Chapter 19: Indifference

  A flash of lightning flashed by, and Pei Hu'er's figure also disappeared from Ye Bai's line of sight at the same time.

  Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and after regaining her composure, she continued walking towards Tianfu Mingyuan.

  "You've finally come back, we were all waiting for you to have dinner."

  As soon as he entered the door, Long Hao Ran put down the game console in his hand and came up to greet him. Seeing Ye Bai's dripping wet clothes, he said, "Take a shower and change your clothes first."

  Ye Bai nodded and put down her umbrella before heading straight into the restroom.

  After flushing, Ye Bai walked out of the bathroom just like he did every night after taking a bath.

  This has already become natural.

  But today is different. Although it's pitch black outside with strong winds and heavy rain, it's actually just before 7pm and everyone hasn't had dinner yet.

  When he came back, there was only Long Haoran in the living room. Hearing the sound of Ye Bai's return, Teacher Xiao Song also came downstairs.

  When Ye Bai walked towards his room without wearing clothes, Teacher Xiao Song was sitting in the living room.

  “**！”

  Teacher Xiao Song inevitably saw Ye Bai, she subconsciously turned her head away, scolded a sentence, and was already flushed with embarrassment.

  "You took advantage of me and still scolded me, this is just you being unscrupulous."

  Ye Bai walked towards his own room, muttering to himself in a strange and eerie tone

  "Who cares about your body!"

  Young Song teacher directly snatched the game console from Long Hao Ran's hands and fiercely smashed it towards Ye Bai.

  However, Ye Bai had already entered the room, and the game console naturally smashed against the door, shattering into pieces.

  Long Hao Ran was stunned, just wanting to ask for compensation, but seeing Teacher Xiao Song being so angry that his hands were shaking, he wisely shut up.

  Long Haochen lost his gaming console and could only hold his chin with both hands, quietly pondering.

  Yebai changed into clothes and came out to cook a table of dishes. She also specially cooked a light fish soup for Yuexin, who hadn't come downstairs.

  After dinner, Long Hao Ran returned to his room to play games, while Ye Bai cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.

  Whoever cooks, whoever cleans up, everyone is like this, and there's nothing unfair about it. Ye Bai didn't mind these things just because he was a big man; after all, when they were on the mountain, he did the cooking and washing dishes every day.

  "Yu Xing is awake now. She says she wants to talk with you. I'll send the fish soup up first, and then you can come up after you've finished cleaning up."

  Young Master Song seemed unwilling to be alone with Ye Bai for even half a moment, and after saying this, he picked up the pot and spoon and went upstairs.

  Ten minutes later, Ye Bai also arrived in Yu Xin's room.

  Yu Xun was indeed awake, but she was lying in bed with an IV drip, her face still pale as paper. Teacher Xiao Song was sitting at the head of the bed feeding her fish soup, one spoonful at a time, very seriously.

  Ye Bai walked to the head of the bed, feigning a face of anger and righteousness, saying: "Who made our Yu Xiang sister like this? Tell me, I will make him regret it!"

  Teacher Xiao Song rolled his eyes at Ye Bai.

  "Thank you... for saving me." Yu Xin shook her head at Little Song, stopped drinking the soup and asked, "I heard that you have a way to make me fully recover, including the injuries on my tendons and veins, is that right?"

  Ye Bai nodded and said with a seemingly difficult tone: "The method is available, but I'm afraid you won't be willing."

  "You go first and let me hear it." Yu Xin said calmly.

  "Your meridians have been weakened by the severe poison, and if you engage in intense exercise, they will be damaged again or even rupture. The key is that those meridians won't automatically recover, and ordinary nourishing methods are of little use to them. So, if you want to fully recover, you must rely on external forces." Ye Bai analyzed with a very serious expression.

  "What external force? Speak clearly." Yu Xin replied.

  Teacher Xiao Song also had a curious expression on his face.

  "It's the technique of Tuina, where some medicine that has a miraculous effect on recovering meridians is placed in the palm, and then pushed and rubbed at the place where your meridian is damaged, so that the medicine can take full effect on your meridian." Ye Bai explained.

  "What's so special about this method?" Teacher Xiao Song asked in puzzlement.

  "The key is, not everyone can use this massage technique. For example, Teacher Song, even if you understand the meridians and acupoints, you definitely can't rub the medicine in your palm into Rain's meridians. Even a skilled person may be able to rub it in, but they may not be able to control the amount, after all, Rain's injured meridians are very fragile, and slight carelessness will cause further injury, or even permanent damage." Yeh Bai added with a shake of his head.

  "You mean we need to find an expert with experience in this area?" Little Song seemed to understand.

  "It's probably hard to find such a master!" Yuxin's face also darkened slightly.

  The three of them fell silent for a moment.

  "Xiao Bai, since you know this method, you must also know how to apply it, right?" Teacher Xiao Song suddenly asked.

  "I naturally can, but after all I'm a man, Rain's sister's injured place can't have me rubbing it every day, right?" Ye Bai replied with an unchanged expression.

  "Me too." Teacher Xiao Song nodded and fell silent again.

  Yu Xun's face became complicated, she wanted to recover and had to recover, it was related to her killer career, and even more related to her and her brother's future.

  "Yesterday when you saved me, you also rubbed the injured place over and over again. You saw everything that I should and shouldn't see, what else can't I let go of? As long as it really allows me to recover like before, I don't mind letting you take advantage of me a bit more." Yu Xin said with her mouth that she didn't care, but her lips were trembling.

  "It's actually okay if the tendons are injured, it just means you can't use too much force. You girls don't have to do any heavy labor anyway, so even if the tendons don't recover, it won't affect your daily life." Ye Bai advised with a seemingly kind tone.

  Teacher Xiao Song nodded, seemingly thinking that Ye Bai was right. She still didn't know what Yu Xin did or why she got hurt last night.

  "Hehe." Yu Xin let out a bitter laugh, she didn't even dare to hope for a normal woman's life. "I've already made up my mind, trouble you to start treating me tomorrow, okay?"

  Teacher Xiao Song had wanted to persuade her a bit more, but seeing Yu Xins determined expression, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. After all, although they called each other sisters, their relationship was not very deep.

  "There's one more thing I need to mention, the medicine you'll need to recover your meridians is very precious, so it's estimated that you'll have to prepare a large sum of money first." Ye Bai continued.

  "About how much?" Yu Xing asked with a frown.

  "I'm not too sure either, but we can look it up on the computer."

  Ye Bai said, and then opened the computer in Yu Xin's room. He awkwardly added: "Teacher Xiao Song, I'll talk about the objects, you investigate, I'm not very familiar with computers."

  Teacher Xiao Song was also very cooperative and sat down in front of the computer. After it started up, she opened a webpage and said, "Go ahead, which medicinal herbs are we talking about?"

  At least thirty years old ginseng, three strains, about two catties of high-quality Cordyceps sinensis...

  Ye Bai said in one breath nearly twenty kinds of precious medicinal herbs, and each had its own requirements.

  Just hearing these medicinal materials, Yu Xin was slightly startled.

  Teacher Xiao Song searched for almost an hour, occasionally using a pen to record on a white paper.

  Finally, after careful calculation, Teacher Xiao Song's face was shocked, saying: "If all are bought, at least it will be nearly 500,000."

  Is 500,000 still a lot? Sister Yu Xin is an assassin, shouldn't assassins make a lot of money?

  Ye Bai thought carelessly at the same time, secretly thinking that Teacher Xiao Song was narrow-minded.

  In fact, these medicinal materials are dispensable. Ye Bai's healing of Yu Xin mainly relies on his own abilities, and he just uses some precious medicinal materials to cover it up, so he doesn't have high requirements for those medicinal materials.

  For a hitman, five hundred thousand is indeed not a lot, but Yu Xing had a difficult expression.

  She is an assassin, but every time she completes a task, she can't get enough pay, and can only get enough money to live a comfortable life, not as wealthy as ordinary people imagine.

  Seeing Yu Xin's face, Ye Bai was secretly surprised in his heart... This girl can't even take out 500,000 yuan?
