But when I returned to the table, the porridge had already turned cold, with a few strands of hair floating in the bowl. This meal was inedible.

Yun Yang glared at his senior brother with a resentful expression. "Senior brother, you owe me for the meal."

Yun Lin gave him a cold glance and said, "What does this have to do with me? If you didn't mess around while getting ready, wouldn't it have been resolved earlier? How could it be delayed for half an hour?"

Yun Yang stared at his senior brother, feeling speechless. How did it become his fault? Doubts started to arise in his mind. Actually, wasn't it his senior brother who caught a cold? Maybe his senior brother's mind was muddled, that's why his attitude towards him was a little different today?

After being scolded by his master earlier, regardless of how good his attitude towards him was, at the very least, he fulfilled his responsibility as the eldest senior brother in taking care of his junior brother.

But today, it seems like Senior Martial Brother is intentionally picking on him.

"Lunchtime is almost here. Just hold on a bit longer, and I'll go to Master Hui'an's place to get your medicine." After saying that, Yun Lin left Yun Yang alone in the room without even looking back.

After coming out of the room, Yun Ling went to the medicinal cabin near the back mountain. It was a solitary small courtyard, very spacious, with no tall trees around. This was because Shifu Hui'an needed a large enough space to dry medicinal herbs and it required ample sunlight. He was afraid that the trees would obstruct the sunlight.

As Yun Lin approached the medicinal hut, she could already smell a strong medicinal scent. On the shelves inside and outside the courtyard, many medicine materials that Brother Shishu Hui'an had collected over the past few days were sun-drying. The small courtyard was surrounded by a fence, and inside, a piece of land had been dug for growing some rare medicinal herbs. However, probably due to unsuitable soil conditions, they were not growing very well.

At this moment, Hui'an was wearing a short, coarse gown while sun-drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Upon hearing approaching footsteps not far away, he looked up and saw Yunlin coming towards him. He smiled and said, "It's not even time yet, and you're here so quickly? It seems that my eldest nephew has truly encountered someone who captures his attention. My youngest nephew is really lucky to have the chief disciple of Xuan Yin Sect personally attending to him."

Hui An's words did not cause any change in Yun Lin's expression or emotions. He walked slowly towards Hui An's side and said, "Master Uncle, if you're done making fun of me, let's have a chat."

"What are we talking about?" Hui'an looked puzzled. "Master's nephew, I am currently focused on managing these herbs and refining medicine. If it is a matter concerning the Xuan Yin Sect, I will not interfere."

"I'm not here to discuss the matters of the Profound Sound Sect with you," Yun Leng knew that his senior apprentice brother's thoughts revolved solely around medical skills, so he had no intention of talking about those things with him. "I came to talk to you about Yun Yao instead."

"Hahaha." Hui'an tilted her head back and laughed heartily. "This little nephew of mine is quite impressive. You actually came personally to find me for him."

Yun Lin ignored the teasing from his martial uncle as if he hadn't heard it.

"Come with me," he said.

Hui'an led Yun Ling to the small square table under the eaves, and they sat facing each other. Hui'an poured a cup of herbal tea for Yun Ling from the teapot on the table.

Yun Lin took a shallow sip. The tea had cooled down a bit, and it had a bitter medicinal taste, not enjoyable to drink.

"Speak up, what do you want to say about Little Shizhe?" Shifu Huian was a little curious.

"Is it true that Senior Martial Uncle really has a way to lift the seal on Yunshao's body?"

"Did you doubt my abilities all along? Don't underestimate your senior apprentice-brother. Although I can't yet discern the exact method used to create the seal within Yun Yang's body, utilizing acupuncture techniques to clear the meridians can still yield results, albeit at a slower pace." Hui An was confident in his medical skills.

Seeing his unwavering confidence, Yun Lin no longer doubted, "In that case, I have one request for Senior Martial Brother. Please refrain from mentioning again that you can remove the seal on Yun Yang's body."

"Why?" Hui'an was puzzled. Judging from Yun Lin's concern for Yun Yang, he had thought that Yun Lin would be eager to help Yun Yang lift the seal. Could he have been mistaken? Were these two brothers actually at odds, with their appearances and hearts not in sync?

"I really do want to accept a disciple with exceptional aptitude, you know. If you continue like this, what can I offer your master in exchange? I'm not like you, I have no interest in cultivation. It's difficult to stay forever young and prolong one's life. I don't want to die without anyone inheriting my teachings."

Yun Lin smiled lightly and said, "If Uncle Shi wants to take in a disciple, why don't you just tell Master? As long as Uncle Shi agrees, even if Master doesn't allow it, I'll secretly find one for you."

Yun Lin took another sip of the unpleasant medicinal tea and said, "But, Shishu, please don't be too harsh this time. Your previous disciple was almost killed by your poisonous medicine. If it weren't for Master using his true qi to save him, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave Xuan Yin Sect alive."
