Even through the veil, Su Ruojin could see the mixture of shock, fear, excitement, surprise, and pain in Fu Linglong's eyes.
"Linglong," Ye Xunzhi called softly again.
Unexpectedly, Fu Linglong suddenly turned around and ran into the house. Because she moved so fast, she knocked over a shelf of herbs.
Ye Xunzhi panicked and rushed in without thinking, only to be shut out by the door that Fu Linglong had closed.
Seeing this, Su Ruojin and the others tactfully stepped aside, leaving the two of them alone.
“Aya, do you know the connection between your master and my great master?” Su Ruojin asked.
Aya shook her head. "I've never heard my master mention it."
Judging from this, it must have been something that happened when Master was young.
Before long, Ye Xunzhi came out of the thatched hut looking dejected. Su Ruojin had never seen such a hurt expression on her master's face.
Su Ruojin hurriedly went to greet him, "Master, how is it?"
Ye Xunzhi gently shook his head. "She refuses to see me, saying that if I don't leave, she will kill herself here."
Su Ruojin was at a loss for words. What had her master done to make Senior Fu refuse to see her even at the cost of his life?
"Master, was Senior Fu the one who gave you the method to remove the curse? What happened between you and Senior Fu?"
Ye Xunzhi sighed, "It's her. Now there's no point in hiding it anymore. I've been looking for Linglong for over ten years."
Su Ruojin found it strange. Didn't her master know that Senior Fu was in Xiaoyue and even contact her to find a way to remove the Gu?
It doesn't make sense that we've been searching for over ten years again.
Seeing this, Yanluo wisely pulled Hu Qing and Aya away, leaving only the prince and princess to stay with the master.
Some things from the older generation are not suitable for too many people to know.
Although Su Ruojin had questions in her heart, she did not ask them, but simply waited quietly for her master to speak.
"Xiao Jin knows that I have been learning medicine from my master since I was a child, and I am devoted to the medical profession. I am determined to never marry."
When Su Ruojin was a child, she asked her master why he didn't get married and have children.
Ye Xunzhi replied to her that if he married and had children, he would have more to worry about and would not be able to travel around and explore the world for rare medicines and strange things.
Without finding a miraculous medicine, he could not develop a better prescription, so he preferred to live a solitary life, keeping medicine as his companion.
Ye Xunzhi continued, "More than ten years ago, I was traveling around and came to Xiaoyue to collect herbs in the mountains. I accidentally saw a Huanxin Grass. As soon as I picked it, a woman in her thirties appeared and pointed at me, cursing me. She said that she had been guarding this grass for a month and that I, this shameless scoundrel, had stolen it. She demanded that I return it to her."
I refused, but she said she had waited for a month. Who knows if she was lying to me?
But ever since then, this woman has stayed by my side. Whatever herbs I want to collect, she destroys them.
I never expected that a woman of this age could be so unreasonable, like a young girl.
In the end, we had a fight, and it really proved the saying that you don't know someone until you fight them. After the fight, we actually became friends.
I know she really did guard this place every day for this Illusionary Heart Grass. She happened to leave for a while when I was picking it. Sometimes things in this world are just so coincidental.
I offered her the Illusion Grass, but she refused, saying that perhaps it was all fate, that this grass was destined not to be hers.
To make amends, I started looking for the herbs she needed.
At first, I thought she was a doctor like me, gathering herbs in the mountains. But gradually I discovered that the herbs she was looking for were very strange. Most of them were not medicinal, and many were even poisonous plants.
But she didn't say anything, and I didn't ask.
After this parting, we agreed to come to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs together at the same time next month.
Six months passed like this, and every month we would come to the mountains together to collect herbs.
