With those words, he picked up the lantern and went into the house to find herbs. Xi Chenyu knew then that Master treated him differently.
After a while, Master came out with the herbs and said, "Wait. Take the medicine home after it's brewed."
Brewing it at home might arouse suspicion. Not many families in the village kept their lights on at night. Xi Chenyu nodded and went with Master to the kitchen.
While brewing the medicine, Master asked about Xiao Yunjing's condition.
"Oh? You said he fainted only after his poison was neutralized, and then he started to develop a fever?"
"Yes," Xi Chenyu nodded.
