Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Seeing that Jing Nan didn't respond, Qing Dai silently continued eating. He was already awake. Oh yeah, mission perfectly accomplished. Chicken legs still smell the best. Let's keep eating.

Hearing the noise, Yang Jianwu woke up and checked Jing Nan. "He doesn't have a fever yet. If there are no complications by this time tomorrow, he just needs to rest well."

"Mujin, remember to put the medicine bottle away carefully later." The IV set was made of a special material, which she had directly exchanged from her spatial storage. She didn't want the whole world to know; she understood the principle of "possessing a treasure invites trouble." She agreed to treat Jingnan partly to obtain medical points, and partly because of the familiarity Ye Ning gave him—it was a case of healing someone with whom she had a connection.

"Yes, young master." Mu Jin was Yang Jianwu's biggest fan, and she would do whatever he asked.

"Young Master Ye, remember to keep your promise later." After saying that, he went back to sleep.

Ye Ning was also a grateful person, so he immediately asked Hongfeng to send the silver notes over. Songyin took the silver notes and indicated that Hongfeng could go back now. There was no need to greet the young lady anymore. The young lady was the most important person in the world, and it would be unforgivable to disturb her.

Yang Jianwu's disguise skills had improved significantly compared to a few years ago, making him virtually indistinguishable to outsiders. At this moment, in Ye Ning's eyes, Yang Jianwu was simply a playboy with a penchant for men, accompanied by a guard with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, and four maids who blindly followed his every command. Although he was the Ghost Doctor's apprentice and possessed some skill, he wasn't someone worth getting close to.

After a polite thank you, everyone went to sleep.

The geese are singing, and the sun is rising.

Ziping and Qingdai used the leftover chicken soup from last night to cook some wild vegetables and instant noodles, giving the beggar's chicken, which had been forgotten last night, a new dose of warmth.

Meanwhile, Ye Ning's men were eating dry rations. Hong Feng watched his master munching on dry, hard biscuits, then got up and went to Yang Jianwu. "Young Master Yang, would you mind selling us two bowls of noodle soup?"

Yang Jianwu clicked her tongue twice, "What a fine guard! I'd sell him for your thoughtfulness alone. Ziping, go to the carriage and get a few bowls. Give the rest of the food in the pot to Young Master Ye's guard, and also get some beef jerky."

Then she kicked Luo Li, "Did you hear that? Look how considerate their guards are. Unlike you, you have to make me cook for you. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Other people's guards are much better. Humph."

Luo Li was caught in the crossfire. He glared at Hong Feng, then mischievously put his arm around Yang Jianwu's shoulder and said, "We're a handsome couple, how can our relationship be the same as theirs?"

Yang Jianwu roared, "Get out!"

Listening to their conversation, Ye Ning became even more certain that Yang Jian was a homosexual. Although he had saved his friend Jing Nan, he still couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted by him.

Hongfeng presented the instant noodles and dried meat to Ye Ning. Ye Ning took a couple of bites of the noodles. The taste was very fresh and unique. The noodles were curved. Being able to eat a hot bowl of noodles while traveling made her feel warm and comfortable. This was a really good dish.

Looking at the jerky in my hand, I had just heard it was called "beef jerky," so it must be made from beef. Taking a light bite, it wasn't spicy, not too hard, not too soft or greasy; after chewing for a while, it became soft and mellow.

Meat is scarce during military campaigns. In winter, when temperatures are low, some fresh meat can be stored. However, meat is difficult to store in summer and spoils easily. In dry seasons, people are lucky if they can even feed themselves, and meat is even more scarce.

This guy isn't much of a talent, but he's got a lot of skills. He's also the Ghost Doctor's apprentice. You can offend anyone, but you absolutely can't offend the doctor. It would be great if I could recruit him. Maybe I should find someone to seduce him and learn more from him.

Ye Ning was startled by her own thoughts, and felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of what he had said to her when they first met: "Young master, you should only see the painting; I alone know the essence of this place."

Jingnan couldn't get up right now, so Hongyun was feeding him. A man's feeding technique is naturally less refined than a woman's, and Qingdai couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward, took the bowl from Hongyun, and muttered, "So clumsy, such a big guy, and you can't even feed him properly."

Hongyun blushed as he was told this. They had been toughened up in the secret guard camp since they were young, and had never done such delicate work before.

Qingdai patiently fed Jingnan the noodles. Finding the beef jerky too hard, she tore her own portion of beggar's chicken into small pieces and shared it with Jingnan. The chicken was tender and juicy, with a delicious color and flavor that left a lingering fragrance on the teeth.

After finishing his meal, Jingnan couldn't help but ask, "Is there any chicken left?"

Qingdai pouted, extremely reluctant to pour all the chicken from her bowl into Jingnan's bowl, "You ate my portion too, you'll have to make it up to me double later."

Jing Nan smiled gently, "Alright, tell me where I can buy it, and give me an address, and I'll have someone buy it and deliver it to you."

"You can't buy it. Let me tell you, this beggar's chicken is made by our young master himself. Even if others know the method, they can't make it taste like this."

Qingdai looked proud.

"My son massages the chicken when he marinates it. He calls this step 'infusing the flavor.' This technique is something that others don't know, which is probably why the chicken tastes so unique, hehe."

"Your son is really amazing."

"That's right, my young master knows a lot."

The group was quite surprised to see Qingdai taking the initiative to serve Jingnan his meal and even chatting with him. Qingdai was usually carefree and would never initiate conversation with men, let alone do something as intimate as feeding him.

"What's going on?" Luo Li asked hesitantly.

"Our Qingdai is such a naive and innocent girl. She's so enthusiastic without knowing anything about other people's backgrounds. Isn't she afraid of being sold out?"

"Hey, do you guys think this could be love at first sight?"

"How can you fall in love when the person is still lying in bed and you haven't even seen their face?"

"Didn't you read the storybooks that said love at first sight is a feeling, not necessarily appearance? It could be a look in the eyes, or a glimpse of someone's back?"

"You should spend more time looking at the account books and less time reading those random stories."

……

The group argued heatedly, making no attempt to lower their voices. In the end, they even went so far as to suggest taking Jing Nan with them. Ye Ning listened to this and felt a surge of anger rising within him. He also lost respect for Yang Jian's abilities.

"After we finish eating, let's tidy up and get ready to leave. Hongfeng and Hongyun will take care of Jingnan." With a flick of his sleeve, he walked out of the temple.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Yang Jianwu didn't mind Ye Ning's icy face at all and continued chatting. Luo Li and these girls were all older than her. In this society, people get married early, and they should have been talking about marriage long ago. Perhaps because they had been with her since childhood, their thinking was also influenced. They would rather be single than settle for less. Now that they had finally found someone they liked, they had to seize the opportunity.

It has nothing to do with her if Young Master Ye is unhappy; as long as Young Master Nan nods, that's enough. She just doesn't know how things are at home.
