However, when he said so, they became even more nervous.

Sima You Yue handed over the grilled fish that had just been roasted, and asked: “Did you see us being chased by someone?”

“Those guys are creating a lot of ruckus outside so now when I see you, a few outsiders, if it’s not you guys whom they are chasing, who else would it be?” Medicine Elder took a bite of the grilled fish, and it tasted good. “Your barbecue technique is much better than your Mother’s!”

Sima You Yue gave a hand, “Do you know my Mother?”

“That mischievous lass whose mind is always filled with odd ideas, oftens seeks treasures from me.” Medicine Elder spat out a fish bone, “You look so similar to her, of course it’s easy to recognize you!”

“Are you the Medicine Elder?” Sima You Yue guessed his identity after a little thought.

“Hey, little girl, you are quite smart.” The Medicine Elder said with a smile, and ate the fish in a few bites.

“It turns out that the Medicine Elder is here. I have been disrespectful.” Yan Ya saluted towards the Medicine Elder.

“Old Man Seven’s disciple, where is the old man?” The Medicine Elder asked him.

“Master has always been illusive about his whereabouts, so I don’t know. But thinking about it, it should be about time he heads back to the sect.” Yan Ya heard that his Master had said that he had a good relationship with the Medicine Elder, so he was not surprised when he called his Master’s name.

“Grandfather, how do you know that he is the disciple of the Old Man Seven?” Fu Xi asked.

“You give me your grilled fish, and I will tell you.” Medicine Elder said.

Fu Xi gave him the grilled fish without hesitation, waiting for his answer with wide eyes.

Medicine Elder took the grilled fish and ate it, and said, “I don’t know what kind of skills they are learning, everyone in the sect has a similar aura, which can be seen at a glance.”

“That’s all?”

“That’s it. The little girl followed suit, right? She smells like that too.”

“Can you even tell this?” Fu Xi looked at Yan Ya and then at Sima You Yue. There was no similar aura between the two. How did he see it?

“You’re still young, it’s strange to see it.” Medicine Elder said, “When you grow up to my age, I guess it will be fine.”

“That’s still a long time!” Fu Xi struggled for a while and then stopped struggling, and cast his eyes on the fish Sima You Yue was grilling.

“Brother Fu Xi, let me eat it for you.” Hai Xi handed him the half-eaten fish.

“No, you can eat it yourself.” Fu Xi was not interested in the fish that had been dipped in other people’s saliva. Seeing Hai Xi’s lost eyes because of his refusal, he rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still comforted her mouth: “Hai Xi, you are also very hungry. Eat this first, and You Yue will bake it in a while. I will have it later. You can eat it quickly and don’t be hungry.”

Hai Xi just smiled now, and his eyes curled into small crescents.

Sima You Yue roasted several fishes at a time, first divided one into Wu Lingyu and Huan, and then gave the remaining one to Fu Xi and two to Medicine Elder. Then she took a few more to grill.

“Medicine Elder, why did you pass by here? Don’t say you were attracted by the smell of my grilled fish!”

“Then you think, why did I come here?” Medicine Elder asked back.

Sima You Yue took a brush and brushed some oil on the fish, and was silent for a while, and said, “You came here for the Pure Snow Lotus, right?”

“Ha ha.” Medicine Elder smile which could be regarded as acquiescence.

“That’s a pity, the Pure Snow Lotus is not here with us, and we are just carrying the scapegoat for Xu Yu.” Sima You Yue said.

“Oh? You are so unlucky?”

“It’s more than bad luck.” Sima You Yue sighed, and talked about the things in Zhou Clan’s Manor and all that happened here, and said with emotion: “You can encounter such a thing, so there’s always pay it back!”

“Pfft ha ha ha-you are out of luck!” Medicine Elder laughed.

“Yeah, I think too. Alas, if I really get that snow lotus, not to mention being chased for two months, I will recognize it even after being chased for two years! But I have nothing, and I will be chased. Two months, I feel depressed just thinking about it.” After that, she gave a long sigh.

“The things you have to be depressed about now are more than this.”

“Huh? Is there something wrong?”

“Pure Snow Lotus is a saint herb, even this old man here will be attracted, you say, what will other people do?” Medicine Elder stared at her and saw her frown, knowing that she had guessed it.

“Medicine Elder you will come here, indicating that others will also come. We will meet more people to chase us.” Yan Ya said.

“Yes. But this is not the key to the problem.” Medicine Elder ate the grilled fish cheerfully, pointing out the problem, but not telling them.

“The crux of the problem is that we don’t have that thing at all!” Sima You Yue said, “When someone asks us for it, we can’t get it out. Those people will definitely think that we are reluctant and won’t believe it. Arghh! This time I was really cheated by him!”

Medicine Elder glanced at her approvingly, her brain was quite flexible.

“If Xu Yu is still here, things still have a chance to change. If he has left, it will be really troublesome.” Fei Yi said.

At that time, they had a hard time arguing.

“Medicine Elder, have they left?” Sima You Yue asked Medicine Elder.

“I haven’t heard from them for so long, everyone only knows about you, but they don’t know them.” Medicine Elder said.

“So, they are very likely to have left. Even if they haven’t left, it seems to be difficult to implicate them now.” Sima You Yue sighed, “It’s really troublesome! But what is the origin of Pure Snow Lotus?”

“Since Pure Snow Lotus is called a saint herb, it has various effects. It is one of the things that can move the heart of old guys, which can increase the chance of advancing into the ranks of an Emperor. Some people even say that if you get it, you will be half successful in advancement.” He filled them in with his knowledge.

“How is this possible!” Sima You Yue shook her head slightly, “One can’t advance into the ranks of an Emperor now because of the restriction of the way of heaven, and it can’t be changed with just the saint herb.”

“Oh, it seems that you even know about the changes in the heavens!” Medicine Elder said in surprise, “Although everyone at their level knows, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will want to try.”

“If you really want to advance to the ranks of an Emperor, then go to fight with the heavens and change the heavens.” Sima You Yue coldly snorted, “Hmph, people like them, who have a bad heart and a weak way, will never have the chance to advance to the ranks of an Emperor! Medicine Elder, are you also here for this reason?”

The gaze in which Medicine Elder looked at Sima You Yue became a little different. Hearing her question, he smiled and said: “Emperor or whatever, I’m just a bag of old bones. I am called Medicine Elder, and naturally I am interested in medicinal materials. It is a pity that I am chasing you. I came, but I didn’t get anything.. Well, at least I heard some pretty good ideals and principles.”
