In an instant, Ling Xuewei noticed a slight change in the expressions of the two people in front of her.
Especially the man in front of her was staring straight at her face, with unpredictable emotions in his eyes, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
Surprise flashed in Cui Lao's eyes, and then he frowned in confusion.
"Mr. Cui, please go out."
When the man spoke, Cui Lao saluted and left.
Ling Xuewei was confused, could they know her?
After thinking about it again, I thought it was impossible, so I gave up.
After Mr. Cui left, the house became quiet again.
After a moment, the man spoke again, "What deal do you want to make with me?"
"To be honest, I went to Wanbaotang this time for the Star Grass and Jade Coral. If you can give me the jade coral, I can give you what you want most." Ling Xuewei's tone was full of temptation.
"What do I want most? That's a big statement. Tell me, what do I want?" The man raised his eyebrows.
Ling Xuewei put down her tea cup and said with deep meaning, "For example, poison-resolving pill."
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, "Can you give me the poison pill?"
"yes."
"If you want to refine the poison elixir, you need jade coral. How can you make me believe that you don't want to take away the jade coral in this way?" the man said.
"Young Master is right, but what about this?" After saying this, Ling Xuewei took out a bottle and put it on the table.
The man glanced at the bottle, picked it up, opened the cap and looked into the bottle. For a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Twenty heart-protecting pills, is this enough?" Ling Xuewei said slowly.
The Heart-Protect Pill is a middle-grade Yuan Pill. Although it is not as valuable as the Poison-Reducing Pill, it is still a rare pill.
The man's body is extremely poisonous, and if he has these heart-protecting pills, it will be absolutely effective.
No wonder the young man in front of me has the confidence to do business with him.
Being able to take out twenty heart-protecting pills at once seems like he has some abilities.
"Okay, I can promise you, but I have a condition." The man said.
Ling Xuewei pondered for a moment and said, "Please tell me."
"I need to know the identity of the person who made the alchemy."
Ling Xuewei frowned, "Sorry, I can't promise you this."
The man put down the bottle and said, "You have to know that the person I trust is you. If I don't even know the identity of the person who made the elixir for me, how can I safely hand over the precious jade coral to him?"
"I don't think there is any conflict between the two. Since the young master trusts me, he should understand that I will not randomly find someone I don't trust to do this. After all, if there is any accident with the poison pill, it will not be good for me, right?
?”
Ling Xuewei didn't want to expose her identity as an alchemist. The identity of the man in front of her was unknown. Once he found out, she didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.
The man took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I don't have to ask about the identity of the person who made the alchemy, but he must make it under the supervision of my people, otherwise, the transaction will be void."
Ling Xuewei frowned, didn't she still need to show up?
If you are not careful, her identity will still be exposed.
"He doesn't need to reveal his identity. You and I only need to discuss a location and my people will go there. Until the elixir is refined and my people check it and it is correct, they will leave," the man added.
Ling Xuewei pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Okay, I agree. However, I have to take 30% of the jade coral."
The man curled his lips slightly and said, "Deal."
Just like that, a deal was concluded.
"I wonder what you call me?"
The man said calmly, "Nan Shengyu."
Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly and she said, "I'm Ling Feng."
…
In this way, Ling Xuewei left the bottle of elixir, made a three-day appointment with the man, and then left the other courtyard.
After Ling Xuewei left, Nan Shengyu looked at the bottle on the table, thoughtfully.
"Master, why did you tell her your real name?" Mr. Cui came to him and asked.
Nan Shengyu played with the medicine bottle and answered the question, "Mr. Cui, don't you think he looks like the same person?"
"Master, do you mean Mr. Si?"
"Well, not only the facial features, but also the temperament are similar."
"It's a bit like, when he took off the black cloth just now, the old slave was also startled." Mr. Cui recalled the appearance of the young man just now, but he was still frightened.
Nan Shengyu narrowed his eyes, stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside. After a moment, he said, "Mr. Cui, let someone check his identity."
"Yes, I'll do it now, old slave."
"If he is really related to the Si family, then she will take action after hearing my name." Nan Shengyu tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
Mr. Cui was surprised, "Is that why the young master told him his name? Isn't this too risky?"
"If she is really related to the Si family, it would not be in vain for me to come here." Nan Shengyu murmured, with an unreadable expression on his face.
…
Ling Xuewei left the other courtyard and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
When Yu Wenxuan heard the news of her return, he immediately rushed to Zhaixing Pavilion.
"You're back? If you don't come back, I will take people to find you."
Ling Xuewei had just changed her clothes and came out when she saw Yu Wenxuan sitting in her room.
"What can happen to me?"
"What's more, didn't you go find the person who took away the jade coral?"
Ling Xuewei made a move, looked at Yu Wenxuan with a treacherous face, raised her eyebrows slightly, "You are quite smart."
Yu Wenxuan smiled and said, "I'm not smart, but I know you too well. How about it? Is there any progress in the Jade Coral matter?"
Ling Xuewei sat down, took the tea he poured and drank it slowly, "Absolutely."
"From what you say, there should be no problem. Isn't that mysterious man a simple man? At least my people haven't found out his identity yet." Yu Wenxuan looked worried.
Ling Xuewei said, "Indeed, there are many masters around him. When I passed by, I happened to encounter a wave of sneak attacks. They were all easily eliminated by his entourage. His identity is by no means unusual."
"I don't know if such a person appears in Xiliang, whether it is good or bad." Yu Wenxuan was worried.
"You don't need to worry too much. According to my judgment, they won't stay in Xiliang for too long."
Listening to their conversation, these people came here to detoxify Nan Shengyu, and hearing that they mentioned the 'secular world', Ling Xuewei suspected that they might be from the Middle Earth.
If it is true as she suspected, then they will not stay here for too long.
"Really? These are troubled times. If other forces appear for no reason, the situation in Xiliang will be even more unpredictable."
Yu Wenxuan had to consider the overall situation, especially on the eve of his departure from Xiliang.
"By the way, where is Yu Wenhao? Has he left?" Ling Xuewei looked around
"Well, I said I would come over to see you tomorrow. I didn't expect that in just a few days, my seventh brother would be so partial to you. It makes my fifth brother feel jealous." Yu Wenxuan said in a pretentious manner.
Ling Xuewei ignored his teasing, walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and with a swipe of the pen, gave him the list of medicinal materials she had just written.
"This is the medicinal material I need. Give it to me tomorrow and I will refine the Bodhi Pill for you within three days."
Yu Wenxuan took it and took a quick look at it. He found that most of the medicinal materials were not difficult to find, except for one or two that were rare.
But for Yu Wenxuan, it is not difficult to find it.
He put the paper away and nodded, "Okay, I'll go find it immediately. Now that you have the whereabouts of Jade Coral, what are you going to do next?"
Ling Xuewei said, "I made a deal with that person. Three days later, I will refine the poison elixir for him. In exchange, I will take out 30% of the jade coral."
"What? You want to make elixirs for him? Does he know your identity?" Yu Wenxuan couldn't help but be surprised.
"I didn't tell him directly. He was very careful. No matter what, he had to make alchemy under the control of his people. So we agreed on a location and his people would protect it. I will take people there when the time comes." Ling Xuewei sighed.
Take a breath.
Yu Wenxuan frowned, "Wouldn't that probably expose you?"
"Maybe, and I think he has begun to doubt me. But suspicion and certainty are two different things, so I will still do what I need to do. Even if it is really exposed, I won't be caught off guard."
Yu Wenxuan pondered, "What are your plans? If you need help, just ask."
"I really need your help. After all, there are very few people I can trust here."
"you say."
"We are like this..."
The next day, Yu Wenxuan found all the medicinal materials, and Ling Xuewei stayed behind closed doors and started refining elixirs.
In order not to be disturbed, Yu Wenxuan specially sent many guards to surround the Zhaixing Tower. He personally sat in the courtyard of Zhaixing Tower for the whole day.
Later, until Yu Wenhao came, Yu Wenxuan did not leave.
The two simply sat together in the courtyard all night.
The next day, when Ling Xuewei stepped out of the room, she saw the faces of Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wenhao.
Knowing that they were worried about her, Ling Xuewei suddenly felt warm in her heart.
Yu Wenxuan was relieved when he saw that she came out safe and sound, and ordered someone to prepare breakfast, and the three of them sat together and ate.
"Oh Weiwei, you don't know, last night, Fifth Brother and I sat in the courtyard all night and we were starved to death! Fifth Brother's behavior is completely abusive, you have to talk to him!" Yu Wenhao did not forget to come up.
Complain.
Yu Wenxuan glared at him, "What's more, you ate three large plates of snacks this night, and you're still hungry?"
"Hey, those snacks are just enough to fill my teeth!"
This unscrupulous brother made Yu Wenxuan shake his head helplessly, not wanting to be like him, and looked at Ling Xuewei, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Ling Xuewei was busy devouring her food and solving the things in front of her at the speed of light, "Hmm... don't worry... bah, bah, everything goes well..."
"Eat slowly, there is still a lot more."
Yu Wenxuan filled a bowl of oatmeal porridge for her and handed it to her. Ling Xuewei took it and drank it.
There was nothing she could do about it. Every time she finished refining the elixir, she would consume a lot of mental energy, her body would be very tired, and she would get hungry easily.
Therefore, she needs a lot of food to replenish her energy. Xiao Yifeng has long been used to it, but Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wenhao were surprised.
Seeing her taking almost all the food on the table, I couldn't help but admire her amazing fighting ability.
After a moment, Ling Xuewei touched her bulging belly and finally put down her chopsticks.
