Chapter 17
"It\'s getting late today. Su Yue, hurry back and rest. Tomorrow, we\'ll have a reunion meal together. Divine Doctor Xuan and Xuan Little Four, please grace us with your presence. Su Yue has been in your care all these years, and this old man is grateful to you both."
"General, you are too kind. Little Five is our junior sister, so it was our duty. Rest assured, we will be there promptly tomorrow."
"That\'s right, if there\'s food, I\'ll definitely come."
"Then Grandfather, I\'ll return to my tent. You should also rest early," then she took out a bottle of Heart Protection Pills and handed it to him. "Keep this bottle of medicine. Take one if your heart feels unwell. Take good care of your health and live a long life."
"Good, good, Grandfather will listen to you and live a long life." Su Huan tightly held the medicine given by his granddaughter, his face full of emotion.
Su Yue and the others left the tent, and Su Yu, Su Yu, and Su Qian also followed.
"Father, how is your health?" Su Li stayed behind, concerned.
"Don\'t worry, these old bones can still last a few more years. Now that Su Yue is back, I have to take better care of myself. I still need to return to the capital and introduce Su Yue to her ancestors, and help her reunite with her brother. Those evil spirits won\'t dare harm them."
...
At this moment, Su Yu, Su Yu, and Su Qian were also gathered together. "Elder Brother, what kind of gift should we prepare for our cousin?"
"Yes, the gift for our first meeting must be meaningful. I didn\'t bring anything special from the capital this time. Elder Brother, do you have anything good?"
Su Qian fanned himself gracefully.
"You prepare your own gifts. I happened to obtain a spiritual mushroom of excellent quality. I originally intended to give it to that brat Xuan Little Three, but now I\'ll give it to our cousin instead, so it won\'t be wasted." Su Yu said proudly.
"It seems your plan has backfired, Elder Brother. Do you know what kind of medicines Su Yue casually took out to supplement Father\'s health the other day? Hundred-year ginseng, spiritual mushroom, snow lotus - she had them all, and each one was of the highest quality. I guess she\'s not lacking in medicinal ingredients." Su Yu mocked him.
"Ahem, let me think about it again."
While the three of them were racking their brains about what gift to give Su Yue, her tent was also buzzing with excitement.
"Little Five, you\'re too partial. The Soul Cleansing Pill - you\'ve mastered the Soul Cleansing Pill, but you didn\'t tell me? You\'ve hurt me deeply. I\'m no longer your dearest Third Senior Brother! Think about all these years, I wiped your butt and cleaned up after you as you grew up. Now that you\'re all grown up and your wings have hardened, you have good things but don\'t think of me first." Xuan Little Three wailed dramatically, his voice hoarse. "Now, now you\'re taking out four bottles to give to them. What about me? What about me? Where do you place me? Huh? Huh?"
Xuan Little Four cracked seeds while watching his Third Senior Brother\'s performance: Hmm, it seems this Soul Cleansing Pill is a good thing. Third Senior Brother doesn\'t even want his face anymore. Tomorrow, I\'ll also ask Little Five for a couple of bottles to try. I wonder if they taste good, if they\'re sweet.
Su Yue had a black line on her head: This is going a bit too far.
"Say something! Why aren\'t you saying anything? Is it because you feel guilty? Hmph, as long as you know your mistake. I\'m not a petty person. You... just express yourself, and I\'ll be magnanimous and forgive you."
As soon as he finished speaking, two bottles of Soul Cleansing Pills were placed in front of him. Su Yue\'s movements were so swift that she left Xuan Little Three dazed.
But he quickly recovered, shoving the two bottles into his robe. "Hmph, I\'ll let you off this time. If there\'s a next time, hmph, hmph, hmph." With that, he scurried away.
"Third Senior Brother\'s skills have truly grown. He\'s even better than Old Lady Wang from the mountain village. Impressive, impressive." Xuan Little Four munched on a big apple, full of admiration.
"Fourth Senior Brother, don\'t eat too much tonight or you won\'t digest it properly," Su Yue said after seeing off her Third Senior Brother, her head suddenly feeling much lighter. If he had nagged her any longer, her hair would have turned white.
"No worries, I\'m just having fruit. Little Five, is that Soul Cleansing Pill really powerful? Is it delicious?" Xuan Little Four asked.
Su Yue was speechless again. What kind of people were these two?
"It\'s not delicious, it\'s medicine. Do you want some?"
"Never mind then. Third Senior Brother is really strange, always collecting all sorts of weird medicines. You should get some rest. I\'ll go rest too. I wonder what General will treat us to tomorrow. Do you think there will be roast duck?" Xuan Little Four looked like he was drooling.
Su Yue\'s mouth twitched, and she turned to tend to her little medicine box.
Seeing that she wasn\'t responding, Xuan Little Four didn\'t make a fuss. He took another pear, munching as he left.
Su Yue looked at the four bottles of Soul Cleansing Pills she had taken out. It was appropriate to give them to her grandfather, uncle, elder cousin, and third cousin who practiced martial arts. But what would be suitable for her second cousin who didn\'t practice martial arts? Looking at her little medicine box, she took out two small black bottles. Yes, these would be appropriate for him.
After selecting the gifts, Su Yue instantly entered her spiritual space to freshen up. Big White immediately flew over when he saw her.
Big White: You came in so late today, I thought you weren\'t coming.
"I reunited with my grandfather and the others today, so I chatted about my life over these years, which is why I\'m late."
Big White: So soon. What was their reaction?
"What reaction could there be? They were happy, of course." Su Yue walked to the hot spring, preparing to soak for a while. Big White turned away. "Who wouldn\'t be happy to have such a talented and capable granddaughter?"
Big White: That\'s true. By the way, that thing you planted called Snake Spirit Grass seems to have borne fruit. You should go take a look later.
"Really? That\'s a rare treasure, only seen once in a hundred years. Third Senior Brother had a hard time obtaining the seed. I thought it wouldn\'t grow."
Big White: It probably wouldn\'t have grown on the outside, but in your spiritual space, what can\'t grow? Also, I went to the edge earlier and noticed that the white mist there seemed to have thinned. I suspect your space might expand again.
"No way, I haven\'t planted or brought anything new recently."
Big White: I don\'t know. Let\'s just wait and see.
"Keep a close eye on that Snake Spirit Grass. Don\'t let those little creatures ruin it. If it really bears the Snake Spirit Fruit, we\'ll strike it rich."
Big White: Is it that good?
"It\'s a legendary item that hasn\'t been used for nearly a hundred years. Supposedly, for those who have lost limbs, taking medicine made from it can regrow flesh, meridians, and bones. But it\'s unknown if that\'s true."
Big White: Alright, I\'ll keep a close watch. You can rest assured.
After a while with no response from Su Yue, Big White turned around to see her asleep, leaning against the hot spring. It seemed she had truly been exhausted lately.
