"It's fine. I’m doing great. The trouble is with those people. I poisoned them, and now they are busy running away." Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. She waved her hand casually to show she was unharmed. "But basically, we can confirm now that Master’s disappearance was planned. For the rest, we will look for evidence and clues slowly. One day, we will find Grandpa Yao and save him."
"En." Yu Qingyun rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Since that is the case, we can only take it step by step. In fact, being anxious won’t help."
"So, what do we do next?" Dong Bocao asked. Hearing that Old Man Yao was not in immediate danger, he felt relieved. A trace of relaxation appeared on his face.
"Grandpa Chun is recovering now. These five bodyguards also need care. So, I want to entrust these six people to Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother. The plane will arrive the day after tomorrow. You two will go as accompanying doctors to escort them back. As for safety, there is no need to worry. Brother Yan will arrange it." Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and spoke.
With so many injured people here, it was not a good solution. The best medical environment was still in the capital.
"What are you staying here for?" Qu Zhong asked.
"Grandpa Yao values patients greatly. I went to that village today and took the villagers' pulses. I have also picked some of the main herbs. So, Demon Senior Brother needs to stay with me to process the herbs. He must also help lead people to gather herbs while I make medicine. I plan to treat them the day after tomorrow." Zhu Yanyi answered seriously.
"Do you already know the cause of the illness?" Yu Qingyun asked.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "This bodyguard just explained Grandpa Yao’s judgment. I agree with it. They have this hereditary condition because they were cursed by a shaman. That shaman did not intend to kill them; she only wanted to warn them. However, by chance, they came here, causing this hereditary disease to continue. Since we found the cause, treating it is easier. So, I plan to stay here until the patients recover, and then leave."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi looked at Qu Zhong. She knew that as Second Senior Brother, Qu Zhong had significant authority here. She did not want to leave regrets for herself or Old Man Yao. So, staying here was inevitable.
Qu Zhong looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "Are you sure you want to stay here until the patients recover?"
"I am very sure and definite that I will stay here." Zhu Yanyi looked at Qu Zhong seriously. "Second Senior Brother, the villagers’ illness is actually not hard to cure."
Qu Zhong nodded. "Okay. But you must promise me to protect yourself. Master has disappeared. Before he returns, I do not want to hear that you have disappeared too."
Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously. "Second Senior Brother, rest assured. I will not let myself disappear. I still want to practice with you all." Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "I have thought about it. When there is a chance in the future, I want to visit the Miao region where you work. I want to see their medical techniques of fighting poison with poison. I also want to study many medicines to save more people. So, I will absolutely not let myself disappear."
"Just remember your words today." Qu Zhong knew that his junior sister’s medical talent was naturally higher than theirs. For someone with talent, the greater worry was becoming complacent during growth. Therefore, practical experience was the best way.
