Upon hearing Chu Heng's words, Su Yuanyuan immediately became agitated:

"Senior brother, are you trying to get rid of me because I'm in your way?"

"What are you saying? How could I, cough cough..."

Chu Heng hadn't expected Su Yuanyuan to think that way, and his hurried tone caused him to cough.

"Senior brother, don't be angry. You've only just recovered, you can't get upset. I was just talking nonsense."

Su Yuanyuan quickly apologized to Chu Heng, afraid that he might get upset again just as he was starting to feel better.

After Chu Heng stopped coughing, he glanced at Su Yuanyuan, who looked remorseful, his eyes filled with helplessness, and sighed:

"Although you are not my biological sister, I took you in and raised you in Medicine King Valley. You are not related by blood, but you are closer than blood. How could I dislike you? I just hope you can get better."

Whether I will survive is still unknown, and even if I do survive, I don't know where I will be in the future.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, it would be fine, but in the world today, how can a young woman like you stay with me in this chaotic world, enduring wind and rain and living a nomadic life?

It's better to find a reliable future, and then find a reliable person later. That way, I, your senior, can feel more at ease.

Su Yuanyuan was not comforted by Chu Heng's heartfelt words.

She lowered her head, a fleeting look of melancholy in her eyes. She didn't directly respond to Chu Heng's words, only saying:

"Senior brother, you are still weak and need to rest more. As for other things, we can talk about them later. I'll go get you a cup of tea."

As she spoke, she helped Chu Heng sit down, then turned and ran away quickly without giving him a chance to reply.

Chu Heng watched her retreating figure and sighed helplessly. He felt that once the child grew up, she had her own ideas and wasn't as obedient as she was when she was little.

After leaving the room, Su Yuanyuan hid in a corner and secretly wiped away the tears she couldn't hold back.

She glanced back at the spot she had just run from, her face filled with undisguised grievance and disappointment. Finally, she pouted, suppressed the urge to rush in and tell her what was on her mind, and turned to leave.

Yan Xiao was unaware of the conversation between the two senior and junior disciples. After arranging things for Chu Heng and Su Yuanyuan, she went to check on the courtyard prepared for Qiao'er.

This clever girl is Mo Antong's Achilles' heel. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it well. You can't be careless.

When she finished her work and returned to her own yard, thinking about what she still had to do, she felt a little tired and didn't know how long it would take before she could realize her dream of being able to count money while lying down.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. She is only doing this because she has Shen Muzhi's backing. If she were to fight alone, she would only encounter more problems.

Her biggest problem right now is that she doesn't have many trustworthy people at her disposal, and she has to do many things herself. Therefore, recruiting talent is something that needs to be put on the agenda and cannot be taken lightly.

In the afternoon, Yan Xiao took a nap. When she woke up, Qian Qiu told her that Mo Antong's daughter had been taken to the General's Mansion by Zhao Qian's people and had been settled in. Mo Antong was accompanying her at the time.

After Yanxiao found out, she tidied herself up a bit and went to the courtyard arranged for Qiao'er, and asked Qianqiu to bring the silver needles she needed for treatment.

Qiao'er's condition is special, so we don't need to go to Yuanyitang to treat her; it's more convenient to do it directly in Qiao'er's courtyard.

When Yan Xiao arrived, Mo Antong was sitting with Qiao'er in the pavilion in the courtyard, with two teenage maids beside them, who were Qiao'er's personal maids.

At this moment, Qiao'er looked very quiet. If it weren't for her overly clear eyes and simple expression, no one would be able to tell that she had any intellectual disability.

Yan Xiao wasn't wearing a hat at the time, and Mo Antong, seeing her for the first time, was slightly taken aback.

He only snapped out of his daze when he saw the two figures of Chiaki and Wandai following behind her on either side.

He dared not look any longer, quickly lowered his head to suppress the surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly stood up to bow.

"Greetings, Madam. May you be well."

"Master Mo, there's no need for such formalities. From now on, we're family."

Yan Xiao wasn't surprised that this person could immediately guess her identity. She slightly raised her hand to signal Mo Antong to get up, then walked directly to Qiao'er, looked her over, and said with a smile:

"It seems that Qiao'er is accepting this courtyard well. She looks much more well-behaved today than before."

Upon hearing this, Mo Antong quickly replied gratefully, "Madam, you've gone to so much trouble. This courtyard is quiet and tidy, much better than my little courtyard."

"It's all as it should be. Qiao'er is in good condition today and can have her first treatment."

While the two were talking, Qiao'er kept staring at Yan Xiao with curiosity.

Seeing Yanxiao smiling at her, she smiled foolishly along with her, mumbling "sister" under her breath.

Qiao'er's reaction pleased Mo Antong, but remembering where he was, he didn't dare to be too unrestrained. He simply cupped his hands to Yan Xiao and said:

"Now that my daughter has been brought to the General's Mansion, we trust Madam. From now on, Madam will decide on all the treatment options."

As for what Madam desires, I will do my utmost to fulfill it and will certainly not disappoint Madam's expectations.

"No problem."

Yan Xiao nodded in satisfaction at Mo Antong's attitude, gestured for Qiao'er's two maids to take Qiao'er into the house, and then spoke to Mo Antong:

"In that case, let's each do our own job. I'll go to the factory in a few days to see how it goes."

Mo Antong naturally understood the meaning behind Yan Xiao's words. He glanced at Qiao'er's retreating figure with some reluctance, then gritted his teeth, turned his gaze back, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yan Xiao, and said:

"Then I will trouble you with my daughter from now on, Madam. I will take my leave now."

Yan Xiao liked sensible people, and when she saw Mo Antong refer to himself as a subordinate, a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes:

"Okay, go ahead."

After seeing Mo Antong off, Yan Xiao took the silver needle box from Qianqiu's hand, signaling the two to wait outside, while she went into Qiao'er's room alone.

Qiao'er's situation is special; she is prone to nervousness and emotional instability when she sees strangers, but because of the trace of supernatural energy she had earlier, she feels a sense of affinity towards Qiao'er.

So when she was receiving treatment, Qiao'er didn't resist at all, just sat there obediently, which saved her a lot of trouble.

When Yanxiao came out of the house, it was already half an hour later, and Qiao'er had already fallen asleep due to the treatment.

This left Yan Xiao speechless. She had now discovered that after treating her patients, more than half of them would fall asleep comfortably.

This made her feel that she could actually become a hypnosis master, and anyone with sleep difficulties could come to her and she would guarantee that they would fall asleep instantly.

However, this thing doesn't bring in much money at once and takes a lot of time, so she's starting to look down on it.

Not long after they rested, someone came to report that Mu Yunniang had arrived and said she had something urgent to discuss.

Yan Xiao was puzzled by these words. It was still early before the time she had agreed to meet Mu Yunniang. She wondered what urgent matter this person had that required them to come see her so early.

Worried that it was related to the soap, she didn't dare to delay and hurried towards Yuan Yitang.

This is why she is now a level two ability user. Both the amount and purity of her ability energy storage and the recovery speed are much higher than when she was level one. Otherwise, she would really be unable to cope after a day.
