Wushuang naturally overheard Li Liuyun and Nangong Li's conversation. She glanced at An Yi with sympathy and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, take care! And remember to stay single. Don't go looking for girls. With your mouth, if a girl marries you, she'll be living a life of widowhood!"

An Yi was still thinking about the question he had just asked Wu Shuang and hadn't heard the conversation between Nangong Li and Li Liuyun. Now, after hearing Wu Shuang's words, he was even more puzzled: "Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean by saying that if a girl marries me, she will be at risk of living as a widow sooner or later? I understand, are you cursing me to die early?"

Wushuang shook her head: "What I mean is that from now on you should eat and drink as you please, and don't be reluctant to spend those few taels of silver. After all, with your mouth that's so good at courting death, it's not an accident that your master will bury you alive in the future, it's inevitable! So why are you still saving money? You might as well spend it now!"

Seeing that Wushuang was speaking so seriously, An Yi quickly covered his mouth with his hand, blinked at Wushuang, and looked around.

Wushuang spoke up: "Master has already gone far away, so please speak frankly."

An Yi grabbed Wu Shuang's sleeve: "Big brother, help! Please, big brother, give me some guidance and save my life! Waaah..."

Wushuang nodded: "Actually, there is another way. As long as you don't speak recklessly in the future, I think you should be able to live until the end!"

An Yi nodded hurriedly: "Then I'll try to speak less in the future, and I'll stay silent if I can!"

Wushuang shook her head: "I think there's another way to ensure you don't say anything inappropriate!"

"Tell me quickly! What's the plan?" An Yi asked anxiously.

"Go find the princess..." Wushuang hadn't finished speaking.

An Yi continued, "Are you suggesting I find the Princess to be my master? Forget it, I think the Princess is more terrifying than the Prince!"

Wushuang flung An Yi's hand away: "Dream on! That's my master. I'm enough! I'm telling you to go to the princess and get a poison to make yourself mute, so I can guarantee you won't open your mouth and court death!"

An Yi pointed at Wu Shuang in shock: "You...you...what did you say?"

"After all, besides the mouths of the dead, only the mouths of the mute are truly tight; they won't speak carelessly!" Wushuang finished speaking, turned around, and left, no longer paying attention to An Yi!

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun arrived at Zhuge Qingyi's courtyard. At this moment, Nangong Li was holding a brocade box in his hands, which Li Liuyun had just taken out of his spatial storage. Tomorrow, they would leave Nan'an City and head to the military camp on the frontier.

This box was left by Li Liuyun for Zhuge Qingyi, and it can be considered as her apprenticeship gift to this cheap master.

The two arrived at Zhuge Qingyi's courtyard. The disciples serving in the courtyard hurriedly bowed upon seeing them enter: "Disciple greets the two senior uncles. Is Junior Uncle here to see Grandmaster? I will go and inform him immediately."

No sooner had the disciple finished speaking than Zhuge Qingyi's voice rang out: "No need, let the two of them come in!"

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Upon hearing Zhuge Qingyi's words, the disciple stepped forward, pushed open Zhuge Qingyi's door, and gestured to Li Liuyun and Nangong Li, "Second Uncle, Grandmaster invites you in."

Li Liuyun nodded and led Nangong Li inside. The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Zhuge Qingyi was preparing the medicine. Li Liuyun sniffed the air but did not say anything.

Zhuge Qingyi looked up and saw Nangong Li and Li Liuyun enter. She smiled and said, "Please sit down for a while. I'm preparing medicine for your senior brother's leg injury, but we're still missing one ingredient..."

Before Zhuge Qingyi could finish speaking, Li Liuyun interrupted her: "The last medicinal herb you mentioned isn't old enough. Let's use the one I brought instead. It will greatly shorten the healing time and double the success rate."

After Li Liuyun finished speaking, he reached out his hand to Nangong Li, who then handed the box over.

Li Liuyun pretended to open the box, but actually took out a 10-year-old bone-strengthening herb from his spatial storage and handed it to Zhuge Qingyi.

Zhuge Qingyi took the Bone-Melting Grass from Li Liuyun's hand, her eyes lighting up: "Indeed, your Bone-Melting Grass is much older than mine. Girl, you didn't come to see me just to give me this Bone-Melting Grass, did you?"

Li Liuyun nodded and placed the box on the table: "Old man, open it and take a look."

Zhuge Qingyi walked to the table, opened the box, and besides shock, there was an indescribable expression on her face. Inside the box were several medicinal herbs, including two ginseng roots that were over a hundred years old and two purple lingzhi mushrooms that were over a hundred years old. Zhuge Qingyi's lips twitched: "Girl, aren't you being a bit too casual?"

Li Liuyun waved his hand: "These were dug up in the mountains we passed by. We came out in a hurry and didn't prepare so many jade boxes! We could only put them together casually. Now they are all yours. You can use whatever you like to put them in!"

And that bottle you saw before, the one with the medicine you drank before, the concentration of the medicine in this bottle is ten times that of the previous one.

Add a drop to your senior brother's medicine; it will accelerate bone healing and also cleanse his marrow and tendons. It can neutralize nine-tenths level poisons currently on the market! You can keep it for self-defense or to treat illnesses and save lives—it's up to you!

"Keep the century-old ginseng and lingzhi for yourself, just in case. We're setting off for the Southern Frontier tomorrow. Wait at Senior Brother Feng's residence for Senior Brother to arrive. First, heal his leg. I'll come back to pick you up after I've finished my business, and then we'll go home together."

Zhuge Qingyi simply nodded after hearing Li Liuyun's words, closed the box, and did not refuse or say anything.

Li Liuyun looked at the silent Zhuge Qingyi and was a little surprised. According to the old man's personality, he would definitely have to use a lot of persuasion to accept these things. Why is he acting so strangely today?

Li Liuyun looked at Nangong Li, who said, "Senior, rest assured, Seventeen is my fiancée. I will protect her and will never let her suffer any harm! We will come to pick you up and take you home as soon as we finish our business."

Li Liuyun then understood what Nangong Li meant. It turned out that the old man was worried about her safety and was reluctant to let her leave.

As expected, Zhuge Qingyi looked up after hearing Nangong Li's words: "Boy, you must keep your word. If my good disciple suffers even the slightest harm, I will hold you responsible!"

Nangong Li nodded: "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely keep my word! Besides, Seventeen is not as weak as those women who are raised in seclusion. With her martial arts skills, ordinary people cannot get close to her."

Besides, Seventeen is a master of both medicine and poison; how many people in this world do you think could harm her? Those who should be worried are the ones who want to hurt her!

Zhuge Qingyi nodded in agreement with Nangong Li's words: "I know that makes sense. With her abilities, there are very few people in this world who can hurt her. But I'm still worried. Maybe it's because I'm getting old, but I tend to overthink things!"
