Chapter 169 Meeting an acquaintance again
The teleportation array directly reached the market outside the Cheng family's mountain gate. In half a day, Cheng Shuyan had arrived at the Cheng family from the Hidden World Sect.
After meeting her parents, she took the Cold Flame Soul-Melting Flower and went straight to Shen Yunjian.
The head of the Shen family has returned to the Shen family, but Shen Yunjian stayed in the Cheng family for a full year to help Lin Yuan recover from his injuries.
When Shen Yunjian saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he noticed her condition the next moment and asked worriedly:
"Ayan, what happened to you? Why are you injured so badly?"
Cheng Shuyan hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Shen, I just have the aftereffects of taking the Blood Burning Pill. I'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."
When she met her parents just now, they were also very worried. They were not relieved until they both checked her condition and confirmed that her foundation was not damaged.
Shen Yunjian was still worried and said in a serious tone, "Sit down, I'll take a look at you first!"
"Okay, thank you very much, Brother Shen." Cheng Shuyan agreed reluctantly.
After Shen Yunjian carefully took her pulse, he felt relieved, but his expression was still a little serious.
"Your injury is not just a side effect of taking the Blood Burning Pill. Your internal organs must have been severely damaged.
Although he had taken healing pills and was slowly healing, he still had many hidden injuries.
You won't see any results in the short term, but over time, it will be extremely detrimental to your cultivation."
"So powerful?" Cheng Shuyan asked in surprise.
Unexpectedly, even Cheng Huaixu and his wife didn't notice anything wrong with her, but Shen Yunjian did.
As expected of a Dan cultivator, he is indeed professional in this area.
"Then I believe our Doctor Shen must have a way to solve these hidden dangers for me, right?"
She winked mischievously at Shen Yunjian, her tone playful.
She rarely had such a mischievous look on her face. Shen Yunjian was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Don't think I won't scold you just because you say a few nice words!" He pretended to be angry and said in a fierce tone.
"Since this is your first offense, I'll help you this time. If you get yourself into this situation again, I'll charge you for the consultation!"
As he spoke fiercely, he buried his head in writing the prescription.
"It's best to slowly recuperate in your condition. The elixir in this recipe is not difficult to find.
Buy these elixirs according to the recipe, and I will boil them into liquid medicine for you. You can take a medicinal bath in it once every half a month.
In about half a year, most of the hidden injuries in your body should be eliminated."
Cheng Shuyan took the prescription he wrote and took a look at it. They were indeed some basic spiritual herbs with healing properties, and she could even gather most of them in her space.
"Thank you, Brother Shen." She sincerely thanked Shen Yunjian.
Although she has known Shen Yunjian for so many years and they have not met often, in Cheng Shuyan's heart, Shen Yunjian has already become her close friend.
Shen Yunjian has helped her so much that she doesn't know how to repay him.
"Between you and me, why should I thank you?" Shen Yunjian looked at her serious expression, and there seemed to be a flash of disappointment in his eyes, but Cheng Shuyan didn't see it clearly.
Her problem was solved, and the next problem was Lin Yuan's.
His injury has been relatively stable over the past year. There have been several relapses, but they were all stabilized by Shen Yunjian.
However, the Soul-Enriching Pill is a fourth-grade elixir, and Shen Yunjian is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he cannot refine it.
The raw materials could only be sent to the Shen family, and his father would refine them into pills and then send them back to the Cheng family.
On the second day, the housekeeper set off for the Shen family with the alchemy materials.
Shen Yunjian had nothing to do, and she would wait until Lin Yuan recovered before she could go into seclusion, so she simply took Shen Yunjian out for a few days.
After touring the Cheng family's house from top to bottom, the two of them set their sights on going to the market.
I heard that there is a restaurant in the market outside the gate of Chengjia Mountain, and they have roasted rabbit, which is their signature dish.
The owner of the restaurant even boasted that even if an immortal came and ate their roasted rabbit, he would not be able to return to the immortal world!
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the restaurant, the waiter came up to greet them warmly and said skillfully, "Dear guests, please go to the private room!"
"How do you know we are going to the private room?" Cheng Shuyan asked curiously.
They didn't show any intention of going to the private room. Does this waiter have such good eyesight?
The waiter chuckled and looked at the corner of her clothes and said, "Hey, dear guest, there is a mark of the Cheng family's inner door on the corner of your clothes. Naturally, our shop will not neglect you!"
It turned out to be the case.
Cheng Shuyan suddenly realized that after she came back, Jian Qing gave her several sets of robes, but she didn't pay much attention to them.
She looked down and saw that the logo of the Cheng family's inner gate was indeed embroidered on the corner of her clothes.
The two of them entered the private room under the guidance of the waiter. After ordering the dishes, they waited boredly for them to be served.
Although it is a private room, it is actually just separated by a screen, so if someone is talking nearby, they can naturally hear it.
They were both looking forward to the food being served and no one spoke.
After a while, before the dishes were served, she heard two familiar voices coming from the private room next door.
She first heard the sound of two people ordering food, and then Cen Pianpian's vicious voice sounded.
"Where on earth did that bitch Cheng Mingshu go? We've been here for almost a month, why haven't we seen her yet?"
Then Zhao Ziyi said in a slightly restrained voice: "Junior Sister Cen, don't worry, it is common for cultivators to go into seclusion. Maybe Cheng Mingshu is practicing in seclusion?
It's not a long-term solution for us to stay here, why don't we go back first?"
"Humph, just do your own thing, it's not your turn to meddle in my affairs!
I asked you to poison her before, but did you do it?"
Even Shen Yunjian could hear the disgust in her tone.
He frowned and whispered to Cheng Shuyan, "Even after all this, this man can still help her wholeheartedly?"
He knew that Cheng Shuyan's name in the Cheng family was Cheng Mingshu, and he understood that the person mentioned in the private room next door was her.
However, there was nothing unusual about Cheng Shuyan, so he didn't need to worry about anything and could just watch the show with peace of mind.
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help laughing at his words. He pursed his lips and shook his head at him, motioning him to continue listening.
After a while, the two heard Zhao Ziyi's calm voice again:
"I will not delay what Junior Sister Cen has instructed me to do. I already completed it a year ago when I came with Elder Zhao to discuss marriage."
"Hmph, you know what's going on!"
Then Cen Pianpian began to mock and dislike Zhao Ziyi in various ways. Even Cheng Shuyan felt that Zhao Ziyi would be letting her off easy by killing Cen Pianpian.
She finally understood why Zhao Ziyi had sought cooperation with her a year ago. Given Cen Pianpian's personality, it was truly remarkable that Zhao Ziyi had endured until now.
Not long after, Cen Pianpian seemed to be angered by Zhao Ziyi and left the restaurant before the dishes were served.
Zhao Ziyi had no choice but to call the waiter to settle the bill and then leave.
