Chapter 358

"Ah!" When Qiao Xi heard Xiao Yushan's question, she remembered that she still had a wound on her face.

The wound was not too painful, and the situation was urgent, so she actually forgot about the injury on her face, so she was unable to wear a veil to hide it from her master.

"Hi!" Qiao Xi waved her hand pretending to be indifferent.

"Hey, Master, I told you not to scold me."

How could he scold his good disciple when she was injured? Xiao Yushan frowned:

"Okay, I won't scold you. Just tell me."

"Master, this is what happened.

Two days ago, the disciple took a fancy to a dagger and thought it was pretty good, so he started playing with it in his hand. Accidentally, he cut his face with the dagger.

I didn't expect the dagger to be so sharp, so the wound was quite deep."

After saying that, Qiao Qian stared at Xiao Yushan without blinking, wanting to know whether he believed what she said.

After just looking for a while, Xiao Yushan's expression didn't change at all, and his eyes didn't waver.

Is this belief or disbelief?

Qiao Xi couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

How could she know that she was not the only one observing the change in expression at this moment.

Xiao Yushan felt both angry and amused as he looked at his obedient disciple who kept stealing glances at him.

He was angry because as his disciple, Xiao Yushan, she could actually be hurt in the face. Didn't she know how to use his power to protect herself?

What made him even more angry was that the five brats were all in Baidi City, yet they were able to let their junior sister get hurt. It was really a waste for him to recognize them as his senior brothers.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have cared what they were doing. I would have just given them some poison and scared them out of Sanweiwu.

As for laughing, Xiao Yushan was laughing at the fact that his obedient disciple was so innocent and cute.

Any excuse others make up is more convincing than her saying that she was injured while playing with a dagger.

Or does your good disciple not believe that he can protect her?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yushan's only smile disappeared, and for a moment, all that was left was anger.

One is to make others angry, the other is to make yourself angry.

"My dear disciple, I know that you have been to the Nine Palaces Harem several times in the past few days."

Having said that, Xiao Yushan stopped talking.

He wanted to see how far she would go before she would tell him the truth as her master.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi was shocked and blurted out:

"Did the eldest brother tell you, or did the third brother? Or did they both tell you?"

Few people knew the details of this matter, and Josie couldn't think of anyone else.

Xiao Yushan glanced at his good disciple unhappily and said helplessly:

"Do you think I've been hanging around in Baidi City for all these years? Or is my title of 'miracle doctor' just for show? Let alone the Nine Palaces harem, even in the imperial court, if this divine doctor wants to know something, I can get it."

Well, I can’t hide it anymore. This was Qiao Xi’s first reaction.

"Haha, I am ignorant. I didn't know that Master is so powerful.

However, I am not lying, this wound was indeed inflicted by me with a dagger."

"Who forced you to do it?"

He is not someone who can be fooled easily. Xiao Yushan quickly discovered the loophole in her words.

"this--"

Qiao Xi hesitated, not knowing how to start.

"Let me guess. Currently, among your useless brothers, only Li Wen occasionally enters the Nine Palaces harem to treat people.

In the Nine Palaces, the only ones who don't care about the identity of that brat Ren Qingzhou are the Queen and the currently favored Concubine Shu.

If I am not mistaken, it is Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

Tell me the truth, what did she threaten you with?"

The more Qiao Xi listened, the wider her eyes opened. Finally, her eyes were wide open and her red lips were slightly parted, showing no sign of hiding her surprise.

"Master, you are truly amazing."

As she spoke, Qiao Xi gave Xiao Yushan a thumbs up.

"However, Master, you see, I'm already injured. Can I explain the reason to you later?

The most important thing right now is to deal with the sudden outbreak of disease in the outer city of Baidi City, don’t you agree?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yushan narrowed his eyes slightly. With this movement, the light in his eyes was mostly obscured, and for a moment, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Qiao Xi put her hands behind her back, feeling somewhat bewildered, and lowered her voice:

"Master, did you hear what your disciple just said?"

She was the one who was hurt, but now she was being cautious. Xiao Yushan sighed in his heart. He felt helpless about her, and there were indeed more important things to deal with right now, so he could only go along with her wishes.

"Okay, let's talk about this after we return from the outer city of Baidi City. However, there is one more thing,"

Xiao Yushan raised his eyes and looked at his disciple.

"Did you see Xu Yi today?"

Qiao Xi originally thought that Xiao Yushan would talk about something related to the plague, but she didn't expect that the first thing he said was about Xu Yi.

The key point is that she met Xu Yi at the Grand Tutor's Mansion today, and even Fu Chunfeng didn't know the whole story, and he had no chance to tell others.

It is impossible for other people to know. How could Master know since he had been away from Baidi City for many days?

"Master, could it be that you know this because of your great magical powers?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yushan responded without any modesty. After a moment's silence, he continued, "My dear disciple, the reason I brought this up is because I have something to say to you."

Qiao Xi was puzzled: "Master, just tell me what you want."

Xiao Yushan: "When dealing with people, one should not follow one's own will but understand their feelings; when dealing with things, one should not follow one's own opinions but understand the underlying principles.

You may not understand what I am telling you now, but just keep it in mind for now, and you will understand it later."

The more Qiao Xi listened to Xiao Yushan's words, the more confused she became.

However, thinking that he was his master and would not betray him, he simply did not ask any questions and waited for the opportunity he mentioned to come.

Then he nodded and said: "When dealing with people, you should not follow your own will, but understand their feelings; when dealing with things, you should not follow your own opinions, but understand the logic behind the things."

Okay, I've taken note. Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Yushan shook his head: "No more, go pack your things."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi turned around and left the study.

Returning to her room, she couldn't wait to close the door and bolt it from the inside, then she flashed and entered the space.

The room was quiet at this moment, and there was no one in sight.

"System, are there any medical books or canons related to the plague in this space?"

As Qiao Xi walked towards the room where the medical books were placed in the space, she asked the system.

"Yes. However, host, there are many types of plague. Which one are you looking for?"

"that is……"

Relying on her memory, Qiao Xi described the symptoms that Xiao Yushan had just mentioned to the system word for word.

After saying that, the system suddenly fell silent.

Qiao Xi thought it was searching, so she went into the house first and looked for medical books about the plague while waiting for the system's response.
