Yan Xiao didn't say anything more. This Thousand Autumn Fruit is a priceless treasure for those who love beauty, and she was no exception.

She may not need it now, but she can use it in twenty or thirty years, right? Who would refuse to be ten or twenty years younger?

This Thousand Autumn Fruit has been growing for twenty years, its outer shell is extremely hard, and it has undergone special treatment, allowing it to be stored for a very long time. In addition, it is stored in a box made of special materials, so she doesn't have to worry about it spoiling at all.

Although her senior brother's situation was somewhat troublesome, the reward was more than enough to justify her efforts.

Having made her decision, she unceremoniously took the box and handed it to Qianqiu, saying:

"Come here, Qianqiu, this treasure shares your name with you, it's fate, please hold it for me first."

Upon hearing this, Qianqiu quickly took it with both hands, her eyes full of curiosity, but she was careful not to make any rash moves, for fear of breaking the treasure.

After Yanxiao accepted the gifts, she had to get to work.

She looked at the two of them and said directly to Chu Heng:

“Your problem is very complicated, and you should be aware of that, otherwise there would be no need for someone from Medicine King Valley like you to come down the mountain to seek medical help.”

"But since I've accepted your gifts, I must protect your life, though I need a month to make some preparations."

As soon as Yan finished speaking, Su Yuanyuan became restless and said anxiously:

"But you just said that, given my senior brother's current condition, he probably won't live more than three days. How can he wait for you for a month?"

"What's the panic? Let me finish."

Yan Xiao waved her hand, signaling Su Yuanyuan to calm down, and explained:

“Since I said I would save his life, I have my ways. He won’t die as long as I’m here, but he’ll have to stay with me for the next month.”

Although Su Yuanyuan didn't know where Yan Xiao's confidence came from, Yan Xiao's confident appearance didn't seem like he was fooling them.

Moreover, they were truly desperate. It was Yanxiao who insisted on bringing Chuheng here to try their luck. Chuheng only came because she couldn't persuade him otherwise. Now that there is hope, it's better than having no hope at all.

Su Yuanyuan glanced at Chu Heng with concern, then nodded and made the decision without seeking his consent, promising:

“Alright, as long as Madam can really cure my senior brother, aside from the Thousand Autumn Fruit, I, Su Yuanyuan, owe you my life. In the future, as long as you need my help, just ask.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao immediately perked up and seized the opportunity, enthusiastically saying:

"No need for later, let's do it now!"

"Huh? Now, now?"

Su Yuanyuan was a little confused, not knowing what Yan Xiao meant, when Yan Xiao explained with a smile:

"Of course, it's now! This Thousand Autumn Fruit is a treasure, but it can only save your senior brother's life. You and your fellow disciples will be eating my food, using my things, and living in my house for a whole month."

My clinic, Yuan Yi Tang, is a business, not a charity, so you'll have to pay a certain fee.

Yan Xiao glanced at the sickly Chu Heng, shook his head, and continued:

"Your senior brother is in such a state that he can't be used for a while, so we can only rely on you."

I won't make you do any hard labor. My clinic is short of a doctor to dispense medicine and provide consultations. Since you come from Medicine King Valley, this shouldn't be difficult for you. Just stay and work for a while.”

Yanxiao's Yuanyi Hall is now entirely dependent on her. The person in charge doesn't know much about pharmacology, and she, as a doctor, is not even a half-baked one. It all depends on her ability to pretend and her powerful supernatural abilities.

But that's not a good solution. She can't do everything herself. It would be perfect if someone could take over the clinic and management for her, and she could only be consulted when there were problems she couldn't handle.

Therefore, she had always wanted to find a proper manager for Yuanyitang, and Su Yuanyuan's temperament and abilities suited her taste quite well.

Plus, the fact that the other party comes from Medicine King Valley and works for her makes her look prestigious, and outsiders are more likely to believe her. It's also a form of publicity.

However, this requires first keeping the person around and slowly persuading them to willingly stay and work for her.

Su Yuanyuan had never met Yan Xiao before. Before even doing anything, he made demands without hesitation, and acted as if it were his due.

But she had just offered to repay the favor, and what the other party said made so reasonable that it didn't seem right to eat and stay for free. Besides, it was only for a month of sitting in the clinic, which didn't seem like an unreasonable request.

Su Yuanyuan was about to agree when she heard her senior brother weakly say:

"We can pay for your food and lodging, just name your price!"

Su Yuanyuan realized what Su Yuanyuan was saying: "Oh right, it's not like we're short of money. It's just a month's expenses, we can afford it for a whole year. There's no need for her to sell herself!"

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Yan Xiao reply in a very serious tone:

"Do you take this place for me? An inn? This is a general's mansion, a place you can just pay money to stay in. If that's the case, wouldn't my general's mansion be a bit too casual?"

"When the general returns and finds out I've been using the general's mansion like an inn, do you think I'll get away with it?"

The two siblings, upon hearing this, inexplicably felt that there was some truth to it. They were completely unaware that a guard named Zhao Qian at the door was trying his best to keep a straight face and not show any inappropriate expression.

Although Chu Heng felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find any words to refute it.

Su Yuanyuan was worried that she would upset Yan Xiao and prevent him from treating her senior brother wholeheartedly, so she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I agree, but I have to leave after my senior brother recovers."

Yan Xiao thought to herself, "Once you're on my pirate ship, there's no way you can get off," but she readily agreed verbally.

"I like straightforward people, so let's have a pleasant collaboration."

After Yan Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qian at the door and instructed him:

"Go and have someone arrange accommodations for the two of them; they should be in the same courtyard."

Zhao Qian was recalling when the general's wife had ever considered their general's feelings. Wasn't she always acting on a whim?

Even when the general returns, everyone has to watch their step. These old servants who have followed the general may not say it, but in their hearts they have already labeled the general as henpecked. In the mansion, they have gradually come to distinguish who is the king and who is the queen.

He was just thinking when he heard Yan Xiao's instructions, and he didn't dare to delay and quickly agreed.
