The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184: Medicinal Garden

Some people looked over from time to time as if they had recognized Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue completely ignored them as she focused on finding the herbs she needed. After surveying her surroundings, she found one of them.
The last remaining herb was the treasured pin-bone leaf, and she didn’t see it after searching for a while.
Medicinal Valley was really too huge, and there were too many herbs. A treasured pin-bone leaf was the size of a nail, so it was very hard to find. However, this herb always grew toward the sun, so it could most probably be found on the sunny side of the mountains.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and walked to the left mountain. After walking a very long distance, she finally smelled the familiar faint scent.
She was elated. It should be at the top!
But just as she wanted to quickly walk over and retrieve the treasured pin-bone leaf, a faintly glowing transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of her.
She paused in her tracks.
“Kid, that’s not a place you can go.” An old and deep voice sounded with a hint of laziness, as if he had just woken up.
Looking at the faint silver lines on the barrier and the shocking suppression, Chu Liuyue sensibly stopped and looked back. The place I’m located is very isolated, and there aren’t many people in the surroundings. This sentence seems to come from… the elder who is lying in the middle of Medicinal Valley far a way?
The two of them were a very long distance away from each other. That elder was still lying on the wooden bed motionlessly, as if he were having a good sleep. However, that voice was very clear as if he was right beside her.
“Kid, what are you looking at?” That voice had a hint of teasing to it.
Chu Liuyue confirmed that the person talking was indeed that person, and she was secretly shocked. Medicinal Valley is huge, but everything is clearly under that elder’s control. He should’ve made this gigantic barrier.
She cupped her fists toward that elder and respectfully bowed. “I’m Chu Yue. Greetings, Elder.”
“Hm? Chu Yue?” Hearing her words, that elder sounded a little shocked.
Chu Liuyue then saw the elder—who had been lying down motionlessly—finally sit up and place one hand on his brows as he looked over.
Even though she couldn’t see the other party’s face and expression clearly, Chu Liuyue was very sure that his judging gaze was filled with curiosity.
“You’re the one who got sent to Fengmin Mountain after coming here for a day?”
Chu Liuyue was speechless. So my name has been spread far and wide in Ling Xiao Academy…
“I was in the wrong.” She hung her head down slightly. “I just wanted to retrieve a few treasured pin-bone leaves. I didn’t know I couldn’t go here, and I had no intentions of offending anyone. Elder, please forgive me.”
“It’s your first time here, so it’s normal that you don’t know this.” That elder seemed like he had no intentions of blaming Chu Liuyue as he smiled. “However, it seems like Wan Zheng is very satisfied with you. He actually told you to come to Medicinal Valley so quickly?”
The elders were clearly familiar with each other. Chu Liuyue didn’t know what to say next as she obediently fell silent.
“The position of the treasured pin-bone leaves is indeed strange, but it’s still within the barrier. If you go to take it, don’t cross the barrier.” A weird sensation occurred behind her.
Chu Liuyue turned back and saw that the light on the barrier had dimmed quite a bit. That elder had clearly reduced the strength of it.
Feeling the great weakening of the suffocating suppression, Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief and immediately went up swiftly. She moved away a shrub and found a few treasured pin-bone leaves in a corner under a gigantic stone.
The leaf was entirely emerald green, and it was the size of a nail. It had toothed edges with a faint layer of frost.
It seemed translucent like jade. If one took a closer look at it, one could still see the thin veins on it, which looked like bone structures.
Chu Liuyue carefully retrieved the herbs.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over.
A few loose strands of hair dropped down, causing her face to itch slightly.
She bent down and unintentionally looked forward. Then, she suddenly focused her gaze.
As the strength of the barrier was greatly reduced, the originally blurry scenes became much clearer. This also allowed her to see the scenery she hadn’t noticed before.
There seemed to be a sapphire blue lake far away.
The lake was clear, and there was a faint layer of mist above the water, adding to its blurred beauty. However, this was why Chu Liuyue was so shocked.
She knitted her brows as she stared closely at the translucent pinkish flower in the middle of the lake. Her heart was in chaos. That’s… Dancing Lotus!
Many, many Dancing Lotuses were swaying above the water surface, and it looked heavenly!
Dancing Lotuses were extremely precious and hard to grow. Even Chu Liuyue couldn’t guarantee that she could grow a Dancing Lotus properly.
She thought back on how she had racked her brains and experienced so many troubles just to get that one stalk, yet there were so many here!
Just when Chu Liuyue was shocked, something flashed across her eyes, and a strong force suppressed her.
She suddenly recovered her senses and hurriedly took a few steps back. When she looked up again, the barrier had regained its original appearance.
The lake she had just seen and the blooming Dancing Lotuses had all become blurred images and disappeared.
For a moment, Chu Liuyue almost suspected that it was an illusion. However, the faint aroma lingering around her nose reminded her that everything was real!
“Kid, now that you’ve taken your item, it’s time to leave.” The elder’s voice sounded by her ears.
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other, retracted her gaze, and walked toward that elder.
Passing through half of Medicinal Valley, Chu Liuyue finally reached the center. There, she respectfully bowed. “Greetings elder.”
Elder Meng Ye’s hair was rather messy. He wore a white robe and was barefooted as he lazily sat on the wooden bed.
He stretched out one leg, bent the other, and placed his elbow on his knee, looking very casual. He then opened his eyes and sized Chu Liuyue up. “Tsk. You look obedient, but you’re quite bold!”
He laughed and asked ambiguously, “What did you see just now?”
Chu Liuyue paused and nodded. “I didn’t see anything.”
“Pfft.” Elder Meng Ye held up a wooden block in his hand and directly knocked it against Chu
Liuyue’s forehead. “You’re so young, yet you don’t speak the truth? I won’t eat you up anyway!”
Chu Liuyue hissed and obediently replied, “…I’m wrong. I saw… a field of mature Dancing
Lotuses. ”
“And what else?”
“Nothing else.”
Elder Meng Ye was then satisfied and lightly grunted. “That’s better. In this Medicinal Valley, nobody is allowed to hide from me. Do you understand?!” Chu Liuyue frankly said, “Thank you for your teachings, elder.”
“Okay, you don’t have to tell Wan Zheng about it.”
Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Why?”
Elder Meng Ye grunted lightly. “That medicinal garden is—forget it, forget it. Why are you asking so much? Just remember my words!”
However, Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. Medicinal garden?!
