Chapter 1023: Chapter 308: Small Town! The Eccentric! (Part 4)
When the strange figure saw the shopkeeper and the assistant slump dejectedly to the ground, he continued to ask, "If that young lad who can enter Medicine Master Valley agrees to take me along, you wouldn’t refuse, right?"
This strange figure had already confirmed the existence of Medicine Master Valley. He had traveled a long way to seek medical help, and his tone was resolute, with not even a hint of hesitation.
He had made up his mind.
Shopkeeper: "..."
Assistant: "..."
Their faces looked even more troubled. The shopkeeper simply dropped the act and directly said to the stranger, "Alright, since you put it that way, we won’t joke with you. If you can indeed gain the help of that young lad, we truly have nothing more to say."
"But we do have a few things to explain to you. He is our guest, a guest of Medicine Master Valley, so if you intend to harm him—never mind whether he has the capability to counterattack—but attacking our guest..."
"Heh, we won’t turn a blind eye. Perhaps you shouldn’t underestimate me; would the guardian of Medicine Master Valley be so cowardly?"
The shopkeeper had evidently regained his composure, showing no fear of the intimidating appearance of the stranger. In this battle of Divine Souls, the advantage was mine!
The stranger nodded, "I won’t harm someone unwilling to save others, but I can use any means to seek his redemption. And as you said, it will be three days later, so three days later, I’ll come with him. Sorry for the disturbance, you carry on, see you in three days."
The stranger, carrying a coffin on his back, walked away step by step.
The shopkeeper and assistant breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, the oppressive aura of that thing was indeed powerful, almost on par with our own elders. Who knew what that thing was or how it knew about Medicine Master Valley?
Must be purely word of mouth?
Estimated to have asked some big figures if there was a way to save his loved one, and after learning of the presence of a big figure in Medicine Master Valley, he came alone, not knowing any elders of the valley.
"Shopkeeper, the young lad should be fine, right?" the assistant asked worriedly.
"He should be fine."
The shopkeeper said, "Since he can have such a relationship with the thirteenth elder, he should at least be a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage, right? And that strange person seems to also be just at the Nascent Soul Stage. If it really comes to a fight, with our help, he shouldn’t be afraid."
...
"Yin Shuang, let’s try to avoid conflict whenever possible. If I hadn’t stopped you just now, you would’ve pounced on the shopkeeper. While he appears frail, he must be quite powerful to guard the entrance of Medicine Master Valley."
"If you get hurt, I wouldn’t know how to help you. It’s heart-wrenching pain that I can only helplessly witness. Do you think that’s a wise choice? So next time, be more cautious."
"Unless I genuinely get beaten up, or unless I send you out to fight, you need to keep calm, understand?"
After leaving the Medicine Workshop, Yuchi walked along the spacious street. He was like a nagging old mother, grumbling by Yin Shuang’s ear.
Yin Shuang, already squinting her eyes, began to doze off, not listening at all, like a stubborn child ignoring the lectures.
"Hey, you just won’t listen. I’ve told you, when we’re out and about, avoid unnecessary trouble. Our cultivation is for self-preservation. In this big world, how do you know if the person before you is trouble waiting to happen?"
"Not to mention, I have important things to do. If you act on impulse and hurt someone, you might be fine, but I’ll be stuck with the consequences, getting into trouble either way."
"Look more at the beautiful side of this world: the pretty flowers and grass, the lovely fish in the river, and the beautiful young ladies. If you can’t see these things anymore because of fights, it’s truly a regret."
"Don’t fight, don’t fight. Let’s talk about the benefits of kindness and beauty."
Yin Shuang yawned, burrowed her head into her silvery hair, and nestled like a fluffy silver ball in Yuchi’s lapel. Yuchi’s words were like a lullaby; initially full of energy, Yin Shuang began to feel dizzy from Yuchi’s mumbling.
Getting dizzy indeed.
Are you a nanny with so much to say? Should I start calling you Nanny Yuchi?
Yuchi usually doesn’t talk this much. The key is that Yin Shuang is an innocent young girl, a child who needs proper guidance. Otherwise, if she becomes powerful and causes trouble everywhere, he might escape, but she’d still end up regretting it, Yin Xiaoshuang would.
