Chapter 313 After Dying, I Woke Up In Ancient Times With My Pharmacy 12

His mind trailed to the image of the young miss he had encountered in the mountains. Even as she took out strange items from her sleeves to save him, her eyes had been clear and her bearing, bold.

He was someone who despised human touch so it had come as a surprise to him when he felt a refreshing feeling from her touch.

After he was found by his soldiers, he had sent a shadow guard to investigate the beauty in the mountains and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out that she was the Lu young miss he was bethroded to!

He\'d been planning on rejecting the bethrodal but when he discovered it was a beauty with an amazing temperament and unique medical skills... Only a woman like her was worthy of him!

Now...

The woman he had claimed had stared at another man so intimately. How could he be satisfied with this? He sneered. "Xuilan. Come here."

Lu Xuilan looked up at the figure on the wheelchair with a frown and then it finally clicked why the man seemed so familiar to her. Her eyes widened slightly as she called out, "It\'s you!"

Seeing that Lu Xuilan had finally recognized him, Tian Weisheng tilted his chin haughtily. In a much better mood, he casually waved, "You may all rise."

The hearts of the Matriarch and Lu Qian calmed down a notch as they called out with other members of their household, "Thanking His Highness the Fifth prince for his benevolence."

Lu Xuilan frowned. The Fifth prince? She locked eyes with Tian Weisheng. The dying man she\'d saved in the mountains was the Fifth prince? The very same man she was bethroded to? Her gaze turned complicated.

He was the first person she\'d encountered when she woke up in this time period and although she\'d thought nothing of it back when she healed him, seeing him now and knowing he was the one she was bethroded to made her feel a little blue.

At that moment, Tian Weisheng held out a hand and called out again, "Xuilan, come here."

Lu Xuilan wanted to refuse but thought better of it. She hadn\'t been in the Capital for long but judging from everyone\'s reaction earlier, this prince was not one to be trifled with.

Better to bide her time so she decisively walked forward. Although she rejected his hand and just stood by the side.

The Matriarch\'s eyes widened and she watched Tian Weisheng in fear but the man in question just brushed off Lu Xuilan\'s attitude with a smile and withdrew his hand.

Next, he looked between Lu Qian and He Yuan with a meaningful smirk. "General He is quite free lately -even having so much time to make friends.

-It seemed talking at the Imperial palace wasn\'t enough for you and Prime minister Lu so you both had to bring it over to the Lu mansion. If this prince didn\'t know better, I would say you were planning something."

Lu Qian\'s legs trembled from fear but He Yuan\'s disinterested expression remained the same. What Tian Weisheng was hinting at was clear for all and if brought to the notice of the Emperor, would not look good on the both of them.

Either ways, he wasn\'t too bothered. His goal was 888 and having found his System, everything else could be explained away so he simply said, "I\'m afraid I\'ll have to disappoint His Highness as Prime minister Lu had nothing to do with my visit today." He delibrately looked over to Lu Xuilan. "Miss Lu, on the other hand, is the reason."

A smile tugged at the corners of Lu Xuilan\'s lips again and Tian Weisheng\'s nostrils flared. He absolutely could not believe that the General had dared to admit it out loud! Has he been too lenient lately?!

His hand moved down to stroke the whip on his waist belt as he sneered. "How bold. Daring to have designs on this prince\'s future princess consort..."

He Yuan mocked a surprised expression and looked between Lu Xuilan and Tian Weisheng repeatedly for extra measure.

"This is... Well I had no idea." He lifted a fist and cleared his throat. "Now that I am, you can be rest assured that I am no longer interested."

The Lus exchanged dumbfounded looks, Lu Xuilan\'s head involuntarily moved back from surprise and even Tian Weisheng was a little taken aback. None of them had expected the General to admit defeat so easily.

Using this opportunity, He Yuan inclined his head, "This General would be on his way now." And then he smoothly made his escape.

Lu Xuilan\'s face was a little sour as she watched He Yuan go. He wasn\'t even willing to put in the least bit of effort to show his sincerity. Admittedly, that made her quite disappointed.

On the other hand, Tian Weisheng felt torn. What did the General mean by rejecting Lu Xuilan so easily?! Did the uncultured rogue think that Xuilan was comparable to those plain noble ladies in the capital?!

He clenched his fists. The woman he placed so much importance on was treated like a random option and that made his blood boil!

His eyes moved to Lu Xuilan and seeing the shift in her expression, he became even angrier. General. He!

He Yuan left the Lu mansion without looking back. It had been surprising to see Tian Weisheng show up much earlier than in the original timeline but his mind was already occupied with thoughts of his System.

It was possible that 888 had been faking the lack of recognition due to the presence of other people but whenever he thought of the fact that he, himself, had lost his memory when he entered this realm, he inexplicably felt things weren\'t so simple.

Soon, his carriage arrived at the He mansion and he went straight to his courtyard only to run into Mu Huan at the entrance.

The older man watched him closely. "I was wondering when you\'d return. I heard from Mu Shu that you had nothing when you returned yesterday, ate nothing before leaving for court and it\'s already so late in the afternoon yet you\'ve eaten nothing."

He Yuan pinched his forehead. "It\'s fine. Not hungry."

Mu Huan frowned in distress. Was the boy\'s worries that serious? In his concerned state, he let go of all formalities. "Yuan\'er. Whatever problems you may have, starving yourself is not a good solution. In fact, the weaker you are, the less efficient you would be in solving your problems."

He Yuan blinked in surprise. Honestly, he\'d never had an elder refer to him that way so it sounded a little strange. Besides, he\'d already taken a hunger relieving pill the night before so he was good but to others, it truly seemed as if he was depriving himself of food. He coughed in embarrassment. "Fine. I\'ll have something light."

Mu Huan nodded in relief but his expression still managed to look stern as he gingerly walked off.

Less than ten minutes later, Mu Huan returned with some servants carrying three different kinds of porridge and some soup for nourishment.

Helplessly, He Yuan took the bowl of rice porridge garnished with various condiments and uncomfortably ate under Mu Huan\'s watchful eyes. Once he was done, he nodded at Mu Huan in thanks before saying, "Later, have no one disturb me. I also don\'t need attendance from Mu Shu."

Mu Huan pursed his lips and had the servants clear the dishes. Next, eyed his ward meaningfully for several seconds but seeing that He Yuan had no intention of saying anything else, he reluctantly walked out.

Outside the room, a doubtful frown settled on his face. It was very clear that the boy was bothered about something but unlike before, he didn\'t take the initiative to share his worries. This situation made Mu Huan a little alarmed.

Inside the room, He Yuan took out several of his soul incense and lit them before settling into a lotus position. Regardless of what was going on in 888\'s mind, he planned to sneak into the Lu mansion later tonight.

After thinking carefully, he\'d recognized Shi Meifen as the Leaser\'s mother so, at least, he knew where his System was. He was curious about 888\'s relation to the Lu family though.

30 minutes later, He Yuan finally managed to move thoughts of his System to the back of his mind and get in the right head space for cultivation

Compared to the Modern realm, the ancient task realm was much better and was only below the Cultivation task realm when it came to abundance of qi.

Using his reformed method of Strength and Mental Fortitude cultivation, he calmly drew qi from the surroundings into his core and painstakingly circulated it throughout his meridians before settling on his mindspace.

Once.

Twice.

The third time, he body felt much lighter and his head felt cool and calm, making his thoughts flow clearer.

At an unknown time, He Yuan finally opened his eyes. The window was open so the light from the full moon spilled into his room, casting everything in a bluish shadow.

His body was covered in sweat and an uncomfortable goey substance so he swiftly undressed and twisted his shoulders to flex his stiff muscles before walking over to the bath area shielded behind a folding screen.

As he settled into the pool of water, a contented sigh left his lips. After swimming from one end to the other, he felt much more relaxed and looked down at the water. It was so clear that he could see the rest of his body under water.

He cupped some water in his hands and splashed his face with it -watching absentmindedly as the glistening droplets rolled down his chest and abdomen before disappearing into the pool.

He Yuan remained in the bath pool for another 15 minutes before getting out and dressing up in a plain all black outfit and a shawl of sorts that covered his face -similar to what was usually worn by his shadow guards.

----------------

Under the veil of night, a black clad figure sailed through the streets of the capital before arriving at the East entrance of the Lu mansion. This area was the least guarded and was closer to the Leaser\'s courtyard so without wasting much time, he slipped in.

Soon enough, the figure arrived at the desolate XiGuang courtyard but after searching for a while, he didn\'t find that familiar face.

Uneasiness crept up He Yuan\'s heart and he was about to switch courtyards when he landed on another roof and heard a sad voice.

Through a hole in the roof, his eyes landed Shi Meifen talking as she wiped the pale, emaciated and almost lifeless body of a person and upon closer inspection, his eyebrows shot up in surprise.

Wasn\'t that the Leaser?

Seeing Lu Wenduo in this state, He Yuan felt very off in his heart. A plausible explanation popped up in his mind but he refrained on dwelling on that thought until he spoke to 888.

Speaking of 888... He Yuan thought back to the words Shi Meifen had spoken to the unconscious leaser and his eyes moved to the ancestral hall he\'d passed by on his way to XiGuang courtyard.

A second later, he was retracing his steps to the far East of the Lu mansion.
