Yin Yin followed Ling Long and walked back to Yinyue Pavilion in a muddled manner.

Jia Qing was still sitting at the desk reading while Sang Ze keeps harassing him on the side. Fortunately, he could still maintain his nonchalant expression.

“Master, you’re back!” Sang Ze saw Yin Yin enter the door and quickly rushed towards her.

Yin Yin looked around the room and asked, “Where is Du Qianqian?”

“She went out just now and haven’t come back yet.” Jia Qing’s voice came from the pile of books.

Ling Long couldn’t help frowning. Prince Luo had told him not to tell Du Qianqian whether he was his daughter or not for the time being. But now that she knows about her identity, what will Du Qianqian do?

While he was thinking like this, Du Qianqian walked in from the outside.

Seeing Yin Yin and Ling Long, she subconsciously paused, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened. “Eldest Miss, Young Master Lin, you’ve come back.”

Ling Long looked at her, and her eyes slightly moved. “Miss Du, you heard our talk with Jia Renyi just now, right?”

Du Qianqian’s face instantly turned pale, and even her breathing seemed a little unstable.

Seeing that she hadn’t spoken, Ling Long continued, “This is the end of the matter. Go back to the capital with me.”

“Back to the capital?” Du Qianqian opened her eyes in surprise, as if she had heard something terrible.

Yin Yin watched her and flattened her mouth. Why bother pretending? Is it necessary to be so surprised? From a country bumpkin to a nouveau riche, aren’t you in a hurry to be happy?

Du Qianqian really put away the surprise on her face. She looked at Ling Long a little distracted. “It’s all up to Young Master Lin.”

She thought about it just now. If she wanted to fight Yin Yin with her current identity and status, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg (attack somebody much stronger than oneself). However, if she is plated with a layer of gold as Lou Wangfu’s little princess, everything will be different.

She glanced at Yin Yin, and there was a sense of ambition in her eyes.

Yin Yin was so surprised by her that the corner’s of her mouth twitched. Why are you showing off? At best, you are an upstart who was suddenly hit by a pie? Are you comparable to a local tyrant like me?

Yin Yin despised Du Qianqian in her heart, and then she remembered that, in fact, she was also an upstart who had gotten rich overnight.

*******

The matter was successfully settled, and they had no reason to stay in Qingmang Mountain. Yin Yin followed Ling Long, and just as her right foot was about to step out of the gate of Yinyue Pavilion, she was stopped by Jia Qing behind her. “Miss Yin.”

Yin Yin turned around questioningly. “What’s the matter?”

“I helped you and you’re leaving just like this?”

Yin Yin: “……”

What does he mean?

Yin Yin’s mouth twitched. Not to mention that you seem to have not helped us at all, but even if you really did, why did you come to me to collect debts?! Shouldn’t you find Ling Long?

She wiped her face and looked at Jia Qing. “Does Divine Doctor Jia wants to treat us to a meal?”

“I’m looking for Seven Star Grass.” Jia Qing didn’t answer the question.

Yin Yin looked at him with her mouth pulled on the corner. “Why do you think that I will have it?”

“There are some on Qingmang Mountain. Please go with me to pick them, Miss Yin.”

Yin Yin: “……”

Seeing the unwillingness in Yin Yin’s eyes, Jia Qing remained unmoved. “It’s just like you have repaid me.”

So! why is it! still me! Ah!!!! ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)

Yin Yin miserably looked at Ling Long.

Ling Long glanced at Jia Qing thoughtfully, then he calmly looked back at Yin Yin. “Then you’ll have to work hard.”

Yin Yin: “……”

Damn it!

For the next two days, Ling Long and Du Qianqian stayed in Jia Qing’s house. Yin Yin was dug out of her bed by Jia Qing early in the morning, then carrying a small basket like a little slave, she followed him up the mountain.

Naturally, Yin Yin didn’t know medicinal herbs. Although she had read a lot of medical books, they were only theoretical knowledge. It was impossible to taste all kinds of herbs like Shennong. (a figure in ancient Chinese legends who taught people to farm and tasted herbs; agriculture and medicine started with him)

So she has only one role – she will pack whatever Jia Qing throws inside the basket. In short, she is a porter.

Every time she thought of this, Yin Yin angrily wanted to smash all the herbs in the basket on Jia Qing’s face.

Why is the dignified eldest lady of Yin Jiazhuang fall to the point of being a coolie for others?

Is it because she has the fate of the female supporting character?!

What was even more hateful is that Du Qianqian was now comfortably brushing up Ling Long’s favorability!

This is simply……

Oh my gosh!

In the end, Yin Yin could only shout out these three words in her heart.

“What’s wrong with Miss Yin?” Jia Qing who was walking in front suddenly turned around and looked at Yin Yin.

Yin Yin shook her head. “Nothing.”

Just a little desperate.

“Oh. Let’s go ahead and have a look. There’s a great possibility of seven star grass growing in the environment over there.”

Yin Yin felt anguished.

She has heard this sentence no less than ten times in the past two days, but let alone that hateful seven star grass, she didn’t even see a seven-spotted ladybug!

After passing through the dense grass in front, Yin Yin suddenly felt a tingling pain in her leg.

“Hiss.” She couldn’t help taking a breath in a low voice. Something seemed to have pricked her ankle.

Yin Yin was about to squat down to check when she heard Jia Qing’s excited voice ringing in front. “It’s Seven Star Grass! I finally found it!”

Yin Yin immediately ran up.

Jia Qing carefully held a herb in his hand. There were seven jagged leaves growing on it. The lines on the leaves were intricate and converge to outline a shape somewhat similar to a five-pointed star.

This is the legendary Seven Star Grass that can detoxify hundreds of poisons?

OMG, great, I finally found you!

She was moved into tears. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Yin Yin followed Jia Qing back to Yinyue Pavilion happily, and was finally liberated from the enslaved hell!

The industrious and brave working people have finally become the master of their own selves.

The Landlord’s debt is cheap!

When Jia Qing found the seven star grass, he hurried to the pill refining room to extract herbs. Yin Yin also hurriedly pulled Ling Long back to Shigu Town on the same day.

However, if she had known what tragic things were awaiting for her there, she would definitely stay in Yinyue Pavilion for another year.

As soon as they came down the mountain, they felt that the atmosphere in Shigu Town was not right.

Obviously, the ghost incident had been resolved, but the street was still surprisingly quiet. It should be said that it’s strange.

It’s not dark yet, so it shouldn’t be like this.

Most importantly, the atmosphere in the whole town was inexplicably depressed. Even the breeze blowing on the face carried a faint murderous air.

Without thinking more, they walked towards Xue’ers house, planning to settle there first tonight.

After turning a corner, they saw that the road ahead was blocked by a tall figure.

It was a man with black clothes and black boots, even the long sword pinned to his waist radiated a strange light like a black pearl. Long black hair danced in the wind, and Yin Yin’s heart was itchy just looking at his back alone.

This posture, it’s absolutely a peerlessly beautiful man!

She couldn’t wait to go around in front of the beautiful man.

Just as she moved her right toe, Ling Long’s eyes swept over and he gently smiled at her.

Yin Yin’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidney trembled one after another in an instant, and then she also gave Ling Long a pure and innocent smile.

“Really want to see it?” Ling Long’s voice was filled with a smile, but it cooled half of Yin Yin’s wolf blood that had just boiled.

“I don’t want to!” Yin Yin answered firmly without hesitation.

“Do you know who that man is?”

“Not interested!”

“He is Mo Lingya.”

The word ‘Mo Lingya’ made the other half of Yin Yin’s wolf blood cold.

Beautiful men are valuable, but life is more expensive.

“Come with me.” The sound of Mo Lingya’s voice came with the cool wind, as cold as a glacier on Changbai Mountain that forever never melts. (volcanic mountain range between Jilin province and North Korea, prominent in Manchu and Korean mythology)

“I won’t.” Gu Chenyan’s voice also came from the front. Yin Yin leaned to the side and saw Gu Chenyan standing in the cold wind facing Mo Lingya.

“You know, I’m not asking for your opinion.” Yin Yin didn’t know if it was only her illusion, she felt that Mo Lingya’s voice sounded colder than before.

She couldn’t help wrapping her coat tighter.

Gu Chenyan sneered. “Yes, when have you ask for other people’s opinion?”

Mo Lingya’s eyebrows moved imperceptibly. “Why escape the marriage?”

“Because I don’t want to marry you.”

“You don’t want to?” Mo Lingya sneered. “Then what do you want to do? Continue to make your perfumes that no one wants at all? Haven’t you gotten enough of the contemptuous look at Jingxiang banquet? I really don’t understand why you are so persistent about this kind of thing. I simply don’t have any idea.”

“Hahahaha.” Gu Chenyan impudently laughed, but there was a trace of sadness in her voice. “Of course you don’t understand. You will never understand!”

Mo Lingya’s expression became gloomy again. “Come with me, I can give you everything.”

Gu Chenyan laughed more wantonly, but a few teardrops came from the corner of her eyes. “What can you give me? Money? Or power? It’s a pity, these have never been what I wanted.”

“Then what do you want?”

“Respect.”

Mo Lingya was taken aback. Gu Chenyan looked at him and smiled sarcastically. “Mo Lingya, you have always liked me as a woman, but you have never wanted to know me as a person. Sure, the fragrance that I make is worthless garbage in your opinion, but each one of them is painstakingly made by me with great effort. Even if others don’t appreciate it, it’s my hard work.”

Mo Lingya looked at Gu Chenyan in silence. Gu Chenyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued, “I also have my dream. I want to be respected by the world like other master perfumers. But what about you? All my efforts are ridiculous in your eyes, aren’t they? Did you know, every time you look at me, it’s like you’re looking at a fool!”

Mo Lingya’s brows furrowed, and finally opened his mouth to argue for himself, “I didn’t.”

“You have!” Gu Chenyan was agitated. Mo Lingya’s eyebrows tightened again. Obviously, he didn’t want to argue with her any more. “You go back with me first.”

“I don’t want to!”

Mo Lingya held the sword in his hand tightly. Yin Yin suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of her eyes, and then a cold object was placed on her neck.

Mo Lingya’s voice rang in Yin Yin’s ears. “If you don’t come with me, I’ll kill her.”

……

Wait, this is not right!!!!!

What does your lovers’ quarrel have to do with me?! I just happened to pass by to make soy sauce!

Yin Yin glanced at the cold sword against her neck from the corner of her eyes. She squeezed out a kind smile to Mo Lingya. “Hey, Leon, have you seen <<This killer is not too cold>>?” (the movie – Leon: The Professional)
