Chapter 94

Yue Heng said solemnly, "Brother Min is my savior and has always taken good care of me. This name card was given to me by him not long ago. May I ask how you should be addressed, miss?"

"I am his sister, and my name is Min Ruogu. Xiao Bai, say hello to Master Yue!" Min Ruogu smiled mischievously.

Before Yue Heng could react, a flash of cold light appeared, and a furry creature pounced over like lightning, sweeping its large tail across Yue Heng's face and grabbing his shoulders with its small paws. It brought its nose close to his cheek, sniffing around, which frightened him so much that he dared not move, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

In a flash, the little weasel returned to hide in Min Ruogu's hair. However, Yue Heng knew that this weasel with lightning speed must have a high level of spiritual awareness and would closely monitor anyone who had ill intentions toward Min Ruogu.

"Truly... a cute little weasel..." Yue Heng managed to squeeze out this compliment, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Min Ruogu chuckled, glanced at Yue Heng's expression, and teased, "Don't try to flatter Xiao Bai; she won't fall for it! Tell me, what do you want with my brother? He is on Spirit Vulture Mountain and hasn't returned yet."

Yue Heng stroked his chin and said somewhat embarrassedly, "If possible, I would like to ask about the principles of the Revitalizing Array..."

Min Ruogu stopped, turned around, and carefully examined him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes darting around. Suddenly, she produced a long golden needle from somewhere.

"Master Yue, if possible, could you let me examine your pulse? I am also a second-level spirit physician, and I specialize in acupuncture."

Min Ruogu blinked and looked at Yue Heng with a smile, continuing to persuade him, "Since you are my brother's friend, you are also my friend. How about letting me give you a few needles? If you have a disease, I'll treat it for free; if you don't, it's even better. If you let me examine your pulse, I'll tell you the secret of the Revitalizing Array, okay?"

Yue Heng was frightened by the long golden needle but, with the cunning little girl using the secret of the Revitalizing Array as leverage and Xiao Bai's threatening presence, he could only grit his teeth and extend his left hand, his face pale.

Min Ruogu giggled, took his hand, and with her left hand, held his pulse point while her right hand swiftly inserted several needles. Instantly, Yue Heng felt his body lose control, becoming completely numb except for his brain, unable to move!

"Bad! This little girl is cheating! 'Life'!"

Yue Heng was extremely anxious, filled with regret. He must have been too careless!

The "Life" rune spontaneously arose in his mind, and a powerful vitality overflowed from his divine palace, entering his entire meridian system, protecting his vital heart and lungs.

"Huh? Oh? Eh? Ah!" Min Ruogu, her fingers pressing on Yue Heng's pulse point, had a complex expression, her confusion gradually turning into deep thought. After thoroughly examining Yue Heng, a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"So that's it! I wondered why my brother, known as 'Min the Cold-Faced,' would befriend a scholar without any reason..." Min Ruogu muttered to herself. She was extremely intelligent and, upon sensing the vitality in Yue Heng's body, immediately understood her brother's intentions.

Yue Heng stood there like a wooden goose, the powerful "Life" rune unable to resolve his numbness. The golden needles must have stimulated his blood and meridians, but without causing any physical harm, the "Life" rune was ineffective.

Knowing he was not in mortal danger, he forced a smile and asked, "Miss Min, have you seen enough?"

Min Ruogu circled around him a few times, patted him a few times, and said with a smile, "Alright! Big Brother Yue, it turns out you have such powerful vitality in your body. No wonder you asked about the principles of the Revitalizing Array. Now I understand."

Yue Heng rubbed his numb arm and said with a forced smile, "Yes, I am a scholar and am also interested in arrays."

Min Ruogu blinked, raised her hand, and Xiao Bai obediently lay in her delicate hand, enjoying her caress with its eyes closed.

"Big Brother Yue, you are an array master, right? My garden array has some issues. Could you help me check it out?" Min Ruogu looked at Yue Heng with an innocent expression, pleading pitifully.

Yue Heng dared not agree so easily now.

This little devil was too unpredictable. Could this so-called array be another trick? He had only been studying arrays for a few days!

But now that he needed her help, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go along with it!

Min Ruogu hummed a song as she led the way, her left hand holding her basket, her right hand swinging a small branch, her steps light and nimble like a clever little deer.

Yue Heng followed behind, looking around. The garden was not far from the thatched cottage, with a high fence blocking the view, the sunlight nourishing, and the rain abundant.

When they reached the garden, Min Ruogu deactivated the array entrance and entered first, saying sadly, "Big Brother Yue, a few days ago, there was a rolling thunderstorm, which might have damaged the array. The spirit-gathering effect has greatly decreased, and many of the spirit herbs and plants in the garden have withered..."

Yue Heng pretended to look around. The garden was full of plants and flowers he did not recognize, categorized and arranged in different sections, like a modern vegetable demonstration greenhouse.

"Um, let me take a look..." Yue Heng released his divine sense, trying to connect with the array to identify the problem.

However, the garden array was too large, and Min Ruogu did not tell him where the array's core was or what kind of array it was. No matter how hard he tried to release his divine sense, it was impossible to cover the entire garden.

"Miss Min, may I walk around the garden?" Yue Heng asked, his face slightly red, feeling embarrassed.

Min Ruogu blinked, suddenly laughed, and with a wave of her hand, Xiao Bai flew over and perched on Yue Heng's shoulder. She raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Let Xiao Bai lead the way!"

Clearly, she was letting Xiao Bai monitor him!

Yue Heng turned his head, feeling both amused and exasperated. The little creature on his shoulder was staring at him intently, as if warning him not to have any ideas about the plants and herbs in the garden.

He finally managed to walk around the garden, his divine sense passing over the entire array. With his current cultivation, he could not identify where the array had gone wrong, so he returned awkwardly, standing in the middle of the garden's watering area, staring at a small tree with drooping leaves and withered green fruits.

"Let's try the 'Spring' rune. The oracle bone script for 'Spring' means the revival of all things. I wonder if it will help this little tree!"

Yue Heng made up his mind, calmed down, and summoned the "Spring" rune from his divine palace.

Blue light flickered, and a vast spring-like aura emanated from Yue Heng's body, spreading through the garden with unimaginable speed. The energy within Yue Heng's body surged like a breached river, causing him to be greatly alarmed!
