The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1603 - 1690: Liu Yi and Bai Xian
The next day, when Dong Huiying got up, she found that Shu Yu had returned to normal.
She smiled slightly, thinking that yesterday must have gone smoothly, it seemed that the Second Master of our family had resolved a lingering worry.
"Great, let’s have a feast this morning, I need to celebrate!" So, she rolled up her sleeves and headed into the kitchen to start cooking.
Ever since the incident with the Eighth Princess, Bai Xian had been busy recuperating and putting on a show; but strangely enough, Qinghe, who had been gradually distancing himself from the Eighth Princess, now stood out and took charge. He controlled the guards under the Eighth Princess, formulated policies, and ordered people to search. He did everything meticulously, without any leaks, but no one knew his true intentions.
Was it a sincere desire to find the Eighth Princess, or a secret hope that she had perished somewhere, no one knew.
However, despite the serious incident involving the Eighth Princess, some in the Zhu family’s residence remained unaffected. These two were Wizard Liu Yi and Bazak.
Early in the morning, Liu Yi drank the soft and golden millet porridge, with very simple side dishes—just a small plate of pickles and a boiled egg.
Bazak cracked the eggshell, helping Liu Yi peel the hot egg. "It seemed like there were strangers here yesterday," Bazak said. He had been with Liu Yi for several years and had some understanding of the Witch Gu matters.
Liu Yi was a cautious person and was temporarily staying here to find a place to settle and secretly gather information about Haoming and Dong Huiying.
Liu Yi sipped the millet porridge. "I know about this; my Witch doll had already signaled a warning last night. That person went to Young Master Bai’s courtyard, passing through this courtyard on the way."
Bazak nodded and said no more, but Liu Yi continued, "However, something curious happened; later, accompany me to Young Master Bai’s place. His courtyard was originally calm, but last night, because of that night visitor, my Witch doll sensed that there seemed to be more inside the courtyard."
After the meal, Liu Yi donned a cloak to conceal her light purple long hair. Every time she saw her light purple long hair, she couldn’t help but think of the little girl she met back in the Yellow Sand Desert.
That matter was truly troubling; at that time, the person had left an address, but upon inquiry, it turned out that no one had lived there for a long time, and it had even experienced an earthquake.
Now, she had no idea where that entire family was, and it weighed heavily on her mind.
Liu Yi, accompanied by Bazak, openly arrived at Bai Xian’s courtyard, under the pretense of ’visiting,’ claiming she was somewhat skilled in medical treatment. Since she was temporarily staying here, she felt it wasn’t right to live off others without contributing, so she wanted to take a look at Bai Xian, treating illnesses and injuries.
Nobody suspected her motives due to her plausible explanation, but her true intentions were known only to her.
Bai Xian was surprised by Liu Yi’s arrival and feigned being flattered: "I cannot deserve such attention; my humble body might taint the esteemed Witch Master’s eyes."
"Don’t underestimate yourself," Liu Yi chuckled, then allowed Bazak to assist her in sitting down. She slowly tidied up her skirt, avoiding creases, and then gestured for Bazak to retreat behind her.
She smiled cheerfully at Bai Xian, who was lying on the sickbed, "I observe that your complexion is quite poor; although the Eighth Princess is important, you must not neglect your health. Otherwise, if the Princess returns someday and finds you so haggard, she might feel distressed for you."
Bai Xian smiled but pondered internally... This mysterious Witch had always stayed secluded; was her visit truly to offer healing?
