Chapter 6: Even the Landlord’s Family Has No Surplus Grain!
After returning home, Gu Qingheng’s emotions returned to normal.
The bystander sees clearly what the insider misses.
Because of his worry for Director Qingshan, Gu Qingheng was not as sharp as usual, which led him to make the mistake of almost letting something slip.
If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn’t act like this.
Gu Yu was such a person.
Although he didn’t want Director Qingshan to die, he wasn’t as anxious as Gu Qingheng… He probably held the mindset that it had nothing to do with him, which is why Gu Yu could still think calmly.
Gu Yu had always felt that he was very detached from others since the past.
Even if others were killed in front of him, Gu Yu wouldn’t even blink, pretending nothing had happened.
However, family and friends were off-limits. Anyone who touched them would have to pay the price!
Gu Yu was a very protective person.
After his emotions stabilized, Gu Qingheng immediately found Xi Yang for a detailed talk, wanting him to go easy on Director Qingshan.
The Director was not young anymore; he was like a fragile item that was easily ignited, so he needed to be handled with care.
Any reckless actions could lead to unwanted harm.
Gu Yu didn’t interfere much with this. Anyway, Xi Yang was very idle now, and it was good to give him something to do.
It would prevent him from constantly thinking about Xiao Hong in the Capital, lamenting alone to the flowers and plants in the courtyard like an abandoned wife. It was truly unbearable for others to witness!
However, Gu Yu felt that… his younger brother-in-law seemed to have forgotten something.
Should he remind him?
Never mind, let him discover it himself!
His memory was so good; he shouldn’t forget.
Perhaps he was feigning modesty and trying to delay for some time…
“Ah!!! I forgot, Sister Lian’ is still waiting for me in Lian Town!!! Xi Yang, the night is up to you. I’m going to town to find Sister Lian’! Brother-in-law, tell my sister not to make a meal for me!”
Just as Gu Yu remembered Tang Lian, Gu Qingheng finally remembered it as well… Due to his excitement over Director Qingshan’s matter, he had almost forgotten about Tang Lian’s arrival.
Now that he remembered, Gu Qingheng didn’t waste any time. He shouted this to Xi Yang and Gu Yu, then quickly left home and rushed towards the town.
“Alas, what is love! Love is a cloud in the sky, a tangled ball of yarn, a…”
After Gu Qingheng’s hasty departure, Xi Yang, who was fine moments ago, began to lament again.
Paired with his very sorrowful expression, it was truly as if he were acting in a TV drama, with no sense of incongruity!
This made Gu Yu shake his head helplessly. He ignored Xi Yang and thought about how carefree his younger brother-in-law was… He was angry before because of Director Qingshan, but now, he was directly going on a date with Tang Lian.
To so readily hand Director Qingshan over, he really trusted Xi Yang and his abilities!
With this thought, Gu Yu no longer stood in the courtyard but returned to the house to start preparing the amnesia potion.
Since he had promised his younger brother-in-law, he had to keep his word.
However, amnesia potions were not easy to prepare.
It couldn’t be made in just one day.
It would take at least a week for Gu Yu to carefully and meticulously prepare it.
Gu Yu had many medicinal herbs in his space, so he didn’t have to worry about anything else… Even if he lacked a few herbs, he could ask the alliance for help in finding them, saving him a lot of trouble.
However, even so, Gu Yu had planted a large amount of medicinal herbs on the only piece of land in his space.
There was no other way; even the landlord’s family had no surplus grain!
Constantly buying medicinal herbs made Gu Yu heartbroken about his silver.
Later, he thought that since Shan Chengfeng already had many chili seeds, and using the space to grow vegetables was a bit extravagant.
It was better to grow medicinal herbs.
With this thought, Gu Yu did not hesitate and directly replaced the vegetables with medicinal herbs.
Now, it had already yielded considerable results.
If Gu Yu were willing to sell these self-grown medicinal herbs, with their superb quality, they could definitely fetch a high price.
But no matter how short of money Gu Yu was, he wouldn’t sell medicinal herbs!
His Medical Scripture still needed these medicinal herbs for practice!
……
A dark and windy night.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xi Yang quickly moved across the houses of Lian Town. Besides startling a few night cats, everything else remained normal.
Xi Yang was very excited to be able to resume his old profession!
After all, he hadn’t done such a thing in a long time.
It gave Xi Yang a sense of nostalgia…
Fortunately, he remembered the mission he was here for. While treading lightly on his feet and quickly arriving at Qingshan Academy, Xi Yang took out the note Gu Qingheng had written long ago and read the marked location under the weak moonlight.
After confirming the address of the target, Ruan Qingshan, Xi Yang wasted no time and headed directly to the destination, preparing for a swift victory.
However, Xi Yang’s plans were going quite well…
As soon as he entered Qingshan Academy, he felt as if he were being targeted, causing Xi Yang to raise his guard and cautiously prepare for any sudden attacks.
It wasn’t that Xi Yang was overly sensitive, but based on his years of experience, he knew that someone was indeed watching from the shadows.
This small Qingshan Academy was full of hidden talents!
However, he remembered what Gu Qingheng had said before… Qingshan Academy had a powerful expert protecting its safety.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be referring to this person.
Although he knew he was being watched, Xi Yang at this moment was no longer the weakling he used to be.
Under Gu Mengyao’s strict guidance and the nourishment of Gu Yu’s space spring water, Xi Yang felt very strong now… Therefore, not only was he not afraid to run, but he even wanted to fight the person hiding in the shadows to test his skills.
Unfortunately, the other party did not intend to come out.
Seeing the long sword flying from the shadows, a cold smile quietly appeared on Xi Yang’s lips. Without evasion, just as the long sword was about to pierce his chest, Xi Yang directly raised his hand and grabbed the hilt.
After neutralizing its momentum, Xi Yang performed a sword flourish with the long sword in his hand before throwing it aside.
Although it looked very easy, the danger was considerable.
If Xi Yang had not grabbed the hilt in time, his fate would have been death.
Especially with the momentum of the flying long sword, it increased the difficulty.
“Sir, for what reason do you come to the academy?”
“Naturally, there is a reason.”
“I will not allow anyone to harm Director Qingshan.”
“Since that is the case, let’s fight!”
The action of catching the long sword just now was extremely cool, which made Xi Yang even more eager. At this moment, he forgot the mission of kidnapping Director Qingshan and only wanted to spar with this guard hiding in the dark.
Upon hearing Xi Yang’s words, the person hiding in the dark could not help but let out a sigh.
“Because of my sins, I originally did not want to appear before the world, but now I have no choice but to show myself.”
With the sound of this sentence, Xi Yang immediately sensed a bone-chilling danger rapidly approaching.
