If you are not satisfied, you can hit me twice?"
Seeing her shameless appearance, Wufeng could only shake his head helplessly. He looked meaningfully at Chu Chenfeng who was always looking at this girl gently, hoping that it would always remain the same.
"Just looking at you makes me angry. Get out, we are about to start."
Soon, a servant brought a large bathtub into the house, followed by buckets of black medicine, steaming hot.
There was no servant in Lingxiao Palace except for Madam Chen. All these were sent here by Wufeng. He couldn't do it like Mo Yan, who couldn't do it without someone to handle the trivial matters.
Xuanming glanced at Wufeng, nodded, and started preparing things on his own.
Seeing this, Huo Yuanruo became a little nervous. Why didn't he get any psychological preparation at all?
Li Mulan naturally noticed his emotions, "Yuanyuan, it's okay, we will be waiting for you outside the house. Old Phoenix and Second Senior Brother are here, don't worry, okay?"
Huo Yuanruo responded in a muffled voice, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was very nervous.
Wu Feng walked over with a bowl of black medicine and said, "Drink it."
Huo Yuanruo drank it without saying anything.
Uh...bitter...really more bitter than Coptis chinensis...
After finishing the drink, he looked at Li Mulan's back as she left, his eyes looking so lonely. Then he looked at Xuan Ming who looked indifferent, and Wu Feng who looked serious. Woo woo woo, so scared.
After the door was closed, the originally lively atmosphere outside suddenly became quiet.
Kuaizi stopped grilling the meat, and everyone else gathered in front of the house. Situ Tianming, who had been lying down with his eyes closed to rest, now opened his eyes, his eyes full of worry.
Li Mulan stood aside, and Chu Chenfeng held his hand to comfort her.
Shangguan Jing, Lin Yunfan and Li Youwei also arrived on time.
Long Yi and Qingyu followed closely behind, and behind them were Jian Qi, Xing Yi and others.
Even Mother Chen, although she didn't know what was going on, came over without taking off her apron and stood at the door, looking out.
Everyone nodded in greeting.
Li Youwei sat directly next to Situ Tianming's recliner and stopped joking with him. "With the Valley Master and Second Senior Brother here, there will definitely be no problem. Why are you all so serious? This weird atmosphere makes me nervous."
Lin Yunfan looked at Situ Tianming and asked, "Is Fifth Brother's injury better?"
Situ Tianming's eyes never left the door. "I'm just slightly injured. What's the matter?"
Shangguan Jing stood quietly aside.
Banben was very considerate and immediately brought a few chairs for people to sit down.
Li Youwei waved at Li Mulan, "Xiaojiu, come and sit down. Your knees must be uncomfortable. Don't stand." Then he looked at Chu Chenfeng and pouted, "Prince Regent, come and sit down too. Don't act like a door god. People who don't know would think that Lingxiao Palace doesn't know how to entertain guests."
It was clearly a nice thing to say, but when it came out of Li Youwei's mouth it sounded as if someone owed him money.
Chu Chenfeng nodded, supported Li Mulan and walked over.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one spoke anymore.
Suddenly, a painful cry came from inside the house, “Ah...ah..."
It was obviously Huo Yuanruo's. Li Mulan could no longer sit still and hurriedly stood up and took a few steps forward, but she did not dare to open her mouth to disturb him, for fear of affecting the treatment of the person inside.
"Someone come in!"
It was Xuanming's voice.
Li Mulan rushed in without saying a word, but Chu Chenfeng stopped her and said, "I'll go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked into the house.
An open door allows people outside to clearly see what is going on inside.
Huo Yuanruo was struggling in the bathtub with his upper body naked, his eyes closed and his face full of pain. The most frightening thing was that there were several black things like tendons, which seemed to have life, slowly moving from Huo Yuanruo's neck to his face.
Others may be unfamiliar with this, but Li Mulan and Xing Yi and others who had been to the underground palace of the Chiya people at that time knew it very well. This is very similar to the totem on the faces of the Chiya people.
Li Mulan watched this scene nervously, feeling extremely nervous.
Chu Chenfeng held down Huo Yuanruo's arms to make it easier for Xuanming and Wufeng to give him acupuncture.
The two of them cooperated very well. Although beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, the speed of inserting the needle did not decrease at all, and it was fast and steady.
Soon, Huo Yuanruo calmed down, but the black line remained on his neck and had not disappeared yet.
Chu Chenfeng was also soaked with water. He just wiped it with his hand when he heard Wufeng's voice, "Wipe the sweat off."
There were only three of them in the room. He and Xuanming were busy, so he was the only one wiping the sweat.
Chu Chenfeng reacted quickly. He immediately picked up a clean white cloth beside him and wiped Wufeng's sweat. After he was done, he did not leave but stood quietly aside in case any accidents happened later.
