Chapter 434 - 436: Dinner Together
"How is it you?" Shao He, upon seeing the familiar figure, had not expected him to find this place.
"I’ve heard that your medical skills are superb, and even The Emperor has conferred upon you the title of Divine Doctor. So, I came to ask if there’s any possibility for my illness to be cured," Pei Hanze stated, well aware that it was impossible. It was merely an excuse he had concocted.
Shao He pursed his lips and said, "I may be a Divine Doctor, but I’m no deity. With a condition like yours, all you can rely on are various nourishing medicinals to keep you going."
His organs were gradually failing, and all that could be done was to delay the decline. There was no way to treat it, especially given the extreme unsteadiness of his qi.
Pei Hanze let out a light laugh, "You’re quite amusing, girl. I wonder if I might have the honor of inviting you to dine with me this evening?"
"I’ve heard that a new Drunken Immortal Pavilion has opened in the Capital City. Miss Shao, would you care to join me and try it out?"
Shao He, seeing the smile on his face, recalled the words that Pei Huaian had questioned her with last night. Moreover, Ah Mo had mentioned that Pei Huaian had always been protecting her from the shadows.
Shao He was annoyed she hadn’t managed to keep Pei Huaian by her side last night and was worrying about how to force him into the open. Now the opportunity had presented itself.
Perhaps this would force him to appear. Shao He hoped to face what lay ahead together with Pei Huaian, rather than letting him suffer alone.
Moreover, he had been working on a potion for mania. Although he hadn’t succeeded yet, he believed he would definitely be able to create it.
Pei Hanze, noticing Shao He’s dazed expression, waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Miss Shao, are you alright?"
