What? Immortal Powder?
The three of them looked at Lin Mengya at the same time with deep disbelief in their eyes.
"That's right. Xiu brought me the news of Immortal Powder."
Lin Mengya's lips curled up into a smile.
It was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance.
She was trapped in the Pavilion of Herbs, and countless people outside were eyeing her covetously.
Not to mention finding out the whereabouts of the Immortal Powder, as long as she stepped out of this courtyard, those people outside would stare at her like a swarm of lice.
Unfortunately, they never dreamed that Xiu would come to find her at this time.
"Could it be Dongfang Xu?"
Long Tianhao immediately understood what Lin Mengya meant. He frowned and voiced out his guess.
Lin Mengya gave him a reassuring look and nodded.
"That's right. Xiu said that someone once approached Dongfang Xu and wanted him to sell some excellent poppies here. Dongfang Xu refused, but that person didn't give up. Later, it was a junior of Dongfang Xu's nephew who did the business. I was thinking that if the poppies were grown here all year round, the purity of the poppies would definitely be affected. But it would be a different story if the poppies were from Lieyun. "
Lin Mengya's eyes sparkled. Although she looked unhurried on the surface, she still remembered all the hardships Long Tianhao had suffered.
However, she remembered all the sufferings that Long Tianyu had gone through in her heart.
Fortunately, the heavens had eyes, and now, it had delivered itself to his doorstep.
"Could it be that the reason why Xiu insisted on entering the Pavilion of Herbs was that …"
Finally, Zuo Qiuyu was quick-witted for once.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. It seemed that this guy was not stupid.
"That's right. She said that the person who received the goods was a disciple of the Pavilion of Herbs. Although her uncle Dongfang Xu did not do this kind of business, the trade of poppies was not prohibited in Lieyun. Therefore, her uncle's nephew didn't hide it from her. But all this was overheard by Xiu. She was afraid that her uncle would be put in a difficult position, so she came here under the guise of continuing the investigation. As for how she knew that I was interested, it was because the person mentioned me and Long Tianhao during the trade. "
Lin Mengya told him all the reasons in one breath.
The three of them also looked as if they were suddenly enlightened. Unexpectedly, the news that they had been searching for so long to no avail was actually brought to them by Xiu.
Truly, fate made a fool out of people.
"I can't believe he really colluded with the Pavilion of Herbs! That group of people actually dared to do such a thing. They are simply courting death! "
Zuo Qiuyu looked a little agitated. As a physician, he naturally abhorred such harmful things.
Moreover, this malignant tumor had made a living out of the Pavilion of Herbs in his utopia.
This made Zuo Qiuyu even more indignant.
Of course, Lin Mengya understood.
Lin Mengya patted Zuo Qiuyu's arm and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
"I also hate that thing. So, we will definitely find it and then completely uproot it. Don't worry, I'll help you. "
With Lin Mengya's promise, Zuo Qiuyu's mood improved a little.
After the four of them talked for a while, Xiu came out with a sweet smile on her face. Behind her, two people from the group of businessmen, who were dressed similarly, walked in with her luggage.
"Alright, you can send me off here. Go back and tell my uncle that I'll look for him in a few days. Tell him not to worry about me. Also, if my uncle asks about it, tell him that it's not easy to enter the Pavilion of Herbs and ask him not to come and fetch me personally. "
Although Xiu was mischievous and pure, she naturally had an air of superiority in front of her attendants who were much taller than her.
The two tall and burly attendants did not dare to talk back and only agreed obediently.
Although there was helplessness and awkwardness in their eyes, they seemed to be a little afraid of Xiu.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya felt a little curious.
Logically speaking, Xiu was only Dongfang Xu's niece, but this air of superiority was not something that she tried hard to fake.
On the contrary, it should be something that was naturally formed in life.
Could it be that Xiu's identity was not as simple as it seemed on the surface?
"Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Dongfang can rest assured that Miss Xiu is here with me."
Lin Mengya nodded slightly and the two attendants seemed to have seen their savior. They were just short of thanking Lin Mengya profusely.
"Thank you, Princess Anle. These belong to Miss Xiu. Where can we put them?"
Although the attendants looked like they were not to be trifled with, they were well-mannered.
Lin Mengya gestured to them that they could put them in her room. Immediately, the two attendants put down the things and left in a hurry.
Seeing them leave, Xiu could not help sticking out her tongue.
However, the moment she turned around, she met Lin Mengya's probing eyes.
She chuckled and took the initiative to put her arm around Lin Mengya's arm.
She said in a low voice, "Sister Princess, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Although his voice wasn't loud, it was enough for the other three people to hear him clearly.
Lin Mengya subconsciously glanced at Long Tianhao. Although his face was still as cold as ice, and he was calm and composed.
However, there was a flash of displeasure on his face.
How could a grown man like him argue with a little girl?
"Of course you can. Come here, I have something to tell you."
She held Xiu's hand and the two of them went to the usual room where Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao usually stayed.
The three men were left alone in the wind, each with their own thoughts.
Lin Mengya wanted to help Xiu put down the things, but when Xiu saw Lin Mengya's right hand, she felt it was inconvenient. She pressed Lin Mengya on the chair and refused to let her help.
"By the way, this is a gift I brought for you. I don't know if you like it."
Xiu smiled and stuffed a delicate white clay pot into Lin Mengya's hand.
A gift? Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment and then gently removed the lid of the small clay pot.
Eh? Why was it empty?
Just as Lin Mengya was feeling a little surprised, a faint but dizzying smell spread from the mouth of the jar.
"This is …"
It was just a smell, but Lin Mengya felt a little dizzy.
Xiu, who was packing up the things, suddenly patted her head. Before she could explain, she ran over, took out a silver knife from her waist, and cut Lin Mengya's finger.
A drop of delicate blood dripped from the small wound into the clay pot.
All of a sudden, Lin Mengya heard an almost inaudible squeaking sound.
She became clear-headed in a moment.
"What's in it?"
Lin Mengya, who was clear-headed, immediately stuffed the pot into Xiu's hands.
Xiu looked at her apologetically and said with some embarrassment,
"It's a kind of poisonous insect that is unique to our country. I wanted to give it to you for self-defense, but I forgot that it has to be fed with your blood in order to be harmless to you. I'm so sorry, Elder Sister. I … I'm just too excited. "
Poisonous insect? It could be used for self-defense?
Lin Mengya suddenly remembered that her teacher had once said that poisonous insects were everywhere in Lieyun.
Therefore, the subjects knew how to raise poisonous insects.
Xiu also said that she carried a lot of poisonous insects with her. However, this thing was a little strange. Even the Shen Nung system did not realize it until now.
However, it was not because of the system. It was just that her senses had become a little sluggish because of the burst of fragrance just now.
According to the system's analysis, the fragrance emitted by this living thing had a strong paralyzing effect.
Well, in terms of function, it was a living, inhalable anesthetic device.
"Come out and apologize to Elder Sister!"
Xiu saw that Lin Mengya did not seem to blame her.
She patted the body of the pot with her small hand, and then a pair of small black bean-like eyes appeared at the mouth of the pot.
Lin Mengya looked at the pot warily, thinking that it would be some centipede or something like that.
Unexpectedly, it was a small, round furball that was less than half the size of her palm.
This thing was snow-white, with a pair of round black bean-like eyes, and looked very cute.
"This is a fragrant insect produced in Lieyun. It's actually very obedient and timid. Usually, it likes to hide in this pot. However, after eating your blood, it will listen to your orders. As long as Elder Sister often brings it with her, her body will be soaked with the fragrance of the fragrant insect. Usually, there will only be a faint fragrance, and you don't even need to use fragrant powder. However, when you are afraid or nervous, the aroma will become stronger. At that time, not to mention a human, even a bull will fall in an instant. "
With great familiarity, Xiu picked up the cute fragrant bug from the jar. Then, she put it on Lin Mengya's hand.
In the beginning, the fragrant insect was a little scared. Even its body trembled a little.
However, when it smelled the blood on Lin Mengya's hand, it gradually calmed down.
The dense and soft fur felt good to the touch.
"This … well, thank you."
Although, this function was a little useless.
However, it might be able to save her life at a crucial moment.
Although this thing was cute, it was after all a poisonous insect. Lin Mengya just caressed it a few times, and then carefully put the fragrant insect into the white pot.
Xiu told her how to feed it. Fortunately, she only needed to feed it with blood once a month. Usually, this insect would eat some spices.
Lin Mengya thought for a while. Anyway, it was not difficult, and it was not troublesome.
According to Xiu's instructions, she put it on the dressing table, and the two of them began to talk.
