A life of ups and downs is pure joy

These days, the Lin siblings and the Seventh Princess visited all the fun and delicious places in Yinan County, and bought several boxes of local Yinan clothes and jewelry. Xiao Yu and Jia Xu also kept an eye on those beauties from the exotic continent day and night, and discovered some clues.

"His name is Lao Gui, and he used to appear in Yan State. I know that he served the royal family when he was young, and later retired from the world. I never thought that he would appear in Yinan County. How could he have any connection with these women from the exotic Shenzhou? Could it be that he is now serving the empress?" Lin Mo said in surprise after hearing Jia Xu's description.

"These women are very respectful to him, and it seems like they have a master-servant relationship. Could it be that the magic medicine is in the hands of this master called Lao Gui?" Jia Xu guessed as he looked at the two of them.

"This man has profound skills, his eyes are full of murderous intent, and the knife behind him is stained with blood." Xiao Yu said.

"The reason why he is called Old Ghost is because he has killed countless people, but I don't know who his master is or who he obeys." Lin Mo said with a frown as he looked at the two of them worriedly.

In a secluded house in Yinan, a man with a big knife on his back was kneeling in the room. Behind the curtain sat a man who looked to be about forty-five years old.

"Master, there are two children who have been watching us from a distance these days, one of them is the second son of the Xiao family." The old ghost replied.

"How is his internal strength?" The man behind the curtain asked in a very low voice.

"I can smell the blood on my sword."

"He must be here for the dragon fruit flowers. How is the child from the Lin family?" the man asked.

"Master, you won't die for the time being, but you won't have much time left. However, if you have dragon fruit flowers, you will definitely be able to survive." The woman who was making tea behind the curtain said slowly.

"Dragon fruit flower is a good thing. You should accompany them to practice with them, but be careful not to hurt their lives, especially the child from the Xiao family." The man sneered after he said this. The old ghost looked up at him, then lowered his head and responded.

"Master, have some tea." The woman stood up and the fragrance filled the air.

"How long will it take you to refine a life-saving pill from this flower?" the man asked after looking at the strange flower in the bottle for a long time.

"As long as the Empress gives me the medicine, it will be done in seven days." The woman respectfully handed over the tea and then stood there and said.

"Take it to Canglan Jue, she will give you what you want." The man placed the glass bottle on a book and drank the tea slowly.

"Yes..." The woman picked up the scroll and the glass bottle, turned around and lifted the curtain, dressed in an exotic outfit from the divine land.

In the Yinan Palace, Lin Qinghuan was very curious about not seeing Xiao Yu and Jia Xu every day. Lin Mo said that the two had gone to find old friends to exchange martial arts.

"I've never heard Brother Xiao mention that Yinan has good friends before, but he has been traveling around the world, so it's normal for him to have many friends. But why did this brother-in-law join in the fun? When did they become so familiar with each other?" Lin Qinghuan said curiously while peeling peanuts.

"They are of similar age and both like martial arts, so they hit it off right away. I've seen them practicing swordsmanship in private several times." Lin Mo stopped what he was doing and said.

"We both love martial arts, so why can't An Cai beat Sister Yi?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"He gives in to Yier. Ancai is a good brother." Lin Mo said with a faint smile.

"Of course I don't understand their moves, but in the end, An was the one begging for mercy, and Sister Yi's face was so happy she almost looked up to the sky." Lin Qinghuan patted the peanut shells on her hands, then whispered, "Brother Xiao, brother-in-law, and Hong Qi, who's the most powerful among them?"

"You'll have to ask Yier about this. I only know how to treat illnesses. I really don't know anything about martial arts." Lin Mo stretched out his hand and pinched off the peanut skins that were stuck to Lin Qinghuan's face and said.

Xiao Yu and Jia Xu chased Lao Gui to the bamboo forest outside Yinan City. The two women from the foreign land of Shenzhou next to Lao Gui looked at each other and got on the carriage together.

"Youngsters, it's better not to take things that are not yours." The old ghost said to the two young men.

"Since I have the honor to meet you once, I should ask for your advice." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he and Jia Xu drew their swords and flew over, with swords and sabers flashing in the bamboo forest.

"If I were you, I would go and call that girl back. The two swords can't withstand the power of the night-blooming jasmine." The old ghost kindly reminded during the fight.

Jia Xu glanced at Xiao Yu, and they both realized that Hong Qi had been discovered by Lao Gui. The two young men looked at each other, and then flew towards Lao Gui again. Of course, the youngsters were no match for this feared master in the martial arts world. After a few moves, the two were defeated.

The two chased in the direction of Lao Gui and the carriage for more than ten miles and found Hong Qi sitting under a tree to recuperate. Xiao Yu stepped forward and asked her to take a pill that could gather her internal strength and stabilize her heart meridians.

"I didn't get it." Hong Qi took the pill and adjusted his breathing for a while before he could start talking.

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect her to follow me." Xiao Yu said in a low voice.

"This old ghost's skills are terrifying, but he doesn't seem to want to kill us." Jia Xu said, covering his arm.

"Maybe it's out of moral obligation. Let's go back to the city to heal your injuries first." Xiao Yu helped Hong Qi up and said to Jia Xu.

"How did you get injured like this?" Lin Mo bandaged Jia Xu's wound, tears streaming down his face in pain.

"It's okay, don't cry, it's just a superficial wound." Jia Xu felt very happy to see Lin Mo like this, and he didn't feel the pain even though the wound was so deep.

"It's all my fault. I dragged you into this for no reason." Lin Mo said self-reproachfully.

"Your affairs are naturally mine. Naturally, I will help your sister. Why are you so distant with me?" Jia Xu reached out to wipe Lin Mo's tears and said softly.

"Well, don't move around for now." Lin Mo glanced at him, lowered his head and nodded, then whispered a reminder, and Jia Xu happily sat down obediently again.

"It's a pity that the dragon fruit flower that appeared with great difficulty is gone again. Brother once went through great pains to get one, but it was missing an important medicinal ingredient when refining it. It can only extend Huan'er's life for a few years, but it can't cure the disease." Lin Mo said dejectedly after bandaging Jia Xu's wound.

"What kind of medicine is missing? This dragon fruit flower is so magical that it can even bring people back to life." Jia Xu said.

"Even Senior Brother Lian doesn't know where this medicine comes from, but what we can be sure of now is that it must be found on the exotic Shenzhou Island. I never thought that even the red-bellied snake would be here. If it weren't for her, Hong Qi would never have been poisoned by the tuberose." Lin Mo murmured.

"I thought these women didn't have any martial arts skills, but I never thought they could use such strange poisons." Jia Xu said.

"Luckily, Hong Qi is a woman, so the effects of the tuberose won't have a big impact on her. If you or your senior brother were caught off guard, you would have lost half of your internal energy, or even completely lost it in serious cases."

"This foreign land is really scary. There are no women living on that island. They are all a group of female monsters." When Jia Xu thought of them, he felt that they were just a group of living poisonous monsters.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh when he saw his face as if he had seen a ghost.

The group stayed in Yinan for more than half a month. The Lin sisters finally waved goodbye with tears in their eyes, and the carriage began to drive back towards Jinhan.
