TNIBFT -Chapter 144 Should We Still Go In?

Ye Yunting’s little face scrunched up, his expression gloomy.

The father and three children fell into silence.

Xiao Jiang said, “Master is a good person, and Teacher Tao is also a good person. If we go and ask him, Master will definitely help.”

“I’ll go ask Divine Doctor Qiu too!”

Ye Shuangxue tossed aside the candy in her hand and stood up anxiously. “Why don’t we go to Divine Doctor Qiu’s house right now? If he treats Teacher earlier, then Teacher will recover sooner.”

Xiao Jiang nodded.

Ye Yunting also agreed. The three children all turned their eyes toward Ye Tian at the same time.

Ye Tian glanced at the three little brats. “I never said we wouldn’t go. Why are you all looking at me? There are no customers in the shop—let’s head out now.”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Ye Tian stood up, tossed the melon seeds in his hand onto the table, gave a few instructions to Yuan Heipang, and the father and his three children set off toward Qiu Feibai’s residence, carrying lamb rolls with them.

Heavy snow was falling. Not a single street vendor could be seen on either side of the road. The street was eerily quiet and completely empty.

“Hah…” Ye Tian rubbed his hands together. He had never seen such heavy snow in his previous life. Fortunately, they had made some money recently and bought thick clothes—otherwise, they might have frozen to death this winter.

“Hurry up!”

“Hurry!”

Ye Shuangxue ran ahead in front. In the vast expanse of white snow, the sight of a little girl dressed in ancient-style clothing was simply picturesque. However, the snow had piled up to her thighs, and she had to lift her skirt with every step, making it quite difficult to move. Squinting his eyes, Ye Tian said, “Stop running—I’ll carry you.”

With one step, the snow reached up to Ye Tian’s calves.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the eastern part of the city, where Qiu Feibai’s residence in Sifang City was located.

The estate covered a vast area, with grand vermilion gates and several thick pillars standing at the entrance. Outside were two imposing stone lions, and above the magnificent gate hung a plaque reading “Healing the World with Compassion.”

“This house is way too grand, isn’t it? Is this really Divine Doctor Qiu’s home?”

Ye Shuangxue widened her eyes in shock. This was the most luxurious house the little girl had ever seen, and her mind couldn’t process it for a moment.

Xiao Jiang nodded shyly. “I even have a room here. Sometimes I take a nap here at noon.”

“Really?”

Ye Shuangxue’s face lit up with excitement, her heart practically bursting with envy.

Thinking about her own master, Ye Shuangxue sighed helplessly. Her master only knew how to eat and play—more childish than she was—always sticking to her and playing hide-and-seek every day. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.

Ye Tian stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Creaaak… The heavy gate slowly opened from the inside. An elderly man with graying hair poked his head out, squinting at the people outside.

“You are…?”

Before the old man could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Xiao Jiang beside Ye Tian. His face instantly lit up with joy. Straightening up, he opened the door wide and said happily, “Xiao Jiang, you’re here?”

“Didn’t Divine Doctor Qiu say he was taking a day off today?”

“Hello, Uncle Fu.”

Xiao Jiang greeted him in a soft voice. Uncle Fu’s wrinkled face broke into a wide smile as he nodded repeatedly. “Ah!”

“Good boy, Xiao Jiang. You must be cold, right? Come in, come in quickly!”

As he spoke, Uncle Fu hurried over, took Xiao Jiang’s little hands, and rubbed them to warm him up.

After they entered through the gate, Uncle Fu finally seemed to realize something and looked at Ye Tian and the other two children behind him. “You must be Xiao Jiang’s father, and his brother and sister, right?”

“Yes,” Ye Tian replied politely with a smile. “Thank you for taking care of this mischievous boy during this time. This is some lamb rolls from my shop.”

“You’re too polite.”

Uncle Fu accepted the items from Ye Tian and continued, “Divine Doctor Qiu is in the study.”

“Then we’ll go find Master ourselves. Uncle Fu, you go ahead and do your work,” Xiao Jiang said, clearly familiar with the place and not needing anyone to guide him. Besides, given how much Divine Doctor Qiu doted on Xiao Jiang, Uncle Fu treated him as half a master himself, so he didn’t say much more. Carrying the lamb rolls, he headed toward the kitchen.

The four of them passed through the front courtyard and continued along the covered corridor.

Along the way, Ye Shuangxue’s big eyes couldn’t take it all in. “There are so many flowers here?”

“In such cold weather, they can still bloom?”

Xiao Jiang said, “Those are medicinal herbs—Master’s herb garden.”

“Huh?”

Ye Shuangxue’s little face grew even more shocked. Her mouth opened wide, her expression full of disbelief.

“Look, there’s even a rock garden over there.”

“And there’s a pavilion, and inside it there are red fish…”

All along the way, Ye Shuangxue kept exclaiming in amazement, her little face full of wonder. In her mind, a luxurious house was something like their current home—Ye Tian’s hot pot shop was already the best house she had ever seen. She never imagined that such beautiful homes could exist in this world.

“So beautiful!”

The daughter kept marveling, as if she had forgotten the purpose of their visit.

Xiao Jiang smiled as he watched his sister’s astonishment.

Ye Yunting looked straight ahead, as if nothing around him could catch his attention.

Ye Tian quietly observed the three children. The most scheming one was Xiao Jiang—this kid really hid things well. Living in such a grand mansion, yet he hadn’t said a word about it since returning home. Truly good at holding it in.

“We’re here. The room in the middle is Master’s study,” Xiao Jiang said, pointing with his small hand.

Ye Tian nodded. Looking at the luxurious residence before him, he thought that a courtyard like this, if placed in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou in his previous life, would be worth a fortune. As expected of the top divine physician of Medicine King Valley—truly wealthy.

“Why can’t you just save him?”

Before Ye Tian could step closer, a sharp female voice came from inside the study. Her emotions were intense, her voice tinged with tears.

And the voice sounded familiar.

Ye Tian frowned. Beside him, Ye Yunting suddenly said, “It’s Jiang Yunxi’s voice.”

Jiang Yunxi?

The eldest actually remembered her so clearly?

Alarm bells rang in Ye Tian’s mind. He looked nervously at Ye Yunting, who avoided his gaze and said, “I… I just have a good memory. I’m not that familiar with her.”

The eldest added another sentence.

“Better not be,” Ye Tian said. “She and I are incompatible.”

Ye Yunting nodded seriously, indicating he understood.

“Why is Senior Sister Jiang here?” Xiao Jiang looked at the study in surprise.

Ye Tian was panicking inside. Jiang Yunxi came with a protagonist’s halo. In the story, the fated simp was the eldest. The eldest was still young and hadn’t reacted much yet, but Xiao Jiang and Jiang Yunxi were fellow disciples. If they had prolonged contact, who knew if Xiao Jiang might become simp number two.

They couldn’t be allowed to keep interacting.

When they got home, he had to give these two boys a proper lesson.

“Isn’t Master supposed to have a healer’s compassion? Are you really going to watch him die?”

“Master, I beg you, I beg you! Please show mercy and save him!”

Jiang Yunxi’s voice trembled with sobs. Ye Tian stood there awkwardly, and the three children were also stunned. Ye Shuangxue asked blankly, “Should we still go in?”

“Bang! Bang!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of porcelain shattering came from inside the room. Ye Tian was startled—what was happening in there? It sounded intense.

“If Master won’t save him, then I’ll die in front of you!”

“Yunxi, you’ve truly disappointed me,” Qiu Feibai finally spoke, his voice filled with helplessness.

The female lead wants to die?

What a great opportunity—then hurry up and let her die!

Ye Tian secretly gloated as Jiang Yunxi continued crying inside, “Master, please give me the Revival Pill. He can’t hold on any longer…”
