(Oh, there is at least one thing related to mystic trees here though Chu Wanning himself doesn't realize it.)
Chu Wanning pinches his mouth into a flat line. "I still have some medicine left though I have been stuck here for longer than I'd expected." He hadn't taken it tonight for more than one reason though he still had some stock left. "...I suppose I will need to find someone to make more."
He didn't sound like he particularly wanted to ask for help. He had built his entire self-worth on being useful, on being independent, on being a lonely pillar that could hold up even the sky if it should fall. Asking for help was simply impossible in the context of that. Besides which, this entire thing was just...embarrassing.
"If it comes to it, I will conserve the medicine and only use them in emergencies."
He will just have to hide his identity. He thinks this will work for two reasons: no one will miss the adult him, surely. And also he'd managed to fool his disciples back home.
