Medicine King Valley, inside the Medicine Mu Palace——

After confirming that Gu Qingze's physical condition was stable and he was recovering well, the King of Medicine hurried to Yaomu Palace.

He walked into the hall and saw a man who looked young, about twenty years old, sitting at a desk, stroking an ancient book with one hand and sipping tea from a cup with the other, looking quite relaxed.

"Brother, I saw... Junior Sister's child."

The Medicine King walked into the hall and bowed slightly.

Hearing this, the man gently closed the ancient book in his hand and turned his gaze to the Medicine King: "Brother Bai, have you become older and your memory has also declined?"

There was a hint of seriousness in his tone, "Don't forget, she is no longer our junior sister."

The Medicine King's expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little unbelievable. He couldn't help but call the other party by his full name: "Xu Yian, no matter what, Qingyue is still our junior sister. How can you be so ruthless?"

Xu Yian was slightly displeased when Medicine King called him by his name, and retorted: "Bai Ye, why do you have to pretend to be a hypocritical good person in front of me?"

"What qualifications do you have to stand on the moral high ground and accuse me? What happened back then... if we really talk about it, hmph."

Bai Ye fell into a brief silence after hearing this, and then slowly said: "I never felt that I did the right thing in that matter, you know this... I came to you for another matter."

Xu Yian nodded slightly, "Of course I know why you came here. If I can't figure out your little thoughts, then I'm not worthy of being your senior brother."

"You want me to take good care of Junior Sister... ahem, Lin Qingyue's child while he's here, and even tell him about what happened back then, right?"

Bai Ye replied: "That's right."

Xu Yian thought for a moment and nodded: "...I'll consider it."

Seeing that Bai Ye was still standing there after he made his promise, with no intention of leaving, he looked at him puzzledly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Bai Ye took a deep breath and said firmly, "Besides that, I want to ask you one more question. Are you really not going to acknowledge this junior sister?"

Xu Yian chuckled: "How could that be? If there is anyone who doesn't forgive or recognize me, it should be Lin Qingyue who doesn't recognize me as his senior brother."

"But...sever the father-daughter relationship, the master-disciple relationship, and all her ties with Medicine King Valley. This was ordered by the master himself."

"Master's majesty is so strong, I must support him at least on the surface."

"So, it's not that I'm heartless, but Master himself is. Even though... Junior Sister is no longer alive, he still cares so much."

Xu Yian's voice gradually became low, as if he was lost in his memories.

Bai Ye also fell into silence and self-blame: "Brother, you are right. The original incident... was indeed mainly my fault."

"If it weren't for me, Junior Sister wouldn't have insisted on severing her relationship with Master and would have been so decisive... Perhaps, none of the things that happened later would have happened."

Xu Yian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alright, I was just saying that out of anger just now."

"If you insist on holding on to it, then I will say that the responsibility lies with me. If it weren't for me, Junior Sister wouldn't have thought of leaving Medicine King Valley, and the series of events that followed wouldn't have happened."

"But since it has already happened, there is no point in talking about it. Let's just move on and put it behind us."

Xu Yian even began to comfort Bai Ye who was feeling guilty.

After a while, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "To be honest, you should stop worrying about Junior Sister's affairs."

"You should take care of your daughter, right? Your daughter is rebellious and has been away from Medicine King Valley for so long. Aren't you afraid that she will be in danger?"

Bai Ye sighed: "It gives me a headache just talking about it. But Bai Yueli is the kind of person who won't turn back until she hits the wall."

"It's good to let her try her luck outside. It will temper her temper and let her know that there is no place better than Medicine King Valley. This way, she can stay in Medicine King Valley peacefully and stop thinking about running outside all the time."

Xu Yian smiled helplessly and said, "Hey, you two are the same, it's really interesting."

Bai Ye did not intend to continue the in-depth discussion based on Xu Yian's words. Although he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, in fact, his concern for his daughter was like an undercurrent in his heart.

After all, that is his flesh and blood, an indispensable part of his life. How could he really not care?

However, Bai Ye was unwilling to reveal his family's private affairs to outsiders. Although Xu Yian was his senior brother, he was not a family member after all. They were just brothers who had joined the same sect.

As for Bai Yueli, his daughter, that was an internal matter between their families and he was unwilling to use it as a topic of conversation.

Therefore, Bai Ye deliberately acted indifferent, trying to end the topic as soon as possible in this way and divert attention away from his daughter.

He understood that this cover-up might not be perfect, but at least it could temporarily avoid unnecessary prying eyes and discussions.

Thinking back to Bai Yueli's growth process, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel guilty. As a father, he was indeed to blame for Yueli's current state.

Yueli's mother passed away early, and because he was busy with work, he neglected to care for and guide his daughter.

This debt was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to let it go. So when Bai Yueli left, he did not try to stop her, but chose to let her go.

Otherwise, with Bai Yueli's little tricks, if he didn't silently agree and secretly help her behind the scenes, she would not even be able to pass through the first level of the formation in Yaowang Valley, let alone leave here.

Bai Ye turned his gaze to Xu Yian and decided to bring the topic back to the beginning: "Brother, when are you going to tell Gu Qingze everything about my little sister?"

"After all... that's his mother's business. I think he has the right to know all of this and know his mother's past and experiences, rather than continue to be kept in the dark and know nothing."

Hearing this, Xu Yian's expression changed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "I said, I will consider it."

He looked straight at Bai Ye, his tone unquestionable: "Why don't you understand what I mean? When I said I would consider it, it was actually a euphemistic refusal."

"Why?" Bai Ye looked confused. "After all, she is Gu Qingze's mother. Wouldn't it be better for him to understand all this?"

Xu Yian shook his head, with an even more puzzled expression on his face: "Of course it's not good. If he knew these things, what good would it do us?"

Bai Ye frowned upon hearing this and asked doubtfully, "Benefits? Shouldn't we consider Gu Qingze's right to know?"
