"You are?" Sima Youyue and Little Seven arrived outside the prison. The middle-aged man came to welcome them personally.
"I'm Zhan Xing, Zhan Liu 'er's grandfather." Zhan Xing smiled and said, "My insensible granddaughter was blind and offended you. I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you can forgive her for being insensible and don't hold it against her."
Zhan Liu 'er's grandfather? The person who could stop the Sky Heaven School from participating?
Was it because he did not have the ability that Zhan Liu 'er mentioned, or was it because Xuan Qiu's status was too high and he did not dare to offend him?
Her intuition told her that it was the latter.
"If she doesn't find trouble with us, I can pretend that nothing happened," Sima Youyue said.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely teach that girl a lesson. Thank you for not fussing over it." Zhan Xing smiled apologetically.
Sima Youyue came to Xuan Qiu's side, "Why are you here to pick us up?"
"I just happened to know, so I came." Xuan Qiu said. "Let's go, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter?" Sima Youyue was a little surprised, but she still nodded. "Let's talk outside."
Outside the dungeon, Xuan Qiu said to Zhan Xing, "Vice President Zhan, since the matter has been resolved, we won't delay your time."
Zhan Xing was an old fox who had lived for many years. He naturally understood that Xuan Qiu was chasing him away. He smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are some things that I haven't settled yet. Then I won't disturb you. Goodbye. "
With that, he cupped his hands towards Xuan Qiu and left.
"I know you have doubts. Let's leave this place first and I'll tell you slowly," Xuan Qiu said and left in his wheelchair.
Sima Youyue and Little Seven followed him out of the Alchemist Guild and came to a small courtyard.
"Where is this?" Seven asked.
"My temporary lodging." Xuan Qiu replied.
At this moment, the door opened from the inside. A servant came out and said, "Young Master, you've returned."
The servant came behind Xuan Qiu and grabbed the wheelchair. With a little effort, the wheelchair was lifted up the stairs.
"Xuan Qiu, why did you bring us here?" Sima Youyue asked.
"I want you to do me a favor." Xuan Qiu said.
Although Sima Youyue was curious, she could only follow him into the house since he had no intention of telling her the details.
"You don't have to be nervous, I won't let you do anything outrageous." Xuan Qiu said, "I just heard some things, so I want you to help me."
"How can I help you?" Sima Youyue asked.
"You'll know when we get there."
Xuan Qiu brought her to the backyard. Other than the flower beds, there were two small trees planted in flower pots. Silver trunks, emerald green needles, and tiny flowers blooming on them.
"Do you see those two small trees?" Xuan Qiu asked.
Sima Youyue nodded. Thinking that he could not see, she replied, "I see."
"Do you recognize what it is?"
"It should be the extinct Silver-rooted Sago Tree, right?" Sima Youyue probed.
"You're really knowledgeable!" Xuan Qiu laughed. He was not surprised that Sima Youyue could recognize the two small trees.
The Silver-rooted Sago Tree was used as a medicine by alchemists in ancient times. Its effects were not inferior to the Golden Snake Fruit. But for some reason, it gradually became extinct.
She did not expect Xuan Qiu to have two!
"These flowers are so beautiful! They must be delicious! "Little Seven drooled as she looked at the flowers.
"Although the flowers of the Silver-rooted Sago Tree can be used as medicine, its effects are not as great as the fruit. But ever since they were discovered, they only bloomed but did not bear fruit. "Xuan Qiu said regretfully.
"Why? Is it because you planted them in such a small pot? "
"Hehe." Xuan Qiu heard Little Seven's words and laughed softly. He shook his head and said, "Those two are space containers. The soil inside is definitely enough."
"Then why?" Little Seven was even more confused.
"Because their pollen did not spread." Sima Youyue said.
"What do you mean by 'not spreading'?" Little Seven had never blossomed before, so she didn't know what it was for.
Sima Youyue explained briefly and she immediately understood.
"So it is so troublesome for plants to bear fruit. But aren't there bees here? "Little Seven came to the side of the Silver-rooted Sago Tree and stretched out her hand to catch a bee.
Other than the one in her hand, there were a few more flying on the flowers.
"Normal bees are useless." Xuan Qiu said, "We have already found many types of bees to try."
Sima Youyue understood why he was looking for her.
"One of the reasons why I came to Cloud Sea City this time is to get the people from the Alchemist Guild to help us take a look. Song Chang Jie said that the Silver-rooted Sago Tree used to rely on the scarlet bees to spread their pollen. Later on, the number of scarlet bees decreased and the Silver-rooted Sago Tree gradually became extinct."
As expected!
When Sima Youyue heard about the scarlet bees, she was almost certain of his reason for looking for her. But how did he know that she had scarlet bees?
Then she thought about it. Since they met in the medicine garden, he would definitely send someone to check on her identity. It would not be difficult for him to know that she had used scarlet bees outside.
At least, for someone like him, it was not difficult.
Xuan Qiu looked at Sima Youyue and said, "Are you willing to help me?"
"As a condition to keep it a secret?" Sima Youyue raised her eyebrows.
Xuan Qiu shook his head, "As a friend's request."
"Friend?" Sima Youyue looked at him strangely.
With his status, would it be so easy for him to be friends with others?
"Why, do you despise me for being a handicapped person?" Xuan Qiu smiled and mocked himself.
"No, I don't. I just feel that your status should be very high. Why would someone like you be friends with a nobody like me? "Sima Youyue said.
"I said before, you smell very clean." Xuan Qiu said, "Just as you said, I have very few friends, but I like clean people."
"My hands are stained with blood. Don't you smell the blood? "Sima Youyue said.
"No." Xuan Qiu said, "So, are you willing to help me?"
Sima Youyue smiled and looked at the two Silver Rooted Sago Trees. With a thought, dozens of scarlet bees flew out.
Since he already knew that she had scarlet bees, there was no harm in helping him. Moreover, he had kept it a secret.
Those scarlet bees flew to the Silver Rooted Sago Trees and danced among the flowers.
"When the results are out, can you let me take a look?"
"Okay." Although Xuan Qiu could not see, he scanned with his divine sense and knew that those scarlet bees were collecting honey. His smile deepened. "It's a pity that I can't see, otherwise I would really want to see what they look like."
Sima Youyue thought for a while and said, "That, I am a doctor too, are you willing to let me take a look?"
Although she did not know his identity, it was better to be on good terms with someone that even the Alchemist Guild did not dare to offend.
