Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone through such trouble to sign this deed through the Governor’s Office.
“That’s good, by the way, where is Master Mu staying tonight?”
“At an inn outside of town, my horse is also stabled there!”
Xie Zhinuan thought for a mont before speaking, “Silly girl, did anyone notice when you ca back?”
“…” Silly Girl was puzzled, “Miss, what do you an?”
“If I were the person behind the scenes, I would definitely kill Master Mu and fra him, considering he is carrying quite a lot of silver!”
Suddenly sitting upright, Silly Girl said, “Miss, then I should go back quietly at once, I must catch this hidden culprit!”
“You don’t need to go, I happen to have a most suitable person over here!”
Dugu Zhen.
When Xie Zhinuan knocked on the door, Dugu Zhen had not yet fallen asleep.
With age, his sleep quality had deteriorated, and being accustod to roughing it outside, he felt confined in this house.
Yet he wanted to take Xie Zhinuan as his apprentice and had been dawdling here, not willing to leave.
Hearing the knock, he humd impatiently, “Who is it, I’m not here!”
Xie Zhinuan raised an eyebrow, “Really not here, then I’m leaving!”
“?”
Upon hearing the voice, Dugu Zhen imdiately got up and opened the door, seeing Xie Zhinuan standing at the threshold, he asked puzzledly, “Why are you here?”
“I’ve co to ask for your help with sothing!”
“I’m not willing!”
Xie Zhinuan took out a porcelain bottle and shook it in front of Dugu Zhen, “Really not willing?”
“Is this the dicine pill you gave to the mute servant?” Dugu Zhen asked excitedly.
He had asked the mute servant why his martial arts had improved so dramatically.
Although he was told to ask Xie Zhinuan, the explanation was vague.
When he asked Xie Zhinuan, she had always refused to say.
“Yes, this is the dicine pill I gave to Uncle Mute. I want you to do sothing for , this is your reward, do you want it or not?”
“I do!” Dugu grabbed the porcelain bottle, shook it, and heard no sound; he opened it to look, it was empty!
“You little brat, are you playing a trick on ?”
“Of course not, it’s just that the dicine pill is precious. You haven’t done anything yet, taking the reward now would be a bit early, wouldn’t it!” Xie Zhinuan spoke softly.
So frustrated he felt like stomping his feet, Dugu held the porcelain bottle and slamd the door shut.
If one thought he was angry, they would be greatly mistaken. He was vigorously sniffing the porcelain bottle, trying to discern the various dicinal herbs, so as to create a powerful dicine pill.
But, while he could sll the herbs, what about the formula?
He sat down on the chair, pondering.
This dicine pill, it certainly wasn’t just about the herbs.
He opened the door again and said to Xie Zhinuan, “Let’s do it this way, you tell the formula, and I will prepare the dicinal ingredients. If we successfully produce the dicine pills, we can split fifty-fifty!”
However, Xie Zhinuan shook her head, “Twenty-eight, you twenty, I eighty!”
“You’re asking too much, little girl!” Dugu exclaid.
“I’m providing the ingredients, and when it cos to making the dicine pills, I will have to do it. I…”
“You think just the ingredients are enough?” Xie Zhinuan countered, “Of course not. It’s not just about having the ingredients, but also the formula; I also need to bring out sothing unique in the world to make the effect of the produced dicine pills astonishing. Giving you twenty percent is already because of your old age!”
“You, you, you…” Dugu was infuriated again.
He considered himself good at getting on people’s nerves, but in front of Xie Zhinuan, he was only on the receiving end.
And he didn’t have a single idea what to do about it.
But Xie Zhinuan wasn’t wrong about one thing, many matters still required her involvent, and he couldn’t do anything with just the dicinal ingredients.
“Deal, I take twenty, you eighty. Now, what do you need to do?” Dugu asked gravely.
Xie Zhinuan looked at him seriously, “Can I trust you?”
