Chapter 40: Your taste is not that strong



In less than three seconds, the big rooster was jumping around.

Su Chaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt it was a little unbelievable. If the poison had not been newly developed by him, he would have thought that Shen Yizi had specially developed the antidote to defeat it.

Then, he tried some common poisons on the market, such as arsenic and thiamine, and the detoxification pills quickly detoxified them.

"This detoxification pill costs one hundred taels each. What do you think, Miss Shen?"

With such an antidote pill, as long as the poison is not too strong, you don’t have to worry about your life.

Of course, if the poison is too strong, the person may die before the poison is detoxified.

Therefore, this detoxification pill is definitely worth the money.

Thinking of this, Su Chaiyu couldn't help but feel a little painful for the detoxification pills he had just used in the drug trial.

This price was somewhat beyond Shen Yizi's expectations.

She originally set the price at three hundred taels per bottle. There were ten pills in it, and the price per pill was thirty taels.

This is already expensive enough, but I didn’t expect that Mr. Su would be so generous.

So she simply said, "No problem."

When she walked out of the pharmacy, she had an extra sum of two thousand three hundred taels of silver in her pocket.

Moreover, Su Chaiyu promised her that he would help her find the medicines she needed as soon as possible.

Su Chaiyu was still sitting in his seat, rubbing a bottle of detoxification pills in his hand.

"Da Huang, go follow Miss Shen and see her——"

A man in black suddenly appeared and stood in front of him like a shadow, waiting for his instructions.

"Forget it. It would be bad if we alerted the enemy. Let's just keep the good business relationship like this."

Su Chaiyu tapped the table rhythmically with his slender jade-like fingers. Thinking of Shen Yizi, he chuckled for no apparent reason.

Dahuang disappeared silently again, turning into a shadow.

"Let's go. I heard that Zhou Zhou is cultivating himself in Yunchan Temple. Let's go and see him."

When there were no outsiders present, Su Chaiyu revealed his casual and relaxed nature, which was very different from his previous gentle and polite appearance.

"Young Master, are you leaving now?" Su Guangbai heard the noise next door and hurried out of the house.

Su Chaiyu took out a white jade fan from somewhere and fanned it gracefully, "I've taken Miss Shen's medicine. When she comes to sell medicine next time, you might as well give her a little more profit. You must let her feel the sincerity of our Huichuntang, understand?"

"I know, I know." Su Guangbai bowed.

Seeing him walk away, I chased him and shouted, "Take care—"

However, when I went out, he was gone.

* Yunchan Temple, in the southern suburbs of Langcheng.

There are two dragon plum trees growing next to the pavilion on the back mountain. Over the years, the branches of these two dragon plum trees have grown together and are entangled with each other at the top of the pavilion. The branches are intertwined to form a natural platform, and the dense leaves on it cast a thick shade.

On this platform, two people were sitting opposite each other with a chessboard in the middle.

One of them had a bald head, ruddy face, and was white and plump. He wore a loose white cassock. He was none other than Master Changfeng, the abbot of Yunchan Temple.

The person opposite, with a graceful figure and elegant appearance, was none other than Gu Xueting.

A little yellow bird suddenly flew over and spit out a wax ball towards Gu Xueting.

It turns out that this little bird is not a living creature, but a puppet bird, specifically used to deliver messages.

Gu Xueting crushed the wax ball, took out the letter inside, unfolded it, and his breath sank after reading it.

Changfeng threw a salted and crispy peanut into his mouth and glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

"The emperor's eldest grandson is missing." Gu Xueting moved his fingers, and the letter paper turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Chang Feng paused while chewing and said, "This is not good."

He took off the shiny gourd from his waist, threw the chess pieces on the board aside, placed the gourd on top and spun it around vigorously.

The gourd continued to spin due to inertia, and when it finally stopped, the mouth of the gourd was pointing at Gu Xueting.

"Get out of the way." He waved at Gu Xueting.

Gu Xueting moved away, revealing the seven-story pagoda behind him.

"Master, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean? It means that we don't need to look for the emperor's eldest grandson. He will come to us when the time comes. All we have to do is wait."

Gu Xueting seemed to be thinking about something.

"I counted with my fingers and found that someone is looking for you. Let's end our game of chess here today."

Changfeng's body tilted and he lay down sideways, supporting his head with one hand and taking out some peanuts with the other hand, throwing them into his mouth one by one.

Gu Xueting bowed slightly to him and left.

When he returned to his residence, he saw Su Chaiyu sitting on the stone table in the yard, fiddling with a fallen leaf in his hand out of boredom.

"Zhou Zhou, you're finally back." Su Chaiyu heard the noise, jumped off the stone table, and followed him into the house.

Gu Xueting, whose courtesy name is Xingzhou, is usually called by his courtesy name by those close to him. However, Su Chaiyu wanted to give him a cheesy nickname. Gu Xueting tried to correct him many times but to no avail, so he had no choice but to go along with him.

Gu Xueting poured him a cup of tea, "Why are you here?"

"You are not in the capital, I am bored, and I don't want to deal with Pei San, so I can only come to you, and do something for my old man. You don't know how glorious it is after your dragon inner elixir is delivered to the state teacher and Pei San becomes his disciple as he wishes. Your nieces have been overshadowed by her."

Gu Xueting listened without any expression, as if he was listening to the affairs of an unimportant person.

Su Chaiyu took a sip of tea, "I just don't understand. You are obviously not interested in Pei San, so why do you bother to care for her? First you recognized her as your sister, and now you have come all the way here to get the Jiaolong Inner Pill so that she can successfully become the Imperial Master's disciple. This woman is obviously using you, I don't believe you can't see it."

Gu Xueting remained silent on this.

Su Chaiyu suddenly had an idea, "Xingzhou, could it be that she has bewitched you? So you have to obey her?"

Gu Xueting finally looked at him and said, "You think too much."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that woman. Today I went to our Su family's branch in Langcheng and met a woman who came to sell medicine. I always feel that this woman is not simple."

Su Chaiyu took out a bottle of detoxification pills and threw it over, and Gu Xueting caught it accurately.

"This is the detoxification pill she sold to our store. I've tried it, and it can even detoxify the beauty fragrance I just developed. It's even easier to detoxify other poisons on the market. This is quite amazing."

Gu Xueting opened the bottle stopper and a light fragrance emanated from it.

This smell——

"What's her name?"

"Well, I only know her last name is Shen."

"The right side of your face is disfigured?"

"How do you know?" Su Chaiyu was surprised, "Wait, do you know her?"

He suddenly moved closer to Gu Xueting and observed his expression carefully. "This is the first time I see you so attentive to a woman. Could it be - no way, when did your taste become so strong?"

Gu Xueting frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
