Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

As Yang Jianwu came out of the guest room, Jing Nan rushed forward and anxiously asked, "Brother Ye, how is your injury? Is it serious?"

"I won't die," Yang Jianwu said irritably.

The Ghost Doctor could tell from Yang Jianwu's tone that the wound had been treated, and he stepped forward with a grin, "Little Wu'er, you've worked hard. Your subordinate just brought over a feast. Let's eat it while it's hot, and pair it with some peach blossom wine. How wonderful!"

Leading Yang Jianwu to Old Tie, he formally introduced her: "This is the old man's good friend—Tie Qiusheng."

Yang Jianwu solemnly bowed to Elder Tie, who nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't know what grudge his disciple had against him, judging from Ye Ning's evasive answer, he must be in the wrong.

The Ghost Doctor patted Yang Jianwu on the shoulder and looked at Old Tie, "This is the little Wu'er I told you about."

Tie Lao often heard Gui Lao mention Xiao Wu'er. When they first met, he could tell from their conversation that this was the gifted child. The two had different strengths in their medical skills. Outsiders thought they were master and apprentice, but in reality, Gui Lao was pestering the little girl to learn medicine.

Thinking of the little girl... he took a closer look at Yang Jianwu. Dressed in men's clothing, he really looked like a handsome young man. If he didn't know the truth, he probably wouldn't be able to guess that the young man in front of him was a girl.

Does his foolish apprentice even know that this is a girl? Looking at how tense the two of them were just now, how come the brat has no sense of chivalry? He mentally complained to his apprentice.

"Good boy, get up. Ye'er is my apprentice. He is usually very polite. There must be some misunderstanding between you two. Once he's healed, I'll have him apologize to you." Despite his complaints, Old Tie still sided with his apprentice.

“Senior Tie, there is no misunderstanding. You don’t need to speak up for him. It is true that he trespassed on private property. Such behavior is shameful. You are a guest, and it is an honor for our manor to have you come to the West Suburbs Villa. A small meal has been prepared in the dining hall. Please follow me.”

"Yes, yes, yes~ We can talk after we've eaten. Hey, buddy, it's been so long since we last met. Let's have a few more drinks today, haha." Ghost Doctor joked, putting his arm around Tie Lao's shoulder as they headed to the dining hall, with Yang Jianwu following half a step behind.

The guest room door opened again, and Ye Ning came out. Jing Nan stepped forward, "It seems the poison has been neutralized; you look much better."

"Yes, he's fine now. Send someone to investigate Yang Jian carefully and see if they can find out his connection with the City Lord's Mansion." Ye Ning watched Yang Jian's departing figure thoughtfully.

In the dining hall, Old Tie felt that he had lived in vain all his life. The food could be made so exquisitely, like an ornament, that one couldn't bear to destroy it.

Yang Jianwu served Tie a bowl of Wensi Tofu. Tie scooped up a spoonful of soup, noticing the thin strands of tofu inside. He tasted it and exclaimed, "This is tofu?"

The Ghost Doctor was also surprised when he first ate it, but now seeing his old friend's dumbfounded expression, he felt better. "Unbelievable, right? This tofu is cut so fine that you can pass a needle through it. I was also stunned when I first ate it."

Old Tie praised, "Excellent, excellent! Smooth and smooth, it melts in your mouth, simply superb."

The Ghost Doctor placed another shrimp on Old Tie's plate, saying, "Try this; I guarantee you've never had it before."

Old Tie picked up a shrimp and savored it carefully, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Tea aroma?! Could it be stir-fried with tea leaves?"

The Ghost Doctor nodded smugly, "This is Longjing Shrimp."

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Master, the two young masters from the guest room have arrived."

Yang Jianwu had completely forgotten about the two people and hadn't sent anyone to invite them. Now that they were here, she couldn't drive them away, so she could only add more bowls and chopsticks and invite them to sit down.

Jing Nan was immediately drawn to the feast upon entering. Others might not know the extravagance of this meal, but as a notorious playboy in the capital, he was very familiar with the dishes at Hua Shui Yue Fang. More than half of the dishes were ones he had eaten at Hua Shui Yue Fang before, and they were all quite expensive. There were also a few unfamiliar dishes, likely new additions for the next season.

Hua Shui Yue Fang never delivers to other places, so the fact that Yang Jian was able to arrange for Hua Shui Yue Fang to deliver the dishes to the western suburbs outside the city shows that their relationship is quite special.

Ye Ning simply observed quietly.

"Ye'er, come and try it! The dishes here are unique; you might not find them anywhere else." Old Tie was very protective of his disciple, and when he saw his disciple arrive, he quickly urged him to eat together.

Ye Ning and Jing Nan sat down together. Jing Nan was full of curiosity about the dishes he had never seen before. Without any hesitation, he picked up a shrimp and said, "I heard the two seniors discussing this dish when I was at the door. I'd like to come and taste it too."

Upon tasting the shrimp, she exclaimed in amazement, "It's amazing that Longjing tea can be used in cooking! The shrimp's delicate fragrance and tenderness, combined with the emerald green and sweet taste of Longjing tea, create an unforgettable flavor. By the way, who came up with this idea? Hmm~ Where's Qingdai, the maidservant beside Young Master Yang? She seems to have quite a bit of knowledge about food. Let's call her over to discuss this further."

Yang Jianwu looked at Jing Nan and thought of what Hong Feng had said about having concubines in his household. Judging from their expensive clothes, they must be from powerful or prestigious families, and it was inevitable that they would have three wives and four concubines in the future.

Thinking of that innocent little girl, Yang Jianwu felt a pang of heartache. Ever since they parted ways, Qingdai had been somewhat absent-minded. Luo Li said that she liked Young Master Nan. At first, they didn't believe it and thought Luo Li was just teasing her. Later, Qingdai neither refuted nor explained, so everyone knew that she had fallen in love.

Qingdai had only met him once and knew nothing about his family background. In terms of status, she would never become his legal wife. Whether Young Master Nan could protect her was another matter. After entering the mansion, she would have to compete with a group of women for his affections, and from then on, she would be scheming against them and lose herself.

Can love at first sight last? Yang Jianwu was not optimistic. She did some persuasion for Qingdai and asked Songyin to accompany her to walk around and relax. So today, only Ziping and Mujin came to the West Suburb Villa.

Yang Jianwu felt disgusted and ignored Jing Nan. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up another coiled eel for Tie Lao, saying, "Senior, try this. It's my favorite. Eels are hard to find and are not sold to the public. This dish is a bit spicy, so try it slowly."

Seeing that Yang Jian ignored him, Jing Nan wondered what he had done to offend him, and touched his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.

Old Tie was unaware of what had happened between them. Seeing that Xiao Wu'er ignored both of them, he stopped talking and focused on his meal. "The meat is tender and flavorful, spicy and fragrant. It's definitely a great dish to have with drinks. Come on, Old Gui, let's have a drink."

"Come on, cheers!" Old Ghost replied cheerfully. In the face of delicious food, other people's grudges had nothing to do with him.

After the meal, only the two old men enjoyed themselves; the other three, each with their own thoughts, ate without tasting the food.
