Chapter 16: Little Fairy Doctor's Admiration!
Gu Fei hadn't wasted his time while strolling through the streets earlier. He had visited a teahouse where he gathered some information he was interested in. The mercenaries there were quite friendly. Gu Fei merely started a conversation, and they eagerly contributed their thoughts one by one.
As Gu Fei leisurely sipped his tea, he quickly learned everything he wanted to know. With a smile, he complimented the mercenaries, saying that guarding Qingshan Town must be quite challenging, and he treated them to tea. The mercenaries were touched by his kindness and freely shared even more information.

Although these tiny emotional values meant little to Gu Fei, the intelligence he obtained was invaluable. The presence of the Blood Lotus Essence confirmed his suspicions. The Blood Lotus Essence had not yet been taken by Xiao Yan and remained in the Ten Thousand Medicine House. This, along with other clues, indicated that Xiao Yan had not yet reached the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
As Gu Fei pondered Xiao Yan's current whereabouts, Little Fairy Doctor spoke again, her voice soft and clear.
"Young Master, if you don't mind, in three days, you can join us in gathering herbs in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Though a bit shy, she was determined to invite this reliable alchemist, racking her brain for reasons to persuade him.... The Magical Beast Mountain Range is rich in herbs. If Ten Thousand Medicine House doesn't have the materials you need, the mountains surely will!"
Gu Fei considered for a moment, and under Little Fairy Doctor's anxious gaze, he slowly nodded.
"Very well..."
His agreement brought a look of joy to Little Fairy Doctor's face.

Once the dishes were cleared, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated before picking up her medical books and approaching Gu Fei. Normally, she would confidently ask an alchemist for guidance, but for some reason, she felt a bit shy around this young nobleman.

Seeing her reluctance, Gu Fei stood up and took the books from her, making her pause slightly. He opened to a page marked with a carefully placed bookmark, noticing her elegant
handwriting. A smile curved his lips.
"Is there a question here?" Gu Fei asked casually, without looking at her.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded quietly, her voice soft.
"Combining this herb with Lively Fruit can worsen side effects for patients, and in severe cases, cause rejection reactions. Previously..."
Gu Fei offered his advice freely. After just a few words, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes grew more focused, nodding continuously. His brief explanation made her feel as though she had learned
a great deal.

She looked up and sneaked a glance at Gu Fei's profile. He was explaining the medical theory
with intense focus.

As the system's notification sounded, Gu Fei quietly smirked before continuing his explanation. Under the moonlight, their shadows intertwined, creating a scene of subtle
beauty.
