Chapter 156: Bai Guzhu
After the old man walked into the hall, he swept his eyes over everyone sternly, finally stopping on Bai Yichen.
"Yi Chen, do you know the rules of the valley? How can you bring outsiders into the valley without permission?" His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
Bai Yichen quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Elder Bai, they are not ordinary outsiders. This lady is the one I mentioned to you. She has excellent medical skills and may be able to save the Valley Master's life. That's why I took the liberty to bring them in."
After hearing what Bai Yichen said, Elder Bai frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Ye Zirou.
He looked at Ye Zirou carefully, with suspicion and scrutiny in his eyes.
"Her? A young girl, how can her medical skills be better than yours?" Elder Bai looked at Ye Zirou with suspicion, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Elder Bai, seriously, I didn't lie to you. This is the current War King Mo Tianyu. Even I can't cure his poison, but his wife can cure it."
"Oh? He looks so young, does he really have the abilities you said?" Elder Bai looked at Ye Zirou, secretly puzzled.
Ye Zirou stood there, her expression unchanged, and greeted Elder Bai's scrutiny calmly.
She smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said politely: "Elder Bai, although I am still young, I have some knowledge of medicine. As for whether I can save the Valley Master, I need to understand the Valley Master's condition first."
Elder Bai was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Ye Zirou's words.
Finally, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, since you are already here, follow me and let me see how capable you are."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the back of the hall.
Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu looked at each other, then followed without hesitation.
They walked through a long corridor and came to a room.
Elder Bai pushed open the door, and a faint smell of herbs filled the air.
Elder Bai led Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu into the room, only to see a middle-aged man lying on the bed. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was barely breathing. It was obvious that his condition was very serious.
Ye Zirou stared at the person in front of her in a daze.
Elder Bai stood aside, looking at Ye Zirou quietly, and said, "Little girl, I am here now, you can see what you can do. If you are just a name in vain, then please leave our Baiyi Valley today."
Ye Zirou ignored Elder Bai's threats and slowly walked to the Valley Master and gently took his pulse. Her expression was focused and calm, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
After a moment, Ye Zirou loosened her hand and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Bai Yichen asked softly, "How is it?"
Ye Zirou said to Elder Bai and Bai Yichen, "Valley Master Bai's condition is indeed very serious, but it is not incurable."
After hearing what Ye Zirou said, Elder Bai showed an expression of disbelief on his face and was greatly shocked.
"Can you really save him?"
Ye Zirou nodded decisively without any hesitation.
When Ye Zirou went forward to check, there was no indication of poisoning in the space. She also checked the blood and it was confirmed that there was no poisoning or any drugs.
If that’s the case, then why has Master Bai remained unconscious?
This question has been lingering in Ye Zirou's mind.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to activate one of her special skills - turning on the X-ray.
As her eyes wandered inside the Valley Master's body following the X-ray scan results, suddenly, her eyes froze and an expression of extreme shock appeared on her face.
It turned out that she discovered that there were parasites in Master Bai's brain. This discovery was completely beyond her expectations and made her gasp involuntarily.
She knew that the parasites in the brain were the key reason why Master Baigu fell into a coma, but solving this problem was not easy.
"How long has he been unconscious?" Ye Zirou asked
"Almost five years?" Bai Yichen replied.
"Five years?" Ye Zirou couldn't help but let out a slight sound of doubt.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Bai Yichen asked back.
"So what on earth happened to cause him to become like this?" Ye Zirou asked.
Bai Yichen frowned slightly and immersed himself in the deep sea of memories.
Five years ago, after Bai Yichen returned to the valley, he went to the residence of Master Bai without any delay.
When he arrived at the door of Master Bai Gu's room, he stopped and began to whisper outside the door what he had seen and heard as usual.
However, when he talked about how he accidentally met a woman at the foot of the mountain, and that woman's appearance and temperament were surprisingly similar to the person in the portrait hanging in his room, his tone unconsciously became more excited.
Master Bai suddenly opened the door of the room and stared at Bai Yichen with shock and anxiety on his face.
"What did you just say?" Master Bai's voice trembled a little.
"Master, I met a woman at the foot of the mountain who looked very much like the person in the portrait in the room." Bai Yichen said as he raised his hand and pointed at the portrait in the room.
Master Bai looked in the direction of Bai Yichen's finger.
Then, he quickly turned his gaze to Bai Yichen's face and asked anxiously, "How old is that woman? Who is she? Where does she live now?"
"That woman is about my age. She is Ye Zirou, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the capital. She is currently on her way to Seoul."
However, after hearing Bai Yichen's answer, the expectation and excitement on Master Bai's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a deep sense of loss.
His eyes became dim, he turned around silently, and walked into the room step by step, each step seemed so heavy.
"It's not her, it's not her." Master Bai muttered to himself as he walked, his voice full of disappointment.
"Master, Master?" Bai Yichen looked at his master's lonely back, his heart filled with worry and confusion. He didn't understand why his master would react like this.
Master Bai did not respond to Bai Yichen's call. He just raised his hand gently, signaling Bai Yichen to stop talking.
Then he slowly walked to the chair in the room and sat down slowly.
"Master, her medical skills are amazing. Do you remember that I saved a prince before? He was poisoned by a poison that I couldn't cure, but she did. She also married the prince, but now they are exiled to Seoul. She said that she will come to visit you when she is settled."
Bai Yichen continued to introduce the woman's situation to his master, hoping to arouse his master's interest.
"Okay, got it. You may go down." Valley Master Bai's voice was very calm, without a trace of emotion.
Bai Yichen shook his head helplessly. He knew that his master was in a bad mood. He gently took a few steps back, then turned and left the room.
At the moment of leaving, he looked back at his master again, and that lonely figure was deeply imprinted in his mind.
