Chapter 40 The Big Blunder

Situ Yunfeng was speechless.

He didn't understand why Ye Lingyuan refused a Great Revival Pill that could clearly resolve his injuries. Had he grown accustomed to being tormented by the Moonlit Glazed Glass over the years?

Thinking of the Moonlit Glazed Glass, Situ Yunfeng couldn't help but transmit his voice again, asking, "Has the Moonlit Glazed Glass within you been resolved?"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Lingyuan's eyes, and he transmitted back, "No!"

"Then what about her?"

Situ Yunfeng glanced in the direction of Zi Linling.

"I don't know! Perhaps she... is an exception."

Ye Lingyuan looked at Zi Linling, who was deep in thought, his gaze inscrutable.

"An exception?"

Situ Yunfeng was a little surprised. He had studied the Moonlit Glazed Glass for a long time, and besides knowing that this poison originated from ancient times, he had no clue.

"Mm! She seems to be able to suppress the Moonlit Glazed Glass, or rather, the Moonlit Glazed Glass fears her."

"Ah?"

Situ Yunfeng was even more astonished. In ancient times, it was always humans who feared poison; how could poison fear a person?

"Ah Yuan, are you joking?"

Ye Lingyuan replied flatly, "No!"

Situ Yunfeng was immediately at a loss for words.

He was already at the peak of being a physician, only one step away from becoming a junior alchemist, yet he had never heard of such a miraculous thing.

Situ Yunfeng stopped transmitting his voice, and Ye Lingyuan, finally having some peace, looked at Zi Linling with curiosity, as if she were an inexhaustible treasure.

Zi Linling frowned and pondered for a moment, then had no choice but to turn to Ye Liuxing again.

"Can I use Xueying's room again?"

She was somewhat helpless. Ye Lingyuan's condition required immediate attention and was not suitable for moving.

Never mind, she would compensate Ye Liuxing later.

Ye Liuxing's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Of course! Sister Zi, you can use it anytime!"

He was overjoyed in his heart.

Zi Linling's previous disappointment and distance had made him feel at a loss. Now that he finally had a chance to impress her, he agreed without thinking.

Zi Linling smiled charmingly, "Thank you! I think Xueying should be awake by now, so we can use that place to suture his wounds."

As she spoke, she pointed at Ye Lingyuan with her finger.

Ye Liuxing looked at Ye Lingyuan, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that the reason Zi Linling was asking him again was for Ye Lingyuan.

However, since there was an opportunity to be helpful, how could Ye Liuxing refuse?

As long as Zi Linling would pay attention to him again, let alone using a room, he would even be willing to rob and kill.

But this was destined to be Ye Liuxing's wishful thinking. How could he know that Zi Linling was merely forced by circumstances?

"Sister Zi, there's no need to be so polite with me!"

Ye Liuxing regained his harmless, boy-next-door appearance. However, some things, once they happened, could never go back to how they were.

Zi Linling smiled again and said, "Regardless, I should thank you."

Ye Liuxing's heart skipped a beat; this tone clearly indicated a continued distance.

Never mind, today was not appropriate. He would explain slowly later.

He stepped aside and said, "Sister Zi, please!"

Zi Linling's icy gaze fell on Situ Yunfeng, and she said coldly, "Carry him and follow me!"

Situ Yunfeng was taken aback. He pointed to his nose, then to Ye Lingyuan, and asked, "You want me to carry him?"

"Yes! Given your relationship, if you don't carry him, should I?"

Zi Linling recalled their earlier whispered exchanges and nearly blurted out the term "cut sleeve."

But she didn't realize that her tone carried a hint of sourness.

"Our relationship? Alright! Little Lingling, I'll carry him, okay?"

Situ Yunfeng was stunned again, then walked towards Ye Lingyuan with a sense of helplessness.

He and Ye Lingyuan were brothers. Now that Ye Lingyuan was injured, it was not unreasonable for him to carry him.

Hearing Situ Yunfeng call her "Little Lingling," Zi Linling's skin crawled. She glared at him and warned, "Don't call me Little Lingling!"

Ye Lingyuan, seeing Situ Yunfeng approaching him, exuded a rapid chill.

"I can walk myself!"

He warned Situ Yunfeng with a look and then stood up.

However, due to excessive blood loss and having sat for too long, he felt dizzy upon standing. Coincidentally, he stumbled in the direction of Zi Linling.

Of course, this angle was calculated by Ye Lingyuan.

Zi Linling saw Ye Lingyuan falling towards her and instinctively reached out to catch him.

Fortunately, Ye Lingyuan's falling speed was not fast, giving Zi Linling enough time to react.

Zi Linling caught Ye Lingyuan in time, and Ye Lingyuan took the opportunity to lean his entire body weight on Zi Linling. He closed his eyes and "fell asleep."

Zi Linling looked at the "unconscious" Ye Lingyuan and said helplessly, "Even in this state, he's still trying to be strong!"

She called out to Situ Yunfeng, "Aren't you coming to carry your little lover?"

Little lover? What little lover?

Situ Yunfeng was completely bewildered.

Zi Linling didn't notice that Ye Lingyuan, leaning on her, had a pale face that had turned as dark as soy sauce.

Ye Liuxing, who was ready to lead the way, was stunned, then a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Ji Ran's face twitched. He thought to himself, "This woman really dares to say anything!"

Zi Linling looked at Situ Yunfeng's expression, a hint of confusion appearing on her face. Had she guessed wrong?

"What? You're not together?"

Ye Lingyuan, who had "fainted," emanated chilling energy, but it bypassed Zi Linling and shot directly towards Situ Yunfeng.

Along with this chilling energy came Ye Lingyuan's icy transmission, "Situ, do you think I should kill you, or should I kill you!"

Situ Yunfeng finally came back to his senses. His mouth twitched violently, and then he smiled bitterly, bowing repeatedly to Zi Linling.

"My dear ancestor, please spare this young master! Ah Yuan and I are just brothers. Don't harm this young master!"

At the same time, he didn't forget to transmit to Ye Lingyuan, "Ah Yuan! You misunderstood. This young master didn't do anything!"

Seeing that she had caused a big misunderstanding, Zi Linling felt both amused and exasperated, but at the same time, she was relieved.

As for why, she didn't know. But upon learning that Ye Lingyuan was not interested in men, a hint of joy surfaced in her heart.

However, Ye Lingyuan was not so easily appeased. He transmitted to Situ Yunfeng, "Didn't do anything? What else do you want to do? It seems I should still kill you!"

Situ Yunfeng was on the verge of tears and transmitted to Ye Lingyuan, "Ah Yuan, don't be rash. This really isn't my fault!"

At the same time, he said to Zi Linling, "Little Lingling, little aunt, please don't harm me anymore!"
