"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yingxun, wake up!"
Ye Xiruo silently put away the quilt and pillow, slowly shrinking the greenery until it was gone.
Why is there no movement?
"Elders, is there anything I can help you with?" There aren't enough teacups here, so we won't serve tea.
"How are your injuries?"
"I was able to survive thanks to the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill left by my master. It's just a pity that my cultivation, which had just broken through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, is now unstable."
Nobody would believe that. After almost dying, you can now lie comfortably on the greenery and take a nap.
"Senior Brother must have fainted. You know, he was exhausted when he broke the killing formation, and he was seriously injured while protecting me."
The elders also had their own unspoken grievances.
"Young Master, the sudden loss of control of the formation this time was definitely not caused by human factors, but was just an accident. We have already sent people to find out the cause, and we will definitely give you an explanation."
“I naturally do not suspect that the elders intended to harm me, but I also have a hard time explaining this to my master.”
"We will naturally apologize to the Palace Master. It was our Medicine King Valley's failure to take good care of the Young Palace Master and cause him to be in danger."
"Elder, you are too kind. Fortunately, my senior brother and I are out of danger."
What a troublesome brat.
"What's all the noise about?" That was Zishu's voice, filled with anger.
Yingxun pretended to be asleep and casually jumped down from the alchemy cauldron: "Elders, what brings you here?"
"Little Shadow, we only came because we were worried about you. If we had known we would disturb your rest, we wouldn't have come."
"Zishu's injuries are quite serious; he is receiving treatment."
There must be something fishy going on between Yingxun and Zishu, given how Yingxun and Zishu ended up sharing a bed. The elders, their gossip-loving hearts burning, kept glancing back and forth at Yingxun and Zishu.
Zishu put away the Supreme Being, the Jade Table, the Spirit Fruit, and the Spirit Tea, and stood indifferently beside Yingxun.
"How badly were you injured within the past hour?"
"You'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."
"Since everyone is alright, let's go back first!" Zishu's eyes were so terrifying that the elders were silenced before they could even speak.
Regardless of how much of what Ye Xiruo said is true, Medicine King Valley is destined to take the blame, and all the elders are deeply worried.
"This is the Longevity Tree." From afar, the Longevity Tree can block out the sky and sun; up close, it is even more awe-inspiring. Even through the array, one can feel its ancient and weathered aura. Although it is only a sapling of the Longevity Tree, it is still over 100,000 years old.
"This is the Longevity Tree, one of the three sacred trees." The elders felt a sense of pride.
It seems that the founder of Medicine King Valley had keen insight and chose such an auspicious location.
"As expected, it lives up to its reputation." The system was already frantically clamoring in Ye Xiruo's sea of consciousness to smash and loot. Such a large piece of Longevity Wood meant a massive amount of wealth.
"Yingxun, please take our distinguished guests to rest first!"
Zishu's face was really too ugly.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with your complexion?"
"It's nothing."
Watching her senior brother's retreating figure, Ye Xiruo felt a sense of unease. Why was that? Could it be because of Yingxun? Her senior brother and Yingxun had become friends after a fight; she truly envied their revolutionary friendship.
Medicine King Valley expressed its deepest apologies and remorse for the accident. That evening, Yingxun approached Ye Xiruo and conveyed the elders' decision.
"These are two pieces of longevity wood, consider them our apology from Medicine King Valley."
"I can't accept this." Ye Xiruo quickly put away the ring. She had made a huge profit this time. Not only did she get cute pets like the panda and the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, but she also obtained the Longevity Wood. Most importantly, her strength and combat ability had both made a qualitative leap.
"Please thank the elders on my behalf. If you have any requests, please feel free to make them." At worst, she would sell out her senior brother; Ye Xiruo had already made up her mind.
"Junior Sister Ye, now that you've obtained the Longevity Wood, are you still going to stay?" By this afternoon, Ye Xiruo's identity had already spread. This shocked the onlookers of Medicine King Valley, especially the dozen or so people who had bathed in the medicinal spring with Ye Xiruo.
The children are suffering. The two senior brothers and the young master completely overwhelmed them. It's pitiful that they will be disliked by their master when they go back. They can't live like this anymore.
"I'd like to exchange some local specialties here to take back with me."
"There's a market day the day after tomorrow afternoon, we can go check it out together."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Ye Xiruo threw the two pieces of Longevity Wood into her spatial storage, intending to examine them more closely once she returned to the Pill King's Palace.
After a while, Zishu knocked on Ye Xiruo's door, carrying a bottle of spirit wine.
"Senior Brother, what's the matter so late?"
"You received their apology."
"Two sections of the Everlasting Wood, Medicine King Valley is not bad."
“Three sections.” Zishu gestured with his fingers, and Ye Xiruo was immediately bewildered.
"Why?"
"I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, compare to me?"
"Speaking of which, you still haven't told me why you slept with Senior Brother Yingxun. Are you two having an affair?" Ye Xiruo raised an eyebrow.
"Don't talk nonsense." This brat, she always knows how to bring up the most awkward things.
"Oh, you like Senior Brother Yingxun." It must be so. In an instant, Ye Xiruo had already come up with more than five versions in her mind.
In the end, the princes and the eldest brother lived happily ever after.
"I don't know what happened, but I just dragged him over to sleep with me. His bright red blanket was really nice." Zishu said somewhat guiltily.
Ye Xiruo adopted an attitude that everything Ye Xiruo said was true, but he didn't believe a single word Ye Xiruo said, which made Zishu so angry that he almost wanted to punish his master.
"Senior Brother Yingxun is very kind of you to give such a precious spot to you. I wonder how much hatred you have attracted and how much pressure you have been under."
"I owe him this."
"He had already gone out, but he rushed back to save you. Weren't you touched?" Ye Xiru blinked.
"Is that saving me? I don't need his help. He's the one who needs saving you." Zishu sneered.
"Okay, okay, even if he came to rescue me, he didn't stay by my side at all. Instead, he went to your place to be a body pillow, okay?" ╭(╯^╰)╮
"I already said it was an accident, an accident."
"And about these three pieces of the Longevity Wood, they should have been delivered to me, so why did they end up in your hands?" No one would believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
"Why should I? You're only at the Foundation Establishment stage right now, you don't need the Immortal Wood."
"I am the young master, the future divine master! Shouldn't you be trying to curry favor with me?"
“Master, is it too late for me to curry favor with you now?” Zishu sneered.
"Senior Brother, I was just joking, please don't take it seriously." /(tot)/~~
