Chapter 614: A Greater Pursuit!

Logically speaking, as a young lady of a noble family, it would be impossible for Lu Su to be so impolite and say such things.

However, she could not help it; having realized she was not dead, she was burning with impatience.

She could not wait to find Yi Yi Xiaochuan, tell him the news that she was still alive, and then rekindle their past relationship.

Su Xuan watched as Lu Su hurried away. He did not stop her, nor was he angry at her rudeness. He watched her leave quietly, then turned around, returned to the house, and began to tinker with medicinal herbs.

These herbs were all freshly gathered by him in the mountains.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world was even inferior to the previous one. Although Su Xuan’s Primordial Spirit contained extremely powerful strength, the efficiency of using the Primordial Spirit to connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too low. Therefore, to improve the strength of this temporary body, he returned to doing something he had done long ago.

He practiced the technique of "Ingestion."

While using the Ingestion technique to improve his physical strength, Su Xuan could not help but think of Lu Su, who had hurried away.

"As expected, Yi Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao should be off searching for Tangwu Mountain by now, so Lu Su is destined to return empty-handed!"

The facts were as Su Xuan had anticipated.

After leaving the valley where Su Xuan resided and confirming her location, Lu Su quickly headed toward the place where she and Yi Yi Xiaochuan had once lived. However, when she arrived, the place had long been deserted.

She went to the restaurant where Gao Yao worked to look for him, only to find that Gao Yao had long since left.

Cui Cui Wenzi was also nowhere to be found.

This left Lu Su feeling a wave of disappointment.

Back in Peixian, when Yi Yi Xiaochuan followed Liu Bang away, she at least knew where he was going.

But now?

She didn't even know Yi Yi Xiaochuan's whereabouts; where was she supposed to look for him?

Should she turn back to Peixian?

She had run away in secret this time. If she went back, she would certainly be scolded by her father and sister. But if she didn't go back, where could she go?

Lu Su was at a loss.

Finally, for some reason, she thought of that previous valley and could not help but feel a sense of guilt.

That gentleman had saved her, yet she had fled without even saying a word to him. To this day, she didn't even know his name.

Lu Su suddenly had an idea.

She searched for the whereabouts of Yi Yi Xiaochuan and the others for a while longer, and after confirming they had truly left, she returned to the earlier valley.

The valley was incredibly quiet.

With a heart full of trepidation, Lu Su stepped into the cave and caught the scent of faint medicinal fragrance. ===== CHAPTER 995 =====

She walked closer and saw Su Xuan preparing some strange herbs in front of several clay pots.

"Sir, are you making medicine?" After a moment of hesitation, Lu Su asked Su Xuan.

Su Xuan did not turn around, as if he knew who had come, and asked indifferently, "Did you find the person you were looking for?"

Lu Su was stunned when she heard this. She had not expected this mysterious gentleman to know what she had gone to do.

After coming to her senses, she said softly to Su Xuan, "No, they have already left!"

"Is that so!"

Su Xuan nodded gently while fiddling with the herbs in his hands. "Then have you decided where to go next?"

This question left Lu Su feeling lost again.

She had thought about it before, and it was precisely because she could not find an answer that she had returned here.

"It seems you haven't decided yet." Su Xuan added, "Since you don't know where to go for the time being, just stay here with me!"

Lu Su looked at Su Xuan in surprise. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said to him, "Thank you, Sir, for taking me in!"

"It is nothing!"

Su Xuan appeared very carefree.

In the following period, Lu Su lived in this secluded valley.

Her daily meals were prepared for her by this gentleman named "Su Xuan," which made Lu Su feel somewhat guilty.

This Mr. Su had saved her, and not only could she not repay him, but she was also causing him to take care of her daily needs.

Finally, on this day.

Lu Su felt she could not go on like this, so she took the initiative to express her guilt and asked Mr. Su to give her some tasks, so that she could at least help him and repay his kindness.

"If that is the case, you can help me organize the herbs!"

Su Xuan said indifferently after hearing Lu Su's words.

Just like that, Su Xuan gained a medicine apprentice.

0 ········Seeking flowers···· ····

Although called an apprentice, in reality, Lu Su knew nothing about herbs, and she was completely ignorant of the way of medicine; it was mostly Su Xuan guiding her.

But Lu Su had one good quality: she was diligent.

She knew she was slow-witted, but to repay Mr. Su, she was willing to learn.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness.

Through her diligence and eagerness to learn, she memorized the names, appearances, and properties of herb after herb. She was finally no longer a complete novice.

It was also after she became initially familiar with the herbs that Su Xuan began to teach her about compounding medicine and various medical theories.

According to Su Xuan's words:

You nearly died from contracting the plague, so you can understand the feelings of those suffering from the plague better than ordinary people.

0

The world is vast, and countless people die from sudden illnesses.

Since you were lucky enough to save your life, you should study medicine diligently to save the sick.

Upon hearing these words from Su Xuan, Lu Su could not help but be moved, and subsequently, she became even more serious about studying medicine.

She did not know that Su Xuan teaching her medicine was merely to give her something to do.

As a woman, should her mind only be filled with romance? No, there are greater things in this world than romance. Lu Su's life should not be bound by that scumbag Yi Yi Xiaochuan; she should have a greater pursuit, and her life ought to be more brilliant.

Only by being more brilliant could she live up to the fact that she had survived!

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Su had stayed in this secluded valley for over a month.

During this month, Su Xuan continuously taught her medical skills.

Lu Su also gradually realized Su Xuan's mysterious nature.

First, Su Xuan did not know where he obtained large quantities of herbs; second, he was always able to procure food; besides that, he would occasionally reveal miraculous and profound techniques.

This made Lu Su realize that she had encountered a legendary master, a man of wonders.

If at first Su Xuan had asked her to organize herbs just to give her something to do, then as time passed, she gradually realized his painstaking efforts—Mr. Su was truly teaching her medicine.

She grew increasingly respectful toward Su Xuan. ===== CHAPTER 996 =====
