I Don’T Want To Be This Master For A Day Anymore. Chapter 61
byI can’t punish you, I can’t bear it
Recently, Qiu Yin’an has been having a headache because Bai Chengying’s pill did not work, and Wan Qiongju has been working with him in the secret room to find the reason and solution.
The two of them searched through all the books on alchemy on the shelves, even if they only mentioned a few words, they never let go, but they never found anything they thought was useful.
Suddenly it was the New Year’s Eve. In the evening, Linghu specially prepared a table full of delicacies, but Qiu Yin’an was too preoccupied with the elixirs to be interested in eating at the table.
Wan Qiongju saw Qiu Yin’an holding a white jade spoon and circling it over and over in a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup. It took a long time to put only half a spoon into his mouth. He was worried that Qiu Yin’an would not eat well again, so he filled a bowl of warm black chicken soup from the casserole, hoping to moisten Qiu Yin’an’s stomach.
Wan Qiongju gently placed the soup bowl next to Qiu Yin’an’s bowl of stirred soup. “Master, don’t think about the elixir for now. If you focus on it, you will easily get trapped in the situation. It’s better to take a rest first. Maybe you can find a solution if you turn around.”
“If Bai Chengying doesn’t recover for a day, I feel that I will always owe him, and he will definitely have to blame you.” Qiu Yin’an looked at the oil in the bowl of soup, and his already weak appetite dropped a bit.
In order not to make Wan Qiongju worry about him, he decided to take a sip. Unexpectedly, he took a spoonful and scooped up a thick piece of Codonopsis pilosula. Qiu Yin felt uneasy and saw that the Codonopsis pilosula was also not good, so he threw the spoon away.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Qiongju immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Qiu Yin’an.
Qiu Yin’an clicked his tongue irritably. He picked up the piece of Codonopsis pilosula in the soup bowl and threw it into the lily and lotus seed soup next to it. “This spirit fox is really becoming less and less interested. Codonopsis pilosula is lukewarm in nature, while lily and lotus seed soup is cold in nature.”, eating the two together disturbs the spleen and stomach, and he insists on sitting at the same table. I think he is thinking about Bai Chengying all day long, and wishes he could get rid of all my affairs quickly so that he can go to Wanyun Pavilion and watch her.”
Wan Qiongju hurriedly took away the two bowls that had offended Qiu Yin’an. He said comfortingly: “Master, don’t be angry. It’s just cooking, not serious decoction. Besides, this table of dishes uses so many ingredients. No matter how meticulous Linghu is, there are still some omissions.”
With that said, Wan Qiongju picked up a piece of shiny hawthorn cheese and handed it to Qiu Yin’an’s lips, “Master, I don’t have a good appetite. Why don’t you try this first?”
Qiu Yin’an stared at the shiny hawthorn cheese on her lips. She opened her mouth and bit down a piece. The sweet and sour taste melted on the tip of her tongue. Most of the depression in her heart dissipated with the sweet and sour taste. “Forget it, it’s really hard work for him to make such things.”
Seeing Qiu Yin’an’s brows relax, Wan Qiongju took the opportunity to feed him two more bites of food. In the past few days, Qiu Yin’an’s already thin face had become narrower due to worrying about Bai Chengying.
When Wan Qiongju handed over the third chopstick, Qiu Yin’an hadn’t finished swallowing the food in his mouth. He raised his hand to stop Wan Qiongju’s wrist and pushed the chopstick back, “I’d better drink some soup first.”
Wan Qiongju served Qiu Yin’s soup again. He twirled the spoon and fiddled with it carefully, deliberately avoiding all the Codonopsis pilosula slices and some finely chopped side dishes.
Qiu Yin’an’s eyes wandered between the two bowls that Wan Qiongju had just removed. He was just about to ask Wan Qiongju to hand over the bowl of soup when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly grabbed Wan Qiongju’s hand.Ju’s hand holding the soup said, “Xiao Wan, you said that ingredients are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing. So when we put two kinds of elixirs into the furnace together when making elixirs, will it be like this, because the medicinal properties conflict and the original efficacy of the medicine is lost?”
As soon as the thought occurred, the two people’s eyes suddenly brightened. The elixir previously refined for Yao Ye’s sister had detoxifying properties, but the sitting Buddha’s hand happened to be slightly poisonous. If the two were refining in the same furnace, and the ingredients really conflicted like this, the medicinal properties of the sitting Buddha’s hand would have been lost at this time. This is probably the reason why the elixir did not work.
Finished, this elixir is refined.
Qiu Yin’an sighed, “So that’s the problem.”
Wan Qiongju’s hand holding the spoon suddenly froze. After a while, he sat back on the wooden chair with annoyance in his eyes, “I was negligent. I shouldn’t have put other pills in it.”
“How can I blame you? You were also trying to save people. If you didn’t give it a try, who would have known what the result would be?” Qiu Yin’an stood up, touched Wan Qiongju’s hand and said comfortingly: “Besides, I agreed to the release of the elixir, so there’s no need to blame.”
Wan Qiongju: “How is Master going to explain to Bai Chengying? Will he believe it? He must think I did it on purpose.”
Qiu Yin’an: “You don’t need to worry about this matter. I will explain it to him. But we must go to Hanling White Cliff again.”
There was a hint of sadness between Wan Qiongju’s eyebrows, “My eagle has eaten the Buddha’s hand once and knows it is poisonous. It will never eat it a second time. We want to find the Buddha’s hand again this time, but I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort. I don’t know if we can still find it.”
Qiu Yin’an patted Wan Qiongju’s shoulder and said, “It doesn’t matter. Fortunately, Hanling White Cliff is not as dangerous as recorded in the classics. After Chen Liang is dealt with, I will firmly assume the position of Lord. After everything is stable, I will send a few elders with powerful magic to help find him.”
“Yes.” Wan Qiongju nodded, “I will accompany Master when the time comes. I will definitely refine the elixir this time and won’t make any mistakes again.”
There was still lingering self-blame in Wan Qiongju’s eyes, so Qiu Yin’an comforted him, “Don’t think too much about this matter.”
This elixir is very important to Qiu Yin’an. It is the key to Qiu Yin’an and Bai Chengying being able to get along with each other. How can Wan Qiongju not blame himself.
Wan Qiongju: “Master, if you don’t punish me, I will feel better.”
Qiu Yin’an: “I can’t bear the punishment, so I can’t bear it.”
Wan Qiongju was stunned for a moment, then put his head on Qiu Yin’an’s shoulder and whispered in his ear: “Master really doesn’t blame me at all.”
Wan Qiongju’s breath tickled Qiu Yin’an’s ears. He held her in his arms and persuaded her, “No wonder, you didn’t do it intentionally. I will solve everything, don’t worry.”
Qiu Yin’an’s pampering made Wan Qiongju addicted. He rubbed Qiu Yin’an’s ear twice and continued to ask: “What will happen to Master if I really take the pill secretly?”
How?
Qiu Yin’an looked down at the young man on his shoulder for a long time. He couldn’t quite imagine the face of this well-behaved young man who would go against his will.
After a long time, Qiu Yin’an gave a carefully considered answer, “I will definitely be very angry, but I think if you ask me for forgiveness, maybe I can’t help but forgive you in the end.”
Wan Qiongju chuckled lightly, raised his head, and stared into Qiu Yin’an’s eyes sincerely and clearly, “Master, I really didn’t take that pill.”
Qiu Yin’an: “I believe you.”
