CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

267 The ‘Old’ Master

BaiYing still looked at the Crown Prince, then at Elder Yi, so many things had happened, its all was all like a dream, was it because he was too tired? His eyes were very heavy, his steps too. His body seemed to have reached its last limit of strength, however, he actually still had so much in his body that he was worried that it would explode at any moment and injure everyone around him, what if that happened? Will he hurt everyone?

Maybe that was what the Crown Prince would discuss with Elder Yi at this time, he couldn’t wait until tomorrow or any longer than today, according to Elder Yi, in order for his energy to stabilize BaiYing had to practice controlling his inner strength, and that could only be done inside the Cold Stone Cave, the cave had all the Yin and Yang energies in balance which could make all the excess energy in his body calmer, and that he had to do, or he would cause disaster one day because of his strength, but, he wouldn’t be able to be done in an instant.

Elder Yi needed at least twenty years to heal his profound energy, and another twenty years to make it perfect and back to it was, imagine how many years it would take BaiYing to heal his meridians core? Perhaps, it would take longer than that, but, could the Crown Prince wait any longer in this valley?

....

Meanwhile in the front yard of the Medicine Valley college’s main building.

The Crown Prince was still standing with the others in the front while Physician Ou approached quickly from inside the house, immediately clenching his two hands in front of his chest to greet the Crown Prince.

“Forgive servant, Your Majesty, I was in the middle of morning meditation, thank God Your Majesty and the King have returned safely”

LuoXiang handed the reins of his horse to the little guard who approached him, while YoTang immediately approached Physician Ou to greet him.

“Teacher, are you all right?”

.....

Physician Ou nodded.

“Of course, you guys must be tired, hurry inside to rest first.”

Elder Yi, that man looks very suspicious, thought Crown Prince, BeiYau and ShinYa, who looked at the man who was not an ordinary person as if he was going around surveying the location of the college.

Physician Ou stuttered, he seemed to be seeing a young man for the first time looking around his yard, holding the plants, holding several other objects, hanging medicinal leaves, to some hanging herbs.

“Er sorry, this Master is..”

The Crown Prince waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his waist, and walked into the main grand building. BeiYau, ShinYa, and ChenMing followed him.

“Your Majesty, who is that?” BeiYau whispered.

As usual, LuoXiang didn’t have many expressions, he just looked ahead into the house where some of the palace maids already prepared drinks and snacks for everyone. The Crown Prince sat on a chair in the interior, two little maids lowered their knees slightly while placing a basin of water with clean cloths for the Crown Prince to usually clean up.

But LuoXiang waved his hand, BeiYau nodded his head asking all the unauthorized maids to leave the room.

“Leave us.”

“Yes, Guard Bei”

The Crown Prince reached for his teacup. This journey was very tiring, and he couldn’t wait to hug his YingYing, however, the silver-haired man’s words made him have to wait for the person to give an explanation.

“I don’t know who the young master is, but he is definitely not an ordinary, he has extraordinary inner strength, without much effort he can defeat the creatures easily, if he doesn’t think about YingYing was in YiXing’s hostage, from the beginning he might be able to match that lecherous man,” said the Crown Prince.

BeiYau widen his eyes, looking outside where the silver-haired man was seen talking with Physician Ou outside.

“Young Master, please come in, you must be tired, this Medicine valley is open for anyone,” said Physician Ou, he often smiled while frowning, as if he knew the man but he had never met such a handsome young man before, from a glance, he does look quite familiar.

Elder Yi looked around, holding a dry medicinal leaf hanging on the terrace, and looked around, then looked at Physician Ou, observing the man from head to toe, the man stroked his chin, smiling at Physician Ou who was still dumbfounded at him.

“E th- this Young Master”

“Heh, I went for a long time, this college hasn’t changed much, in fact, look at this, it’s very shabby and old clothes, are you guys really that poor so you can’t buy good cloth to make proper and beautiful clothes?”

“Hemh, you guys look so pitiful” he continued.

Elder Yi’s words left Physician Ou speechless, YoTang looked at the silver-haired man who he thought was rude to his teacher. But he saw with his own eyes how powerful the man was, he was not an ordinary person.

“E-Elder, you shouldn’t have talked to my Master like that, a-after all you should be a little polite to an older man.”

Hearing that Elder Yi chuckled, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hahahaha this kid is your disciple? No wonder I feel you two are so similar”

Physician Ou and YoTang looked at each other.

Until Elder Yi flicked his sleeves and walked into the house.

“Hah well”

Physician Ou frowned, he seemed to see someone he knew very well from the man, the old man hurriedly followed the man in.

“Eh Elder, sorry, you, like someone I know.”

Elder Yi took a seat next to the Crown Prince who looked at him with sharp eyes the man took a deep breath, looked around the room, and saw Physician Ou.

“LuLu, what, you didn’t replace the broken piece of wood with a much nicer one? I told you didn’t I? don’t use hollow wood, you should have picked from the best quality wood in the forest to fix the beams, look at this, heh, this building will soon fall again”

Physician Ou’s eyes widened, if he’s not mistaken just one person in this world who called him by that title, the old man approached took a closer look at Elder Yi’s face, and his eyes widened, even more, when he saw the silver-haired man’s eyes and smile, he couldn’t be wrong.

“T-Teacher?”

Hearing that everyone turned their heads, including the Crown Prince who was about to take a sip of his tea, while Elder Yi simply smiled as he ruffled his long silver hair in front of his shoulders.

“Apparently, I’ve been away from this place for forty years, and this place is, heh, still as ugly as it used to be.”

Physician Ou could hardly believe his eyes, but he couldn’t help but lower his knees in front of Elder Yi.

“Teacher! You’re back!”

Soon after that.

The silver-haired man with a smooth face was not what he appeared to be.

The man turned to the Crown Prince while clenching his fists in front of his head.

“Forgive Servant for being so impudent, Your Majesty, the Honorable Crown Prince, please let me introduce myself, Servant is YiMan, people, know me better as BaoYi.”

The Crown Prince swallowed hard, his eyes scrutinizing the man in front of him.

“You, it said to be the famous great master of BaoYi?”

Elder Yi, otherwise known as Grand Master BaoYi shook his head.

“Hehe I’m not that famous, really can’t be called that, it’s just a coincidence, I’m just a bit famous”

The Crown Prince put his teacup back slowly on the saucer, responding to the great man calmly.

“You may only be the successor, Grand Master BaoYi is very old, if he is still alive now he is about a hundred years?”

Elder Yi chuckled.

“Hehehe, Servant is not that old Your Highness, Servant is ninety-five years old”

ShinYa advanced.

“Excuse me for interrupting Your Majesty, This elder claims to be Great Master BaoYi, what makes you think we will believe you? Before my father passed away, Grand Master was already rumored to have died due to illness, what, all of this, is really just a rumor?” asked ShinYa while glancing at Physician Ou.

Physician Ou stuttered, he also looked at the man who claimed to be his teacher, he himself was a little doubtful, although admittedly the two were very similar.

“Hehehe why do I have to prove it? If you don’t believe me, well, there’s no point in me admitting to being that ugly old man, anyway, look at my face now, indeed, no one will believe that this servant is that wrinkled and ugly great teacher of BaoYi”

Healer Ou stuttered, that innocent old man probably thought that he had been tricked by that man again.

“Mas-.. uh this Master”

Elder Yi couldn’t help himself, he finally burst out laughing at the look on Physician Ou’s face that made him amused.

“Hahahaha LuLu, are you still so easy to trick on? Oh man, are you really able to survive in this extremely cruel world with this kind of attitude? It’s really really funny”

Watching him ChenMing nudge BeiYau’s arm who’s looking so seriously.

“This guy is really such annoying huh?”

“Master BaoYi is known to be sociable and playful, this might be him.”
