Xiao Fan checked Han Qianqian's courtyard and found only one maid washing the flowers and plants in the side room outside. The rest of the place was dark, and it seemed that she had already rested and gone to sleep.

Seeing that it was already past midnight and Han Qianqian was still having her maid tend to her flowers and plants outside, Xiao Fan's feelings towards Han Qianqian's arrogance rose even higher.

Having found a place to rest, Xiao Fan carefully climbed in through the window.

Strangely, Xiao Fan did not find Han Qianqian in the room.

Just then, Xiao Fan heard footsteps outside and quickly hid.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, followed by a crisp sound.

"Alright, Dad, I'm going back to rest now. Don't worry, I'm taking good care of those rare and precious medicinal herbs!"

Then a slightly magnetic middle-aged voice rang out.

"Hehe, my dear daughter, you've worked so hard. Because of these medicinal herbs, the world has misunderstood my daughter."

"Hmph!" Han Qianqian wrinkled her nose haughtily and put her hands on her hips. "Father, you can't go back on your promise."

"Okay, okay, my good daughter, I promise I will take you back to see your Brother Mu this year."

Then she summoned a maid to help Han Qianqian wash up and rest.

Inside the room, Xiao Fan listened to the conversation. It seemed that the Han family father and daughter were not as simple as outsiders described.

From the few words I just overheard, Han Qianqian's apparent love for flowers and plants seems to have ulterior motives.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and then he quietly waited in the room for Han Qianqian to return.

Before long, Han Qianqian returned to her room after washing up. She dismissed the maids behind her and went to her bed.

Quan saw a dark figure sitting at the table in his room, drinking tea and looking at him with a half-smile.

"Miss Han, please don't make a sound, otherwise, you might not see the sun rise tomorrow."

Seeing that smile that resembled a demon baring its fangs, Han Qianqian's open mouth twitched slightly, but she ultimately remained silent.

Xiao Fan's cold tone didn't seem feigned.

Han Qianqian mustered her courage and asked in a trembling voice.

"Who are you? I am the young lady of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group."

"Hehe." Xiao Fan chuckled. "It's because you're the young lady of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group that I brought you here."

Then Xiao Fan looked at Han Qianqian and said with a half-smile.

"Sit down. Put down the pills you're holding. Poison has no effect on me."

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Han Qianqian, unwilling to give up, threw the pill in her hand at Xiao Fan. This was a self-defense tool given to her by Han Jue. Even ordinary Dou Shi would experience a brief dizziness if hit by it.

But seeing Xiao Fan calmly drinking tea in the poisonous fog, Han Qianqian slumped to the ground resignedly.

Xiao Fan looked at the girl slumped on the ground and asked curiously.

"I never expected that Han Qianqian, who is rumored to be arrogant and domineering, would secretly conspire with my father so much without telling anyone."

Han Qianqian said resentfully. "Hmph!" Han Qianqian said resentfully. "Even if you kill me, you still won't get that sixth-tier herb, Devouring Hundred Herbs."

Upon hearing Han Qianqian's words, Xiao Fan's mind immediately clicked.

Xiao Fan realized that he had only intended to trick Han Qianqian, but it had unexpectedly led to such a big incident. He immediately understood why Han Qianqian had pretended to like flowers and plants while using various means to swindle those medicinal herbs from outside.

The sixth-tier medicinal herb, Swallowing Hundred Herbs, is a type of medicinal herb that is cultivated.

This herb can only be born in the place where a sixth-tier magical beast has fallen. After it is born, it must be harvested within three days. If it is not harvested, it will wither after three days. Moreover, it cannot be consumed after being harvested. At this time, the Devouring Herb is still in the seedling stage. It can only be used after being irrigated with the juice of other medicinal herbs and its roots and stems turn red. Otherwise, it will not have any effect before that.
