Most of the herbs that she needed were extremely rare and grew in extremely dangerous places where beasts and monsters roamed. Without a spiritual power of level four or above, it was impossible to set foot in those places. That was why the price of these herbs was so high. Any one of them could easily cost tens of thousands of silvers.
Therefore, her current task was to look for the silvers and collect some herbs by herself. She had to collect as many herbs as she could.
Although her spiritual power was not up to par, she had the Teleportation Technique, so her ability to escape at critical moments was still very strong.
Just as she was calculating, she suddenly heard something. With a flick of her wrist, she put away the small crystal box. Then, she reached for a book beside her and leaned against it to read.
A moment later, there was some movement outside and a gentle voice could be heard, "Is sixth sister in the room?" It was Gu Tianqing's voice.
The maids outside had been ordered by Gu Xijiu to not let anyone in unless Gu Xijiu answered.
Therefore, the maids stopped Gu Tianqing and Gu Tianyi and told them that their master was resting and would not see any guests.
The two of them came with a doubt and became even more suspicious when they saw the reaction of the maids.
They tried to find a few reasons to enter the room but were stopped by the maids. This made them even more suspicious. Gu Tianyi's face turned gloomy, "Is it possible that Miss Gu is not in the room?" She decided to force her way in.
Both of them were good at martial arts and the maids were servants of the Gu family after all. They did not dare to fight with the two of them. In just a moment, they had already entered the room.
The door of the room was pushed open and the two of them came in like a gust of wind. They were stunned when they saw what was in the room.
Gu Xijiu was lying on her side on the bed with her long hair hanging loosely over her shoulders. She was holding a book in her hand, looking relaxed and indifferent. She raised her eyebrows as she looked at the two intruders. Her voice was gentle but her words were sharp, "It is late at night. Why do you intrude into my room? Are you trying to rob or kill? "
Gu Tianqing didn't expect her to be in the room, so she was a little embarrassed. Gu Tianqing forced a smile and said, "Sixth sister, we were just worried about you. We were afraid that you would be hurt by those servants, so we broke in to have a look. Sixth sister, since you were in the room, why didn't you answer us?"
Gu Xijiu put down the book in her hand, "I have been used to peace all these years, and I do not want to be disturbed. Is this not allowed as well? "
Gu Tianqing was speechless again. Gu Tianyi said angrily, "We are kind enough to visit you …"
"Thank you, but I don't need it." Gu Xijiu's voice was even colder. "Come!"
A maidservant outside hurriedly came in and bowed, awaiting orders.
"Who was guarding outside just now? Call them in! "
The leader of the handmaidens quickly went out to summon the two handmaidens who were guarding the door. Gu Xijiu sat up and looked at the two handmaidens who were kneeling there. "Whose handmaidens are you? Who is your master? "
The two maids lowered their heads and answered, "We are the maids of the Sixth Miss. The Sixth Miss is our master."
Gu Xijiu's voice was cold. "Since you know that I am your master, why didn't you stop the intruder?"
