Divine Doctor Ji stroked his beard: “What faction is he?”
Wenren Hen said: “I don’t dare to deceive the older generation*(1). This younger generation* and his shidi have been separated for ten years. I* only found him recently. He was injured and could not remember anything. I* am not clear on this issue, but since I* have recovered him, henceforth he certainly has wanted to follow me*.”
Manor Lord Wei also chimed in: “Precisely, after Xiao Heng already took a look, can it be something can still happen?”
Divine Doctor Ji did not have a good mood upon looking a glance at Manor Lord Wei, and as if he had said nothing, heartily began to take Ye You's pulse, and after letting him take apart the cloth strips and looked at it, said: “The burn is not serious, just smear Hundred Herb Dew and it will be okay.”
Wenren Heng made an agreeing sound, and seeing that he is still feeling the pulse, he waited patiently.
“The internal force is a bit strange, it seems that there is nothing, but there is no internal injury.” Divine Doctor Ji said, “You said that he did not remember anything, but did he run into going over his limits?”
Wenren Heng said: “At the time this younger generation found him, he already could not remember anything.”
The implications are currently unclear.
Divine Doctor Ji carefully diagnosed the pulse for a while, and concluded that there is no serious problem in the body. There is no internal injury or poisoning. Apart from some outside injury, there is basically no problem. As for internal force and amnesia, a medicine can be tried first.
He said: “Drink for five days, then come over and let me see after finishing the drinking.”
Manor Lord Wei, in a day handled ten thousand matters, seeing to this one took a long time, thus he was called by his subordinates. Wenren Heng wrapped up the cloth for his shidi. He politely got up to leave, and slowly walked out along the way. He asked: “The internal force remains but a drop. Did you feel unwell these days?”
“Nope,” Ye You said. “Didn't the Divine Doctor also say that I am fine?”
Wenren Heng nodded and did not ask again, but in his heart was even more worried.
In the past few years, he has intersected a few times with his shidi. He knows how his shidi nowadays had internal energy diminished this terribly much. He had previously secretly seen it, and also felt that it was not like an internal injury. He thought that there was some way for Divine Doctor Ji. He did not expect that he would also be unable to say the reason why. This is a problem.
His shidi's temper is peevish, and easily offends people. Could it be that outside he has ran into a sin, and the victim's family pursued him to the Central Plains?
He feels a headache.
Ye You didn’t know the mind of his shixiong, and asked: “Just then, why did Divine Doctor Ji ask what is my faction?”
“Divine Doctor Ji, when practicing medicine, has always had several rules, that must not be violated so he will not see death and be unable to be saved.” Wenren Heng said, “One of those laws is that ‘those of an evil faction will not be saved’, so that is why he asked.”
Ye You raised eyebrows: “That…”
He wanted to mention the Demonic Sect, but the words turned around in his mouth and he changed the question. “Am I evil?”
“Who even knows?” Wenren Heng’s tone is very helpless. It seems that it is such a thing. “Shixiong also wants to find out what faction you are. But isn't it that nothing can be done? Since it is unclear, then you are temporarily regarded as a person of my Shuangji Sect.”
Ye You is more and more aware that his shixiong, apart from being difficult to deal with, is quite shameless. However, seeing his shixiong this way, 80% chance he is an nefarious faction's person. Actually is it Demonic Sect or is there a hatred with Demonic Sect?
Having said that, will he really join the evil faction?
Wenren Heng looked at him: “What are you thinking?”
Ye You seriously said: “I feel that I am so upright and kind-hearted, it is improbable I am of an evil faction.”
“…” Wenren Heng looked at him, “Yeah.”
The two arrived late, the Wang family has already hosted a lot of people, but in order to guard against the unexpected, the Family Head reserved a few inn guest rooms, and Wenren Heng naturally belongs to the eligible group, and he took his shidi to reside in one. After, the first thing is to send people to simmer medicine.
The medicine came out very dark. Ye You sipped a bit. His eyebrows jumped, and then immediately following that, his face did not change color and in a breath was tightly blank.
Wenren Heng promptly poured a glass of water for him: “Bitter?”
Ye You's mouth was stiff: “It’s okay.”
Wenren Heng said: “You used to be particularly afraid of bitterness. When you were stupid, every time you took medicine, you would lose your temper and smash the bowl. You would also make an unreasonable scene and roll around, crying noisily for a long time.”
“…” Ye You silently gave it a go, and decided to face it.
He coughed and was about to ask about the specific circumstances of that time. He heard that the door was knocked, and Knife-Scar Man came in and told them that Manor Lord Wei sent someone to invite them to eat.
Wenren Heng has no complaint and just got up, but was grasped by the person next to him.
Ye You said: “Shixiong, I am telling the truth, it is really bitter.”
Wenren Heng stared at him silently, and he could already predict what he would say next.
Sure enough, Ye You said: “It's bitter to the point I have no appetite, you go by yourself.” He finished speaking and released his hand. He swayed and climbed into the bed, extremely weak.
Wenren Heng remained silent and signaled the subordinate to properly watch over him, and then he leaves.
After he walked away on foot, Ye You on his foot stood up, slowly went to the door and glanced at Knife-Scar Man who followed, and asked: “My shixiong and Manor Lord Wei's relationship is very good?”
“These years have been quite good. It seems that before, the School Master's Shifu had an accident, and Manor Lord Wei rushed to help him.” Knife-Scar Man had gotten the School Master's order, and basically answered the general question. “Furthermore, there is Manor Lord Wei's little daughter, who toward the School Master has respect and intention, and Manor Lord Wei also wants to let the School Master be his son-in-law.”
This much words, Ye You, toward Manor Lord Wei, is unexpectedly less warm. He curiously asked: “What about my shixiong?”
Knife-Scar Man said: “I don’t know, they haven’t opened up about the subject…” He paused a bit. “Oh right, about half a year ago, Manor Lord Wei seemed to ask the School Master why he was not married.”
Ye You asked: “What did my shixiong say?”
Knife-Scar Man looked at him and told the truth: “The School Master said that he has not found his shidi, so for the time being he has no intention of getting married.”
The moment he heard, Ye You became aware he is to take the blame, said : “In the future, my shixiong will get married. You, all of Shuangji Sect must not forget to give me a big red envelope.” (2)
Knife-Scar Man: “…”

1)Wenren Heng is using polite honorifics here. Divine Doctor Ji is referred to as 前辈 qiánbèi (the older generation/senior) and Wenren Heng refers to himself as 晚辈 wǎnbèi (the later/younger generation). Where I mark "I" or "me" with a *, it means in the raws WRH is referring to himself as 晚辈 wǎnbèi (younger generation) but it would have been clunky to keep on writing it.
2)Previously, Ye You has said he likes men. Here I believe the implication is he will be the one marrying Wenren Heng because in Chinese weddings, red envelopes with money inside are given to the couple being married. It is like how western weddings have wedding registries to track the gifts that wedding guests give them (usually domestic appliances).
Wenren Heng was so shady this chapter. What is shame? 🙂
Ye You doesn't like bitter. But can he handle sour (vinegar)? ono
One of the websites I use to translate (Systran) was down today so this was pretty much Google Translate alone, which is unfortunate because sometimes Google completely erases some words and doesn't parse it at all, while I trust Systran to not do that. Argh! I still eye the raws though.
