Chapter 202 Treating Yunzhu (1/2)

Lin Mengya’s words tugged at Baiji’s heart.

After she continued weeping for a while, Baiji finally calmed down.

“Don’t worry, perhaps Baishao had already made plans for herself. I suppose she would explain the reason to us in the future.”

Lin Mengya comforted Baiji with earnest words as she caressed Baiji on her head.

After Lin Mengya finally managed to comfort Baiji and sent her on her way, Lin Mengya began to look through the medicinal herbs and check if there were properly stored.

“Since you came all the way here, just show yourself instead of hiding on the beams. Aren’t you tired hanging there?” said Lin Mengya calmly with calm on her face.

“How you’ve used bribery! No wonder you’re fit to be the daughter of the Lins, to have employed such brilliant tactic.”

There was a tinge of mockery in the voice. Immediately, a figure floated down before Lin Mengya’s eyes.

“Unless you think I’ve wronged you, Miss Lin?”

It was Yunzhu, whose face was veiled as usual, however, she was no longer cladded in her all-black robe.

A light purple long dress flattered Yunzhu’s alluring figure.

Her bone-deep charm was further enhanced by her maturity.

However, there was a bizarre pattern of flames embroidered on the hem of her skirt and sleeves.

“You’re right, I’m indeed trying to win people’s hearts. I wonder if you would buy it too?”

Lin Mengya was rather used to the way Yunzhu spoke, so she was not bothered by her sarcasm.

“My heart is dead since long ago.”

Yunzhu’s relationship with Baili Rui was after all a thorn in Yunzhu’s heart.

Lin Mengya shook her head and continued to study the medicinal herbs in her hands.

“Master, what do you think of the manner of my dressing?”

Yunzhu stood before Lin Mengya and twirled around.

“Indeed, both the style and the quality look good.”

Yunzhu burst out laughing, turned around and said, “I told you, Qinghu, the owner of this shop is not aware of your intention! Looks like I’m keeping these 100 taels of silver.”

Before she finished her sentence, Qinghu appeared from behind Yunzhu.

Today, Qinghu was dressed in a sky blue long rope.

His long rope, being more tight-fitting than usual, was less graceful-looking, nevertheless, it made Qinghu looked more seasoned.

His handsome face, together with a white jade crown which he rarely wore, enhanced his heroic spirit.

“Am not I exceptionally handsome today, lass?”

The self-important Qinghu struck a few poses, pretending that he was the most handsome man on earth.

“Alright, I’ll give you all the credit you want.”

Lin Mengya gave him a thumbs up lest he continued to bother her for the rest of the day.

She had betrayed her judgement in order to save her ears from being bombarded by Qinghu’s nagging.

“100 taels of silver is nothing, just take it, as long as the lass thinks I’m handsome.”

Qinghu, behaving like a local tyrant, took out 100 taels of silver worth of banknote and passed it to Yunzhu, whose smile could be seen pass her veil.

“Do you really have too much money that you have nowhere to spend?”

Although Lin Mengya was considered a rich lady by now, she was totally against the way Qinghu squandered his money.

“Oh yes, lass, this is the master’s token of decree. Have a look and tell me what you think!”

Qinghu took out a circular token which was engraved with a strange-looking pattern of the flame.

The pattern was exactly the same as that on the hem of Yunzhu’s skirt and sleeves.

The jade was of the highest quality, however, Lin Mengya thought the pattern was bizarre.

“This is foxfire. You’re as sly as a fox, so the pattern of foxfire is most apt.”

He smiled a sly smile. He was not going to tell Lin Mengya that the real reason was so that she would think of him when she saw the pattern of the foxfire.

In this way, this lass would remember him for life.

“Foxfire?” Lin Mengya glanced at the engraved image and indeed a mysterious feeling came to her, yet she thought it would be easy for other people to duplicate the token. She grabbed some paper and brush from the table and scribbled down three characters.

“Here, engrave these three characters onto the token too. Everyone gets one token in the future, but each token would be different from the other. Let’s also register each token, lest someone uses it to confuse others. What do you think?”

Qinghu and Yunzhu both thought it a good idea. Sanjue Hall was supposed to be an organization more mysterious than Peach Blossom Dock.

Otherwise had anyone met with a paparazzi selling secret information on the streets everyday?

Qinghu took the piece of paper from Lin Mengya and a look of surprise appeared on his face. What on earth was this sign?

“Now you can’t tell what it is, right? What I have written down is the abbreviation of my name ‘LMY’. I bet you wouldn’t understand even if I explain it to you now. I’ll find a time to explain it slowly to you.”

Qinghu and Yunzhu nodded in puzzlement as a question mark rose in their mind.

What did ‘abbreviation’ mean?

“Qinghu, can you excuse us for a while, I’d like to have a word with Yunzhu in private.”

Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya with a grieved expression but finally nodded reluctantly,

Ever since she started Sanjue Hall, Lin Mengya had been spending less and less time with Qinghu.

Nevertheless, he would be standing by the gates as if he were some deity guarding the gates.

“Take your veil off. My teacher had taught me how to treat you. Today, I shall use the needle on you for the first time. It might be a little painful, so be prepared.”

Ever since Baili Rui realized that the person whom Lin Mengya wanted to treat was the person he loved, he had gone thoroughly through all the medical books he could get hold of.

He was looking for more effective method of treatment with the minimal side effects.
