Mu Ling 'er had been embarrassed that Han Yunxi had saved her. Now that she heard Han Yunxi's words, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Who told you to save her? Meddling in other people's business!"
Han Yunxi had more important matters to attend to, so she couldn't be bothered to argue with her. But Mu Ling 'er once again blocked the carriage's path and refused to let them go.
Gu Qi Sha silently picked up the hidden dart in his hand and began to play with his bony fingers. He didn't seem to be in a rush to leave either.
But Long Fei Ye's patience was limited. He ordered the driver in a low voice, "Why aren't you leaving yet?!"
His angry voice was loud enough for Mu Ling 'er to hear. She had always feared Long Fei Ye from the bottom of her heart, so she grew anxious. "Wait a minute, Han Yunxi. I only want to ask you one thing!"
"I'll say it one last time. We weren't the ones who imprisoned Mute Granny!" Han Yunxi grew angry as well.
Mu Ling 'er stared at her for a long time before saying faintly, "Do you know where my Qi Brother is?"
She couldn't even afford to pay for her room, so she came to the mountains to pick medicinal herbs. She hoped that she could find some herbs to exchange for some money at the medicine hall. Who would have thought that not only would she not find any valuable herbs, but she would also encounter some bandits.
Although there were wild medicinal ingredients everywhere, they weren't worth much. A whole basket of them wasn't even enough to pay for half a day's rent. After all, the inn she was staying at was the most expensive in Tianning's capital city.
Leaving aside the silver, her father had sent her two letters yesterday and the day before yesterday, both urging her to go home. His attitude was much tougher than before. If Qi Brother still didn't show up, she wouldn't know what to do.
She had steeled her heart to run away from home and wander the world, but the person who was supposed to accompany her still hadn't shown up.
When Han Yunxi saw the disappointment in Mu Ling 'er's eyes, she felt a pang of heartache. She even wondered if her brain had gone haywire. Why was she suddenly feeling sorry for this naughty girl who'd pushed her and cursed her?
Well, she was also looking for Gu! Only the heavens knew where that demon had run off to.
"Your Qi Brother is not familiar with me. You asked the wrong person," Han Yunxi said angrily.
Gu Qi Sha's fingers stiffened when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and turned his head away, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.
Mu Ling 'er was angry. "Qi Brother is so good to you, and you say you don't know him well! How can you do this? "
Han Yunxi felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't dare to imagine Long Fei Ye's expression. This stinky girl was simply looking for trouble with Gu!
Gu Qishao had treated her rather well, but not as well as Mu Linger's so-called "good." He'd been flippant as soon as they met and spouted frivolous lies. Leaving aside a married woman like her, he couldn't even treat an unmarried woman like this!
"I really don't know him well, and I don't know where he is! Get out of my way! "Han Yunxi said bluntly.
Mu Ling 'er suddenly wanted to tell Han Yunxi that Qi Brother was the one who first became suspicious about Mute Granny. However, she felt that it was inappropriate and could only helplessly back away.
Han Yunxi was about to return to the carriage when she suddenly stopped and said provocatively, "Mu Ling 'er, I heard that you are the most talented pharmacist in the history of Medicine City. Do you dare to challenge my Pill Fiend Pharmacy?"
Challenge?
Inside the carriage, Long Feiye and Gu Qi Sha were both puzzled. What's the challenge?
However, Mu Ling 'er's main point was the word "dare". Her biggest weakness was that she couldn't stand being provoked.
"What do you want to challenge? Just say it!" she proudly replied.
Han Yunxi was secretly delighted. She originally wanted to find Gu to persuade this girl to come to Pill Fiend Pharmacy, but it seemed that today's situation was better than waiting for Gu to come knocking on her door. She might as well find Mu Ling 'er herself.
If she had directly brought this up with Mu Ling 'er, the girl might have rejected her and even insulted her. However, the result would be different if she provoked her.
Han Yunxi pretended to be disdainful. "Your skills are only so-so, but your tone is quite big!"
Mu Ling 'er immediately became angry. "Han Yunxi, you just want me to challenge you. You haven't even seen me make medicine, so what right do you have to judge me so casually?"
Mu Ling 'er wasn't arrogant, but she hated this kind of slander.
"Alright, alright. Then on the next opening day of Pill Fiend Pharmacy, come and challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend and let me see …"
Everyone present was stunned by Han Yunxi's words, but she continued with a smile, "If you win, you can name any conditions you want. If you lose … Haha, you can name any conditions you want. In any case, I just want to see it for myself. "
"What? You want me to challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend? "Mu Ling 'er finally caught the crux of the matter.
Inside the carriage, Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a beautiful smile, but Gu Qi Sha couldn't help but snicker.
Han Yunxi, oh Han Yunxi, you really are the worst!
Mu Ling 'er was a genius pharmacist in Medicine City. Her talent was extraordinary, and her future was limitless. However, she couldn't be compared to Gu Qi Sha!
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Qi Sha was expelled from Medical City and had a bad reputation for hoarding medicine and not selling it, he would've been revered as a grandmaster long ago.
"Yes, I want to challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend." Han Yunxi was quite serious.
Mu Ling 'er was about to speak when Gu Qi Sha laughed even louder. "Haha, you have guts! This daddy likes it! Girl, up until now, aside from Han Yunxi, no one has dared to challenge this daddy. You're the only one! "
Mu Ling 'er wanted to cry, but no tears came out. How did things turn out like this? No matter how arrogant she was, she still wouldn't dare to challenge His Excellency Pill Fiend!
If news of this got out, no one would admire her courage. They would only laugh at her for overestimating herself.
Seeing Mu Ling 'er's awkward expression, Han Yunxi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "His Excellency Pill Fiend, I think we should just forget about it. This joke has gone too far!"
"Joke? This daddy thinks she's serious! Hmph, how boring! "Gu Qi Sha was even more disdainful.
The words grated on Mu Linger's ears. She didn't know where she found the courage to agree. "Alright! I'll definitely go! "
Losing wasn't shameful, but not daring to go was the most shameful thing.
"Alright, we'll wait!" Han Yunxi was overjoyed.
Mu Ling 'er was finally willing to open the way. Only after Han Yunxi had entered the carriage did she say, "Han Yunxi, if you see Qi Brother … please pass a message to him. Tell him that I'm looking for him!"
Han Yunxi originally didn't plan to reply, but in the end, she couldn't bear to and replied, "Alright!"
She sighed inwardly. She didn't know if Mu Ling 'er falling for Gu was a blessing or a curse. Was it fate or a debt? Was it right or wrong?
When it came to feelings, everyone was willing. How could there be such a thing as right or wrong?
The carriage gradually moved further and further away, gradually picking up speed.
Long Fei Ye picked up the scroll again. However, not long after, he asked, "I heard from the hidden guards that Gu came to the residence to look for you?"
Han Yunxi was shocked. Sure enough, nothing in the residence could escape this guy's eyes.
"Yes, he's a guest." She admitted honestly.
Unexpectedly, Long Fei Ye didn't get angry. He asked again, "Why did he look for you?"
Han Yunxi was puzzled. Long Fei Ye had previously warned that if he saw her hanging out with Gu again, he would break Gu's legs.
Judging from the current situation, this guy seemed to have forgotten what he said.
Still, "She's hanging out with Gu Qishao" and "Gu Qishao's a guest" were two different things. They couldn't be lumped together. Han Yunxi was wishful thinking on her part. Long Feiye was probably quite reasonable in this regard.
Thus, she answered honestly, "Send something …"
Although Long Fei Ye didn't get angry, he kept asking questions.
"What is it?"
Han Yunxi smiled, "It's a lobster. That guy probably went to Yuzhou Island too."
"Did you accept it?"
"No …" Han Yunxi actually wanted to say that her stomach still twitched when she heard about lobster.
"That's it?"
"He also sent a can of tea leaves, Red South Mountain."
"Is it authentic?"
"I don't know."
"Heavenly Fragrance Teahouse has been closed for almost two years. Where did he get Red South Mountain?"
"He has tea seeds. He said he planted them somewhere else."
Long Fei Ye nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "Why did he send you lobster and tea leaves for no reason?"
According to Gu, the lobster was to nourish her body. As for the tea leaves, it was purely a misunderstanding!
How should Han Yunxi answer this question?
"One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions! It turns out that he has something to ask of Your Highness, so he came to curry favor with me! I didn't accept the lobster and Red South Mountain! "
Han Yunxi was obviously saying nice things and saying careless words, but she knew clearly in her heart.
After all, she was a woman. She still had the sensitivity that a woman should have. Therefore, she always rejected Gu and never accepted anything that Gu gave her.
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi. His eyes were as dark as midnight, as if he could see through her.
Han Yunxi really didn't like to discuss this with Long Fei Ye. It was awkward and awkward no matter how she said it.
Fortunately, Long Fei Ye didn't ask any more questions. He stretched out his big hand and pulled Han Yunxi into his arms. Holding her, he continued to read his book.
Han Yunxi decided to sleep. When they arrived at the black market, who knew if she would still be able to sleep?
Not long after, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Thunder rumbled and the wind blew, followed by rain.
No matter how fast the four-wheeled carriage traveled, it was still very stable. Han Yunxi snuggled up in Long Fei Ye's arms. Surrounded by his unique scent and sense of security, she slept very soundly. Let alone a storm, even if the sky collapsed, she wouldn't be disturbed.
Long Fei Ye's gaze had unknowingly shifted from his book to Han Yunxi's face. He silently looked at her for a while before unconsciously putting down his book. He gently lifted her scattered hair and carefully tucked her bangs away, then quietly planted a kiss on her forehead.
Inside the carriage, it was quiet and warm. Outside, the wind and rain were getting heavier. Gu Qi Sha, who was chasing after them on horseback, had long been drenched.
He and his horse were both faster than Long Fei Ye's carriage. Moreover, he could find a place to hide from the rain and chase after Long Fei Ye after the rain passed. It wasn't as if he didn't know the way to the black market.
However, he didn't speed up or change his route. He continued to follow behind the carriage, allowing the rain to soak him thoroughly.
The rain became heavier and heavier. The distant figure seemed to be washed away by the rain and gradually became blurry. However, no matter how heavy the rain was, it could never wash away the stubbornness and persistence of that figure.
After the rain stopped, it was already late at night.
Han Yunxi groggily woke up and glanced at Long Fei Ye. Seeing that he was leaning against a high pillow, she didn't dare to move. However, Long Fei Ye sensed that she was awake. He glanced at her and changed his position to make her more comfortable before closing his eyes and continuing to sleep.
'Is this how it feels to sleep together?'
Han Yunxi suddenly wished that the sky would never brighten.
Of course, the sky would eventually brighten. After that, they would arrive at the black market!
