Chapter 1362: Chi Shuyan’s Probing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chi Shuyan had already come to Aunt Miao’s house last time, but it was the first time that the others were seeing it. Seeing that the inside was even more dilapidated than the outside, Xu Tong, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s hearts immediately ached for the mother and son. If it wasn’t for the fact that this village was too strange, they would have wanted to help them out.

Xu Tong itched to take the child home and raise him, especially when she saw the child immediately serve them tea as soon as he entered the house with Aunt Miao. Because he was too young, the little guy’s gait was a little unsteady. Xu Tong and the others hurriedly took the bamboo cups and thanked him with smiles. They pinched the little guy’s face, causing him to blush shyly.

Xu Tong was too engrossed in playing with the child, and vaguely sensed a cold gaze on her. She looked up and met Aunt Miao’s eyes. She was so scared that her scalp turned numb and her hands trembled. She hurriedly explained in a panic, “I see that… this child is too cute…”

Xu Tong wanted to honestly explain that she genuinely thought this little guy was especially cute. She didn’t think that as soon as the other party heard this, she looked like she wanted to swallow Xu Tong alive, his face cold and filled with hatred.

Xu Tong staggered in fright. Ruan Shenglin hurriedly supported his wife and explained the matter on her behalf.

Even a blind person could tell that Aunt Miao was very unwelcoming toward them and was very strange.

They felt that if Master Chi hadn’t brought this child back just now, given Aunt Miao’s attitude, she probably wouldn’t even let them in.

What shocked the couple the most was how creepy this Aunt Miao seemed. She really didn’t look like a good person, much less capable of raising such an obedient and soft child.

In the end, the two of them weren’t people who judged others by their looks, but the way Aunt Miao looked at them was really cold. The two of them couldn’t stand it and subconsciously looked at Master Chi, but she was very calm. Even when Aunt Miao’s sinister gaze swept over her occasionally, Master Chi’s expression didn’t change.

After a while, the other party said, “Who’s injured? I’ll be frank with you, I only know a bit about some herbs. I can help take a look at ordinary injuries, but I can’t do anything about more serious ones.”

Her tone was cold and unreasonable.

Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong and Yang Kun felt very embarrassed.

Yang Kun was glad that he wasn’t physically injured at all – it was more mental trauma than anything else. He didn’t need medicinal herbs; he could just take a few days to calm down.

Moreover, he didn’t think that a doctor from a small village could be that skilled. They couldn’t even be considered doctors, and could just be called practitioners at most. He didn’t understand why Master Chi had to bring him here, so Yang Kun hurriedly said that he only had a few scratches and could just rub some medicinal alcohol on his injuries.

Chi Shuyan didn’t speak. As she took in Aunt Miao’s subtle expressions, her eyes swept over the various herbs in the courtyard outside. She realized that this Aunt Miao in front of her indeed had hidden depths – she actually knew so many herbs. There were no less than 100 types of herbs here – there weren’t many of each type, but there was a wide variety of them.

She even saw a lot of good medicinal herbs that were dozens or hundreds of years old.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but be a little moved. She looked at Aunt Miao and her eyes darkened a little. She said, “Aunt Miao, you’re too modest. How can someone who knows about so many herbs be considered ‘ordinary’? It’s already not bad for an ordinary person to know more than a dozen or several dozen herbs at most.” At this point, she deliberately paused before she probed, “Aunt Miao, what did you do before? Was it related to medicine?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Shuyan clearly saw the other party’s face change drastically. She stared at her warily and with a hint of hostility in his eyes. She didn’t know where this hostility came from.

In the blink of an eye, the other party coughed and turned around to enter the house. Not long after, she took out a small bottle of liniment and handed it to Yang Kun. Yang Kun accepted it in a daze and thanked her. Then, the other party coldly said, “Since your injuries are minor, liniment is more than enough. Okay, I won’t entertain you anymore. I still have to go up the mountain to pick herbs.”

With that, she stared coldly at them as she saw them out.

This was the first time Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, and Xu Tong experienced being kicked out, and they were very embarrassed. Chi Shuyan told them to wait for her outside. Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, and Xu Tong hurriedly nodded and agreed. “Okay, Master Chi. We’ll wait for you outside!”

Before Xu Tong left, she couldn’t help but take a few more looks at the cute little guy, Xu Ran, who hadn’t said anything to interrupt them. She really liked this child, but his mother disliked them very much, so she could only wave goodbye to the little guy.

Xu Ran immediately walked around Aunt Miao and wanted to follow Xu Tong out, but Aunt Miao suddenly pulled him back. She moved too much, and she couldn’t help but cough again.

Seeing his mother cough again, the little guy’s heart ached and he was anxious. He hurriedly tiptoed and patted Aunt Miao on the back as he comforted her in his baby voice.

Chi Shuyan saw Aunt Miao’s sinister and unsightly face soften a little. She didn’t say much, and seemed very wary of Chi Shuyan. She quickly found an excuse to send the little guy away.

After everyone else left, Aunt Miao’s dark face turned indifferent and expressionless. “Leave! There’s nothing to talk about! I’ve already said what I needed to say!”

It was a rare opportunity to come to the Miao residence. Given the other party’s attitude, she probably wouldn’t even let her in next time. Chi Shuyan naturally didn’t plan to waste this opportunity and was about to speak.

The other party thought of something, and her face turned gloomy and sinister again. There was even intense hatred and iciness in her eyes. It was terrifying and Chi Shuyan was slightly alarmed. Suddenly, she heard the other party ask coldly, “Who the hell are you?”

Chi Shuyan recalled how Xu Tong and the others had called her “Master Chi,” which was why the other party was asking. Moreover, she didn’t hide her hostility at all. Chi Shuyan wondered if Aunt Miao held a grudge against some Celestial Master, and so didn’t like people in this line of work.

This was just her guess. She had too many questions about Aunt Miao, but unfortunately, the other party was very wary of her. Chi Shuyan didn’t think that she would be able to get any answers to her questions.

Right!

From the moment she came in, the deepest impression she had of this Aunt Miao was that she seemed very guarded against not just her, but also against Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong and Yang Kun. There was wariness in her words and actions.

Aunt Miao seemed prejudiced and hostile toward both outsiders and Celestial Masters, especially the latter.

In order to confirm her guess, Chi Shuyan revealed her identity for once. She replied half-truthfully, “I learned how to draw talismans from a Master for a few years, and we happened to save the Ruan couple before.” After a pause, she deliberately mentioned what happened at the Ruan residence and the black Buddha pendant, and continued, “It was all thanks to my teacher’s help. It’s because of my teacher that they call me ‘Master’!”

At the mention of her identity as a Master, Chi Shuyan deliberately looked smug. In fact, when she said these words, her eyes were fixed on Aunt Miao in front of her.

Sure enough!

When Aunt Miao heard the first half of Chi Shuyan’s words, her eyes were downright cold. Not only that, Chi Shuyan also realized that when she mentioned the black Buddha pendant, the other party’s turbid pupils contracted tightly, and a trace of fear and intense hatred flashed in her eyes. Chi Shuyan saw it clearly.

After all, Aunt Mio lived in this village and believed in the Buddha statue. Even though Chi Shuyan saw a flash of hatred just now, she didn’t dare say too much. She just probed, “Speaking of which, the True Buddha that your village believes in is really a little similar to the Buddha pendant which the Ruan family received before, though there are still some differences in appearance. I was shocked when I first saw the True Buddha in this village. Later, I took a serious look and realized that it was a misunderstanding. Still, have all of you believed in this True Buddha for generations? Can the True Buddha really protect everyone?”

Chi Shuyan asked her questions with a sincere and innocent expression. She was thankful for her young appearance, and she pretended to know nothing, which indeed made her seem more believable. Just as she thought that Aunt Miao wouldn’t reply to her, the other party looked at her coldly. She didn’t say whether she believed or not, but her eyes were filled with mocking and schadenfreude as she spat out coldly, “I’m not sure if this True Buddha can protect everyone, but I believe he can take all of you to the afterlife!”

With that, the other party lost patience and coldly saw Chi Shuyan out!
