Chapter 42: Escape



However, if she showed too much joy, wouldn't that just boost others' morale? So, forgive her for being unkind...

The gift didn't produce the expected effect, but Xiang Yuanqing wasn't annoyed. Instead, he looked at Lin Jinghan inquiringly: "Little girl, you know medicine? Are you dissatisfied with this beauty pill?"

Lin Jinghan shook her head, pretending to take out a bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Xiang Yuanqing. "What you gave me is indeed a good thing, but I also have something that can protect the skin. It can be used by men, women, young and old. You may want to take a look."

This was the first time that someone dared to recommend their own medicine in front of him. Xiang Yuanqing found it very novel. He smiled slightly, took the bottle, opened the lid, took out the paste inside, and studied it carefully.

"Who made this recipe?" Xiang Yuanqing applied the paste in his hand with surprise, felt it carefully for a while, and then looked at Lin Jinghan with a burning gaze, as if he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"I'm alone. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Jinghan asked with clear big eyes, puzzled.

"Do you have a master?" Xiang Yuanqing was overjoyed, his tone tinged with anxiety. This little girl's precision in using medicine and her superb craftsmanship were definitely no worse than any of his Tianji Pavilion disciples! Who could possibly have trained such a gifted apprentice? He absolutely had to learn from her!

"Yes, Jinghan's medical skills were indeed taught by her master." Lin Jinghan said as a matter of course.

It was difficult to keep a lie from being exposed. However, she couldn't tell them that this fairy ointment was developed by her using the medical space. Even if she dared to say it, they wouldn't believe it!

"If this thing is combined with the beauty pill to make a new beauty pill for external application or internal consumption, the efficacy will definitely be taken to a new level." Xiang Yuanqing said with admiration.

You have to know that Xiang Yuanqing and Gu Chuan are not much different in age. He is actually in his 40s now. The reason why he looks so much younger than his actual age is because of his long-term use of beauty pills. This is enough to prove that he cares a lot about his appearance. Now that he has encountered a new anti-aging product that is only stronger than his beauty pills, it must be very attractive to him.

"Jinghan thinks so too! However, the formulas of these two medicines are very different. It is not easy to combine their medicinal effects..." Lin Jinghan sighed slightly, moved the three roasted pheasants away from the fire, picked up one, and began to eat it seriously.

Gu Chuan came over, picked up one, and started eating. "Jinghan, your master was able to train such an excellent doctor like you. I'm really curious about who he is. I just wonder, who has better medical skills, your master or Brother Xiang?"

Is this just a show of gaiety? Where would she find a master? Lin Jinghan's mouth twitched, "Senior Gu, roasted pheasant should be eaten while hot. It won't taste good if it's cold." "You can't stop eating, I won't cook for you anymore!"

"Little girl, this one is for me, right?" Without waiting for Lin Jinghan to answer, Xiang Yuanqing picked up the last roasted pheasant and said as he ate it, "I must meet your master tomorrow."

In order to prevent someone from looking for her master in the future, Lin Jinghan thought about it and decided to cut off the source of the problem.

"Back then, my master suddenly appeared, taught me medical skills, and then left. She also told me not to tell anyone about her and not to identify myself as her disciple to outsiders. Oh, my master..." Lin Jinghan showed a nostalgic expression, looking into the distance, as if she had lost her appetite.

The three of them remained silent. After quickly finishing the roasted pheasant in their hands, Xiang Yuanqing finally remembered the important matter and asked:

"Brother Gu, you called me over so anxiously to help your disciple detoxify him, but why aren't you so anxious now? But, speaking of which, what kind of poison did the King of Jingnan get into that made you so embarrassed as to ask me to detoxify him?"

Gu Chuan almost jumped up and covered Xiang Yuanqing's mouth. He secretly glanced at Lin Jinghan and saw that her expression hadn't changed, as if she was still immersed in her memories. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "It's getting dark now, and there's no rush to detoxify. Let's rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning."

After Lin Jinghan left, he entered Sikong Zhan's tent and carefully used his internal energy to check his disciple. After making sure that the poison was under control, he had the mind to follow Lin Jinghan. Naturally, he was not in a hurry at this moment.

Since his own master was not in a hurry, there was no need for him, the invited doctor, to be anxious. Xiang Yuanqing randomly selected a tree, flew up, and went to sleep peacefully.

Lin Jinghan was no longer calm after hearing the truth. She had finally escaped, but she actually ran into Sikong Zhan's master. But fortunately, this Guchuan probably didn't know her identity yet. She just needed to find a way to get rid of these two people quickly.

So, she tied her horse far away and naturally found a tree to sleep under. At dawn, she got up quietly and left some seasonings on the spot. This was what she promised to Xiang Yuanqing. Then she walked quietly to where the horse was tied, mounted the horse, and galloped a long way in one breath. Seeing that the two people did not catch up, Lin Jinghan was in a good mood and continued to gallop towards her destination.

"Hey, Brother Gu, that little girl ran away, aren't you going to chase her?"

Xiang Yuanqing calmly jumped down from the tree and looked at the direction where Lin Jinghan left: He thought Guchuan followed this girl for other purposes, and thought that he would definitely catch up with her, so he didn't move, for fear of making the girl unhappy and not introducing her master to him in the future. Unexpectedly, Guchuan didn't even move to keep her!

But fortunately, he had a backup plan, so he wasn't afraid of the person running away.

"How can I, a seriously injured man, outrun a four-legged horse?" Furukawa coughed twice and acted weak.

"Besides, we just met by chance, and the girl has been very kind to me. How can I force her to stay? Speaking of which, Lao Xiang, aren't you quite interested in this girl? How can you bear to let her go?"

Guchuan was certain that Yuan Qing had taken a fancy to his disciple's wife, and thought Xiang Yuanqing would go after her, so he wouldn't have to step in and upset his disciple's wife, which would mean no more delicious food for him in the future. He never expected that Xiang Yuanqing would actually watch Lin Jinghan run away!

"Are you injured? Your tricks can only fool the girl. Besides, I never force anyone to do anything. If the girl wants to leave, let her go." Xiang Yuanqing looked at the pheasants on the ground with regret and flew towards Linghe City first. "Let's go and see how your apprentice is doing. I'm really curious about the poison that can intoxicate King Jingnan."
