"Are you sure?"
Yan Huailiu felt that his mind was a little confused.
"Junior brother, did you eat something and become confused?"
He asked sincerely, "Little Lightning is only this small, and is completely different from the one you described. It's just a little more mischievous and clever. It shouldn't be the medicine beast you mentioned, right?"
"From the time I picked it up until now, I've never heard it say a word."
Baili Changhuan spread his hands and said, "Please explain how it was able to find the immortal herbs on its own and how it knew the layout of the sect so well. With its short legs, how could it possibly have traveled to so many places in such a short time?"
Yan Huailiu was speechless for a moment, and thought for a long time before speaking hesitantly.
"Who doesn't have a hobby? Maybe it just has a keen sense of smell and thinks it smells good, so..."
He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering something that had happened several times before.
It seems...when he breaks down and gets hurt, Little Lightning always stuffs a bunch of unknown herbs into his mouth.
At those times, his consciousness was not very clear and he never thought deeply about these issues.
"Master said that medicine beasts are born with the ability to identify various medicinal herbs. Their mastery of pharmacology is unmatched, and they are extremely intelligent..."
Baili Changhuan took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it to Yan Huailiu: "Does it look familiar?"
The first thing Yan Huailiu blurted out when he saw it was, "Is this Master's handwriting?"
He had just read the letter left by Jade Purity Immortal not long ago and was deeply impressed by the handwriting.
"Yes, that little thing gave it to me. It's been pestering me to make the elixir above for the past few days. I wanted to take the opportunity to get some information from it, but it ran away."
When Baili Changhuan was mentioned, he was a little angry: "I have the same temper as you, you cross the river and destroy the bridge, you throw it away after you use it."
Yan Huailiu smiled awkwardly: "What kind of prescription is this?"
"I don't know. I've been checking medical books for a long time, but I can't figure it out. Several of the herbs here counteract each other, and they're not usually taken together."
Baili Changhuan turned the prescription towards himself and tilted his head to study it for the umpteenth time.
Yan Huailiu digested his words bit by bit for a long time before he asked cautiously, "Why are you trying to find out Little Lightning's identity? If it's intentionally hiding it, no matter how hard you try, it's useless."
"I haven't noticed it doing anything bad in all this time..."
Baili Changhuan put the prescription away and said, "I have my reasons. Take me to the place where I found it."
"Now?" Yan Huailiu asked back, but he was already preparing to get up.
"Right now." Baili Changhuan put away the prescription, his eyes dejected. "I have something very important to ask it, so I have to find out why it became like this."
Yan Huailiu looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, let's wait for Xingyun to come back and tell him before we leave."
Baili Changhuan, contrary to his usual behavior, did not complain at all and just sat there waiting.
After a few minutes of silence, Yan Huailiu took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Chang Huan, do you like Yuxu Sect?"
"What nonsense you are asking." Baili Changhuan replied unhappily.
Yan Huailiu was not annoyed: "I like it too, so I don't want to see it damaged in any way."
"If one day, I mean if, I am no longer here, or I feel bored and don't want to stay here anymore, can you take my place and guard the Yuxu Sect?"
He remembered the instructions in Jade Purity True Man's letter and gave his junior fellow apprentice a heads-up in advance.
If the original body followed his own will and left without saying a word, he, as his junior brother, would be mentally prepared.
Baili Changhuan didn't curse, nor did he show any signs of anger. He simply asked him calmly, "No matter where you are, you will live well, right?"
Yan Huailiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled so hard that his eyebrows curved: "Yes, I will live well."
Footsteps sounded, and Gu Xingyun came in carrying a few bunches of grapes: "Master, Junior Uncle, I've tasted it, it's not sour. Do you want to eat it now?"
"No, let's talk about it when I come back. Junior brother, do you want to take some food back?" Yan Huailiu asked as he walked, and naturally went over to help Gu Xingyun brush off the dead leaves on his shoulders.
Baili Changhuan refused angrily.
Gu Xingyun put his things down: "Master, are you leaving?"
"I have something to take care of, so I might be back a little late." Yan Huailiu comforted her softly, "If you're tired, go to bed early. Is there anything you need me to bring?"
"No." Gu Xingyun looked at him: "Master, I can already control this demonic energy. No one will discover me. Can I go with you?"
Yan Huailiu immediately looked at Baili Changhuan behind him, who rolled his eyes and silently refused.
"Master, there is a small green bottle next to the bed. It's for Jingming. Can you help me get it? I'm dirty and it's not convenient for me to go over."
Gu Xingyun changed the topic very quickly. Yan Huailiu nodded subconsciously and turned back into the house.
Taking advantage of the time he was away, Gu Xingyun communicated with Baili Changhuan as quickly as possible: "Junior Master, Master can't leave me."
Baili Changhuan looked like he didn't want to listen.
Gu Xingyun glanced into the room and said something in a low voice. Baili Changhuan's expression immediately turned ugly.
When Yan Huailiu came out with the things, the two men were already standing together.
"Is this it? I found it in the drawer."
"Yes, thank you, Master." After taking it, Gu Xingyun took out a hairband and tied it around his eyes. He cleaned the dust off his body and stretched out his hand to Yan Huailiu: "Master, let's go."
"Ah?" Yan Huailiu held his hand with a puzzled look on his face and looked at his junior brother next to him.
Baili Changhuan walked out with his head down, leaving only one sentence: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
Not understanding why he suddenly changed his attitude, Yan Huailiu carefully cast several layers of barriers on his apprentice and took him out.
After bypassing those disciples and finding a way to get rid of Lu Jiu who was tidying up the bookshelves, the three of them stood at the stairs of Canghai Pavilion.
Baili Changhuan looked around and frowned, asking, "Is this where you found it?"
"No." Yan Huailiu raised his hand and pointed above his head, then motioned Baili to see his actions carefully, and then hugged Gu Xingyun, who had been silent all the time, in his arms.
Without any preparation, Baili Changhuan fell miserably.
He stared at Yan Huailiu who was protecting his apprentice tightly with wide eyes, wanting to curse but couldn't find the right words.
I've never seen such a double standard person.
"That's where it came from, if I remember correctly."
Yan Huailiu pointed to a small door not far away, then raised his hand to help Gu Xingyun untie the restraints on his eyes.
"How come I didn't know there was a secret room here?" Baili Changhuan muttered softly and walked towards the direction of his finger.
Gu Xingyun looked around and his eyes fell on an empty bookshelf not far away: "Master, are all the books you brought back recently taken from here?"
