Fu Xiyan heard the words and raised his eyebrows, "How so?"
"From what I understand, although Qi Yuanyuan is the only daughter of Mo Qingsnow, and Mo Qingsnow indulges and spoils her on normal days, in reality, she doesn’t have much affection for Qi Yuanyuan."
Compared to Qi Yuanyuan, Mo Qingsnow actually prefers her top disciple, Liu Yiyi.
While Mo Qingsnow mostly coddles and spoils Qi Yuanyuan, when it comes to critical moments, she hardly ever defends her. But this time...
"This time, she actually fell out with Elder Mo directly for Qi Yuanyuan. It seems Qi Yuanyuan knows quite a bit."
Elder Mo is Mo Qingsnow’s support, yet this time, she has openly turned against him, and afterwards, she didn’t even attempt to apologize and make amends with Elder Mo, indicating she must have other options.
"If Qi Yuanyuan really knows something, I guess she has two choices, first: to rescue Qi Yuanyuan at all costs, second: to leave the Medical Alliance before the Law Enforcement Hall can pry open Qi Yuanyuan’s mouth," Gu Xiyue said, sipping her tea before raising her eyes to look at Fu Xiyan. "Given the current situation, the likelihood of her choosing to leave the Medical Alliance seems rather high."
Gu Xiyue shared all her guesses with Fu Xiyan, and after hearing them, he nodded, "I will have someone keep an eye on her."
Gu Xiyue: "She’s skilled in using poison, and many of her poisons are extremely violent and peculiar, able to kill a person in a short amount of time. You need to warn your men to be careful."
Fu Xiyan nodded, "Alright."
The next day, to foster some emotional bonding between Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi, Gu Huaijin went to play chess with Mo Canglan after breakfast, leaving Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi time alone.
Gu Xiyue guessed that Gu Zhiqi might like medicinal herbs, so she took Gu Zhiqi to the forest around the Medical Alliance for a stroll.
The trees in the forest blotted out the sky, and being early in the morning, mist filled the air, making everything beyond five meters hazy and indistinct.
The air was moist and fresh, mixed with the fragrance of soil and the scent of the mountain woods; just walking through the forest could refresh one’s mind and invigorate the spirit.
The two of them trekked through the forest, discussing whenever they came across medicinal herbs.
The deeper into the mountain they went, the more precious the plants and trees became. In just two hours, Gu Zhiqi had already seen over a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs.
After roaming the forest for two hours, they changed their route and meandered back toward the Medical Alliance.
"Does the Medical Alliance sell its medicinal herbs?" On the way back, Gu Zhiqi suddenly asked Gu Xiyue this question.
Refining medicine and Fragrance Refining both require herbs, and having a storage bracelet, it’s always good to stock up.
The Medical Alliance has a wide variety of medicinal herbs; being able to buy them here would save a lot of trouble.
Gu Xiyue glanced sideway and asked her, "Do you want to buy medicinal herbs?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "If they are for sale, I wonder if they sell fresh herbs?"
For Alchemy, fresh medicinal herbs are best.
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue pondered for two seconds before saying to Gu Zhiqi, "Once we’re back at the Medical Alliance, I will take you to..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Xiyue’s expression suddenly grew tense, "An ambush."
Gu Zhiqi also sensed a gust of wind approaching. As soon as Gu Xiyue’s words fell, both of them moved. Gu Xiyue did a somersault to dodge the Feather Arrow.
Gu Zhiqi spun her body and also avoided the Feather Arrow.
Although both dodged, the incoming Feather Arrows didn’t cease. Fortunately, both were skilled, and they managed to evade all the arrows.
The Feather Arrows shot for about seven or eight seconds before quickly stopping. Gu Xiyue dodged the last arrow and landed.
Then she realized Gu Zhiqi had disappeared.
