"Qingying, don't you send pills back to the Yun family regularly?"
"Yes, but it wasn't me who gave it to her. It was my master. She was satisfied with me as her disciple, and she gave the Yun family a reward by giving them a pill every ten years. It can basically cure any disease, except for those that are destined to be fatal."
It turns out that the money was debited from Ning Xianzhi's mother's account, which is even more concerning to Chu Wuji!
"Qingying, when you return to the Yun family, just say, 'My action this time will offset one pill. The pills for the next ten years have been prepaid to the Third Master.'"
In this way, if anyone wants to "harass" them privately in the future, the head of the Yun family will be the first to disagree, and the other members of the family will not agree either.
Originally, the right to use the elixir was decided and arranged by the head of the Yun family. Now someone has bypassed the clan and is using it directly for private purposes. Who can accept this?
Chu Wuji added:
"Qingying, when you go back this time, find out who in the Yun family still owes you a small favor, and repay them all. Check if you have any hidden illnesses or anything like that. That way, no one will have an excuse to look for you again."
He could more or less see that Yun Qingying still had some gratitude in her heart and was not completely heartless. The Third Master was not really doing her any favors. He was simply trying to gain benefits from the clan leader and now he came to Yun Qingying to act pitiful.
He wanted to collect payment twice for one transaction, obtained the benefits of the clan leader, and also wanted Yun Qingying to help with medical treatment?
However, the boxing master recommended by the Third Master did help Yun Qingying throughout the whole process, otherwise Yun Qingying's efforts would have been in vain.
Yun Qingying is not so much grateful now as she is filled with lingering fear, and is thinking of her luck.
"It's a bit troublesome. Do I have to explain so much?" The girl frowned. She didn't like this kind of planning in interpersonal relationships.
It was rare for Chu Wuji to see Yun Qingying, who worked so hard, showing such a lazy expression, so he chuckled and said:
"It's just two points, I've listed them all for you, once and for all. You don't have to bother going to Master anymore~"
Yun Qingying looked in the direction of her mother, her eyes as calm as a deep pool. She still had a cold and indifferent expression and whispered:
"You accompany me and mother back to the Yun family and help me speak."
She was still not very good at asking others for help. Her tone was guilty and her momentum was not as strong as in normal conversations.
There's even a hint of coquettishness, but it's not very obvious.
"Is the trouble so serious?" Chu Wuji smiled.
Wen Yaoer noticed the situation here. She didn't expect Yun Qingying to be whispering to her brother, and she was deliberately speaking so quietly, afraid that others would hear. What kind of shameful thing was this?!
The little princess put on a fierce expression, put her pink fists on her waist, and walked towards Chu Wuzhi with thumping steps.
"What are you secretly saying to your brother? You're hiding it from everyone else. Aren't you ashamed?"
Yun Qingying's expression remained unchanged. Her stern face turned and stared at him intently. The girl's tone became a little more forceful:
"Brother, accompany me back to the Yun family."
Chapter 345 The fight for sister has always been fierce
Chu Wuzhi finally chose to accompany Yun Qingying back to the Yun family, not because he was afraid that she would be bullied, but because he was afraid that she would get too angry.
There is no need to talk much about Xiao Yaoer and Xiao Tu. Yaoer and Yun Qingying are so stubborn that there is no way they will go back to the palace obediently.
"Okay, Yao'er, don't make trouble for a while, okay?" Chu Wuji earnestly instructed.
"Yeah, Yao'er won't say anything and will stay with brother!" Wen Yao'er let Chu Wuzhi hold her and leaned in his arms.
The little rabbit was not held, but her "cute" animal instinct was still alive. She easily climbed onto Chu Wuzhi's upper body from the tree branch, slipped into his arms, found a "classy seat" and sat down, intending to take a look at the Yun family's Grand View Garden.
As they approached the Yun Mansion, Chu Wuji approached Madam Jiang and asked:
"Mrs. Jiang, do you want me to help you carry your things?"
"No need. Aren't you tired of holding two girls?" Mrs. Jiang wanted to pinch the little girls' faces, but she was afraid that her daughter would get jealous and think that her mother was siding with others.
At the gate of the Yun Mansion, the gatekeeper almost didn't recognize Madam Jiang and Yun Qingying. The mother and daughter were dressed in casual clothes, but their appearance and temperament were like those of goddesses and beauties. For a moment, it was difficult to match them with the impression he had of the two.
Without much effort, Chu Wuzhi followed Yun Qingying into the Yun Mansion smoothly.
Along the way, clan members, young and old, ran out to greet them. It felt like they were welcoming Yun Qingying back to her hometown in glory. Even though Yun Qingying looked indifferent and unkind throughout, the Yun family clan members never stopped smiling.
Even Mrs. Jiang, who had been marginalized in the past, was treated warmly and courteously. This was a special treatment that only the mother of the top scholar could receive.
Some people who wanted to get close to her even called Madam Jiang "Fairy Lady." Although Madam Jiang was indeed worthy of the title given her beauty and elegance, she knew she didn't have the ability to do so, so how could she dare accept such a title...
Seeing Mrs. Jiang's dilemma, Chu Wuji took two steps faster to block her delicate body. Others wanted to push Chu Wuji away, but his steps seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he stood still. He could even use his clever strength to trip the other person, making it look like they fell by themselves.
Mrs. Jiang was grateful in her heart and whispered:
"Wu Ji, this is your first time at the Yun family, right? I'll take you to see our yard later. It's where Qingying grew up~"
This is not the first time he has come here. The last time he "backstabbed" Yun Qingying was in her room.
"I've been here..."
Chu Wuji had just said a few words when Yun Qingying immediately gave him a cold, threatening look, and he stopped talking immediately.
Led by the head of the Yun family, Yun Qingying came to the bedridden Third Master. He was very old and not very conscious. He could only speak for a while every day and would tell his younger generations, "I don't want to die yet."
Yun Qingying did not study medicine, but examining the physical condition of ordinary people was as simple as it could be.
She could see at a glance that the Third Master was simply old and in poor health, and his indulgence in alcohol and food had damaged his organs, which led to the outbreak in his later years.
Frankly speaking, this was a very good old age for him. All his illnesses only broke out when he was about to die, so they did not torture him for too long. It can barely be considered that he enjoyed his old age.
Even if he was really cured, the Third Master's consciousness would not support him to continue to be so carefree. His frail soul could not control his vigorous body and would only make him irritable and affect the harmonious atmosphere of his family.
When Yun Qingying was struggling, the Third Master finally became sober.
His desire to survive was extremely strong. Before he could figure out the current situation, the moment he saw Yun Qingying, he begged loudly:
"For the sake of the famous teacher that the Third Master found for you...save me!"
Several descendants of the Third Master's lineage half-knelt and begged:
"Qingying, you can't become a deity and forget your roots! The favor you owed me to your master is not small!"
Chu Wuji secretly shook his head and sneered in his heart. He noticed that the head of the Yun family was nearby and his face changed. He obviously realized that his clan member's remarks were inappropriate.
These clan members have not changed their mindset yet, and they think that Yun Qingying, the little girl who is tied to the pole of "family high hopes", can be morally oppressed under the excuse of "family justice" and "responsibility and hope".
"Shut up!" The head of the Yun family scolded and ordered the servants to take those people out of the room.
"Qingying..." Mrs. Jiang came to her daughter's side, afraid that she would be angry.
Yun Qingying's reaction was calm, and she was a little surprised. She found herself so calm that she thought she would lose control and get angry.
She gave her mother a reassuring look, then took out a pill, drew a strand of medicinal power from it, and flew it into the old man's body. The Third Master's complexion improved instantly.
Others were surprised, and the doctor from the Yun family widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Is it, is it that simple?!"
Simple means easy. For other tribesmen, it seems to mean that I can also enjoy this kind of treatment and recovery. Anyway, for the immortals, it is just a matter of waving the hand.
"Qingying, my stomach is not feeling well now. I feel bloated after eating anything."
"And my dad, he's old and has kidney deficiency, I want to ask if there's a cure for him!"
"Help my son while you can. The short-sighted martial artist said his physique is too weak. Qingying, please teach me some of your cultivation experience! You are definitely better than the martial artist!"
Voices clamoring for help from the immortals rang out inside and outside the house.
Yun Qingying felt that she had done some "pre-study exercises". She seemed to have seen a similar scene at the White Snake Temple in Diaolongkou. The person involved at that time was Chu Wuzhi's white snake mother.
The girl's heart was calm. She found that people from aristocratic families, despite having received so much etiquette education, were essentially no different from ordinary people at certain times.
Yun Qingying then glanced at the tribesmen, pointed out the serious hidden illnesses of several of them, but refused to treat them, and said:
"I've pointed out the problem to you. Find a way to fix it yourself."
The tribesmen were stunned: "Can't you just help us heal it? It's just a matter of waving your hands, no effort at all."
Yun Qingying ignored these voices, looked at the head of the Yun family calmly, and said:
"I owe the Yun family a favor, but not you personally. You cannot represent the ancestors of the Yun family. Master has already used the magic medicine to help me repay the favor.
One pill will be given every ten years for a total of two hundred years. How to use it will be decided by the clan leader. The pills for the next ten years have already been used on the Third Master.
Having said this, Yun Qingying said no more. She waved her hand lightly, and the invisible wind pressure blew the people at the door away. She took her mother and Chu Wuzhi and strolled around the yard on her own.
After taking a walk around, he left the Yun Mansion.
In the Third Master's room, the clan members were angry.
A woman of the same generation as Yun Qingying, already married and with children, expressed dissatisfaction with Yun Qingying's arrogant demeanor, especially the contrast between their looks and temperaments. The feeling of inferiority made her even more angry:
"Clan leader, the Yun family supported her to become a deity, but now they've turned their backs on her. What an ungrateful person!"
"She was just a young girl who fainted while practicing martial arts. Now she is reluctant to help even her tribesmen with medical treatment!" Another peer echoed.
The head of the Yun family looked at the younger generations coldly and ordered them to shut up.
He knew that today's situation was the result of the causes planted in the past. It was just that it was rare for the family to produce such a good seedling, and everyone was afraid that if they relaxed for a moment, they would miss the opportunity and ruin the seedling.
"It's normal for Qingying not to be close to her family. It's enough for her to retain a slight connection with them. Don't expect more.
Take those people who just spoke nonsense out to the street and slap them 200 times in front of the people. You cannot make irresponsible remarks about the immortal cultivators!
In the future, you are not allowed to harass Qingying when she comes down the mountain without permission. Violators will be deemed to have stolen the family's elixir, and the entire lineage will be expelled from the Yun Family!"
This wisp of incense and immortal fate should be used to save the family's life, and must not be wasted on trivial matters.
The old housekeeper asked, "Clan leader, the Third Master has now privately used one of the family's elixirs. What should we do..."
"Deprive the Third Master's line of their family subsidies and make them earn their own living expenses within the next ten years. Also, those people who just slapped their faces, execute them now!"
The words of the head of the Yun family are as effective as the family rules. Even though those youngsters cried and begged for mercy, they were still taken to the street by the servants and slapped in public.
The delicate and tender members of the Yun family had swollen faces after being slapped half a hundred times, but there were still more than a hundred slaps waiting for them. They no longer cared about their image and broke down crying.
The people on the streets were all amazed:
"What have the Yun family done wrong? They say family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public, but why are the children of aristocratic families being dragged out and beaten like this?"
"This means that this punishment is for others to see. It is not enough to just punish within the clan."
Before the excitement here was over, new fun started happening at the Yun family.
The third master, who had come back to life, was furious when he learned that all the family salaries of his lineage had been gone. They were used to extravagance and did not know how to save money. They just waited for the family to give them money.
The third master didn't dare to say a word to the clan leader, so he took out his anger on his own younger generations, cursing and smashing things, and even chasing them into the streets to beat them.
There is no warmth and feeling of recovery, no peace!
"Third Master, you are alive now because we prayed to the immortals for many days!"
"I am still alive, but my money is gone!"
*
Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang were temporarily "homeless", so Chu Wuzhi took them directly to Prince Jing'an's Mansion, where there were many rooms.
On the way, Chu Wuji smiled gently and said:
"Qingying, why do you need me to accompany you? You can handle it well by yourself~!"
Yun Qingying didn't say anything, but responded to Chu Wuzhi with her eyes. Judging from the meaning in those clear eyes - it should be gratitude.
Mrs. Jiang was surprised. She looked at her daughter in disbelief and said with relief:
"Mother was afraid that you would lose your temper just now. Those people were really unreasonable. It was fine if they just said sarcastic remarks before, but now they can't understand the situation!
I didn’t expect Qingying that you are now so calm. You must have learned something from Master Ning~”
The fact that she no longer gets angry easily shows that Yun Qingying has indeed walked out of the dark haze of the past ten years of her life and is no longer affected by it.
Yun Qingying rarely stopped looking grumpy. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and for a moment she had the stunning beauty of a blooming snow lotus. The girl whispered:
"Because I have always had my mother to take care of me and my fellow apprentices to help me come up with ideas. The storms of the past can no longer reach me now."
Mrs. Jiang smiled helplessly. Her daughter was really that kind of person. What was so difficult about just calling Chu Wuzhi "brother"?
Mrs. Jiang felt that she had not done much to "care and care" for her daughter as she said. Her daughter had been under a lot of pressure since she was a child. The only thing that Mrs. Jiang felt was that she had really helped her daughter was to find a brother, Chu Wuzhi.
Wen Yaoer was a little confused. She leaned on Chu Wuji's neck and asked curiously in a low voice:
"Brother, who is the junior fellow disciple she's talking about? Master hasn't even thanked her yet, but she's already thanking the junior fellow disciple. How strange!"
“…” Yun Qingying remained silent.
Why is this little girl so teasing!
