The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

"The young master Yi you mentioned, we became friends because I saved his men."

"You'er, you're amazing!" Cuihua exclaimed in amazement.

"Aunt Cuihua, please don't praise me like that. My medical skills still need improvement. However, I have no problem treating headaches and fevers. In the future, if you or Uncle Tiewa feel unwell, just come to me, and I will definitely cure you."

"Okay," Cuihua replied with a smile.

Throughout the ordeal, Lüye kept wanting to speak but held back. Only after Cuihua left did he look at Fang Qingyou with a puzzled expression and ask, "Miss Fang, before you treated Elder Xing, didn't you already know the young master? How come you told me..."

"This is called a white lie. If I told others the truth, they would know that your young master is terrible with directions, and they would think he is very stupid and dumb, understand?" Fang Qingyou looked at Lüye with some helplessness. Like master, like servant. Lüye's naivety is exactly the same as Yi Lingyun's.

She lied, but that's how she made it seem like her medical skills were pretty good, isn't it?

She wasn't thinking of making money off Cuihua's family's medical expenses, but wouldn't it be good to help them promote their medical skills? After all, Cuihua would need to make a living with her medical expertise in the future.

Moreover, by saying this, she could find a reasonable reason for her acquaintance with Yi Lingyun. She did not want his weaknesses to be known by others, did not want too many people to know about the imperial edict, and even less did she want everyone to know that "Fang Shiyu" was her.

"Oh. It's all thanks to your intelligence, Miss Fang, otherwise I would have harmed the young master." Green Field said belatedly, then, remembering something, asked again, "Miss Fang, who is your master, that divine physician? How come you are so young, yet your medical skills are so superb?"

Green Field did not witness Fang Qingyou removing the poison from Elder Xing, but Yi Lingyun praised her medical skills highly in front of him, and he believed Yi Lingyun's words without a doubt.

That's why he became even more curious.

Fang Qingyou's eyes flashed: "My master didn't tell me his name. I only know that he is a reclusive doctor who likes to travel around the world and whose whereabouts are unpredictable. That's all I know."

Fearing her lie would be exposed, Fang Qingyou had no choice but to fabricate a story, making the reclusive doctor sound even more mysterious. After all, Green Field was not like the limited-knowledge village women like Ren Shi and Cuihua; they were not easily fooled.

As a result, Fang Qingyou saw Green Field's eyes light up instantly: "Miss Fang, so you are actually Xiaoyaozi's disciple!"

Fang Qingyou had no idea who Xiaoyaozi was, but judging from Lüye's expression, she could guess that he must be a peerless divine doctor, and that his characteristics matched the master she had made up.

Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, there really is such a person in this world.

Most importantly, the name Xiaoyaozi sounded nice, reminding her of the famous, dashing, and mysterious leader of the Xiaoyao Sect in martial arts novels.

Having a master like that would be pretty good, even if the master-disciple relationship is fictional.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou nodded without batting an eye: "I think it's very likely."

Since she's admitted it, so be it. Anyway, those people who know her may never see Xiaoyaozi in their entire lives, let alone verify whether she is really Xiaoyaozi's disciple.

Fang Qingyou didn't expect that after she said that, Lüye's expression became even more excited: "Miss Fang, no wonder you were able to cure Elder Xing's poison. It turns out you are Xiaoyaozi's disciple!"

Fang Qingyou stared at Lu Ye, puzzled, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.

However, she did catch a clue: the person who detoxified Elder Xing several years ago was actually Xiaoyaozi.

Judging from Green Field's reaction, Xiaoyaozi's medical skills must be very impressive, so why didn't he completely detoxify Elder Xing back then?

"Miss Fang, how has Senior Xiaoyaozi been lately? Come to think of it, it's been many years since I last saw him."

Green Field's words almost made Fang Qingyou spit out a mouthful of blood.

What? Green Field has actually met Xiaoyaozi before? It sounds like the two of them are quite familiar with each other?

"It's alright." Fang Qingyou was already feeling a little guilty, wondering if Lvye would see through her disguise.

"That's good. His hasty departure back then caused the young master a lot of worry. Now that we know he's doing well, we're relieved."

"Pfft—" Fang Qingyou was really about to vomit blood. How come Yi Lingyun also knew Xiaoyaozi?

Everyone around her knows Xiaoyaozi, so wouldn't her lies be too easily exposed?

However, Fang Qingyou quickly calmed down, because she had never been certain that her master was Xiaoyaozi; she only said "it should be" or "it is very likely"...

Even though she knew it in her heart, no one else knew, right?

Anyway, it was Lüye who said she was Xiaoyaozi's disciple, not herself.

Cough cough, if she really gets caught, she can just say that she doesn't know her master's name anyway, and thought that Xiaoyaozi was her master. Who would have thought that she had mistaken him for someone else?

This explanation is absolutely perfect; no one can find any flaws in it.

"Green Field, I just remembered I still need to help my mother chop wood. You should rest for a while, I'm here..."

Before Fang Qingyou could finish speaking, she saw Lüye quickly run towards the kitchen: "Miss Fang, you rest, I'll go help Aunt Ren."

Fang Qingyou wanted to call out to Lüye, but after thinking about it, she let him go. In any case, her purpose was just to separate from him temporarily so that he would not have a chance to ask about Xiaoyaozi's whereabouts.

If this curious child kept asking, she wouldn't know how to make up a story anymore.

After that, Fang Qingyou went back to her room to prepare the medicine.

In the afternoon, Liu the landlord's wife, Yingzi, came to deliver vegetables. When she saw Fang Qingyou, she said mysteriously, "You're so cute, do you know what happened in our village at noon?"

Fang Qingyou guessed what Yingzi was talking about, but pretended not to know and asked, "What is it?"

"That bastard Liu Erya got a real beating from Xiangguo, but Xiangguo was also beaten pretty badly by that bastard." As she spoke, Yingzi looked indignant, wishing she could rush over and slap Liu Erya a few times to avenge Liu Xiangguo.

"Huh? Liu Erya's ferocity is well-known in the village, why would Aunt Xiangguo provoke her?" Fang Qingyou asked, her face full of doubt. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, her expression changed: "Could it be because of that matter...?"
