Chapter 379 Charm Potion Has No Effect on Him
"Tell me about yourself first. Why did you come to Qingqiu? You didn't even reply to my letter in such a long time. You didn't even come to see me when I woke up!"

"I received a letter from Minos. I feel relieved to know that you are doing well. I want to visit you again in a while, in case there are too many people around Xiao Luo'er and he can't take care of me."

There was a hint of teasing in Fei Yuan's beautiful and charming phoenix eyes, but deep in her eyes was a deep attachment.

He held the umbrella with one hand, and with the other hand he put his arm around her waist, hugged her, and bent down to kiss her on the forehead.

"I miss you too."

Sang Luo's heart was beating fast. She spent some time with him before asking, "What happened in Qingqiu?"

"It's not a big deal. There's a plague of unknown origin spreading in Qingqiu. I came here to help prepare the medicine, and it took me some time." Fei Yuan pinched her face. "The plague has been almost under control. I was just thinking about going back to see you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

"I, I want to go and find the high priest to make amends. I was the one who planned that incident back then."

Fei Yuan also sighed, not knowing what to say, "I never thought you would be with him..."

He felt really bad for her when he saw her heartbroken, but he couldn't bear to reject her, so he took her to the north, thinking that she might give up completely after hitting a wall. But he didn't expect that something went wrong. Oh! Regret!
If he had known, he shouldn't have said those words!

Sang Luo hesitated, "If I go to see the high priest, will he kill me?"

"That won't happen. At most, I'll just grab you and run away~" Fei Yuan burst out laughing. Sang Luo glared at him resentfully. He regained his composure, rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I've been following that old fox these days, and I see that he's pretty stable. He's never mentioned you and doesn't seem to care much about this. Maybe he's already forgotten you."

"..." She took his talent inheritance, which meant it was his first time, how could he not care!

"Forget it, I'd better go meet him." Otherwise she would feel guilty.

When the guards at the city gate saw Fei Yuan coming, they did not stop them and let the two enter the city.

The courtyard is secluded and quiet. One walks through the corridor, around the rockery and pond, and then enters a pavilion to reach the backyard where the owner lives. The aroma of herbs hits you in the face. The several scattered houses are dignified and elegant, and the layout is very simple and plain, without any unnecessary complicated decorations. It is completely the opposite of Fei Yuan's gorgeous and extravagant Phoenix Palace.

"There's a big difference between your taste and your master's."

"He has lived for so many years and has seen all kinds of good things. He is just returning to his roots."

There are many herbs planted in the back garden. An elegant figure in white clothes stands in front of the garden tending to it. Her snow-white long hair is held up by plum blossom branches. Just one glance at her makes everything around her pale in comparison, as beautiful as a painting.

Sang Luo stood in the corridor and saw this scene, holding her breath. She lowered her head again, feeling very uneasy. Fei Yuan glanced at her, took her hand and walked over.

"Master."

The host had already known about their visit.

Yan finished watering the herbs in the garden and turned to look at the two people who were approaching. His indifferent eyes fell on Sang Luo, and without lingering for too long, he moved his eyes to look at Fei Yuan, "Serve tea to the distinguished guests."

He was not surprised by Sang Luo's arrival, nor did he ask her why she came. His attitude towards her was no different from that of a strange guest, casual yet a little distant.

Sang Luo didn't know what to say, so she sat next to Fei Yuan and listened to him and Yan's casual chat.

The two of them mostly talked about the sudden plague in Qingqiu. They didn't know whether it was man-made or a natural disaster, and there was no clue yet, so they were sending people to investigate.

The two talked for a while before Fei Yuan deliberately turned the topic to Sang Luo. He took out the thank-you gift she had prepared in advance. These precious treasures that were priceless in the outside world were nothing in the eyes of the God, but at least they were a token of his thoughtfulness.

Among them were some herbal seeds that had been lost in the outside world. Yan seemed to be a little interested in them and did not refuse but accepted them.

"Xiao Luo'er, I'm going back to the east. Are you planning to go back with me this time, or what?" Fei Yuan glanced at Yan who was drinking tea quietly across from him, and then looked meaningfully at Sang Luo who was still a little uneasy. He had been in Qingqiu for quite a while, and there were a lot of important matters piled up in the central region that needed his attention.

"I, I am very interested in herbal medicine and want to stay to study it. I wonder if it will disturb the high priest?" Sang Luo looked at the man opposite sincerely.

Fei Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sang Luo. She was lazy and playful, didn't he know that? How could she be so motivated to learn medicine? This excuse was just to deceive outsiders.

The high priest nodded gently, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Sang Luo stayed.

In fact, she wanted to see the high priest's attitude towards her, whether he really didn't care or was deliberately ignoring her.

She often followed Yan around these days, and she got to know the high priest better. He looked gentle and easy-going, but in fact he was a bit cold and inhuman. Once a person has lived for too long, everything will be hard to see.

He usually tends to herbs and reads medical books, and has nothing else to do.

Yan seemed to treat Sang Luo as just a guest staying in the courtyard. He did not interfere with what she did. Sometimes, if Sang Luo wanted to read medical books, he would take the initiative to find them for her.

Her set of bowls and chopsticks would also be prepared for meals.

Other than that, the two didn't talk much.

The high priest spoke very little, and Sang Luo could only speak a few words to him in a day.

There is no deliberate coldness, just casualness and indifference.

He... really seemed to not care about her.

One day after dinner, Sang Luo found an opportunity to speak out the words hidden in his heart.
"I'm sorry about what happened that day!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at his expression.

After a while, there was no response.

Sang Luo looked up at him nervously again.

Yan cleared the dishes on the table before looking at her, "Do you think that medicine will work for me?"

Sang Luo was stunned. What does that mean?
"Fei Yuan learned his medical skills from me." Yan poured her a cup of herbal tea.

Sang Luo hesitated, "I think his medical skills cannot be as simple as just a result of long-term illness. Without the careful guidance of a doctor, it would be impossible for him to cultivate to such a perfect level."

"Well, that child was poisoned by a Gu, and had nowhere to turn to for help, so he came to me to learn from me."

“……” Sang Luo understood what Yan meant. If Fei Yuan’s medical skills were second, then his medical skills must be the best.

The charm potion is just a kind of medicine. Yan has many ways to dissolve it. It is easy for him, unless he himself... doesn't want to.

His thoughts were in a mess and his fingers clenched the rim of the cup.

Sang Shi really couldn't understand, "That day the high priest..."

Yan said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it. I won't look for you. If you want to leave, you can leave this courtyard at any time."
