Chapter 516: Chapter 8: The Matriarch Has Returned
"Who was treating the patients yesterday? Bring him out," Lin Yaoâer pondered for a moment, instructing the Medicine Men to call out the doctor from yesterday.
However, upon asking, they discovered that the doctor had already disappeared.
Lin Yaoâer shuddered at heart, and looking at Qi Tianâs appearance, she understood that she must have been framed by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
"What now, canât you say anything? Clearly, that doctor killed someone and fled because he was at fault. Little Ciâen Hall has killed a person, how dare you claim to be the number one medical hall in Yujing City! Come people, smash this place!" Seeing Lin Yaoâer turning pale, Qi Tian was even more triumphant.
By his side, several ferocious Martial Artists surged forward and made a move to wreak havoc.
Little did they know, just as they were about to strike, one of them suddenly burst into flames.
"Ah!"
The fire was unexplained; Qi Tian was shocked, and his subordinates hurriedly moved to extinguish the flames. Although the fire was put out, the Martial Artist was covered in burn marks all over his body, which looked terrifying.
"Qi Tian, long time no see, still the same old you. Your master Cheng Sihai, even if he turned into a ghost, probably wouldnât let you go," a person said lazily.
At the sound of that voice, Qi Tian shivered all over.
Only then did Lin Yaoâer notice that there was another guest in the medical hall.
That guestâs... voice, smile, and the dimples beside her mouth, Lin Yaoâer was so excited she almost cried out: "Master, itâs Master!"
She hasnât seen Yun Sheng for three years, and never thought she would see Yun Sheng again in her lifetime.
"Yun Sheng! Werenât you dead in Xianju Country? How is this possible!" Qi Tian saw Yun Sheng as if he had seen a ghost.
The first thought in his mind was to flee.
My God, how did this lady come back!
"Trying to flee? Not so easy!" Yun Sheng didnât even use a Magic Wand, just a levitation magic, Qi Tian and his men were all frozen in their movements.
Yun Sheng walked up to the "deceased," took out a needle, and inserted it into the patientâs temples, philtrum, and abdomen.
The moment the needle was inserted, the "deceased," whose limbs were already stiff, actually regained warmth. Suddenly, he sat up and spat out several mouthfuls of dark, pitch-black medicine.
"Poison Nutmeg, a kind of medicinal herb that can cause false death; whether itâs humans or demon beasts, consuming it will briefly enter a state of false death," Yun Sheng sneered coldly.
This so-called "deceased" was clearly a stooge brought in by either Qi Tian or the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
If she hadnât used this Poison Nutmeg in the Purple Gold minearea before, saving a group of villagers, she might have fallen for Qi Tianâs deceits today.
"You! Yun Sheng! Donât push people too hard!" Seeing his scheme exposed, Qi Tian felt both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Thatâs what I should be saying to you. Yaoyao, report this incident to the government, let the government also see what kind of person Qi Tian, the prospective Imperial Physician of Great Zhou, is," Yun Sheng sneered coldly, Medicine Emperor Pavilionâs despicable tricks were endless.
With Yun Shengâs return, Lin Yaoâer felt like she had found her backbone. She efficiently ordered several Medicine Men, and together they took Qi Tian and the "deceased" to the government.
"Master, where have you been these three years? We were all so worried about you," Lin Yaoâer said while pulling at Yun Sheng, sobbing.
Not just her, Yun Shengâs disappearance was a significant blow to both the Little Ciâen Hall and the Hunting Corps.
Even though there was no news of Yun Sheng, Yun Canglang still commanded people to retain Yun Sheng as the Deputy Captain of the Hunting Corps.
"Iâll tell you more another day," Yun Sheng couldnât help but bitter smile; she couldnât just say that she lost her memory, forgetting everyone in the past three years, "Where is my father?"
After rushing back to Yujing, the first thing Yun Sheng did was to bring the Undying Holy Grail back to Little Ciâen Hall.
With the Holy Water from the Undying Holy Grail, she now had a chance to save her father, Yun Canghai.
Starting from when Yun Sheng was six years old, until now at the age of twelve, her father had been in a coma for a full six years.
Yun Sheng had always been perplexed by Yun Canghaiâs coma. Her medical skills were considered exceptional across the continent, yet she was utterly helpless regarding her own fatherâs condition.
Especially after she saw Hu Jiusheng in Xianju Country, she believed that her father must be hiding something from her.
Her mother was one of the Thirteen Great Summoners of the Summoning Court?
Could it be that the culprit behind her motherâs separation from her father and the years of family estrangement was the Summoning Court of Penglai?
All these doubts could only be answered after Yun Canghai was awakened.
"Uncle Yun has already been taken back to Yun Residence, it was General Yun himself who came to fetch him," Lin Yaoâer informed Yun Sheng, immediately after the news of Yun Shengâs disappearance reached them from Emperor Hong City, General Yun had ordered Uncle Yun to bring Yun Canghai back.
Yun Cangxue and her son were driven out of the General Mansion, while Yun Canglang and his wife, after their recent marriage, also lived within the Sky Hunting Corps. Doctor Fan and others felt pity for Yun Bahe being alone, so they arranged for him to be picked up.
In Yun Residence?
Upon hearing the news, Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment.
She and Yun Baheâs grudge had not yet been reconciled.
If she were to go to Yun Residence, it might mean that she would have to recognize her ancestors and her lineage.
Yun Sheng gave Lin Yaoâer several reminders and then left the Little Ciâen Hall alone, still undecided whether to go to Yun Residence and bring her father back.
While passing through a street in Yujing City, she heard someone selling buns.
"Buns, freshly baked buns," a woman with a coarse cloth headband shouted along the street, selling hot buns.
Yun Sheng had resided in Xianju Country for three years, and it had been a long time since she last saw meat. She had hurried on her way and had hardly eaten, so when she heard the shout, her stomach immediately growled.
"Give me five buns," Yun Sheng called out to the woman.
When she got a clear view of the womanâs face, both were stunned.
"Itâs you!" Yun Sheng realized that the woman selling buns was Yun Cangxue.
Yun Cangxue was also startled for a moment. Upon seeing Yun Sheng, she wasnât very excited, and her eyes no longer held any resentment. She swiftly grabbed five buns, wrapped them in paper, and handed them to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng wanted to pay, but Yun Cangxue refused to accept the money no matter what, "Yun Sheng, these five buns, consider them as my apology."
Yun Cangxue led Yun Sheng to a noodle stall by the street. At the stall, an honest-looking middle-aged man was busy.
*Ying Ying has seen many sisters giving generous rewards and tickets, thank you, always supporting, Iâm rolling to write about Yun Familyâs comeback*
Upon seeing Yun Cangxue, the man quickly came over, took the basket from Yun Cangxueâs hands, and poured some water to moisten her mouth.
The man wasnât handsome, but he was very considerate towards Yun Cangxue.
Yun Cangxue motioned Yun Sheng to sit down.
"Heâs my husband. I met him after being driven out of Yun Residence three years ago, in a village on the outskirts. Heâs an honest man and is very kind to me and Yuyu," Yun Cangxue said with a face full of vicissitudes, no longer bearing the aggressive demeanor of the spoiled daughter of Yun Residence.
Yun Cangxue regretted it deeply after being driven out of Yun Residence.
