Volume 1_Chapter 63: What? Want to spend the night with this seat?

Just when Yun Qiyue thought Ye Lanjue was about to get angry, she heard him say calmly: "Not bad."

Yun Qiyue let out a sigh of relief, only to hear Ye Lanjue say, "You may go."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

That's it?

Seeing that Yun Qiyue didn't move, Ye Lanjue raised an eyebrow slightly, "What? Want to spend the night with this seat?"

Yun Qiyue: "..." She certainly didn't...

After giving up on having Jiuyuan as a recharge device, Yun Qiyue was very decisive and turned to leave.

Once Yun Qiyue left the hall and only Ye Lanjue remained, his gaze fell back onto the bowl of braised noodles, somewhat lost in thought.

After Yun Qiyue exited the hall, she found herself in a dilemma.

The Ghost-Masked Man had brought her here, but now that he was likely still running to the latrine, how was she supposed to get back?

If she walked in the middle of the night, it would probably be dawn by the time she reached Jingcheng.

But if she didn't walk... Yun Qiyue looked left and right, not even seeing a ghost.

As for turning back to ask Jiuyuan to send someone to take her home?

Better not; it was already a blessing that he wasn't tormenting her.

Good-looking men were all somewhat inexplicable; Ouyang Xi was like this, and so was Jiuyuan.

Thinking this, Yun Qiyue resigned herself to her fate, set off, and walked in the direction she had come from.

After walking for about half an hour, Yun Qiyue finally reached the entrance to the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Night Pavilion, only to see a carriage parked there, with a Ghost-Masked Man sitting quietly on it.

Eh?

The previous Ghost-Masked Man?

But in an instant, Yun Qiyue dismissed this thought.

Her specially made laxative wasn't that easy to cure, and besides, the Ghost-Masked Man in front of her seemed to have a more composed temperament.

Seeing Yun Qiyue, the Ghost-Masked Man stood up and got off the carriage, "The Master told me to take you back."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue suddenly felt that Jiuyuan wasn't so bad after all.

Without refusing, Yun Qiyue got directly into the carriage...

By the time Yun Qiyue returned to Mingyue Building, it was already the hour of the tiger (3-5 AM), and Yun Qiyue fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

But it felt like she hadn't slept for long before she heard knocking at the door.

"What is it?" Yun Qiyue asked with her eyes closed, wondering why Qingyan and Sixue were knocking so early.

She knew that those two girls usually came whenever she woke up, as she sometimes stayed up late making medicine in the past few days.

"Eldest Miss, the people next door invite you over."

It wasn't the voice of Qingyan or Sixue, but that of a strange maid.

Yun Qiyue was very impatient and simply threw out, "Tell them to get lost."

Having said that, Yun Qiyue continued to sleep.

The maid outside, who had accepted a bribe, was at a loss, and just as she was about to speak again, she was yanked away with great force.

Before she could even cry out, her mouth was covered.

Once they were outside Mingyue Building and sure they wouldn't disturb Yun Qiyue, Qingyan let go and looked coldly at the little maid.

"Si... Qingyan..."

"Go collect your money and leave."

Qingyan just coldly dropped this sentence, and without caring about the maid's expression, turned and left.

The maid looked pale and full of regret.

Yun Qiyue knew nothing of this episode.

By the time Yun Qiyue woke up, it was already lunchtime.

Having slept well, Yun Qiyue was in a great mood and hadn't forgotten about going out to treat patients and earn points today, so after lunch, she picked up an empty medical box and went out with Qingyan and Sixue.

On the way, Qingyan reported the morning's events; Yun Qiyue didn't take it to heart and had no objections to Qingyan's handling of it.

Not long after, the three of them arrived in front of a medical hall.

To find patients, a medical hall was the most suitable place.

Not to mention ten, even a hundred would not be difficult.

Yun Qiyue was full of confidence, but when she stopped a bitter-faced patient at the entrance of the medical hall and indicated that she was a doctor and could help with a free consultation, the patient saw that Yun Qiyue was a woman and immediately refused as if avoiding a flood or a beast, hurrying away.

Yun Qiyue had black lines all over her head, and after stopping a few more, even though she could judge some symptoms by observing their faces, these people were all skeptical and finally refused to even let her take their pulse, turning her down directly.

Some even went so far as to say that a woman like Yun Qiyue should stay home and do embroidery instead of coming out to show her face, which was offensive to public morals.

Yun Qiyue wasn't angry at these people's ignorance, but she had no intention of proving her medical skills in public, so after trying a few times, she turned and left.

Qingyan and Sixue watched the whole time without speaking, and seeing Yun Qiyue leave, Sixue couldn't help but ask, "Miss, it's their loss if they don't let you treat them." Ever since Yun Qiyue saved Yun Bo, Qingyan and Sixue were very certain of Yun Qiyue's medical skills.

Yun Qiyue nodded, because she felt the same way.

She was never someone who would easily treat people; only others begged her for treatment, and there was no reason for her to beg others just to treat them.

Sixue continued to ask, "Miss, are we going to another medical hall?"

Although Sixue didn't know why her Miss wanted to come out to find people to treat, she guessed that her Miss wanted to practice.

After all, since an immortal had taught her Miss medical skills, it wouldn't do for her Miss not to put them into practice.

Sixue truly believed in the matter of the old immortal manifesting.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue shook her head, "No more."

It wasn't as if only medical halls had patients; rather than wasting her breath on those who looked down on women practicing medicine, it was better to find another way.

It would save trouble.

Sixue was puzzled, but seeing that her Miss had no intention of talking, she kept her mouth shut and followed silently.

Soon, Yun Qiyue stopped in front of a steamed bun shop and ordered a pile of buns and steamed bread, filling Qingyan and Sixue's hands.

"Miss, why buy so many buns and mantou?" They couldn't finish them even if they took them back to the General's Mansion.

"You'll know in a moment." Yun Qiyue kept her in suspense.

Then, Yun Qiyue found a little beggar on the street, and under his guidance, she arrived in front of a ruined temple deep in the west of the city.

At this time, there were still some old, weak, and young people in the ruined temple who hadn't gone out to beg, each one of them skin and bones.

Seeing the little beggar return with three women, these old, weak, and young people, who had been somewhat listless, stood up and looked with hope toward Yun Qiyue... and the large cloth bags in the hands of Qingyan and Sixue behind her.

They seemed to smell the sweet aroma of mantou.

Yun Qiyue looked at those old, weak, and young people and was very satisfied.

Yun Qiyue took a bag of steamed bread from Sixue and held it up, "Whoever is willing to let me take their pulse and treat their illness, I will give them buns and steamed bread to eat."

Compared to those who had money to see a doctor at a medical hall, she was more willing to treat these beggars.

After all, to her, these beggars were not just simple patients.

Since she had come to this world, she naturally had to develop her own forces, and these seemingly insignificant beggars were a very good choice.

Upon hearing that they would get food if they let her take their pulse and treat them, the beggars didn't immediately swarm over, but were somewhat hesitant.

After all, they wouldn't die of hunger immediately if they didn't have food, but letting a young girl like Yun Qiyue treat them might result in death.

Just then, a half-grown boy suddenly pounced fiercely toward Yun Qiyue...
