Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Supervisor
“Yueyue, you shouldn’t have been so sharp just now,”
Zhao Xiyan, having tidied up, had reverted to his usual deanor, and even his tone hadn’t changed.
Qi Yue felt relieved and her words beca less restrained.
“What, scared? If he dares to bully you, I’ll scare him to death. Hmph. As if he has any right to laugh at others with the way he behaves!”
“You,” Zhao Xiyan chuckled, a hint of reproach on his handso face, “do you even know who he is?”
Qi Yue was unconcerned.
“He said his na is Qu Wei and that he has been here for more than ten years, but I don’t know anything else,”
The smile deepened on Zhao Xiyan’s face.
“Our Supervisor in the managent office is nad Qu Wei.”
“Ah.” Qi Yue was stunned for a mont but quickly rolled her eyes arrogantly.
“Even if he is the Supervisor, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I have sothing on him now.”
Qi Yue told Zhao Xiyan about her first encounter with Qu Wei.
“As a Supervisor, to collude with the natives and harm his own country’s people, I will make him pay sooner or later.”
As they spoke, they arrived at the tea table under the tree to rest.
Having listened to her, Zhao Xiyan shook his head, clearly disagreeing.
“You’re always so smart, how did you end up with such tunnel vision today?” Zhao Xiyan said with a smile, passing her a cup of tea with a gentle tone, “Drink so water.”
“How did I end up with tunnel vision?” Qi Yue muttered, drinking the water.
Being out for so long, she hadn’t really taken the ti to drink!
“Yueyue, if that Qu Wei really devised a plan for the natives to lead us away from our camp, he wouldn’t have needed to personally follow you,”
Upon hearing that, Qi Yue instantly rembered the baffled expression on Qu Wei’s face when she had ntioned the natives.
It seed she had indeed overthought it.
As a result, she’d even brought him here today, hoping to get the map of the vast forest of Longnan Ridge through him. She had truly walked into a trap!
If Qu Wei found out about her intention to enter the large forest, wouldn’t her whereabouts be exposed?
Qi Yue suddenly felt extrely ashad.
Zhao Xiyan, of course, was unaware of her thoughts. Seeing her silence, he thought she was frightened and consoled her, “Yueyue, you don’t need to worry. As a Supervisor, Qu Wei is probably not the type who seeks revenge for every grievance…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Qi Yue interrupted him.
“Haven’t you never t Qu Wei? How do you know about his identity?”
Zhao Xiyan was taken aback.
That day, Qu Wei had followed Qi Yue back and had scanned the area from a distance for quite a while.
He had quickly inquired with the local residents here and learned about his identity.
Several tis since then, he had seen Qu Wei standing outside the forest, waiting for Qi Yue to return from the mountains.
Though he had not approached to speak, his intentions, clear to any man, were plainly apparent to him.
He just hadn’t expected Qu Wei to show up so quickly and issue a challenge to him.
His Yueyue was so striking. In the future, many people would probably compete with him for her, right?
With this thought, he quickly smiled.
“Dad and Second Uncle went to barter beef for things, didn’t they? They ntioned it when they ca back.”
“Oh.” Yueyue nodded, stood up, and walked toward the pharmacy, “Qu Wei might co back to ask for dicine. I should prepare sothing nice for him. Hehe…”
Zhao Xiyan didn’t know what Qi Yue was up to, but he knew she had a sense of asure, so he didn’t say anything and just silently picked up the tea cup from the table.
He took the tea cup to his lips and sipped, slowly savoring it.
The water was clear and sweet and had always accompanied him on his journey. He had grown so used to it he almost couldn’t do without it now. He actually thought that living like this for the rest of his life would be quite nice.
But what about… Qi Yue?
He withdrew his gaze from the pharmacy door and sighed silently.
In the following days, the weather turned abruptly cold and hot, and it rained, causing many people to fall sick, and the number seeking dicine had increased.
Although her space had plenty of dicine, she couldn’t always bring out so unfamiliar dicinal pills. So, when she had free ti, Qi Yue would go into the mountains to gather herbs.
Of course, her main purpose was still to explore deeper into the great forest.
That day, Qi Yue walked in the woods for half a day and began to feel a bit lost, unable to find the way back.
Feeling anxious, she suddenly heard people talking not far away.
“Master, can’t we just dig up that dragon and bring it back with us?”
“A letter ca from over there. They can only co when the weather gets warr. Let the dragon endure a bit longer. Only after getting through this winter can true rit be achieved!”
“But Master, I’m worried that soone will discover it and dig it up!”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Those natives don’t understand dicine, and aside from us, who else can find this place?”
“Alright then, Master. Is that Supervisor Hu really coming to seek treatnt from you?”
“Of course, who else but your master can save his son?”
The two carried on their conversation, completely unaware of Qi Yue, who had been hiding from the beginning.
Qi Yue thought thoroughly about the conversation between the two, and the more she pondered, the more interesting it beca.
Next spring, will Supervisor Hu co to seek treatnt from this old man?
Listening to the exchange between the younger and the older, it was clear they were in league with the natives, but their speech and appearance did not seem native.
And what could the dragon they ntioned be?
She was too curious!
Qi Yue decided to investigate until she was clear.
Seeing that the two had vanished quickly, Qi Yue hurriedly entered the valley where the two had first been heard.
Once inside, she realized why she had gotten lost.
The place was a semicircular valley, deep and surrounded by trees thick enough to require a few people to wrap their arms around, with plenty of underbrush. At first glance, everything seed identical; it was normal to be unable to recognize the path.
As she walked deeper into the valley, she murmured to herself.
“What exactly is this ‘dragon’ they ntioned? Could it be a dicinal herb?”
Speaking of dicinal herbs, the valley was simply a treasure trove of them.
Wild Achyranthes Bidentata, Dong Quai, Ginseng, Black Goji Berry, He Shouwu, and other rare herbs were everywhere. Just at a glance, she spotted three hundred-year-old Ginseng plants.
The other herbs were also plentiful, growing in clusters, and all of them were of significant age.
Thinking of the vacant land in her space, Qi Yue instantly had an idea.
She had been aning to plant dicinal herbs in her space but had never gotten around to it. Now, faced with such a perfect transplanting opportunity, she naturally would not let it pass.
She took out her herbal shovel and began harvesting furiously. Soon, a large portion of the various herbs had been gathered.
Of course, she left so of each kind of herb behind, not uprooting them completely.
After the busy work, Qi Yue entered her space and watered all the herbs with Spiritual Spring Water, manipulating her consciousness.
Watching the herbs thrive under the nourishnt of the Spiritual Spring Water, she felt an imnse sense of satisfaction.
Just today’s collection of herbs alone was worth several million Silver!
No, it was simply imasurable in terms of money.
From now on, she would be able to satisfy almost all her needs for dicinal materials right within her space.
Qi Yue rested for a while, and seeing that the light in the woods had shifted a bit more, she decided to head back quickly.
If she didn’t return soon, the Zhao Family might start searching for her in the mountains.
Originally, she intended to exit the valley the sa way she ca in, but then she thought it would be better to leave from the opposite side of the circle, as it was closer to her ho.
And so, she weaved her way through the valley, unable to resist digging up more dicinal herbs into her space along the way.
She was happily excavating when her shovel suddenly struck a tree as thick as a bowl.
Upon closer examination, she was stunned.
It was a Panax Notoginseng tree.
The familiar six leaves, with a small white flower atop its crown. After double-checking, Qi Yue almost let out a shriek.
This was too terrifying; when had she ever seen such a large Panax Notoginseng? Could it be about to beco a spirit?
Seeing the Panax Notoginseng, her thoughts imdiately turned to Zhao Xiyan.
His leg’s blood vessels were damaged, and the tendons atrophied. If he could take high-quality Panax Notoginseng along with her use of the Ghost Gate Needle Technique, it would have a very good healing effect.
Before finding the White Rhino, this might be a good thod.
She took out her herbal shovel, which she had just used, and began to dig at the base of the Panax Notoginseng tree.
