The Transmigrated Pharmacist’s Counterattack

The people suddenly became timid. Lin Yi felt it baffling and asked Qingfeng, “What’s the matter with them?”

Qingfeng answered, “A great majority of the Pei Family’s businesses are held in the hands of the Eldest Young Master, including the allocation of cultivation resources in the Pei Family from the highest to the lowest. This was a matter that the Patriarch set in place in order to make these people not dare to flaunt their power in front of the Eldest Young Master.”

Lin Yi understood. Pei Qi’s words were threatening them just now, so it was no wonder their arrogance suddenly took a nosedive.

To wimp out so quickly, they must have suffered many losses at Pei Xuanqing’s hands in the past.

Pei Xuanqing was different from a blind man like him. He was very tactful……

Lin Yi’s mind wandered for a moment before returning to his senses. Since these people noticed the commotion around Heaven’s Query Courtyard, others certainly noticed it as well, and there was no telling if they would come running over to look for trouble.

At that moment, he heard Pei Xuanqing say, “Pei Qi, send extra manpower to the courtyard gate. Don’t let anyone come in. Just say I’m feeling unwell.”

“Young Master, what if the Patriarch or Master sends someone over to inquire?”

“Have them return first. Just say that I will explain it myself, and don’t say anything else.”

“Understood.”

……

Lin Yi was a bit worried. Was the matter of him awakening his spiritual element difficult to handle? Otherwise, why would Pei Xuanqing go to such lengths to hide it for him?

“What are you thinking about?”

Pei Xuanqing’s voice pulled Lin Yi back to his senses, and he only then noticed that Pei Xuanqing had arrived before him.

“Did awakening my spiritual element cause trouble for you?” Lin Yi asked.

As soon as Pei Xuanqing heard this, he knew what had just happened had been heard by Lin Yi, so he said, “It’s just inadvisable to publicize it for the time being. Many people from both the Pei and Lin Families know why you married in and are secretly watching and listening for news from Heaven Query’s Courtyard. If, in the case, the matter of you awakening your spiritual element comes out, we will inevitably have to deal with people from both families.”

Upon reflection, Lin Yi felt that what Pei Xuanqing said had a point; it was just——

“I’ve always been wondering. How is it that they want me to treat your legs?”

For a moment, Pei Xuanqing became subtly taciturn.

Lin Yi became even more curious, “You can’t tell me?”

“That’s not the case. It’s just that I always felt this matter unreliable, and I didn’t intend to act according to it. I haven’t spoken of it out of fear of futilely provoking your displeasure.” Pei Xuanqing said.

He was afraid of offending him? It seemed that this treatment method was in no way beneficial to him, perhaps even worse than the Dual Cultivation he’d thought. Lin Yi already had a guess in mind.

Pei Xuanqing didn’t tell him for his own good, it’s just…… the Lin Family knew that there was a problem with the method but still married him off, willingly pushing him into the fire pit. He must figure out what the exact method is and, in the future, settle old and new grudges together!

“Then let’s leave it for now, but after we cure your legs, is it possible that you could tell me about this matter in detail? You can rest assured, you’ve been so good to me, so I won’t look for trouble from your Pei Family. It’s just that the Lin Family and I have an old grudge, and there are some scores to settle.” As Lin Yi spoke, his tone went cold.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanqing felt thoughtful and recalled the matters Pei Qi had investigated, replying, “Alright.”

Lin Yi revealed a smile, “It’s a deal then.”

After speaking, his smile faltered, feeling somewhat embarrassed when he remembered the purpose of coming over, “Could you please give me some more time regarding the prescription? Two days at most.”

The Pharmacopoeia was hiding something from him at the moment. If something went wrong, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Pei Xuanqing. It was better to be cautious.

Who knew that Pei Xuanqing would be so keen, “Did something happen?”

“No, no, I just need to prepare.” Lin Yi hurriedly said, his tone inevitably a bit guilty.

He thought he hid it well, but Pei Xuanqing had already noticed it, and Pei Qi, who stood behind him, was dissatisfied and about to open his mouth but was stopped by Pei Xuanqing’s outstretched hand.

“You just awakened your spiritual element and need some time to comprehend and consolidate. When you are ready, have Qingfeng come and inform me.”

“Thank you.” Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
