Chapter 141: Chapter 141 “You are bold, daring to want to order the lady around?
That afternoon, Qi Yue racked her brain trying to rember where she had heard the surna Qing but to no avail.
Later, she entered her space and suddenly rembered when she saw the White Rhino.
It was in the white fog of Longnan Ridge in the Western Regions, where a group of people besieging the White Rhino had called soone “Lord Qing” several tis.
At that ti, she even heard that man speak, his voice was not young.
Though he was addressed as “Lord”, it was clear from his speech that he too was ordered to capture the White Rhino!
Since within the four nations only the Qing Family of Donggao existed, it was almost certain that the person capturing the White Rhino and the one who poisoned people at Longnan County Governnt were the sa.
Qi Yue took out paper and pen and wrote down a basic profile of this person.
[A man from Donggao, Qing sothing, a mid or high-level official, voice deep and strong, aged around forty to fifty, knowledgeable in dicine, skilled in using poison, vicious and ticulous in approach.]
But to find such a person was near impossible.
“Finding a needle in a haystack! Only if they were to willingly walk into the trap would it be sowhat possible.”
Qi Yue muttered to herself and tucked the paper back into the drawer.
Suddenly, she was struck by a question.
It had been so long since the poisoning incident, why had this Mr. Qing not co to trouble her?
Could it be he didn’t know it was she, the Divine Doctor, who had cured the people of the poison?
After much consideration, she felt it was impossible.
If Chu Yuntian could think of it, that Mr. Qing must have done so long ago.
But why hadn’t there been any sign of him?
In this mansion, apart from one burglary and two visits from Hu Chengxuan’s lackeys, there had been no one else.
These two months had been remarkably quiet.
Could it be that all of them were dealt with by the person secretly watching her?
It must be so!
If that’s the case, doesn’t it an that person knows everything?
Qi Yue suddenly stood up and imdiately exited the space to find the four guards with varied statures.
The four guards, since they were the mansion’s protectors, were stationed in the front courtyard.
At this mont, they were drinking tea and chatting in the small hall of the front courtyard.
The fat one talked the most and was the least able to sit still.
“Do you think we should tell our master about today’s events?”
The tall one glanced at him, “Cut the nonsense, the master’s already troubled.”
“I think we should tell the master, let him know that now there are three n aiming at the female master. I wonder if that’ll make him anxious?” The skinny one said slowly as he took his ti sipping his tea.
“Exactly, if you ask , the master should just co over and give the female master a… you know, and that’d settle everything.” The short one laughed lewdly, his already small eyes narrowing into slits.
The tall one quickly used his gaze to silence their reckless talk and said coldly, “You guys don’t know anything, the master…”
Suddenly, rapid footsteps approached, and the tall one imdiately shut up, turning to look at the approaching Qi Yue.
Qi Yue glanced at them; she had clearly heard them referring to their master a mont ago, and now they were silent.
“What were you discussing about here?”
The tall one smiled obsequiously, stepping forward and said, “We were saying how our master isn’t just beautiful but also kind-hearted, allowing us to drink such good water, and recently, our wounds have healed a lot.”
The others chid in imdiately.
“Yeah, our master is really a good person. We can’t repay you enough, we can only commit ourselves to our duties and protect our master’s safety.”
“…”
Hearing a few complints, Qi Yue felt quite pleased on the inside.
It’s not that she was arrogant; what they said was the truth after all!
“Good, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better.”
She took a good look at them and indeed saw that the wounds of the guards had healed to varying degrees. However, Spiritual Spring Water was inevitably slow in effect, and it would be much better combined with dicines.
But since these n did not allow her to examine their injuries and had deliberately described the knife wounds as poison, she did not expose them.
Thinking this, she took out two bottles of Carefree Pills and tossed them to the tall guard.
“These are new dicines I’ve made; they should help with your injuries.”
The tall guard’s eyes narrowed.
“My lord, this isn’t…”
He had been to the black market and naturally knew the potency of this dicine.
Originally, the lord intended to give each of them a bottle, but fearing that Qi Yue would notice sothing amiss, he had to let them take just a few pills.
But unexpectedly, she gave them two bottles on the spot.
The fat one’s eyes lit up as well, and he snatched a bottle in one swift move.
“This bottle is mine now.”
Seeing this, Qi Yue smiled slightly.
“What, you recognize it? This is indeed the Carefree Pill. Don’t be shy, after all, you are now my guards, and you’ve been putting a lot of effort into the night patrols. I can’t be too harsh on you, especially since I haven’t paid you your wages…”
Seeing the fat one’s triumphant expression, Qi Yue pondered.
If a master were to co, she would have to rely on these n.
“…Let’s just give each of you a bottle, after all, it’s easy for to make them.”
Saying that, she reached into her bosom and took out two more bottles of Carefree Pills, placing them beside her.
The fat one was now cradling the bottle of pills in his arms, telling the skinny one and the short one about the wonders of the Carefree Pill.
“I haven’t had the chance to tell you, let you know. These Carefree Pills, eating them is just like the taste of Immortal Pills. One pill will refresh your whole body, two will cure all ailnts, and with three you’d ascend to immortality…”
Hearing his sowhat exaggerated description, Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You haven’t even opened the lid, how would you know it tastes just like Immortal Pills…”
The fat one was suddenly at a loss for words. He couldn’t possibly say that his lord had given him a few pills to try!
The tall one was quick to react, seeing the fat one about to spill the beans, he imdiately took over the conversation.
“My lord, he heard about it in the black market, I heard it too!”
Qi Yue nodded, thinking that must be the case.
She was just about to say why she had co when they made her forget. Suddenly, the tall one asked with a smile, “My lord, did you co over because of the night patrols issue?”
At that reminder, Qi Yue rembered all at once.
“Yes, I indeed wanted to discuss the night patrol with you.”
The tall one imdiately stated his position.
“Please rest assured, my lord. The four of us will intensify the patrols and not let a single bad person in!”
Hearing this, Qi Yue quickly waved her hands.
“No, no, no, I want you to stop the nightly patrols.”
Upon hearing this, the four n—tall, short, fat, and skinny—all widened their eyes in surprise.
“Ah, why is that?”
Qi Yue hooked her lips slightly, a aningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
“Because I’m planning to trap them in an enclosed space. With such tight patrols, no one dares to co in.”
The fat one was the first to voice objections.
“My lord, this is too dangerous. Our duty is to eliminate all potential threats.”
Qi Yue shook her head repeatedly.
“No, no, no, your duty has changed. From now on, you will assist in capturing anyone who dares to enter this mansion!”
Her voice was clear and forceful, carrying an unquestionable power, and the four n imdiately bowed their heads in acceptance.
“Yes, my lord!”
Qi Yue repeated the details of the action plan to all four again, making sure they understood, before she left.
The mont she walked away, the four n huddled their heads together.
“What should we do, the lady master is going to take action herself?”
“Big brother, I think we should inform the main master about this.”
“Can’t the four of us handle such a trivial matter? I’ve heard the lady master also has Innate Divine Strength, more than enough to deal with petty thieves!”
“How dare you, thinking of ordering the lady master around?”
“I wasn’t, but since that’s the case, we should still inform the main master!”
“That makes sense…”
