Gu Qiqi turned around in astonishment. “You… Why are you here?”

Under the night sky, Gong Jue’s tall figure seemed even more sturdy and cold. The cold moonlight shone on him, adding an alluring aura to him.

He said lightly, “I want to accompany you.”

I want to accompany you.

These five simple words made Gu Qiqi feel emotional.

Stupid man!

He was getting better at flirting!

It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t touched.

But…

“What about that boy? If bad people take advantage of him…” Gu Qiqi’s small heart tightened.

Gong Jue said, “Let that old man Gong Qing be responsible. Isn’t he energetic? Find something for him to do so that he won’t always be so free to suspect about this and that.”

Gu Qiqi laughed.

This reason was superb.

Alright, the boy had that suspicious biological grandfather to take care of him. She didn’t have to worry about his safety.

The two of them walked deeper into the dense forest hand in hand.

The leaves creaked under his leather boots, breaking the silence of the night. But there was a different kind of harmony.

Gu Qiqi pursed her lips. She was used to being alone. Even her good friends rarely accompanied her by her side. But at this moment, a man overcame thousands of obstacles and wanted to accompany her. She admitted that this feeling of being doted on was so good that it was explosive.

She said softly, “But Feng Yangchu made me swear that I would not bring outsiders into the area where the Medicine Manual is. Otherwise, there will be bad luck and punishment.”

Gong Jue raised his eyebrows and said proudly, “Am I an outsider?”

Gu Qiqi was speechless.

The little dirty turtle sniggered. That’s right, that’s right. Master Jue is our Master Qi’s family! Hahaha…

Gong Jue wrapped his long arm around Gu Qiqi and hugged her in his coat to warm her up.

He hugged her and walked forward to prevent her from aggravating her injured leg. “I’m your future husband. I’ll become one with you sooner or later. What’s mine is yours. What’s yours is mine. Even the heavens can’t deny this! Who said that I’m an outsider? I’ll kill him!”

His rough and domineering style was the same as always.

Gu Qiqi’s lips curved slightly and she didn’t retort anymore.

When a man was ambitious enough to protect her, that man would be handsome, proud, adorable, and responsible. It was really difficult to reject him.

The two of them walked intimately to the Medicine Manual.

Gu Qiqi was glad that Gong Jue was here. The light from the flashlight that she brought was too weak. The better flashlight that Gong Jue carried with him was still stronger.

Once it was turned on, everything within a few dozen meters was lit.

Gu Qiqi found the medicinal cluster that was used to collect herbs for the little boy. After rummaging through it carefully, she discovered that there were a few herbs that had been bitten by worms near the licorice.

After observing the herb’s bare roots for a while, she was certain that this was the Seven Leaf Flower!

No wonder she didn’t notice it previously. It was actually… eaten by worms!

Gu Qiqi was speechless.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but sigh at the power of the Medicine Manual.

After the clinical trial, she had only discovered that there was one missing ingredient after giving the little boy the medicine. This Medicine Manual had already prescribed the best medicine for the most complicated illness.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Seven Leaf Flower had been accidentally eaten by the worms, this complete prescription would really be shocking.

She had found the reason, but there was also a problem.

The little boy was in danger and Gu Qiqi needed the Seven Leaf Flower to save his life.

Even if there was a seed, she could cultivate it.

But the Seven Leaf Flower was already extinct in the Empire. Where was she going to find the seed now?

Gong Jue’s heart ached when he saw Gu Qiqi’s disappointed face. He said in a low voice, “Leave this to me. I’ll use all my strength to find it. Don’t worry. It’s too late. Go back and rest first.”

She said that she wasn’t worried yet she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

After tossing and turning in bed, she decided to go to the black market to take a look the next day.

It was said that in the black market of the Dige Stone Gambling Hall, other than jewelry and jade, there were many unknown things. As long as she could afford it, she didn’t have to worry about not being able to buy it.
