Chapter 130 (1/2)
His first thought upon waking up was that he might have died again. He had been too careless.
He recognized all those herbs. Even though he wasn't as familiar with the book as Qu Liuxi, his experience couldn't be compared to an ordinary person.
He knew he was awake, and he knew he couldn't pretend not to be.
The human body's reaction was so acute that an experienced healer could easily make a judgment.
The owner of this small courtyard was Zhuge Liuyun. He was known as the number one healer in the entire Yan Kingdom for the past fifty years, and was also known as the number one alchemist madman in the world.
Although these two first place winners were slightly wet, it was enough to show Zhuge Liuyun's ability.
Thus, from the moment he woke up, An Zhe had no intentions of pretending. Instead, he wanted to give himself a reasonable explanation for barging into a small courtyard.
””You're awake.””
The voice was familiar.
An Zeng opened his eyes and saw a person standing next to him, beautiful and adorable, with a slightly red face.
””Huh?””
He didn't expect to meet her here.
Ding Ningdong.
Ding Ningdong wore a goose-yellow dress. She seemed to be br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the youthful aura of a young girl and had a gentle and cute temperament.
””If you come to see me, remember to knock next time.””
Ding Ningdong placed a cup of water beside An Zhe, ””Fortunately, master only planted herbs to prevent thieves, so the medicinal properties are not strong. Moreover, you immediately closed your mouth, inhaling only a small amount of fragrance.””
An Zaixin thought the situation was bad, it was more complicated than explaining why she had barged into the small courtyard. Ding Ningdong thought he had come to sneak a peek at her.
””I …””
An Zhan felt that his throat was a little hoa.r.s.e, and he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Ding Ning Dong said, ””I don't know how you found out, but you actually knew I was here.””
You're quite capable, but don't be so reckless next time.
Fortunately, you only entered the backyard. If you entered the house, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so lucky.
””Master's Potioneering array in the backyard is very powerful. Even if a cultivator in the state of desire were to enter, he would be entranced if he wasn't careful.””
An Xuan had to find a topic to divert Ding Ningdong's attention. ””But why are the commoners living near this small courtyard alright?””
Ding Ning Dong replied with a smile, her voice crisp as a bell, ””That's because the walls were built using earth as a foundation. When the flower fragrance drifted out of the garden, it was neutralized by the medicinal properties of the soil, so the fragrance of the flowers drifted out.””
””And you entered the courtyard and activated the medicinal array.””
Ding Ning Dong, who was sitting next to An Zaihai, touched his forehead, ””Your health is good. The fragrance of this flower will last for a while, but it won't do any harm.””
My master will be back soon, so you can rest for a while and leave.
””If you want to see me, you'll see me when the academy officially opens in a few days.””
An Xuan said, ””Actually …””
Ding Ningdong suddenly reached out her hand to stop An Zaihai's mouth, ””I know what you want to say, so I better not say it.””
Ding Ningdong leaned down, put her red lips to An Zaihai's ears and said in an extremely low voice, ””It's better to leave behind some beautiful fantasies. I can't think of you as a thief.””
Otherwise, I won't be able to let you go. ””
An Zaixin sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Ding Ning Dong Dong's lips were already touching An Xin's face, and the softness and warmth of her lips were clearly felt. She whispered in his ear, ””I know you definitely came here for a reason, but you can only sneak in to see me right now, understand?””
An Zhe suddenly realized that there must be someone watching this small courtyard.
Of course, Ding Ningdong didn't really like him, which was why she started spouting nonsense. Instead, she saved him.
””Thank you.”” Ang nodded.
Ding Ningdong said, ””When I send you out later, you pretend nothing happened.””
If … if you don't want to die, you must hug me before you go out.
””Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe my master's explanation.””
When he sat up, he still felt a little dizzy in his head.
””Everything in this yard seems very strange.””
An Zhan casually said.
Ding Ningdong sat up straighter, ””Master has been alone for so many years, it doesn't matter if it's a little strange or not.””
If you feel better, then leave quickly, or he won't forgive you when he comes back. ””
””Oh, then I'll be leaving first.””
Ding Ningdong opened the door, walked An Zaihai to the door of the small courtyard, then opened her arms.
An Zeng's eyes flashed for a moment, then he walked over and hugged Ding Ningdong.
Ding Ningdong whispered into An Zaiyue's ear, ””If you're so perfunctory, how can you do it?””
An Zizheng used both of his arms to tightly hold Ding Ningdong, then Ding Ningdong pushed him away, ””Quickly leave, or else Master will come back and you will be in trouble.””
An Zaihai opened the door, ran out, and then stopped. He turned around and smiled at Ding Ningdong. Ding Ningdong was also smiling at him, but there was bitterness in her smile.
After An Zaiyue left, he felt like he was dreaming. He never thought that Ding Ningdong would be in Zhuge Liuyun's yard.
The strong and poor girl, too, seemed mysterious.
However, An Zaiyue also confirmed one thing. There must be some big secret hidden in Zhuge Liuyun's yard. Otherwise, why would a house of an imperial physician be watched closely all day long?
Judging from Ding Ningdong's reaction, she seemed to be particularly afraid of those people.
But why did no one stop him before he entered the courtyard?
He couldn't figure out these things clearly, but he felt that Zhuge Liuyun's yard was strange.
The only thing that didn't match the courtyard was the gentle and cute Ding Ning Dong.
He walked forward, preparing to return to the market.
Halfway there, he saw a few sneaky men in an alley who seemed to be carrying something.
