The next day, as the faint light of dawn enveloped a layer of mist, Jiu Mu Li suddenly opened her eyes. She had been tossing and turning the entire night, unable to sleep at all.
She yawned lazily and was about to get up to wash up when Bai Qing ran into the room in a hurry. There was not a trace of a smile on her silver platter of face.
"This servant heard from the good palace maid that the Miss Nangong was about to become the Qin Wang's Opening the Profound Vein! Everything was ready last night. " Bai Qing gritted her teeth, but in the end, she was still unable to hold it in and blurted out all the news in one breath.
He had finished preparing last night, which was after she had rejected being Qin Zheng's woman, he had gone to find Nan Gong Xue Ji. How could this man be so impulsive!
The probability of success was too low with Nan Gong Xue Ji's method, she definitely could not allow herself to waste the last few days of effort that she had spent on him. )
This was just repaying the debt of gratitude. She silently told herself in her heart, and then a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Qing Mu Hall? Wait for me.
After dressing up, Jiu Mu Li was dressed in a black robe and her black hair fell down her body like a waterfall. Accompanying Bai Qing in guiding the way, she headed straight for the Qing Mu Hall.
From afar, he saw the Director Chen guarding the door. Jiu Mu Li's brows twitched, and casually walked over, each step becoming a lotus flower, swaying in the wind.
"Why is the Ninth Miss here?" Director Chen panicked. He had witnessed Nan Gong Xue Ji's entire plan so he naturally knew what was going on in the Qing Mu Hall right now. He was even more determined to not let anyone into it.
In the Your Highness's heart, this Ninth Miss definitely had a place to play. Moreover, now that the Your Highness knew that she was pregnant, he had to take care of her more meticulously, like she was a glass doll.
Jiu Mu Li's indifferent eyes swept across the sweat on his forehead and the stiff smile on his face. However, I am not here to destroy, I have some attainments in the matter of Opening the Profound Vein, I am just curious, what method did Miss Nangong choose in the end? "
Hearing that her tone was not intense but was instead full of wisdom, Director Chen was relieved and wiped away his sweat while replying with a smile, "Miss Nangong has changed her traditional Opening the Profound Vein technique this time. She does not need to draw lightning into her body nor absorb the spirit energy from the medicinal ingredients, she only needs to soak in the medicinal bath once and the spirit energy in the crushed medicinal ingredients will blend with the hot water, and will naturally be absorbed into her body."
Medicine bath? Familiar words came to Jiu Mu Li's mind as her eyes trembled. She had already thought about this idea long ago, so she meticulously recorded the steps on a piece of paper. The paper was so sleepy that she stuffed it under her pillow … …
Damn it! No wonder the paper under her pillow was missing!
She had never believed that there could be so many coincidences in the world. She wanted to see whether or not Nan Gong Xue Ji was as shameless as she had expected and once again broke through a new realm!
After giving Bai Qing a look so that she could entangle the Director Chen, Jiu Mu Li walked towards the hall with big strides.
The first thing that came to him was an especially moist and dense water vapor. The air was filled with dense water vapor and white smoke. Stepping over the carved warm jade floor, a warm feeling spread to his limbs and bones from the tip of his feet.
In front of him was a pool that could be said to be huge. In the mist, a man and a woman could be vaguely seen.
Inadvertently, Jiu Mu Li bit her lower lip as she slowly walked closer. As she did so, what entered her eyes was such a lively and fragrant scene.
What a perfect pair!
Jiu Mu Li revealed a cold sneer. After a glance, she had already determined that Nan Gong Xue Ji was currently using the exact same method that she had written on the paper. The so called successor of the Fairy Doctor was just a plagiarist who had stolen the ideas of others.
Her originally unfriendly gaze added a few traces of a mocking smile.
Qin Zheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, felt a chill down his spine and turned his head as if he had sensed something. Not far behind him, the black-robed young girl's face was as white as a flower. A strange sneer could be seen at the corner of his mouth as a cold intent emanated from his entire body.
"Listen to my explanation!" Without thinking, he blurted out.
Hearing that, Nan Gong Xue Ji who was about to throw in the herbs, suddenly turned back and her hand froze in mid air.
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. And the panic and helplessness on Qin Zheng's and Nan Gong Xue Ji's face, was reflected in her eyes, was especially sarcastic.
Jiu Mu Li suddenly had a feeling that she was being plotted against. The smile on her face grew wider as it congealed into a sneer.
With that, Nan Gong Xue Ji's face changed. Naturally, she knew that the original owner had caught her stealing the idea.
As a disciple of the Fairy Doctor, she adopted Jiu Mu Li's thoughts as a form of assurance towards Jiu Mu Li. Jiu Mu Li was just too inconsiderate!
Jiu Mu Li once again turned her gaze to Qin Zheng, and shook her head indifferently, "No need to explain. I have eyes, I can see. Furthermore, I am not your woman, so why are you explaining this to me? "
The fire in Qin Zheng's eyes started to burn. This woman understood him too well.
Seeing the man and woman in front of him gritting their teeth, Jiu Mu Li smiled, "I brought back the medicinal ingredients, what's wrong with watching by the side?"
She risked her life to return the Purgatory flower of seven colors! Naturally, she had the right to watch from the sidelines.
Jiu Mu Li indifferently glanced at the pile of herbs on the ground.
However...
She focused her gaze. Beside the Purgatory flower of seven colors, there was actually a purplish-red herb placed next to it. That was not on her paper!
Thinking about it, it should be a medicinal ingredient that Nan Gong Xue Ji added himself.
