Apothecary He hurried over. When he saw the Violet Herbs on the table, his eyes were filled with surprise.
These were Grade 7 spiritual herbs. In the entire Heaven’s Wall City, they could not find a single one, yet there were so many of them here at the moment.
“Miss Xiao, you…”
Xiao Qingxuan knew what he wanted to ask. She pointed at the spiritual herbs on the table and said, “I didn’t gather these Violet Herbs, but a noble gave them to me. Apothecary He, please refine a healing medicine and save my father’s life. After this is done, I’m willing to give you 2 stalks of the Violet Herbs as a reward.”
Apothecary He looked at Xiao Qingxuan in surprise.
2 stalks of Grade 7 spiritual herbs? This was a valuable fortune! Even if he added up all his assets, he still would not be able to exchange for 2 stalks of Grade 7 spiritual herbs.
“Miss Xiao, they’re too precious,” Apothecary He declined.
Xiao Qingxuan smiled faintly. “These few days, it was you who took care of my father, allowing him to persevere until now. Apothecary He, don’t decline them. One stalk is enough to save my father. The remaining ones aren’t of much use to me.”
She was an extremely intelligent person. She had promised benefits in advance. On one hand, she was indeed grateful for Apothecary He’s care for her father. On the other hand, she also hoped that he would do his best.
Apothecary He was just being polite. After all, how could he not be selfish when there was such a good thing?
“Do you need me to prepare a quiet place for you?” Xiao Qingxuan asked.
Apothecary He looked around and said, “It’s not too troublesome to make medicine. It’s fine here.”
He took out all the ingredients from his interspatial bag and selected some before placing them on the table.
“I’ll choose the best ingredients for Master Xiao. He’ll be saved for sure.”
As he spoke, he had already begun to take action.
Xiao Qingxuan smiled faintly. She knew that her promise had taken effect.
2 stalks of Grade 7 spiritual herbs were very precious, and they were given to her by that mysterious person. Nonetheless, for the sake of her father’s life, she knew that she could not be stingy. At this moment, other than the Violet Herbs, the Xiao family really could not bring out any other good things.
In the front courtyard’s hall.
The Xiao family had very few members to begin with. In addition to the previous attack, several of Xiao Qingxuan’s peers, as well as her uncles, were all killed. She and her father were the strongest, and they were both Rulers, which was why they were barely able to keep their lives.
When the honored guest came, no one accompanied him. Only the governor and a butler of the Xiao family accompanied him.
“Xiao Qingxuan is already back. Why hasn’t she come to see me?”
A middle-aged man on the armchair in the hall put down the teacup in his hand with anger flashing in his eyes.
“Elder Mu.” The butler of the Xiao family bowed respectfully and explained, “Young Lady is concerned about Old Master’s health, so she went to the backyard as soon as she came back. She’ll come over as soon as she’s done.”
On the other side of the big chair, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes also smiled and said, “Elder Mu, don’t be anxious. Filial piety is the most important thing. Since you’re here to bring Young Lady Xiao back to the Mu family of the Northern Sea Main City, I’m sure you also hope that she’s a grateful child.”
“Governor Qiu, why don’t we go to the backyard to take a look?” Elder Mu’s eyes were cold.
Elder Mu was from the Mu family of the Northern Sea Main City. He had been ordered to bring Xiao Qingxuan to the Mu family. He had thought that the Xiao family would greet him respectfully when he arrived, but the Xiao family was empty. The girl named Xiao Qingxuan had also left. He had waited for so long, but no one came.
He was originally dissatisfied and now that she had finally arrived home, she did not come to visit him.
Elder Mu was an honored guest. Naturally, no one dared to reject his suggestion.
Even Governor Qiu did not dare to offend the Mu family. He was only the manager of a small city and could not afford to offend the overlord of the main city.
When the few of them walked over, Apothecary He had just finished refining the medicine.
Looking at the Violet Herbs on the side, the butler cried out in shock, “Young Lady, you actually helped Old Master find the life-saving medicine!”
Governor Qiu and the elder of the Mu family also looked at the Violet Herbs on the table. Their eyes were filled with shock. The Violet Herb was precious and rarely seen. Where did the Xiao family’s young lady get so much from when she went out?
Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly stood up. She did not expect that someone would suddenly visit her, so she had not put away the Violet Herbs on the table in advance.
She bowed. “Greetings, Governor.”
“This is the elder of the Mu family from the Northern Sea Main City. He’s here to invite you to the Mu family.”
Xiao Qingxuan frowned slightly. ‘What’s my relationship with the Mu Family?’
Nevertheless, the Mu family was a giant in the main city. It was rumored that they had a supreme powerhouse in the second step, so she could not offend such a family. She quickly bowed. “Greetings, Elder Mu.”
“There’s no need for formalities,” Mu Jiangnan said indifferently.
He looked at Xiao Qingxuan and sighed. “You’re indeed a good seedling. No wonder Great Ancestor took a fancy to you. You’re lucky. Come with me to the Mu Residence tomorrow.”
“Why should I go to the Mu Residence?” Xiao Qingxuan asked.
“Because you’re also a member of the Mu family. Your mother is a member of the Mu family. You have the bloodline of the Mu family. Now that Great Ancestor has summoned you, you have to go back.”
Mu Jiangnan’s tone was a little unfriendly. He did not expect this girl to not know his identity.
Xiao Qingxuan turned to look at her father. She had never seen her mother since she was born. It was her father and wet nurse who raised her. Now that an elder of the Mu family had suddenly appeared and told her that she was a member of the Mu family, she could not accept the news.
She looked at her father’s expression and understood that what the elder said was true.
Xiao Qingxuan was a little angry. So what if it was the Mu family? What did that family have to do with her?
If they really cared about the Xiao family, why did they not appear half a month ago when the Xiao family was massacred?
All of a sudden, Xiao Qingxuan thought of something…
The Xiao family was well-behaved in Heaven’s Wall City. Her father was kind to others and did not have any grudges against anyone. Those assassins had come in a strange way. Not long after they planned to destroy the Xiao family, the Mu family had come to fetch her.
Could it be that…
Xiao Qingxuan’s body trembled slightly. This was only her guess and had not been confirmed.
Even so, she did not have any good impression of the Mu family.
She replied in a deep voice, “Elder Mu, I’m a member of the Xiao family. My father is currently seriously injured, I don’t intend to go to the Mu Residence…”
“What did you say!” Suddenly, a killing intent spread out.
Elder Mu’s expression changed slightly. He did not expect Xiao Qingxuan to be so bold.
“Elder Mu, calm down. My niece is just concerned about her father’s health.”
Governor Qiu stopped the killing intent and hurriedly gave Xiao Qingxuan a look. The Mu family could not be offended. Neither he nor the Xiao family could offend them.
Xiao Qingxuan’s expression changed slightly. She could sense Elder Mu’s powerful strength. This was a powerhouse in the law boundary. Even if such a powerhouse forcefully took her away, there was nothing she could do.
“Elder, can you let my father take the healing medicine first?”
Xiao Qingxuan asked in a deep voice. She was thinking of a way to deal with it. According to her speculation, those people were most likely related to the My family. She could not go to that place.
“Hurry up and go over.” The governor glanced at Apothecary He, who was hiding at the side.
Apothecary He hurriedly walked over and placed the healing medicine into Xiao Baili’s mouth. The instant the medicine entered his mouth, he clearly looked better.
Xiao Qingxuan walked over. “Apothecary He, my father…”
“Master Xiao’s life is saved, but he still needs some time to recover before he can get up. Usually, if he eats more spiritual medicines to supplement his body, he should be able to get out of bed in 3 to 5 months. However, I’m afraid that his strength…” Apothecary He gave a rough description of Xiao Baili’s situation.
Apothecary He did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew very well. The master’s life could be saved, but he could forget about his strength.
Mu Jiangnan’s gaze also swept across Xiao Baili’s body. He shook his head. Xiao Baili’s body had rotted away. The only reason he could be saved was because of the Violet Herb.
Xiao Qingxuan also knew that Apothecary He had done his best. She picked up the remaining Violet Herbs from the table, took out 2 stalks, and said, “This is the reward I promised before. Please accept them, Apothecary He.”
“Uhm…” Apothecary He did not reach out his hand but looked at the governor.
Governor Qiu frowned slightly. “She gave them to you so please accept them.”
“Thank you.” Upon hearing the governor’s words, Apothecary He heaved a sigh of relief and accepted the spiritual medicine.
Xiao Qingxuan looked at her father’s dejected look and felt a little sorry for him.
Her father had pursued martial arts all his life. His talent was average, but he had cultivated to be a Ruler and had spent a lot of effort. Xiao Qingxuan understood that losing the hope of strength and cultivation was even crueler than death to her father.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and a Golden Pill appeared in her hand.
She looked at Apothecary He and asked, “What do you think of this pill?”
The moment the pill appeared, everyone’s expression changed. This was not an ordinary pill. The treasure light on it showed that it was different from the rest.
“A refreshing fragrance and pill mist. There are 5 dragons wreathing the sun. This is a top-grade pill!”
Apothecary He looked at the pill in Xiao Qingxuan’s hand with infatuation.
“Qingxuan, where did you get this pill from?” Governor Qiu asked hurriedly.
A hint of desire flashed across Mu Jiangnan’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it. His gaze was also filled with curiosity.
‘Where did the little girl get such a good thing?’
Xiao Qingxuan put away the pill and said, “When I went out to look for medicine this time, I was chased by people on the way and almost died. Luckily, I met a noble. He gave me those Violet Herbs and this pill. He said that if the Violet Herb can’t cure my father, I can try using this pill.”
‘A noble!’
The others still did not look away from Xiao Qingxuan. What kind of person would be so generous as to give away a top-grade divine pill and so many Violet Herbs?
“Father, are you willing to try it?” Xiao Qingxuan looked at her father and asked.
Xiao Baili’s eyes were filled with tears. He did not expect his daughter to be hunted outside. If it were not for the sudden appearance of that noble…
After a moment, Xiao Baili nodded. His daughter’s kindness could not be let down, and he also wanted to give it a try.
Xiao Qingxuan walked over and placed the Golden Pill into her father’s mouth.
The Golden Pill entered his mouth and turned into a stream. Xiao Baili’s body was emitting a golden light, which was filled with the aura of life.
After a while, a faint pressure appeared on Xiao Baili’s body. This was a sign that his strength had returned.
‘A divine pill!’ Apothecary He roared in his heart.
He was an apothecary, so he could clearly feel the changes in Xiao Baili’s body. The master’s body was rapidly recovering, and even his spiritual power was returning bit by bit.
Xiao Qingxuan raised her head and looked at Mu Jiangnan. She smiled and asked, “Elder Mu, don’t you want to know who that noble is?”
“Who is he?” Mu Jiangnan asked involuntarily.
“He said his name is Ou Yangming.”
Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with reminiscence as she uttered this name.
As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Mu Jiangnan. When she saw the drastic change in his expression, she suddenly smiled…
That person had helped her again.
