Chapter 1486: Leading The Spirit Beasts To Attack The City XIV
This seemed to be the first time that the state preceptor had been reprimanded.
But the state preceptor’s face was expressionless, still as calm as always.
It was as if no words could move his heart.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, the old man caught a whiff of something and descended from the air before sniffing hard at Feng Ruqing. “What’s that smell? It smells so good.”
Nan Xian’s eyes were cold as he lifted his hand and pulled Feng Ruqing into his arms, his sleeves drawing a burst of cold wind at the old man.
The old man raised his hand, defusing the sudden cold wind, and smiled. “Young man, calm down. The smell of spirit herbs on this girl is very strong. I’m sure… She often brings the spirit herbs with her.”
Feng Ruqing frowned. ‘This old man has a keen sense of smell…’
“Yes.”
The old man laughed. “However, your smell is slightly different from the ordinary spirit herbs; it seems to be mixed with something else. It smells so good, and I’m drooling…”
Feng Ruqing subconsciously pulled Nan Xian back to keep a distance from this old man.
Little Qing Han blinked and said, “Can Grandfather smell Mother’s herbal dish? Those little leopards were injured, and Mother wanted to have them as her slaves, so she has made a herbal dish for them.”
“Qing Han!”
Feng Ruqing facepalmed.
Qing Han had just met this old man, not even knowing his ident.i.ty, but she had already revealed her secret.
‘And, what did you mean by wanting to make a spirit beast a slave?
‘Am I that kind of person!?’
The old man’s eyes lit up. He had even forgotten the purpose of his visit to the spirit beast mountain. He blinked as he looked at Feng Ruqing.
“Little girl, what is the herbal dish your child is talking about? Is it delicious?”
Little Qing Han nodded hurriedly. “Of course, it’s delicious. Mother also has spirit wine, and my grandfather really…”
This time, Qing Han had not even finished speaking, but Feng Ruqing had quickly walked in front of her and clamped her mouth shut.
Qing Han whimpered, looking pitifully at Feng Ruqing, clearly not understanding what she had done wrong.
“Wine?” The old man’s eyes grew brighter. “Little girl, do you have any wine now? So… Is your wine up for sale? I’m a person who doesn’t usually have any other hobbies, I just love to drink, and I’m even more fond of collecting wine from around the world.”
Feng Ruqing released the hand that covered Qing Han’s mouth and gave the old man in front of her a once-over.
“Do you have something to exchange with me?”
“Hehe…” The old man laughed. “If you want to exchange things with me, then first give me a taste of your wine, and I’ll see what it’s worth before I can take out an item of equivalent value.”
Feng Ruqing smiled faintly, “There is nothing of equivalent value to my wine, but for the sake of your kindness in helping us just now, I can give you a taste of it before you make your decision.”
Feng Ruqing took out the spirit wine from the medium.
Ever since her strength had increased, the ingredients used to brew the spirit wine were no longer the lowest grade herbs.
That was why, when the spirit wine had just appeared, before the wine jar was even opened, the old man had already smelled the alluring fragrance.
The smell made him salivate as he looked unblinkingly at the wine jar Feng Ruqing was holding.
‘It smells so good!’
