Is it necessary to ask such an obvious question?
“Bai Qi, what’s with that look? Are you looking for a fight?”
“A fight? Only barbarians do that. I’m not interested. I think you guys are just jealous of me.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze shifted to Bai Qi.
“Do you have a problem, Bai Qi?” Wan Gu looked at Bai Qi and asked.
Even Luo Hou, who prefers solving problems with force, looked at Bai Qi. “Since Bai Qi thinks we’re barbarians, let’s bond a bit.”
Bai Qi twitched at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Luo Hou, decisively shaking his head. “Let’s forget about it. I never had any intention of bonding with you.”
Luo Hou’s martial arts skills were the best among the four of them, and Bai Qi, who spent most of his time in the pharmacy, was no match for him.
Engaging in a sparring match with him would just be seeking trouble, something he wouldn’t do.
“Objections are invalid,” he said, dragging someone away to the training ground outside.
“Wan Gu, you’re in charge of this guy. We’re off to watch the show,” Luo Hou said.
Luo Yan looked at Wan Gu. “Thanks for your hard work.”
After saying that, the two of them left, leaving Wan Gu and Yuan Bao standing there, staring at each other.
“They really are…”
Wan Gu didn’t finish his sentence. He simply took the person away, not giving him a chance to speak.
“Where are you taking him?”
“I’m taking him to play with his son.”
Seeing that Wan Gu didn’t even turn back, Yuan Bao considered for a moment and also prepared to go watch the fun.
When they arrived at the training ground, Bai Qi was being chased by Luo Hou.
Bai Qi ran while seeking Su Yu. When he saw Su Yu, he directly hid behind him. “Brother Yu, save me.”
Su Yu looked at Luo Hou. “You two always love causing trouble.”
Luo Hou completely denied that they were causing trouble. “Brother Yu, we’re just sparring.”
On the side, Nan Qiao and the others nodded vigorously in agreement. “Brother Yu, it was Bai Qi who proposed to spar with Luo Hou.”
“Yes, it has nothing to do with Luo Hou. Bai Qi brought this upon himself.”
Bai Qi was completely dumbfounded. What kind of grudge was this? They were saying things even ghosts wouldn’t believe.
Su Yu glanced at Bai Qi behind him. “What do you have to say?”
“This has nothing to do with me, Brother Yu. I have no intention of bonding with them.” Bai Qi said with tears in his eyes.
Su Yu’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he shook his head, somewhat helplessly.
They were all a bunch of lively characters.
“Luo Hou, go easy on him. After all, he’s one of us.” They often engaged in such playful banter, and sometimes Su Yu would also watch from the sidelines.
Bai Qi was completely dumbfounded. “Brother Yu, you’re just going to let this happen to me?”
Su Yu’s eyes held a playful gleam. “Having Luo Hou help you practice martial arts isn’t a bad idea, is it?”
“It’s been a long time since you last practiced martial arts since coming here, hasn’t it?”
Nan Qiao nodded in agreement. “Bai Qi, you’ve been slacking off.”
Bai Qi was furious, glaring fiercely at Nan Qiao. He snapped, “Nan Qiao, shut up.”
“We spar every day, except for you. And you have the nerve to complain?”
“I’m a doctor, I don’t need to rely on high martial prowess,” Bai Qi retorted indignantly.
Su Yu watched Bai Qi with a hint of helplessness. “Bai Qi, never put your life in someone else’s hands. That’s a very foolish thing to do.”
“I’m always with Brother Yu, and with Nan Qiao and the others around, even if I have weaknesses, I’m not afraid,” Bai Qi stated firmly.
His trust in Su Yu and the others left Su Yu momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say.
“Bai Qi, behaving like this could easily lead to misunderstandings, you know that?” Su Yu finally replied, a bit taken aback by Bai Qi’s trust.
“Brother Yu?”
“No problem,” Su Yu replied calmly.
Watching Su Yu standing by the side, Luo Hou suddenly made a move towards Bai Qi.
Bai Qi quickly dodged, saying, “Luo Hou your in trouble now.”
At that moment, Luo Yan and Nan Qiao joined in, turning the one-on-one situation into a free-for-all.
Xiao Bao, hearing the commotion, happily came over to watch.
Seeing them fighting vigorously, he found it very amusing.
“Dad, do Uncle Nan Qiao and the others often do this?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Su Yu responded.
“This is also good, being able to play around with friends,” Xiao Bao remarked as he watched them.
No matter how old you are, being able to mess around with friends like this is nice.
Su Yu looked at Xiao Bao standing beside him and reached out to pat his shoulder. “You’ll also have people who share your interests, son.”
“Dad, I believe that too.”
Seeing Xiao Bao’s somewhat pale face, Su Yu crouched down to his level and asked, “What’s wrong?”
As his hand touched Xiao Bao’s face, Su Yu’s expression changed. “Nan Qiao, Bai Qi, come here quickly.”
Hearing Su Yu’s voice, Nan Qiao and Bai Qi both left the fight at once. “What’s wrong, Brother Yu?”
“It seems like Xiao Bao’s poisoning is acting up again,” Su Yu said. Just now when he touched Xiao Bao’s face, it felt cold, just like when Xiao Bao’s poisoning flared up before.”
Nan Qiao frowned. “This shouldn’t be happening.”
“Bai Qi, hurry and check on Xiao Bao, find out what’s going on,” Nan Qiao said anxiously, looking at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi reached out to take Xiao Bao’s pulse, and as he did, Wan Gu arrived.
“Wan Gu, come and take a look,” Bai Qi said.
Wan Gu went over to take Xiao Bao’s pulse, and his expression instantly turned grim. “How could this happen?”
“What’s wrong, Wan Gu?”
“Nan Qiao’s Gu can only suppress this cold poison for at most half a year,” Wan Gu explained.
Nan Qiao’s expression turned cold. “Then we must go to Nanjiang as soon as possible.”
Originally, they planned to deal with the Hou family first before going, but who could have predicted that Xiao Bao’s condition would change like this?
“Yuan Bao, you stay here to help Xiao He. Don’t let anyone from the Hou family escape. After feeding Hou Jiaqin and Hou Shijie the cold poison, send them back to Lu Empire. Whoever’s men bring them here, send them back there,” Su Yu quickly arranged the tasks, reaching out to pick up Xiao Bao.
“Nan Qiao, get ready. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning,” Su Yu instructed.
“Okay.”
“Brother Yu, we’ll be here to watch over things, so don’t worry. We won’t let anything happen here,” Bai Qi reassured.
“Alright.”
Su Yu carried Xiao Bao to find Wang Jinhe. Since Xiao Bao was poisoned, Wang Jinhe had been busy every day, wanting to assist Xuan Feiran in dealing with Lu Empire. Many things had already begun.
Seeing Su Yu carrying Xiao Bao over, Wang Jinhe quickly stood up. “Xiao Bao was with me for a while before and said he wanted to find you. What happened?”
“Xiao He, Nan Qiao, and I are going to Nanjiang tomorrow.”
Wang Jinhe’s expression changed instantly. “What happened?”
“Wangu said this cold poison has changed for some reason. Nan Qiao’s gu can only suppress it for half a year. We must quickly bring back the Red Fire Lotus, and we’ll need Huang Qi and the others help with other medicinal herbs.”
“I need the seeds,” Wang Jinhe said to Su Yu.
“I’ll have Huang Qi look for seeds. If they’re available, we’ll bring them to you. If not, we’ll have to look for the herbs. Some herbs are hard to find, but if we can get the seeds, it’ll be better,” Su Yu explained.
The Lingquan Water in Xiao He’s hands could help the herbs grow in the shortest time possible.
“Alright.”
