Chapter 820: Those Who Do Good Will Be Rewarded

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With some difficulty, Su Wan’er had invited Sect Younger Uncle Yuan to treat Mo Wen’s illness. If she ruined the whole thing because of her sloppiness, how could she face Big Brother Mo?

Mo Wen sighed softly. This little girl was too innocent. He knew that there was no use in him saying anymore, so he started to casually chat with Su Wan’er, alleviating her stress by distracting her.

Time passed slowly. Su Wan’er’s expression became somewhat pale. She sat foolishly in the house, her eyes looking at the door as she waited wide-eyed. Right now, it was already almost noon. She had waited a whole morning and Sect Younger Uncle Yuan still had not arrived. She had wanted to go search for him a few times, but she was afraid that she would be punished for disturbing the Sect Younger Uncle.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Mo Wen asked softly.

“Big Brother Mo, let me whip something up for you.” Su Wan’er had a dejected look, and she was almost crying. She thought Mo Wen was hungry, so she got up and prepared to head to the kitchen to see what was there to eat. She had just walked to the door when she suddenly stopped. There was a look of joy in her eyes; Sect Younger Uncle Yuan had finally arrived!

Outside the door, a short middle-aged man with a goatee slowly wobbled over, taking his sweet time.

“Sect Younger Uncle Yuan, you finally came. I’ve waited for you for a long time.” Su Wan’er excitedly ran out the door. After waiting for an entire morning, the person she had been waiting for was finally here.

“Oh, do you mean to say that I am not worth waiting for?” Upon hearing this, Sect Younger Uncle Yuan’s expression turned cold. He glanced arrogantly at Su Wan’er. A little of his aura on his body was seemingly released, the weeds on the ground moving on their own.

“No...no, it’s not that I was not willing to wait,” Su Wan’er said as she waved her hands. She was so scared that she turned as white as a sheet.

She was just an ancient martial art practitioner of the Regulated Breathing Realm. How could she withstand the aura of a Qi Nucleation Realm ancient martial art practitioner? Also, she was being chastised by a Sect Younger Uncle. Her tears immediately flowed out uncontrollably.

“Humph, never let it happen again. Don’t forget that I only came over because you begged me to,” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan coldly snorted. He put on an air of superiority as he wobbled into the wooden house. Seemingly dissatisfied that the house was so rundown, he intentionally fanned the air in front of him, his face revealing a disgusted look.

“Sect Younger Uncle, please sit. I’ll pour you some tea.” Su Wan’er hurriedly brought a chair over and prepared to go and find some tea leaves. However, after searching for a long while, she could not find them. This little wooden house was Wan’er’s. Usually no one would come over at all. Wan’er lived alone here and did not usually prepare tea to serve guests.

Over the past few days, Mo Wen had occupied her home, so Su Wan’er had been staying with a senior sister that she was close to.

“That’s enough. Don’t bother.” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan cast a glance at the shabby chair. His eyes had an undisguised look of disgust. He had no intention of sitting down.

Su Wan’er was somewhat embarrassed and stood to one side with a red face.

Sect Younger Uncle Yuan walked to the side of the bed straight away. He looked coldly down at Mo Wen who was lying on the bed and said, “This is the person that you rescued with no regard to the fact that you would be punished? He isn’t that handsome. I thought he would be a hunk. Wan’er, not to chastise you, but you have poor taste. Even I am stronger than him.”

Sect Younger Uncle Yuan looked at Su Wan’er with a somewhat serious expression as he suddenly stopped speaking.

Su Wan’er’s face turned bright red. She had not expected that Sect Younger Uncle would suddenly say such things. The innocent Wan’er had not thought much about it. She thought Sect Younger Uncle had misunderstood her. She lowered her head and stutteringly explained, “Sect Younger Uncle, Big Brother Mo... I just unintentionally rescued him... I have... I have no other intentions.”

“Humph, why did you save such a person? So what if he dies? You girls are too sympathetic,” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan said as he coldly snorted.

“Sect Younger Uncle, please take a look at Big Brother Mo. I’ve concocted a few medicinal soups to strengthen his body, but his injuries do not show any signs of recovery. My proficiency in medicine is low. At this crucial time, I still need Sect Younger Uncle’s help,” Su Wan’er said fawningly. Although Wan’er was innocent, she was a clever young maiden.

After being intentionally or unintentionally flattered by Su Wan’er, Sect Younger Uncle Yuan nodded approvingly. He pretended to dust off his sleeves, and only then took a step forward to take Mo Wen’s pulse.

“His body indeed has some small problems. However, the problems aren’t too severe. If I treat him, he will recover in less than a month. However...” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan said slowly as he stroked his goatee, seemingly well-informed.

He had grabbed hold of Mo Wen’s wrist for a few seconds and then released it. However, halfway through his sentence, he suddenly paused and gave Su Wan’er a meaningful look.

Su Wan’er bit her lower lip and retrieved an item wrapped in white silk from an intricate wooden box that seemed to be a makeup kit. She unwrapped the silk to reveal a faint green jade bracelet. Su Wan’er looked reluctantly at the bracelet, then walked up to Sect Younger Uncle Yuan and said, “Sect Younger Uncle, this is a token of my appreciation. Please take it.”

A look of greed flashed in Sect Younger Uncle Yuan’s eyes. He grabbed the jade bracelet from Su Wan’er’s hand and inspected it closely. The only thing he didn’t do was bite down on it to check whether it was real or fake. Of course, one could not tell whether jade was fake or not just by biting on it. Sect Younger Uncle Yuan placed the jade bracelet under the sunlight and examined it for a long time before he retracted his gaze and nodded contently. He said, “Not bad. This is a top-grade jade bracelet. Since Wan’er is so sincere, then Sect Younger Uncle will accept this token of appreciation of yours.”

“Then, Big Brother Mo’s injuries...” Su Wan’er pursed her lips and did not look at the jade bracelet. She forced herself not to cry. The jade bracelet had been left to her by her mother on her deathbed. Aside from this jade bracelet, she had no other item of value.

“Don’t you worry. With me personally treating him, it is as good as done. I have a prescription here. Feed him two bowls of medicinal soups every day and in less than half a month, he will be jumping about healthier than a monkey.”

Sect Younger Uncle Yuan took out a pen and some paper and scribbled a prescription down. He then passed it to Su Wan’er.

Su Wan’er took the paper excitedly, as though she had received a treasure. There were many medicinal herbs written on the prescription. Some medicinal herbs were quite uncommon. She had only heard of the names but she did not know their functions and medicinal purposes. Instantly, she felt like the Sect Younger Uncle was indeed a senior. He was much stronger and wiser than her.

“I personally signed my name on this prescription. Tomorrow, you can take the medicinal herbs from the apothecary straightaway. Seeing that you have such filial piety, you will not need to pay for the medicinal herbs.” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan waved his hand, looking very generous.

“Thank you Sect Younger Uncle.” Su Wan’er put on a happy expression. She felt that this Sect Younger Uncle was indeed a good man. Other than some stipulated medicinal herbs, which could be used for free in limited amounts, ordinary disciples had to pay for other medicinal herbs when they were taking them from the apothecary. A few medicinal herbs mentioned in the prescription were not the stipulated medicinal herbs. Originally, Su Wan’er would need to buy them; but now Sect Younger Uncle Yuan had said so, she could save a chunk of money.

“Alright. I have some other matters to attend to, so I will leave now. I can tell that you are rather talented. If you have time, come find me. I can teach you some medical skills. Then, in the future, if you encounter this kind of minor problem again, you will not need to call me. If you perform well, I can even make you as my disciple.”

Sect Younger Uncle Yuan smiled at Su Wan’er, then he waved his hand and walked out of the door with large steps as though he was a hermit expert.

“That’s wonderful! Thank you Sect Younger Uncle!”

Su Wan’er’s face beamed with joy. She could actually learn medical skills from Sect Younger Uncle Yuan. That was her dream. Her childhood dream had been to become a female miracle physician who helped the world. This time, she felt like she had hit the jackpot. So many ordinary disciples in the sect wanted to become disciples under Sect Younger Uncle Yuan but were rejected. She could actually have the chance. If her sect senior sister Wang Qian knew about this, she would be so envious of Su Wan’er.

Mo Wen had said nothing at all. However, his gaze turned colder as the scene unfolded in front of him. He stared emotionlessly at the silhouette of Sect Younger Uncle Yuan, as though he was staring at a dead person.

“Big Brother Mo, I will prepare the medicine for you now. Your injuries will get better soon.”

Su Wan’er held on to the prescription tightly. She dashed out of the house eagerly and disappeared from Mo Wen’s sight.

Mo Wen stared at the ceiling and felt helpless. Wan’er most likely had been living in the deep mountains her whole life and had not come into contact with many things. She did not know that the human heart was full of treachery. If Mo Wen hadn’t been severely injured, he would most likely have killed that Sect Younger Uncle Yuan with a slap.

Not only did that mongrel have evil intentions, but he had also written a rubbish medical prescription without any basis. Of course, Mo Wen knew his condition well. If a random physician with a little medical knowledge could diagnose Mo Wen’s condition, Mo Wen would not have needed to lie in bed this whole time.

All the medicines were somewhat poisonous and had serious side-effects. The Sect Younger Uncle Yuan could be considered lucky to not have killed anyone with his wrong prescriptions.

Mo Wen had never experienced the life of a low-level disciple in an ancient martial arts sect. He did not know much about the management system of an ancient martial arts sect too. However, judging from Su Wan’er’s condition, it seemed that most likely that the life of a low-level disciple was not good.

After an hour, Su Wan’er came back with a bowl of medicine soup in her hands. Her cheeks were rosy, and she seemed happy.

“Big Brother Mo, quickly drink this. You wish to get well soon, don’t you?” Su Wan’er carefully placed the bowl in front of Mo Wen. When she thought about how Big Brother Mo would get well soon, a sense of achievement welled up in her heart. She was saving a life now.

Mo Wen lifted up the bowl and drank the medicine silently. He knew it was a bowl of poison, yet he drank it nevertheless. He had no reason to not drink it when faced with the innocence gaze of Su Wan’er. Besides, poison like this might be deleterious for others who drank it, but it would not affect Mo Wen at all.

Su Wan’er’s mouth curled to form a brilliant smile. Those who do good will be rewarded. That was the teaching passed down to her from her mother. Right now, she felt at ease and relieved.

“Wan’er, weren’t you very anxious just now? You seemed like you had some matters to attend to.” Mo Wen stared quizzically at Su Wan’er. Before this, she seemed so anxious. Why then did she look so at ease right now?

“Ah! I am screwed! I forgot that I still need to go down the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. I can’t complete my task today now.”

Upon being reminded by Mo Wen, Su Wan’er’s face turned pale instantly. Tears filled her eyes. Carrying her large bamboo basket, she turned around and dashed out of the house. She shouted while running, “Big Brother Mo, I will make some medicine for you again tonight after I get home. There are a few steamed buns on the table. If I come home late, you can eat the steamed buns first.”
