Chapter 749: Chapter 743: Staying in the Eldest Senior Brother’s Courtyard

He thought for a moment, then counted on his fingers, and said, "It must have been six or seven days now. Huh? Where has that kid Yixi run off to?"

Gu Youyou sighed and said, "I’ve told you he already returned to Qi Mountain, but you just wouldn’t believe it. He’s been waiting for you on Qi Mountain all this time!"

Tian Jizi craned his neck to look at Gu Youyou, surprised, and said, "He really went back to Qi Mountain?"

Gu Youyou nodded affirmatively, saying, "Absolutely certain."

Tian Jizi fell silent for a moment, but then erupted in anger, "That damned brat, actually leaving me behind to go back by himself. Fine, let’s see if I don’t break his legs when I get back."

Without even finishing getting dressed, he hurriedly descended the stairs.

Yixi, standing to the side, looked at Gu Youyou with a face full of grievances. What if Master recognizes me when we get back to the mountain?

Gu Youyou helplessly shrugged her shoulders and gave him a look that meant ’fend for yourself.’

"Go chase after him quickly. If your leg gets broken, I’ll heal it for you. It’ll be trouble if your master gets lost."

After this commotion, they finally managed to bring Tian Jizi back to Qi Mountain.

Jin Zijin had sent a letter ahead to Qi Mountain, so by the time Gu Youyou and the others arrived, the little Taoist monks had already prepared a room for her to stay in.

In a simple and modest courtyard in the back mountain, the exterior was planted with various flowers and plants, all neatly and comfortably arranged.

As Gu Youyou arrived with Xiang Chun, it was already getting late, and soon someone brought dinner, telling her, "Doctor Gu, please settle down here for now. The offerings of the mountain are humble and can’t compare to the extravagance of Beijing, so please don’t look down upon it."

Gu Youyou hurriedly said, "This place is very nice, thank you kindly, little master."

The young Daoist monk smiled and said, "This courtyard used to belong to our eldest disciple. He wrote in his letter that a female doctor would be accompanying master back to treat him and instructed us not to neglect her. He also said to tidy up his old courtyard for you to stay in. If our eldest disciple regards Doctor Gu as an esteemed guest, we naturally treat you as one too. So if you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to tell me. You must let me know."

Gu Youyou was surprised that this courtyard was actually Jin Zijin’s.

She began to look around more attentively.

When Xiang Chun, who was tidying up, heard this, her brow furrowed, and she said to the young Daoist monk, "How can this be alright? Our Missy Gu isn’t married yet, how can she stay in a courtyard that a man has lived in before?"

Gu Youyou: "..." And just like that, she ruined the good atmosphere.

Xiang Chun’s remark had also put the young Daoist monk in an awkward position, as he rubbed the back of his head, not sure what to say.

Gu Youyou quickly intervened to ease the situation.

"Xiang Chun, what nonsense are you speaking? Qi Mountain doesn’t accept female disciples; if we don’t stay in a courtyard that a man has lived in, where else would you have us stay? Should they build a new courtyard just for us? It’s courteous of them to tidy up the courtyard where the eldest disciple used to live for us to stay in. Don’t think too much and misunderstand their kindness!"

Hearing Gu Youyou’s explanation, Xiang Chun felt there was some truth to it and stopped objecting. After a while, she apologized to the young Daoist monk, "Little master, I’m sorry, it’s my fault... I misunderstood."

The Daoist monk quickly smiled and said, "No problem at all, as long as you don’t mind!"

After that, he spoke to Gu Youyou, "Doctor Gu, my name is Qingyang. If there’s anything you need, you should come and find me. The letter from elder disciple specifically instructed me to take personal care of you."

Since this person was personally chosen by Jin Zijin, he surely could not be mistaken.

Gu Youyou smiled and said, "Then I thank you, Master Qingyang."
