C7 (2/2)

After a long while, Jiao Ruhua suddenly put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head and looked at him: ”If you have something to say, then say it!”

middle-aged manager's entire body shook, he took a deep breath and said: ”First Lady, why did you let them go so easily, we can totally …”

”I let them go because I want Hu Qingyang to owe me a favor!” Jiao Ruhua replied indifferently.

Hearing this, middle-aged manager's heart moved, and he anxiously asked a question in reply: ”First Lady, could it be that you mean ….”

”There seems to be someone protecting that useless fellow from the back. Since we are unable to personally attack, why not take this opportunity …”

After saying that, a sharp glint flashed past her eyes.

Listening to the rain, medicine store.

Within a grand pavilion, a slim and graceful young girl stood in front of the window, gazing into the distance.

The young girl had delicate features and an extraordinary temperament. She wore a long purple dress with a slender figure, faintly exuding the graceful air of a lady.

Zhuang Mengyu, behind the Medicine Fragrance Family's Manor.

The Zhuang Family was the number one medicine clan in all the kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Tianwu Gate.

And Zhuang Mengyu, the proud daughter of heaven, had taken over the clan business Xuexuan Medicine Company in the Rain at the age of fifteen. It had not even been a year, and her name had already shaken all the countries.

”Miss, what are you looking at now?” At the door, a pretty servant walked in and interrupted Zhuang Mengyu's train of thoughts.

She turned her head to look at the maidservants who were slowly walking forward and smiled slightly. Her exquisite face immediately revealed two dimples.

”Snowy, how's the situation at the medicine shop today? How's the incense search going in the fog?”

In reply to the young miss, the progress has been quite smooth, and it has attracted many medicine seeker s to come as well. Furthermore, the young master of the Gu and Hu family also came today, they played a big game this time, however, according to the Manager Yin, an accident happened during the process!

”Oh!” Hearing this, Zhuang Mengyu became a little interested, and asked: ”What's going on?”

”Miss, I heard Manager Yin mention that at noon …” maidservant Xiao Xue explained everything that had happened in the medicine shop in the middle of the day exactly as he had described it.

After hearing what the maidservant Xiao Xue had to say, Zhuang Mengyu fell into deep thought for a short while.

Hearing that, Zhuang Mengyu turned and smiled mysteriously at her, but she didn't answer or not, she only told her this: ”Xiao Xue, send someone to investigate this person's background, and if he comes back to our medicine shop again, you can introduce him to me!”

”Miss, could it be that you've taken a fancy to his talent in searching for medicine?” Snowy's eyes immediately opened wide, filled with curiosity.

”Just follow my instructions and don't ask about anything else that you shouldn't have!”

”Oh!” Hearing this, Xiao Xue could only nod her head. However, she did not understand what her young miss wanted to do.

After maidservant Xiao Xue left, Zhuang Mengyu stood in front of the window once again, with her hands behind her back, she quietly looked into the distance.

After a long time.

She mumbled to herself.

It was night.

Wu manor was brightly lit.

In his room, there was an extra huge wooden bathtub. Wu Hao laid there naked, with only his head revealed, while the rest of his body was immersed in the green liquid which was emitting white steam.

At this moment, he clenched his teeth tightly. Veins popped out from his forehead, and he was covered in sweat.

Obviously, he was suffering great pain.

He had used the black pot to make a huge pot of Body Refinement Liquid out of the few low-grade first-grade medicinal herbs he had bought during the day.

This medicine had the effect of cleansing the bones and removing impurities from the body, so soaking in it was like being bitten by a myriad of ants, the pain was hard to describe.

Martial arts required both inner and outer cultivation, and tempering one's physique was one of the most basic requirements. Only with strong physique could one withstand the storage of strong internal energy.
