"Madam, please take a seat." The elder introduced Hua Jinglan to the door and offered him a cup of fragrant tea.
"Thank you." Hua Jinglan sat down and placed her hand on the teacup but did not pick it up.
The great elder's eyes were reserved and seemed to be hiddenly sharp.
"The Tang Sect does not have a panacea to cure the young master just now, and the old man has been living in vain for decades with such symptoms, which is unprecedented and unheard of." The great elder stroked his beard and said: "Since the lady is unwilling to reveal the name of the master, it is also inconvenient for the old man. Ask."
He took a box from under the statue of the beast god enshrined in the center of the hall and pushed it in front of Hua Jinglan, "Madam is famous in the world. She once saved my Tang family bloodline at Jiuxiao Villa. This medicine is a Tang family treasure. There is only one pill, but Save Madam’s life for three months.”
Hua Jinglan glanced at him in surprise. Even if she saved Tang Jihe, he really didn't need to take out such a treasure. Besides, she was also about to die. Wouldn't it be a pity to use this.
Before she could say her words of refusal, the First Elder said: "I, the Tang Sect, are also people who repay kindness. I am afraid that Madam's current condition is caused by the damage she suffered in Hunting Mountain. I know Madam's concerns and will never take advantage of this to threaten her." , since this medicine repays the favor owed by the Tang family, I will also ask Jihe not to force his wife to stay."
Hua Jinglan gratefully took the medicine and said, "Elder, please don't tell others about my physical damage."
"Don't worry, madam." The great elder nodded.
Walking out of the elder's courtyard, Hua Jinglan fell into deep thought. The great elder's attitude was that of seeing off guests.
She suddenly smiled, yes, if she was before, she could still help the Tang Clan, but now, when she was in Loulan City, she had some big or small issues with the dependent tribe. Who knows whether others still hold grudges, there is no need to do so because of it. A small spark from her lit up the whole truck.
After leaving the courtyard, he turned around two more gravel roads and walked to the outer courtyard. The person guarding the courtyard door opened the door and Chunyu Yan was waiting outside.
Seeing that he was alone, Hua Jinglan asked, "Where is Yuchi Yue?"
"Tang Jihe sent him back," Chun Yuyan took the box in her hand and helped her walk back, "What is this?"
"This is the Tang Sect's welcome gift." Hua Jinglan smiled, her tone full of ridicule.
Chunyu Yan understood, "We'll talk about it after Nie Xiaoyang has seen it."
"That's fine." Hua Jinglan paused and said, "It's just that we couldn't save Yuchi Yue this time."
"Do your best to obey fate. If you can't force me, just let him go." Chunyu Yan comforted.
Hua Jinglan exhaled deeply, looked up at the bright sky, and thought that it was time to send Yuchi Yue back to Jiuxiao Villa.
Hua Jinglan did not stay with Tang Jihe and the others during the meal, but stayed alone in the courtyard arranged by him.
The weather was getting hotter and it got dark later, so after dinner, it didn't get completely dark. The courtyard arranged by Tang Jihe was quiet, with few people walking around outside, and a lot of gardenia trees were planted. The fragrance of the flowers was strong now, and Hua Jinglan became interested, so she went for a walk under the flower trees.
Chun Yuyan followed her, just one step away, following her pace, which was faster and slower, and only went up to help her when she was tired.
The two looked at each other and smiled, the breeze lifted the corners of their clothes, and the exquisite embroidered patterns on the blue clothes were flying in the air. Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan held their fingers together, and she smiled and said: "Let Hua Yin and the others send Yu Chi Yue away tomorrow." Go back to Jiuxiao Villa."
Chun Yuyan brushed away the wind-blown hair from her cheeks and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to leave after you get better."
Hua Jinglan lowered her head, sighed without trace, turned around and said, "Let's go back."
When he returned to the courtyard, he looked up and saw a man in white clothes standing on the stone steps. When he saw them coming back, he quickly went up to greet them and said, "Mrs. Xue... Lan!" Tang Jihe had told him to call Hua Jinglan "Lan" lady".
This person is none other than Tang Fen, and he looks much more stable than he did a few months ago.
Gaoyue put a soft cushion on the stone bench, Hua Jinglan walked over and sat down, and asked Tang Fen with a smile: "What is the purpose of Mr. Tang's trip?"
Tang Fen was very excited when he heard the news that Hua Jinglan was coming to Jiuhe City. He had been practicing the Tiansi Soft Sword these days and felt that he had made some achievements. He was thinking of asking her for advice when she happened to come.
He put the soft Tiansi sword on his waist on the table and said, "I came here specially to learn swordsmanship from Madam!"
Hua Jinglan shook her head, "I'm not physically able to help you right now."
"If you want the sword manual I sent you last time, you can take it."
Tang Fen said with a slight disappointment: "Compared to the sword manual, I would rather see it with my own eyes."
What an honest child!
Hua Jinglan smiled secretly and said: "If you have talent, you can learn it by yourself without a teacher. If you don't have talent, I will show you the trick every day, and it will probably take you ten or eight years to learn it."
Tang Fen sat down opposite her and looked at her with complicated eyes, "Madam, did you find this abortion method... for yourself?"
Chunyu Yan's golden pupils narrowed slightly and she glanced at him coldly.
Tang Fen said quickly: "I don't have any other intentions, and I haven't told anyone about this. However, I have searched through the Tang Sect's secret books and found no relevant records."
Chun Yuyan's disappointment was written on his face, but his clenched hands were covered by a pair of cold hands. He turned around in surprise, only to meet Hua Jinglan's tranquil gaze.
Reluctantly breathing a sigh of relief, he suppressed his emotions.
"Madam, is she pregnant?" Tang Fen asked tentatively: "But, why is the abortion method needed?"
"You can guess it even if I don't tell it, right?" Hua Jinglan said lightly.
Tang Fen couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw her weak appearance and heard her say this, and said, "Why don't you tell your elder brother and let him find a way to induce pregnancy for you?"
Hua Jinglan wouldn't tell him that she couldn't trust Tang Jihe. Speaking of it, it didn't matter whether she believed it or not. Her martial arts was completely useless. Anyone with a foundation in martial arts could see that. They just had doubts and couldn't believe it for a moment. The elders of the Tang Sect already knew that she had lost her martial arts skills. Giving her the elixir meant that they would not tell Tang Jihe about this and would only let her sleep and leave without causing any trouble to the Tang Sect. But if Tang Jihe is told about the abortion method, he must know that he will not live long. If he betrays his trust, someone will come to her before she leaves Jiuhe City. But if he helps her righteously and does his best, in this way , she has no way to cause trouble to him.
So it was right to tell Tang Fen first.
"There are many descendants of the Tang Sect, and they are descendants of the beast clan. There is no need to tame giant beasts, and there is no such thing as beasts. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have never heard of it." Tang Fen Even though I can't bear it, I can only tell the truth.
Hua Jinglan nodded, "I'm troubling you so much."
Tang Fen felt guilty after hearing this, and added: "But I have seen in ancient books that the origin of the birth-inducing method is the Jade Bird Clan. Although the Jade Bird Clan has been extinct for many years, there will definitely be descendants who survive, Madam. Just live in Tangmen with peace of mind, I will do my best to find Madam!"
Hua Jinglan asked Jiao Yue to get the sword manual, and then took out a small porcelain bottle and put it in front of him sincerely, "There is no point in keeping this thing here with me. Besides, this is a pill that can help improve your internal strength. Once you Take one pill a month, and the extent to which you can achieve it depends on your own destiny."
Tang Fen looked ugly. He was not willing to help her just for these things!
"Just accept it if you are asked to accept it!" Jiao Yue pressed the thing into his arms, "You don't have to worry about tiring Madam if you waste your time talking!"
Tang Fen's face was hot, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't think carefully. Thank you madam for the book and medicine."
Just after sending Tang Fen away, Tang Jihe entered the courtyard again. Hua Jinglan sighed secretly and said to Chun Yuyan: "Send him away. We will leave Tang Mansion tomorrow."
"Okay." Chunyu Yan asked Gaoyue to help her into the house to rest.
When Tang Jihe saw Hua Jinglan turning around and entering the house, he knew that he might be rejected today, but he was already here and could not leave, so he could only stay and face Chun Yuyan.
"Please sit down," Chunyu Yan said.
Tang Jihe sat opposite him and said slightly: "It seems that Madam has guessed my purpose."
Chunyu Yan poured tea for him and said calmly: "Young Master Tang is a smart man, how could he not see our difficulties."
Tang Jihe looked at him and said after a moment: "But Madam is in poor health?"
"She is pregnant." Chunyu Yan told him directly, "We will leave Jiuhe City tomorrow."
Tang Jihe had a smile on his face, but he didn't show much emotion or anger. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."
"Thank you very much." Chunyu Yan raised her eyes and looked at him, "Master Tang, please be considerate."
"It's natural. Say hello to Madam for me," Tang Jihe turned his head and looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late. Tomorrow Tang will send you two out of Jiuhe City."
Chun Yuyan watched him disappear through the moon cave door before turning back. Hua Jinglan was already lying down in the room. Even though she was asleep, she looked tired, which made his heart ache.
Jiao Yue came in with the medicine and said in a low voice: "Master, this is the medicine Master Nie ordered."
Nie Xiaoyang mixed the pills and brewed it. Chun Yuyan took it and said, "Go and have a rest."
