Chapter 1032: Chapter 310: Who Is He
Sun Miaoxing was stunned! He was truly stunned!
Then it was Yuchi’s turn to feel a bit awkward. Walking along the field path, he winked at a female apprentice who shyly lowered her head to arrange medicinal herbs, and said, "It’s like this, when Qin Miaoyu first joined my sect, she didn’t mention anything about her sister. However, a few months after joining, she suddenly brought it up."
"She wanted me to go to the State Capital to find her sister. So, of course, I went, because it was Qin Miaoyu who invited Qin Lanyu to join my sect, and without hesitation, Qin Lanyu came over. Now, the two sisters are studying medicinal herbs at my sect."
"Of course, I’m not trying to brag or anything here. I’m just sharing my good news with you, Sun Miaoxing senior, to share the joy, eh!"
Yuchi scratched his head: "Hahaha... hahaha."
Sun Miaoxing: "..."
Yuchi said this deliberately, with a simple reason—to lower Sun Miaoxing’s stance a little.
After all, this is someone else’s turf, and if one shows too much weakness, that’s not good. Talking about Qin Lanyu and Qin Miaoyu was to stabilize Sun Miaoxing’s mindset a bit, because ever since meeting this old fellow, his words have been filled with a kind of smugness, and even an attitude of disbelief that Yuchi would come to seek his help.
Could Sun Miaoxing not understand Yuchi’s intention here?
He took a deep breath, filled with a wry smile, and upon confirming Yuchi wasn’t joking after looking at the young man beside him with a warm smile, he couldn’t help but ask:
"You rascal, you truly are a rascal!"
"Are you saying you also managed to woo Qin Lanyu away? I tried to invite her to our Medicine Master Valley last time but didn’t succeed. Yet you not only managed to woo her sister but also her?"
Sun Miaoxing wasn’t joking.
He truly wanted to persuade Qin Lanyu to come to Medicine Master Valley, as she has a unique perception of medicinal herbs.
It’s destined by the heavens, so Medicine Master Valley said if she chooses to come, she could even be trained as an elder, as long as Qin Lanyu is willing to stay, she could become an elder of a lineage within ten to twenty years.
But you’re telling me Qin Lanyu was coaxed away by you, Yuchi?
"Hahaha, don’t say I coaxed her."
"The reason I brought up Qin Lanyu isn’t to brag in front of you."
"As I said, I’m just sharing some joy."
"Hehe."
Yuchi displayed a look of sincerity while flattering Sun Miaoxing: "Could Elder Sun be jealous of me over such a small matter? Surely not... Such an excellent disciple should truly bless the other, hoping she goes further."
Rascal, you’ve said all the good things...
Sun Miaoxing glared at Yuchi, yet as Yuchi predicted, Sun Miaoxing’s attitude was much better now, at least, without being overly smug given he’s at Medicine Master Valley. He curiously asked:
"So, what is the purpose of you, this resourceful rascal, coming to Medicine Master Valley? What you can’t solve, we might not be able to either."
...
Over a hundred yards away, several young apprentices at Medicine Master Valley saw Yuchi.
The apprentices were quite young, boys and girls, about twelve or thirteen years old.
Now, they were watching the two people’s conversation from a distance, pretending to tend to medicinal herbs while whispering.
"I’ve never seen this young man before; wonder who he is, but he managed to get Elder Sun to welcome him personally."
"Yeah, he doesn’t look much older than us, yet he has such a good relationship with Elder Sun. Elder Sun isn’t usually someone who likes to smile."
"Who knows, there are always greater people out there. This unknown young man manages to show such composure before Elder Sun, he must be quite important, and how many important figures exist in this world only those themselves know."
"Why do you think he came to Medicine Master Valley?"
"I don’t know."
"Me neither."
"Why don’t you go and ask?"
"Haha, no way, I don’t want to hit a bad note now. Discussions between important people are better left behind the scenes."
The apprentices of Medicine Master Valley talked amongst themselves without noticing a small shadow behind them. When they heard the shadow speak, they immediately fell silent, tending to the herbs with great caution.
"Focus on communicating with the herbs rather than paying attention to Valley matters. Caught by me this time, next time, if I catch you chatting, I’ll send you to fetch water from far away."
