Chapter 176: Ruthless Man

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Ye Shuo acted as if it was a matter of course, which made the old man start to wonder.

This change of words is a bit too quick…

The old man has been in the underworld for many years and claims to have seen all kinds of people, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Ye Shuo.

The old man thought that he would make trouble for a while, and even made some preparations.

Seeing that the other party had not spoken, Ye Shuo could not help but urge: “Master, why don’t you speak?”

“Master, please respond.”

Judging from what happened just now, this old man’s eagle is much more reliable than human eyes. If an eagle can be used to find people, it will surely be much more efficient.

The old man’s expression changed several times, and finally, he said: “…You don’t have to change your words so early.”

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Seeing that he was so obedient, the old man became alert.

“My disciple may not be able to like you. When she comes back, it won’t be too late for you to change your mind.”

Oh, it turns out that person is not here.

What is Ye Shuo worried about?

He will take advantage of it first.

“But since I promised the Master, from now on, I belong to the Valley Master.”

The old man narrowed his eyes when he heard this: “Let me make it clear to you, don’t think you can get away with this. I won’t buy it.”

After all, the old man is a man who has experienced many ups and downs, and he is not so easily fooled.

“Since the Master has chosen me, based on the Master’s understanding of his apprentice, I believe that she must like me.”

“In that case, if we really fall in love with each other in the future, Master, if you don’t save me now, wouldn’t it hurt the relationship between me and the young apprentice?”

It’s not hard to guess what parents are thinking. They want to consider every aspect of their children.

In modern times, there are countless parents who know that some of the school rules are unreasonable, but still dare not resist. Isn’t it because they are worried about their children going to school?

After the words fell, the old man couldn’t help but snorted: “You dare!”

It’s hard to say whether one would dare to do it or not.

Just like he said, what if they really fall in love? Although he forced the person to come with his words, the old man also hoped that the two of them could live in harmony.

Ye Shuo looked back with innocent eyes, and their eyes met. Finally, the old man was defeated.

Poor parents in the world…

The old man blew a whistle, and the eagle seemed to have received some instructions. It circled at a low altitude and landed on the old man’s shoulder.

Then the old man seemed to give some instructions, and the eagle, having received the order, quickly flapped its wings and flew away.

In addition to it, there are three other eagles lurking nearby. With these eagles serving as the eyes of Medicine Valley, it is extremely safe.

“So, since you have promised me, don’t even think about running away.” The old man couldn’t help but “remind” him from the side.

Ye Shuo had no intention of running away. With his father and the Seventh Prince injured, where could he run?

“Thank you, Master.” Ye Shuo even expressed his gratitude.

Old man: “…”

“snort!”

About half an hour later, the two arrived outside the Medicine Valley.

Standing halfway up the mountain and looking down, the entire Medicine Valley is surrounded by water on three sides. It looks like a very beautiful place.

“It’s so beautiful…”

Ye Shuo turned around and said, “Master, is this where we are going to live from now on?”

The old man choked and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just carried the seventh prince on his back and walked downstairs.

Ye Shuo didn’t mind seeing this, and was even in the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.

After all, the old man saved him for his body and didn’t want his life. As long as he didn’t kill anyone, everything could be negotiated. There was always a way to solve the problem.

After entering the Medicine Valley, Ye Shuo discovered that there were almost no people inside. There were only a few stone houses, which looked deserted.

Hearing the noise, someone came out quickly.

“I said Huo Tianyi, you——”

The person who came was also an old man. Although he looked a little younger than the one Ye Shuo had met before, he was also in his sixties.

Seeing a stranger appear in the valley, Mei Yingzhuo frowned subconsciously.

However, at this moment, the old man, Huo Tianyi, said: “It’s just right, I was just about to look for you, I just saw a few patients here, come and take a look.”

Having said that, without giving Mei Yingzhuo any chance to object, Huo Tianyi put the Seventh Prince on the bed used to treat patients in Mei Yingzhuo’s home.

Ye Shuo noticed that there were two people tied up on the other two beds in the room, looking in pain and wailing. Ye Shuo’s heart immediately tightened.

I always feel that this place doesn’t seem to be a place where hermits and masters live…

It looks more like a den of thieves.

Medicine Man Valley, Medicine Man Valley, Medicine Man Valley…

Ye Shuo had been in the underworld for two years after all. He carefully recalled the rumours he had heard and finally found a few words in a corner.

Then Ye Shuo found that he seemed to have really entered a den of thieves. Rather than calling it the Medicine Man Valley, it was more like the Evil Man Valley.

Anyway, according to the version Ye Shuo heard, the people living here seemed to be evil monsters who kill people without blinking an eye. No wonder he always felt something was weird.

When Huo Tian saw that his eyes widened when he saw the two people next to him, he finally felt relieved.

“How about it, are you scared?”

“Yes, a little.” Ye Shuo said honestly: “I was a little scared when I first saw them, but after hearing what Master said, I am not afraid anymore.”

After the words fell, Mei Yingzhuo, who was checking the injuries of Emperor Jingwen and the Seventh Prince, was stunned: “Master?”

Mei Yingzhuo was confused: “Don’t we only have Zhi’er as our apprentice?”

When did this old man accept another disciple outside?

When Mei Yingzhuo looked at Huo Tianyi again, his eyes immediately became wrong.

Huo Tianyi couldn’t help but glared at Ye Shuo fiercely: “Don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense, the thing is…”

Soon, Huo Tianyi repeated what happened before: “I thought this boy was very good-looking, so I brought him here. What do you think? Is he much better than Zhi’er’s shitty senior brother?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Mei Yingzhuo first saw Ye Shuo, he thought this boy was too handsome. Then, after hearing Huo Tianyi’s plan, he thought about it and felt that this might really work.

Zhier is already grown up, why is she still dragging her feet and refusing to get married?

“…This kid is quite sensible.” Obviously, Mei Yingzhuo also felt that the attitude of the young man in front of him was too nice and he didn’t seem like a good person.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter how evil this kid is, how can he be worse than them? There is always a way to deal with him.

Since the two lying there were hostages, Mei Yingzhuo’s attitude towards Emperor Jingwen and the Seventh Prince would naturally be slightly better than before.

None of those who can be regarded as big demons are good people. After a few silver needles were applied, the fever of Emperor Jingwen and the seventh prince was immediately improved.

Soon, Mei Yingzhuo stretched out his hand towards Ye Shuo: “Boy, I heard that you are also injured? Give your hand here, let me take a look.”

Ye Shuo did not resist and stretched out his wrist in front of him.

As the saying goes, observation, listening, questioning and palpation are all important. When Mei Yingzhuo probed Ye Shuo’s dantian, his face changed immediately.

Then he looked up at Huo Tianyi. This kid had such a deep inner strength, but Huo Tianyi was not afraid that he would put it into himself in the end?

Don’t let him fail to force it and end up putting himself in it.

Huo Tianyi was not too worried. Although the young man was strong, he was young after all. Besides, he had his father and brother around, so Huo Tianyi was not afraid that he would disobey.

After a moment of silence, Mei Yingzhuo said, “You are seriously injured, and you have been on the road for such a long time. I am afraid you will need to rest for a while.”

Ye Shuo naturally agreed to everything the doctor said.

Soon Mei Yingzhuo began to prescribe medicine and then went to get the medicine.

Not long after, looking at the bowl of black medicine in front of him, Ye Shuo fell into deep thought.

Then he looked up and asked in confusion, “Masters, I think I have been obedient enough. Is there something I haven’t done well enough that you two treat me like this and even tamper with this medicine?”

Huo Tianyi felt extremely uncomfortable with his accusing look and was a little annoyed: “What are you talking about!?”

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at Mei Yingzhuo standing beside him.

Mei Yingzhuo was silent for a moment, then asked, “Do you know medicine?”

Ye Shuo nodded: “I know a thing or two.”

Mei Yingzhuo couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this.

“Hey… I’ll go make you another bowl right away.”

After Mei Yingzhuo left, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but sigh, looking disappointed: “It was a fair trade, but it’s not fair at all.”

No matter how unreasonable Huo Tianyi was, he would never resort to such despicable means. This time he was implicated by the old poisonous man Mei Yingzhuo.

Huo Tianyi suddenly became less tough and couldn’t help but curse the other party in his heart.

What a waste of time! Can this kid still turn the tables in Medicine Man Valley?

And Ye Shuo continued: “Master is like this, I am sure that the disciple is not much better. It’s a pity that I have a clean name, but in the end I have to fall into the hands of a witch…”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Now, more than 20 years have passed, Huo Tianyi doesn’t care what people say about him, but he absolutely cannot accept someone pointing out his apprentice.

“If it weren’t for Zhi’er’s request, do you think you could still stay here now?”

According to Huo Tianyi’s own personality, if the young man in front of him didn’t want to, he would just kidnap him directly. Why would he say so much to him? And he also treated the injuries of his father and brother.

When his father and brother died, and he was injured and couldn’t leave, wouldn’t he still have to compromise? Why would he have to go to so much trouble?

“Also, you are not allowed to call Zhi’er a witch!”

“If you say one more word, be careful or I will chop you to death!”

If these six people were outside, everyone would hate them. But they ended up raising a kind-hearted female apprentice who likes to stand up for the weak.

In this case, Huo Tian and his friends didn’t want her to be tainted by mud because of them.

Ye Shuo heard this and thought: “So, the young apprentice is a good person.”

Ye Shuo pointed at the two people lying on the bed and said, “If the Young apprentice is a good person, how could these two be so miserable? I’m afraid you are not the only one who thinks she is good?”

Seeing the young man in front of him looking suspicious, as if he didn’t believe what he said at all, Huo Tianyi couldn’t help himself.

I believe that when encountering such a thing, there are very few parents in this world who can bear it.

“What do you know? One of them is a rapist who has raped countless girls, and the other is a notorious bandit who has killed countless people. They deserve this fate.”

This old man is overbearing and cold by nature. He can explain so much, so I guess it must be true.

Ye Shuo had a rough idea in his mind.

“Yes, yes, Master is right. It was I who misunderstood.”

Huo Tianyi was satisfied, this was good enough.

When it came to the second bowl of medicine, Mei Yingzhuo didn’t tamper with it after all.

After all, Ye Shuo said he understood a little, but he didn’t know how much he understood. There was a long time to go, so he could just observe and see. It was only the first day, so there was no need to rush.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already early morning.

Huo Tianyi originally wanted to find a place for him to sleep, but Ye Shuo’s words, “I am a married man now. If I don’t get enough rest, it will affect my reputation. What if I offend the young apprentice?” made Huo Tianyi hesitate.

He actually looked down on men who were so delicate, but when he thought about it, his face was indeed important at the moment.

It’s just a room.

Ye Shuo finally got the single room he wished for, and was provided with a set of clean bedding.

“Master, please find a way to buy me a few servants tomorrow.” This house has not been lived in for a long time, and many places need to be cleaned up. Ye Shuo is too lazy to do it, so it would be more convenient to hire someone.

“Since Young apprentice is kind-hearted, that servant cannot be abducted. I just need someone to support me because my family can’t afford food.” Although the silver on Ye Shuo’s body was washed away by the flood, he believed that the old man in front of him should have some.

He really thinks he’s somebody!

Huo Tianyi was about to get angry when he heard Ye Shuo say, “If we don’t clean up this house, Young apprentice won’t be able to look after it when she comes back.”

Huo Tianyi: “…”

What he said seemed to make some sense.

“You’re sensible.” Huo Tianyi was very satisfied with his knowledge and taste, and was even more satisfied that he had already started doing what a husband does before even meeting his disciple.

Huo Tianyi tried to find fault with it, but couldn’t find any, so he left in disappointment.

After he left, Ye Shuo blew out the light, lay down with peace of mind, and had a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, the Seventh Prince woke up first, and Emperor Jingwen did not wake up until the afternoon.

When Emperor Jingwen saw the scene around him, his first reaction was that he must have been rescued, and he was still thanking this family in his heart.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince couldn’t help but remain silent, thinking that it was too early for his father to be happy.

The Seventh Prince immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, pretending he knew nothing.

Upon hearing the news that his cheap father had woken up, Ye Shuo, who was busy cutting new clothes, immediately stopped and walked in.

“Dad, you’re finally awake.”

Emperor Jingwen was lying there. After his mind became a little clearer, he was thinking about how to reward the people here after he recovered.

But Ye Shuo shook his head after hearing his words: “No need, Dad. I have already pledged myself to them. You can live here peacefully. Your son has everything.”

“What?!”

After realising what his son meant, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but almost jumped out of bed.

Emperor Jingwen’s originally relaxed mood suddenly became cloudy.

The second reaction was that this group of people dared to threaten the prince. When he felt better, he would definitely notify the secret guards to kill all of these troublemakers, leaving no one alive!
