He Yunxiao scratched his head sheepishly when he heard what Qing Yuzi said.
"Daoist Qingyuzi, do you have any other Soul-Devouring Pills? I'll find them for you."
Qingyuzi shook her head.
"You don't need to feel guilty towards me. This pill was stolen by Chu Xiaoxiao, it has nothing to do with you."
He Yunxiao looked at Qing Yuzi seriously and said, "Daoist, you are mistaken. Since I intend to marry Xiaoxiao, I will naturally inherit her karma. Husband and wife are one. What Xiaoxiao stole is what He Yunxiao stole. Please tell me your plan to make amends, and He Yunxiao will definitely find a way to compensate you."
"There is only one Soul-Devouring Pill left. How will you compensate me?"
“I…” He Yunxiao couldn’t speak.
Qing Yuzi didn't want He Yunxiao's compensation. In her eyes, He Yunxiao was still a "child." How could a dignified "senior" ask a "junior" for compensation? Besides, this "junior" hadn't done anything wrong.
But when she remembered that she had very little money left after buying clothes last time, she said, "I need to buy some medicinal herbs today, so you can pay for the money for me."
Silver was nothing to He Yunxiao or any high-level martial artist. With Qing Yuzi's Grandmaster cultivation, securing a guest position at Tingfeng Tower would provide her with more silver than she could ever spend in her lifetime. He roughly guessed Qing Yuzi's thoughts; this kind-hearted Daoist nun probably wanted his help to alleviate his guilt towards her.
He Yunxiao said sincerely, "Let's not even talk about the cost of the medicine this time. I, He Yunxiao, will cover all of your expenses in the secular world from now on."
"There's no need for that," Qingyuzi said calmly.
The Soul-Devouring Pill is a unique treasure in the world, and it's also a powerful tool to help He Yunxiao "resolve the chaotic situation indirectly" and "maintain family harmony." It's worth any price.
This thing not only benefited him, but also indirectly caused Qing Yuzi to stop cultivating. You must know that Qing Yuzi is a master at the pinnacle of martial arts, a Grandmaster. Her cultivation level is worth who knows how much silver.
He Yunxiao cupped his hands to Qing Yuzi and said with utmost sincerity, "I am willing to spend money for you, Daoist Master. Please do not refuse."
The way Qing Yuzi looked at He Yunxiao this time had a strange meaning to it.
Is it something you're willing to do for this cause?
"Whatever you want."
A melodious voice came from behind the white veil. Qing Yuzi gently urged her horse forward, walking ahead of He Yunxiao.
Seeing that Master Bai had left, He Yunxiao quickly spurred his horse to catch up.
...
When Nangong Jin saw Qing Yuzi, he was already numb.
From Chu Xiaoxiao, who was initially by He Yunxiao's side, to Fan Ziruo, Jiang Wuyou, and now Bai Yufei in front of him...
That's all.jpg
He Yunxiao came to Tingfeng Tower, ostensibly to accompany Daoist Qingyuzi to buy medicinal herbs, but having come all this way, he couldn't go back empty-handed, could he? He'd be letting Nangong Jin down if he didn't borrow some money from him.
Having a lot of debt doesn't make you panic; having a lot of lice doesn't make you bite.
At first, He Yunxiao wasn't used to borrowing money, but after borrowing 100,000 taels, he got used to it.
The scale of Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City was actually insufficient to support He Yunxiao's loan of over ten thousand taels of silver. However, Nangong Jin was always very quick to sign IOUs whenever He Yunxiao asked. This made He Yunxiao suspicious of the source of Nangong Jin's money. (Biquge)
But that's easy to guess.
Nangong Jin's Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City couldn't afford that much money, but the main building of Tingfeng Tower in Wei Kingdom wouldn't care about such a small amount. With Tingfeng Tower's information channels, it wouldn't be difficult to find out He Yunxiao's background, connections, and abilities.
Investing a little money in a rising star in the Qi court isn't a bad deal. Especially since the money is a loan, not a gift. That makes it even less of a loss.
...
After borrowing the money, He Yunxiao took Daoist Qingyuzi to buy medicine.
As a "comprehensive shopping mall", Tingfenglou naturally also has a place to sell medicine.
Before the two entered the store, He Yunxiao was leading the Taoist priest around. After entering the store, He Yunxiao acted as the underling, while Qing Yuzi spoke and bought medicine.
Although He Yunxiao didn't understand specific prescriptions or formulas, he did understand some basic pharmacology. Spending every day with Nan Zhu's wife, he was constantly exposed to her teachings, so it would have been difficult for him not to learn them.
Ginseng, deer antler, lingzhi, cordyceps...
He Yunxiao silently helped Qing Yuzi carry the packaged medicinal herbs and discovered that they were all for nourishing the body.
After buying a batch of highly nourishing medicinal herbs, Qing Yuzi began to list a long string of other medicinal herbs.
Polygala tenuifolia, Platycladus orientalis seed, Poria cocos, saffron...
Although He Yunxiao did not know the specific prescription, these medicines seemed to be used to calm the mind and regulate the internal organs.
After getting all the medicine, Qing Yuzi still wasn't going to stop talking...
He Yunxiao became increasingly puzzled as he looked at the medicine Qing Yuzi had bought.
How could Qing Yuzi, a grandmaster and a reclusive expert of the Taixu Sect, be so physically weak?
This is even weaker than a baby's body.
Ruobao prefers quiet and doesn't like to move, so naturally he has little strength. With his slender frame, even lifting a bucket of water is difficult for him. But although Ruobao has little strength, he is relatively healthy.
This Taoist priest... looked completely drained...
He Yunxiao was surprised, but he didn't dare to ask. Who would dare to ask about matters concerning a Grandmaster?
He Yunxiao was carrying two large bags of medicinal herbs in each hand, another two bags tucked under her elbows, and several more bags slung over her shoulder. Only then did Qing Yuzi realize how much she had bought.
"That's enough."
After she finished speaking, she stood quietly, waiting for He Yunxiao to pay.
He Yunxiao naturally paid the money without hesitation.
Then, carrying large and small bags of things, they went to the stables to ride horses.
Seeing that He Yunxiao was carrying so many things at once, Qing Yuzi said, "Give me some."
He Yunxiao quickly dodged, "Daoist Master, I can handle it. I carried much more when Xiaoxiao and I went shopping before."
Qing Yuzi's gaze beneath her veil was quite strange.
Xiaoxiao is your lover, but I'm not...
"Give me some," Qingyuzi said again.
He Yunxiao resolutely refused.
Even setting aside the fact that Master Qingyuzi had shown kindness by giving him the "Soul-Devouring Pill," it wouldn't do to say anything else.
"Master, you are dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura. It wouldn't look good for you to carry these medicinal herbs. Besides, you are an elder, so it's only natural for a junior to help you carry things. With a junior present, how can an elder personally do it?"
Qing Yuzi fell silent. She suddenly felt that He Yunxiao's words seemed to make some sense.
"Do you usually treat Chu Xiaoxiao like this?"
"Um."
"She just let you take it?"
"Um."
"She's not your elder, so why are you helping her?"
"I like it, why else?" He Yunxiao said matter-of-factly.
"Then you..." Qing Yuzi hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
"Then you should keep it safe for me. When we get back, I will teach you the cultivation technique."
"What kind of cultivation technique?"
"The method of dual cultivation."
"Ahem, Daoist Master, I don't need it. This is enough."
As Qingyuzi recalled those sleepless nights, a hint of pink crept onto her pale cheeks.
"You don't need it, but they do."
He Yunxiao: ? ? ?
