Overlord, Love Me Tender

By the time Ye Qing Luo returned to the pill refining room, it had already been two hours.

Ghost Doctor’s original sunken, dark face, was filled with dark clouds now.

A pair of chilly eyes, stared intently at Ye Qing Luo, “Did you need to take that long to have a meal?”

“Something happened, so I got delayed.” Ye Qing Luo lowered her head, as she chuckled softly.

Ghost Doctor gave a cold harrumph, as his expressed turned gloomy, “Troublesome.”

Ye Qing Luo gave a few dry laughs.

Seeing her putting up this expression, he was too lazy to scold her further, as he flicked his sleeves and walked back into the secret room in the pill refining room.

For the rest of the time, Ye Qing Luo started on arranging the other medicinal cabinet.

With the experience from the earlier part of the day, tidying up the second medicinal cabinet was much easier now.

After tidying up both cabinet’s medicinal herbs and arranging the names properly through the shapes and effects, were all recorded into Ye Qing Luo’s mind.

Ye Qing Luo patted her hands as she surveyed one round on the medicinal cabinet, to certify that she hadn’t missed a single drawer.

She reverted, and started tidying up the wooden table, which was once again messed up.

Ghost Doctor had not returned so Ye Qing Luo looked at the surroundings, and when she saw that messy and disoriented book shelf, she began tidying up the books there as well.

She remembered the last time she touched that place, she accidentally opened the secret room for alchemy.

This time, she took special care to avoid touching that switch.

All the books which Ghost Doctor had saved, were all related to pill refining.

Some recorded various medicinal ingredients’ geographical locations, and some were about the origins of the medicinal herbs records and legends.

Arranging further inside, there were quite a number of prescriptions on rare medicinal pills.

Ye Qing Luo flipped through and saw some familiar prescriptions.

Those were prescriptions which she saw from the Hundred Medicines Pill Refining manual.

Hundred Medicines Pill Refining was something which Old Man Cang had privately kept for a very long time, and it was at least a few hundred, if not a few thousand years old medicinal pill book.

If this was circulated, it would absolutely cause a bloody storm!

Quite a number of prescriptions were also seen on Ghost Doctor’s books.

That went to show just how rare and valuable these books were.

Ye Qing Luo was arranging, and reading these books at the same time.

If there was something which she was interested in, she would spend a little more time and effort in memorising it all.

Time, passed by gradually by minutes and seconds.

Ye Qing Luo had already tidied up the last level of the book shelf.

Just as she was preparing to shift a bench to serve as a ladder, she heard a few lady’s ridiculing laughter coming from outside the pill refining room, “Wasn’t it said that Ye Qing Luo had been sent to the second storey to do cleaning? How come there is no sight of her?”

“Surely she couldn’t have secretly escaped right? If she did, then that would be defying the instructor’s commands.”

“Everyone split up and search for her. If you can’t find her, then we shall go inform Instructor Ho and Instructor Chu.”

“…”

Following that, were several feet shuffling sounds, as they walked everywhere.

The sound-proofing quality of the pill refining room was of good quality. Initially it was so that Ghost Doctor could refine his pills in peace, furthermore Ghost Doctor was afraid of trouble, and because of that, the design was done exceptionally well.

By right, under the circumstances where the pill refining room was sealed off, it was not possible for Ye Qing Luo to hear the discussions outside the room.

But…. Ye Qing Luo didn’t know why as well, ever since she came out from that treasured place which was filled with dense qi, her sense and acuteness seemed to have risen to a higher level.

Against the thick wall, the students who walked and discussed outside, entered her ears very clearly.

Apparently, these people were specially here to make her a laughing stock.

Ye Qing Luo was rather speechless, was she really that hateful? Why did people hate her so much?

She was merely punished to tidy the library pavilion, and after she was nagged several times in the afternoon by Shangguan Liuli, now just how many others were coming to nag at her?

Hearing their footsteps searching each and every reading room, to prevent these people from falsely accusing her of using the name of cleaning, but lazing around in the pill refining room as a handle, if it were to implicate the two instructors, that wouldn’t be a good thing.
