I courted death and then tried to escape, so the whole sect wants to get rid of me.

Song Yao: "It was refined by Senior Ji Duchuan."

The Ninth Elder was even more shocked.

Ji Duchuan not only prescribed medicine for her and sent her notes, but also helped her refine medicine of this grade?

What did she say to coax him?

The other elders clearly shared the same question. Song Yao succinctly explained, "I said it was for treating my second senior sister's illness, and Senior Ji agreed. I don't know the specific reason."

Everyone was shrewd, and they understood immediately upon hearing this.

Medicine King Valley has never participated in the competition among the various sects in the Heavenly Pivot Realm. Ji Duchuan's act of being a guest of honor of the Northern Shaking Sect at this critical juncture will inevitably make people feel that Medicine King Valley is on the side of the Northern Shaking Sect.

Right now, he is refining medicine for Lin Mu and prescribing medicine for her, showing his utmost sincerity. This is to let Jiu Sheng Tang know that he has no hostility towards Jiu Sheng Tang, so as to clearly extricate himself from the situation.

"I understand what he means. I will definitely visit him to express my gratitude when I have time in the future."

The Second Elder stroked his beard, turned his head and saw Song Yao holding the pills, staring at him intently with anticipation in her eyes, and paused slightly.

The Ninth Elder, who was standing nearby, understood even faster than him: "I understand what you mean, but as you know, we sword cultivators are always very poor, but the Third Elder is very rich. You can ask him for whatever amount you want later."

After saying that, he added, "The Golden Scale Snake Grass is yours, and the sect will never take advantage of you for nothing."

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but this little girl kept making a fuss about leaving, and she wasn't very familiar with Zhu Zhao. Taking her pills for no reason was no different from robbing her.

We still need to settle accounts clearly.

Song Yao frowned, clearly deep in thought.

These elders are much more astute than she was in her previous life.

Could it be that he also owes her money?

The Third Elder has a bad temper...

But she wants to be an honest person, so it doesn't seem appropriate for her to be too calculating.

As she was agonizing over her decision, someone came out of her room, took off the jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to her: "Keep it for now. Ask me for the money later, and I'll pay you back together with the 150,000 from last time."

Song Yao was taken aback and looked up at her fourth junior brother.

This jade pendant was a keepsake left to him by his parents. It contained some of his talismans and was his most treasured possession.

He had tried to steal it before, but he always caught me.

Back then, he would always shake his head helplessly and say that this was not allowed, at least not now.

He got a little annoyed after the thefts happened so many times.

Now they're just casually giving it to her as collateral?

Several elders on the side were clearly surprised. Before they could stop him, Song Yao had already decisively handed over the money and the goods, taking the Peace Jade and handing him the Golden Scale Serpent Pill.

Xie Zhou entered the room to feed the medicine, while Song Yao played with the peace jade, causing the hearts of several elders to tremble.

The Sixth Elder said anxiously, "Good child, don't break your fourth senior brother's jade pendant. It's not easy for your fourth senior brother to suppress his inner demons."

Song Yao paused, her hand still playing with the jade pendant, and asked curiously, "What's it like when Fourth Senior Brother suffers a qi deviation?"

This involves privacy. The Sixth Elder sighed and shook his head: "You don't want to know. Let's go in and take a look."

Then he went inside to check on Zhu Zhao's condition.

Song Yao followed behind and peered inside.

Second Senior Sister lay quietly on her bed, her breathing a hundred times weaker than before she left, her chest not rising or falling at all.

His face was pale, and several dark purple veins emanated from his collar beneath the skin of his neck, looking quite ferocious.

Xie Zhou slightly lifted her chin, inserted the pill, stepped back half a step, and stood to the side with his eyes lowered.

The Sixth Elder immediately stepped forward, condensing a soft white light in his palm and gently placing it on Zhu Zhao's dantian. His spiritual energy flowed slowly along her meridians, gradually dispersing the medicinal power of the pill.

Under the white light, the dark purple veins on Zhu Zhao's neck faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her originally bloodless cheeks gradually regained a faint blush, and even her breathing became stronger.

Song Yao stood by the door, her eyebrows twitching almost imperceptibly.

As expected of a top-grade elixir, it is indeed effective.

It's just unclear how long this delay will last.

The Sixth Elder withdrew his hand, wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead, gestured to Xie Zhou, and the two walked out together, clearly still having something to say.

Song Yao frowned.

and many more.

Is she going to sleep with Zhu Zhao again?

She hurriedly called out to Xie Zhou, "Fourth Senior Brother."

Xie Zhou turned to look at her.

Song Yao said tactfully, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for my second senior sister and me to share a room all the time? Besides, there's only one bed."

Xie Zhou paused for a moment: "There are still rooms in my courtyard."

Song Yao didn't want to live in his courtyard.

Living together makes it easy for secrets to be exposed.

She quickly said, "Then take Second Senior Sister with you."

Xie Zhou: "No."

Song Yao: "Why?"

Xie Zhou: "Their relationship is strained."

Song Yao: "?"

Why are they at odds again?

Although they didn't talk much before, it shouldn't have reached the point of conflict.

Xie Zhou added, "My courtyard has many things and is protected by restrictions, making it inconvenient for the Sixth Elder to come and go and take care of them."

Song Yao: "......"

Okay.

Her yard has few things, making it the most suitable for requisition.

There's nothing we can do.

She gave up struggling: "Fine, then I'll go back to Baicao Peak to live."

Xie Zhou: "..."

He pursed his lips and looked at the group of chattering ducklings, chicks, and dogs in the courtyard: "You live in Baicao Peak, so it must be inconvenient for you to come and go."

Song Yao sighed with worry, and was about to suggest that she could bring her family back with her when Xie Zhou said calmly, "I'm not often at the sect, so you can just stay here and don't worry too much."

"Furthermore, the main peak is rich in spiritual energy, which is beneficial to your body."

That's true.

Staying on the main peak makes it less tiring.

She needs to take advantage of her time at the Nine Saints Hall to improve her health.

Song Yao considered it carefully for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

Xie Zhou hadn't returned even after being on the main peak for so long.

Living in his courtyard, we probably won't run into each other more than a few times, so it's not a big problem.

Xie Zhou nodded slightly and said simply, "Come over when you're ready."

He turned and went out.

Song Yao couldn't help but sigh again.

What a cold and aloof fourth junior brother!

It's completely different from before.

She didn't have much in the room to begin with, only a few pieces of clothing.

After thinking for a moment, he walked over to Zhu Zhao and took out a small notebook to record the expenses: "One hundred spirit stones for one night. You've stayed for over a month. Remember to pay me when you wake up."

She and Zhu Zhao don't get along, so there's no reason for her to live in her courtyard for free.

Even if Zhu Zhao has a bad temper, she can't just wake up and kill her just because she sees her collecting money, can she?

This behavior is reasonable.

She tore off the bill and stuffed it into Zhu Zhao's hand. Just as she did, Jiang Jin walked in, frowning. "You're accepting money from your second senior sister? She's your senior sister. This isn't appropriate, is it?"

Without saying a word, Song Yao reached out her hand to him: "Then you pay for her."

Jiang Jin: "...I, I'm also your senior brother."

Song Yao: "I don't care what your master is."

Jiang Jin: "..."
