Into the World of Medicine

“Wenwen, enough! This is how we teach you at home?” Chen Xianbin rebuked Chen Wenwen and then he looked at Murong Qingyan, “It"s just we smelt this aroma from far away, my sister kept saying it must be someone who is grilling meat, and we just kept teasing her. That"s why she was overexcited when she saw you, again, I apologized on her behalf.”

Murong Qingyan smiled, but not at Chen Xianbin, she smiled at the meat in her hand. They were golden brown now, looked perfect.

She cut the biggest piece into smaller pieces and put them on clean leaves in front of Xiaobai.

Xiaobai squinted its eyes and sniffed hard, with that it dived in, "onomnomnom".

Murong Qingyan was happy that Xiaobai enjoyed the meat so much. She cut the other piece of meat into smaller pieces and handed them to Huangfu Jue, Murong Qingyan did that purely for politeness, she was quite sure Huangfu Jue was practising inedia and didn"t need food to survive.

To her surprise, Huangfu Jue"s eyes sparkled when he noticed Murong Qingyan handed him the meat.

Murong Qingyan smiled as a reply, she was a bit surprised, but she didn"t dwell on that. She picked herself a piece and began to eat.

Chen Xianbin looked so embarra.s.sed being neglected like this.

“Excuse me, Miss, we really need something to eat, can you please sell us the rest of the meat?” Si Huang asked sincerely, “We"ve spent days in Gloomy Forest and the only thing we have eaten is Dan pills, please---”

The group had been starving for days, that was part of the reason why Chen Wenwen acted so over excitedly when she saw Murong Qingyan grilling meat.

“You can grill some if you like to.” Murong Qingyan said with indifference.

Butler Chen nodded at Murong Qingyan and went to take care of the meat.

Chen Xianbin had been casting Chen Wenwen warning looks for he knew Chen Wenwen had a lot to say to Murong Qingyan, Chen Wenwen was so mad but she dared not upset Chen Xianbin.

Chen Wenwen kept peeking at Huangfu Jue and exclaiming in her heart that how handsome Huangfu Jue was.

Huangfu Jue didn"t use even five percent of his strength when he attacked Chen Wenwen, Chen Xianbin instilled some Internal Chi to Chen Wenwen"s body, soon her cheeks looked rosy again.

Butler Chen made a fire and started to grill the meat, and soon the group was served.

The thing was Butler Chen wasn"t the best chef, so they kept peeking at Murong Qingyan"s meat the whole time.

Xiaobai had such a great time eating one chunk after another, it kept asking for more after Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue both stopped eating. Murong Qingyan just looked at Xiaobai with a content smile, but it baffled her how could a fur ball like Xiaobai could consume so much food.

“Master, I forgot to mention something important to you.” Xiaobai communicated with Murong Qingyan in the s.p.a.ce.

Murong Qingyan replied casually, “What is it? Are you trying to tell me you want more food?”

“Aiya, that"s not the case.” Xiaobai replied shyly, “It"s about those uninvited guests. Chen Xianbin and Chen Wenwen, I think they are related yo you.”

“What?” Murong Qingyan sprang to her feet, her eyes were wide open like she had seen something horrible.

Everyone else was shocked to see Murong Qingyan reacting like that, they wondered what had happened, even Huangfu Jue cast a few glimpse at Murong Qingyan.

But Huangfu Juedidn"t ask Murong Qingyan any questions, he just narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaobai who was nestling in Murong Qingyan"s chest.

Murong Qingyan realized her gaffe, she took a deep breath and sat down like nothing had happened.

“Xiaobai, what do you mean related? As in blood relation? As in kinsmen?” Murong Qingyan asked, “Tell me everything you have seen, are they like my siblings that I don"t know of?”

Murong Qingyan shuddered on thinking about that possibility.

“Master, what are you talking about?” Xiaobai couldn"t believe Murong Qingyan would think it that way, “Master, I mean they are probably some family member from your mother"s side, I mean the original owner of your body, have you forgotten Murong Qingyan"s mother"s family name? Chen.”

"Yeah, Chen Ruoshui is Murong Qingyan"s mother"s name." thought Murong Qingyan.

“Are they from my mother"s family? But I always thought my mother was the only one left in her family.”

“Master, everyone has a family, your mother tended to not mention them, that"s all.”

Murong Qingyan was overwhelmed by the possibility, “But Xiaobai, they don"t look like that are just some regular folks from some regular family, I"m sure there"s no family like them in the entire Jialuo.”

“Shall we sound them out?”

“No, Xiaobai.” Murong Qingyan said abruptly, “There must be a reason why mother had never mentioned about her maiden family. I"m not as competent as them at the moment, I cannot afford to confront them if there are some facts that they wish to hide.”

Xiaobai nodded in silence.
