After Teacher Hu left, Gu Jiao looked at Mu Qingchen strangely, "What was he about to say?"
"Nothing." Mu Qingchen replied expressionlessly.
Gu Jiao gave him a deep look, "Why are you helping ?"
Mu Qingchen's gaze was indifferent as he replied, "If I don't help you, won’t you expose ? Which do you think sounds better, being known for getting robbed by you or for voluntarily giving you the fish token?"
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and muttered, "True, you n care a lot about face."
It would be too embarrassing if the distinguished Young Master Qingchen was robbed by a new student from a lower state.
Mu Qingchen said coolly, "What are you muttering about?"
Gu Jiao's mood was good, responding, "Nothing, goodbye!"
She went to look for Gu Xiaoshun, and Mu Qingchen also planned to leave. But after just a few steps, the group of officers they had just seen returned, and with them was a man who clearly held so status and position.
This man even ca riding a horse.
He appeared to be in his early thirties. Though he was not wearing armor, he exuded an aura of decisive and lethal authority.
He rode his horse and blocked the path of Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen.
"Young Master Qingchen." He greeted with a cold smile.
His attitude was considerably more arrogant than that of the officers.
Mu Qingchen's expression did not change much, still as serene and peerless as the moon as he greeted "Lord Shao."
Gu Jiao felt an inexplicable tension, as if this Lord Shao and Mu Qingchen were at odds with each other.
The man addressed as Lord Shao sneered and said, "Young Master Qingchen says this person from the State of Zhao is the physician you invited for the Duke. It's not that I don't trust Young Master Qingchen, it's just that this matter is of great importance. Young Master Qingchen is still young, and I'm worried that you might be taken advantage of by soone with ulterior motives."
Mu Qingchen's eyes turned slightly cold, "What does Lord Shao want?"
The man said with a smile, "Isn't he here to treat the Duke's illness? Let him go and treat the Duke then."
Mu Qingchen said calmly, "And if he can’t cure the Duke, Lord Shao will punish both of us for deception?"
The man's smile softened, "Young Master Qingchen, you're being too serious. How could I disrespect Young Master Qingchen? It's this person from the lower state who has intentions of deceiving you. Everything was his own idea and has nothing to do with Young Master Qingchen."
Gu Jiao: Great, while the gods fight, this little devil from the State of Zhao is the one to suffer.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiao boarded Mu Qingchen's carriage.
Actually, Gu Jiao could refuse. It was clear that this surnad Shao had old grudges with Mu Qingchen and wanted to take advantage of the situation. If she didn't go, Mu Qingchen would bear the bla alone.
But she was always clear about grudges and gratitude.
Mu Qingchen casually tossed a prescription to Gu Jiao and said softly, "morize this. When you arrive at the Duke Estate later, just go through the motions. Do you know how to feel the pulse? If not, it's also fine. Just rember to place your fingers on the outer side of the wrist, near the radius bone, with three fingers."
Seeing Gu Jiao's silence after he spoke, he furrowed his brows, "You do know where the radius bone is, right?"
"Mm, I know." Gu Jiao nodded, continuing to examine the prescription in her hand, which contained bezoar, musk, pearl, cinnabar, realgar, coptis...
Mu Qingchen spoke again in a lowered voice, "It's okay if you can't cure it. It won't cost you your life. He's doing this just to verify if you're a real physician and to humiliate . Just act convincingly, and don't let them catch on."
Gu Jiao vaguely murmured an acknowledgnt.
Mu Qingchen thought Gu Jiao was seriously morizing the prescription and didn't disturb her further.
The carriage arrived at the Duke Estate under the "escort" of the man and the officers.
"Young Master Qingchen, we're here." The man approached on horseback.
Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao, "Have you morized it?"
"Mm." Gu Jiao returned the prescription to him.
Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao got off the carriage.
The man had never dismounted when entering the academy, but he imdiately got off the horse upon arriving at the Duke Estate, handing the reins to the nearby officer.
He explained their identity to the gatekeeper, who then went inside to report their arrival. After a mont, the gatekeeper returned and said to them, "Young Master Qingchen, Lord Shao, please co in."
Gu Jiao entered the Duke Estate.
She beca more and more bewildered as she walked.
Why did everything here feel so familiar to her?
Soon, under the guidance of the servant, they arrived at a secluded courtyard.
Gu Jiao blinked.
Wait, wasn't this the courtyard she visited yesterday?
"Young Master Qingchen! Lord Shao!"
Accompanied by a familiar female voice, a lady dressed in elegant purple attire walked over with the support of her personal servant.
Gu Jiao recognized her voice.
Wasn't she the lady from yesterday?
Was she... revisiting the sa place?
"Second Mada." Lord Shao bowed respectfully.
Young Master Qingchen also nodded in acknowledgnt.
Second Mada looked sowhat surprised, "Why are both of you here together?"
The man smiled and explained with a grandiose tone, "Young Master Qingchen has found a physician from the State of Zhao for the Lord Duke. I specially escorted them here to treat Lord Duke's illness."
Second Mada opened her mouth slightly, "Ah... I see."
It was obvious that Second Mada didn't believe he would be so kind-hearted as to escort Mu Qingchen over for this reason.
However, no one would openly expose such a facade.
"Sigh." Second Mada sighed, "To be honest, just now, the disciple of Divine Healer Luo ca to treat Lord Duke. She just finished administering the acupuncture and hasn't left yet; she's gone to prepare dicine for Lord Duke."
The man asked, "Is it the disciple of the top physician in the State of Chen, Luo Feiyang?"
"Yes!" Second Mada affird.
The man glanced aningfully at Mu Qingchen, "The State of Chen is renowned for its dical skills, and Divine Healer Luo is the foremost among them."
Ignoring his provocation, Mu Qingchen asked Second Mada, "Has Lord Duke woken up?"
Second Mada shook her head.
Mu Qingchen turned to Gu Jiao, "You can give it a try; don’t be too pressured."
The man sneered, "Right, even the disciple of Divine Healer Luo is at a loss. How could a little-known physician from the State of Zhao possibly cure the Lord Duke? Young Master Qingchen seems to have gotten carried away from the start."
Gu Jiao looked at him irritably, "So noisy. Are you a bird or sothing?"
The young man choked, “You!"
Gu Jiao entered the room.
Mu Qingchen watched Gu Jiao's back, seemingly sowhat surprised by her reaction, but he didn't say anything and followed her into the room.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becos a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered soone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred tis! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it co with als and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon , alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
