Chapter 344: Exploding in Silence (1)

When Ji Fengyan and the others returned from Liu Ruse’s home, Yichen bowed his head and did not respond for the entire journey. Only his eyes occasionally glanced at Ji Fengyan, who was walking in front.

Liu Ruse regaining consciousness had extricated Yichen from his previous difficult position. The Fourth Princess had already promised not to make trouble for him. All this was because of Ji Fengyan.

Yichen did not know why Ji Fengyan wanted to help him like this. He was worthless, so even if he wanted to repay his debt, he had nothing to give Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan and the others sent Yichen home. Although the Fourth Princess resented Yichen, she had been somewhat kind. Yichen had been unharmed, except for the fright he had received.

“How has your study of elixir refinement been progressing?” Ji Fengyan naturally sat down on a chair in Yichen’s house. During her short stay in Yichen’s house, she had taught Yichen the basics of refining elixirs. After she had returned to the Ji house, she had only sent some medicinal herbs through Zuo Nuo to allow Yichen to practice.

Yichen looked guiltily at Ji Fengyan. In truth, Yichen had been dabbling in medicine since he was young. The elixirs that Ji Fengyan had introduced had shattered his world view. Although he had tried to learn, for various reasons, he could not regain the passion he had when he had studied medicine.

Ji Fengyan rested her chin on her hand and looked at Yichen. She did not seem surprised by Yichen’s response.

Getting rid of stubborn notions and exposing oneself to new things were difficult to a certain degree. In addition, Yichen had run into trouble in medicine and that had become a pitfall, an emotional pitfall.

“Now that Liu Ruse has regained consciousness, she will recover soon. You can temporarily let go of your guilt. Are you saying that you intend to be subservient for the rest of your life?” Ji Fengyan looked at Yichen unhappily.

Yichen tried to hide his expression. His bone-deep sense of inferiority made him unable to face all this.

Ji Fengyan sighed softly.

“You are responsible for Liu Shangfeng’s fame as a pharmacist, aren’t you?”

Ji Fengyan’s words startled Linghe and Zuo Nuo, who were looking on.

In the past, Liu Shangfeng was not famous in the pharmaceutical circle and was merely one of many pharmacists. Only after he had created a type of superior grade medication had he suddenly become famous and became the renowned Grand Master Liu.

But Ji Fengyan’s words forcefully pointed out the basis of Liu Shangfeng’s standing.

Yichen’s eyes immediately widened and looked at Ji Fengyan, who had said such startling things.

“A hypocrite like Liu Shangfeng would never have the patience to study medicine. If he had that kind of determination and talent, why would he only become famous when he was middle-aged? Further, I heard that, except for a certain medication, Liu Shangfeng seldom shows any other medication. I think… he is afraid to expose his true standards?” Ji Fengyan spoke casually. Today, when Liu Shangfeng had been brought before the Fourth Princess, he had posed as a person of high morals, but in reality he had tried all means of condemning Yichen to death.

The truth was…

If he had nothing to hide, why was Liu Shangfeng make so much effort to silence someone?

Yichen was speechless. He only bowed his head, his fists tightly balled and hidden in his sleeves.

“Yichen, the weak are unable to take responsibility for their own lives.” Ji Fengyan said.
