Chapter 1252: Chapter 1253 Finally Together (2)
"Alright, alright, Master promises that I won’t keep anything from you in the future. Don’t be mad, Girl Qing, look at you, you’re about to get married, yet you still have such a childish temper, making this little girl laugh at you! By the way, Girl Qing, is this little girl the apprentice you took in?"
Looking at Yin Xilin standing behind An Yiqing, Ye Chenghong suddenly remembered that yesterday Ah Mi and Dashan told him that An Yiqing had taken in a clever and lively young disciple. He looked at Yin Xilin’s big black-and-white eyes revealing stubbornness and determination, and immediately liked her at first glance.
"Lingling, this is your Master’s Master, your Grandmaster, and also the leader of the Medicine Sect. You must be a hundred times more respectful to your Grandmaster than to your Master, do you understand?"
Yin Xilin glanced at An Yiqing and then at Ye Chenghong. Grandmaster? Master’s Master? Is he the person who raised my Master?
Hmm... Then she must show him great filial respect!
"Hello, Grandmaster! My name is Yin Xilin!"
Yin Xilin’s straightforward greeting made Ye Chenghong beam with joy. He squatted down and affectionately patted Yin Xilin’s little head, his eyes full of love.
"Yin Xilin, great name! From now on, I’ll call you Little Girl Lingling. Study well with your Master; her medical arts are even more impressive than those of your Grandmaster now!"
"Master, what are you saying? How can I compare to your expertise?"
An Yiqing shook her head with a smile. In the Medicine Sect, if Ye Chenghong claimed second place in medical arts, no one would dare claim first. Even though she inherited Shennong Shi’s legacy, she dared not boast, as Ye Chenghong’s experience and skill in medicine had reached a perfect, masterful state—well beyond the reach of a little fledgling like An Yiqing.
"Senior Brother, prepare everything; tomorrow, let Little Girl Lingling formally enroll into the Medicine Sect!"
Upon receiving Ye Chenghong’s orders, the Great Elder nodded with a smile and turned away.
The Medicine Sect hadn’t had such a joyful occasion for a long time. The news of An Yiqing taking in a highly talented and clever apprentice soon spread throughout the entire Medicine Sect.
After everything was settled, An Yiqing and Ye Chenghong, the master and disciple, had an in-depth conversation. In addition to discussing how to treat Ye Chenghong’s hair, there were secrets An Yiqing had never known, such as... Guh Siyi’s identity.
An Yiqing remembered clearly; back then, she was still Xiao Yu with amnesia, and Am Mi took her shopping for clothes in Xuandu City, where they happened to encounter Guh Siyi and Huang Yiyi. Huang Yiyi’s "Senior Sister" was heard clearly by An Yiqing.
Huang Yiyi and Shi Yimeng have a senior-junior relationship, and Guh Siyi is her senior sister, so she is also from the Poison Medicine Sect.
"Guh Siyi is from the Poison Medicine Sect; why did that old fellow Guh Tian never mention this? It’s not something disgraceful!" Ye Chenghong was puzzled.
"Perhaps Guh Tian didn’t want to hide it; maybe Guh Siyi even deceived him. Master, Guh Siyi’s identity is more complex than we imagined. She’s practicing the Guh Family’s forbidden technique and is a disciple of the Poison Medicine Sect. She might have an unusual relationship with Yu Hai too. I think following the clues on Guh Siyi might lead us to uncover the secrets of the Poison Medicine Sect and Yu Hai."
"Hmm, you make a good point. I’ll have people keep a close watch on Guh Siyi and the Poison Medicine Sect’s movements. Girl Qing, your eyesight is not good; it’s best to go out with a few companions. If you can act with Dashan, try not to be alone. This time when you disappeared, the one who suffered most was Dashan. You didn’t see how thin he became—he was so frightening that we were all worried. Anyway, you have no immediate assignments; you two should rest well and relax. Don’t worry about your eyes; I believe it’s due to overuse of your Clairvoyant Eye. Observe for a while and see if there will be any improvement."
