Round Little Panda Cub (Part One)
After eating and drinking their fill, master and disciple went with Yu Fu back to her courtyard.
Master and disciple had not seen each other for a long time, thus they must have a great deal to talk about.
In the main hall, Gu ShuBai and the others were rejoicing. The poison affecting Gu HuaiJiang could finally be treated.
Yu Fu had worked so tirelessly for so many days to discover a prescription that she did not dare use lightly, yet who knew that Xun Chi would be able to immediately reach a conclusion just by checking Gu HuaiJiang’s pulse.
“He truly is a divine person 150 years of age. Is there even a need for him to walk? He might as well be floating, being able to reach you just like that!”
Gu Yi was the most excited, admiringly saying: “If he could also teach me how he walks the same way that he gave third brother advice, wouldn’t I be unbeatable in this world?”
If he could not win, he would run, and nobody would be able to outrun him.
Gu Xiang tapped him on the head, “Just look at yourself. Rather than asking Deity of Medicine to give you advice when it comes to using your sword, you wanted to ask him for advice on how to escape. What sort of unbeatable would that be?”
Gu HanMo, however, said: “Deity of Medicine’s ability is not something that we of the younger generation can learn, but I am quite interested in that Tian Shu.”
Gu Yi felt a sudden chill.
He had never heard his third brother say that he was interested in anyone.
Who knew that the first time he heard it, he would be talking about another man…
Gu HanMo glanced at him, and the latter quietly lowered his head, not daring to reveal his imagination.
Gu HuaiJiang shook his head with a smile. During this time that he had been poisoned, everyone in the manor had held their breath and kept quiet. Even the usually rowdy Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were not in the mood to play around.
Yu Fu, who brought them great joy, spent her days working to create an antidote, which left Marquis Gu’s Manor in a depressed state.
Finally being able to hear some laughter today, his mood improved significantly.
“Did you really think that Deity of Medicine is only 150 years old, as he claims?”
With Gu HuaiJiang speaking up, everyone looked at him in shock.
Could it be that 150 was not old enough?
Could it be as Yu Fu said, and Deity of Medicine really was 200?
Gu HuaiJiang said: “Have you guys noticed that Deity of Medicine’s eyebrows have already reached his shoulders? Apparently, very long eyebrows are a sign of a long life. For people who have eyebrows that curve a little, they tend to live a few decades longer than the average person. Moreover, his eyebrows droop down to his shoulders. Father has only ever seen such an appearance in one other place.”
“What place is that?”
“A Daoist temple, Changmei Zhenren.”
Changmei Zhenren, that was a Daoist who had ascended to become a deity…
“Yu Fu, let me take a look at you. You must have suffered wrongs in this shoddy marquis’ manor!”
Xun Chi had Yu Fu spin around. Before Yu Fu could react, she was spun around in the opposite direction.
After looking at Yu Fu over twice, Xun Chi was beside himself.
“Why have you become so thin? Are they not giving you anything to eat?!”
Tian Shu stood to the side and hastily side: “Master, Yu Fu has grown much taller. How could she not have anything to eat?”
The dignified Marquis Gu’s Manor would not be reserved when it came to giving her food, right?
Xun Chi glared at him.
In front of others, this disciple was cold and blank like the snow. When it was just him and Yu Fu, he became much more talkative.
Could he not be a little less extreme?
Tian Shu quietly moved to the side, no longer daring to interject.
Yu Fu glanced at him, “Master, second senior disciple is right. Look, haven’t I grown taller? Aunty Li said that girls will all get thinner when they grow taller. If I was still as fat as I was when I little, how ugly would that be?”
“Nonsense, who would dare say that you’re fat? When you were young, you were round like a panda cub.”
Yu Fu: “…”
Who wanted to be a panda cub. She was a girl, a girl!”
But Xun Chi had always treated his disciples equally, with there being no difference between males and females, with those sent to study poisons by Western Kun being the exception.
Yu Fu was worried that Xun Chi would blame the people of Marquis Gu’s Manor for not taking good care of her, thus she decided to speak first, “Master, I heard that young children can’t just eat vegetables. They need to eat meat to grow tall. Last year, when I left the valley, others were laughing at me for being short!”
Xun Chi guiltily ran his fingers through his beard.
“Only by eating vegetables can you have the demeanor of an immortal and move swiftly like lightning. It would be best to eat less oily meats. Even if you are away from the valley, you must remember to eat more vegetables. Do you understand?”
Oily meats?
Like the chicken legs from dinner?
Yu Fu did not bring it up but silently rejoiced. It seemed that Xun Chi did not plan on bringing her back with him.
Tian Shu finally had a chance to speak to Yu Fu, “Yu Fu, do you plan on staying in Marquis Gu’s Manor the entire time? The country’s situation has changed. Those people who were sent to search for you have already left. You can go anywhere you want. There’s no need to worry about anything.”
All of this had already been mentioned in Xun Chi’s earlier letters, and Yu Fu already understood.
“Second senior disciple, I know, but I still don’t want to go back right now.”
Xun Chi let out a snort, “Could it be that you’ve really set your eyes on that brat, the heir to Marquis Gu? What’s so good about him? I will need to test him. If he is unworthy of being with you, I will absolutely refuse this engagement!”
Tian Shu took this opportunity to say: “Master, then can I test the third young sir?”
Yu Fu looked at him with a smile and thought that the two of them really were birds of the same feather. One person with a cold expression had found another with a cold expression.
Tian Shu and Gu HanMo had found their match and wanted to stand opposite one another.
During their first meeting today, those few exchanges had been very fun.
Xun Chi waved his hand and said: “Go ahead. Knock him down and let the people of Marquis Gu’s Manor see a little of the world! Without the slightest bit of ability, don’t even think of trying to take Yu Fu away!”
