In order to appease the guests who were frightened by the attack just now, Xilingyue asked Yinxue to prepare snacks and tea for everyone in the lobby, while she went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, preparing to prepare an elixir with the morning dew of the soul-fixing grass she collected.

After Yu Shiqi helped distribute the snacks and tea, he returned to Teng Yining, who was sitting at the corner table, and sat upright.

"Mom, did you just say you had something to tell me?"

Teng Yining said "hmm" and pushed the snacks and tea on the table in front of him to him: "You can eat it, I don't want to eat it."

Yu Shiqi didn't move, just looked at her with a smile.

"You fought with others, you didn't get hurt, did you?"

"It's completely fine." Yu Shiqi shook his head.

"Yu Lingwei and Xiaoyan taught you really well, I really have to thank them." Teng Yining said happily and gratefully.

"There are also Professor Bu Shechuan and Captain Zhou Xiaocheng. They all gave me guidance." Yu Shiqi added, touching his cheek embarrassedly: "It's just that I don't have much love for learning martial arts, unlike Brother Wang.

Thinking about striving for excellence to a higher level, I’m afraid I’ve failed to live up to their expectations.”

"It doesn't matter." Teng Yining said tolerantly, "Just do what you want to do, Yunzhongjian does not lack a boy like you."

"Thank you, mother." He lowered his head, "I...actually, I also want to be with you..."

"Then let's talk about it later." Teng Yining didn't let him reveal his plan to follow her back to Yunzhongjian. "We stayed in the wild last night. Did you get cold? Didn't you eat well?"

"There is a bonfire. I have brought dry food, which is enough to share with the young shopkeeper."

Teng Yining nodded after hearing this, paused for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Do you like that girl?"

Yu Shiqi was caught off guard and was speechless, making a surprised sound of "Hey, eh, eh".

"Mom can see that she also likes you." Teng Yining said, "But she is from the Spirit Tribe. Are you willing to stay in the West Wasteland for her in the future?"

Yu Shiqi was silent and speechless, his mind filled with random thoughts.

Staying in Xihuang for Xi Lingyue? It's not that he is unwilling. It's just that it's not as simple as him agreeing to stay in Xihuang.

After a long time, he murmured and asked: "Mom, don't you agree?"

"I don't disagree, I just want to hear your thoughts."

Yu Shiqi smiled bitterly: "She is a saint from the Snow Sect and cannot marry. And I...I should continue to wander. I also want to paint elsewhere. Although Xihuang is very beautiful,

It’s the same after it snows, but you’ll get tired of watching it all the time.”

"If you like her, you just like her. It has nothing to do with who she is. Even if you get tired of saying it, you still like her in your heart." Teng Yining said with a self-deprecating smile.

Yu Shiqi thought about it and felt a little regretful: "I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't seem to understand it very well."

Teng Yining sighed. She actually wanted to tell her son that if she really likes her, what if she can endure being apart for the time being? They are still so young and have many opportunities to change the future. The difficulties and obstacles in front of them are nothing.

.

But when she thought about herself and that person, she was a little hesitant.

"I don't worry about you and her anymore. You are old enough to make your own decision."

Yu Shiqi nodded.

"By the way, there is another important thing I want to tell you, about Wangchuan..."

"Senior Teng, the young shopkeeper would like to invite you to her room." Yinxue's arrival interrupted the conversation between mother and son.

"Young shopkeeper, do you want to see me?" Teng Yining was a little surprised.

But Yu Shiqi knew what the reason was—Xilingyue had said before that he wanted to help heal the scars on his mother’s face.

"Mom, please go first. If you have anything to do, wait until you come back to talk about it."

Teng Yining agreed, left the table and followed Yinxue up to the second floor of the inn.

Yu Shiqi casually tasted a few snacks and found them a bit too sweet. He quickly drank a big sip of tea. Seeing that there was nothing particularly busy in the inn at this time, he planned to get painting tools to paint. After all, it was

It was also one of the jobs he had promised Xiling Yue to stay at the inn.

…

Teng Yining sat in front of Xilingyue, and the mask that had been taken off at her request was now placed on the table beside her.

Facing Xilingyue's fair and beautiful face, Teng Yining thought of his ugly and terrifying face at this time, and inevitably felt a little ashamed of himself.

"What is the young shopkeeper going to do?" she asked anxiously.

"Just call me Yue'er, that's what Yu Shiqi calls me." Xiling Yue held a pottery bowl in her hand, which contained half a bowl of lake-blue crystal liquid, some of which was still in the shape of ointment. She was talking

Crush them with a pestle.

Teng Yining couldn't help but smile. How could she not know the young man's little thoughts?

"Is this medicine?"

"Senior's guess is really accurate." Xilingyue said with admiration, "I prepared this medicine myself. It has no effect on internal injuries, but it has an extremely miraculous effect on external injuries. To exaggerate, it can be said to be able to revive and die human flesh.

Bones."

Teng Yining didn't believe it in her heart. She had fought for many years as the Right Envoy of the Yunzhong Sword. Injuries were common and she had naturally used a lot of wound medicine. She had seen many miracle medicines that claimed to treat trauma. Not to mention the flesh and bones of the living and dead, they could prevent wounds.

Inflamed and ulcerated stools are already very serious, but most of them can only relieve pain and stop bleeding.

"The injuries on senior's face are caused by burns, right?"

"Yes, it's not just my face. When I fell into a sea of ​​fire, I managed to escape with my life, but almost my whole body was burned."

"That's it..." Xilingyue felt a little regretful, "But my medicine is probably only enough to cure the injuries on the senior's face. In fact, I also thought that if I could use this medicine to make a medicine pool, it should be able to solve a lot of problems.

People are troubled, but this drug is too difficult to prepare in large quantities."

Teng Yining suddenly understood what she was going to do, and said in shock: "You want to heal the injury on my face? No, no, no, since medicine is hard to come by, it should be used on people who need it more. I have been doing this for many years

It doesn’t matter to me personally.”

"The reason why I can prepare this medicine is that Yu Shiqi helped me find the raw materials. I help my senior heal his injuries, just to return his favor." Xiling Yue smiled, put the pottery bowl on the table, and said to Teng Yining

: "Senior, you're welcome. You stopped the conflict in the inn before, and you helped defend the enemy today. I'm also very grateful."

Teng Yining didn't know what to say and clasped his hands a little uneasily.

Xilingyue immediately stood up and took out a crimson medicine bottle from the cabinet: "This is a slightly corrosive ointment. I plan to use this on senior's face first - don't worry, it will be fine."

Yes, you just need to be patient for a moment, senior, and then use the medicine I just prepared, and you should be done."

Teng Yining wanted to refuse, but she was a little curious in her heart whether the lake blue medicine in the pottery bowl was really as magical as Xi Lingyue said. She gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement with the intention of giving it a try.

Anyway, I am already like this, no matter how bad I am, I can’t get any worse...

"Yue'er, come on." Teng Yining said and closed his eyes.

"Senior, don't be so upright and awe-inspiring, it makes me a little scared." Xilingyue said jokingly.

"Really, I think you seem to be fearless." Teng Yining chatted with her with his eyes closed.

"No, there are things I'm afraid of." Xilingyue sighed softly and began to apply the ointment from the crimson medicine bottle to Teng Yining's face. "I'm afraid of the seven sufferings in the world mentioned in Zen Buddhism.

.”

"Birth, old age, illness, and death." Teng Yining also knows the Zen teachings about the seven sufferings.
