"Mistress, this is …?"

At first, Ya Er did not understand why the bamboo part of the huge basket turned into a hollow bamboo box in Liu Xinyue's hands.

But very quickly, when he looked inside the bamboo box, Ya Er understood everything.

He saw that the bamboo box was actually not hollow, but because it was rather deep that Ya Er would mistake it for hollow when he looked at it.

And now, in this bamboo box, there was a portion of medicinal herbs lying quietly on the ground — — wolfberry.

"Mistress, it's medlar!"

Seeing the wolfberry herbs in the bamboo box, Ya Er was so excited that his whole body started to tremble, but luckily he could not speak, as he had told Liu Xinyue everything through the sub Gu.

Otherwise, with his current state, he would definitely attract the attention of the people around him.

"Yes, medlar."

Although Liu Xinyue had vaguely guessed that the herbs were inside, he had not expected that he would have found the medlar first.

After all, this medlar required two kinds of antidotes, so he needed two portions of medicinal ingredients to detoxify it.

However, there was only one portion of medlar in the bamboo box.

However, Liu Xinyue could not care that much, he took out the medlar from the bamboo box and placed it in his pocket, and then quickly returned the bamboo box back into the huge basket.

After carefully inspecting and discovering that there were no mistakes, Liu Xinyue and Ya Er prepared to continue searching all over for similar bamboo boxes.

After seeing Liu Xinyue's series of actions, the state advisor who was seated in front could not help but reveal an admiring gaze. After all, when everyone was surrounding the small door, only Liu Xinyue had a different path to take and was able to use his brain.

"Shopkeeper, did you design this basket?"

state advisor's sudden voice gave the shopkeeper a fright. After understanding the contents of the other party's words, he immediately bowed and answered respectfully.

"Back to the state advisor, it was personally designed by this humble one."

The shopkeeper was a bit confused, but he didn't dare to hide anything.

"Could it be that you revealed it to the Dr. Huo in advance?"

After that, state advisor's words gave the shopkeeper quite a fright.

What did he mean by revealing it in advance? Could it be that the state advisor suspected that they were colluding to cheat?

This was a heinous crime!

"Please spare my life state advisor, this lowly one has absolutely not been exposed by Dr. Huo in advance, the props for this competition were only barely completed yesterday!"

The shopkeeper was scared to the point that his forehead was sweating. He hurriedly started to explain, "Only the small ones and those designers know about this basket. Those designers were still closed in the workshop from the beginning. They definitely didn't go out!"

"Please enlighten me, state advisor!"

"Manager, no need to be so nervous. I was just casually saying it."

Seeing the shopkeeper's reaction, state advisor understood that he and Liu Xinyue had not colluded with him. As a result, he was more satisfied and admired Liu Xinyue.

"If what you said is true, then Dr. Huo is quite smart."

Hearing state advisor's words, the shopkeeper finally understood. Was it to praise Dr. Huo?

This really scared him to death …

Leng Xin, who was standing to the side, did not have the same reaction as before. She lowered her head and kept silent, not knowing what to think.

At this time, just as Liu Xinyue was putting away the bamboo box and turning his head to look for his next target, he suddenly realised that there was someone walking towards them.

It would be fine if it was just some unconscious person wandering around, but Liu Xinyue could tell at a glance that he was here for them.

"Who are you? "Why are you following me?!"

Liu Xinyue was very sure that she didn't recognize the young man in front of her, so she decided to make the first move and interrogate him.

"Did Dr. Huo misunderstand something?"

Yuanzi did not expect Liu Xinyue to turn around at this moment. He was originally happy that he had found the other party.

However, since the other party had discovered him, he would not do nothing and allow him to 'slander' him like this.

"I'm just taking a walk around."

After pausing for a moment, Yuan Zi smiled and slowly said to Liu Xinyue, "I just didn't expect to meet Dr. Huo here."

"Is that so?"

Although Liu Xinyue was also from the Appearance Association, he would definitely not believe a person's words just because he was good-looking.

"If it really is such a coincidence, that would be great. But I remember …"

Liu Xinyue smiled back at Yuanzi and asked without batting an eyelid, "You must be one of the few people by Boss He's side right?"

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. I saw it all before."

Seeing that his identity was exposed, as if he wanted to speak up and defend himself, Liu Xinyue anxiously raised his hand to stop him.

"Since you're one of the few people by Boss He's side, then why didn't you come here to help your Master find medicinal herbs instead of helping him?"

"I did not expect that Dr. Huo would recognize me, but since that is the case …"

Hearing Liu Xinyue's questions, Yuanzi did not immediately get questioned. Instead, he calmly and easily continued, "Then, I will not hide this from the Dr. Huo."

"Actually, my master told me to come here. Oh, no, actually, I was just looking around to see if I could find something."

"Since it's Boss He's idea, then take your time to read on. We'll be leaving first."

Hearing that, Liu Xinyue did not expose the loopholes in Yuan Zi's words, but shrugged his shoulders and ignored him. He brought Ya Er and prepared to leave via Yuan Zi.

However, Liu Xinyue did not expect that when she, Ya Er and Yuan Zi were about to pass by each other, the other party would actually reach out and stop them.

This made Liu Xinyue unhappy.

"What is it? Is there anything else you need? "

Liu Xinyue looked at Yuanzi and asked coldly.

"Dr. Huo has misunderstood. Actually, this one has nothing to do."

Seeing Liu Xinyue's sullen expression, Yuanzi was not afraid. Instead, he smiled and said slowly, "Actually, the main reason is because I admired Dr. Huo's medical skills so much."

"So now that we have come into contact with the Dr. Huo at such a close distance, I can't help but want to have a casual chat with you."

"Talking freely?"

Liu Xinyue looked at Yuanzi in shock. She used an expression that seemed like she was looking at an idiot to look at him from head to toe, until he could not help but frown before she retracted her gaze.

After that, Liu Xinyue scoffed, and could not help but say: "I do not care if you are He Ming's disciple, I just want to say that this is a competition, why are you still here to talk casually?"

"Are you stupid?!"

Pausing for a moment, Liu Xinyue then added, "Oh, if you don't know the meaning of 'brainless', let me explain."

"That means there's something wrong with your head!"
