"I am a member of the Qi family. My brother, Qi Su … is also a young master of the Qi family." She lowered her eyelids, concealing the sorrow in her eyes. "But as a member of the Qi family, I am a good-for-nothing."
In reality, Yun Luofeng had sensed that there was something wrong with the little loli's body from the moment he saw her.
So when he heard her say this, he did not feel much emotion.
"The Qi family chased me out of the family and banished me to this backward town. My brother was also chased out in order to protect me." The little loli's eyes were filled with tears. "Those people gave my brother a mission. They wanted him to expand the medicine shop in the town. Otherwise, they would not let us return to the Qi family."
Yun Luofeng raised his brows. "I see that your brother is quite capable. Since that's the case, why don't you just expand the medicine shop?"
The little loli shook her head. "It's not that simple. The medicine shop needs the support of spiritual herbs. However, medicinal herbs can only evolve into spiritual herbs after a hundred years. Unfortunately, the few great spiritual herb mountain ranges in the Cloudy Continent are all controlled by those forces. Ordinary people cannot obtain spiritual herbs …"
Yun Luofeng had long known that whether it was the Spirit God Continent or this space, it would not be easy to obtain spiritual herbs.
Apart from needing a hundred years, more importantly, one needed a specific opportunity to transform the medicinal herbs into spiritual herbs …
This caused the supply of spiritual herbs to fall short of the demand!
"They said," The little loli lowered her head and answered timidly. "If my brother cannot complete this mission, it will not be as simple as chasing us out of the house. They will … they will sell me to someone else as a child bride. So, some time ago, my brother found a person who is willing to sell spiritual herbs and has recently pooled money to buy a stalk of spiritual herb to use as the treasure of the medicine shop."
Actually, spiritual herbs were not something that could not be bought in the Cloudy Continent. Unfortunately, all the mountain ranges that produced spiritual herbs had been monopolized by several forces.
It was not that Qi Su had not thought of going to the medicine shop in the Imperial City to buy a stalk of spiritual herb. However, those medicine shops had received orders from the Qi family and would not sell spiritual herbs to him.
That was also why Qi Su was in such a predicament …
Now, Yun Luofeng finally understood why the maidservant named Shiyu was so hostile towards him.
Qi Su was indeed in a predicament now. Yet, he had taken her in at this time. Wasn't this increasing their burden?
"Little Spirit."
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside the house.
Qi Ling blinked. When she turned her head, she saw Qi Su hurriedly running in.
"Little Spirit, hide here. Don't come out no matter what."
Qi Ling was stunned. Just as she was about to answer Qi Su's question, she heard a commotion coming from the front hall.
Qi Su's expression was very ugly. He looked at Yun Luofeng and said, "Miss Yun, please help me look after my sister."
After that, he didn't look at Qi Ling anymore, turned around and walked towards the front hall.
"Sister Yun," Qi Ling was a little scared as she curled up in a corner. "It's the Qi family, it must be the Qi family again …"
Looking at Qi Ling's frightened little face, Yun Luofeng turned his gaze to the courtyard outside the house. His eyes slowly darkened.
…
In the front hall.
A young man who looked similar to Qi Su was sitting on a chair, gently sipping a cup of tea.
He was a few years older than Qi Su, and his appearance was not as handsome as Qi Su's. Instead, it was more feminine.
