A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 408 Si Yao pleads guilty to her master, Hong Hua wants to turn over a new leaf

"Is this the medicine that Mr. Zisang prepared to delay the onset of the flower bite poison?"

In the quiet tea room, Sanxiu took the white medicine bottle handed over by Si Yao with surprise and asked impatiently.

"Yes, it was handed to me personally by an old uncle who has followed Mr. Zisang for many years, and he told me to take one pill on the first and fifteenth of every month. There should be two years' supply in this pill." Si Yao, who was still standing in front of Sanxiu, nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Sanxiu immediately opened the medicine bottle, poured out a brown pill and brought it to his nose. He smelled it, and several floral scents filled his nose. He nodded in realization and continued, "It is also made from flower medlars, but the medicinal properties of these flower medlars are not strong enough and can only have a temporary effect. It seems that the exotic flowers in the antidote are really hard to find. Even Mr. Zisang couldn't find them all."

“Although the pharmacy already has Lonely Fairy Grass and Iceberg Snow Lotus, these Desert Mulberry and Purple Pig Flower are even harder to find.” Si Yao also frowned and sighed.

"Anyway, the time has come. Isn't Madam Honghua very capable? Just let her figure it out!" Sanxiu muttered disapprovingly, his mind still on the pill in his hand.

"I heard from the prince that although the Shadow Clan promised not to cause trouble at the pharmacy anymore, they may not keep their promise. If Madam Honghua leaves the pharmacy, I'm afraid she will still not be able to escape the clutches of the Shadow Clan." Si Yao continued to worry.

"Prince Zong? That boy is sticking to you again? Didn't your master tell you to ignore him?" Upon hearing his disciple mention Yan Zong, Sanxiu frowned, looked up at Si Yao with an unhappy face and said softly.

Si Yao was helpless and didn't know how to answer his master, so he could only lower his eyes and remain silent.

“But we can’t let them stay in this medicine shop forever, right? Besides, finding these two rare flowers is difficult and dangerous. Only people like them with great skills have a hope of finding them.” Seeing that his disciple lowered his eyes, Sanxiu didn’t dare to say anything more. He could only sigh helplessly and turned the topic back to finding the medicine.

"Speaking of great skills, I think of Xiaolu again." Sanxiu couldn't help but mutter again after he finished speaking, and before Siyao could speak, he hurriedly asked: "Ayao, when did Xiaolu learn this skill? Did you learn it from the master you met while traveling as a doctor?"

As soon as Sanxiu finished speaking, Si Yao knelt down in front of him without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Didn't you kneel down and offer tea just now?" Sanxiu couldn't help but laugh in confusion when he saw it.

"Too many things happened yesterday, and I was not able to tell Master in time. Actually, Xiaolu..." Si Yao was about to say this when she remembered that Xiaolu was injured yesterday while protecting the people in the medicine shop. He was still in bed recovering from his injuries, so how could she report him at this time? Moreover, Master's temper had always been incompatible with the King of the Sect. If he knew that Xiaolu was sent by the King of the Sect, he would definitely be furious.

"Hey, why are you kneeling when talking about Xiaolu?" Si Yao hadn't finished speaking yet, and Sanxiu was naturally still confused.

"I have been practicing medicine outside for more than half a year. I have failed to live up to the master's instructions and done things that go against medical ethics. I hereby apologize to the master." Si Yao didn't know how to find an excuse for Xiaolu, so he simply skipped him and confessed the truth to the master Sanxiu.

"What did you say? You...Ayao, would you do something that goes against medical ethics?" Sanxiu was so frightened when he heard it that he held his breath and the pill in his hand accidentally fell on the tea table and then rolled to the ground.

Seeing his master's face change drastically, Si Yao did not dare to delay and told him everything about how he was forced to poison the Liu family in Xucheng of Jingsong Kingdom when they were threatened and how he made the incense himself in Meilong City and joined forces with Xiaolu to avenge Caiyi.

"What do you think it is? Look how scared your master is!" After listening to what Si Yao said, Sanxiu couldn't help but let out a long sigh and muttered while wiping the sweat from his face.

Although it is indeed against medical ethics for Si Yao, as a doctor, to use the skills he learned to hurt people, after understanding the whole story, he felt that his apprentice did a good job and that this is how one should deal with despicable villains and shameless beasts.

“Master... aren’t you angry?” Si Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her master seemed relieved.

"You didn't hurt any innocent people, so why are you angry?" Sanxiu smiled and glared at his disciple, then stood up and walked to Si Yao to help her up, and continued with a smile: "You have been traveling as a doctor for half a year, and I have been worried about your safety every day. Fortunately, you are back safely. I didn't expect that my good disciple could be chivalrous while curing diseases and saving lives. I am so happy!"

Seeing the dimples on her master's face making him look even more approachable and lovable, Si Yao couldn't help but laugh along with him.

"It is Xiaolu who impressed me. What do you think of that kid..."

"Master, I will send this bottle of medicine directly to Miss Xuanyu."

But then Sanxiu began to stroke his white beard and curiously mentioned Xiaolu. Si Yao became nervous, so he picked up the white bottle on the tea table and left the tea room without waiting for him to finish.

"This child has always been steady. When did he become so impetuous?" Looking at his apprentice leaving in a panic, Sanxiu still stroked his white beard and smiled helplessly.

After Si Yao hurriedly left the tea room, she secretly sighed again. She couldn't help feeling guilty for hiding the truth for Xiao Lu and deceiving her master, but the current situation was not the time to let her master know.

"Your complexion isn't as bad as it was yesterday." In the room, Yan Yu muttered to herself as she sat by the bed, watching Zeng Si, who had just taken the medicine and fell asleep peacefully.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sanxiu gave him an acupuncture and the blood clot has been vomited out. He will be fine now." Honghua, leaning against the door with his arms folded across his chest, also comforted his sister.

"Sister, what should we do now? We can't hide in the pharmacy forever, right?" Yan Yu still had a worried look on her face. She held Zeng Si's hand tightly and sighed.

"Don't think too much. You and Zeng Si stay in the pharmacy. I'll go out and think of a solution." Honghua continued to comfort her sister.

The two rare flowers in the antidote have not been found yet, and Si Yao has not come to look for them since she came back yesterday, so there must be no good news.

If she really couldn't do it, she would have to go out and ask for help from the Shadow Clan. But the Shadow Clan must have held a grudge against them after suffering such a big loss in the medicine store. How could they possibly give out the other half of the antidote? Thinking of this, Honghua didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Right now, the three of you are still thorns in the eyes of Yingmen, so you should all stay in the medicine shop for the time being." Honghua had just finished speaking when Si Yao's cold voice sounded behind her.

"Oh, it's Sister Si Yao. Why aren't the princes here?" Upon hearing the voice, the two sisters turned around and walked out of the room one after another and came in front of Si Yao. Honghua smiled charmingly and joked.

"Sister!" Xuanyu glared at her sister, then smiled at Siyao and said, "Sister has always been unruly, Miss Siyao, please don't mind."

Si Yao naturally didn't take it to heart, she just smiled faintly, then handed the white medicine bottle to Yan Yu and instructed: "This is a medicine that can delay the onset of the flower bite poison. It was prepared by Mr. Zisang himself. Take one pill on the first and fifteenth day of each month. There is about two years' supply in this medicine bottle."

"That means we have two years to find those two rare flowers?" Si Yao's words made the two sisters smile immediately, and Honghua confirmed again with expectant eyes.

"Yes, so you don't have to rush right now..." Si Yao nodded, but before she could finish her words, she was hugged by the ecstatic Hong Hua:

"Thank you, sister Si Yao, you are really our benefactor!"

Honghua said this sincerely, and tears began to flow unconsciously.

"Sister, let go quickly, don't scare Miss Si Yao." Yan Yu, who was also happy at the side, was much calmer. When she saw Si Yao's surprised face when she was hugged by her sister, she hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Honghua let Siyao go after hearing what her sister said, wiped the tears from her face and smiled at her sincerely again: "I'm sorry, sister Siyao, I was so happy that I couldn't help it, but you and Mr. Sanxiu are indeed our great benefactors!"

"If Madam is really grateful to us, please don't use poison to harm innocent people in the future, okay?" Madam Honghua used to look unruly and playful in front of her now. Seeing her crying, Si Yao was a little at a loss. After a moment of silence, she regained her cold expression and spoke to Honghua seriously.

"Okay, okay, since my benefactor has asked me to do so, I will mend my ways." Honghua agreed without hesitation.

But Si Yao and Yan Yu looked at each other at the same time, and it was obvious that they didn't believe it.

After Si Yao left the sisters Yanyu, she came to Xiaolu's room. At this time, Guo Ying was talking to Xiaolu. When they were flirting, they were surprised to see Si Yao coming in. Guo Ying was so scared that she covered her face and ran away.

"Guo Ying, what's wrong? Did you have a fight again?" Si Yao had just come in and didn't feel the affection in the room, so she just thought that the two of them were still quarreling like before.

"No...we are fine, don't worry Sister Siyao." Xiaolu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but stiffen when he saw the worried look on Sister Siyao's face. Yes, he almost forgot that Sister Siyao has always been slow about matters between men and women.

"Is your injury feeling better?" Si Yao sat down in front of Xiaolu with confidence after hearing that. She asked while taking his pulse.

"Yeah, much better." Xiaolu also smiled, but soon lowered his eyes. He guessed why Sister Si Yao came here.

"I have dealt with the Master's side for the time being. You should focus on healing your wounds first. We can talk about this matter later." Si Yao glanced at Xiaolu who looked lonely, and went straight to the point.

"Thank you Sister Siyao..." Xiaolu raised his eyes again in surprise and smiled gratefully.

"Have a good rest and don't worry anymore." Si Yao opened her mouth slightly and seemed to be hesitant to speak for a long time. After saying this, she got up and left.
