Chapter 240: Suddenly, I miss you so much

When she’d parted ways with Long Feiye at the inn, he said he’d be in Medical City the whole time. Han Yunxi could admit to herself that she’d thought of Long Feiye first to help. It’d be completely justified, but she’d quickly rejected the idea. She knew that Long Feiye was here at Medical City for the sake of its Poison Sect’s poison storage warehouse. Even though he’d saved her from Jun Yixie’s hands, he hadn’t revealed his identity. It was likely that he was very busy and didn’t want to get involved in too many problems. Moreover, finding Gu Qishao to help her took care of Luo Zuishan as well, so it was the most fitting choice.

“It’s a secret, don’t tell him,” Han Yunxi replied in a joking tone.

“It’s much easier for him to find Jun Yixie than me. You’re not asking him for help?” Gu Qishao probed.

Han Yunxi still avoided a direct answer, but grinned and said, “You come whenever I call, whereas he…I don’t even know where to find him.” Even if he was in Medical City the whole time, she really had no idea where to find him or which person could contact him. She was always finding out how little she really knew about that man in the most unexpected of times. Maybe that’s why some people felt far away even when they were right by your side.

Come whenever he was called?

Gu Qishao rubbed his chin, pondering over the words with interest. He was not only not angry, but chuckling when he replied, “I like the sound of those words!”

All laughter aside, Gu Qishao really was reliable when it came to helping Han Yunxi. He poked Han Yunxi’s chest with his finger and said seriously, “I can help you find Jun Yixie, but he’s tried to kidnap you again and again. Now you’re delivering yourself to him, you…”

Back at the Celestial Fragrance Tea Plantation, Gu Qishao and Jun Yixie had fought each other. He didn’t have 100 percent confidence that he could fully protect Han Yunxi.

“Naturally, I have a way to deal with him. As long as you go with me, it’ll be fine,” Han Yunxi turned serious. Though meeting with Jun Yixie seems like an absurd, stupid idea, the situation demanded her to place her hopes on him in order to cure Long Tianmo’s poison.

“What kind of idea, tell me,” Gu Qishao asked curiously.

“What, you’re afraid of him too?” Han Yunxi grinned.

Gu Qishao snorted contemptuously and gave up questioning her altogether. “Just wait, I’ll have news by tomorrow morning!” So speaking, he was about to leave when he doubled back by the door, a mysterious expression on his face. “Poison lass, it was Long Feiye who saved you, right?”

Very good, Long Feiye came to Medical City as well!

He, Gu Qishao, didn’t have any particular favorite hobbies in this life beyond holding a grudge. Long Feiye had closed down his teashop and teahouse. There was also that time at Medicine City he needed payback for! Wasn’t this the perfect chance for revenge? Medical City wasn’t Long Feiye’s turf, so this time he definitely had to return the compliment to him. Of course, things like vengeance had to wait until after Long Tianmo’s business was finished up. There was plenty of time to study it then!

This had to be the first time Gu Qishao was so happy to leave Han Yunxi of his own will. He was in such a good mood that he didn’t say much, only grin and turn around when he was at the door. “Poison lass, see you tomorrow!”

Creak…

Once the doors closed, silence descended upon the dark night. Long Feiye had his arms crossed behind his head as he lied on Han Yunxi’s roof, staring at the vast expanse of stars above him. Those dark black eyes seemed to gaze deeper and deeper, making it harder for anyone to describe his thoughts.

He didn’t sleep the entire night.

When it was just approaching daybreak, Tang Li arrived.

“So you really were here!” Tang Li couldn’t believe it. He’d searched for Long Feiye one day and one night before running out of options and coming to try his luck at Han Yunxi’s place. There were lots of things they had to do during this trip to Medical City, but this guy could actually stand guard here instead. So much for being at Medical City the whole time; this guy was actually by Han Yunxi’s side the whole time, all right?!

Long Feiye still seemed lost in thought until Tang Li appeared. He quickly recovered his senses and asked, “Have the people from Medicine City arrived?”

“We’re only missing the Mu Clan, but they should arrive within these two days. I heard this time that the Mu Clan’s brought over a very important medicine,” Tang Li said honestly.

Though the medical academy’s Poison Sect had been eliminated for years now, there were still traces of them remaining. Imprisoned in the forbidden area of the Poison Sect was a frightful poison beast called the Gu Shu1 that no one had been able to kill for hundreds of years. Cloud Realm Medical Academy could only join hands with Medicine City to create a medicine to put it to sleep every five years. Legends had it that this poison beast was the most extraordinary artifact of the Poison Sect. Not only could it distinguish between hundreds of poisons, it could eat them all too. Moreover, its blood could cure hundreds of different toxins. But the most frightening thing about it was that its body was also hypertoxic. One bite from the creature was equivalent to being poisoned with hundreds of different poisons. If that happened, even the gods wouldn’t be able to save you.

The Poison Sect had been destroyed, but its poison beast had become something that everyone in the world fought over. Every time the Gu Shu woke up, the peaceful Medical City had to secretly assemble all sorts of powers together to deal with it.

“Who’s delivering the medicine from the Mu Clean?” Long Feiye asked again.

“Mu Linger!” Tang Li seemed excited by the fact.

“That genius pharmacist?” Long Feiye had already heard Tang Li bring up this name multiple times. That innately gifted girl was praised this year as Medicine City’s most talented pharmacist. Supposedly, she was the undisputed heiress to succeed the position as Mu Clan head. Naturally, Medicine City’s three great clans weren’t just simply sending over medicine, but combining them as well to boil and create a medicine together to something to deal with the poison beast. If the Mu Clan could let Mu Linger come this time, then it meant this girl had enough skills to shoulder the responsibility by herself.

“Just wait, there’ll definitely be show worth watching this time!” Tang Li was very convinced. This time, the medicine from the Mu Clan was very important, which meant its pharmacist had to shoulder a large part of the responsibility. He was looking forward to Mu Linger’s performance. Long Feiye glanced at him, clearly uninterested. Tang Li assumed he’d leave then and there, but Long Feiye only sat in place, unmoving.
