Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Even If Young, Still the Senior Apprentice Sister
Zhao Ting sneezed loudly.
It was so sudden that he didn’t have time to cover it.
The protector sitting opposite him received the sneeze directly.
Zhao Ting felt a bit embarrassed, "Sorry about that, Stone Guardian. Lately, I’ve been feeling weak, catching a bit of a chill from this trip down the mountain."
"Ah, I’m a rough person, nothing to be sorry about. But about that thing you mentioned earlier, I have no problem with it. Just that Protector Xu might not easily agree!" Stone Guardian sighed, "He holds a grudge against you, so how could he possibly set aside his biases to see you well?"
"That’s why I need your help, Stone Guardian, to make the decision for me! Before this, I didn’t think much of it, to be honest. I hadn’t planned to marry her, just thought of keeping her happy. But having passed through Ghost Gate, it suddenly started to weigh on my mind." Zhao Ting said wistfully.
"I understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it." Stone Guardian said.
Zhao Ting thanked him excitedly, taking out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket with a mischievous smile, "This is my wedding gift to you, Stone Guardian. Take one pill daily for ten days, and I guarantee you’ll be more energetic than a twenty-year-old."
Stone Guardian’s eyes lit up since he had just taken a concubine a few days ago; he urgently needed something like this.
"Is this thing safe? No dependency issues?" Stone Guardian asked.
"You can be rest assured! This is not some ordinary stuff!" Zhao Ting lowered his voice, "Once you use it, you’ll know its wonders. This is something special I reserved only for you, Stone Guardian. For anyone else, I’d definitely never take it out. My fiancée, though she looks like a simple country woman, had a fortunate encounter as a child! This is the unique secret formula passed down by the most famous doctor in the martial arts world decades ago. She specifically made it for me to maintain my health! It involves many precious herbs!"
Hearing about famous doctors and precious herbs, Stone Guardian was grinning from ear to ear.
"You lucky dog, eh!" Stone Guardian gave Zhao Ting a punch, "You can count on me, you know my word is my bond."
"My happiness relies on you, Stone Guardian." Zhao Ting said.
This Heaven and Earth Sect has an unwritten rule.
Major marriage matters must be resolved among the sect’s members.
In other words, no marriage with outsiders.
When Meng Yao suggested coming to the Heaven and Earth Sect with him, he initially disagreed, but Meng Yao said that if he didn’t agree, she’d ignore everything and forbid him from contacting her.
What else could he do?
He could only obediently comply.
Besides, he had a little selfish thought, if she really came, living together day and night might help cultivate their feelings, right?
So, he offered the pills to Stone Guardian.
The pills were prepared by his fiancée, and if Stone Guardian felt their benefits, he would undoubtedly help push this matter forward with all his might.
After all, for a man of his age with many women, certain aspects are crucially important.

Early in the morning, after Meng Yao and Su Ye finished practicing boxing together, they started preparing breakfast.
The two had an orderly division of tasks, and they finished quickly.
Meng Yao went to wake up Zhao Xiaohua, who snuggled further into the bed, wanting to sleep in.
"I’m thinking of going to the Hundred Herbs Hall in a while, I was planning to take you along, but if you don’t want to get up, I’ll just tell Boss Lu that you don’t want to go. Wen Nuan is up, so I’ll take Wen Nuan instead." Meng Yao said with a smile, standing by the bed.
"I’m going, I’m going. Getting up, I’ll get up right away." Zhao Xiaohua promptly crawled out of bed.
After breakfast, Meng Yao took Zhao Xiaohua and Wen Nuan out.
At the Hundred Herbs Hall, the medicine-gathering lad led Meng Yao directly to the backyard.
Zhao Xiaohua was delighted to see Lu Luoxing, "Sister Xing, long time no see, I missed you so much."
Lu Luoxing pinched Zhao Xiaohua’s nose, "And you say you missed me? When I wanted to take you to the Capital City, who was the one who couldn’t leave your mother?"
"Of course, I couldn’t leave my mother. Compared to Sister Xing, my mother is obviously more important." Zhao Xiaohua said righteously.
"Sister Yao, look at Xiaohua, she won’t even sweet-talk me in front of my face." Lu Luoxing pouted.
Wen Nuan was completely confused, Xiaohua calls Boss Lu sister, and Boss Lu calls Aunt Zhao sister, these seniorities are all mixed up.
Zhao Xiaohua put her hand on Wen Nuan’s shoulder, "Nuan, are you puzzled? Among us three, we each have our own seniority."
"We shouldn’t calculate it like that anymore." Lu Luoxing chimed in.
"Why?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.
"From today, I’m going to follow master to study medicine." Lu Luoxing said.
Zhao Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed proudly, "I was the first to study medicine with my mother, so Sister Xing, aren’t you supposed to call me senior sister?"
Lu Luoxing sighed and nodded, the titles of senior and junior sisters don’t depend on age.
Xiaohua entered first and is younger, but she is still the senior sister.
Lu Luoxing called the other five members of the Lu Family over and formally introduced them to Meng Yao.
The five respectfully saluted Meng Yao, their conduct impeccable, indicating that Lu Luoxing must have briefed them beforehand.
Otherwise, how could these heaven’s favorites from the Lu Family show such respect to a woman of no renown?
Lu Luoxing solemnly presented the surgical operation theory books passed down by the Lu Family to Meng Yao, who skimmed them, nodded, "No issues, but you can put them away for now as we won’t be using them at the moment. A-xing, see if you can find someone to make these items?"
Meng Yao was showing Lu Luoxing items she obtained from her system.
Lu Luoxing looked at each item and confidently responded, "It can be done."
Some items were with the Lu Family, but compared to these, they were a bit rougher.
"No need to prepare for Xiaohua and Wen Nuan, but for the others, prepare one set for each." Meng Yao said.
This master was rather poor, unable to provide one set per person generously.
"Here’s the blueprint, take it with you as well."
The five from the Lu Family clearly recognized the instruments. Outsiders might be just intrigued, but insiders understood their significance even if they had never used them.
Originally, their respect was superficial, but now, they were genuinely convinced.
Afterward, Meng Yao distributed a basic theory she wrote to each person, "None of you are beginners, so we’ll jump right to the main topic. First read, and when you’re done, find me in the operating room."
Wen Nuan had limited literacy, so she read with Xiaohua.
As Xiaohua read, she quietly explained it to Wen Nuan, whose face turned pale, stammering, "Xiaohua, is this about opening up the body?"
"Yes. Mother said not every illness can be cured with medicine." Zhao Xiaohua said, "Take the simplest external injury, for example, surgical recovery speed is far higher than direct bandaging and medication. Such a long cut, once stitched up, the healing speed is nearly doubled!"
"Little senior sister is right, I have experienced this." A round-faced girl spoke up, "I once treated two external injury patients, one agreed to stitching, the other didn’t. The one who got stitched had stitches removed in seven days. The one without stitches, after seven days, still had pus in the wound."
