"Miss Feng?" Yu Dashan saw Feng Yunshu suddenly stop talking. He didn't know if he had said something wrong or missed something, so he asked again, "Miss Feng, what exactly do you want to know?"
Feng Yunshu looked at Yu Dashan and didn't think he was pretending. Moreover, he had no reason to hide anything from her. There were only two possibilities. Either she had guessed wrong, or Mrs. Yu hadn't told her son for some reason.
"It's okay, Brother Yu. I'm already very satisfied to get this portrait back and see what my mother looked like. I really have to thank you for keeping this portrait all this time."
Feng Yunshu thought she would look for other clues after she got back. It was getting late, so it was time to go back.
Before leaving, seeing that Yu Dashan was not very old but in such poor health, Feng Yunshu gave him a diagnosis.
Yu Dashan was a bit surprised. "Miss Feng, do you also know medicine?"
"Just a little."
Of course, Feng Yunshu was being modest. After feeling Yu Dashan's pulse, she found that his physical weakness was caused by not having enough to eat or wear for a long time. Coupled with the poor living environment which was prone to breeding germs, he just couldn't muster up any energy.
"There's nothing seriously wrong with your body. I'll send someone to get the medicine for you tomorrow. You need to boil one dose every day to recover."
After giving these instructions, Feng Yunshu felt for her purse to take out some silver, but she remembered that she had forgotten to bring any silver with her today.
At this time, Helan Yanting took off the purse on his waist and handed it to Feng Yunshu. "Does Madam need some silver?"
Feng Yunshu naturally took Helan Yanting's purse and gave a little laugh. "Your Highness really knows me well."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu opened Helan Yanting's purse, took out a hundred - tael silver note from it, and turned to hand it to Yu Dashan. "Brother Yu, in the past, Mrs. Yu always served beside my mother whole - heartedly. But my vicious stepmother couldn't tolerate anyone. She was so cruel and always suppressed those around my mother. It was really hard on Mrs. Yu."
"Now you're in such a state. If Mrs. Yu knew in the underworld, she definitely wouldn't be at ease. Take this silver note. Fix up this house, buy some things, and then go out to find a job. Get married and have children as soon as possible. Only then will Mrs. Yu be at ease in the underworld."
Yu Dashan had never seen such a large amount of silver before. He was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head to refuse. "Miss Feng, this is not appropriate! I can't take this without doing anything! My mother told me to keep this portrait well. It wasn't really any trouble. I can't take this silver note!"
"It's getting late. We have to go back quickly to avoid any unexpected problems. This is what you deserve. Consider it as my compensation to Mrs. Yu."
Feng Yunshu put the silver note beside Yu Dashan, pulled Helan Yanting, and strode away without caring about Yu Dashan's shouts behind them.
Watching Feng Yunshu and Helan Yanting walk away, Yu Dashan stopped shouting. He picked up the hundred - tael silver note and his eyes couldn't help getting wet.
This Miss Feng is really a good person...
It was already midnight on their way back. The moon was beautiful all night, presenting a night view of a bright moon and sparse stars.
Feng Yunshu was about to let go of Helan Yanting's hand when Helan Yanting's palm slid down her wrist and directly held her slender hand.
"Why is your hand so cold?"
Helan Yanting couldn't help frowning. He let go of her hand and wanted to take off his outer robe to put it on Feng Yunshu. Feng Yunshu noticed his action and immediately reached out to stop him. "Your Highness, I'm not cold. Don't take it off. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You might catch a cold."
"Your hand is so cold, and you still say you're not cold? I'm not that delicate."
Helan Yanting insisted on taking off his outer robe. Afraid that he would really catch a cold, Feng Yunshu had to use her "trump card".
"Your Highness, didn't I tell you that I'm a cultivator? Now my spiritual power has recovered a lot. My physical condition is much better than that of ordinary people."
Saying that, Feng Yunshu playfully tilted her head and gave Helan Yanting a naughty smile. "Your Highness, you have to open your eyes wide and watch carefully. I'll perform a magic trick for you!"
Helan Yanting looked at her in confusion. "Magic trick?"
"Um... it's a spell!"
Feng Yunshu jumped a few steps to an open space beside them and began to form hand seals with both hands. "Your Highness, don't blink. Watch carefully!"
Saying that, she closed her eyes, concentrated, and released her spiritual power. A bright light flashed between her clasped palms. Soon, a miraculous scene appeared.
The moonlight scattered around seemed to come to life and all converged towards Feng Yunshu. It was like a flowing galaxy, spreading around Feng Yunshu's body and finally enveloping her whole body.
At this moment, Feng Yunshu's body was shining with fluorescent light. She was like a glowing silkworm baby hiding in a cocoon, or a fairy about to ascend to immortality.
This moonlight was like a magic elixir. In every place covered by the moonlight, the tiny wounds on her skin were visibly healing quickly. Soon, all the small wounds on Feng Yunshu's body were healed, and her skin was even smoother and more delicate than before, like a peeled egg.
Helan Yanting watched Feng Yunshu enveloped by the moonlight. Suddenly, his expression tightened. He stepped forward a few steps and reached out to hold her arm.
Feng Yunshu's hand seals were suddenly disrupted, and the moonlight disappeared all at once.
Feng Yunshu opened her eyes suddenly, at a loss. She subconsciously raised her hand to fight back. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Helan Yanting in front of her, the overflowing spiritual power in her hand was a bit out of control. In order not to hurt Helan Yanting, she could only quickly point to an open space beside them.
Only to hear a loud "bang", a big pit was smashed out of the open space.
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly interrupt me? You scared me. I thought someone was attacking me. I almost hurt you..." Feng Yunshu glared at Helan Yanting accusingly.
"I..."
Helan Yanting also knew that his sudden interruption was inappropriate, but his expression was very complicated. "I thought... you were going to leave me just now."
Seeing his somewhat aggrieved, somewhat helpless, and somewhat guilty expression, Feng Yunshu felt a warm feeling in her heart and didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured... I do want to ascend to immortality one day, but I've been waiting for nearly a hundred years, and I'm still just a half - baked cultivator."
Feng Yunshu shrugged and joked about herself.
But Helan Yanting's expression became more solemn. He looked at her extremely seriously. "If Madam ascends to immortality, will you abandon me and leave me forever?"
"This..."
Feng Yunshu really hadn't thought about this question, at least not for the time being. On the one hand, she didn't think she had the ability to ascend. On the other hand, the matter of Zhushan mentioned by her third senior brother hadn't been resolved yet, and she was still troubled by this.
"Your Highness, as the saying goes, when one person attains the Tao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Don't worry. If I really attain immortality one day, I will definitely promote Your Highness to get an official position in the celestial realm. Hehe..."
Helan Yanting's eyes twitched. He kept a straight face for a long time and finally said, "Do you mean that I'm a chicken or a dog?"
