The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1607 - 1694: What’s Different

But if you really ask what’s different this time..."

Like a flash of lightning, Bai Xian immediately thought of Liu Yi.

Bai Xian said, "I think, perhaps I’ve been dragged into this by someone else."

Shu Yu brought a cloth bag. He tossed the bag to Bai Xian and then gave a look that signaled he was ready to hear more.

Bai Xian instinctively caught the bag, surprised by its weight. "What’s this?"

"Food!"

"Oh, I absolutely adore you, Liang Shuyu!" Hearing it was food, Bai Xian quickly opened the bag, discovering roast chicken and braised pork. Though someone injured shouldn’t eat greasy food, Bai Xian had been surviving on bland soups, pretending to have no appetite due to his concern for the missing Eighth Princess, but in reality, he was starving and desperately needed nourishment.

Bai Xian tore off a drumstick and devoured it ravenously, biting into the meat quickly. While chewing, he began recounting the incident when Liu Yi and Bazak visited him that day.

Shu Yu was slightly taken aback, "You say the woman’s name is Witch?"

Shu Yu’s tone seemed somewhat unusual, and Bai Xian wondered aloud, "What, do you know her?"

"...No," he didn’t know her, hadn’t met, but had heard of her from his wife. Bai Xian swallowed a mouthful of drumstick, smacking his lips; the roast chicken tasted oddly familiar. "Actually, nobody knows her real name. Even the Eighth Princess calls her Witch, and others call her Witch Master. She’s rather mysterious, but I once heard her call the attendant who’s always by her side a certain name. It seemed like... Bazak?"

It does seem to be that person!

Shu Yu was now sure in his heart, "When did the two of them arrive here?"

"They’ve been here for quite a while, even before the Eighth Princess disappeared. It seems they were specially ’invited’ by her..."

Shu Yu chuckled, "I think ’invited’ is just a cover; forcefully brought here is more like it. Those two are certainly a couple; even their methods are the same."

Bai Xian laughed, "Aren’t they! Xiao Qinghe previously abducted Lady Dong, and Witch and Bazak, although they were ’invited,’ I remember the Eighth Princess specifically ordered them watched before she vanished, as if afraid they’d bolt. What you say makes a lot of sense!"

Shu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems... Bai Xian, you know quite a bit."

Bai Xian was taken aback, "Qinghe Zhengjun being named Xiao isn’t a secret."

Shu Yu said, "I’m referring to him abducting my wife; Huiying was indeed taken by Xiao Qinghe. It’s true. But aside from Xiao Qinghe’s people, only a few of us know. And Bai Xian, where did you hear about this?"

Friendship built on paper!

Were it any other matter, Shu Yu would undoubtedly side with Bai Xian. But his family’s little wife is his ultimate boundary; nothing and no one comes before her. Anytime and anywhere, his wife is always first. For his wife’s sake, even brothers can be cast aside!

In short, this is someone who values romance over friendship, especially since the other party has no blood relation to him, not a real brother, naturally...

Bai Xian suddenly shuddered involuntarily. He looked at Shu Yu, seeing the slight curve of a smile on Shu Yu’s lips. Yet somehow, that faint smile chilled him to the bone.
