Yan Feng caught up to Shen Yan and Qi Gu with his speed.
Qi Gu was extremely excited when he saw the prescription, but Shen Yan was unusually calm. He did not even look at it.
He cupped his fists at Yan Feng and said calmly, “I’ll have to trouble you to relay a message to Prince Zhan Yun. Tell him that the 18 Stockaded Villages will find a way to obtain the prescription ourselves. He won’t have to worry about it.”
“Big Brother!” Qi Gu panicked upon hearing that.
He’s rejecting the prescription when it’s right before us! What kind of logic is that?
“Big Brother, this prescription—”
“Shut up!” Shen Yan interrupted Qi Gu coldly.
Does he think it’ll be easy to return the favor? Given Prince Lei Ting’s expression, Qian Jiyun will have a hard time if we accept this prescription.
Prince Lei Ting is so shameless. Even if we owe Qian Jiyun this favor, he’ll forcefully claim it instead. We can owe anybody but the royal family!
“We’ll go back and discuss the prescription.”
“Chief Shen, you’ve misunderstood.”
Yan Feng looked at Shen Yan’s expression and knew something was amiss.
Master does want to do the 18 Stockaded Villages a favor but not in a way that’s like a forced transaction. If that’s what he wanted, he might as well forget about it. This way, he can at least be friends on the surface with them when he meets them next time.
“Master doesn’t want anything. He just doesn’t want anyone to die because of the epidemic. The 18 Stockaded Villages don’t owe him anything over a prescription.”
Shen Yan questioned, “Is this what your master thinks?”
He reckoned Qian Jiyun would not say such things.
“Uh, well…” Yan Feng paused. Of course, Qian Jiyun had never said that.
However, he thought that if his master had been present, he would have said the same thing. He was just speaking according to how his master would think.
“That’s what Master thinks too,” he replied in a deep voice.
“Big Brother!” Qi Gu looked at Shen Yan for his opinion.
However, Shen Yan still did not accept the prescription. He wanted to think about it more. There must be more to this.
He stared at the prescription in Yan Feng’s hand. In the end, he took a deep breath and did not accept it.
“Thank him on my behalf. I appreciate his kindness. But this prescription… We’ll leave now.”
After cupping his fists at Yan Feng, he turned around, got on his horse, and left.
Qi Gu left with Shen Yan. After a while, they dismounted their horses to talk to each other.
He gritted his teeth indignantly and exclaimed, “Big Brother! The prescription was right before us, but we let go of it just like that!”
The prescription was right before them a moment ago. They could have easily reached out to obtain it. However, Shen Yan had to reject Qian Jiyun’s offer.
Qi Gu could understand his concerns, so he did not say anything else.
But when he recalled the situation in the village, he hated himself for not learning anything from his father. It would be good enough if he picked up a skill to help detoxify his brothers.
