Yun Qiaoqiao and Yun Shengsheng didn't have to wait long before Old Li rushed over in a flurry.

He was dressed in a neat brown suit with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his ever-present silver needle case was tucked into his waistband. He walked with a brisk pace, his white hair flying in the wind.

His eyes lit up instantly when he saw the sandalwood box that Yun Shengsheng was holding.

He immediately took the box, opened it, and carefully took out the jade lingzhi with its warm luster. He looked at it over and over for a while, then brought it to his nose to smell it. A bright smile, the kind only a young man would have, bloomed on his face, and even his voice rose a half tone.

"That's great, that brat is saved!"

"Little girl, hurry up and come with me to prepare the medicine!"

Yun Shengsheng immediately followed, and the old man and the child went into the makeshift pharmacy and closed the door for most of the day.

In the end, only half of the entire Ganoderma lucidum was used to make ten pills.

Zhen Linqing takes one pill every day for ten consecutive days, along with other medicinal baths, and can fully recover in a month.

He will be able to take up his sword and mount his horse again to command battles.

With only half a Ganoderma lucidum remaining, Old Li was afraid it wouldn't keep well and would go to waste. So he spent two more days tinkering with it and concocted ten life-saving pills.

Yun Shengsheng secretly had the system check it out. As long as a person still has a breath left, taking this pill can immediately restore 30% of their health.

Although it can't compare to the life-saving medicine in the system store, in a world without a system, it's already something that can snatch people from the clutches of the King of Hell.

Old Li secretly slipped five pills to Yun Shengsheng, telling her to pack them up herself and give them to whomever she wanted; he didn't care.

He kept the other five for himself, clearly intending to use them for something.

The master and apprentice exchanged a knowing glance, and neither of them told anyone.

Yun Shengsheng later secretly gave them all to her fourth sister, telling her to keep them for future use.

The matter of Zhen Linqing has finally been settled.

Li Lao, Yun Shengsheng, and Yun Pianpian were not military personnel, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in the military camp for long after they had finished their business.

Yun Qiaoqiao and Zhen Linqing personally saw them off, followed by Xiao Yunqi, Huang Ziyang, and Zheng Chuntang.

Just then, Yun Qiaoqiao had taken Yun Shengsheng's advice: "No matter where you go, if you have money, buy a house first. The house will definitely appreciate in value in the future."

So soon after Yun Qiaoqiao arrived here, she bought a house in the county.

The house originally belonged to a wealthy merchant and was considered one of the most impressive in this remote county town in the northwest. It had a carved gate tower, a courtyard paved with blue bricks, and two jujube trees with trunks as thick as two people could hug each other in the corner. It was July, and the jujubes were hanging all over the trees, some green and some bright red.

Wu Changchun and his group lived here and helped take care of the house.

Yun Qiaoqiao led everyone to the courtyard gate, where Wu Changchun opened it.

The group filed in, passed through the front yard, went around the screen wall, and then stopped almost simultaneously.

Under the jujube tree in the backyard, Wenren Jue sat in a chair, holding a book in his hand, reading intently.

The afternoon sunlight was filtered through the branches and leaves of the jujube tree, creating dappled golden spots that fell on his moon-white long robe, on his slender fingers holding the book, and on his slightly lowered eyelashes.

His complexion was much better than when he escaped from Xinyue City a few days ago. His cheeks had regained color, and his lips had returned to a light pink from their paleness. Sitting there, he looked like a piece cut out of a painting, so beautiful it was almost unreal.

The glint in his eyes, especially when he looked at them, was truly stunning.

Yun Shengsheng is a child and doesn't have many concerns.

She ran straight over, propped her chin up with her hands, and stood in front of Wenren Jue, staring at him with bright, undisguised, and self-righteous gaze.

"Brother, you're so beautiful!"

Wenren Jue put down his book and paused for a moment.

He wasn't without praise when he was in Yelang Kingdom.

He'd heard these phrases since he was a child; they were practically calloused to him.

But those compliments were always roundabout, subtle, and carried an unspoken sense of distance between literary figures.

No one has ever been as pure and untainted as this little girl.

Wenren Jue couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pat Yun Shengsheng's head: "Shengsheng is so beautiful too."

Yun Shengsheng's eyes crinkled with delight at the praise.

Wenren Jue raised his head and looked at the others who had followed him in.

He stood up, straightened his robes, and bowed respectfully to everyone with a composed and elegant demeanor.

"I have met you all."

Old Li walked over with a smile: "Alright, we're all family, no need to be so polite!"

He looked Wenren Jue up and down, then nodded: "As expected of someone from the Wenren family. His appearance and demeanor are exactly like your grandfather's."

Wenren Jue was slightly taken aback.

His grandfather had passed away more than ten years ago. How could this old man possibly know his grandfather?

He looked at Old Li with a cautious and inquisitive look in his eyes.

Old Li didn't keep anyone in suspense. He casually sat down on the stone bench next to him, crossed his legs, and said, "Old man, I do have some connection with your grandfather. As for what kind of connection, well, that's a long story. I'll tell you the details another time."

"Everyone calls me Old Li, so you can call me that too."

Wenren Jue was taken aback.

He had certainly heard of Elder Li, the divine physician of the Great Xuan Kingdom, whose medical skills were unparalleled.

Given his background and age, it's highly likely that he has a connection with his grandfather.

His expression turned solemn, and he bowed again, this time with even greater seriousness than before.

Old Li pulled him up with a smile, then sighed.

"Hey, you..."

He didn't know what to say next.

It's truly lamentable and tragic that such a virtuous and upright person as Old Man Wen almost had his entire clan wiped out.

"Luckily, you met Qiaoqiao and Shengsheng!"

They left an heir for the Wen family!

Wenren Jue pursed his lips: "Yes, it's truly all thanks to Miss Yun and the others!"

Standing behind Elder Li, Zhen Linqing naturally saw Wenren Jue as well.

He had already learned from Yun Qiaoqiao about the background of this young master Wenren: the orphan of a prominent family in Yelang Kingdom, who was imprisoned by the eldest princess and then rescued from the princess's residence by Yun Qiaoqiao.

Knowing something is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

When he saw Wenren Jue's face clearly, a sudden, inexplicable tension gripped his spine.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Yun Pianpian beside him.

Sure enough, Yun Pianpian was staring blankly at Wenren Jue.

"It's not her fault," Zhen Linqing thought to herself.

Just look at Wen Renjue's face; the moment he's there, not only women, but even passing cats will take a second look at him.

But despite being rational, that sour feeling in my heart kept bubbling up and I couldn't suppress it.

He pursed his lips, then quietly reached out and pinched a small corner of Yun Pianpian's sleeve, gently tugging at it.

Then he said weakly, "Pianpian, I feel a little dizzy..."
