Chapter 796 Go if you want to
Master Han asked Huo Xiang to beg him, and he then saved Liu Niang.
As Song Chunxue listened, she felt as if Master Han had been waiting here all along.
That makes sense, though. Doctors don't knock on doors, and medical knowledge isn't easily passed on. If someone asks for help, they won't bear too much karmic burden.
Besides, it would be better for Huo Xiang to owe him a favor than to make things difficult for Liu Niang and her son. Master Han doesn't like to bully orphans and widows.
Song Chunxue may not have understood the intricacies of the matter before, but now she sees it clearly and feels that Master Han's actions were quite appropriate.
While you're at it, you can also test how much sincerity Huoxiang truly has.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ye Hanying's voice was cold and indifferent. "If you want to save me, then save me; if you don't want to save me, then don't. It's your own choice. What does it have to do with me?"
"..." Huo Xiang had no words to express his bitterness. He knew Ying'er's personality. If she hadn't said that, it would have been fine, but since she did, it meant that if he saved her, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
But logically and emotionally, he had already said what he was going to say, so it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch someone die.
He pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Save him, consider it my way of giving that child closure."
Upon receiving the news, Yu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Liu Niang to stop crying, and tightly gripped her clothes.
At this moment, a tall man with a full beard entered from outside, and his eyes were nine-tenths similar to Liu Niang's.
This person must be Liu Niang's father, the leader of the Demon Blade Sect.
He strode quickly towards Master Han.
"Master Taoist, can you really save my daughter's life?"
Master Han took a small step back, disliking the menacing aura emanating from him.
"I don't know what kind of poison she's been given yet, but since Mr. Han has brought it up, I will try my best."
The tall man in front of him had initially bent down slightly, but upon hearing this, he smiled and straightened up.
"Good, good, good, I am very grateful for your kind words, Daoist Master." He raised his hand and said, "Come, everyone, this way please. The wine and dishes have been prepared. You have come from afar, so I will welcome you with a feast."
Master Han did not refuse, "Thank you."
Lord Zhao looked at Song Chunxue and said gently, "Let's go."
In the spacious hall next door, an expensive round table was placed on a gorgeous carpet and was filled with exquisite dishes.
Liu Niang brought her daughter downstairs, and Huo Xiang also pulled Ye Hanying to sit down with her.
Song Chunxue ate her meal quietly and only then learned the real names of Liu Niang and her family.
Her father was Wen Ding, she herself was Wen Liu, and her daughter was Wen Ruyu.
The place was heavily guarded, and the maids and attendants outside were highly skilled, with swords at their waists and dressed simply and neatly in black, gray, and brown, as if they were ready to go into battle at any time.
Only the clothes worn by Durian and her mother were the most flamboyant.
Wen Ding was extremely dissatisfied with Huo Xiang, who had caused his daughter to remain unmarried for life and left his granddaughter without a father, and he almost refused to even look at him.
The carefree, arrogant, and domineering Patchouli, who always manages to strategize and handle situations with ease wherever she goes, is now here, but she doesn't dare to utter a single word.
He felt so frustrated.
"Master Han, I know that since you have promised to save my daughter, you will do your best. But as a father, I am inevitably nervous. What kind of medicine do you need? What do I need to prepare?"
Wen Ding put down his chopsticks and looked at him seriously. "How confident are you?"
He also wanted to ask whether the risk was high and whether there would be any future problems.
Master Han held an exquisite white porcelain bowl, his long, dark hair tied back, and he wore a dark blue veiled hat, dressed like a refined and elegant scholar.
He smiled faintly, "No need. I am skilled in acupuncture and can use silver needles to detoxify her. I will tell you what you need to prepare tomorrow morning. You don't need to be nervous."
Wen Ding chuckled dryly, rubbing his palms against his knees to reduce the sweatiness in his hands.
How could he not be nervous? He only has one daughter, and Yu'er is still so young. Even as a grown man, he couldn't imagine how sad Yu'er would be if she lost her mother.
He was fearless in his life, risking his life countless times, and had walked through the gates of hell. He was not afraid of hardship or death, but he was afraid of any trouble or setbacks his family might encounter.
But just two months ago, Liu Niang was poisoned by someone's scheme, and he consulted many people who were helpless.
"Father, it's alright. I trust Master Han; he's no ordinary Taoist priest. As for the rest, let fate decide. I'm not afraid." Liu Niang put some food on Wen Ding's plate. "Father, eat your food; it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay, you eat too." Wen Ding suppressed his worry and ate a couple of bites.
Afterwards, Liu Niang personally led them to the second floor, the highest floor, and assigned them rooms.
“It’s a rare treat to come all this way, so please settle in here. The scenery here is quite beautiful. I’ll take you there tomorrow; it’s a place that’s hard for ordinary people to find.” Liu Niang smiled at Song Chunxue. “Don’t rush back either. Let your Master Xie wait a few more days.”
Upon being suddenly called out, Song Chunxue's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Thank you for your trouble. Yu'er is calling you. Go ahead and do your work. I'll tell your maids or manager if I need anything." Song Chunxue nodded to her. "Get some rest early tonight and don't think too much."
"Okay, sure."
Yu'er waited downstairs, while Liu Niang quickly went downstairs.
Song Chunxue looked at his senior brother, who was still standing in the corridor waiting for him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Would you like to bring your apprentice along?"
Song Chunxue froze for a moment, her palm growing colder. "What did you see?"
"I didn't see anything, I just wanted your apprentice to get the most accurate information at the right time." Lord Zhao looked in Jincheng's direction. "I'll go with you."
Song Chunxue asked in surprise, "You mean, you'll accompany me to bring Changfeng here?"
"Okay, let's go."
"good!"
She had thought about this problem before, but she soon realized that she didn't know the way, didn't have a map, and couldn't even tell which direction Jincheng was.
With the senior brother leading the way, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
After explaining things to Master Han and the Wu sisters, they boarded Lord Zhao's flying boat and headed to Wuquan Mountain.
They arrived in less than half an hour.
Song Chunxue thought it was very far.
"It was originally quite far. If you were flying on your sword, it would take at least an hour and a half. My flying boat is much faster." Lord Zhao put away his flying boat and casually walked towards the backyard. "Aren't you going to check on Lord Xie?"
Song Chunxue stopped, her expression seemingly asking, "Is it okay?"
Lord Zhao nodded slightly. "We'll set off at dawn tomorrow. Let's go, lest Lord Xie wait anxiously until his neck gets thinner."
Song Chunxue stood on tiptoe. "Senior Brother, please stop teasing me."
"Alright, go ahead, come up the mountain at dawn." As he spoke, Lord Zhao had already gone to the back courtyard.
Song Chunxue was a little uneasy, so she summoned Wuyou and sent her down the mountain.
Wuyou seemed even more anxious than him.
It was the afternoon, around 3:45 PM, and Lord Xie was still on official business at the government office.
When the steward Xie Dong saw Song Chunxue, he immediately sent someone to inform Lord Xie.
Song Chunxue was a little embarrassed. "No need, no need, I'll wait for him to come back."
"Alright, alright. Anyway, all that messy stuff with the government can wait until tomorrow," Xie Dong said with a smile. "Why did you come back alone, Daoist Master?"
