However, Mu Qiqi quickly interjected, “It’s not entirely my fault. The Heart-Protecting Pill is a wonderful remedy for such injuries. I didn’t expect there to be such a core issue. I was just careless for a moment…”
“But I am a second-rank spiritual pill master. How dare he reprimand me?”
“Moreover… no matter what, I did help him wake up, didn’t I?”
Qing Shihua, hearing this, smiled and said, “Alright, alright, as long as he’s awake, that’s what matters.”
Mu Qiqi’s father was extraordinary, and her mother was the current Imperial Princess. Growing up within the Qingyun Pavilion, she had been surrounded by second-rank and even third-rank spiritual pill masters. She had been nurtured and protected all her life. Moreover, with her exceptional talent in pill crafting, she had always been cultivated as a genius. She had never been scolded in such a manner before.
Qing Shihua continued, “However, Shiyu did have a point. This fellow is indeed a bit arrogant…”
“Humph!”
Mu Qiqi indignantly said, “I think I shouldn’t have come. He’s just an ordinary pill master, and he dares to reprimand me!”
Qing Shihua said again, “Alright, Miss Mu, you almost killed him, but fortunately, no harm was done.”
“Moreover, this young man has achieved the subtle realm of sword intent, and he is also a pill master and apparently a spiritual array master. If you could truly bring him into the Qingyun Pavilion, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.”
“I regret coming now,” Mu Qiqi huffed. “Shihua, let’s go.”
With that, Mu Qiqi was about to pull Qing Shihua away. At that very moment, two figures stood at the entrance of the courtyard.
Ye Wushuang, dressed in white and still looking somewhat weak, stood there with Ye Feifei’s support. Upon seeing Ye Wushuang, Mu Qiqi’s expression immediately soured.
“What do you want?” Mu Qiqi grumbled.
Ye Wushuang sighed inwardly but still stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Thank you, Miss Mu Qiqi, for coming to my aid.”
“I don’t deserve your thanks. I almost killed you,” Mu Qiqi retorted.
“No, no, Miss Mu’s pill craft is remarkable. I am truly impressed and grateful for your life-saving help,” Ye Wushuang insisted. He didn’t feel it was necessary to apologize, but his mother had insisted.
“Are you mocking me?” Mu Qiqi huffed. “I didn’t save you. I almost killed you!”
Ye Wushuang felt a headache coming on. This young woman, being a second-rank spiritual pill master at such a young age, clearly had an extraordinary status. He didn’t know how Xia Lei had managed to invite her, but angering such a woman would indeed be troublesome to appease.
Ye Wushuang said again, “I sincerely apologize to you, Miss Mu. Without your Heart-Protecting Pill, it would have taken me much longer to wake up.”
“In any case, you did help me,” he added.
Mu Qiqi huffed and ignored Ye Wushuang. Qing Shihua, standing nearby, smiled and said, “I heard from Shiyu that you are also a pill master?”
Qing Shiyu?
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s puzzled expression, Qing Shihua clarified, “My name is Qing Shihua. I am Qing Shiyu’s sister.”
Ye Wushuang smiled slightly and said, “I have some knowledge of it.”
“Some knowledge?” Mu Qiqi laughed. “Since you claim to have some knowledge, let me test you. Dare you accept the challenge?”
She had come for Ye Wushuang, and if his pill craft was truly just a little bit of knowledge, then her trip would be in vain.
Hearing this provocative question, Ye Wushuang instinctively wanted to say he dared not. But at that moment, Ye Feifei spoke up, “My brother is amazing. He knows pill craft and array craft. What is there to be afraid of?”
Her words left Ye Wushuang stunned for a moment. Seeing Ye Feifei’s proud gaze, Ye Wushuang smiled warmly and said, “That’s right. There’s nothing I dare not accept!”
