Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Not Dead Yet

Watching Lin Qian cry like a tearful person, clinging to each other reluctantly, Nie Fang dug her ear and glared at the two with annoyance.

"So noisy! The person’s not even dead yet! What are you crying about? Come with me!"

Hearing this, Lin Qian stopped crying, her tear-filled eyes looking at the retreating figure of Nie Fang.

She said the person isn’t dead yet!

So what she means is...

"Qianqian, I’m fine."

Yin Moran’s dark eyes flickered slightly, and he wrapped his arm around Lin Qian’s small waist, signaling her to follow Nie Fang ahead.

Lin Qian was dazed, unable to react.

"Moran, are you really okay?"

Could it be that this old lady is deliberately deceiving them?

"I’m fine."

Yin Moran’s dark eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on Nie Fang ahead, and he raised his voice a little, "Not only am I fine, but my external injuries hardly hurt. I guess what the elder just gave me wasn’t poison, but tonic."

Upon hearing this, Nie Fang’s steps paused slightly, and she turned her sharp old eyes toward Yin Moran.

"So smart? So, you were just acting earlier, pretending in front of me?"

The elderly woman’s aura sank, carrying a fierce chill, as if ready to reprimand at a disagreement.

Lin Qian’s heart tightened, clutching Yin Moran’s sleeve.

Yin Moran looked at Nie Fang calmly, "No. She is my wife, I love her more than my life. So, regardless of whether you just gave me poison or tonic, as long as it ensures my wife’s safety, I will follow your orders."

The few words, neither humble nor arrogant, revealed a calm firmness.

Nie Fang’s old eyes flicked slightly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two, finally emitting a cold snort before turning to walk ahead.

Yin Moran curled his lips, lowered his eyes to Lin Qian, who looked tense, and gave her a reassuring smile.

"It’s okay, don’t be scared."

It could be seen that this old woman is a hidden expert of the world, she shouldn’t do anything to them.

Lin Qian nodded, her anxious heart easing slightly, and followed behind Nie Fang with Yin Moran.

Soon, they arrived outside a bamboo forest.

Yin Moran held Lin Qian tighter and followed Nie Fang’s path into the bamboo grove, eventually reaching a clearing.

There was a simple house built on the clearing.

Stone benches, stone tables, surrounded by bamboo...

A perfect secluded retreat of the world!

Lin Qian felt like she was in a dream.

Because she had never seen such a serene abode in real life.

"Moran, do you think we’ve encountered a hidden expert?"

Lin Qian observed her surroundings and spoke to Yin Moran.

"Probably." Yin Moran didn’t deny it.

The vast world is full of wonders.

Based on his observation of Nie Fang earlier and this place filled with herbal scents, this elder is undoubtedly a medical practitioner adept with herbs.

Medical practitioner!

Yin Moran’s dark eyes flicked, something flashed through his mind.

"Oh no, my food!"

Nie Fang’s voice sounded from inside the house, and Lin Qian and Yin Moran exchanged glances before entering the house.

The house was simple, but it was clean and tidy.

The sound came from behind the main hall, and Lin Qian and Yin Moran moved to the small kitchen in the back.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of burning, and Nie Fang was hastily dumping the burnt food from the pot.

"Oh no, oh no, I’ll have to go hungry today! I finally managed to dig up the bamboo shoots and decided to cook a meal!!"

Nie Fang was full of regret and disappointment, looking at Lin Qian and Yin Moran as they entered, pointing the spatula in her hand at them, "You two, it’s all your fault, making me miss my meal! What to do? No dish to go with rice, I’ll have to take your meat for a taste instead!"

The old woman was furious, and the spatula in her hand seemed like it could turn into a blade the next second to chop off their heads.

Lin Qian’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Grandma, don’t get worked up, how could you have no dish to go with rice? I’ll cook for you!"

The old lady’s temper is explosive!

And judging by her looks, she doesn’t seem to be good at cooking.

Because the way she held the spatula just now was stiff.

And what she said indicated to Lin Qian that she can’t cook!

"You really can cook?"

Nie Fang’s old eyes lit up, moving in front of Lin Qian, handing her the spatula, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and cook for me, otherwise, I’ll really make meat buns out of you two."

Lin Qian: "..."

Grandma, no need to be so fierce!

Lin Qian took the spatula, glanced at Yin Moran, and obediently ran to the kitchen stove to see what dishes she could cook.

Fortunately, there were a few fresh vegetables and some unknown bird’s eggs on the ground.

Lin Qian’s apricot eyes sparkled as she started cooking.

Watching Lin Qian skillfully pick and wash vegetables, Nie Fang looked on with anticipation.

This young girl seems as skillful as the girl she saved ten years ago.

The main thing is, their appearance is quite similar too!

"Senior, you’ve been secluded here for many years, haven’t you?"

Yin Moran looked at Nie Fang, deliberately making conversation.

Hearing this, Nie Fang’s gaze fell on him, giving a cold snort, "Yes! I’ve been hidden longer than your lifetime."

"I can see that Senior is a reclusive expert, focusing on concocting medicine in this secluded mountain valley."

Yin Moran smiled as he probed.

Nie Fang glanced at him and turned to leave the kitchen, "You’re not busy? If you’re bored, come help me."

"Okay."

Yin Moran raised an eyebrow slightly, said no more, and followed Nie Fang’s steps.

If this is a reclusive medical expert, then perhaps, his son can be saved!

Nie Fang went to the back of the house.

A large flat area was filled with various herbs.

Sunlight streamed through the lush trees, casting on the herbs, and the air was filled with the aroma of various unknown herbs.

Nie Fang walked to a pile of herbs not yet spread out and said to Yin Moran, "You, come here and help me strip the fruits off the top."

"Okay."

Yin Moran said without hesitation, striding forward, squatting down to start working.

His long fingers were aesthetically pleasing, looking like they don’t do much housework.

But now, he attentively stripped the fruit from the herbs, very seriously.

Nie Fang squinted her old eyes, with an amused expression.

Her mind flashed to some scenes from ten years ago.

At that time, there was also a man and a woman who broke into her secluded valley.

Except, they weren’t a couple.

The woman accidentally saved a severely injured man in her valley, then inadvertently stumbled into her bamboo forest.

And that man was even more noble and aloof than the man now.

Making him do anything was like insulting his intelligence.

Interesting to think about!

Nie Fang couldn’t help but curve her lips.

Realizing she smiled, she frowned.

What’s so funny?

These young men and women, when they fancy each other, they’re so lovey-dovey.

And time, like a butcher’s knife, who knows how many years later, some people’s true colors finally show!
