Chapter 417 Imitation Jade (1)
Yun Rong walked up to her and smiled gently, "Your Highness, long time no see."
Sang Luo looked up at him. The young man often kept company with herbs, and his body was stained with a faint bitter herbal fragrance...
She had imagined meeting the young Shi Yan, but when this scene really happened, she was still stunned and her heart ached.
Seeing that she was silent, Yun Rong reached out and rubbed her head, smiling dotingly, "Wan'er, what are you staring at? Have you forgotten me after not seeing me for so long?"
"No." Sang Luo forced a smile.
Yun Rong did not accept the princess's courtship, but the relationship between the two was still very good, and they could be considered childhood sweethearts.
"I never knew before that you were Doctor Xiu's direct disciple."
"It happened not long ago. Master Xiu and my father had some friendship. It just so happened that he had recently visited the clan to consult a doctor. My father wanted me to learn some skills from Master Xiu. Master Xiu saw that I had a talent for medicine, so he accepted me as his disciple."
Yun Rong said, looking at Sang Luo with guilt, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to come see you."
Sang Luo shook his head and said, "Brother Rong is the young master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, so it's only natural that he's busy. It's me who disturbed you before and made you unhappy."
"..." Surprise flashed in Yun Rong's eyes, and a decent smile appeared on his handsome face. "It's been a long time since we last met. Wan'er has grown up a lot."
"Haha, no wonder you insisted on coming here when I told you to. So you know Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Well, there's nothing much to introduce between us. We're all family! If you need anything in the future, just come to me." Xiu looked serious and demanding, but unexpectedly, he had a carefree personality. He was very satisfied with his disciple Yun Rong, and directly addressed them as family. He patted their shoulders with his big hands and looked towards the courtyard. "By the way, where is my new disciple? Let me see!"
When Yun Qi walked out.
Xiu and Yun Rong both looked surprised.
Sang Luo took his hand and looked at the two of them, "This is my concubine Yun Qi. Master Xiu, please take good care of me in the future!"
Xiu turned his head and looked at the two brothers, "No...you two..."
Yun Rong came back to his senses and explained, "I forgot to tell Master before I came here that I have a younger brother, who is the concubine in the princess's mansion."
He looked at Sang Luo again, "So the person Wan'er wanted to nominate was Qi'er. You could have sent a message to tell me, and I would have recommended him to Master. Master was almost not prepared to come."
Sang Luo scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I know you were the master's disciple before? If I had known earlier, I would have told you directly. With you as a brother to take care of him, Yun Qi will definitely adapt better."
"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of him."
Yun Qi kept his head down from beginning to end, without saying a word.
Lian Xiu called him several times but there was no response.
Sang Luo nudged him with his elbow and said, "Master Xiu is calling you, stop daydreaming!"
Yun Qi came back to his senses and performed standard etiquette towards Chong Xiu. When his eyes passed by Yun Rong beside him, a deep chill flashed across them.
Yun Rong's smile faded, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Sang Luo and Xiu did not notice the brief confrontation between the two brothers.
After Sang Luo said some polite words, Xiu also agreed to accept Yun Qi as his last disciple and teach him carefully. But before accepting him as a disciple, he also had to test whether this disciple had the talent to study medicine. Otherwise, if he invested his time, effort and resources only to raise a useless person, he would have no place to cry!
Xiu asked some basic pharmacological questions, and Yun Qi answered them fluently.
Xiu Xiqi asked, "Have you read medical books before?"
Sang Luo quickly answered, "Yun Qi is very interested in medicine and reads a lot. He's almost torn all the medical books in the mansion apart with his reading!"
Xiu nodded with relief. "Well, you are a teachable kid! You have quite a talent. You can follow me in the future and help your brother first, and learn some basic pharmacology knowledge."
Sang Luo felt relieved, "Thank you for your cultivation, Master!"
Xiu, "If there's nothing else, pack up and leave tomorrow and follow me back to Huangshan."
Yun Qi was stunned. "...leaving the princess's residence?"
Sang Luo scolded, "Master Xiu travels all over the world to save the dying and the wounded. How could he possibly stay in the Princess's Mansion to teach you? I asked Master to bring you with him to teach you. You better be diligent."
Yun Qi turned his head and looked at her hesitantly, "But Your Highness, I... I want to stay a little longer."
Sang Luo looked at Xiu in embarrassment, "Master, is your journey tight? Do you want to stay in the mansion for a few days to rest before leaving?"
Xiu had lived so long, how could he not see the deep affection between the newlyweds? He smiled heartily and said, "That's fine. You can stay as long as you want. I'm leaving for Daicheng near Huangshan tomorrow, so I'll decline your offer. If your Highness and Xiaoqi have anything to say, please let me know via spiritual communication."
"Thank you very much, Master. We have prepared a meal to welcome you two and have also tidied up your rooms. You two can rest here tonight."
The next morning, Xiu left.
Yun Rong had only come back to visit Princess Ji Wan. Something had happened within the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan that required his presence. He had left early that afternoon.
Before leaving, Yun Rong said goodbye to Sang Luo, but did not leave a word for his younger brother.
The relationship between the two brothers is really not that good...
Yun Qi didn't care about this little episode and continued his daily life as usual. He read medical books in his spare time. When Sang Luo was free, he would come to his room and chat with him.
Sang Luo has always had a question in his mind.
Why is Yan's current name Yun Rong?
She could be sure that the two were the same person - a white fox, skilled in medicine, and with exactly the same appearance, except that Yun Rong looked younger.
"Can you nine-tailed foxes change your names the day after tomorrow?" As far as she knew, the names of orcs all had special meanings and generally would not be changed.
"Why do you ask this, Your Highness?"
"I once knew a nine-tailed fox. His last name wasn't Yun, but a single character."
Yun Qi looked at her with a hint of surprise. "Your Highness, Yun isn't a surname, but a clan name. Every ancient family has its own unique clan name, and every member of the family must have it before their name. If a member of the family doesn't have a clan name before their name, there are only two possibilities: one is that they are not from the ancient beast tribe or their family has been destroyed. The other is that they were expelled from their family or left it on their own accord, severing all ties with it."
Sang Luo looked at him with even more distressed eyes, "So your name is just a random abandoned character after the clan name."
Yun Qi nodded. "This name isn't nice, but it's just a title. After the coming-of-age ceremony, the elders of the clan will give you the official name."
"A name given at a coming-of-age ceremony...wait, you're not an adult yet??"
Yun Qi hurriedly shook his head in denial, "I am an adult! I can get married!"
He explained, "There are many hybrid fox beasts in the tribe, and the age of adulthood varies, so the tribe's formal coming-of-age ceremony will generally be delayed for a while."
"That's good. I thought the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan married an underage fox cub. When will your and your brother's coming-of-age ceremony be held?"
"The end of next month."
