A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 406 Enemies from the Past Life

At night, Sanxiu Pharmacy finally returned to peace. The front and back yards of the pharmacy were severely damaged, but fortunately the accommodation building was safe and sound, and everyone still had a place to rest.

Xiuming came out of the room on the small road. After he walked away, Guo Ying, who had been hiding secretly nearby, hurriedly tiptoed in.

"Guo Ying? How can a girl like you enter a man's room so late at night?" Rong Fan, who stayed in the room to watch over the path, frowned and said in surprise when he saw Guo Ying breaking in.

"I'm here to see Brother Xiaolu. How is he? Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Guo Ying, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, didn't care at all about what Rong Fan said. She walked around him and came to Xiaolu, asking worriedly.

"Don't worry, the master said Xiaolu is fine, but it's hard to say when he will wake up." Rong Fan shook his head helplessly and comforted Guo Ying.

Guo Ying did not respond, but squatted beside the bed and looked at the sleeping Xiaolu, her eyes welling up.

"How come this kid is so weak when he's really skilled? They both got hit by a palm strike, but Master Zeng woke up a long time ago. But Guo Ying, when did Xiaolu learn martial arts? Why haven't we discovered it before?" Without waiting for Guo Ying's reply, Rong Fan on the side also looked at Xiaolu in confusion.

"What do you mean, they both got hit by a palm? Didn't you see he bumped into the rockery? That must have hurt a lot. He must have hit his head, which is why he hasn't woken up yet. wuwuwu..." Rong Fan had just finished speaking when Guo Ying suddenly frowned and yelled at him. But as she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears sadly.

"Oh, okay, okay, I was wrong. I said something wrong. Please don't cry!" Seeing Guo Ying burst into tears, Rong Fan was frightened and helpless. He hurriedly waved his hands to comfort her.

But Guoying couldn't hear a word at this time. She lay on the bed and cried even harder, until a hand gently stroked her head, and then a familiar but weak voice sounded in her ears:

"You little girl, I'm not dead, why are you crying beside my bed?"

"Xiaolu, you...you're awake!" Rong Fan, who was the first to react, shouted with joy, and then ran out to find Mr. Da and Miss Yao.

"You finally woke up!" Guo Ying raised her head with tears in her eyes and saw Xiaolu blinking at her. She couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and cried with joy.

Under such pressure from Guo Ying, the weak Xiaolu no longer had the strength to speak. He could only raise his hand, pat her back and smile gently.

There was bright candlelight in the tea room. Yu Cheng and several secret guards were waiting outside. Sanxiu stared at Yan Zong, who was sitting cold and indifferent beside him, with her big eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing Si Yao coming back, Yan Zong naturally stayed at the medicine shop, and only let Ji Wu lead the armored troops back to the barracks. Even though Sanxiu knew the purpose of the prince's stay, he couldn't drive him out, after all, he just solved a crisis for the medicine shop.

Just as the tea room was silent, the door was gently pushed open. Seeing Xiuming coming back, Sanxiu hurriedly asked:

"Are these kids all right? Xiaolu hasn't woken up yet?"

"Although there was no danger today, it was also a busy day. They were all exhausted and went to bed early. Xiaolu just woke up and his pulse is stable. Rong Fan is looking after him." Xiu Ming first bowed to his master and the prince, then sat aside and replied slowly.

"Where is Xiao Chenlin? He must have been pretty scared today." Sanxiu nodded in relief and continued to ask with concern.

"He is young and was indeed frightened. My junior sister is with him." Xiu Ming continued to smile.

When Si Yao was mentioned, Yan Zong raised his eyes slightly with an expressionless face. It was already dark after Yingmen left, and the people in the pharmacy were busy with the aftermath. He had no chance to talk to her, and he didn't even see her during dinner.

"Have Xuanyu and the other three been settled?" Sanxiu sighed and asked again.

After today's commotion, not only was he unable to welcome his apprentice who had just returned from traveling medicine, he didn't even get to say a few words to him. Now that the prince was here, Sanxiu naturally didn't want Si Yao to come over and be stuck with this annoying guy.

"Master, don't worry. Everything has been settled. Mr. Zeng suffered serious internal injuries. I have just given him medicine." Xiu Ming also replied.

"I'll give him acupuncture tomorrow." Sanxiu nodded, and after drinking half a sip of tea, he glanced at Yan Zong, but couldn't help but remind him: "We agreed that you came to help the medicine shop this time to repay me for saving your life. My apprentice Si Yao has no knowledge of it and doesn't need to accept your favor. Don't try to use this matter to threaten her in the future."

"Blackmail?" Yan Zong raised his eyebrows in displeasure, still looking at Sanxiu with a cold face and said, "Mr. Sanxiu, have you ever seen me threaten Si Yao? Besides, if I really want to threaten you, why would I need to use favors?"

"Hmph, that's true. A dignified prince has plenty of power, so why would he care about favors? You haven't threatened A Yao, but you did use your power to threaten me once!" Sanxiu also snorted coldly and glanced at the other party with contempt.

Yan Zong was speechless for a moment and did not say anything else. He was just annoyed by Sanxiu's words. Although they were threats, they were mostly spoken in anger. He didn't expect that the old man still remembered them.

"You say today that you won't threaten A Yao, but who can guarantee that you won't go crazy in the future? You are a prince who is high above and has a large army. We common people are just small ants under your tremendous power. How much patience do you have to treat ants?" Seeing that Yan Zong didn't say anything, Sanxiu thought that he was guilty, so he began to sneer smugly again.

Seeing that his master was about to argue with the prince again, Xiu Ming at the side sighed helplessly. They were truly enemies in their previous lives!

"Even though you have divorced Princess Liang Ling, I still say the same thing. You and A Yao are too different in status and you are not a good match. If she marries into your clan prince Gao's mansion in the future, she will probably have difficulty leaving. If you really love her, you shouldn't let her follow in your mother's footsteps." Without waiting for Yan Zong to speak, Sanxiu suddenly put away his smug look and continued to speak seriously.

"I have also said that Si Yao is different from my mother, and I am not my father. She has never regarded herself as an ant willing to crawl on the ground. She is a doctor who can save the dying and the wounded and benefit the people. She has an independent and clear mind. How could my mother's tragedy happen to her again?" Yan Zong put down the teacup, looked at Sanxiu with a stern face and said.

"Yes, A Yao is indeed different from her senior sister, but I don't believe you!" Yan Zong said sincerely, but Sanxiu glared at him disapprovingly.

"Si Yao is not a three-year-old child. Even if Mr. San Xiu is Si Yao's master, he should respect her ideas instead of making decisions for her without authorization."

"Hey, you annoying brat!" Sanxiu was so angry that he threw the folding fan on the tea table towards Yan Zong who had already walked out of the tea room, but it was immediately blocked by Yu Cheng who was guarding the door. The fan hit the door with a clang and fell to the ground.

Seeing the two of them parting unhappily again, Xiu Ming sighed helplessly again and stood up to pick up the fan.

"Your Highness, Xiaolu's skills were exposed today. It seems he can't stay in the medicine shop anymore." Yu Cheng, who was following behind Yan Zong on the corridor, said worriedly.

"He had no choice but to do it under urgent circumstances. Not only will I not blame him, but I will reward him. I heard that he has woken up. You can go and check on him later." Yan Zong was concerned about Si Yao at this time, so he quickly said to Yu Cheng and strode towards Si Yao's room.

After only taking a few steps, he saw Si Yao coming towards him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Seeing this, the few people following behind him consciously disappeared into the corridor.

"Prince Zong." It was late at night and the place was quiet. Frogs were croaking and cicadas were chirping downstairs. There were only two figures in the empty corridor. Si Yao hesitated for a moment before slowly walking up to Yan Zong and bowed to him.

"Is your injury feeling better? Let me take a look." As soon as she appeared, Yan Zong's cold eyes melted instantly as if they had met fire, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. As soon as he finished speaking his concerned words, he wanted to step forward to check the wound on her neck, but Si Yao dodged him.

"They are all minor injuries. I have applied medicine and they are better now. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Si Yao bowed again to express his gratitude.

Seeing that she was still distant from him, Yan Zong withdrew his hand in disappointment and smiled slightly, "I'm glad you're okay. Why are you going to the teahouse to look for your master so late?"

"No, Si Yao is here to apologize to the king." Si Yao shook her head, then took two steps back and solemnly bowed three times to Yan Zong again, and continued nervously: "Today when facing the head of the Shadow Sect, Madam Honghua borrowed the king's reputation to save me in a hurry. It is inevitable that... it will cause trouble to the king in the future. Please forgive me, king."

"What reputation of mine did you borrow?" Although Si Yao did not say it explicitly, Yan Zong already knew about it. But now he pretended to be confused and teased her.

"The one who made the Shadow Sect leader hesitate is... is..." Si Yao finally found it difficult to say those words, so she sighed softly and pretended to be calm and said to Yan Zong: "The prince will definitely know in the future, I just hope that the prince will not believe the rumors easily. Goodbye!"

Looking at her hurriedly leaving, Yan Zong smiled bitterly.
