Ye Qingyun nodded, "He has indeed grown quite a bit taller."
Liu Jiantang stared at Ye Qingyun with a strange expression and said, "I mean, this little girl who used to be so timid in front of us is now able to stand on her own. She seems to have changed quite a bit."
Xiao Yuhan replied, "I'm not entirely sure either, but I had this girl go out with the team to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall for training before. However, I don't think she's changed much; she's still the same obedient and sensible little girl she used to be."
Liu Jiantang frowned more and more deeply, "Did I say that the little girl is disobedient and sensible?"
Xiao Yuhan smiled wryly and said, "Senior brother, with that murderous look in your eyes, whatever you say sounds like it's full of hostility."
Liu Jiantang rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is...is that so? I don't think my eyes have any murderous intent?"
Suddenly, Shen Huairu's angry voice rang out from inside the room: "Chat, chat, chat! What nonsense do you three have to spout?! Hurry up and go find some medicine! Junior Sister is injured like this, and you still have the mind to chat?!"
The three looked at each other in bewilderment, then quickly sprang into action, like a group of children who had made a mistake.
After a long while, the group found the medicines Bai Yao had mentioned and returned to the house. It was almost evening when Bai Yao finally opened the door and looked at them, saying, "Don't worry, everything's alright. Junior Uncle has woken up."
Only then did the group breathe a sigh of relief and go inside to check on the situation.
At this moment, the junior sister had already woken up. Although she still looked a little weak, she seemed to be fine. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, fiddling with silver needles and inserting them into her arm. "The senior brothers are all here. When did Senior Brother Xiao and Yao'er return?"
Xiao Yuhan replied, "I just got back, Junior Sister. What happened to you? Are you feeling better now?"
Nangong Ling'er remained expressionless, forcing a smile, her eyes seemingly tinged with confusion. She gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing. There was a slight mishap while refining the pills. But Yao'er is much better than before. It seems that teaching her medicine on a whim before saved my life. If my senior brothers were to treat me this time, we'd probably only meet again in the next life."
Xiao Yuhan gave a helpless wry smile. He was still very happy that Bai Yao was praised. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Junior Sister, do you really distrust us that much?"
The junior sister continued inserting acupuncture needles while saying, "You guys are all roughnecks. It takes someone with a delicate touch to do something like smoothing out the meridians. Alright, senior brothers and senior sisters, I'm fine now. You don't need to worry. I can handle the rest myself."
Ye Qingyun stepped forward. "Junior sister, you have to tell your senior brothers what happened, right? This kind of thing happened so suddenly and inexplicably, and we brothers are all very worried about you. Besides, what kind of pill are you researching? Why are you so engrossed in it? Look how haggard you look!"
Nangong Ling'er shook her head again, but this time she showed a very happy smile, seemingly as innocent and carefree as ever, "Really, nothing's wrong. I'm the Immortal Healer, what could possibly happen to me? Come on, let's eat at the Lotus Platform later. Junior Sister will treat all the senior brothers and sisters to a good meal!"
Seeing her like this, the others didn't say anything more. After all, when it came to medical skills, their junior sister was the most skilled.
Ye Qingyun said he wouldn't be eating at Lotus Platform today; he had already prepared a welcome meal for Xiao Yuhan and her disciples at the Sect Leader's villa. So his junior sister gestured for them to go ahead, and she would arrive shortly after.
Everyone was heading out when Nangong Ling'er suddenly spoke up, "Senior Brother Xiao, why don't you stay and wait for me? I haven't properly thanked you for helping me find the Azure Water Pearl last time."
Upon hearing this, no one took it seriously and they all went out to head to the sect leader's residence. However, Xiao Yuhan knew that his junior sister had deliberately kept him behind because she wanted to say something private. So, Xiao Yuhan told Bai Yao to go to the sect leader's residence with them first, while he stayed behind alone.
After everyone had left, Xiao Yuhan suddenly asked, "So... Junior Sister, is there something you want to say to me that you specifically asked me to stay behind?"
