23 Retrieve

"Young lady is too courteous. This grandson of mine is too careless and is indeed inferior to young lady." The old man laughed calmly, causing Young Doctor Li to blush.

Nangong Yue's brows rose. She seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Old doctor, do you sell silver needles here?".

Even though she had only found a single pill and was still missing a few portions. With the silver needles, she would be able to start treating her brother.

The human brain is extremely fragile and complex, this will be an extremely long and difficult treatment process!

Young Doctor Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He exploded again. "Hey, you think our place is …"

"Wen Cheng, go and get me a set of my silver needles." The old man decisively said. Young Doctor Li could only listlessly obey and quickly brought a wooden box from the backyard.

Nangong Yue opened the box and saw that there were dozens of silver needles neatly placed inside.

With just one look at the luster, one could tell that the quality was pretty good. She nodded her head in satisfaction and handed a silver note to Young Doctor Li.

"This is the money for the silver needles." Without waiting for her response, she bowed and said, "Old Senior, farewell."

With that, she led An Niang out of the medicine store. As she passed by Chen Guiying, she gave him a casual look, then dived back into the crowd, her small figure quickly disappearing.

"Grandfather." Young Doctor Li looked at the banknotes in his hand. There were at least a hundred taels left, enough for the medicine.

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "That Frigid Mist Purple Mushroom obviously doesn't look good, so why did that little girl choose it?"

The old man looked at his grandson helplessly, breathing heavily, "Wen Cheng, you are still lacking a little bit in your training. It looks like grandfather will have to wait a few more years for you."

A year ago, the old man had already handed over the medicine store to his grandson, Young Doctor Li, and from his current words, it seemed that he was going to leave the mountain again.

"Grandfather …" Young Doctor Li felt even more ashamed.

"Wen Cheng," the old man said slowly, "You are mistaken."

He shook his head meaningfully and continued, "That's not the Frigid Mist Purple Mushroom at all, but the Heart Icy Zoyxia."

"Heart Icy Zoyxia!?" Young Doctor Li couldn't help but exclaim, "It's rare to see Heart Icy Zoyxia in a hundred years. It's said to be able to cure a hundred poisons, cure a hundred diseases, and prolong one's life."

When the surrounding crowd heard this, they immediately began to boil like boiling water as they whispered to each other.

"Old man, since it's so precious, why did you still offer it as a gift?" Chen Guiying curiously put his face between his grandfather and grandson. His eyes were bright and spirited, but he did not stand up, looking like a popinjay.

The old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "I will never be able to keep my words."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. This old man had been practicing medicine in the capital for many years, and his name had spread far and wide.

This made him even more respected, and after that, the business of the Li family medicine store became even more popular. That was a long story.

Just at this moment, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "Ah, that little girl is quite pitiful. She is still young, but her Qi and blood are empty. I hope that the Heart Icy Zoyxia can help her. "

When Chen Guiying heard this, his body trembled and Nangong Yue's exquisite and cute face appeared in his mind. It was as beautiful as a porcelain doll. He didn't expect …

That young lady had great medical skills at such a young age. Judging from her clothes, she seemed like an ordinary servant girl.

Her words and actions, however, were not ordinary at all. The woman she had made Aunt An into didn't seem like an elder at all, but more like a master and servant. Who was she?

Chen Guiying seemed to be deep in thought, and he couldn't help but look in the direction that Nangong Yue had left.

As for all of this, Nangong Yue was completely unaware of it. She was in a great mood as she walked back to her residence. She couldn't hold back her smile as her eyes sparkled.

She didn't expect that her journey would be so smooth and that she would be able to obtain the priceless Heart Icy Zoyxia so easily.

In her previous life, this Heart Icy Zoyxia was like a bright pearl covered in dust, it had been abandoned in the medicine cabinet.

This matter was treated as a topic of discussion after a meal. The news had spread throughout the capital overnight. Even Nangong Yue had felt regretful at that time.

Unfortunately, when Nangong Yue returned to her own courtyard, her good mood instantly disappeared. Yimei was standing uneasily by the door of her room, her eyes wandering.

Nangong Yue's gaze focused on Yimei. Although she looked casual, it seemed to contain the might of thunder.

Yimei shuddered and thought she saw the old mistress for a moment. No, the third miss seemed more intimidating than the old mistress.
