The process of Yu Wan convincing Yan Jiuchao did not go so smoothly. According to Yu Wan’s original plan, she will bring Fu Ling, Zi Su, Jiang Hai, and Ah Wei’s family on the trip. Yan Jiuchao will stay in Lotus Flower Village to wait for her news.
Yan Jiuchao stroked the little snow fox on his lap and asked calmly, “They asked Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six to find herbs?”
“That’s right.” Yu Wan nodded. “The Worryfree Grass in an extremely cold place, and the Sulfur Firestone at the peak of extreme flames.”
Yan Jiuchao looked at Old Cui.
Old Cui understood and nodded. “These two herbs indeed have the effect of detoxifying.”
However, in this way, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six were no longer by Yu Wan’s side. Yu Wan was naive. Yan Jiuchao had been living a life of bloodshed for twenty years and knew that the human heart was unfathomable. Who knew what this family was up to?
But if she didn’t go, this poison couldn’t be cured. If she did, he would be worried that she would be scammed.
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “There are no saintesses or sorcerers in the world. Didn’t Ah Wei’s family tell you this? If they don’t even know this, I’ll be more suspicious about the medicinal primer they mentioned.”
Yu Wan said indifferently, “Didn’t Old Cui also say these few herbs?”
Yan Jiuchao said, “Old Cui heard it at the teahouse. It might be the same for them.”
Yu Wan was speechless. There was no way to refute this. She paused and said, “Not everything in the world always has an outcome, but it’s not wrong to try. How can you give up without trying?”
Yan Jiuchao looked at her steadily. “You know it’s impossible, but you still want to do it?”
Yu Wan’s eyes were as clear as water. “Why not? At most, it’ll be the same now.”
Yan Jiuchao was silent.
Yu Wan walked around to him, squatted down, and looked up at him. “Do you know? Back then, my uncle’s leg was crippled, and no one believed that he could treat it. Even he himself didn’t believe it, but I wanted to treat him. In the end, you saw it too. He really recovered! Also, at that time, I actually didn’t even know the way to detoxify the poison curse, but I just felt that if it could be resolved. Wasn’t it also resolved? This time, we even know what the medicinal primer is. What reason is there not to look for it?”
Yan Jiuchao sighed softly. “Have you always been so stubborn?”
Yu Wan lowered her head and buried her face in his palm. “Yes, I’ve always been so stubborn. It’s too late for you to regret.”
“Who said I regret it?” Yan Jiuchao turned his face away, his palm burning from her face.
Yu Wan looked up at him with a smile. “Then I’ll take it that you agree.”
Forget it, if she couldn’t find those herbs even if she went, this girl should give up. “I have a condition,” Yan Jiuchao said.
“Go ahead.” Yu Wan looked at him with wide eyes.
“I’ll go with you,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Yu Wan shook her head. “That won’t do. You’ll be tired from the journey. Your body won’t be able to take it if it’s too tiring.”
Yan Jiuchao said, “Then you can’t go.”
Yu Wan was about to open her mouth. Yan Jiuchao continued, “I’m your husband. The husband guides the wife. You have to listen to me.”
This was not negotiable, so Yu Wan could only agree to go with him. However, Yu Wan also suggested that they have to listen to her on the way. This was a small matter, so Yan Jiuchao agreed. To the old man, it did not matter if Yan Jiuchao was going or not. Anyway, the extra money did not belong to him.
This matter was happily decided.
Yu Wan found her parents. She did not say that Yan Jiuchao had been poisoned and they were going to find an antidote. She only said that something had gone wrong in Yan City. They had to return to the Prince Yan Manor. Ah Wei’s family also needed to return to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors. They also went south, so they decided to set off together.
They secretly brought Old Cui along. He was alone and usually did not return for months to pick herbs. No one suspected why he had suddenly disappeared.
The three little black eggs were left in Lotus Flower Village by Yu Wan. Before leaving, Yu Wan bade farewell to her sons. “Dad and Mom are going out for a while. Listen to Grandpa and Grandma obediently and practice martial arts with Ah Wei, understand?”
The three little black eggs hugged their mother’s neck and only reluctantly let go after a while.
“Take good care of the house. When we reach the clan, we’ll send you a pigeon. At that time, you can reveal the news to her. She’ll naturally obediently go back with you.” The old man instructed Ah Wei solemnly. Actually, it didn’t matter if Ah Wei stayed or not. As long as Yu Wan entered the Ghost Clan, that woman would find her no matter what.
However, Ah Wei was too good at causing trouble. He could not let him ruin anything else!
The old man, Qing Yan, and Yue Gou resolutely boarded the carriage that left the village.
