Lu Miao nodded indifferently, “Oh, the road can be quite challenging. Be careful while walking.”
These words made Lu Siyu feel like hitting soone. Did Lu Miao not take her seriously at all?
Gritting her teeth, she glared at her and retorted, “Mind your own business.”
Turning around, Lu Siyu had barely taken a couple of steps when suddenly, she felt as if she had stepped on sothing. Her body instantly slid forward, and with a cry of alarm, she flailed her hands in the air before landing on the ground with a thud.
“Lu Miao!” Lu Siyu scread as she picked herself up from the ground, furious. She twisted her head to look back at Lu Miao.
Lu Miao stood at a distance, shrugging her shoulders. “I did warn you to be careful.”
Lu Siyu was filled with both anger and frustration, but with several ters separating them, she couldn’t find any evidence that Lu Miao had deliberately caused her fall. All she could do was curse at Lu Miao in her mind and angrily walk away.
As Lu Miao watched her retreating figure, a smirk appeared on her lips. Soon enough, Lu Siyu would realize that the path ahead would be even more treacherous.
After completing a round on the rooftop, Lu Miao turned around and a small silver dagger appeared in her hand. According to the principles of the Five Elents and Eight Trigrams, she inscribed several symbols in different positions.
The entire observatory itself was the center of her formation, and to break the formation, the observatory and the formation needed to rge into one.
With everything done, Lu Miao locked the iron door to the rooftop before leaving.
As the construction of the observatory neared its completion, the ti to break the formation was also drawing near. The Seven Killings formation remained unbroken in history, and even with Lu Miao’s confidence, it would not be an easy task.
There were many preparations she needed to make.
At the sa ti, she had to ensure that Qin Shuang truly believed in the effectiveness of the expert’s thods, allowing her to extract more money from her. The next day, Lu Miao simply called the horoom teacher and requested sick leave.
The teacher readily approved it. After all, with Lu Miao’s academic performance and achievents, she could easily secure a place at a top university even if she slept all day at ho.
In this world, so people were born to infuriate others.
And Lu Miao was one of them!
Auntie Xiu ca out with breakfast and, upon hearing Lu Miao’s sick leave request, looked worried and asked if she wasn’t feeling well.
“I’m fine. I’ve been running around a lot lately and just need a few days to rest,” Lu Miao replied.
“It must be because Gu Ziheng didn’t good care of you in the capital. I knew he was unreliable,” Gu Jinxi’s voiced out from a distance.
Gu Jinxi ca downstairs and sat next to Lu Miao, snorting. “Second sister-in-law, next ti you go anywhere, I’ll accompany you and make sure to take good care of you.”
Lu Miao tapped her finger on his forehead. “Don’t think about skipping classes.”
She knew exactly what he was thinking. It was nothing more than getting tired of attending classes and finding an excuse to go out and have fun.
Gu Jinxi grabbed Lu Miao’s arm and sobbed, “Sister-in-law, I’ve been diligently going to class and doing howork as you told for a long ti. If you don’t let go out and have fun, I’ll suffocate at school.”
A slender hand imdiately grabbed him by the collar from behind and pulled him to the other side.
Gu Shiyu sat down in his chair and said, “Then suffocate, so be it.”
“Sister-in-law, Second Brother is being too an!” Gu Jinxi imdiately complained.
Lu Miao raised her hand to massage her temple. These two brothers had already started arguing early in the morning.
Was this what married family life was like?
Lu Miao thought about the possibility of chaos every morning with crying infants, Gu Ziheng and Gu Jinxi fighting with each other, and the constant stream of complaints, whether big or small, directed at her. She couldn’t help but shudder at the thought. Marriage seed too terrifying!
She would never get married in the future!
“Second Sister-in-law?” Gu Jinxi moved closer to her and waved his hand.
Lu Miao ca back to her senses and picked up a steaming soup dumpling from the plate. She turned around and stuffed it into his mouth.” Alright, hurry up and eat your breakfast. You’ll be late later. ‘”‘
Only then did Gu Jinxi sit down reluctantly.
After breakfast, Gu Jinxi went to school while Gu Shiyan went to the company.
Lu Miao went upstairs and packed everything she needed. Then, she said to Auntie Xiu,” Auntie Xiu, if anyone asks you about these few days, just say that I’m sick at ho and bedridden.””
In order to confirm that she had really done sothing to her, Qin Shuang would definitely think of a way to find the people around her to ask about her situation. Gu Shiyan and the others would definitely not cooperate. The only person she could look for was Auntie Xiu.
Auntie Xiu didn’t know why, but she still nodded and agreed.
Lu Miao casually posted another ssage on her WeChat Monts. She was sick and uncomfortable, so she blocked this ssage from Gu Shiyan and the others. Then, she carried her bag and went out, taking a taxi to the suburbs.
Luo City was a coastal city with a developed economy. There were also so scenic spots around it.
Lu Miao took a taxi to the foot of the mountain and then went up the mountain.
After a day of running, she went straight to the shop she frequented when she passed by the dicinal herb market in the afternoon.
When the boss saw her, he imdiately ca up to her with a smile. “Miss Lu, what would you like to order this ti?”
Lu Miao thought for a mont.” Boss, do you have star falling grass?”
Legend had it that this grass grew around the stars after they landed on the ground. Without seeds, it could not be planted artificially.
Moreover, the effective period was very short. It would only be effective if it was picked within three months. After three months, it would beco ordinary weeds.
Therefore, it was extrely precious and priceless. Most people had only seen pictures of it.
Because of the Symbiosis curse, her body was now much weaker.
In order to be safe, she had to prepare for the worst before breaking the array.
She wanted to use the star falling grass as a dicinal catalyst to refine a few life-saving pills.
The boss hesitated, “I had indeed bought one at a high price before, but Miss Lu should know that this grass is really rare. I can’t be sure if it’s real. Sit down and wait for a mont. I’ll take it out for you to take a look.”
With that, he turned around and quickly entered the back of the pharmacy.
A mont later, he walked over with an exquisite and ancient box in his hand.
He opened the box and handed it to Lu Miao.
Before Lu Miao could catch it, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the box away.
“Boss, I want this grass.”
Lu Miao’s face darkened. She raised her head and saw a handso young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was swiftly putting the box containing the star falling grass into his bag.
Lu Miao reached out and grabbed his wrist, which was stuffing things into his bag, and said coldly,” Give back the herbs.’”‘
“No, don’t you Chinese people understand first co, first served? I got it first, so it’s mine.”The foreigner spoke in slightly stiff Mandarin and hugged the box tightly in his arms.
Lu Miao was speechless. Was this how first co, first served worked?
She didn’t waste any more ti with him. She grabbed his wrist with one hand and grabbed the bag in his arms with the other and pulled it over..
