Mingyue placed one hand on Han Yuxuan's wrist to examine it, her long, thick eyelashes drooping slightly. At Mingyue's instruction, all the curtains blocking the sun in the room were removed, and the warm sun shone on Mingyue as if she were bathed in a soft light.
"It's alright. I'll administer a few acupuncture needles to suppress the poison in his body. However, I advise your sect leader to find those two medicinal herbs as soon as possible within three days."
As she spoke, Mingyue opened the cloth bag, and fine silver needles, as thin as hairs, pierced Han Yuxuan's face, making him look like a hedgehog.
Han Qi wasn't present at the time and didn't know what kind of medicinal herbs they were. Upon hearing this, he repeatedly thanked them, saying, "Yes, I'll send a message by carrier pigeon to urge the sect leader and the others."
After administering the acupuncture, Mingyue withdrew her hand. "I'm hungry. I'll remove the needles after I eat. Make sure no one tampers with them."
"Yes!" Han Qi said solemnly, deciding to take charge personally.
Mingyue led the silent, almost invisible Su Yiren out, then stopped after a long while, "You..."
"What are your orders, benefactor?"
"...Alright, I'll give you a few acupuncture needles too, and get you better quickly so you can leave."
It's awful, I don't want to watch it.
778: This is definitely the female lead that the host dislikes the most, without exception!
"But I haven't learned how to cook yet."
Su Yiren spoke frankly, her gaze sincere.
Even Mingyue was too embarrassed to show her disdain. This female lead, whose mind was only focused on cultivation, was completely ignorant of human relationships. "You don't need to do it."
She had it all planned out: heal the female lead, find Ning Mu, kill the system, and occasionally cause trouble to dissipate Ning Mu's luck—it was perfect.
As for this awful female lead, let her go wherever she wants.
"No, I promised my benefactor, and besides, the snake fruit I gave is not enough to repay the debt."
"Why can't you understand me? Don't you want to cultivate anymore?" Mingyue asked anxiously.
What's the meaning?
He just wants to stay and not leave!
She even got a steamed bun!
"Of course I do. No one accepts a reward without a debt of gratitude, and my master taught me that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."
Okay, okay, you've really stuck with her!
Mingyue understood; this person had come to repay a debt of gratitude!
The Five Tigers Gate's canteen was out of food today, so Mingyue went straight down the mountain and came across a noodle stall. She ordered five bowls of pork trotter noodles.
Su Yiren placed a silver ingot down and asked for a bowl before sitting down next to Mingyue.
"You have a lot of money?"
"They should be considered wealthy."
Su Yiren answered truthfully that her family was in business, and her parents would visit her from time to time, often giving her a large bag of silver. However, she didn't really need to spend much money living in the mountains.
There was so much silver in the courtyard that it was like stones. She really didn't know what to do with it, so she handed it over to her master.
When her parents visited her again later, she refused all of these offers. Unexpectedly, her parents gave her a sign that told her to go to the money exchange if she wanted money.
I've always carried this tag on me and haven't taken it off yet, so I don't know how many there are.
Mingyue smiled kindly. It turned out she wasn't a cook, but a walking ATM. "From now on, you'll follow me. Your food, clothing, and lodging will all depend on your money when we're out and about. I'll treat your injuries."
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
Unexpectedly, money solved the most troublesome problem.
Su Yiren was overjoyed, never expecting that the most useless silver would actually save her life.
After finishing five bowls of braised pork trotter noodles, Mingyue packed two more portions to go, and Su Yiren thought about it and packed one portion as well, just in case she got hungry that night.
After having her needles removed at Han Yuxuan's courtyard, Mingyue returned to the courtyard prepared by Han Qi to rest.
When Mingyue woke up the next day, she saw Han Yuxuan standing in the courtyard as soon as she opened the door. His injuries had not fully healed, and the dark lines on his face were still visible.
