Mu Ling 'er was a carefree and straightforward girl, but in front of Gu, she became a crybaby.
However, she was not the kind of troublesome woman who would cry endlessly. When she cried freely, she could immediately laugh.
She hurriedly grabbed Gu's arm, for fear that he would run away. "Qi Brother, I knew you would come to me."
Gu disliked her wet body and wanted to push her away, but Mu Ling 'er held him very tightly.
Gu glared at her. Mu Ling 'er raised her eyebrows and looked at him provocatively, as if she would never let go.
"Hehe, if I didn't find those two things, of course I would come to you." Gu sneered.
As soon as these words came out, Mu Ling 'er resentfully let go.
Qi Brother came to find the medicine, not to find her. She was very clear about this.
She seemed to be careless and careless, but in her heart, she saw things more clearly than anyone else. From the time they met, Qi Brother almost never came to her unless he needed something.
"If I don't find the medicine, will you never forgive me?" Mu Ling 'er asked seriously.
Qi Brother said that as long as she found the two medicine, he would forgive her for the Tiankeng incident.
Gu could stand this girl's pestering and her snot and tears, but he couldn't stand her serious look.
"Let's go, let's go and take shelter from the rain first. I have something to discuss with you."
In fact, Gu had been here for a long time. He had been searching in the Mu Family's medicinal herb storehouse for more than a month, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
There was really no place to take shelter from the rain. The two found a safe cave and the rain stopped.
Mu Ling 'er's clothes, hair, and shoes were all wet. As soon as she entered the cave, she soaked the ground. But she didn't care about anything and asked anxiously, "Qi Brother, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Gu was not anxious with her. He slowly wiped off the water droplets on his body and found a clean stone to sit on.
He poked his hand and said, "It's cold!"
Tsk tsk, this bad thing!
He only cared about himself. Didn't he see that Mu Ling'er, a little girl, was drenched?
If it were Han Yunxi today, this guy would have eagerly started a fire. He might even find a clean set of clothes for her in the rain.
He was not someone who did not know how to take care of others, but he just had to bully Mu Ling'er.
That was how matters of the heart were. Both parties were willing, and there was nothing to complain about.
Mu Ling'er was so cold that she was shivering. Her lips were completely pale. When she heard that Gu was cold, she hurriedly gathered all the dead leaves in the cave and asked Gu for a match to start a fire.
Without needing her to call him, Gu had already approached the fire and warmed himself up with a look of enjoyment.
"Qi Brother, what do you want to say?" Mu Ling'er was very curious.
"Can you strive to find those two medicinal herbs within half a year?" Gu was still talking about the medicinal herbs.
"Half a year?" Mu Ling'er was suspicious. "What are these things for? Is someone poisoned? Will the poison take effect in half a year? "
"Why do you care so much? Just tell me whether or not I can, "Gu Qishao grew unhappy.
"If I'm happy, then I can. If I'm not happy … then I can't!" Mu Ling'er also had a temper.
Gu squinted his eyes and smiled with interest. "Aiyo, little girl, you know how to throw a tantrum with me?"
Mu Ling'er looked at him arrogantly and did not say a word.
Gu suddenly approached and lifted Mu Ling'er's chin. He whispered mischievously, "What do I have to do to make you happy?"
An evil aura rushed towards her. His beautiful face was right in front of her eyes. Mu Ling'er's heart was beating wildly. Even though she knew that Qi Brother was just joking, she still could not help but indulge in it.
Her heart was infatuated, and so was her person.
"As long as Qi Brother is happy, Ling'er will be happy." Her voice was as gentle as spring water.
She was as beautiful as spring. Unfortunately, Gu could not see it. He immediately let go and said excitedly, "Ling'er, are you really confident?"
Good things were always short-lived. Ignoring the disappointment in her heart, Mu Ling'er was still arrogant. She raised her chin and said, "The Panoptic Red Lotus is in these three mountains. As for the Bear River … it's actually in …"
Before Mu Ling'er could finish speaking, she heard the sound of wind breaking from outside the cave.
The two of them turned their heads to avoid it. Soon, a familiar voice was heard. "Mu Ling'er, come out. I know you're inside!"
Wasn't this voice the Mu Family's eldest young master, Mu Chaoran? How did he find this place?
One had to know that Mu Chaoran was not only Mu Yingdong's eldest son, but also the eldest son of the first wife. His status was very noble, and it could be said that he was the most legitimate successor of the Mu Family.
Unfortunately, his pharmaceutical skills were far inferior to Mu Ling'er's, the daughter of a concubine.
In the end, a medicinal family was not a royal family. In such a family, ability was the most important, and birth was secondary.
Mu Ling'er was Mu Yingdong's designated successor.
Mu Chaoran had long disliked Mu Ling'er. In the past, he couldn't cause trouble for Mu Ling'er because of Mu Yingdong. Now that Mu Ling'er was involved in such a big matter, how could Mu Chaoran let go of such a good opportunity?
Ever since the entire Medicine City was attacking Mu Ling'er because of the empress dowager's birthday banquet, Mu Chaoran hadn't been idle. He had been looking for Mu Ling'er the entire time.
It was a coincidence that they ran into each other today.
Mu Ling'er was sick and tired of her brothers and sisters, especially this eldest brother of hers.
In the past, she would've treated any provocation as a dog barking. But now that she had a case, it would be troublesome if Mu Chaoran exposed her whereabouts.
Mu Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qi Brother, go away first. I'll discuss this with him."
As she spoke, the person outside impatiently shouted, "Mu Ling'er, if you don't come out, I'll go tell Mother right away!"
If he told Father, he would probably cover up for this brat again. But if he told Mother, Mother would definitely make a big deal out of it. Even Father wouldn't be able to handle it.
Gu didn't say a word and hid behind a large rock.
Mu Chaoran was still talking nonsense here, which meant that he wouldn't really tell the Mu Clan's matriarch. He must have something to ask of Mu Ling'er.
Seeing that Gu had hidden himself, Mu Ling'er walked out confidently. She stopped at the cave entrance and saw Mu Chaoran standing alone outside.
"If you have something to say, then say it!" Mu Ling'er said Cold.
"A wild child without a mother, this is the kind of upbringing you have!" Mu Chaoran spat.
Mu Ling'er narrowed her eyes. "What do you want?"
"I want your thirty medicinal notes, not a single one less. Otherwise …" Mu Chaoran was very direct.
Mu Ling'er sucked in a breath of cold air. "You're robbing me!"
The medicinal notes were Mu Ling'er's treasure. It was the essence of what she had learned since she was young. There were also many of her secret recipes recorded inside!
This thing was priceless, let alone thirty of them.
"You're just going to treat it as being robbed?" Mu Chaoran shrugged, looking like he had no other choice.
"What if I don't give it to you?" Mu Ling'er asked Cold.
"Hehe, it's fine if you don't give it to me! Either I go tell Mother now, or … "Mu Chaoran thought for a moment and smiled." Alright, you're still my little sister. I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and admit that your medicinal skills are inferior to mine and I'll treat it as if I didn't meet you today and didn't see you bringing outsiders into the medicinal herb storage. "
He was going too far and was taking advantage of the situation!
Mu Chaoran was actually here to bully people today!
If he told Mother about this matter and let Mother make a big fuss, Father would still be unhappy in the end. Mother and son wouldn't get any benefits.
Even if he couldn't do anything to Mu Ling'er, he could at least humiliate her once and kill her spirit!
Mu Ling'er's hands clenched tightly as her heart violently heaved up and down. She had always been giving in and hiding, but this group of people still couldn't tolerate her.
It was said that the heavens were jealous of geniuses, but it should be people who were jealous of geniuses!
"What if I don't?" Mu Ling'er asked Cold again.
Who knew that the moment her voice fell, Mu Chaoran shouted, "Someone come … come …"
"You shut up!"
Mu Ling'er was anxious. The entire Mu family, except for Father, wanted to hand her over to the Medical Herbs Association! At this juncture, she couldn't afford to gamble or make a fuss. She had to find the medicine.
"What, have you thought it through?" Mu Chaoran smiled very cockily.
Mu Ling'er clenched her teeth tightly. She didn't want to agree, but …
"This Young Master's patience is limited!" Mu Chaoran urged.
Mu Ling'er stared at him and almost knelt down. At this time, a red figure suddenly flew out from the cave.
Gu's speed was very fast. Before Mu Chaoran could see his appearance, he had already landed behind Mu Chaoran. His well-maintained white and gentle hand suddenly grabbed Mu Chaoran's neck.
"Don't kill him!" Mu Ling'er was anxious.
There were many cases of brothers killing each other in the Mu family, but she didn't want her hands to be stained with this kind of blood. Otherwise, she would have already asked Qi Brother to silence Mu Chaoran and save herself a lot of trouble.
Gu's lips curled into a sneer. He ignored Mu Ling'er's obstruction and slowly pierced his fingernails into Mu Chaoran's neck.
"No! I didn't see anything! "Mu Chaoran was frightened.
But soon, he couldn't make a sound. Blood flowed out and his throat hurt like needles. When he spoke, the pain was unbearable.
"I'm the only one who can bully this girl. Remember this."
Gu's voice was so low that it sounded like it came from hell. He had always bullied Mu Ling'er, but he was so overbearing that he didn't allow others to bully her.
Bullying was also a kind of special privilege.
Mu Chaoran was so scared that his whole body trembled. He looked at Mu Ling'er for help.
Mu Ling'er didn't hear Gu's words just now. She was also frightened, "Qi Brother, he's my brother after all!"
Gu threw him to the side and coldly said, "If you dare to say anything about today's matter, I'll give it a try!"
Mu Chaoran was also a martial artist, so he was very clear about the weight of this threat.
"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!" He almost rolled and crawled to escape.
Mu Ling'er finally let out a sigh of relief, "Qi Brother is still the smart one. With a little threat, he won't dare to do anything for at least half a year."
Half a year. As long as she could help Qi Brother find those two ingredients, she didn't care about the sanctions of the Medical Materials Association. In any case, if she wanted to continue living in Medicine City, she wouldn't be able to escape in this lifetime.
Gu slowly wiped his hands clean and asked, "Who did you say had the Bear chuan?"
