Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Got it. I was just curious and asked casually.”
The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion went outside to dry the herbs.
Mei Ji asked softly, ‘What should we do?”
Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “There’s no hurry for the Snake Bone Flower. It hasn’t bloomed anyway. I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h it when it blooms. I’ll think of a way to meet the man hidden in the Holy Maiden Temple today.”
“Yeah.
Mei Ji nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao liked to move with Mei Ji.
Because Mei Ji was bold enough to really charge forward if there was danger. She really dared to go through mountains of blades and seas of fire. Even though she was injured last night, she did not become too careful.
It was not a bad thing to be careful, but sometimes, one needed to be unafraid of death.
Su Xiaoxiao carefully chose the herbs for less than an hour. Every herb had to be registered, so she naturally wouldn’t choose blindly. Even if an apothecary came to check her her herbs in the end, it would definitely be a prescription to nourish the heart, support the qi, and relieve the liver.
When she was almost done, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her stomach. Mei Ji cooperated and held her arm. “Miss, what’s wrong?”
Her voice was loud enough. The female disciples arranging the herbs in the Medicine Pavilion looked at the two of them.
Su Xiaoxiao looked pained. “My stomach hurts…”
Mei Ji looked worried. “Did you eat something wrong this morning?
Su Xiaoxiao’s fingers exuded endless exaggerated acting skills. She grabbed the medicine cabinet and trembled. “Is there a toilet?”
The female disciple who let the two of them enter the Holy Maiden Temple walked over. Her surname was Lu, and she was also an emissary, but her qualifications were inferior to that of Emissary Lin’s. She was ranked at the end.
She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mei Ji said aggrievedly, “My Miss has a stomachache. Can you help find a toilet?”
Emissary Lu frowned in disdain. “Follow me.” She brought the two of them to the nearby toilet.
“I’ll wait for you outside.”
“We remember the way. We can return to the Medicine Pavilion ourselves.”
Emissary Lu ignored them and walked to a big tree 30 steps away. She waited with a dark expression.
Mei Ji stayed behind as a cover while Su Xiaoxiao climbed out of the back door of the toilet.
Wuhu flew into the sky and led the way for Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao followed Wuhu to a place with a plaque of the Book Storage Pavilion.
It was also a two-story attic. It looked no different from a Medicine Pavilion.
However, this place was much quieter than the Medicine Pavilion and there were not many disciples.
Su Xiaoxiao was lucky. The disciple guarding the library went to eat.
She quietly arrived at the entrance of the Book Storage Pavilion.
Thanks to the qinggong taught by her sisters-in-law, her movement technique was much more hidden.
After entering the library, Wuhu brought her to the end of the corridor.
Wuhu were patting the wall with their wings.
“Behind here?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wuhu nodded.
“There’s a mechanism here, right?” Su Xiaoxiao searched up and down and found a groove that looked like a pattern decoration.
“The shape of this groove… looks familiar…”
She opened the pouch and took out the third brocade pouch given to her by the Head of the Secret Service.
There were three strange metal pieces inside.
She took out one of the small iron pieces and placed it in the groove.
Rumble…
The stone door was opened.
“So this small iron block is the key. Why does the Head of the Secret Service have the key to the Holy Maiden Temple?”
She was not curious. She was not curious about the Head of the Secret Service at all.
She retrieved the key and brought her and Wuhu into the secret room.
The stone door rumbled shut behind her.
A sinister and cold aura enveloped her.
The weather in the southern border was warm. She had not felt this cold temperature for a long time.
She glanced around and saw the stone bed in the middle of the secret room that was illuminated by the night pearls on the ground.
There was indeed a man lying on the stone bed.
He was breathing evenly and heavily. Even lying there, one could tell that he was tall.
Even though he was unconscious, there was still a terrifying aura.
Wuhu flew over and jumped on him, as if it wanted to wake him up.
However, the person under its claws did not react.
Su Xiaoxiao came to the stone bed and looked at the cold and sleeping face.
At this moment, there was a crack outside the stone door.
Someone was opening the stone door!
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Wuhu and hid behind a stone pillar!
With a rumble, the stone door opened.
The two emissaries walked in with four disciples.
The four of them were carrying a big box.
What were they doing… Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss.
Emissary Lin came to the stone bed and looked at the unconscious man. She poured out a pill from the medicine bottle and fed it to the man.
This time, she did not wait for the man to swallow it himself. Instead, she slapped the man and helped him swallow it..
