TNIBFT -Chapter 145 Stay Away from Idiots, Live Longer

Revival Pill?

Ye Tian frowned. This pill must be the life-saving treasure Xiao Jiang mentioned—Qiu Feibai’s most precious possession.

Jiang Yunxi also wanted the pill. For someone usually so love-struck to become this hysterical, something must have happened to Shen Jie.

“No, we can’t give it to her. If we do, Master Tao will die!”

Ye Shuangxue said with a frown.

“I’ll go find Master too,” Xiao Jiang said.

With that, he hurried up the steps on his short legs. Ye Tian watched his back and quickly followed.

Inside the room.

The expensive carpet was littered with shattered porcelain. Jiang Yunxi knelt in front of Qiu Feibai, her face miserable, clutching his legs tightly to stop him from leaving.

Looking up at him with tear-filled eyes, she sobbed, “My father said… he said only the Revival Pill in this world can save him, Master…”

“He’s already suffered enough, worked so hard—why does he have to bear all the pain? Why is everyone targeting him? Master, didn’t you say a healer should have a compassionate heart? Didn’t you say you heal the world? You can save so many people—why can’t you save him?”

Qiu Feibai shook his head speechlessly.

Did Jiang Yunxi even understand the value of the Revival Pill?

There was only one in the entire world. Even for him—the top divine physician of Medicine King Valley—it was his ultimate life-saving treasure.

Just because he was a doctor, did that mean he had to hand over his treasure?

If he didn’t, did that make him unworthy of being called a divine physician?

Where had Jiang Yunxi learned such twisted reasoning?

“I am a doctor, but I am not a bodhisattva,” Qiu Feibai said. “Yunxi, right now you’ve practically fallen into obsession. You’ve truly disappointed me. It’s as if, in your eyes, nothing in this world matters anymore except Shen Jie.”

“Is Master really going to be so heartless?”

Jiang Yunxi stared stubbornly at him and sneered. “You just can’t bear to part with the Revival Pill. Why bother making excuses?”

“You—”

Qiu Feibai’s face turned pale with anger.

He had raised Jiang Yunxi with his own hands, watched her grow up—yet she had become like this.

“If I don’t get the Revival Pill today, I’ll die right here in front of you!”

Clenching her teeth, Jiang Yunxi quickly grabbed a shard of porcelain from the ground and pressed it against her neck.

“Yunxi, what are you doing?” Qiu Feibai said helplessly.

“Put it down!”

Seeing his anxious expression, Jiang Yunxi felt a surge of satisfaction. That’s right—she didn’t believe her master didn’t care about her. In the past, no matter what she wanted, as long as she asked, he had never refused.

“Master…”

She looked at him pitifully. Her goal was almost within reach. With a bit of force from her right hand, blood immediately began to seep from her pale neck.

Qiu Feibai said nervously, “Let go first—”

Before he could finish—

Bang!

With a loud crash, the study door was slammed open. Xiao Jiang stood frozen at the entrance, staring at the scene inside.

Qiu Feibai looked extremely awkward.

Xiao Jiang hurried over on his short legs, hugged his master’s arm, and asked in a muffled voice, “Master, are you hurt?”

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Seeing his young disciple looking at him with concern, Qiu Feibai felt a warmth in his heart. Xiao Jiang was sensible and lovable, and his talent in medicine far surpassed Jiang Yunxi’s. Most importantly, despite his young age, Xiao Jiang wasn’t arrogant—he could put himself in others’ shoes. He was truly a rare good child.

“It’s fine, your senior sister she—”

“I’m not his senior sister!”

Before Qiu Feibai could finish speaking, Jiang Yunxi erupted in rage and cut him off. She shot a venomous glare at Xiao Jiang, then looked up at Qiu Feibai and said, “Master, give me the Revival Pill and I’ll leave immediately. Once Brother Shen recovers, I’ll come back and apologize to you.”

Qiu Feibai held Xiao Jiang’s hand, his face turning cold and stern.

No one spoke.

Xiao Jiang looked up at his master. “Master, I want the Revival Pill too.”

“What?”

Qiu Feibai was utterly puzzled.

Jiang Yunxi’s gaze looked as if she wanted to kill Xiao Jiang.

“You’re trying to take everything from me, aren’t you?” Jiang Yunxi went mad, jumping to her feet and rushing forward. Qiu Feibai pulled Xiao Jiang behind him protectively and said gently, “Xiao Jiang, tell Master—why do you want the Revival Pill too?”

“For Teacher Tao.”

Xiao Jiang glanced timidly at Qiu Feibai, then pressed his lips together shyly. “I know Master has a treasure. I was the one who told my father.”

Qiu Feibai stroked Xiao Jiang’s hair.

Xiao Jiang continued, “Teacher Tao is my teacher. Before I had Master, he treated me the best. He taught me how to read—he’s a good person. And most importantly, Teacher Tao is Big Brother’s teacher. Big Brother respects Teacher Tao just like I respect Master. Big Brother cried… he never cries. He must be really sad.”

“If Master got seriously ill, I would cry too. I don’t want Master to leave me…”

Tears welled up in Xiao Jiang’s bright, dark eyes.

A faint smile appeared on Qiu Feibai’s lips as he gently ruffled Xiao Jiang’s head. “There’s only one Revival Pill. If Master also became gravely ill, and you could only give it to one person, would you give it to Teacher Tao—or to Master?”

“To Master!”

Xiao Jiang answered without hesitation.

Qiu Feibai nodded with a smile. “Master promises you—you can take the Revival Pill to save someone.”

“Thank you, Master! You’re the one who loves Xiao Jiang the most in this world.” Standing on tiptoe, Xiao Jiang puckered his lips and imitated Ye Tian, planting a kiss on Qiu Feibai’s cheek.

Qiu Feibai froze.

The child’s soft lips touched his cheek like a jolt of electricity straight to the heart. Looking into his little disciple’s sparkling eyes, Qiu Feibai suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it—it was the feeling of being praised and acknowledged by family.

“Why?”

“Why are you doing this?”

Jiang Yunxi stared at Qiu Feibai in horror, shaking her head, tears streaming down her face. “I knelt and begged you, and you refused. But he asks and you give it! Master… why? Ever since Ye Hanjiang appeared, you’ve ignored me. You don’t even care whether I live or die anymore. Am I not your disciple too? All the kindness you showed me before… was it all fake?!”

Jiang Yunxi roared, completely out of control.

She was the proud daughter of heaven, the pride of Medicine King Valley—the treasure her master once held in the palm of his hand. How had things turned out like this?

Her eyes, filled with hatred, locked onto Xiao Jiang. “It’s all you—it’s all because of you! The Revival Pill is mine! No one else can take it!”

Ye Tian stood outside the door, having watched the entire drama unfold.

The female lead going insane for the male lead—this kind of cliché really had no bottom line. Ye Tian said coldly, “Jiang Yunxi, I suggest you hurry home. Maybe your Brother Shen is already completely dead. If you go back now, you might still make it in time to see him one last time.”

With a wicked smile on his face, Ye Tian watched as Jiang Yunxi turned her head toward him, then looked coldly at Qiu Feibai and Xiao Jiang.

“From today onward, I am no longer your disciple.”

With that, Jiang Yunxi dropped to her knees and kowtowed three times to Qiu Feibai. Then, without looking back, she disappeared into the wind and snow.

Looking at Ye Tian’s family of four, Qiu Feibai said awkwardly, “Brother Ye, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you.”

Ye Tian waved his hand. “Honestly, staying away from brain-damaged will help you live longer.”
