The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1588 - 1675: Mind Your Words

He was particularly adept at winning people over. In the eyes of the Eighth Princess and those guards, it was because he was under the influence of the Child Gu, while the Mother Gu was with the Eighth Princess. His behavior didn’t seem strange at all; even Qinghe and Ah Lian were completely fooled by him.

But only two people were exceptions.

That day, as Bai Xian grinned and held a food box while passing through a quiet courtyard, a rugged-faced man in the courtyard couldn’t help but be puzzled. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After Bai Xian walked away, this man, who was Bazak, turned around to see the wizard Liu Yi who had unknowingly appeared behind him.

"He clearly..."

"Speak cautiously."

Just as Bazak was about to reveal his ’discovery,’ he was interrupted by Liu Yi.

Liu Yi slowly stretched her body, yawning lazily before saying, "Things are getting more interesting, but who knows... where that girl and Mingming might be now?"

Several days passed before Dong Huiying learned that Bai Xian had been enlisted by the Eighth Princess. This matter had to start with Shu Yu. A while back, whenever Shu Yu had free time, he would take his cherished old zither out to meet friends through music. And this ’friend’ was none other than Bai Xian.

That day, Shu Yu, with Bai Xian on his mind, went out, and when he returned, he seemed somewhat melancholic. Of course, his emotions were very subtle; even if he was unhappy, it was difficult for the average person to notice. But he couldn’t hide it from his clever brothers, and his wife-master understood his temperament well, so his odd behavior was quickly detected by the family.

Shu Yu recounted how he met Bai Xian: "That day, I passed by a building and heard wonderful zither music from inside. Upon entering, I discovered it was a brothel." He was naturally aloof, and aside from his brothers, wife-master, and the zither, there was little that could stir his emotions in this world.

He never looked down on those in the pleasure district, especially since his third brother had been one of them.

When he met Bai Xian, the zither music he’d heard that day was played by Bai Xian. Initially, they only discussed zither skills and music theory, but gradually realized they both came from the same place, Taihang Town in Pingchang Prefecture, which brought them closer.

Although they hadn’t known each other long, some friendships and connections aren’t measured by time. Sometimes, it’s a single sentence or an action that makes one feel they’re on the same wavelength.

To Shu Yu, Bai Xian was someone who resonated with him.

Yet Shu Yu was troubled.

"For someone like him, it’s unreasonable to make such a choice. I can’t understand why he would submit to the Eighth Princess. In our conversations, he spoke of his past, mentioning a woman he met in Taihang Town. He clearly had someone in his heart and didn’t value worldly riches and honor that much."

The main issue was the matter of stance. Now that Bai Xian had been enlisted by the Eighth Princess, while his own wife-master was destined to oppose her, it would be difficult for him and Bai Xian to remain close if they were to meet again.

"Are you talking about Bai Xian?" Dong Huiying was a bit confused, and Shujun also looked puzzled: "I know Bai Xian. When I was at the Sky Blue Building, I interacted with him. Although his appearance isn’t the most remarkable, his character is quite good."

Dong Huiying and Shujun exchanged a glance, both remembering how when their family once faced financial difficulties, Dong Huiying had conducted business with Brother Liubao from the Sky Blue Building.
