“I’m from the Qi Family. My brother is Qi Su… He is the young master of the Qi Family.” She lowered her eyes to cover the sorrow in her eyes, “But I’m a trash even though I’m also from the Qi Family.”
In fact, Yun Luofeng had felt something was wrong with her body since she saw the little girl, so she wasn’t surprised to hear this.
“The Qi Family expelled me to this remote town, and my brother, trying to protect me, was also kicked out.” The little girl had tears in her eyes. “Those people gave my brother a task, which was to develop the herbal medicine shop in the town. If he can’t do it, we won’t be allowed to return to the Qi Family.”
Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrows. “I think your brother is capable. In this case, why don’t you just develop it?”
The little girl shook her head, “It’s not that simple. An herbal medicine shop needs spiritual herbs. And only the herbs growing for hundreds of years can become spiritual herbs. However, the several mountains producing spiritual herbs on the Continent of Wind and Cloud are all controlled by some powers, so ordinary people can’t get any spiritual herbs…”
Yun Luofeng had long known that it wasn’t easy to get a spiritual herb, no matter whether on the Continent of Spiritual God or this space. It took a hundred years, but more importantly, it took a special chance to change a common herb to a spiritual one…
That was why spiritual herbs were in short supply!
“They said,” the little girl lowered her head, and said timidly, “if my brother couldn’t finish this task, they would not only expel us, but… would sell me to someone as a child bride. Therefore, some time ago, my brother found a person who was willing to sell spiritual herbs, and planned to raise some money to buy a spiritual herb as the most treasured piece of the herbal medicine shop.”
In fact, on the Continent of Wind and Cloud, a spiritual herb was not something you couldn’t buy. However, all the mountains producing spiritual herbs were controlled by several powers. Qi Su had planned to buy a spiritual herb from the herbal medicine shops of Emperor City, but the Qi Family prohibited those shops from selling any spiritual herbs to him. That was why Qi Su was so worried.
At this time, Yun Luofeng finally figured out why the maid, named Shiyu, was so hostile to her. Qi Su was really in deep trouble. If they took her in at this time, it would be a great burden to them!
“Xiao Ling.” Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside.
Qi Ling blinked and turned around only to see Qi Su rushing in.
“Xiao Ling, stay here. Don’t ever go out.”
Qi Ling paused and when she was going to ask Qi Su, she heard a loud noise from the front hall.
Qi Su looked sullen. He took a look at Yun Luofeng and said, “Miss Yun, please look after my sister for me.” With that, without looking at Qi Ling again, he turned around and walked toward the front hall.
“Miss Yun,” Qi Ling was a little afraid and curled up off to the side, “It’s the Qi Family people. It must be them…”
Looking at Qi Ling’s scared little face, Yun Luofeng turned her eyes to the courtyard and her eyes darkened bit by bit.
…
In the front hall, a young man who looked similar to Qi Su sat in a chair, sipping tea. A few years older than Qi Su, he was not as handsome as him and looked more feminine.
