Hu Qingyang and Gu Yixuan squinted their eyes at the same time, looking at the back view that gradually became distant. After a long while, they finally stopped looking.

The two of them looked at each other, and the graceful Gu Yixuan smiled lightly towards Hu Qingyang, as if she was quite interested in him, and asked: "Brother Hu, in your opinion, what kind of background does this brat have?"

"Are you guys dead? If you're not dead, then scram over to this young lord. Hurry up and track that brat's whereabouts. Also, find out who he is for this young lord. If you can't find out, then don't come back!" Hu Qingyang's face was gloomy, as he shouted at his men.

It was unknown whether he was truly angry, or whether he was intentionally putting on an act for Gu Yixuan to see.

In short, when Gu Yixuan saw his current appearance, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly in a very obscure manner.

Wu Hao wandered around in the middle of Royal City, and in the meantime, he entered a slightly larger medicine shop. He used the silver notes he had previously obtained from Hu Qingyang to purchase a few low rank medicine ingredients to assist his cultivation.

One hundred gold coins wasn't actually that much. Buying a Tier 1 spiritual medicine would at most be able to buy ten of them.

In the future, Mu Qian and Xiao Cui would take care of his daily living, there would be a lot of areas that she would need money for, so he had to leave a portion of the money for them.

All these years, he had been living in poverty with Mu Qian, Xiao Cui and the others. First Lady's family had been secretly oppressed by their family, but he did not care about whether they lived or died as a result, making his life very difficult for them.

He desperately needed money right now. As long as he had money, he would be able to sustain his cultivation. Since ancient times, experts were made up of countless resources.

However, everything needed to be done step by step. He couldn't be too hasty.

Returning back to his own courtyard, he greeted Mu Qian and Xiao Cui and handed over the remaining 50 gold coins to them.

Dryopterygium, Xiao Cui, we need money for our daily living, these are 50 gold coins, take them and take care of the courtyard. I am the dignified second young master of the Wu family, from now on, I will not be in such dire straits!

The two took the gold coins, and revealed a surprised expression towards him. Mu Qian tremblingly asked him: "Two … Second Young Master, where did you get this money? "

"Could Second Young Master have done something that doesn't go well?" Xiao Cui weighed the heavy gold coins as she suddenly had this thought.

In their opinion, it was impossible for him to earn so much gold in one afternoon under normal circumstances since he had an unknown origin.

Based on their previous lifestyle, these gold coins were more than enough to last them two years.

"Dryopterygium, don't worry, this money is coming from the right source, don't worry, just spend it, there will be more money in the future!" Wu Hao seemed to understand what he was worried about and immediately revealed a relieved expression, but did not explain further.

After giving them a few words, he found a large black pot in the courtyard and brought out some clear water. After boiling it with firewood, he threw the few pieces of Tier 1 spiritual medicines he had bought into the boiling water.

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!

In the City Lord's Mansion, inside the Wu manor, a few servants were ruthlessly thrown in a luxurious hall. In front of them, Jiao Ruhua stood there with a gloomy face, staring at them with sharp eyes.

"First Lady, it's these three people who were sneakily wandering around the back gate of our Wu family. They even tried to break in and got captured by us!"

Jiao Ruhua's middle-aged manager knelt to her and reported everything to her truthfully.

Jiao Ruhua's gaze swept past the three of them like lightning, and said coldly: "Speak... Who exactly are you all, and why are you all sneaking around the outskirts of my Wu manor? "

Hearing that, the three of them trembled, this was a woman who was famous for being sinister and ruthless in the Royal City, it would definitely not end well for them if they ended up in her hands.

"Mercy in First Lady, mercy in First Lady, we are servants of the Hu family …" The three of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly got up from the ground and kneeled down before her, kowtowing continuously.

"Hu family?"

"First Lady, I am here on the orders of my master and have no intention of trespassing into the Wu family …"

"What's going on? Tell me the truth, or else …" A cold light flashed across Jiao Ruhua's eyes, causing the two of them to shudder.

"First Lady, this is what happened …" To protect their lives, the three of them hurriedly told the truth about what happened in Xuexuan Medicine Company in the Rain at noon.

When Jiao Ruhua heard about this, his pupils immediately shrank, as a peculiar expression flashed across her face.

An hour later, three of the Hu servants were sent out of the Wu family.

And at this time, in the Wu manor's luxurious hall, Jiao Ruhua was sitting in front of the tea table with her legs crossed, drinking the tea in the cup. Her middle-aged manager was standing in front of her with her head lowered, her face indecisive, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a long while, Jiao Ruhua suddenly put down the teacup in her hand, raised her head and looked at him: "If you have something to say, then say it!"

middle-aged manager's entire body shook, he took a deep breath and said: "First Lady, why did you let them go so easily, we can totally …"

"I let them go because I want Hu Qingyang to owe me a favor!" Jiao Ruhua replied indifferently.

Hearing this, middle-aged manager's heart moved, and he anxiously asked a question in reply: "First Lady, could it be that you mean …."

"There seems to be someone protecting that useless fellow from the back. Since we are unable to personally attack, why not take this opportunity …"

After saying that, a sharp glint flashed past her eyes.

Listening to the rain, medicine store.

Within a grand pavilion, a slim and graceful young girl stood in front of the window, gazing into the distance.

The young girl had delicate features and an extraordinary temperament. She wore a long purple dress with a slender figure, faintly exuding the graceful air of a lady.

Zhuang Mengyu, behind the Medicine Fragrance Family's Manor.

The Zhuang Family was the number one medicine clan in all the kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Tianwu Gate.

And Zhuang Mengyu, the proud daughter of heaven, had taken over the clan business Xuexuan Medicine Company in the Rain at the age of fifteen. It had not even been a year, and her name had already shaken all the countries.

"Miss, what are you looking at now?" At the door, a pretty servant walked in and interrupted Zhuang Mengyu's train of thoughts.

She turned her head to look at the maidservants who were slowly walking forward and smiled slightly. Her exquisite face immediately revealed two dimples.

"Snowy, how's the situation at the medicine shop today? How's the incense search going in the fog?"

In reply to the young miss, the progress has been quite smooth, and it has attracted many medicine seeker s to come as well. Furthermore, the young master of the Gu and Hu family also came today, they played a big game this time, however, according to the Manager Yin, an accident happened during the process!

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhuang Mengyu became a little interested, and asked: "What's going on?"

"Miss, I heard Manager Yin mention that at noon …" maidservant Xiao Xue explained everything that had happened in the medicine shop in the middle of the day exactly as he had described it.

After hearing what the maidservant Xiao Xue had to say, Zhuang Mengyu fell into deep thought for a short while.

Hearing that, Zhuang Mengyu turned and smiled mysteriously at her, but she didn't answer or not, she only told her this: "Xiao Xue, send someone to investigate this person's background, and if he comes back to our medicine shop again, you can introduce him to me!"

"Miss, could it be that you've taken a fancy to his talent in searching for medicine?" Snowy's eyes immediately opened wide, filled with curiosity.

"Just follow my instructions and don't ask about anything else that you shouldn't have!"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Xiao Xue could only nod her head. However, she did not understand what her young miss wanted to do.

After maidservant Xiao Xue left, Zhuang Mengyu stood in front of the window once again, with her hands behind her back, she quietly looked into the distance.

After a long time.

She mumbled to herself.

It was night.

Wu manor was brightly lit.

In his room, there was an extra huge wooden bathtub. Wu Hao laid there naked, with only his head revealed, while the rest of his body was immersed in the green liquid which was emitting white steam.

At this moment, he clenched his teeth tightly. Veins popped out from his forehead, and he was covered in sweat.

Obviously, he was suffering great pain.

He had used the black pot to make a huge pot of Body Refinement Liquid out of the few low-grade first-grade medicinal herbs he had bought during the day.

This medicine had the effect of cleansing the bones and removing impurities from the body, so soaking in it was like being bitten by a myriad of ants, the pain was hard to describe.

Martial arts required both inner and outer cultivation, and tempering one's physique was one of the most basic requirements. Only with strong physique could one withstand the storage of strong internal energy.
