Zhang Lao continued after keeping silent for a while.
“No way! That’s impossible! These are the only spirit herbs left in the Mu family? Aren’t the spirit herb mountains providing spirit herbs to the Mu family every year? Where are those spirit herbs now?” Mu Ying’s body was trembling, his eyes were filled with panic.
“Aunt Qingyan has taken them away. Ever since she has stepped into the Mu family, she has always been fawning over everyone in the Mu family by giving them spirit herbs. She has even given spirit herbs to the humble servants. It was only natural that everyone in the Mu family likes her. If she was using her own spirit herbs, I would agree that she is a great person. However, she was using the Mu family’s spirit herbs to do this.” Zhang Lao straightened up.
Zhang Lao’s words had hit the nail on the head.
Chen Qingyan was merely a concubine in the Mu family. If she had given away her own spirit herbs to the people in the Mu family to keep in with them, there was no doubt that everyone would think that Chen Qingyan was kind. However, she was actually using the Mu family’s spirit herbs instead.
Everyone present fell silent and stopped talking. Their faces darkened.
“Manor Lady did give some spirit herbs to the disciples that she had brought back to the Mu family. However, all the spirit herbs that she had taken were those that she had brought back to the Mu family herself and I have jotted all of them down. Manor Lady had never touched anything that belonged to the Mu family.”
Zhang Lao had always been taking care of the spirit herb chamber. He had even treated the spirit herbs like his own children.
Seeing the amount of the spirit herbs dropping day by day, his heart was broken, but he had nowhere to vent his grievance.
Now was such a great chance to pour it all out. Hence, he must tell everyone the things that Chen Qingyan had done and how she had put the Mu family into trouble.
“By the way, what about the Grade-7 spirit herbs? Zhang Lao, where are the Grade-7 spirit herbs? Has the Mu family run out of Grade-7 spirit herbs?” Suddenly, Mu Ying shouted. He had finally come back to his senses.
“You may want to ask Aunt Qingyan. She has taken them away!” Zhang Lao snorted.
Zhang Lao’s remark sounded like thunder in a clear sky, hitting everyone present like a ton of bricks.
“Zhang Lao, don’t you know how important the Grade-7 spirit herbs to the Mu family? How could you simply let someone take it away without informing anyone of us?”
“I did inform Manor Master about this. Manor Master said that he has left all these matters to Aunt Qingyan. I am nobody but an old coot who looks after the spirit herb chamber. I couldn’t do anything to her. Naturally, I wanted to stop people from taking the spirit herbs away, but who am I to do that?” Zhang Lao’s face was nonchalant.
Hearing this, Mu Ling had a dazed look on his face.
Zhang Lao was right. He had looked for Mu Ling back then and he did mention something about some Grade-7 spirit herbs. However, Mu Ling did not show much concern as a piece of Grade-7 spirit herb was not a big deal and he could afford to give it to Chen Qingyan. Hence, he had rebuked Zhang Lao. He told Zhang Lao to stop disturbing him and let Chen Qingyan handle all these things on her own.
Little did Mu Ling know, Chen Qingyan had actually taken all Grade-7 spirit herbs—the most precious things in the Mu family.
“Qingyan, where are the spirit herbs?” Mu Ling turned to look at Chen Qingyan as his face darkened.
Although Mu Ling loved and trusted Chen Qingyan, the Mu family was still the most important thing to him.
Mu Ling had only managed to attain Immortal Warrior tier after consuming the Grade-7 spirit herb back then. Originally, he had planned to consume the Grade-7 spirit herb once he had attained Intermediate Immortal Warrior tier so he could restore the strength he once had.
Now that all the Grade-7 spirit herbs were gone with not even one piece left, he could not help feeling upset.
This time, Chen Qingyan really panicked. Her face was drained out of color, her eyes were flooded with tears.
“I… I have exchanged the Grade-7 spirit herbs with the Thousand Vines Orchid. Brother Ling, I didn’t mean to do this. I was deceived into doing this as someone has told me that the Thousand Vines Orchid could improve the old master’s health. I did this for the old master!”
