Think of Something (Part Four)
On the carriage ride back to the manor, Yu Fu was gasping for air from laughing.
“Second senior disciple, did you learn some bad tricks from master? In the past, you didn’t know how to act.”
The three sat in the same carriage, with Yu Fu sitting in the middle and Gu ShuBai and Tian Shu sitting to her two sides.
He pointed at Gu ShuBai with his chin, “The eldest young sir’s acting was even better. It was truly perfection. As expected of someone who grew up surrounded by the influence of the court.”
Gu ShuBai cupped his hands and gave thanks, “Brother Tian Shu, there’s no need to be so courteous. I learned it from my family, while you are self-taught. It’s natural that you’re more impressive.”
Tian Shu glanced at him, suddenly understanding why Yu Fu liked staying in Marquis Gu’s Manor.
These people really were not ordinary. They were skilled martial artists, and they were even more skilled with their words.
Yu Fu laughed and said: “Master is the best at acting, immediately dispelling any doubts that people had. Then with the act that second senior disciple and eldest brother put on, outsiders were even more convinced that master and Marquis Gu’s Manor don’t get along.”
They had indeed accomplished their goal, but there was surely no shortage of people who misunderstood the situation.
When they arrived back at the manor, Gu HanMo came out to receive them with a serious look on his face.
Rather than Gu WenQing, Gu Xiang, and Gu Yi, standing behind him were Yan Zheng and various military officials from the Gu family’s army…
It was the group that always liked to refer to Yu Fu as young madam.
They all wore murderous expressions and looked very unkind.
Gu ShuBai was quick to act, pulling Yu Fu to his side, “Yan Zheng must have heard that brother Tian Shu has exceptional abilities and wanted to come for some advice. Since you wouldn’t understand, let’s go and see father first.”
After saying this, he led Yu Fu inside. Yu Fu furrowed her brow, feeling that things were not as simple as he had described.
Did asking for advice require such murderous expressions?
Fortunately, Gu HanMo was also present, so she was not worried. She just obediently followed Gu ShuBai to the main hall.
Tian Shu stood at the entrance on his own with a look of confusion on his face.
Yan Zhe gritted his teeth, “Hey! I heard that it’s you who wants to steal our young madam?”
A clash of swords and bodies followed by the sound of pitiful wailing.
Within a quarter of an hour, Yan Zheng and his group had been beaten to the ground, holding parts of their bodies and crying out in pain.
Too ruthless, this person was too ruthless, and all of his moves were unorthodox!
Unlike them, who were raised in a military circle, where every move was rigid and standard, and there were no tricks.
Yan Zheng held his butt and climbed up from the ground with great difficulty, “If you have the ability, don’t dodge. Let’s fight head-on. What sort of ability is flying around all over the place?”
Tian Shu held his sword and sneered, “If you have the ability, you can fly too.”
“Then let’s fly.”
Gu HanMo, who had been standing to the side, suddenly flew up, and the two quickly came together. Their movements were quick and accurate, and it was hard to tell who was winning.
Yan Zheng watched wide-eyed, “Third young sir, when did you learn to fly?”
…
“Great Deity of Medicine, may I ask what medicine aside from things like cinnabar and fossil fragments would be more effective for relieving excessive anger?”
A group of imperial physicians gathered around a table in the outer room, their brushes ready to write down anything that was said.
Xun Chi sat cross-legged in the inner room and relaxedly answered everyone’s questions through a screen.
“Medicines that can be administered as a fragrance can quickly alleviate the symptoms, and using borneol is faster than preparing medicine.”
Whoosh.
All of the imperial physicians started writing it down like elementary school students in class.
Another imperial physician asked: “Apparently poisoned wine can’t be treated. May I ask sir Deity of Medicine, is there any way of treating it?”
Excessive anger was a common occurrence with the members of the imperial harem, and poisoned wine was a common tactic. These imperial physicians were really asking some practical questions.
Xun Chi paused for a moment, “The answer for this is too long, and I can’t be bothered to say it. When Yu Fu has a chance in the future, you can just ask her. She is my disciple, and she is the one in Immortals Valley that I have taught the most closely.”
Imperial physician Sun was the one with the most right to speak up about this, and he immediately stood up to say: “Right, young miss Yu Fu once gave this lowly subject a prescription for treating colds. After this lowly subject returned, I thought about it for many days and really could not think of a better prescription! Though young miss Yu Fu is an immortal practitioner of poison, her medical skills are exceptional!”
What, Yu Fu also knew medicine?
This was the first time that the imperial physicians had heard. They turned their eyes on imperial physician Sun and snorted in contempt at this middle-aged man.
He actually hid this from everyone and secretly consulted Yu Fu?
It was so unfathomable that it was infuriating.
A faint tut came from behind the screen.
“You can’t even treat something as simple as a cold. It’s no wonder Eastern Ling’s people don’t live for very long. In Northern Li, 80 can’t even be considered a long life. It can’t be any more normal.”
Regardless of whether it was Eastern Ling or Western Kun, people very rarely heard any news from Northern Li.
Suddenly hearing Xun Chi bring it up, everyone’s ears perked up.
“Has the great Deity of Medicine been to Northern Li?”
“Naturally, where on this continent have I not gone? I rarely come to Eastern Ling. Most of my disciples are in Northern Li and Western Kun. Many decades ago, your empress dowager was a close friend of mine, and that is why I personally came to treat her.”
Western Kun had many of the Deity of Medicine’s disciples?
Upon hearing Western Kun, all of the imperial physicians caught a whiff of some conspiracy and began quietly whispering.
“Western Kun has so many people studying in Immortals Valley, while our Eastern Ling has none. Is it not expected that we are a step behind them?”
“That’s right. If Western Kun’s people are better at medicine than Eastern Ling’s, what right would we as imperial physicians have to make a living off of medicine?”
“How about we also come up with an idea. Look…”
They quietly reached a conclusion, and they suddenly stood up and kneeled facing Xun Chi.
