Chapter 142 - Giving the Pills

Seeing Chen Man refuse the pills, Mo Zhu looked up and stuffed the bottle into the woman’s hand. “Auntie, you’re treating me like an outsider by saying this. We’re all family, you don’t have to be so polite to me. Take this medicine first. I’ll refine a few more bottles in a few days!”

Since Mo Zhu had already said so, how could Chen Man reject her? She clenched the bottle of medicine in her hand with tears in her eyes. “Okay, Auntie will accept it first. If Xiao Zhu needs anything, just let me know. I will send it to you.”

Nodding, Mo Zhu smiled. “Then Auntie, please keep an eye on the good herbs in the market for me. My grandmother’s condition hasn’t improved. If we have more good herbs, it might have some use.”

After hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Chen Man was about to agree. However, before she could say anything, Huo Tao, who had been standing quietly at the side, patted her shoulder and said, “I’ll pay more attention to this aspect. If you need any herbs, just let me know. As long as the Huo family has a way, we will definitely buy them.”

Huo Tao had already treated Mo Zhu as one of his own. Putting aside the fact that she had controlled the poison in Huo Xuan’s body, just the fact that she had saved Chen Man’s life was enough to make her a benefactor of the Huo family.

Besides, Mo Zhu had given them such precious pills to protect themselves. She was so generous even when it was a life-saving item. Huo Tao had truly accepted this daughter-in-law of his.

Since they were all family, they didn’t have to be too polite to one another. If Mo Zhu wanted the herbs, he naturally try his best to help her find them!

After saying this, Huo Tao raised his hand to look at his watch. Everyone had been talking for a long time, and it was time to go back and rest. He cleared his throat and looked down at Chen Man. “It’s getting late, let’s not stay here and disturb Xuan’er and Xiao Zhu’s rest.”

Chen Man nodded when she heard this. She shook Mo Zhu’s hand and gave her a few more reminders before following Huo Tao out.

After the two of them left, other than Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu, there was only Xu Huan and Mo Jiu left in the house.

Mo Jiu, who had been sitting in the living room, was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He suddenly understood something and couldn’t help but go to Mo Zhu. “Ms. Mo, please take me as your disciple. I really want to learn medicine from you!”

Looking at Mo Jiu’s serious expression, Mo Zhu couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mo Jiu, I don’t accept disciples. If you want to study medicine, you should find someone else.”

“Ms. Mo, I, I will definitely study hard and not embarrass you. You have to accept me!” Mo Jiu took a step forward and knelt in front of Mo Zhu, his hands grabbing the girl’s pants tightly.

He had decided that no matter the price he had to pay today, he would want Ms. Mo to acknowledge him as her disciple. Besides the divine doctor, there was no one else in the world who had better medical skills than Ms. Mo. Besides that, Ms. Mo and the divine doctor looked like old friends. If he followed her, his future would be limitless!

As he thought this, Mo Jiu stared at Mo Zhu intently, his eyes filled with sincerity.

Seeing that Mo Zhu was unmoved, he shifted his body and looked pleadingly at Huo Xuan, who was standing behind the girl. “Young Master! On the account that I’m devoted to the Huo family, please help me put in a good word for Ms. Mo and ask her to accept me. When I master it, I will definitely not forget your great kindness!”

Huo Xuan shrugged with a helpless expression. “It’s not that I don’t want to speak up for you, but it’s useless even if I do.”

Mo Zhu was getting impatient from Mo Jiu’s grip. She raised her hand to smooth the crease on her pants and said coldly, “I don’t take disciples, nor do I have the hobby and habit of teaching others medicine.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu stood up and ignored everyone else. She walked straight upstairs, and in a few minutes, the door was closed.

Once Mo Zhu left, Huo Xuan didn’t want to talk to Xu Huan and Mo Jiu anymore. After chasing the two of them out with a few words, he stood up and went upstairs to knock on the girl’s door.

Pushing the door open gently, Huo Xuan saw Mo Zhu leaning lazily against the head of the bed, tapping on her phone. He then sat down on the girl’s bed and laid down beside her.

“Why aren’t you resting?” Mo Zhu moved her gaze away from the phone screen and looked at the man lying on her bed curiously.

“I won’t feel at ease sleeping next door.” Huo Xuan’s voice was hoarse, and he sounded like he hadn’t had a good rest.

Mo Zhu put down her phone and lowered her head to look at Huo Xuan. The man’s face was slightly haggard. In this case, he looked more like a patient who was overworked.

“You didn’t rest well the past two days?” Mo Zhu pulled her thin blanket from her side and gently draped it over Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan nodded in agreement. “I’m too worried about you. I only leaned on your bed and rested a while every day.”

The man’s words caused an unknown emotion to surge into Mo Zhu’s heart. So Huo Xuan was so listless because he was worried about her.

“There’s nothing wrong with my body, it’s just that the Seven Star Chain Needle technique had exhausted a lot of my energy. After sleeping for a few days, I’ve already recovered.” Mo Zhu reached out and combed the hair on Huo Xuan’s forehead, her tone becoming rarer and gentler.

After saying this, Mo Zhu gently laid down opposite the man. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and peaceful. No one took the initiative to speak again, and soon, the two of them fell asleep quietly.
