"So, your job is to gather second-rank herbs on the Herb Valley?" Yun Lintian asked while eating.
Ning Yue nodded and happily drank the porridge.
Looking at her carefree appearance, she obviously had no idea about her talent.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "I'll go with you."
"Ah?" Ning Yue was confused.
"For some reason, I cannot leave here for the time being. So, I will stay with you here during this period." Yun Lintian explained. "However, we must put on a disguise and conceal your voice recovery first."
"The poison Huang Yuchun used on me yesterday was called the Heart Eating Poison, and the pills Chen Xue gave us could only slow down its escalation. Coupled with my previous condition, I shouldn't be able to walk today."
"Hence, you should act as if you are desperate to find a herb to detoxify the poison today."
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said. "I had already checked the Herb Valley last night and saw a few of the Heart Nourishing Grass over there. Since I could think of this, Huang Yuchun should have also predicted that you would go there to find the grass."
Ning Yue's mouth opened slightly as she looked at Yun Lintian in astonishment. She couldn't understand that Yun Lintian seemed to know everything in just one night.
"He's likely to bully you but won't dare to harm you recklessly," Yun Lintian said further.
"Ouh?" Ning Yue tilted her head in confusion.
Yun Lintian asked. "Do you know why the three of them keep looking for you?"
Ning Yue frowned slightly and shook her head. She thought it was normal for an outer disciple like Huang Yuchun to treat her like a tool.
Yun Lintian didn't explain anything. He took the Twin Souls Flower out and asked. "Can you recognize this flower?"
Ning Yue looked at the flower and wrote something on the paper nearby.
Glancing at the paper, Yun Lintian clearly saw she had written the correct name of the Twin Souls Flower.
Yun Lintian took a sixth-rank magical plant out and asked. "What about this?"
Ning Yue stared at the plant for a while and gave the correct answer.
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Tell me. How did you know them?"
Ning Yue shook her head and explained that she could recognize the plants just like that as if the name popped up in her mind on its own.
Yun Lintian took another plant out. This time, it was a third-rank poisonous flower. "Hold it for me."
Ning Yue didn't think about it and reached out to grab the flower. She then looked at Yun Lintian in doubt, as she didn't know what he wanted to do.
Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian immediately came to a conclusion. Not only did Ning Yue recognize all the magical plants, but also immune to poison.
Yun Lintian took a deep look at her and said. "Now you know what kind of talent you have."
Ning Yue was taken aback momentarily, and her eyes gradually widened in astonishment.
Seeing this, Yun Lintian said further. "If I guess correctly, you should be able to recognize all the plants since you were young."
Ning Yue hurriedly nodded her head.
"This is your innate talent." Yun Lintian said faintly. "Huang Yuchun, Qin Weizhe, and Chen Xue obviously know about this. That's why they keep looking for you all this time."
Ning Yue was, in fact, very smart, but because she was inexperienced and lived her life as if she was resigning herself to the fate that made her failed to understand this in the past.
Moreover, she wasn't aware of her own talent in the past. It was almost impossible for her to make a guess about the intention of the three.
Now, listening to Yun Lintian, she fully understood everything. It was no wonder the three always forced her to pick higher rank herbs every day.
"They didn't tell anyone as well. It seems they want to keep it secret among themselves. So, you're unlikely to be sent to those higher-ups. At least, not now." Yun Lintian said calmly while pouring her a cup of honey milk.
Ning Yue nodded heavily while making gestures, indicating she understood what he meant.
Yun Lintian took a blue pendant out and handed it to her. "Hide this inside your robe, and don't lose it."
Ning Yue didn't ask anything. She accepted it and carefully put it inside her tattered robe.
Immediately, she felt a warm current envelop her entire being, giving her a sense of security.
"With this pendant, you don't have to worry about those three. At the same time, it can also conceal your aura and the fact that your vocal cords have recovered." Yun Lintian explained briefly.
As his voice fell, Ning Yue tried to utter a sound but discovered she couldn't.
"If you want to speak, you can touch the pendant with your hand," Yun Lintian said.
"Ah…Oh." Ning Yue touched the pendant and tried to speak.
"The rest depends on your acting ability." Yun Lintian smiled. "You can take this chance to train yourself because you will face a lot of this kind of situation in the future."
The pendant could block any attack from a Divine Foundation Realm expert, but Yun Lintian didn't want her to rely on it too much. Hence, he didn't tell her about it.
Ning Yue held the pendant tightly and nodded heavily. Her eyes were full of determination.
Yun Lintian waved his hand, and his appearance appeared to be the same as yesterday when he was poisoned and suffered a serious injury.
Although Ning Yue knew that Yun Lintian was powerful, she was still astonished by his magical power.
"Drink it before going out." Yun Lintian pushed the milk cup and laid on the plank bed like a cripple.
Ning Yue blinked a few times and carefully sipped the warm honey milk. An intoxicated expression appeared on her face as it was the first time she had such a delicious drink.
At the same time, she noticed a warm current flood into her body, nourishing her bones, organs, and muscles. Ning Yue immediately understood this milk wasn't an ordinary drink.
"There is plenty of it here. You can drink it later. However, with your current physique, you can only afford to drink one cup a day. Otherwise, the medicinal power will be too much for you." Yun Lintian said softly.
