Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 129 Tacit understanding

If it weren't for so many unfortunate events, he might already be an official in the court, with a title and privileges bestowed upon his wife and children!

I see! !

Junior brother, how dare you think of such a thing?! Even storybooks wouldn't dare to write something like this!

Gu Qingyue certainly dared to dream. She was just a wisp of soul, and from another world at that. What was impossible for her?

"Help me make an appointment with Master Qian. We need to teach Qian Zhengdao a lesson, or else do you think I, this little miracle doctor, am a pushover?" Gu Qingyue leaned back in her chair, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"What if things aren't as you think?" Liu Feng was uncertain.

Gu Qingyue said with her nose in the air, "Then we should teach Qian Zhengdao a lesson. Wouldn't it be better to team up with the tragic male lead and deal with his rival?"

Liu Feng has already withered away.

Mu Yun Chu's face was also blank at this moment.

"Where did you think she went last night?" Mu Yun Chu's voice was as cold as ice.

Mu Xi was sweating profusely. He cupped his hands and said in a shaky voice, "Bamboo Ritual Hall."

The wait felt like an eternity; the room was practically ice-cold.

Mu Xi finally heard her master's next question, "Why go there?"

"Your subordinate, I couldn't find out anything. Doctor Gu has a very keen sense of smell, so it's not easy for me to get close. Besides, the Gu residence is heavily guarded, so I'll just wait outside the Gu residence."

Mu Yun Chu remained silent for a long while, then sighed.

"It's alright, you can go now. Mu Nan, go find Qing Yue and ask her what happened and if she needs any help."

Seeing Mu Yun Chu's face turn completely black, Mu Nan quickly headed towards the Gu residence.

An hour later, Mu Nan returned.

He recounted the attack on the Gu residence, the fact that the Bamboo Pavilion had hired someone to kill him, and the strange things Gu Qingyue had discovered about the Bamboo Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, the room instantly felt refreshed.

Mu Nan felt that he could breathe more easily.

He had just visited the Gu residence and met with Doctor Gu's senior brother in the front hall. Liu Feng described the story vividly, which infuriated even him.

He rescued someone and ended up being assassinated by someone hired by someone else; that Manager Zhou is truly a scoundrel.

"Arrest that Manager Zhou, interrogate him thoroughly, and find out who's behind it all."

Mu Yun Chu's voice was clear and calm, drifting over slowly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan quickly replied, "He was arrested by Doctor Gu's men last night, and he should still be in her hands."

Mu Yun Chu was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on her lips.

Well, this little girl is really to his liking. "Then let's leave her alone for now and take action if needed."

Mu Nan nodded quickly. It seemed that their master really cared about Doctor Gu. He would have to be even more clever in the future.

In the afternoon, at Wenxianglou.

Gu Qingyue, dressed in a refreshing manner, entered Wenxianglou through the back door. She had already made an appointment with Qian Jingxuan.

Pushing open the door, I was surprised to find Qian Jingxuan already sitting leisurely at the tea table, waiting for me with great ease.

Gu Qingyue cupped her hands slightly and said, "Mr. Qian, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

Qian Jingxuan looked up when he heard the voice and met a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling but were not, shimmering yet full of scrutiny.

This is Gu Qingyue? The Little Divine Doctor?

It would be a lie to say that Qian Jingxuan wasn't shocked.

This seemingly young boy stood ramrod straight, his imposing presence no less than that of an adult.

And those excessively beautiful eyes actually concealed a worldly wisdom that even she couldn't see through.

This is no ordinary person; that was his first impression.

She really did change her appearance last night! Her voice, height, and figure remained the same.

He quickly stood up. "Nice to meet you, Young Master Yue."

As soon as the two sat down, Qian Jingxuan spoke first, "I apologize for neglecting Young Master Yue last night."

Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "Call me Doctor Gu."

Qian Jingxuan nodded, "I've long admired Dr. Gu. I've heard that Dr. Gu's medical skills are superb. Heroes have always emerged from among the young. You're truly remarkable."

Whether it was from the heart or not, Gu Qingyue still appreciated this statement.

"No problem, I'm sure Mr. Qian has guessed why I asked you to meet me, right?" Gu Qingyue didn't intend to beat around the bush.

"Is Steward Zhou in Doctor Gu's hands?" Upon hearing this, Master Qian's lips curled into a playful smile.

Gu Qingyue nodded. "He hired someone to kill me, I need to know why."

"Oh, now that you know, what does Doctor Gu plan to do? Is there anything I can do to help?" Qian Jingxuan's smile became even more sincere.

"Is Mr. Qian really willing to help? Of course, I would be delighted," Gu Qingyue said, picking up her teacup and pouring two cups of fresh tea, the aroma of which wafted through the air.

"Of course, I will keep my word." Qian Jingxuan picked up his teacup, staring intently into Gu Qingyue's meaningful eyes, his tone firm.

"Oh," Gu Qingyue smiled and took a sip of tea, raising her eyebrows. "I heard that the guests slept well at Zhuli Pavilion. Your hospitality at Zhuli Pavilion is excellent."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jingxuan slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing no panic.

He gazed at Gu Qingyue quietly for a few moments, then lowered his eyes slightly and said, "After all, not everyone wants to walk this path, right? But fate has forced us to enter the Bamboo Ritual Hall, so we must find some way to survive in the long run."

Gu Qingyue stared intently at Qian Jingxuan's handsome face, which was tinged with a hint of gloom, and felt relieved.

"I see."

In other words, Qian Jingxuan tacitly approved of the teenagers who drugged the guests and put them to sleep.

Those teenagers were also pitiful people.

So, did Steward Zhou actually know about these things?

In any case, Steward Zhou is doomed to die this time.

Gu Qingyue raised her hand again to fill Qian Jingxuan's teacup with tea, then raised her hand in a toast, saying, "It's been a pleasure working with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you," Qian Jingxuan said with a satisfied smile.

Looking into Qian Jingxuan's eyes, which were faintly shining with excitement, she finally felt relieved.

The two exchanged a solemn glance, their tacit understanding going without saying.

It was quite late when they returned to the Gu residence, but Gu Qingyue slept soundly.

The next morning, Gu Qingyue mounted her horse and went to gather herbs.

The rest is up to Liu Feng and Master Qian. I'm sure the two of them will come up with a good idea to deal with Steward Zhou and Qian Zhengdao, these two major threats.

three days later.

Gu Qingyue entered the depths of Plum Valley Mountain. Exhausted, she found a secluded spot and entered her spatial dimension.

As soon as she entered, she saw a large field of lush, green herbs, which made her teeth ache.

why?

Because she has to harvest it herself, she can't control it with her mind.

Ugh, what's going on? It's kind of tragic.

But thinking about it, isn't her complaining a case of getting a good deal and then acting innocent?

It's also called greed. You're not satisfied even after getting such a huge benefit. Alas, you've become bad.

Whoosh—the little fox darted over from the moon. Lately, this guy has been having a blast.

She only found it on the first day she went up the mountain. This guy has been searching for poisonous creatures in the mountains every day, and she doesn't know if he has become more powerful.

"You stinky fox! Have you rested enough? You'll have to work hard for me later, so don't even think about slacking off," Gu Qingyue took it in her hands, stroked its fluffy body, and was quite satisfied with its performance over the past three days.

However, thinking about how much this guy had eaten in the past three days, she felt like crying again.

In three days, he ate at least ten venomous snakes, all of which were extremely poisonous.

It gave me goosebumps. Who would have thought that this fluffy, cute little thing had such a terrifying appetite?

If it's cultivation, shouldn't it have advanced by now?

She picked up the little guy and examined him closely for a long time, but apart from seeing an arrogant and disdainful look in his eyes, she saw nothing else.

Its body hasn't changed, it hasn't grown bigger, it hasn't gained weight, etc., but its fur seems to be redder and shinier, does that count?

After a moment, Gu Qingyue sighed. She probably read too many fantasy novels.

He tossed the little guy aside and headed toward the medicinal herbs piled up in the yard.

In three days, she actually found three rare medicinal herbs. Of course, this was mainly thanks to the little fox, plus her own mental search ability, so her skills were not wasted.

One last ingredient is needed.

We've been searching for two days now, and there might not be any left in these mountains.

It's already noon today, and she's decided that if she still can't find it by this time tomorrow, she'll go back first, since she still has patients to take care of.

After resting in the space for a while, he came out again, carrying the little fox in his hand.

Looking around and seeing no one, Gu Qingyue mustered her strength and tossed the little fox into the distant forest, then followed after it.

"Ah-------, who is it?"

A man's scream came from afar.

"Ha-----Red Fox!" The man's excited shout followed.

Oh no, someone got hit!
