Chapter 168 A Warm Embrace
Liu Ruxuan looked puzzled. Disciples who weren't chosen weren't allowed to go up there: "Youyou, Nanqing, are you making fun of me?"
“No, Nan Qing is telling the truth. That’s why we’re waiting for you here. Shan Yuebei left a long time ago,” Xia Qiyou said.
"I think I'd better not go. After all, I didn't participate in the disciple-acceptance ceremony, and I'm not any elder's disciple. If I go, it will cause controversy and dissatisfaction." Liu Ruxuan felt it was inappropriate.
"Sister Ruxuan, Master didn't say anything, so please don't mind." Nan Qing was even more looking forward to Liu Ruxuan moving in with them than Xia Qiyou.
"Nan Qing, Youyou, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't cause trouble for the Second Elder or for you two," Liu Ruxuan said with a smile. Then she added, "Don't worry, I'm doing fine here. Even without a master to teach me, I'm not necessarily worse than you. If you don't believe me, let's have a competition in a month?" As she spoke, Liu Ruxuan clenched her fist to show them how strong she was. Xia Qiyou and Nan Qing burst out laughing.
"Okay, Sister Ruxuan, you must take good care of yourself while we're away, and don't let yourself suffer any injustice." Xia Qiyou's eyes were glistening with tears.
"Silly girl, how could I let myself suffer? I would only let others suffer." Liu Ruxuan hugged Xia Qiyou, her heart filled with warmth.
"Sister Ruxuan, you can come to us if you need anything. You've always protected us before, and from now on, we'll protect you. Don't worry, we'll cultivate diligently and won't let you down." Nan Qing sniffled, feeling a little like crying.
"Alright, alright, you two crybaby kittens, go back now." Liu Ruxuan hugged Nan Qing again, feeling a little sad herself.
After seeing Xia Qiyou and Nan Qing off, Liu Ruxuan stared blankly at the moon outside the window.
Before Liu Ruxuan could react, she was pulled into a warm embrace. Her body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly relaxed.
"Xuan'er, don't cry."
Dugu Juechen's beautiful voice drifted over, and Liu Ruxuan thought to herself, "Such a beautiful voice, I could listen to it for a lifetime and never get tired of it."
"I didn't cry, I'm happy for them," Liu Ruxuan said quietly, snuggling her head into Dugu Juechen's arms.
Dugu Juechen gently patted Liu Ruxuan's back, sighed, and said, "Those two invited you to stay with them, why didn't you go?"
"You arranged this, didn't you? How could I possibly go?" Liu Ruxuan murmured, "If someone like me, who didn't even participate in the selection ceremony, suddenly moved into the Second Elder's Jinghua Palace, no one would be satisfied, and it wouldn't be fair to anyone."
"I'm worried about you being here alone." Dugu Juechen thoroughly enjoyed Liu Ruxuan's affection for him.
"You'll get used to it."
Dugu Juechen frowned slightly, deep in thought.
The next day, Xi Yue and Ye Liuli got up early and began to manage Yong Rentang.
Shortly after the door opened, a person staggered in, covered in blood. He collapsed from exhaustion as soon as he entered.
Ye Liuli was shocked and hurriedly called Xiyue and the others to carry the person inside.
During this time, while Liu Ruxuan was away, Ye Liuli studied medicine day and night and made some progress. She looked at the man covered in blood, her brows furrowed and her right eyelid twitching incessantly.
Seeing how badly the man was injured, Ye Liuli and the others became cautious and hurriedly carried him up to the second floor.
Ultimately, Xi Yue and the others lacked the necessary medical skills, so they had no choice but to send someone to invite members of the Pharmacist Association.
