For the next few days, Tao Yi Xuan did not come to look for Sima You Yue. However, he sent men to tell her that he would be relatively busy for the next few days and would tell her when to meet once he had settled the issues on his hands.

Sima You Yue did not mind these things and said that she would wait, but she didn’t pay too much attention to it.

During these few days, Han Miao Shuang and the others ran out for a spin. She pulled Jiang Jun Xian and Su Xiao Xiao along with her and would not meet others all day.

They initially wanted to pull Sima You Yue along with them, but she had no interest. She stayed within her house and didn’t head out.

Even after a few days passed, Tao Yi Xuan didn’t come. It was Old Ji who came instead.

Sima You Yue heard the helper say that someone was looking for her. She initially thought that Tao Yi Xuan had come, and was shocked when she saw Great Master Ji instead.

“Old Ji, what are you doing here?”

Great Master Ji looked at her and said animatedly, “That poison, I’ve researched an antidote!”

“For Second Master Tao’s poison?” Sima You Yue asked.

“That’s right! Let me tell you, I…”

“Great Master Ji, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Sima You Yue said.

“What did you ask me?” Great Master Ji looked at her blankly. He really didn’t think that she had asked him anything.

“I said, how did you know I was staying here?” Sima You Yue asked him again.

“Oh, that. I went to visit the Patriarch! He said that you were here so I came.” Great Master Ji said, “He knows that I know you, after all.”

However, since Sima You Yue had interrupted him, he didn’t continue explaining how he found the antidote.

“Let’s go, I just happened to plan to boil some tea. It’s your favourite Da Hong Pao tea.” Sima You Yue invited him.

“Is that so? Then I came at the right time. Go go go, let’s go to your room.” Great Master Ji was excited once he heard about his Da Hong Pao tea.

He happened to drink her Da Hong Pao tea once and fell deeply in love with it. However, Sima You Yue had only made it once or twice within those few days. Although she had given him a few to make on his own, he was unable to produce the same flavour.

Now that he heard that she would be brewing some Da Hong Pao tea, there was no way he would still remember what he came here to flaunt.

Sima You Yue brought him to her room. Great Master Ji saw a few tea brewing equipment placed on the tatami and was just waiting for her to boil some water, and ran over happily.

Sima You Yue came to the other side of the low desk and began to boil water.

“Alright, Old Ji, now you can tell me how you made the antidote. What herbs did you use?”

“Nothing much, actually. I just used…” Great Master Ji listed a pile of herbs but his eyes were glued to the hands Sima You yue used to brew her tea. “Right, I might be leaving.”

“Leaving?” Sima You Yue was rather puzzled, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to remain in the Tao Clan?”

However, Great Master Ji sighed, saying, “There are too many changes in the Tao Clan now. The future of the Tao Clan is unsuitable for me.”

“Is it because of Tao Yi Xuan?”

“Something like that. He’s not like how we see him. He… isn’t simple.”

Sima You Yue could tell that much. That was why she didn’t advise him against it.

Tao Yi Xuan was different from his father. He would not be too courteous to people like Great Master Ji. He would not give Great Master Ji such good benefits and would even find ways to decrease his value.

“It’s good to leave as well. The world is vast and you can’t coop yourself up on this island forever. You have to venture around.” Great Master Ji had a very open view.

This place wouldn’t keep him, so was it his fault for leaving?
