Chapter 190.1: Let Me Do It Instead
 
For better or for worse, Bai Luoqing was the Head of the Bai family. Her ability to read people’s expressions had been honed to perfection.

 

“City Lord Su, there’s no need to hesitate if you have something to say.”

“From the looks of it, Bai Family Head doesn’t seem to be busy?”

“I only came to Cloud City this time for the sake of seeing this prestigious city so I’ve dealt with everything that needed to be handled before coming. As of now, I indeed do not have any urgent tasks to deal with.” Bai Luoqing’s eyes flickered. Su Yi had said just a moment earlier that he didn’t need help with anything, yet now he was asking questions like this. She couldn’t see through his intentions at all.

Su Yi’s thoughts were nowhere as complicated as Bai Luoqing was making them out to be. He just wanted to find a person to help boil water while he went to post some announcements.

“Since you’re not busy and you look quite bored at having nothing to do, just help me look after the fire!” Su Yi didn’t bother to speak in a roundabout way and spoke forthrightly. When Bai Luoqing heard, she was stunned. What he meant was, for her, who had never had to even pour tea for herself before, to help him boil water?

When she didn’t reply, Su Yi asked, “What? Is it an inconvenience for Bai Family Head?”

If it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to hook onto Cloud City, this large ship, in order to rescue the Bai family from the currently dangerous economic situation, she definitely would have turned and left. Although boiling water wasn’t anything troublesome, if news of this reached the ears of the people in the Bai family that were eyeing her position, she would never hear the end of it.

“Of course it’s not inconvenient!” Bai Luoqing forced a smile.

Since she had already agreed, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to go over. The moment she got close, Su Yi pulled her over and said, “If you see the fire getting small, just pull this box bellow a couple times. You have inner strength so pulling it probably wouldn’t take much effort.”

Su Yi knew from how Bai Luoqing looked that she had been the flower in her elders’ hands since youth and had never done this kind of rough work before. Hence, he took a little more time to explain in order to make sure she knew what to do. Unexpectedly, it caused Bai Luoqing’s face to flush entirely red due to the fact that his earlier tug had pulled her practically into his arms.

Bai Luoqing hadn’t had such intimate contact with a man since she became the Head of the Bai family years ago. Moreover, her first contact since then was even with such a handsome and easy-going man like Su Yi.

Her entire body was surrounded by the strong scent of a man. Her long still heart started to ripple and pound nonstop, so she couldn’t hear what Su Yi was saying at all. When she finally came back to her senses, Su Yi was already gone.

The grand Head of the Bai family actually stomped her feet like a little girl as she rubbed her red face. She hadn’t expected for him to be this kind of City Lord.

While Su Yi rushed off to handle that matter, Cang Baicao and Bai Feiyun had encountered a dilemma.

“Feiyun, go tell the City Lord to get Hemostatic Fruit.”

“Shouldn’t the Hemostatic Fruit have been used at the beginning? Would it still be effective to use it now?”

Cang Baicao liked people who had smart questions and dared to ask them like Bai Feiyun. He stroked his beard, then picked up the disinfected scissors and started carefully cutting off the garments near Tang Doudou’s injury to reveal the horrifying wound beneath.

As of now, Tang Doudou had once again fallen unconscious. The ginseng piece in her mouth had been swapped out for something else.

“If I wanted to give her the Hemostatic Fruit earlier, I would have to take out the ginseng piece in her mouth. However, that ginseng piece was all that kept her alive earlier. If I took it out and gave her a drug as intense as the Hemostatic Fruit, the outcome is easily imaginable.” He had wanted to train Bai Feiyun for a long time. This child’s personality and aptitude were both very good. There was no better candidate for him to pass his knowledge onto. However, Bai Feiyun was always busy with helping the City Lord handle affairs so he couldn’t really bring it up.

Now that he not only had the chance to teach Bai Feiyun, but also had a model in front of him to teach with, he couldn’t help but start lecturing.

Bai Feiyun could tell Cang Baicao had good intentions, but there was no way he could focus on learning right now when Tang Doudou’s situation was so bad. He cupped his fist towards Cang Baicao and said, “Senior Cang, I’m going to look for the City Lord and get the Hemostatic Fruits first. Then Senior Cang can directly demonstrate how it’s used.”

Cang Baicao nodded. “That works as well. Then go.”

Bai Feiyun glanced at Tang Doudou worriedly, then left to find Su Yi.

He didn’t find Su Yi, but he did find Bai Luoqing who had made a mess of the kitchen.

“Why are you still here?” Bai Feiyun glanced around the kitchen. “Where’s the City Lord?”

“Cough cough…” Bai Luoqing was suffocated to the point that tears filled her eyes. Her usual aloof and remote air was completely gone. When she saw Bai Feiyun, she immediately grabbed onto him as if he was her last hope. “C-city Lord Su went to take care of some matters and had me look after this fire. But… cough cough…”

Bai Feiyun sighed. The City Lord’s ability to handle matters was still so unreliable despite it being such a serious situation.

“There’s no more need for hot water so you should head back for now!” The only reason Cang Baicao said they needed hot water was to give Su Yi something to do so that he wouldn’t be stuck just worrying. Unexpectedly, he actually handed this task off to Bai Luoqing. It was enough that he didn’t boil the water, but he almost ended up roasting Bai Luoqing as well.

Bai Luoqing was so moved to hear this that she couldn’t even speak. She had never expected that one day, she, this grand Bai Family Head, would be stumped by something as simple as looking after a fire, and even ended up in such a wretched situation.

More importantly, she had even been seen in this situation by Bai Feiyun. It was seriously embarrassing to death.

She was extremely embarrassed, but couldn’t stay in the room any longer. She covered her face and started running outside. However, before she could make it out, she crashed into someone who was walking in.

Who else could the person be except for Su Yi?

“How did you end up like this? Where’s the hot water? Has the water been boiled yet?” Su Yi caught Bai Luoqing who he had almost sent crashing to the ground. When he saw that Bai Feiyun was standing in the kitchen, he thought they needed hot water and started hastily questioning Bai Luoqing.

How could Bai Luoqing possibly have the time to explain to him right now? She pushed him aside and immediately ran away.

Chapter 190.2: Let Me Do It Instead
 
Su Yi was a little baffled but he hadn’t rushed back for this. He asked Bai Feiyun, “Feiyun, um, how is Xueyi right now?”

 

“Senior Cang had me find City Lord to ask for Hemostatic Fruit.”

“Hemostatic Fruit?” Su Yi was completely confused. “What’s Hemostatic Fruit?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Feiyun was  also stunned. If he didn’t even know what Hemostatic Fruit was, would he have any?

Cang Baicao was the only one that knew the answer.

“Aiy, don’t worry about it. Was it Old Cang that said I had Hemostatic Fruits? Then come with me to the treasury to look for the Hemostatic Fruit. If you see anything else that might be useful, just take them all.” Su Yi didn’t remember whether he had this Hemostatic Fruit in his treasury or not, but he could tell from Bai Feiyun’s expression that this was something they urgently needed so he immediately pulled Bai Feiyun towards the City Lord Residence.

They made a round in his treasury. If it weren’t for the fact that the situation was urgent, Bai Feiyun definitely would have stayed in here for several days. There were seriously too many rare things in here. A lot were treasures that had vanished from the outside world years ago.

There were Hemostatic Fruits in here, and there were even a lot of them. Those red fruits had been casually thrown in a pile to the side. One could tell from this treatment how little their owner valued them.

“So this is Hemostatic Fruit?”

“En, I’ll go bring the things back first. City Lord should go arrange for someone to boil water! Then bring the water to the room in a cask.” Bai Feiyun immediately rushed to leave once he got the Hemostatic Fruits.

However, right after he turned around, he suddenly paused and looked back at Su Yi as if he wanted to say something but was hesitating. “City Lord…”

“Say it straight out.”

“You should go and look for a maid in the city. Senior Cang and I are both men…”

Su Yi understood. “Alright, I’ll go do that right away.”

The two split up to work. After Bai Feiyun brought the Hemostatic Fruits and the drug ingredients over, he started helping Cang Baicao in the highly difficult rescue operation. As for Su Yi, he walked around the treasury again and sent all the items and medicinal ingredients that looked useful to Cang Baicao’s courtyard before heading to the streets to try and recruit a servant girl.

The moment he walked out, a large blue-green bird flew over from the horizon. “Chirp chirp…”

“Baili Yu’s here?” The information the large bird brought gave Su Yi a huge fright. “How is he so fast? Where is he now?”

“Chirp chirp…”

“What? He’s entered the city?” It seemed he had underestimated how much Baili Yu valued his disciple ah!

However, Baili Yu’s early arrival was messing up his plan. Moreover, if Baili Yu found out about Tang Doudou’s current condition, that stinkin’ brat would definitely try to kill him!

This won’t do! He couldn’t let him find out about Tang Doudou’s current situation!

Currently, only four people knew about this situation. Of course, the person that injured Tang Doudou wasn’t included.

When Su Yi’s thoughts got to that person, his anger burst out all at once and he didn’t have the patience to try to find a servant girl anymore. He revealed his identity as the City Lord and used some sex appeal to drag two servant girls back before rushing off to investigate who exactly had injured Tang Doudou.

By the time he finished everything and returned to Cang Baicao’s place, it was already late, yet the people inside still haven’t come out yet.

“How is the situation inside? You two haven’t been able to go in?” The two young girls that had been dragged here by him were standing outside the door. When they saw him, they hastily moved up to meet him with expressions of having suffered grievances. However, Su Yi was currently more worried than he was curious right now.

The girl wearing a yellow garment nodded with unspoken grievances. “That gongzi in white said that it wasn’t time for us to enter yet.”

“Then just wait outside for now.” The fact that they weren’t letting people in definitely meant that they hadn’t finished treating her. However, Cang Baicao should have at least come out to tell him a bit about the situation.

Su Yi was beside himself with worry, but he didn’t dare to rashly disturb the people inside. He could only wait with the two servant girls outside the door.

The current situation inside the room was not optimistic at all.

Bai Feiyun frequently reached out to help wipe the sweat from Cang Baicao’s forehead and didn’t dare to be distracted even for a moment as he passed everything Cang Baicao needed immediately to his hand.

Speaking shouldn’t be mentioned, right now he didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

What he was currently most concerned about was Cang Baicao’s physical state. No matter how good his medical expertise was, he was old and his endurance wasn’t as good as that of someone as young as he. He had seen Cang Baicao’s hand shake several times. If it weren’t for his countless years of expertise, he probably would have already made a mistake by now.

“Acupuncture needle!”

Retrieving his thoughts, Bai Feiyun picked up the sterilized needle next to him and passed it over. However, before he could pass it to Cang Baicao’s hand, Cang Baicao’s body swayed and he almost fell to the ground.

“Senior Cang.” Bai Feiyun hastily moved to support Cang Baicao up, then took a piece of ginseng and placed it into his mouth. Following that, he turned to look at the wound that had temporarily stopped bleeding and said in a low voice, “Let me do it instead!”

Cang Baicao looked at him with shock but started considering the idea.

“You’re already at your limit. If you keep pushing on…” He didn’t finish his words but the meaning was clear. Cang Baicao naturally knew what he meant. He couldn’t help but sigh. Once a person got old, even if they refused to give in to it, they still couldn’t do anything about it!

However, would Bai Feiyun be able to do it?

“Senior Cang, don’t worry. There’s no way I would fool around with her life.” Bai Feiyun glanced towards the unconscious person on the bed. His hands tightened into fists within his sleeves. I definitely won’t let anything happen to you.
