It was Li Xiang Jun's voice.
"Please take a seat." Yan Li hurriedly got up and left.
On the way, Li Xiang Jun did not need him to ask. "Just now she said she was hungry, so I bought some roast duck and let her eat it in the room. At the same time, I ordered someone to find a horse breeder. When I returned, she was unconscious and only took a few bites of the duck. I also tried the roast duck. It was not poisonous and her pulse was stable. She seemed to be asleep, but I could not wake her up. "
Arriving at the room, Yan Li entered and saw Fu'er lying on the bed. Sure enough, she was breathing evenly. Rather than being unconscious, it was more accurate to say she was sleeping like a lazy worm.
"Fu'er." He pinched her cheek and called softly. This repeated a few times, but there was no sign of her waking up. After a moment of silence, he said to Li Xiang Jun, "Ask Granny Passion Flower to come. She might know the reason."
Ever since Granny Passion Flower left the Great Desert Plains, the people of Mount Eight Jun had kept her by their side, refusing to let her go no matter what. She felt that she was no longer beautiful and did not want to stay. Later, when she thought that the couple did not have much time left to live, she finally gave up and settled down in the mountain hut.
She was still as eccentric as ever. When she heard the request, she only asked Yan Li to bring her there.
Yan Li let Li Xiang Jun carry Fu'er to a courtyard, where they were led to a room filled with the pungent smell of medicine. Granny Passion Flower was carefully guarding a medicine jar. Hearing the footsteps, she said without turning her head, "I can't treat her strange illness." She had not even looked at it yet.
"How could that be!" Yan Li said carefully. "You are a divine physician. The people of Medicine King Hall may not be able to compare."
"That's not an illness," Granny Passion Flower said impatiently. "How do you want me to treat her?"
"You mean lethargy?" Yan Li asked.
Granny Passion Flower wrapped the jar with a thick cloth and lifted it up to examine the color of the medicine. She then put the lid back on and said to the attendant, "Watch over her. When the fire is hot enough, boil it for another quarter of an hour and send it to Master. Tell him to take it immediately. Only then will it have the effect of smoothing his Qi and stopping his cough."
The attendant respectfully agreed and took her place.
She glanced at the two of them and said, "Come with me."
The two of them entered. It was a simple bedroom without any furnishings. She pointed at the couch. "Put it here."
Li Xiang Jun walked over and gently placed it down. "Granny, what illness does sister Fu 'er have? The first time I saw her, she was just a little girl. Her looks were showing signs of maturing. But now, she has actually grown back. "
"Fu 'Fu's illness." Granny Passion Flower took Fu 'er's pulse and waved her hand. "Her pulse is stable and full of energy. She's healthier than all of you." She then took out a box of silver needles and inserted them into Fu'er's vital acupoints. "The world of cultivators is strange and dazzling. I don't know how to cultivate, so I can't figure out the reason. However, in the past, I once heard a rumor that the people who developed this symptom had their lifespan taken away … Who knows, that lifespan can't be seen or touched. Only powerful cultivators can have it. "There was a hint of envy in his voice.
"Yan Li knew what she meant. Human Immortals were envied by the world for living 180 years. Ordinary people could live to 80 years. Once one reached perfection in the Divine Domain, one would have a lifespan of eight hundred, which could be considered a long life.
"But she's just a little girl. Who would be so cruel to her?" he asked.
"There are many strange things in the world of cultivation. She's just a little girl," Granny Qing Hua said disdainfully. She inserted the last needle.
"Master …" Fu 'er's eyelashes fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes.
Yan Li quickly sat down and said softly, "You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Fu 'er shook her head and said, "I had a strange dream just now."
"A strange dream?" Yan Li asked.
Fu'er pouted as if she felt wronged. However, she still grabbed Yan Li's hand and said, "In that place, there was ice and snow everywhere. I was very scared, so I looked for my master everywhere. Suddenly, I saw my master walking towards me, so I ran to him. However, my master stabbed me with his sword..." Tears rolled down her cheeks as big as beans.
"Silly, why would I stab you with a sword?" Yan Li squatted down and stroked her hair. "And why did it have to be ice and snow? You're always afraid of the cold. This must have been a nightmare."
Granny Passion Flower withdrew her silver needles and made way for him. She sat down on a chair beside her. "Usually, there are premonitions in dreams. You and your servant might become enemies one day. This is very normal."
"Granny, don't talk nonsense. How could Master hurt Little Sister Fu 'er!" Li Xiang Jun was furious. She felt that Granny Qing Hua's mouth could not produce anything decent.
Yan Li knew that Granny Qing Hua's mouth was unforgiving, but her heart was still kind. He agreed with her "depriving Fu 'er of her lifespan". If that was true, then he could find something similar to the "Icy Soul Dew" to alleviate Fu 'er's symptoms.
This was an idea. When he met his aunt, he could discuss it.
"Master, look! Why is there a birthmark on Little Sister Fu 'er's neck?"
Li Xiang Jun suddenly cried out. She was holding Fu 'er's body, so her back was exposed.
Yan Li hurriedly went up to take a look. He saw that there was a strange mark on the back of Fu 'er's neck, like a shining star. His mind shook as Shen Liuyun's words echoed in his mind.
"Great Elder told you to bring her to Bu Luo City to see him when she grows seven stars."
He could not help but frown. What would happen if the seven stars grew?
"Come and see if there's anything else on her body." He did not want to strip the little girl's clothes, so he turned away.
Li Xiang Jun hurriedly checked again. In the end, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Young master, I didn't find anything else.
Yan Li also heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the unknown made one uneasy, not to mention Fu 'er's strange symptoms.
"Master, what's wrong with Fu 'er? Will she die?" Fu 'er put on her clothes again and got off the bed. She came to Yan Li's side, grabbed his hand, and looked up at him.
Her eyes were as clean as a piece of pure white paper.
Yan Li's heart suddenly sank. He looked at her and asked, "Fu 'er, be good. Tell Master, do you still remember what you used to do?"
"Fu 'er, Fu' er has always been with Master …" Fu 'er's eyes widened, and even her tone seemed to change.
Yan Li's heart immediately sank. Could it be that as the symptoms worsened, she would gradually forget everything? Although she was young and did not have much experience, it was still evidence of her existence.
"Go back." He said, then bid farewell to Passion Flower Granny and brought her back to her room.
After talking with her for a while, she appeared to be very sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep. He stood guard by her side.
Li Xiang Jun saw that Yan Li's face was as dark as water, so she sat beside him and gently grabbed his hand. "Master, little sister Fu 'er will definitely get better."
Yan Li patted the back of her hand. "In the past, I did not think much of her, and even thought that she had some ulterior motive for getting close to me. Now, I can't rule it out, but I can't let it go. This little girl makes one's heart ache. I don't know why she has to suffer like this. "
He said with a deep sigh. "I can't let her run around with me anymore. In the future, when I'm not around, you will be in charge of taking care of her. Give her whatever she wants."
"Don't worry, Master. Xiang Jun will not let little sister Fu 'er suffer any grievances." Li Xiang Jun solemnly agreed.
"Alright, let's talk outside. Don't disturb her." Yan Li said, then pulled her hand and walked out.
Li Xiang Jun's face was red. She was a little shy, afraid of being seen by the people in the residence. However, when they were outside, Yan Li let go of her. She was a little disappointed. "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"It's like this." Yan Li smiled at her. "I have already taken the Lulin people under my command. In a few days, a few important members will rush over."
"Really?" Li Xiang Jun's delicate body trembled. She said in disbelief. "How did you do it? It's too magical!"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly in the future." Yan Li pulled her to sit down and said, "When they come, I'll introduce them to you. You have to remember them and observe their hobbies, characteristics, and weaknesses. Yanshan Robber wants to completely control the Jiangbei valley. I don't have the time, so I have to leave it to you."
Li Xiang Jun's heart trembled. She knew that a new test was in front of her. She saw Yan Li's encouraging eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiang Jun will not let you down!"
"You don't have to feel burdened." Yan Li said softly. "Even if you fail, I won't blame you. Just remember, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. Otherwise, my heart will ache."
"Hmm …" Li Xiang Jun's heart was sweet. She suddenly thought of something. She said very nervously, "Master, there's something I've been hiding from you …"
"Tell me." Yan Li said in surprise.
"That, those wooden carvings were actually dug out by me." Li Xiang Jun said timidly.
"Why did you dig them out?" Yan Li said with a faint smile.
"I, I thought …" Li Xiang Jun paused and plucked up her courage. "I thought I couldn't let Master suffer alone, so I dug them out and sent them to Ji Zhiyuan. I wanted her to know what kind of man she missed."
Yan Li's face suddenly became very interesting. "Then you sent them?"
"Yes!" Li Xiang Jun closed her eyes. This matter would be exposed sooner or later. If she talked about it at that time, the possibility of being blamed would be greatly increased.
"She … How did she react?"
She heard that Yan Li's voice seemed to be a little trembling, but he was not angry as she expected. She was relieved and said in a sweet voice, "Master, guess."
"You little devil." Yan Li stared at her and tickled her. "You dare to keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly!"
"I said, I said … Stop tickling me …" Li Xiang Jun finally pressed down on Yan Li's hand with great difficulty. She seemed to be a little proud and said, "Of course she's very happy. She even promised to help save people."
"What did you say?" Yan Li suddenly raised his voice, startling Li Xiang Jun. She carefully repeated it. Yan Li suddenly fiercely kissed her on the cheek. "Xiang Jun baby, you really, you know, you're really great!"
When Li Xiang Jun heard Yan Li call her baby, she was extremely happy. However, when she suddenly thought that it was because of Ji Zhiyuan, she felt very sad. However, she was also happy because she saw the familiar evil smile on Yan Li's face. It was as if she had returned to the past.
Her thoughts at that time were still the same.
