A clear voice rang out in the lobby, followed by a tall woman dressed in white walking in from outside the door.
She moved with the speed of the wind, her clothes fluttering, as if no one was there, passing through a group of people lying haphazardly on the ground.
With a flick of her sleeve, she stirred up a cloud of white dust, but she remained standing straight as if nothing had happened.
"Bai Xiaojiu? Didn't you go out to gather herbs?"
Looking at the aloof woman in front of him, Qiu Shan couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Bai Yin's granddaughter is much more difficult to deal with than Bai Yin herself. Over the years, she has caused Bai Yin no shortage of trouble. If it weren't for the fact that most of the prescriptions in the pharmacy were in the hands of the grandfather and granddaughter, she would have already...
A ruthless glint flashed in Qiu Shan's eyes.
Noticing Qiu Shan's gaze, Bai Xiaojiu felt a chill in her heart, but a harmless smile appeared on her face.
She greeted Bai Yin first, and then looked at Qiu Shan.
"I returned yesterday, but I have been busy researching new drugs, so I have not shown myself until now. I am sorry to have troubled Elder Qiu with his concern."
"I wonder what brings you here today?" she asked, glancing around with a puzzled look.
"Why did you bring so many people? Are they all injured?"
Seeing her putting on an act, Qiu Shan didn't want to play hide-and-seek with her, so he went straight to the point and told her what had just happened.
"That was truly a misunderstanding."
After listening to her finish speaking, Bai Xiaojiu frowned and said something.
"What do you have to say?" Seeing her like this, Qiu Shan knew she was going to cause trouble again, and his tone was extremely impatient.
Regardless of her patience, Bai Xiaojiu remained calm and unhurried, taking out a folding fan from her waist and waving it in front of her chest.
The powder that had been on her body in the wind just now drifted directly towards Qiu Shan.
Her legs felt a little weak, but the dosage wasn't so high that she couldn't handle it.
"It's only early spring now, the weather is still cool, and young people tend to be hot-tempered, so they should take care of their health. This old man can't handle it!"
After saying that, she naturally took a few steps back.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaojiu consciously put away her fan, since she had already achieved her goal.
"This trip was very fruitful; I found many rare medicinal herbs, which I used to develop new poisons as soon as I returned. Unfortunately..."
She paused here, her gaze falling on the row of shelves.
"Unfortunately, the shelf in my room was too close to that medicine pot. I had been away for many days and hadn't had a proper rest. I was feeling dizzy from studying day and night, and I dozed off and accidentally bumped into it. All the porcelain bottles on it fell into the pot..."
"That was a special drug that Grandpa made just two days ago. The ingredients were very precious. Fortunately, the porcelain bottle was well preserved, so we thought we could take it out, wash it, and use it again."
"But who knew that the medicine was too potent? I washed it several times but the poison wouldn't go away, so I just left it outside."
"This was something I did early this morning. There weren't many people in the hall at the time, and Grandfather didn't know either. I was planning to take a nap before informing everyone. I never expected that the people Elder Qiu brought would get injured. I am truly ashamed!"
As Bai Xiaojiu spoke, he bowed to Qiu Shan with a very sincere expression.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let it go. But Xiao Jiu, please don't be so careless in the future. It's not easy to train the disciples in the Seven Kill Pavilion. If someone is killed, it will be a loss for the Seven Kill Pavilion."
Qiu Shan clenched his fist, unable to utter a word, and could only give a few symbolic reprimands.
"Your Excellency's words are well-deserved." Bai Xiaojiu remained bowing for a while before standing up.
He instructed a few people to carry the person on the ground away for treatment. Bai Xiaojiu stood next to Bai Yin, and Bai Yin suggested seeing the guest off at the opportune moment.
Qiu Shan flicked his sleeves, knowing that with Bai Xiaojiu around, he wouldn't get the medicine no matter what she said today. He turned and left the pharmacy without looking back.
After everyone left, Bai Yin pulled Bai Xiao Jiu into the inner hall.
"Where have you been these past few days? Don't give me that story, I don't believe it."
As soon as Bai Xiaojiu opened her mouth, Bai Yin knew what she wanted and quickly added a sentence.
"Nothing can be hidden from Grandpa."
Bai Xiaojiu chuckled and recounted Ling Feng's recent activities in Tianhe County without missing a single detail.
"What an audacious young man! It's a pity that the other person I tried to arrange a marriage for you didn't want him. If only he were from our family! I really like him!"
Bai Yin clicked her tongue and sighed, but Bai Xiaojiu frowned in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
“I’ve known him since I was a child, but there’s never been any romantic feeling between us. Besides, I already have someone I like now, so please don’t bring this up again, Grandpa.”
When she heard her talk about the man she liked, Bai Yin pouted.
"It's just a one-time meeting, how can you say you like someone? They probably don't even remember what you look like, and you're still stuck here having a crush on them."
"You'll be an adult in a year, and you'll have no choice but to get married then..."
He was about to say something more, but seeing that Bai Xiaojiu looked somewhat sad, he quickly shut his mouth and put on a smile again.
"You're just like your grandma, a hopeless romantic! No wonder you're my granddaughter, Bai Yin, hahaha—"
He chuckled to himself for a while, but when Bai Xiaojiu ignored him, he felt bored. Suddenly remembering what she had mentioned earlier, he quickly leaned his head closer.
"When did you make that medicine? Did you have anyone test it before giving it to him?"
Seeing the startled old man, Bai Xiaojiu calmly took a sip of tea.
“He mentioned this to me two months ago, and I took it to heart. The medicine was only made in the last half month. As for the drug trials... we tested it on a few sheep, and the results were good. As long as they don’t eat too much, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
"sheep?!"
Bai Yin slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"You only tested it on a few sheep? Can sheep be compared to humans? It's not some harmful poison, how could you test it on sheep!"
"What if Ling Feng has health problems after taking it? That's a major issue concerning male fertility, you..."
Seeing that he was about to speak again, Bai Xiaojiu quickly interrupted him.
"That medicine isn't poison, after all. I know how to use it properly. Even if I can't get pregnant, it won't cause any fundamental harm to my body. Please don't worry."
She poured Bai Yin a cup of tea and handed it to her, only speaking again after Bai Yin had calmed down.
“I will personally check his pulse in a couple of days, and I will have time to deal with any issues that may arise.”
"Moreover... Xiaoying said that she ate two medium-sized pregnancy fruits at once that day. Although there is a risk of twins if she eats them like that, there is a high probability that she will get pregnant... As for the delivery, I will go there in person."
