Su Wan had no choice but to say, "You just woke up and haven't eaten anything yet. I'm going out to make you something to eat. I won't leave you."
Afraid that Wei Jingzhuo wouldn't let go, she added at the end, "I'll be back soon."
Wei Jingzhuo wasn't fooled. He still didn't let go of her hand, holding it tightly. His gaze was fixed on her face, and after a long while, he finally uttered two words: "No rush..."
Since she couldn't get away, Su Wan simply told him what had happened outside the tent.
"Bai Zhiyi was outside, she just left," she couldn't help but tease, "Why are you so beautiful? You always attract women wherever you go?"
Wei Jingzhuo didn't have much of an impression of Bai Zhiyi, though he had heard that she was the most beautiful woman in the capital. But since Su Wan mentioned her, he remembered that Su Wan had almost dumped her on him before.
Upon hearing Su Wan mention her again, he suddenly forced a smile, his lips twitching slightly: "Ah Wan... do you care about her?"
Su Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why...why should I care about her? Isn't it because you brought this woman here?"
Wei Jingzhuo looked at her seriously and emphasized again, "It was clearly A-Wan who wanted to keep her."
He had never actively tried to keep any woman, except for Su Wan. If it weren't for the fact that she was still somewhat useful, he would have thrown her out long ago.
Su Wan pouted and snorted.
As for why she kept Bai Zhiyi around, it was mainly out of curiosity. However, after spending some time together and testing her, she had learned that Bai Zhiyi had no medical skills at all, and the powerful medicine she possessed was probably not from her.
She just wanted to get to know the person behind the scenes.
If that person has such amazing medical skills, I really should learn from them.
However, after several attempts to probe, Bai Zhiyi remained tight-lipped, each time refusing his inquiries by claiming that she had accidentally developed the technology.
What Su Wan couldn't understand was that Bai Zhiyi actually dared to impersonate a goddess, thinking that a powerful medicine would make her believe that goddesses really existed in this world.
Anyway, she doesn't believe it.
As for Wei Jingzhuo, she couldn't understand why he hadn't sent Bai Zhiyi away after learning her background. Could it be because this Miss Bai was too beautiful?
She couldn't guess Wei Jingzhuo's thoughts. In fact, Wei Jingzhuo's decision not to send her away had nothing to do with Bai Zhiyi's appearance.
Since that woman dared to privately concoct medicine for a family of divine healers, and so blatantly at that, it was clearly to lure out the true descendants of that family of divine healers.
The emperor of Southern Chu has already sent Chu Yi to Great Jin, and the person he is looking for must be a descendant of a family of divine physicians.
All of this is related to the family of divine healers, and keeping Bai Zhiyi alive is itself a clue that can be investigated.
