Chapter 1848

Gathering medicinal ingredients wasn't something that could be done in a day or two, so Ye Mi handed the task over to her subordinates.

As for herself, half a day later, she moved into Luoshui Palace.

Because of the internal strife in Honesty Pavilion, the pawnshop business she was in charge of had almost all stopped, and she had a lot of free time.

In addition, her godfather's mission was to get her close to Gu Chen, so she stayed in Luoshui Palace for a long time with a peace of mind.

In the first few days, she often let her imagination run wild. She worried that Gu Chen had ulterior motives, but also worried that he didn't.

This contradictory mentality caused her to focus most of her attention on Gu Chen. Sometimes, she even dreamed of him.

But as time passed, she realized that Gu Chen seemed to have no interest in anything other than cultivation. This simple and regular life gradually calmed her restless mind.

She began to feel at ease. Even though she still couldn't see through this man, she had a feeling that there was no need for so many pretenses and schemes around him.

It was very strange. He was obviously a scheming person, but sometimes she felt that he was too pure.

"Miss Ye."

Gu Chen's call interrupted Ye Mi's thoughts. She came back to her senses, blushing slightly, and handed a silver needle to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen took the needle, dipped it into a bowl filled with medicinal liquid, and then pierced it into an acupoint on Prince Pei Liu Yan's head.

Liu Yan's little face immediately showed pain, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat. But he gritted his teeth and held on, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued to insert needles, filling many acupoints on Liu Yan's body one after another.

"Okay, maintain this state for four hours. After four hours, I'll have to trouble Miss Ye to remove the silver needle."

Gu Chen stood up, gave Ye Mi some instructions, and then walked out of the room.

Ye Mi nodded habitually. This was already the third day of treatment, and she was already familiar with the process.

At first, when Gu Chen said he was going to refine pills, she was puzzled about what he was going to do.

When she found out that Gu Chen was actually trying to cure Prince Pei Liu Yan's illness, she was even more shocked.

Prince Pei Liu Yan's eye disease was inborn. The royal family of Pei had sought countless famous doctors for him, but all had failed.

Moreover, Gu Chen wasn't a doctor, so it was really strange that he wanted to cure Liu Yan.

She really had nothing to do in the Luo Shui Palace, and Gu Chen seemed to be quite capable, so out of curiosity, she took the initiative to help.

She had only found a part of the medicinal herbs that Gu Chen had asked her to collect, but he seemed to have started his treatment and used those medicinal herbs to refine some kind of unknown medicinal liquid.

Although the medicinal liquid looked ordinary, it was indeed effective. Over the past three days, she had seen with her own eyes that during the treatment process, Liu Yan's body would often discharge some foul smelling grey liquid.

This scene made her sigh in admiration. She didn't expect that the other party would have such high medical skills in addition to being a top assassin.

She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at this scene. She hadn't expected that apart from possessing top-notch talent as an assassin, his medical skills were actually so brilliant as well.

Was there nothing he couldn't do?

"Sister Ye, thank you for your help."

"Sister Ye, thank you for your help."

After the four hours of treatment, Ye Mi helped Liu Yan remove the silver needle. Liu Yan thanked her gratefully.

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank your teacher. He spent a lot of money to cure you. Even for the national treasury of Pei Country, it's a shocking amount. "

Ye Mi sighed. She had been in charge of Gu Chen's purchase of medicinal ingredients, so she knew exactly how much money he had spent.

To tell the truth, she didn't understand why Gu Chen would spend so much effort to cultivate Liu Yan and even want to cure his illness. It would have been easier to choose another prince.

Doing such a thing wasn't in line with his shrewd personality, but he still did it.

She had seen Gu Chen's care for Liu Yan. In her opinion, to be able to treat a youth who had no blood relations with him like this, this person's character wouldn't be bad. At the very least, he wouldn't be someone who would do anything for benefits.

"I will never forget teacher's great kindness in this lifetime."

Liu Yan listened to Ye Mi's words, and his clear eyes were filled with gratitude as well as determination.

"It's good that you remember. Don't let your teacher down in the future."

Ye Mi took out all the needles, patted Liu Yan's shoulder, and left.

"He should be there at this time."

As soon as she left, Ye Mi thought about where Gu Chen was and began to look for him.

Even she didn't realize that she subconsciously wanted to get close to Gu Chen every day.

Along the way to the garden of the Luo Shui Palace, Ye Mi saw Gu Chen standing by the pool with his hands behind his back. She was about to go forward when she suddenly felt movement in the sky.

At the same time, Gu Chen raised his head. In the sky, a three-legged Golden Crow was circling in the sky, and then it landed in the garden!

"Are you Mr. Chen?"

Crow General landed in front of Gu Chen, and his voice was a little arrogant.

His appearance immediately attracted the Wuji T-Rex and the Clay Bodhisattva. The T-Rex appeared immediately, and its eyes turned cold when it heard Crow General talking to Gu Chen.

"It's me." Gu Chen looked at Crow General calmly.

"I'm here under the order of His Highness Wu Lie, to invite Mr. Chen for a gathering outside the city!" Crow General explained.

"Wu Lie is here in Peidu? Why didn't he come to me directly? "Gu Chen was a little surprised to hear this and raised his eyebrows.

"Why are you asking so many questions? His Highness Wu Lie's token is here. Just follow the order!"

Crow General seemed a little impatient. He showed Chen Xiaobei a token with the symbol of the Dacheng royal family on it.

Something flashed in Gu Chen's eyes. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"His Highness Wu Lie said that there are too many people, so you can only go alone."

Crow General glanced at the Clay Bodhisattva and Ye Mi.

"Understood."

Gu Chen did not object. He turned around and walked towards the Wuji T-Rex and the Clay Bodhisattva.

"Master, something's not right!" The Wuji T-Rex said, wanting to follow.

"You guys stay in the palace and make sure Liu Yan is safe." Gu Chen said softly.

"Boss, you mean …" The Clay Bodhisattva glanced at Crow General from afar, looking a little serious.

"Protect Liu Yan. The Clay Bodhisattva alone is enough." The Wuji T-Rex answered reluctantly.

"We're not sure who's coming. I'll be more at ease if you stay here as well." Gu Chen said calmly.

The Wuji T-Rex nodded in silence. It knew that Gu Chen had made up his mind. Moreover, he was the one who had thought it through.

After giving his orders, Gu Chen nodded at Ye Mi, who was on the other side. He then left the Luo Water Palace with Crow General.

Ye Mi watched him leave. Worry flashed across his face. After Crow General left, he quietly disappeared from the back door.

Gu Chen followed Crow General all the way out of Peidu to a secluded mountain outside the city.
