The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Shen Qingyan looked at Yan Qiaoxi and pointed at her. "Also, what did you call her just now? If I heard correctly, it sounded like 'good disciple'. You said before that you wanted to accept a disciple. Was it her? Also, when did you accept her?"

Hearing his friend's question, Xiao Yushan secretly said "Oh no!" How could he accidentally say what was in his heart?

I had originally wanted to join him in accepting a disciple on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, and at the same time see his shocked expression.

Xiao Yushan felt a little annoyed at the thought of not being able to see the shocked look.

Shen Qingyan waited for a while, but when his friend didn't respond, he couldn't help but nudge him with his elbow: "Xiao Shitou, I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"

When Xiao Yushan heard his friend calling him by his nickname again, and in front of his future disciple, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His cheeks flushed and he angrily warned: "Shen Pingning, don't call me by my nickname again. Otherwise, I won't save your future disciple."

In order to show that he was indeed angry, he snorted coldly after saying this.

But Shen Qingyan showed no fear despite the warning. Instead, he curled his lips into a smile and said calmly, "Don't forget, my future apprentice is also your future apprentice's brother-in-law. Even without me, would you not save him?"

Xiao Yushan just thought that he could use this incident to control his friend, but he was exposed again with just one sentence.

For the sake of his apprentice, he could only grit his teeth in hatred.

"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you. At most, I won't call you by your nickname in front of outsiders anymore. That's fine, right?

If you can find a way to save Xu Yi, do it now. He's been in a coma for two days. If he continues like this, he's bound to have health problems."

Shen Qingyan's words were exactly what Qiao Qian was worried about.

The medical level in this world is far behind that in my world.

Xu Yi has not eaten or drunk anything, and there is no way to receive nutrient solution. He can only last for two or three days at most.

Moreover, she and Xu Yi are different in gender. Fortunately, the military doctor and Shen Qingyan were there these two days, otherwise Xu Yi would have been forced to be "honest with each other".

"Why are you so anxious? Do you think I don't want to cure him immediately? I can't be cured for the time being."

Xiao Yushan rolled his eyes at his friend in annoyance.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Qingyan and Qiao Qian asked at the same time.

Xiao Yushan glanced at the two people who seemed to have such a good understanding, scratched his forehead, spread the book in his hand forward, and said slowly: "Look for yourselves, it says what you need."

Shen Qingyan glanced at his friend and saw that he didn't seem to be teasing him, so he quickly reached out to take the book and started reading. As he read, he frowned.

After he finished reading it, Qiao Xi took it over.

She was very curious about what exactly was needed to stump the Divine Doctor Xiao that Shen Liuguang mentioned.

Unexpectedly, when Qiao Xi saw what was written in the book, she was stunned.

She recognized those words individually, but when they were put together, they seemed so unfamiliar.

"Medic, these are—"

"These are all the necessary medicinal herbs."

Without waiting for Qiao Xi to finish speaking, Xiao Yushan took over the conversation.

"How many of those precious medicinal herbs do you have in your collection?"

Shen Qingyan knew that his friend had been collecting some rare and precious medicinal herbs. He had just seen a medicinal herb in a book that happened to be one of his friend's collections.

Hearing his friend spill his guts, Xiao Yushan glanced at him and snorted, "Shen Pingning, did I owe you something in my past life? Otherwise, why do you always put yourself ahead of me in this life?"

After he finished speaking, he paused, his eyes were deep, his chin was supported by one hand, and he was mumbling something in his mouth. While he was talking, he was counting with one hand.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xi didn't dare to disturb him.

Until he raised his head and said, "Among those treasures of mine, two-thirds of the medicinal materials are available, but I still need one-third."

"What medicinal herbs? Are those herbs hard to find?"

Qiao Xi couldn't help but ask.

Maybe she just happens to have the missing medicinal herbs in her space.

But she also had to find a way to get it out without arousing their suspicion.

Xiao Yushan did not answer, but walked to the table, picked up a pen and started writing.

After writing, he brought the thin piece of paper over.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to take it, Xiao Yushan avoided her hand and handed the paper directly to Shen Qingyan.

"Well, you're my future disciple, so you should do your bit. These are the missing herbs. Use your connections to see if you can find them.

Of course, I'll keep looking. It'll be quicker this way."

Shen Qingyan nodded and was about to fold the paper when he suddenly saw a fair and beautiful hand appear in front of him.

Looking in the direction of the hand, he discovered that the owner of the hand was Xu Yi's sister-in-law, Xu Qiao.

Qiao Xi said politely, "Sir, can you let me see the list?"

Shen Qingyan frowned, thinking that it was unnecessary for her to look.

Her friends didn't have these medicinal herbs, so they must be very rare and precious. As a peasant woman, how could she know about these things? She might even have heard of them.

But then he thought that she was Xu Yi's sister-in-law and had the right to know, so he couldn't refuse.

I had no choice but to hand the paper to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi took it and read it quickly, while also memorizing it silently in her mind.

When she felt she had memorized it, she returned the paper to Shen Qingyan and thanked him.

"Time is urgent. Come with me back to the government office to get your treasures. I'll write a letter to Baidi City and settle the matters in the courtyard. Then I'll come back here to find you."

As Shen Qingyan spoke, he nodded to Qiao Xi as a farewell.

Hearing his friend's words, Xiao Yushan raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Have you finished dealing with the Nie family's affairs?"

When Qiao Xi heard the word "Nie family", she also looked up at Shen Qingyan.

She also wanted to know how far the Nie family's affairs had progressed.

As if noticing her gaze, Shen Qingyan glanced in her direction, then looked at his friend and nodded: "It's over, but it's not completely handled yet. I need to wait a little longer."

"what happened?"

Judging from Xiao Yushan's expression, he was obviously a little surprised by his friend's answer.

Shen Qingyan pondered for a moment, then said disapprovingly, "Nothing. I'll tell you in detail when Xu Yi wakes up. Okay, let's hurry back to Lingxiao City before it gets dark. After the city gates are closed, we'll camp outdoors."

After saying that, he walked out without wasting a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Yushan quickly gave Qiao Xi a few instructions and followed her out.

*

After sending them off, Qiao Xi closed the gate and bolted it from the inside, fearing that someone would bully her, a widow, like Zhang Quan had done.

Then she went back to Xu Yi's room, first checked to see if Xu Yi was okay, then walked to the table and, based on her memory, recited what was on the paper she had just read.

She closed her eyes, muttered something, and then disappeared from the room.
