Chapter 94 Is he angry?
"I still don't know how to address this young lady?" Xue Qingchuan looked at Zhai Rongyu gently and asked with a smile.
"Rongyu! My name is Zhai Rongyu!"
Zhai Rongyu immediately gave her name, her eyes fixed on him, afraid of missing any of his reactions.
Jun Ce clenched his fist.
Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Xue Qingchuan was somewhat taken aback. Then, he pulled his fox fur coat tighter around himself, a slight smile appearing on his pale face: "What a lovely name."
He turned to look at Jun Ce.
Jun Ce's eyes darkened, and his voice became low and muffled as he introduced her to Xue Qingchuan: "She is the second young lady of the Minister's mansion."
Xue Qingchuan nodded, and seeing Jun Ce's somewhat jealous expression, she understood. Her eyes filled with tears, and she asked with a smile, "Could it be that the cough remedy was written by this Miss Zhai?"
[A cough remedy?]
Zhai Rongyu was stunned.
I suddenly remembered the prescription I gave Jun Ce at the Bafangke Tea House.
That was just something she wrote casually; it wasn't written with much thought.
Seeing Jun Ce nod, Xue Qingchuan's eyes brightened slightly, and when he looked at Zhai Rongyu again, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"I have some questions about pharmacology that I would like to ask Miss Zhai. Would that be convenient?"
Zhai Rongyu, having been eager for this, immediately stood up.
"Convenient, convenient, of course it's convenient!"
She couldn't wait to spend more time observing this Snow Valley Master to see if he was indeed her senior brother.
With such abundant spiritual energy in Medicine King Valley, how could she not be suspicious?
Jun Ce lowered his eyelashes slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure something. Finally, he stood up and said in a slightly cold voice, "This matter is not urgent."
"Rong'er, come with me to see someone first."
Zhai Rongyu then remembered her important matter, glanced at Jun Ce, and noticed that his expression was not good.
[Oh dear, I was so focused on confirming if Master Xue was indeed my senior brother that I forgot about Brother Huaixu's important matter.]
Is he angry?
Jun Ce paused slightly upon hearing this, his face hardened and restrained. He lowered his eyes and focused his gaze on the jade pendant at his waist, as if searching for some comfort.
Xue Qingchuan was somewhat surprised. He glanced cautiously at Zhai Rongyu, then whispered to Jun Ce, "Have you thought it through?"
"Are you really going to take her?"
Before Jun Ce could answer, several old men entered from outside the door.
"Regent, please reconsider!"
"If you want to take her to see that person, she'll have to get past us first!"
Upon seeing the visitors, Xue Qingchuan introduced them to Zhai Rongyu: "Second Miss Zhai, these are the four elders of our Medicine King Valley: Xing, Lin, Chun, and Man."
The four old men sized up Zhai Rongyu one by one.
“Young lady, you are so young, yet you claim that the cough remedy was written by you. If you cannot prove it to us old men, we cannot believe you.”
The speaker was Elder Man, who was in good spirits, though he walked with a slight limp.
“Exactly,” Elder Chun stroked his white beard and echoed.
That person was of extraordinary status, a secret within Medicine King Valley.
If this young woman cannot prove her medical skills, then seeing her will be useless and will only increase the risk of the information being leaked.
If something really happens, Medicine King Valley can't afford to take that responsibility.
Zhai Rongyu glanced at them and then touched her brow.
Sigh, these days you need a doctor's certificate to see someone.
No job is easy to get by in!
Her gaze was calm and composed as she asked, "How would you gentlemen like to compete?"
Elder Lin, his face glowing with health, said, "I have just developed a medicine that is remarkably effective in treating typhoid fever. If you can figure out the prescription I have prepared, then you have passed my test."
He handed a pill to Zhai Rongyu.
Zhai Rong raised a slender eyebrow, reached out and took it, rubbed it between two fingers, and then held it under her nose to sniff it.
She's an expert at smelling things.
Hmm... cinnamon twigs, peony root, ginger, prepared licorice root, jujubes...
This is a fairly common recipe for Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction).
But within this...
Her brows furrowed slightly, she closed her eyes and took another deep sniff before opening them again with a bright smile, saying, "Elder Lin, you truly have a clever idea."
“In this ordinary Guizhi Tang, the amount of peony and cinnamon twig is reduced, and kudzu root is added instead. In addition to warming the spleen and harmonizing the middle, it also relieves muscle tension, promotes the release of pathogens, and relaxes muscles and tendons.”
"It's really awesome."
Elder Lin's eyes lit up when he saw that she had hit all the nail on the head.
It seems that the cough remedy really was written by her.
He does indeed know some pharmacology.
Seeing that his expression had softened slightly, Zhai Rongyu knew that she had passed his test, but she couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Looks like I'm destined to never shake off this "dog-sniff" nickname.
Why am I not happy at all...?
Elder Man snorted and said, "What depth can you see from something as basic as a prescription?"
"You really are something." He looked at Elder Lin with a hint of reproach. "You're so happy about discovering a new method, is this even worth using as an exam question?"
Zhai Rongyu glanced at Elder Man, then blinked her watery eyes gently. "Elder Man, if I can heal your leg, can I consider myself to have passed the test?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Elder Man's leg ailment was a result of his youth, and despite years of research by so many highly skilled physicians in Medicine King Valley, no progress has been made.
Now that I'm older, there's no medicine left to cure me.
But this girl said, "It can be cured?"
Elder Man's eyes filled with wariness and suspicion. He frowned and said, "Girl, my leg has been untreated for years and is already necrotic. How can you possibly cure it?"
"To dare to speak so arrogantly at such a young age, the younger generation these days really doesn't know anything." Elder Xing squinted and shook her head.
"Whether it can be cured or not, we'll know once we take a look."
"It won't hurt us either way," Zhai Rongyu muttered.
Xue Qingchuan looked at her, a gentle smile appearing between his brows, and said to Elder Man, "In that case, Elder, why don't you let her take a look?"
When the Valley Master speaks, Elder Man naturally obeys.
He nodded and sat down on a nearby chair.
Zhai Rongyu walked up to him, squatted down, rolled up his left trouser leg, carefully examined his leg, and then pressed on a few places.
She hesitated for a moment and then asked the elders, "Do any of you have silver needles?"
"You know acupuncture?" Elder Chun asked in surprise.
He took off his acupuncture bag and handed it to Zhai Rongyu.
Elder Man remained unmoved upon seeing this.
"Elder Chun's acupuncture skills are unparalleled in the Dragon Flame Kingdom. He also treated me, but it didn't have much effect."
Zhai Rongyu ignored him, reached out and took out a silver needle. With a flick of her wrist, a faint trace of spiritual energy condensed on the silver needle. She quickly inserted the silver needle into several acupoints of Elder Man.
She lowered her head, her eyes focused and serious, exuding a captivating charm that surpassed her usual lively and playful demeanor.
Jun Ce stared at her for a long time before awkwardly looking away.
A moment later, Elder Man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg. He was so shocked that he forgot to breathe, and his blood suddenly boiled!
He suddenly looked up and cried out, "My...my leg..."
"My legs are hurting!"
