Evil of all ages

Chapter 264 The Cabbage Was Stolen
After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yu'er decided not to contradict her grandfather and instead went to find Huang Yunyou with a thick book of advanced medical notes.

"Why don't you just give up? You have to memorize such a thick medical manual and learn about five hundred kinds of herbs, and you have to finish it in three days."

"This is almost impossible."

Shangguan Yu'er told Huang Yunyou that his grandfather was deliberately making things difficult for him and advised him to give up.

I want to give it a try.

Huang Yunyou knew this might be a test from the Heavenly Doctor Elder, and he was determined to try it no matter what.

"Aren't you going to try to persuade him?"

Seeing Huang Yunyou's stubbornness, Shangguan Yu'er looked at Qiao Bingyun, hoping she could persuade him.

"I believe in him"

Qiao Bingyun blurted it out without even thinking.

Upon hearing this answer, Shangguan Yu'er felt a surge of curiosity about Huang Yunyou.

She wasn't some clueless young girl; she could tell that Qiao Bingyun liked Huang Yunyou.

If she didn't like him, how could Qiao Bingyun have carried Huang Yunyou to such a place by sheer willpower, trusted him completely, and looked at him with such tenderness?

Is this still the ruthless white-haired witch who kills without blinking an eye?
She actually fell in love.

It would be strange if she weren't curious about the man who could bewitch the white-haired witch.

"Since you insist on trying, I will reluctantly teach you to identify medicinal herbs."

After Shangguan Yu'er finished speaking, she pushed Huang Yunyou to inspect the medicinal herbs and herbs drying in the yard.

As she got to know him, Shangguan Yu'er realized just how terrifying Huang Yunyou's learning ability was.

In just one morning, Huang Yunyou not only learned about more than 200 kinds of medicinal herbs, but also explained their uses and medicinal properties.

Only after Huang Yunyou went to rest and study did she run to tell her grandfather how strong Huang Yunyou's learning ability was.

"Oh, I see."

I was amazed to hear that Huang Yunyou could recognize more than 200 kinds of medicinal herbs in just one morning and could explain the effects and medicinal properties of each herb.

Even the well-informed Shangguan Guoqiang was unsettled.

But he remained expressionless and waved for his granddaughter to leave.

Two days have passed
"Grandpa, he did it."

"In less than three days, in just two days he not only memorized the advanced general medical manual, but also noted the effects and medicinal properties of five hundred kinds of herbs."

Shangguan Yu'er ran in excitedly and said.

"The inspection has been completed; there was no water release?"

When Shangguan Guoqiang heard that Huang Yunyou had completed his test in just two days, his mind began to race.

But he still pretended not to care and asked.

"I didn't turn the water off."

"If you don't believe me, Grandpa, I'll call him in now and let you test him."

When Shangguan Yu'er saw that her grandfather suspected her of going easy on Huang Yunyou, she pouted unhappily.

Shangguan Guoqiang waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary. He walked to a corner, took out several medical books and medical notes, and asked his granddaughter to give them to Huang Yunyou.

He then instructed his granddaughter to teach Huang Yunyou the same way he had previously used rabbits and monkeys to teach her.

Seeing her grandfather's behavior, Shangguan Yu'er knew that he was already thinking of taking on a disciple.

But Grandpa probably sent her here to test and observe Huang Yunyou's character more.

It's also possible that he just refused to take on any apprentices, but couldn't bring himself to do it again.

Regardless of which one it was, Grandpa's decision to send her was exactly what she wanted.

Spend more time with Huang Yunyou; she actually quite likes him.

After today, Shangguan Guoqiang will have less time to refine pills.

He often hid in the shadows to observe his granddaughter teaching Huang Yunyou medicine.

As he observed, he realized something was wrong.

Why is my granddaughter smiling more often?

He soon realized something was wrong: the cabbages in his house had been stolen.

But it seems too late to intervene now.

The granddaughter would often become so engrossed in watching Huang Yunyou study so diligently that she would drift off into a daze.

Or when he's alone, he's lost in thought, and he'll occasionally chuckle to himself.

As someone who's been through it all, he knew perfectly well that his granddaughter was going through puberty.

Although after observing him for a few days, Huang Yunyou's character seemed acceptable.

But the fact that his cabbage was stolen right under his nose made him uncomfortable.

This caused his alchemy furnace to explode several times.

One day, Shangguan Yu'er came running over.

"Grandpa, he's amazing." "In just a few days, he not only mastered everything I taught him, but he also memorized all the medical books and medical notes you gave him."

Shangguan Yu'er massaged her grandfather's shoulders, subtly implying that she hoped he would accept Huang Yunyou as his apprentice.

"Have you thought this through? Often, the more outstanding a person is, the more female confidantes they have around them."

Shangguan Guoqiang reminded him.

"what"

"Grandpa, what are you saying?"

"Whether he has many female confidantes or not is his business, what does it have to do with me?"

Shangguan Yu'er's eyes darted around, like a cat caught stealing fish.

"You~"

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Shangguan Guoqiang sighed and shook his head. He already knew that his granddaughter was deeply involved and unable to extricate herself.

“Grandpa, you’ve tested him many times and even shown him your medical notes. You must want to take him on as your apprentice. Why keep delaying his acceptance?”

"Grandpa, please accept him, okay?"

Seeing that her grandfather wouldn't budge, Shangguan Yu'er shook his arm and pleaded.

Go and fetch him.

Shangguan Guoqiang had no choice but to ask his granddaughter to fetch Huang Yunyou.

Seeing that her grandfather had relented, Shangguan Yu'er skipped and hopped off to find Huang Yunyou.

soon
Huang Yunyou was brought here by Shangguan Yu'er.

"thump"

With Shangguan Yu'er's meticulous care and the use of the finest medicines to treat his injuries, Huang Yunyou was able to walk again long ago.

Now that Shangguan Yu'er had brought him here, Huang Yunyou knelt down without saying a word.

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

Huang Yunyou kowtowed deeply.

"Don't rush to call me master yet, I haven't agreed to take you as my disciple."

Shangguan Guoqiang did not stop him immediately, but waited for Huang Yunyou to finish kowtowing before speaking.

"Grandpa~"

When Shangguan Yu'er saw that her grandfather was about to make things difficult for Huang Yunyou again, she wanted to say something, but her grandfather glared at her, and she quieted down.

"Please answer two questions for me first."

"After you answer, I will consider whether or not to take you as my disciple."

Shangguan Guoqiang said.

"Please ask, senior. I will not hide anything from you, as long as I know the answer."

Huang Yunyou said.

"With your strong learning ability, if you were interested in studying medicine, you would have done so long ago instead of waiting until now."

"Don't tell me that it was this injury and seeing the people around me get hurt that made me feel powerless, which is why I wanted to study medicine."

"I want to hear the truth."

Shangguan Guoqiang sensed that Huang Yunyou's interest in studying medicine was not genuine, but rather as if he wanted to complete some kind of mission.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yunyou's expression became conflicted, unsure whether he should answer the question truthfully.

"Because it was a system task, I had to study medicine."

After hesitating for a while, Huang Yunyou answered truthfully.

He dared to take such a gamble because he discovered Shangguan Yu'er's feelings for him.

If the Heavenly Doctor Elder knew he was the system owner and wanted to harm him, Shangguan Yu'er would surely stop her grandfather.

"System task?"

"You are the system owner!?"

Shangguan Guoqiang was shocked. No wonder the other party was not the disciple of the strongest person in the world. At this age, he still had this level of cultivation. It turned out that he was the owner of the system.

When Shangguan Yu'er heard that Huang Yunyou was the owner of the system, she was surprised, but she was also happy for Huang Yunyou.

Because everyone knows that having a system means having virtually unlimited possibilities.

"No wonder you wanted to study medicine; it turns out this was a system task."

"Becoming my disciple counts as completing the system task?"

"What level of learning is required? Or what conditions must be met to complete the system task?"

"What's making you so motivated? Is it because the system's reward after completing the task is hard to refuse? What kind of reward is it?"

The system had been around for a while, and Shangguan Guoqiang had heard some rumors about its owner, so he asked them all at once.
