They spent quite a long time in the apothecary. Wan Shao seemed somewhat satisfied with the herb supplies in Yun City, writing out three prescriptions with ease and instructing the shopkeeper to prepare the daily amounts. Out of respect for Yun Duan, the shopkeeper was exceedingly enthusiastic, volunteering to take on the task of delivering the herbs to them every day.
Finally, they left the apothecary. The sickly Shang Can, who had been sitting idly by without being of any help, let out a long sigh, prompting Wan Shao to laugh, "You look like a dog that finally escaped after being rolled around by someone."
In a sense, she wasn't wrong. Exhausted from dealing with Yun Duan's relatives, Shang Can didn't bother to respond.
The warmth of Yun City's people didn't wane once their task of buying medicine was complete. Yun Duan had initially wanted to take Shang Can and Wan Shao for a stroll around Yun City, but everywhere they went, they encountered acquaintances. As a result, most of their time was spent in conversation.
This was mainly true for Yun Duan and the people of Yun City. Since she was already not very talkative, after Shang Can joined the conversation, she spoke even less, merely holding onto Shang Can's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Seeing her like this, Shang Can found it hard to suggest that she face things alone and had to adopt a modest and polite demeanor, taking over the conversation from time to time while inwardly cursing the idle Wan Shao beside them for being such a low-maintenance companion.
When lunchtime came, the three of them casually found a restaurant. Shang Can finally managed to catch her breath, but just as they finished their meal and stepped outside, she heard a loud voice nearby. Aunt Wang, calling out energetically, greeted her, "Little Immortal, you're here to eat too?"
Great, now the whole street knew that Shang Can was the disciple of Qing Yu who had saved Yun Duan during the demon tide in Yun City.
The people of Yun City became even more enthusiastic, rushing over without giving Shang Can and the others a chance to refuse. They chattered away, finalizing plans for a banquet that evening. Shang Can felt both amused and helpless, looking to Yun Duan for help, but she simply nodded lightly and said, "That's fine; Ah Can should eat more at the banquet."
... Sigh, she had already eaten quite a bit these past few days, but it seemed her junior sister still thought it wasn't enough.
"You wouldn't understand," Wan Shao said with a sigh, placing a hand on her shoulder, speaking in a tone of profound wisdom. "Unless you suddenly gain a few pounds and your eyesight improves without injury for a year or two, Yun Zhongjun will always think you're not eating enough."
Shang Can remained silent and shrugged Wan Shao's hand off her shoulder.
That night, in the restaurant.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was quite lively. Although Shang Can couldn't see, the noise indicated that there were definitely a lot of people.
Although this banquet was ostensibly set up for her, most attendees were likely there for Yun Duan. After all, she didn't enjoy noisy places, and it was a rare occasion to have Yun Zhongjun in attendance. Therefore, Yun Duan was surrounded by people, making it hard for her to escape.
With her delicate appearance and good conversational skills, coupled with her eyes covered by a white cloth, Shang Can naturally evoked the pity and affection of the older generation. The people of Yun City quickly warmed up to her, engaging her in conversation almost as much as they did with Yun Duan. However, most of the topics still revolved around Yun Duan: "I heard something happened at the Tianwaitian debate conference a while back. Did you attend, little girl?"
