"The person is fine, just passed out, probably from fright."

Su Mo nodded, looked past the crowd, and couldn't help but laugh:

"It seems the guests on the ship still find that room too cramped.

"If that's the case, let the two of them stay with the White Tiger from now on.

"Drag them back."

He waved his big hand, and immediately some staff dragged Xiao Dao Ren and Shu Jing back to the White Tiger's 'bedroom'.

The White Tiger was gnawing on some beef, and upon lifting its eyes, it saw these two unlucky fellows again?

Then it noticed Su Mo approaching, so it lowered the beef, came to Su Mo's side, and gently rubbed Su Mo's hand with its big head.

Su Mo smiled:

"Don't eat them, and don't let them escape."

The White Tiger was wise and getting smarter. Hearing this, it nodded, turned back to look at Xiao Dao Ren and Shu Jing, with a glint of amusement in its eyes.

It wasn't allowed to harm anyone on this ship.

Su Mo had given strict orders on this matter.

But this time, the orders were clearly different from before.

Just don't eat them, and don't let them escape.

It didn't say it couldn't have a bit of fun with these two people.

With nothing to do, it didn't have to sleep all the time now.

Scaring them occasionally, poking around, as long as it didn't kill them, should be fine, right?

No matter what the White Tiger was thinking, Su Mo didn't care. Shu Jing and Xiao Dao Ren, after all their fuss overnight, just wanted to sleep with a tiger. Su Mo always helped fulfill others' wishes, so naturally, he wouldn't let them leave disappointed.

This matter was thus decided.

By now, it was almost noon. Song Yuanlong was busy preparing things, and the purchased goods were nearly ready.

Immediately, after bidding farewell to the Wang family father and son, Su Mo ordered the ship to set sail. The large ship departed from the dock, and in a short while, Pingyang Island was left behind.

...

...

After lunch, Su Mo instructed someone to move Yin Xiaoyu out of the storeroom.

He found another place and had Little Situ diagnose her injuries.

Little Situ's medical skills were divine, so this was naturally not a problem for her.

Soon, she treated what needed treating, fixed what needed fixing, and took out a few elixirs for Yin Xiaoyu to swallow.

Then, she had someone send Yin Xiaoyu back.

Seeing this, Yin Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Su Mo was genuinely treating her injuries. Perhaps his subsequent promises were not just empty words.

When the room was left with only Su Mo and Little Situ, Little Situ suddenly blinked and said to Su Mo:

"Brother Su, how about I take your pulse too?"

"???"

Su Mo was taken aback and didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"I'm perfectly healthy, what are you taking my pulse for?"

"Just passing some time."

Little Situ rolled her eyes and thought of a reason:

"They say practice makes perfect in martial arts and music as well.

"Pulse taking is a skill too; if you don't use it often, it will become rusty.

"Brother Su, will you let me practice?"

"..."

Su Mo gave Little Situ a skeptical look: "Really?"

"Really!!"

Little Situ nodded fervently like a little chicken pecking at rice.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had been married for a year, but Yang Xiaoyun showed no signs of pregnancy.

This worried Little Situ. After confirming that there were no issues with Yang Xiaoyun, she feared there might be some hidden illness with Su Mo.

Thus, she had been gathering herbs everywhere to concoct remedies for Su Mo.

But this was ultimately a one-sided effort, and now that she had almost all the materials, she couldn't proceed without assessing Su Mo's condition.

So, after attending to Yin Xiaoyu, she naturally brought up this topic.

Otherwise, she wouldn't just idly approach Su Mo to treat him for no reason…

That would be like nitpicking, wouldn't it?

However, even now, this excuse was quite clumsy.

Su Mo was someone not easily fooled, not even by the old monsters of Jianghu, let alone Little Situ?

But he didn't expose her, thinking that the girl was just genuinely concerned about his health, which is why she acted so abruptly. So he extended his hand:

"All right, let you practice your skills."

Little Situ nodded repeatedly and placed her fingers on Su Mo's wrist.

A moment later, her eyes widened in surprise.

Involuntarily, she looked towards Su Mo.

Su Mo was also puzzled: "What's the matter? Do I really have some incurable disease?"

"Nonsense!!"

Little Situ spat three times: "Brother Su, don't talk nonsense. Your… your body is perfectly fine, as good as it gets..."

Indeed, as good as it gets.

Vital energy was abundant, and there was no sign of weakness.

But how could this be?

If that were the case, why hasn't Yang Xiaoyun shown any signs of pregnancy?

Little Situ's face was full of confusion.

She was confused, and Su Mo was even more confused.

Why, when he's in good health, does Little Situ seem disappointed?

The two were left staring at each other briefly until Little Situ recollected herself and quickly withdrew her hand:

"Well… Brother Su, if there's nothing else… oh dear, there's still something to do."

She stopped mid-sentence, then pulled out a folded piece of paper from her bosom and unfolded it on the table:

"Brother Su, the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture you gave me yesterday is mostly fake. In each elixir recipe, there's an incorrect ingredient."

Hearing this, Su Mo furrowed his brows slightly:

"So it's fake, huh?"

Little Situ nodded: "Some ingredients are wrong, and some of the medicinal names are unheard of. As for the methods and dosages, they are quite peculiar.

"There are a total of forty pill prescriptions altogether, and each has forty problematic ingredients. I've recorded all of them, but I can't make sense of them…

"Brother Su, take a look."

Su Mo glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly:

"Sunflower one mace… What is this sunflower?"

Little Situ was speechless:

"Sunflower is a medicinal herb, sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature, with the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying."

"…All right."

Su Mo originally thought this was made up, but it turns out it really exists. He then asked:

"What's wrong with this ingredient in the prescription?"

"It's obviously wrong, its effect contradicts some other ingredients, and according to the prescription, this ingredient is redundant.

"It would be more effective to remove it."

"I see…"

Su Mo nodded and focused his attention on the paper.

"Sunflower one mace, Luo Kui one tael, plantain seeds two catties, Divine direction Cup one mace, Saffron one catty…"

Su Mo initially found it somewhat daunting, but after a moment, his expression changed slightly:

"Sunflower… one mace, Luo Kui… one tael… Sunflower, one… sun, Luo Kui one, Luo… sunset?"

He instinctively looked towards Little Situ, who was also taken aback. Looking back at these ingredients, when rearranged, they became… before sunset, head west!
