Chapter 81.1 - She's here to buy soy sauce? (1)

(T/N: Title means along the lines of ‘someone who’s uninvolved just being there’, or to describe an excessive

person.)

Niu Jing and the others all somewhat shockingly looked to Du Xiao Li.

Du Xiao Li brightly smiled and said, “How would I know if someone wants to do something to the medicine, I’m

not a prophet. That’s why I lied about the medicine coated on the box.”

When Wang Ze heard, he angrily berated, “How can you be this black-hearted and crafty at such a young age!?

Deceiving Nuo’er like this, this scheming heart truly is impressive!”

“Junior brother Wang Ze, aren’t your words a little unreasonable?” Niu Jing angrily said when he heard Wang Ze’s

words. “Little junior sister was merely testing whether or not Nuo’er put poison in the medicine, how can that be

counted as being scheming? If one has to say scheming, one rather wants to ask Nuo’er, why did you want to do

something to this pill? If this really were to be given to the Grand Empress Dowager, then the aftermath would be

unthinkable!”

“Shigong, I didn’t do it on purpose, I wasn’t thinking of harming the Grand Empress Dowager, I was just, just………”

Fan Nuo’er looked to Hu Yi Jian’s gaze towards her. Inside was this unspoken understanding, her thoughts, how

could he, someone who has one foot in a coffin, not understand?

“Nuo’er, earlier, I gave you a chance. If from the start, you confessed, I would have had this matter covered up for

you. At most, punish you after we return. But………” Hu Yi Jian heartbrokenly said.

Hu Yi Jian’s words, everyone all understood. Earlier, he’d repeatedly asked Fan Nuo’er whether or not she’d done

anything to the box. If from the start, she confessed the truth, then he wouldn’t be this heartbroken. After all, he did

indeed watch her grow up. But she committed an offense, attempting in vain to frame someone of the same sect, and

didn’t even know to repent. This made him extremely disappointed in her.

“Shifu, Nou’er just momentarily strayed. In the future, she’ll definitely repent, begging shifu to please give her

another chance!” Wang Ze knelt down pleading.

“Qing Chen.” Hu Yi Jian shouted, ignoring Wang Ze.

“This disciple is here.”

“According to the Medicine King Valley’s rules, framing someone of the same sect, how should one be dealt with?”

Hu Yi Jian asked.

Hearing this, Fan Nuo’er instantly started bawling, crawling to Hu Yi Jian’s side and pulling on this clothes, as she

spoke through tears, “Shigong, shigong, I’m wrong, I won’t dare to ever again, I really know wrong, shigong, won’t

you forgive Nuo’er just this once?”

“Qing Chen, I’m asking you!” Hu Yi Jian said.

“Framing someone of the same sect, driven out of Medicine King Valley without exception, henceforth no longer

someone of the Medicine King Valley!” Qing Chen replied.

“Shigong, shigong, you promised my grandfather before that you would properly take care of me. Shigong, don’t

kick Nuo’er out of the Medicine King Valley! I really know I’m wrong!” The makeup on Fan Nuo’er’s face was

already ruined by the tears.

Hu Yi Jian lowered his head to look to Fan Nuo’er, “I already knew from the start that you were jealous of Xiao Li’s

medical skills, knowing that you were discontent with her. You were rude to her, I asked her to not bicker with you,

but never thought that you would become like this now, harboring malicious thoughts! Moreover, that was the

Grand Empress Dowager! If not on your grandfather’s behalf, I would’ve spoken about this matter while the

Emperor and the others were still here.”

If the Emperor were to find out about this matter, Fan Nuo’er certainly would have been executed. That’s why, he

didn’t expose Fan Nuo’er earlier. This was already considered preserving her life!

“Shigong………” Fan Nuo’er stopped crying, as she hazily gazed to Hu Yi Jian with teary eyes.

“Shifu, asking you to please forgive Nuo’er this time!” Wang Ze said as he kowtowed to Hu Yi Jian

“Wang Ze, you were careless in your discipline, and didn’t stop Nuo’er in time. When we return, go to the hundred

feet cliff to reflect for a year.” Hu Yi Jian said.

“Shifu, are you really going to be this merciless?” Wang Ze questioned as he looked to Hu Yi Jian.

Hu Yi Jian turned his head to one side, no longer looking at Wang Ze and Fan Nuo’er.

“Since shifu is this merciless and must have Nuo’er forced out of the Medicine King Valley, then have me expelled

as well then.” Wang Ze said, “Last night, I already discovered that Nuo’er went out, yet didn’t stop her. As her shifu,

I’m willing to leave together with her!”

“Shifu……….” Fan Nuo’er turned her head towards Wang Ze and shouted, but couldn’t say anymore.

“As you please!” With that said, Hu Yi Jian got up and left the guest hall, leaving behind the rest looking to each

other in dismay.

“Nuo’er, this place can no longer tolerate us, let’s go.” Wang Ze stood up and said to Nuo’er who was sitting on the

ground.

“Shifu, where can we go?” Fan Nuo’er’s gaze was distant, as if she didn’t know how to continue living after leaving

Medicine King Valley.

Wang Ze went forward and pulled her up, “You have shifu, there will always be a place for us to make home!”

“Shifu…….” Fan Nuo’er emotionally looked to Wang Ze and nodded. Seeing Du Xiao Li, she ruthlessly said: “You

better remember, this grievance, I will repay one day!”

“Sigh……..” Qing Chen let out a sigh and looked to Wang Ze, “Your things, when time comes, I’ll have someone

send it to the old Zhang family outside the valley. When you have time, go fetch it. Remember, once you leave, you

can’t do anything that will let down the Medicine King Valley, and can’t have the Medicine King Valley’s matters

spread out, else……..”

“This rule, we know. The power of the Medicine King Command, we all understand.” Wang Ze said, “Nuo’er, let’s

go.”

Fan Nuo’er glared at Du Xiao Li and then followed after Wang Ze. That glare was full of resentment and murderous

rage.

Du Xiao Li didn’t expect that the final outcome would be like this. Getting expelled from the Medicine King Valley

was relatively severe, but for using the Grand Empress Dowager’s body as a tool to frame her, this was already

considered light. Just as Hu Yi Jian said, if Han Ming Ze and the others were to know about this, Fan Nuo’er’s life

would’ve forfeited!

“Don’t mind too much either. Wang Ze has always wanted to leave the Medicine King Valley. Perhaps, this was just

the chance he was waiting for.” Qing Chen, seeing Du Xiao Li somewhat blaming herself, went up to console her.

“Although Wang Ze is Nuo’er’s shifu, but in reality, he was Nuo’er’s bodyguard, and had promised her grandfather

that he would always protect her. That’s why if Nuo’er gets expelled from the Medicine King Valley, he won’t stay

behind.” Niu Jing said.

“Who’s Nuo’er’s grandfather? Even shifu needed to give him face.” Du Xiao Li asked.

“He was an old friend of shifu’s, and had once saved shifu’s life. Before he died, he had the infant Nuo’er entrusted

to shifu. Wang Ze at the time was still the Fan family’s servant. Since he already knew some medical skills and his

natural talent also passable, shifu thus had him accepted as a disciple, letting him take care of Nuo’er in the valley.

However, in these last few years, his mind has been drifting away from the valley more and more. Even without

today’s matters, in the future, he would still leave!”

“I’ll go check on shifu.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Go then. Shifu and the Grand Empress Dowager’s relationship is very good. This matter today must have made him

very upset. If the two of us went, shifu most likely won’t see us, so why don’t you go console him then. Sigh…….”

Niu Jing sighed.

Du Xiao Li went to Hu Yi Jian’s room and discovered that he wasn’t there. After searching in the courtyard for a

while, she found him in the most remote pavilion. She let Xia Yuan wait at a distance, while she went over herself.
