After a cup of tea, two young women in red came out of the secret passage. They were not wearing hats and had pretty faces. Upon closer inspection, they were three times more beautiful than the girl from the Helian family. For a moment, Master Li was stunned.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the bright moon quietly climbed up to the treetops. The silver light shone directly into the cave through the top, making the two jade-like faces in red makeup even more soft and beautiful, as bright as the sun.

"Hanlian."

"Fleur."

"Greetings to the Grand Master, Lady Mu."

The two women bowed respectfully. They glanced at Mu Yao who was leaning against the wall and were both stunned. But soon, they came back to their senses one after another.

Handan suppressed her surprise, smiled, and took out a bone china medicine bottle as long as a little finger from her bosom, poured out two emerald green pills and handed them to Li Changan: "Master, these are bamboo dew pills, which can relieve fatigue. Please take them with you and Miss Mu."

Li Changan secretly took a breath.

This... This is a rare and refreshing medicine! One... Let him think about it. Two years ago in the Treasure Pavilion, just one green pill was auctioned for a high price of 8.6 million taels, and finally it was won by the old man of the Floating Light Pavilion.

Thinking of this, he could not help but glance at the bone china bottle in Handan's hand. There were at least ten of them in it. Wow! A sum of hundreds of millions of taels!

Li Changan took the "Bamboo Dew Pill" calmly and said kindly, "Thank you, ladies. Who are you?"

Handan and Furong looked at each other silently, then said with a smile, "Master, we are the maids in the pavilion, and we are here on the orders of the Pavilion Master to take you to Youhuang to rest for a while.

Hearing what the two said, Li Changan's heart became uneasy. The noble lady of Dayun was not a slave or a maid, even those aunts working in the palace were of status and rank and enjoyed court salaries. Maids? He was surprised, but he would never associate these two beautiful girls with a bloodthirsty killer like Lu Shen.

Mu Yao half-closed her beautiful eyes and looked closely at the two women in front of her. She had a straight posture, a firm gaze, no unnecessary movements in her gestures, and a steady voice, obviously a martial artist.

"Dad." Mu Yao called her father weakly.

Li Changan quickly regained his composure, carefully placed the "Bamboo Dew Pill" in his daughter's hand and whispered, "Yaoyao, this is Bamboo Dew Pill, a good medicine for relieving fatigue and refreshing the brain." After saying that, he tapped her palm with a little force.

Mu Yao nodded in understanding and took a pill.

The pills were real. The moment Handan took them out, she smelled a strong fragrance of bamboo leaves and mint. Besides, there was no need for "Wuming" to embarrass them at this moment.

After three breaths, Mu Yao felt refreshed, strong and powerful, and even had her blood boiling. Even her stomach felt much warmer, and her previous hunger was gone.

The strong minty flavor lingered in her mouth for a long time. She silently wrote down the forty-eight medicinal herbs she tasted, which would be very helpful for her to improve the quality of the Qi Gathering Pills.

"Dad, you eat too." Mu Yao had recovered and urged her father to take it as soon as possible. He had walked nearly half a marathon today and must be exhausted.

Seeing that his daughter recovered so quickly, Li Changan was even more reluctant to take the medicine.

Mu Yao seemed to see through his thoughts. She quickly picked up the remaining one in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. Li Changan felt heartbroken when he recalled this incident many years later.

"Please lead the way, ladies." Mu Yao said politely. Don't hit someone who smiles at you, don't scold someone who gives you a gift, especially since they are two girls. Mu Yao didn't need to embarrass them.

On the way, Li Changan quietly told Mu Yao the price of "Zhu Lu Wan", which surprised her. Either "Wuming" was too arrogant, or he was in the wrong. After thinking about it, the first possibility was more likely, after all, the person hadn't shown up yet, right?

They and the two beauties once again shuttled through the "Lingshui Spring". After about two cups of tea, the view suddenly became clear. Several clear streams crisscrossed, and colorful flowers slowly floated on the water. The breeze blew on their faces, rippling the water, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

The wooden arch bridge not far away and the "Secluded Bamboo" hidden among the bamboos seem like a paradise, independent of the world.

"Are they in there?" Mu Yao asked.

Handan replied respectfully, "Don't worry, Miss Mu. Please rest here for a while and have some food. The master will be here soon."

Furong saw that Handan hadn't said it right, so she quickly said, "My Lord, you didn't know that your daughter had this disease. Originally, across that narrow road was one of our halls, where there are beautiful mountains and rivers, birds singing and flowers blooming, which is a hundred times more beautiful than here." She also wanted to say that my Lord had prepared several carts of gifts to show his sincerity to Master Li. But time was short and they were still on the way.

Li Changan was very satisfied with Wuming's arrangement. Even though he had taken the Bamboo Dew Pill, he wanted to take a break and sip some hot tea. He looked at Furong and asked, "You told us all the halls in the pavilion, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Furong chuckled softly and said, "It doesn't matter. After today, that place will no longer exist."

The bamboo forest is bright and elegant.

There was a row of bookshelves nearly ten feet high on the east and west bamboo walls, with all kinds of books on them. Li Changan took a look and saw a lot of foreign documents and strange records, which instantly aroused his interest. He picked up a book and sat aside to read it.

The house is fully furnished, including finely crafted bamboo and wooden lounge chairs and Luohan beds, as well as a huge hollow bamboo and wooden bed.

The eight-immortal table and three long tables were filled with all kinds of exquisite food. Mu Yao silently counted, there were twelve dishes, eight fruit dishes, and two pots of jade wine. This layout did not look like a hostage exchange at all, but more like a welcoming banquet, which made Mu Yao unsure of the man's intentions.

At the moment, she didn't have much time to rest and eat, she just wanted to exchange Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng as soon as possible. And Wuming's behavior made her feel as if he was deliberately delaying time.

"I want to see Lord Wang and Master Liu first." Mu Yao urgently needed to confirm their current situation.

Handan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lady. They are both fine. You have come here today as promised. Lord Wang and Manor Master Liu will surely return safely. Please have your meal and rest first, my lady and the Master."

After leaving the house, Furong approached and whispered, "How could you talk nonsense to the lady?"

Handan disapproved and said, "Those two people's faces are not scratched, and their limbs are intact, they are fine, aren't they? How can you talk nonsense!" After saying that, she snorted coldly and the two of them disappeared without a trace.

"Yaoyao, come and have some. This dish tastes good and is still hot, as if it was just out of the pot." Li Changan has already eaten with relish. However, he did not touch a drop of the fine wine on the table, but brewed a pot of "Mengding Ganlu" for himself. Good tea! A rare good tea! Although it is not as expensive as "Tianshan Snow" and "Yulongjing", the taste is not much different. He couldn't help but be curious about "Wuming". This tea is the official tea of ​​Nanyue Kingdom. When he was young, he visited Nanyue and tasted it several times. I didn't expect that after decades, I can still taste this flavor. When Dayun and Nanyue had a good relationship in the past, "Mengding Ganlu" was not difficult to drink. Now that the relationship with them is tense, Emperor Qingyuan hates everything about Nanyue, not to mention the official tea there, and everyone in the court has consciously abandoned this tea.

"Dad, what do you think he meant?" It was already dusk, and no one was in sight. Mu Yao was almost losing her patience.

"It's a show of goodwill." Master Li said slowly.

"Didn't he want to see me? I'm already here, what else does he have to worry about? Turtle bastard."

This was the first time Li Changan heard his daughter swearing, and his eyebrows slightly raised. A girl with a good temper should have been like this a long time ago.

He swallowed the fragrant tea in his mouth and said with a smile: "He is trying to show goodwill to dad. Come over here and have a few bites to fill your stomach. Dad is here to help you. Don't worry." Since "Wuming" is willing to take a step, it means he has at least two steps to take.

The moonlight is hazy and there is a cool breeze.

There are sparks on the top of the purple cloud.

Xu Yuanming looked into the distance at the thick night, the tension between his brows had long since settled.

Ye Lianhe took a half step forward and murmured, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

"If the Grand Master hasn't sent a signal, it means everything is fine. Qingcheng, Lord Helian and others have gone to meet them. Wait a little longer." Xu Yuanming replied calmly. He was a little impatient, but he had to calm himself. At this point, he couldn't afford to make a single mistake. The slightest mistake would change the original trajectory and would most likely cause trouble for the people in "Lingshuiquan". The best way now was to wait patiently.

Ye Qinghan stared at the winding stars at the foot of the mountain, nodded silently in agreement, and said, "Master Gu Xin."

At the foot of the mountain, Helian Juzheng saw that Xu Qingcheng wanted to move forward, so he dissuaded him, "Mr. Xu San, you should not move forward any further." Then he shook his head at him. Seeing that he was staring at the "Lingshui Spring" stubbornly, he comforted him again, "It may be disadvantageous to move forward any further."

Xu Qingcheng knew that this was the best psychological safety margin, but he just couldn't help but want to step in. He was not as patient as Senior Helian and his father. For anything that happened to A Yao, it seemed that he would become unlike himself. He knew it was impossible, but he went ahead with it. Senior Helian's words were undoubtedly an excellent deterrent.

"My Lord, it's the hour of night." Furong couldn't help but remind him. Half an hour had passed since the hundred boxes of "heart and mind" arrived, but the Lord still hadn't moved a step.

After a while, Han Qi responded with a vague tone that sounded like he was trying to avoid it to Furong.

He had long since taken off his black robe, and was now wearing a purple indigo robe with silver patterns. He stood tall and slender in the bamboo forest not far from "Youhuang", staring at the lights in the house with a complicated expression, as if he was having trouble making a decision about something.

He is worthy of being called “Da Yun’s No. 1 Strategist” Li Changan.

"Bring it up." Han Qi said coldly.

Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng had already changed into clean robes, their long black hair was meticulously groomed, and even the jade hairpins on their hair crowns were made of the finest white jade. There was not a speck of dust on their bodies, and the wounds at the corners of their mouths had long been wiped clean with the "Rejuvenating Cream".

Handan looked at her "work" with great satisfaction. She had put a lot of effort into making the two men submit, and except for several whip and sword wounds on her body that had not yet healed, the marks on her wrists and neck had faded a lot.

The two men were blindfolded, and due to the serious internal injuries, their breathing was unstable. They staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Handan's beautiful eyes flashed with cold light, and she said in a cold voice: "If you dare to dirty this dress, watch out for your hide!"

Mu Yao stared at the deep pool outside the back window, amazed at the topography of the place. The color of the pool was particularly dark, and at first glance, it gave people a creepy feeling of fear. This reminded her of the "Pond of Hell" she had visited when she was a child. The water there was also dark and dark, and it was estimated to be a hundred meters deep.

Suddenly, a slight creaking sound of wood came to my ears.

When she and her father walked out of "Youhuang", they saw "Wuming" in a purple robe and Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng, who were blindfolded and staggeringly being escorted away behind him.

"Let them go." Mu Yao went straight to the point and slowly took a few steps forward, wanting to see clearly the status of the two people behind Han Qi.

When Wang Yanzhi and Liu Huifeng heard her voice, they immediately became alert and tried hard to break free from the restraints behind them, letting out slight moans.

Mu Yao noticed their abnormality and asked sternly, "What did you do to them?"

Han Qi felt choked up. She scolded him as soon as they met, which meant she didn't take him seriously at all. Staring at the anger in the beauty's eyes, the anger on his face gradually subsided, and his heart became itchy.

The moonlight shines on the beauty, as if she is covered with silver gauze, and the silver light in her eyes is even brighter.

Why is she so beautiful? Even when she is angry, she is still so beautiful. I can't help but want to tease her a few more times.

Han Qi stopped, held his breath, and stared at her without blinking, unable to bear to ruin this beautiful picture.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu Yao became even more angry: "I'm asking you!" she asked again impolitely.

"They are fine, they were just poisoned by some muscle softening powder and mute medicine, they will recover by noon tomorrow." Han Qi replied reluctantly. There was no trace of himself in this woman's eyes, it was a waste of his care for her.

Then he looked at Master Li who was looking at him carefully. He hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully with both hands and said, "Greetings, Master."

The man in front of him was wearing a purple shirt and a black gauze on his head. Under the moonlight, he looked like a pine tree, with an extraordinary bearing. He didn't show any of the bloodthirsty cruelty of "Wuming". Li Changan nodded slightly, as a greeting.

"Let them come over." Mu Yao said coldly again, her heart had already missed a beat. With the moonlight, she could clearly see the forbearance on the faces of the two men.

"My father doesn't know martial arts, and I can't beat you. What do you have to worry about? Let them come over."

Han Qi's body paused for a moment, and after a while, he suppressed his unhappiness and said, "Let him go."

Handan and Furong admire the future Master's wife very much. No wonder the Master is so devoted to Miss Mu. With such courage and incomparable beauty, who wouldn't be convinced?

Lu Shen and Fu Yuanwei let go of the two people, and seeing that they were about to fall, they quickly supported them and stabilized them. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, the two had to steadily send them to Lady Mu.

Mu Yao quickly checked their pulses and poured a whole bottle of Gu Yuan Dan into their mouths. She then took out the last two Qi Ju Dan and stuffed them into their mouths.

Han Qi's pupils shrank sharply under the veil. This was Mr. Wu Liu's Qi Gathering Pill! How could she have it?

Recalling the scene of giving Xu Qingcheng the "Red Flower Fruit" that day, could it be that she is -?
