The Evil Emperor's Beloved

"Of course, more than just knowing each other, look..." Leng Tianchao pursed his lips and motioned Nan Yuhong to look at Jing Yueli, "Yueli is your brother's junior sister!"

"What? Junior Sister! Are you the genius alchemist that Yufeng always talks about?"

"Is he the only alchemist in Yunhai College who can make top-grade elixirs?"

"No, it should be said that he is the only alchemist in the entire Xuanyue Continent who can refine top-grade elixirs!"

"Before, I only knew that Yufeng had a very powerful junior sister, but I didn't know her surname and name. It's also my fault that I'm away from home for many years. I only heard my father mention her when I went back last time." Nan Yuhong grabbed Jing Yueli's arm excitedly and spoke incoherently.

Jing Yueli glared at Leng Tianchao, then smiled awkwardly and pulled back her arm. Being watched by so many people, she said a little embarrassedly, "Well, thank you for the compliment. It's not as exaggerated as they say. I just know how to make pills."

"Since you are Senior Brother Yufeng's brother, then we are family!" Leng Tianchao smiled and patted Nan Yuhong's shoulder.

"Yes, we're one of our own! I only knew that you were from Yunhai College, but I didn't expect that you also knew Yufeng." Nan Yuhong also nodded with a smile.

In an instant, the distance between them was shortened a lot.

"Then...I'll leave that spiritual herb to my junior sister!" Nan Yuhong said happily to Jing Yueli.

"Huh? Oh! Okay, don't worry. If I have any news, I will tell Senior Brother Yufeng directly." The topic jumped a little too quickly. They were just talking about recognizing relatives, and suddenly they were talking about spiritual herbs. Jing Yueli didn't react for a while.

"Does Senior Brother Yufeng have an older brother? Why haven't I heard him mention him!" Jing Yueli muttered.

Although Jing Yueli's voice was not loud, Nan Yuhong still heard it.

"Maybe it's because of some reasons that Yufeng never mentioned me." Nan Yuhong smiled. He didn't care much about it. "However, I am lucky to meet you this time. If there is a chance in the future, you are all welcome to visit the City Lord's Mansion of Huanyue City."

"Of course, of course." Everyone echoed.

Jing Yueli: "...Hehe...Hehe..."

......

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.

Jing Yueli later learned more about this magical herb from Nan Yuhong.

It turned out that Nan Yuhong had seen this magical herb by chance in an ancient book, but the description of the efficacy of this magical herb in the book was vague.

"I hope you can find some useful clues from this." Nan Yuhong looked at Jing Yueli expectantly.

"I will try my best, but I don't know what you are going to use this spiritual herb for?"

Speaking of this, Nan Yuhong's expression became noticeably depressed.

"If...it's inconvenient, you can just not say it." Seeing Nan Yuhong was in trouble, Jing Yueli wanted to change the subject.

Nan Yuhong was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This spiritual herb is related to my mother's condition."

Jing Yueli's heart skipped a beat. "I wonder what disease my aunt has? Why have I never heard Senior Brother Yufeng mention it?"

"Just let us know if you need anything, as long as we can help."

The main thing is that she never knew what disease Nan Yufeng's mother had! ? Nan Yufeng really kept it a secret!

Nan Yuhong looked at Jing Yueli gratefully, "I can't tell the specific cause of the disease. Ever since the battle between mother and father, her health has been getting worse and worse." Nan Yuhong frowned, his face full of worry, "I have consulted many alchemists but they were helpless until I found the record of this spiritual herb in ancient books, and then I came here to look for it with a glimmer of hope."

Jing Yueli nodded, indicating that she understood. It was not appropriate for an outsider like her to continue asking questions. "Don't worry, if this spiritual herb really has an effect on aunt's illness, I will do my best."

Nan Yuhong smiled bitterly, "Thank you."

The two said no more and continued on their way.

That night, while everyone was resting, Jing Yueli entered the space and planted the spiritual herb that Nan Yuhong gave her into the spiritual field, so that she could use it anytime she needed it in the future.

Jing Yueli went to the Trial Tower and read a lot of books, but there was almost no record about that spiritual herb.

There are several similar records, just like what Nan Yuhong said before, they are just similar in characteristics of the spiritual herbs, but have no effect at all.

"Hey!"

Jing Yueli couldn't help but sigh.

Jing Yueli decided to leave the space first, and then go back to ask her master if he knew anything, after all, he was knowledgeable.

Jing Yueli left the space and lay back in her tent. Perhaps because she was too tired during this period of time, she fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, as soon as Jing Yueli came out of the tent, she saw Nan Yuhong standing outside her tent. It seemed that he had been waiting for quite a long time.

Nan Yuhong looked embarrassed, as if there was something he couldn't talk about.

Jing Yueli asked doubtfully: "Brother Nan, is there something wrong?"

Since Nan Yuhong is Nan Yufeng's brother, Jing Yueli and his group call Nan Yuhong "Big Brother Nan".

Nan Yuhong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Yueli, if you are in trouble about that spiritual herb, you can tell Brother Nan, I can think of other ways."

When he was resting last night, he thought about it and felt that he was too impulsive during the day. How could he put such a difficult thing on Jing Yueli alone? So, this happened.

Jing Yueli understood Nan Yuhong's concerns and answered readily, "Don't worry, Brother Nan, I will let you know if there are any difficulties. Besides, such a spiritual herb is also a challenge for me. I am so happy."

Jing Yueli patted Nan Yuhong's arm soothingly and said, "Don't worry, don't feel sorry for me, it's okay."

Seeing that Jing Yueli didn't seem to be pretending, Nan Yuhong's worries all night finally came to an end, and he thanked Jing Yueli repeatedly.

Jing Yueli smiled back and consoled him, "We are all family, no need to be so polite. It's getting late now, pack up and get ready to go."

"Okay!" Nan Yuhong said goodbye and left. Jing Yueli looked at his back and sighed secretly in her heart. He was also worried about his mother's illness.

After Nan Yuhong turned and left, Jing Yueli also began to pack up.

On the rest of the journey, Jing Yueli spent almost all her time in the tent whenever she had time to rest. She also focused more on studying the spiritual herb, including the one she had dug up herself. She always felt that there was some connection between them.

Along the way, Nan Yuhong became more attentive and would come close to Jing Yueli from time to time.

It attracted other people's attention from time to time.

Seeing him like this, Jing Yueli occasionally revealed the information she had found to him. At the same time, Nan Yuhong also told Jing Yueli in more detail about his mother's illness over the years to see if it could help her better understand the spiritual herb.
