Eleven's face was filled with surprise and he quickly coughed three times towards Doctor Yang.

Don't lose your manners!

Doctor Yang cleared his throat somewhat unnaturally and helped him up.

"You will be my junior fellow apprentice from now on."

He pointed at Xiao Ruyu who was standing beside him, "This is your senior sister."

Eleven quickly saluted Xiao Ruyu.

"Eleven greets Senior Sister."

[Okay, this is awkward. From now on, you can just call me little princess.]

Xiao Ruyu felt uncomfortable all over. She twisted her body and threw herself into Eleven's arms.

[But I can call you Junior Brother. ]

[Junior apprentice brother Eleven, I will give you a welcome gift later.]

Xiao Ruyu was so excited that she hugged Shiyi's neck and gave him a kiss.

【Junior brother, junior brother. 】

Hearing this name, Eleven's body stiffened and he reached out and rubbed her head.

"Little princess, there's no need to be so distant with Eleven."

Xiao Ruyu seemed to have her funny bone touched. She crawled out of his arms and giggled.

…

At night, Xiao Ruyu looked at the sleeping Eleven and kept muttering to herself.

[No, a meeting gift must be given.]

She tossed and turned in bed for a long time, feeling empty and with nothing to give.

Got it! She suddenly had an idea.

After turning and entering the Medicine King Valley, Xiao Ruyu relied on his memory and came to a cave at the foot of the mountain.

It's right here!

She started digging with her bare hands and began searching.

Half an incense stick later, Xiao Ruyu poked his head out from the ground, covered in dust, with a handful of spiritual herbs in his hand.

These magical herbs are different from the others, not only are they all thick and have green leaves.

Looking closely, there is still spiritual energy lingering around.

These are the best elixirs in Yaowang Valley!

Xiao Ruyu dodged and went to find Doctor Yang with the elixir.

[Master, please take a look at these spiritual herbs. Give them to Eleven as a gift.]

Firstly, she wanted to ask if this thing would be too shabby as a gift, and secondly, she was afraid that the excessive effect of the medicine would hurt Eleven.

Doctor Yang twisted the leaves of the magical herb, his eyes shining.

"My little princess, this elixir is good, but..."

He pretended to take the spiritual herb and examine it carefully, but found that Xiao Ruyu was holding it tightly.

After pulling twice without success, Doctor Yang felt a little embarrassed.

“Ahem…”

"With so many spiritual herbs, what's wrong with giving Master a few?"

After saying that, he took advantage of Xiao Ruyu's unpreparedness and reached out to grab a few plants.

Xiao Ruyu had anticipated this and hid his hands behind his back with a smile on his face.

[Master, it’s getting late. I suddenly feel a little sleepy.]

"Tsk tsk tsk, just stick with Eleven and don't even want me as your master anymore."

Doctor Yang came up empty-handed and shook his head repeatedly, pretending to be deeply distressed.

[Oh, I'm so sleepy. Master, you should rest early. I'm leaving first.]

Seeing that he was playing the sympathy card again, Xiao Ruyu quickly slipped away.

"This kid...slow down."

Doctor Yang watched helplessly as her figure gradually disappeared.

…

"Of course, to become a disciple, you have to offer tea and kowtow."

A clear voice sounded from behind, and Eleven's head felt dizzy.

He forced his eyes open and found himself kneeling in front of a big tree.

Doctor Yang?

Eleven's gaze fell on the armchair in front of the tree. Doctor Yang looked a little younger than he is now.

He looked down at his hands and feet, and they had turned into those of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Where is this?!

Why is he here?

Besides, why does this scene seem familiar...

"Little Junior Brother, are you stupid? Kneel down and worship Master."

The girl's voice urged him from behind, her voice unable to conceal the excitement.

Eleven wanted to turn his head to see the source of the sound, but his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't see the woman behind him no matter what.

Doctor Yang was sitting in the front, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Why? You don't want to do that now?"

"Your senior sister begged me to accept you."

Eleven leaned down quickly and spoke uncontrollably.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

He kowtowed three times to Doctor Yang, took the teacup and handed it to him.

Doctor Yang drank it all in one gulp and helped him up.

"From today on, you will be my second disciple."

"Yeah, I have a little junior brother!"

The girl cheered and took his hand, turning around lightly.

Eleven was dragged by her until he was dizzy, and in his confusion he saw the girl's face clearly.

This is exactly how Xiao Ruyu looked in the space!

…

After returning to his room, Doctor Yang was still worried.

He thought it was already midnight, but he tossed and turned and still couldn't fall asleep.

I simply got out of bed, opened the door and stared at the bright moonlight in a daze.

What exactly does Shan Wandong want to do?

Why do these incidents always point to him?

The more Doctor Yang thought about it, the more headache he got. He turned around and prepared to go back to rest.

The next second, a meat ball crashed into his arms.

“Ah—a ghost!”

The meat ball screamed, closed his eyes and hit his chest with his little fists, as if tickling him.

Doctor Yang grabbed her little hand helplessly and spoke softly.

"Where did the ghost come from?"

Huh? Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Xiao Ruyu had just gotten up to go to the bathroom and bumped into someone when she went out unexpectedly.

It was the middle of the night and she couldn't see clearly, so she thought she had seen a ghost.

When he saw Doctor Yang's face clearly, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

[Master, why are you here to scare me in the middle of the night without taking a rest? Are you mad at me for not giving you the elixir today?]

Xiao Ruyu teased him and rubbed her little face against his hand.

"Is the Master such a stingy person?"

Doctor Yang rolled his eyes at her, picked her up, and sighed.

"Master is still upset about what happened today. When I close my eyes, I can only see the miserable conditions of those people."

"Although I've become accustomed to natural disasters these days, I still can't forget them."

Xiao Ruyu hugged his neck tightly and pouted her lips.

[Master, don't be sad. We will catch Shan Wandong sooner or later.]

"Master is just wondering, what exactly does Shan Wandong want to do?"

Doctor Yang's expression turned solemn. He held her body with both hands and lifted her up.

"Ever since Master left the capital, all things point to Shan Wandong."

"Master can't help but suspect that he is playing a bigger game!"

[Master, do you mean that Dan Wandong has a bigger conspiracy? ]

Xiao Ruyu reacted and held him a little tighter with her little hands.

The two men made eye contact and Doctor Yang nodded.

【So what should we do now? 】

[Right now we can't even find any trace of Shan Wandong, not to mention he is in the dark and we are in the light.]

Xiao Ruyu felt a little discouraged. Thinking about how Shan Wandong had run away every time, she couldn't help feeling a little insecure.

She lowered her head and fiddled with the embroidery on Doctor Yang's clothes.

"Since we can't find any trace of Shan Wandong, we can start with others."

There was a shrewd gleam in Doctor Yang's eyes.

[What does Master mean? ]

【Prime Minister Lu?! 】
