When Tao Yi Xuan woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

Although his body was still in pain, he no longer felt his usual inability to move his spirit energy. He immediately inspected his body and, apart from feeling pain, he was back to normal.

This meant that his poison was cured?!

He moved a little and his entire body was wracked with pain. In his mind, he felt like he was feeling worse than when he was poisoned.

He heard people talking outside and let himself sit up slowly. Before he got off the bed, he heard the door open and Sima You Yue’s voice came from the door.

“If I were you, I would lie down and rest. Otherwise, if anything happens later on, there’s no medicine for regret.”

Tao Yi Xuan knew that the condition of his body wasn’t great so he lay down obediently.

“How long was I unconscious?”

“Not that long, just three or four days.” Sima You Yue walked over and took his pulse, “The poison is already cleared.”

“Why was the healing process so painful?” Tao Yi Xuan asked

“Your body was small because of the poison, so after receiving the antidote, you had to grow again. For a small body to become big again will definitely require a process. It’s a good thing you encountered me. Otherwise, you would die from the pain upon receiving the antidote anyway.” Sima You Yue said, “But you were more good looking when you were young.”

“…” Tao Yi Xuan felt like he was being teased, “Are we in Great Master Ji’s courtyard now?”

“Yeah.”

“Does nobody in the clan know?” He asked, worried.

Even if you don’t trust him, you should trust me. I still have to research some poisons with him, so you should rest here properly. You’ll be able to get off the bed in two days.” Sima You Yue took out some pills and forced them into his mouth before turning to leave.

Tao Yi Xuan was vexed, unsure whether or not Sima You Yue was angry or not. He knew as well that had no need to answer this question. If anyone else knew about it, would he have been able to wake up? He was afraid that he would have been killed while he was unconscious.

However, he had asked this inexplicably and made her upset.

Sigh-

Sima You Yue left the room. Actually, she wasn’t angry. However, she felt like there was nothing she had to say to him and she was researching poisons in the courtyard just now. She had only come in because she heard him wake up. Of course she would leave once she settled what she went there for.

“How is he?” Great Master Ji asked.

“Old Ji, your Hundred Flora Worm poison is much more powerful than mine. The process is really more than enough.” Sima You Yue said as she sat beside him.

“You’re the one who’s more powerful than I am.” Great Master JI said, “My poisons definitely wouldn’t work on you, and you’re the one who poisoned me.”

“I just got lucky.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m younger than you, had a disguise and you weren’t familiar with me but I know you. Because of this, there’s no comparison.”

“Enough, we don’t have to flatter each other. Let’s see how to treat the poison that this will create.” Great Master Ji said as he placed a piece of paper in front of her.

These two days, they had been playing around with these things. One person would take out the raw materials for a poison without saying what proportion and refining method it needed. The other would then guess and tell the other what the antidote was.

Most of the time, Great Master JI was the one who would give them and Sima You Yue would guess. Although she wasn’t a hundred percent accurate, she would get it right ninety percent of the time. As for the raw materials that Sima You Yue gave him, Great Master Ji would always have to research it for a period of time.
