"Yang Shaodong, where did you get these slimming pills?"
Second Elder Xuan Ming is one of the most respected elders in Xuanyi Valley, second only to First Elder Xuan Tian in status. He is Han Yichen's mentor and treats him like his own son.
However, Second Master had always lived in seclusion, researching medicinal herbs and studying medicine in Xuanyi Valley. These slimming pills were surprisingly his creation. Could it be that he had left the valley as well?
"It's like this. One time I went to the capital and was having a meal at a restaurant. I saw a white-haired old man who forgot to bring money and was being harassed by the owner. I paid for his meal. Then the white-haired old man insisted on giving me a bottle. I poured it out and saw that it contained three pills.
He said it was called a slimming pill, and it not only helped me lose weight quickly, but it was also harmless and wouldn't rebound. He just said I was a woman, so I could only take three pills. If I took more, I'd lose too much weight and it would affect my fertility.
Yang Kaitai glanced at Hua Qingcheng out of the corner of his eye, and then said, "I didn't believe him at first. After all, how could such a magical thing exist in this world?
It was just that someone in the restaurant had an epileptic seizure and fell to the ground, twitching non-stop. I saw the old man simply give her a few gentle injections, and the seizure stopped immediately.”
"So you believed him and took the pill back?"
"Um."
Yang Kaitai nodded, seemingly recalling the scene at that time, with an expression of admiration on his face.
Hua Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly when she heard this. Although Yang Kaitai was a skilled businessman, he was still a bit naive. What if they teamed up to cheat him? It could only be said that fools have good fortune.
"Is that the old man with silver hair, kind eyes, white clothes, holding a jade flute, and a brown gourd hanging from his waist?"
Han Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the image of his second master Xuanming, with his white hair, youthful face and immortal appearance, appeared in his mind.
"How do you know? Have you seen him too?"
Yang Kaitai was very curious.
Han Yichen's mouth twitched slightly. He had been raised by his second master since he was born. How could he not have seen it?
Yang Kaitai was truly lucky, having his Second Master personally gift him some medicine. You know, these medicines aren't something you can buy with just money. Trading a meal for three slimming pills is practically free money.
"I guess. Don't most hermits have strong personalities?"
"That's true..."
Yang Kaitai nodded.
At about four quarters past three in the evening, after the servant brought back the contract with the official seal from the yamen, Yang Kaitai saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Hua Qingcheng and the others. Hua Qingcheng personally escorted this partner out of the store.
"What's wrong, Saburo?"
After sending Yang Kaitai away, Hua Qingcheng returned to the backyard and came to Han Yichen's room, only to see him standing in front of the window in a daze.
"The white-haired old man that Yang Kaitai mentioned should be my second master."
Han Yichen looked out the window with his charming eyes, his thoughts drifting. He didn't know why his second master suddenly left the valley, and where he was now.
"Second Master?"
This was the first time Hua Qingcheng heard Han Yichen mention the people and events before he came to the Hua family.
Two years ago, when the original owner went up the mountain to catch rabbits, he met the injured Han Yichen and picked him up as his third husband.
However, the memories left by the original owner were very confusing and vague. She only roughly knew what happened, and there were many specific details that Hua Qingcheng was completely unaware of. She knew nothing about the life stories of the husbands that the original owner had picked up.
"I... don't have a father. My mother abandoned me after giving birth to me..."
Han Yichen turned around and looked at Hua Qingcheng, but the light in his eyes had dimmed a lot.
Hua Qingcheng remembered that she once saw Han Yichen crying and distraught at night. Could it be because of his mother?
"Since that woman has cruelly abandoned you, you should stop being sad because of her. You have me now, as well as Li Ge, Er Lang, and Xiao Tian."
Han Yichen looked so pitiful like this, Hua Qingcheng immediately stepped forward and hugged Han Yichen tightly.
"Well, you're right. I have four masters, and now there's you, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Xiaotian. I'm no longer alone."
Han Yichen leaned his head lightly on Hua Qingcheng's shoulder, his eyes moist.
"When I was born, that woman threw me into Xuanyi Valley. My second master raised me single-handedly. To me, he is not only my master, but also more like my father."
"Xuanyi Valley?"
Hua Qingcheng was astonished. She had just heard Yang Kaitai talk about how mysterious this Xuanyi Valley was, but now she had learned that her charming third husband was actually from Xuanyi Valley. No wonder he had such amazing medical skills and could make all sorts of strange medicines.
"Well, I grew up in Xuanyi Valley. My first master, second master, third master, and fourth master are all elders of Xuanyi Valley. They taught me to read and write since I was three years old. At the age of five, I started to identify herbs and learn medicine."
"You have a great talent for medicine and a good teacher to guide you. No wonder you are such a good doctor! I didn't expect that you are not that old, Sanlang, but you have already studied medicine for twelve years."
Hua Qingcheng sincerely admired the young man in front of her.
"Of course, my masters all said the same thing."
Han Yichen curled the corners of his lips slightly and turned his head to the side proudly.
"Sanlang, why did you leave Xuanyi Valley?"
Hua Qingcheng released her restraints on Han Yichen and looked at him with a distressed look on her face.
"I... was born without a father, and my mother... that woman didn't want me either. Even though I have the love of four masters,... sometimes I also want to know who I am."
