After she entered the room, the four people in the courtyard quickly gathered together. From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing something …
On the other hand, Xi Mengdie had someone prepare a sedan chair and headed towards the He Residence.
Unsurprisingly, her sedan chair was also stopped at the entrance of the He Residence. She quickly walked up the steps and whispered a few words to the servant guarding the door. After a while, a steward arrived at the entrance and looked at her from head to toe. "Not bad, this person is indeed the first person to receive Master's acupuncture. Let her in."
Xi Mengdie was overjoyed and hurriedly lifted her skirt to enter the He Residence. When Hong Yu, who was behind her, wanted to follow in, she was stopped.
"She can go in alone. All of you wait outside." His attitude was rude and unreasonable and did not show the slightest bit of respect.
In the main hall, Doctor He was playing with a few silver needles. When he saw a figure enter, he only lazily glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His voice was cold. "According to the rules, when you see me, you must have something that can attract me. Otherwise …"
He lightly snorted twice and did not say anything, but a deep chill was revealed.
Xi Mengdie took two deep breaths. Her eyes flashed with a struggle. One of her hands reached into her sleeve, but for a long time, she could not take it out.
"Can't bear to? Then you can go. "As if he saw her hesitation, Doctor He lazily said again.
"Since I'm here, I've already thought about it. But you must do what you promised me." She gritted her teeth and stretched out her right hand from her left and right sleeves.
A long piece of emerald jade shone faintly under the refraction of the sunlight and hit Apothecary He squarely in the face.
He then turned his head and a trace of ecstasy flashed across his eyes. After throwing away the silver needle in his hand, he jumped in front of Xi Mengdie like a rabbit and grabbed it. He then lovingly examined it.
However, in a short moment, his face instantly became extremely ugly. The gaze he looked at Xi Mengdie with was full of anger.
He waved his hand and with a clatter, the jade in his hand was fiercely thrown to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"You dare to lie to me?" His eyes spat out two balls of anger, and he suddenly shouted, "Men, catch her for me. She dared to lie to me, according to the rules, beat her …"
Xi Mengdie's expression changed again and again. At first, she was very pleased with herself, thinking that she had fooled him. However, when he threw the jade, she became very worried. Now that she heard Doctor He's heartless order, her little face was filled with fear.
"Doctor He, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to lie to you. I just took the wrong jade, wrong …"
Doctor He himself did not have much fighting power, but as an alchemist, he had a bunch of experts who were willing to become his bodyguards.
This was the benefit of being an alchemist. As a rare species, they might not be fully protected, but they were extremely united. Especially in a small place like Bei 'an City, where one might not be able to buy medicinal pills even if they had the money. Even the City Lord would treat a fourth-grade alchemist as a treasure.
Seeing that no less than ten cultivators rushed over at his call, how could she remain calm?
