Chapter 35: Learning How to Read and Learn Martial Arts

“Jade retaining pill?”

Yu Shuya became even more interested after hearing Ye Yuxuan’s words.

What kind of medicine was this that could make this guy so proud?

From the name, it was completely indiscernible what it was used for, and it didn’t seem like there was anything special about it.

However, Ye Yuxuan’s smug look clearly told her that this small pill’s ordinary appearance couldn’t represent its value.

She picked up the pill and sniffed it. Immediately, a foul, sour smell assailed her nose.

My god, what is this thing?

She did not feel this way when she held it. Only when she sniffed it could she smell its suffocating stench.

After Yu Shuya experienced the initial shock of the smell, she immediately began to carefully observe what this thing was.

150 grams of wugui, 100 grams of danzhu, a set of chongpi and a set of mountain jasmine…

These herbs were all good things to prevent insects, ants, and wild beasts. Moreover, the dosage was very precise, and the prescription was extremely meticulous.

She knew why Ye Yuxuan not only dared to run around in the forest during the day, but also dared to burrow into the forest at night.

With these things, even a tiger would not be interested in a living person like him.

However, what she did not expect was that this body’s sense of smell was so good. It was exactly the same as her previous life.

Such a good sense of smell was simply one in ten thousand.

Why did she and this body have such a good sense of smell, and why did they have similar names?

Could it be that the two of them were actually related in some way? Was this body her previous life?

“Brother Ye, this jade retaining pill is really good stuff. Was it developed by Master?”

Ye Yuxuan nodded in a reserved manner.

Although he and his master lived in the deep mountains and wild forests, because of this small jade retaining pill, all the bugs and wild beasts dared not approach them.

But after a while, Ye Yuxuan was a little puzzled.

“Shuya, do you know what a jade retaining pill is?”

Yu Shuya nodded, but then shook her head.

The one who knew medicine and medicinal herbs was Yu Min, and she was now Yu Shuya. If a little girl who had been locked up in a nunnery since she was young and had no contact with anyone, and yet she knew so much, then there would definitely be a big problem.

Therefore, with regards to Ye Yuxuan’s question, she only nodded and shook her head ambiguously. She did not even dare to open her mouth to answer.

Although Ye Yuxuan was gullible, it didn’t mean that his brain wasn’t good enough.

She didn’t dare to give herself away in front of this smart person.

Moreover, she would meet another smart person in a while, so she gritted her teeth. The time to test her acting skills would come later.

After Ye Yuxuan asked this question, he didn’t think that he would get an answer.

In his opinion, Yu Shuya had grown up in a nunnery since she was young and had been bullied. Those nuns would definitely not let her learn to read. They would never teach her how to recognize herbs. Not to mention understanding herbs, she probably did not even know how to write the words ‘jade retaining pill’.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuxuan had other thoughts.

He did not know what his master would think of Shuya in a while. If he thought that she was smart and liked her, would he take her in as his disciple and teach her how to read and write.

But if he did not teach her, it did not matter. He could take some time to teach her properly.

No matter what, he did not want Yu Shuya to be a village girl who did not know anything for the rest of her life.

Whether it was being her senior brother or being her teacher, he wanted Yu Shuya to learn to read and learn martial arts.

“Shuya, don’t worry. My master will definitely like you.”

Yu Shuya heard Ye Yuxuan’s affirmative tone and smiled without saying anything.

Even if he didn’t like her, she would do her best to make him like her.

But she didn’t know if this fire lingzhi could make Old Master Wang treat her illness.

What Yu Shuya didn’t know was Ye Yuxuan already had a clear plan for her future in his heart, and this included treating her illness.
