Shangguan Yunting and his guards were also searching for wild five-split Coptis chinensis in the deep mountains.

Suddenly, they heard a woman's scream, and they jumped up to the edge of the cliff where Shen Rou fell.

Seeing the rope tied to the tree, Han Lin said with certainty: "Master, there is a broken rope here. The girl must have fallen from here."

Shangguan Yunting stretched his head to look at the bottomless cliff. "Han Lin, take your men down to rescue them. I will continue searching for the Five-Split Coptis chinensis along the cliff."

"Master, that's too dangerous."

"fine."

Han Lin took four guards to the bottom of the cliff to look for someone.

Shen Rou finished her shower and walked out of the bathroom, wearing a white dress, looking like a fairy descending to earth.

She stood quietly by the mirror, looking at the person inside, her eyes bright and sharp. Although she was thin, she exuded tenacity and confidence.

Her face is delicate and small, with distinct features, long and thick eyebrows, bright and lively eyes, straight nose, and rosy and elastic lips.

Although her skin is a little dark, it does not affect her beauty.

Is this a journey back to the modern era or to ancient times? I still have many things to do in ancient times, so I have to go back.

Otherwise, what would happen to grandma and my brother? My sister is still waiting for me to find her and go home.

Just as Shen Rou was lost in thought, she had already left the space and reached the bottom of the cliff, and was immediately overjoyed.

He ran back to the room, changed into a white long-sleeved shirt and trousers, then ran to the third floor, took the Flying Tiger Claw, tied it around his wrist, and left the space.

With a strong push on the top of the cliff, a thin steel rope flew up to the top of the cliff.

Shangguan Yunting was standing on the edge of a cliff looking for wild Coptis chinensis when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound. Thinking it was an arrow, it was too late to dodge and he grabbed the flying wire with his hands.

Shen Rou saw that the Flying Tiger Claw had already flown to the top of the cliff. She pulled it hard but it didn't move at all. She pressed the button on her wrist and flew up along the wire rope.

Before Shangguan Yunting could react, he felt a huge force coming from below, dragging him down.

He lost his balance instantly and slid rapidly towards the edge of the cliff. At this critical moment, his feet pressed tightly against the rocks on the edge of the cliff to prevent him from sliding further.

Shen Rou was full of confusion. How could the Flying Tiger Claw be loose when inserted into a tree trunk or rock? Before she could figure it out, the person flew up due to the pull of the wire rope.

She threw herself into Shangguan Yunting's arms like a white fairy. Her head hit Shangguan Yunting's chest directly, and her head buzzed instantly.

Shangguan Yunting only felt that a white fairy was flying towards him. He was knocked to the ground in a daze, and the back of his head hit the ground. His face was distorted with pain. He groaned and was fascinated by the fragrance emanating from Shen Rou's hair.

Their eyes met, revealing expressions of shock, as if time had stopped.

When Shen Rou reacted, she quickly stood up, but because of nervousness she fell back again. She suddenly felt as if she had lost face at her grandmother's house dozens of miles away.

Shangguan Yunting's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it was jumping out of his chest.

However, this intimate contact instantly made Shen Rou fall into extreme embarrassment. She hurriedly stood up, stumbling and stumbling away from this extremely embarrassing scene.

Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou's departing back and stood up hurriedly. He had just been hit on the back of his head and now felt dizzy and fainted.

When Shen Rou was almost at the foot of the mountain, she returned to her room, changed into men's clothes, and skillfully tied her hair up high, making her look more capable and neat.

She returned to the pharmacy as quickly as possible, and Manager Xu was sorting the herbs at the counter.

"Shopkeeper Xu, do you think this is wild five-lobed coptis root?"

Shen Rou handed the packaged wild five-lobed coptis root to Shopkeeper Xu. He took the herb and carefully examined it. After a moment, he smiled.

"Young Master, you're amazing! You actually found a wild Coptis chinensis. We agreed before that one plant would be worth four hundred taels of silver. Do you agree?"

"Sure. I have a ginseng plant and other herbs in my bamboo basket. Give me a price."

"This is probably ten-year-old ginseng, and I can only give you ten taels of silver. Three taels of silver for the Panax notoginseng and the wild yam, for a total of four hundred and thirteen taels of silver."

"can."

Manager Xu gave the banknotes to Shen Rou, who walked towards the inn humming a song while carrying a bamboo basket on her back.

When they returned to the inn at about midnight, grandma and Xiaonan were standing at the door of the inn looking around. Seeing Shen Rou coming back, Xiaonan quickly ran to her.

"Brother, you're back."

Shen Rou held his hand and asked, "Did you listen to grandma?"

"Xiao Nan, you're so well behaved."

"Awesome."

Grandma saw Shen Rou sweating profusely and felt distressed. "Xiao Rou, you must be hungry! Go back to your room to eat. We specially left some food for you. The food in this inn is especially delicious."

"If it's delicious, eat more."

Back in the room, Shen Rou took out two pheasants and a hare, "Grandma, let's have some extra dishes tonight."

“There’s nowhere to do it, so why not sell it?”

"I'll ask the chef to make a pheasant to satisfy your craving, and sell the other three to the innkeeper."

"You eat, I'll go."

"Grandma, please talk to the shopkeeper."

"I see."
