328. Chapter 328: If You Can't Speak, Don't Speak

"What!"

Qiao Sheng was shocked.

Ouyang Zhi looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Wuya Elder who treated Shi Lin is the very Qi Xing who killed people back then."

She took his pulse at a glance, showing she knows this person well.

Could there be some hatred between them?

Qiao Sheng spoke up and asked, "Grandma Ouyang, what should we do now?"

"Take Shi Lin and go find the medicine; I'll go find people for you."

Ouyang Zhi said.

They saw her off.

Qiao Sheng went to Shi Lin's room and asked him whether he had heard of Qi Xing.

Shi Lin was startled and asked, "Qiao Sheng, why bring him up? I've heard of this person; they say he can revive dead flesh and white bone."

Qiao Sheng relayed what Ouyang Zhi had said to Shi Lin.

Shi Lin said after listening, "I indeed have a little over a month left. I was badly injured then; the Wuya Elder gave me a strong medicine to keep me alive. He also gave me a bottle of medicine; with it I can live another three months on top of this."

Before Qiao Sheng could speak,

Shi Lin opened his mouth and said, "Grandma Ouyang, there must be some past with the Wuya Elder. Qiao Sheng, I don't trust Shi Jin and his men; don't go, stay home and look after them. As for Heavenly Clothing Grass, An Jiu and I will go find it."

Qiao Sheng spoke plainly.

"If you don't trust them, I trust you even less; I can't possibly not go."

Everything was arranged.

Qiao Sheng and Shi Lin boarded the carriage driven by An Yi; as for An Jiu's group, except for An Liu and An Shi, the rest went with them to look for Heavenly Clothing Grass.

From the moment they set out,

Qiao Sheng periodically gave Shi Lin Spirit Spring Water to drink.

Qiao Sheng now only hoped that the Spirit Spring Water could improve Shi Lin's condition.

The Qingbei region was about a month's journey from their town; to arrive sooner, they traveled especially fast, even marching at night.

Shi Lin had a pass for travel, so that wasn't an issue, but the speed at night had to be slower.

It took them roughly twenty‑five days to reach Qingbei City.

Shi Lin didn't know whether it was because the poison this time was too strong; the Spirit Spring Water Qiao Sheng fed him had some effect, but it didn't clear much of the toxin in his body, and his eyes still couldn't see.

They found an inn and settled there.

Qiao Sheng let An Jiu stay behind to protect Shi Lin; they and An Yi's group rode toward the mountain Ouyang Zhi had mentioned.

When Shi Lin found out, they had already left the town.

"Why didn't you tell me!"

"No, I'm going!"

An Jiu pinned Shi Lin down as he sat and said, "Master, what's your condition now? Don't you know? You know how dangerous the mountain is; if you go along, you might not even be able to help, and could even hinder everyone…"

Shi Lin was instantly speechless.

After a while Shi Lin said, "I can take care of myself; you go help them."

An Jiu said, "Master, stop messing around. Miss Qiao told me not to leave you, nor let you run around; otherwise she'll come back and deal with me."

Hearing that,

Shi Lin said irritably, "Is she your master, or am I?"

"You're about to marry her; does it matter? Aren't you both our masters…"

An Jiu's words had just finished.

Shi Lin kicked out a foot and said, "I intend to marry her, but I haven't yet…"

An Jiu murmured, "Master, do you mean we shouldn't treat Miss Qiao as our master?"

It was also because Qiao Sheng wasn't here.

If she were here.

What would one think upon hearing that?

Shi Lin, angry, wanted to punch him: "Shut up! If you can't speak, don't speak!"
