The old methods were naturally those that the Hao Clan did not want to see the light of day.
In fact, there had been a lot of disappearances in recent years, which had attracted some people's attention. Some people were even investigating this matter.
Logically speaking, the Hao family should have kept a low profile at this juncture. However, Sima Youyue's silver needle technique was too attractive. They could not resist her charm at all.
After much hesitation, the Hao Family still made that risky decision.
At the same time, Sima Youyue found out about their thoughts and plans. As such, on the morning of the second day, Sima You Yue took her people and left. Then, she found a remote place and kept them in the Spirit Pagoda. Then, she pretended as if nothing had happened and strolled around the streets.
She entered a medicinal shop and began to look for the medicinal herbs she wanted.
"Dear guest, is there anything I can help you with? What kind of medicinal herbs do you want? "The shop assistant came up to him with an eager and enthusiastic attitude.
"I don't have anything I want to buy. I just want to see if you have any rare herbs." Sima Youyue said calmly.
The shop assistant could tell at a glance that she was an outsider, so he smiled and said, "Dear customer, do you want to see the unique medicinal herbs on our island?"
"Yes." Sima Youyue nodded. "If possible, I want older ones."
"These herbs are unique to our island. If you want to cherish them, you'll have to go to the second floor." The shop assistant said enthusiastically.
Sima Youyue glanced at the herbs and realized that they were all ordinary herbs. She lost interest after looking at them for a while.
"Since the treasures are on the second floor, I'll go there and take a look."
"Guest, please follow me."
The shop assistant brought her to the second floor and led her to the place where the unique herbs of the island were placed. He said, "Dear customer, this is the place."
Sima Youyue looked around. The herbs here were indeed much better than those downstairs.
"Is this Silver Water Grass?" She picked up a stalk of Silver Water Grass and looked at it.
"Yes, this is a hundred-year-old Silver Water Grass." The shop assistant replied.
"Are 100-year-old herbs considered rare?" Sima Youyue asked curiously.
"This Silver Water Grass is a rather common medicinal herb on the island. Because it has a wide range of uses, many people use it. Because of the high demand, they were usually dug out as soon as they reached the age where they could be used. In recent years, older ones have become very rare, "the shop assistant explained.
"I see," Sima Youyue understood and put down the Silver Water Plant. She then looked at the medicinal herbs in the other box.
Every time she looked at a medicinal herb, she would ask some questions about the herb, and the shop assistant would explain it to her in detail, some of which she was interested in.
"Give me the ones I chose just now." Sima Youyue said.
"Alright." When the shop assistant went to collect the herbs, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to Sima Youyue, "Dear customer, we just received a herb today, but it hasn't been displayed yet. Those medicinal herbs are also quite rare. Do you want to take a look? "
"It's also a rare medicinal herb? Then bring it up. "Sima Youyue replied.
The shop assistant went down and came back up in less than two minutes with a box in his hand.
Sima Youyue saw that the box was very exquisite, and the patterns on it were very intricate.
Many medicinal herbs were placed in jade boxes, and there were very few that were placed in wooden boxes. Sima Youyue became interested.
"What kind of medicinal herb is inside?" She asked curiously.
"Dear customer, you will know when you open it." The shop assistant handed the medicinal herb to her.
Sima Youyue did not suspect anything and opened the box. However, there was no medicinal herb inside, and white smoke came out. She only felt that she smelled something nice, and before she could react, she was lying on the table.
Seeing that she had fainted, a door on the second floor opened, and two people who looked like guards walked out.
"Done?" One of the guards asked.
The shop assistant kept his previous enthusiasm and nodded at the two of them.
The two guards came to Sima Youyue's side, and one of them picked her up and carried her under his armpit. They entered the previous room and disappeared from the second floor silently.
Sima Youyue woke up with a headache, and her body was still weak. She wanted to rub her forehead, but she could not do so.
However, she was in a good mood, and there was even a faint smile on her face.
"Hmph, stupid woman, you always end up like this. Other than hurting yourself, do you know any other way? "Mi Er's voice sounded, and then, a miniature version of her appeared by the bed.
Sima Youyue ignored the sarcasm in his words, and said, "This is the simplest and most effective way."
"Hmph! Go ahead and do it! "Mi Er said unhappily," Which medicinal pill? "
"The orange-red one." Sima Youyue said.
Mi Er took out an orange-red medicinal pill and stuffed it into her mouth. Very quickly, she felt that she was slowly regaining control of her body.
When her body was completely detoxified, she sat up from the bed and looked around the room.
The room was not big, and the decorations were simple, but the things used were of the highest quality.
Perhaps because they knew that she would be weak after being poisoned, there was not even a guard at the door.
"The Hao Family knows how to enjoy themselves." Sima Youyue commented.
"Hmph." Mi Er cooperated and gave her a single syllable.
"I wonder where Master and the rest are."
Would they be locked in the same place as her?
"Don't think about it. When I came in, I looked around. This is a small courtyard, and you're alone. "Mi Er said.
Sima You Yue was surprised when she heard this. She was locked up alone? Then it seemed that she was treated well, and she was not locked up immediately.
Thinking about it, she had not met the Hao Family yet. If she was willing to join the Hao Family, then she would not be locked up in their secret base. It would not be too late to send her over after they met and confirmed that she would not join them.
Hence, she stayed here peacefully and waited for the Hao Family to appear.
She was not disappointed. The Hao Family appeared the next day. Seeing that Sima Youyue had already woken up, they were not surprised.
"Who are you?" Sima You Yue was lying on the bed. She still looked very weak.
"I am the head of the Hao Family, Hao Zhi."
"Hao Family?" Sima Youyue frowned, "Why did you bring me here?"
Hao Zhi did not reply to her, but walked directly to the bedside and lowered his head to look at her, saying with a smile, "Miss You Yue has obtained first place in the Crimson Pearl Convention. This Hao has yet to congratulate you!"
Sima Youyue's face was cold as she mocked, "Drugging and locking someone up, is this how the Hao Family congratulates someone? I cannot accept this kind of congratulation! "
