Qiu Nuo walked out of the room with a thick book. Xue Ling, who heard the commotion, looked up and immediately widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost. “Why… why is this book with you?”
“Of course, I brought it out from the treasure room!” Qiu Nuo waved the book and said in a good mood, “However, your former master is pretty formidable. He could get his hands on so many ancient home remedies!”
Xue Ling was extremely confused. She remembered very clearly that this book “A Collection Of Ancient Home Remedies” was sealed at the top level of the Black Stone Pagoda. How did Qiu Nuo manage to take it out from the level one treasure room?
“No, you can’t bring this book away!” Xue Ling stood in front of her and said with a stern expression.
“Why?” Qiu Nuo looked at her, puzzled.
Didn’t she let her in to pick a treasure that she found most suitable?! She felt that this book was pretty suitable…
“This book was one of the treasures most valued by my former master previously. It’s usually kept at the top level of the Black Stone Pagoda. Now, you actually brought it out from the level one treasure room. There must be something wrong!” Xue Ling pouted.
“I don’t think so.” Qiu Nuo turned a few pages of the book in front of Xue Ling. “Did you realize that there’s text only in the first few pages of this book? The rest of the pages are all blank. I’m guessing that this book is sealed in some way. Based on my current abilities, I can only see the first eight pages, which are remedies for first- to third-grade pills. These remedies are very useful to me at my current stage…”
Xue Ling’s heart moved, and she understood the meaning in Qiu Nuo’s words.
“Do you mean… that my former master left this book at the first level?”
“Who else do you think it could be?” Qiu Nuo shrugged her shoulders.
Based on the importance of ancient home remedies, aside from Xue Ling and her former master, who else could come into contact with it? Since Xue Ling didn’t do this, then it must be her former master…
“Alright!” Xue Ling pouted and said with grievances, “This is such an important matter. Why didn’t Master discuss this with me beforehand? If I took things into my own hands and placed this book back at the top level of the Black Stone Pagoda, wouldn’t I have let Master down?”
Qiu Nuo poked her furry little brain. “This book should belong to me now, right?”
“Yes.” Xue Ling nodded. “Since this was my former master’s intention and you chose this book, it’s naturally yours…”
When she heard that, Qiu Nuo couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
As long as this book was in her hands, even if she was in another world now, she could definitely live up to the name of “Ghost Doctor” from her previous life!
…
“Our Missy gave you this.”
A crystal clear glass bottle was placed in front of Qiu Ruyi.
“This is the Yuqing Pill?” Looking at the slightly luminous green pill in the glass bottle, Qiu Ruyi’s eyes widened.
Although the Yuqing Pill was one of the most common first-grade pills in the market, it was worth hundreds of gold coins. It was far from what she could afford.
With this, there was hope for her to advance to the second level soon, and she’d no longer have to stay at a lousy place like Ziying Mountain!
“Our Missy is very satisfied with your performance. If you can do this matter well next, something more precious will be waiting for you.” Hong Tao rubbed her lips lightly. She couldn’t hide her arrogance.
She was Qiu Yue’s most capable servant and had a certain status in the Qiu family. She naturally looked down on a small character like Qiu Ruyi.
“Sister Hong Tao, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take care of the matter that Ms. Qiu Yue has asked of me,” Qiu Ruyi replied with a smile.
“That’s good.” Hong Tao’s gaze suddenly landed on her wrist. “This bracelet on Sister’s wrist is quite exquisite-looking…”
How would Qiu Ruyi not be able to understand the meaning of Hong Tao’s words? She could only remove the bracelet and stuff it in Hong Tao’s hands. “If Sister likes it, go ahead and take it.”
“How would I have the cheek to do so?” Although Hong Tao said this verbally, she immediately put the bracelet on her wrist. “It looks quite nice.”
“As long as Sister likes it.”
Hong Tao looked at her plainly. “Sister, don’t worry. After I return, I’ll definitely put in a few good words for you in front of Missy.”
“Thank you, Sister.”
After Hong Tao left, Qiu Ruyi’s face immediately collapsed.
“Isn’t she just a dog by Qiu Yue’s side? What’s there for her to be smug about?!”
She complained in the direction where Hong Tao left. Qiu Ruyi looked at the paper bag containing powdered medicine on the table and revealed a trace of a cold smile. “Qiu Nuo, you’re done for this time around!”
