1688 Didn’t Want To Poison Huo Yao

Shangguan Tong promptly went quiet. No one caught the expression on her face as complicated emotions flooded her heart. After some time, she finally replied. “Okay then. I will write down the prescription and steps for making incense in a minute and send it to you.”

Shangguan Yun responded instantly. “Got it. Thanks, Aunt Tong.”

Shangguan Tong spoke brightly with slight obedience and reverence in his tone. Shangguan Tong could sense a slightly bitter taste in her mouth. Before ending the call, she added. “You need to stay away from her.”

Shangguan Yun felt annoyed the moment he heard what she said. However, he kept a straight face and asked innocently. “What do you mean?”

“Are you half as good as her?” asked Shangguan Tong coldly.

Shangguan Yun felt a little hurt. He attempted to state his strengths. “I’m certainly not as good as her, but I…” He always had a good streak of luck.

“She can save herself in times of danger. Can you do the same?” Shangguan Tong spoke in a mocking tone.

Shangguan Yun touched his nose. He promptly caught Shangguan Tong’s drift. “I know you think that I always hold her back.”

“I’m glad you realize it.” Shangguan Tong hung up the phone the moment she finished her sentence.

Shangguan Yun was at a loss.

Her love for him was no more. Love would die one day.

Before long, Shangguan Tong sent two photos using her phone.

One piece of paper contained the herbs required. The other piece of paper contained the steps for making incense and the dosage required.

Shangguan Yun sent the list of herbs required to Min Yu who gave the order to get the herbs the moment he received the list.

Since the Chinese herbs required were not particularly expensive or rare, Yang Yi was able to obtain all the herbs and tools in an hour or so.

Shangguan Yun could not help feeling impressed by Min Yu.

After all, it was in the middle of the night over here!

Wang had already studied and memorized the process for making the incense. He glanced at Shangguan Yun and said, “Since you know how to make incense, why don’t you join me…”

Before Wang was able to finish his sentence, Shangguan Yun shook his head and interrupted him. “No, I can’t help.”

He was afraid he would accidentally turn it into poison. She would not be able to wake up and even end up being poisoned to death.

Wang did not insist. “Fine then.”

He proceeded to make incense.

It required lots of energy and focus to make incense, no less than that required to refine pills. Shangguan Yun did not leave the place. Instead, he stood by the side to keep an eye on Wang’s health.

Thankfully, Wang was in decent shape. He only spent roughly an hour making the incense.

The sun was starting to come up outside.

Wang lit the incense and placed it on the coffee table nearby. “Is that all?”

“Uh huh.” Shangguan Yun nodded. “If everything goes smoothly, she should regain consciousness in a couple of hours.”

Min Yu had been waiting by the side quietly. The frown on his face finally dissipated slightly. He glanced at Shangguan Yun and pondered briefly.

Shangguan Yun detected Min Yu’s gaze as well, so he turned to look at him. When he looked over, Min Yu had already veered his eyes.

Shangguan Yun pursed his lips and said to Wang, “I’ll keep an eye on her. Grandpa, why don’t you go get some rest?”

“Okay then.” Wang was genuinely tired, so he nodded.

Min Yu failed to detect the young man’s true intentions. He reached his hand to support Wang and helped him to the room he prepared next door.

When he got back, Huo Yao’s room was closed.

Min Yu remained calm. He simply turned and went downstairs.
