“Elder martial sister, Zhou Yin and Zhou Ming were taken back by the reverend uncle Mu. But they were sucked by Spirit Eating Flowers, so their cultivation was damaged a lot.” Zhu Jin said.
Xie Wanran frowned and said, “Why did the two of them venture to the Spiritual Medicine Garden so rashly?”
Zhu Jin shook his head and said, “I don’t know!”
Xie Wanran said with some headache, “After this, I am afraid that martial uncle will be very angry.”
“Elder martial sister Xie, I have checked that area of the North District Spiritual Medicine Garden and it belongs to Qiu Yun as a private property. Qiu Yun bought all the land, so even the Green Cloud Immortal Sect can’t interfere with it,” Zhu Jin said.
Xie Wanran frowned and said, “It’s Qiu Yun’s private property?”
“Yes!” Zhu Jin said.
Xie Wanran frowned and said, “I don’t know what is going on with this Qiu Yun. He seems to be very hostile toward me.”
“I heard that this Steward Qiu has a very eccentric nature and is very hot-tempered,” Zhu Jin said.
“Green Cloud Immortal Sect actually let such a person take charge of the Spiritual Medicine Garden,” Xie Wanran knitted her brows and said.
Zhu Jin nodded and said, “Although this Qiu Yun has a bad temper and is eccentric in nature, I heard that he is quite good at cultivating spiritual plants. After he took over the management of Northern District Spiritual Medicine Garden, he handed more than 30% spiritual plants than before.”
Xie Wanran rubbed her chin and said, “Is that so? Then our chances are slim.”
“Not really.” Zhu Jin said.
“No?” Xie Wanran said with some surprise.
Zhu Jin nodded and said, “The Jasper Peaches in the Northern District Spiritual Medicine Garden were all transplanted by Steward Qiu. However, it’s said that when these Jasper Peaches were first transplanted, they were all shriveled until Xiao Jingting came over. He’s the one we met in the Spiritual Medicine Garden today. I also heard that Jasper Peach King that is about to mature was actually cultivated by him.”
Xie Wanran said with some surprise, “In that case, we may not necessarily need to ask Steward Qiu for the Jasper Peach King, Xiao Jingting may also help us with it.”
Zhu Jin nodded and said, “Exactly.”
Xie Wanran smiled and said, “That’s great.”
Looking at Xie Wanran’s delighted appearance, Zhu Jin frowned, saying, “Elder martial sister is so painstakingly devoted to reverend uncle Mu. I wonder if reverend uncle Mu can really appreciate your affection for him.”
Xie Wanran smiled and said with a somewhat gloomy expression, “I just want to do something for him, I don’t need him to be grateful to me.”
…………
Xiao Jingting was taking care of Jasper peaches in the medicine garden when Xie Wanran walked over.
“Miss Xie, what can I do for you?” Xiao Jingting asked, fully alert.
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Jingting who looked like he was facing a big enemy and asked somewhat strangely, “Fellow cultivator Xiao, are you afraid of me? Am I that terrible?”
“Miss Xie, of course you are not terrible, but I am personally afraid of women. When I see women, I become very nervous.” Xiao Jingting said. Around the female lead, only male lead could protect himself. Most of the other male characters would mostly end up half dead, or as cannon fodder, and without a burial place.
Xie Wanran smiled at Xiao Jingting and said, “That’s a strange disease, then how do you plan to marry a wife?”
Xiao Jingting rightfully said, “Marrying a ger, I am a man with a wife.”
Xie Wanran laughed and said, “Right! I just remembered. I came here to ask for something. ”
Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t know what Miss Xie wants me to do. But if it’s too difficult, I am afraid I can’t help you.”
Xie Wanran smiled and said, “It’s not a difficult matter. I heard that the Jasper Peach King in this peach forest was actually cultivated by you.”
Xiao Jingting’s heart thumped. This girl came here to poach him.
“Miss Xie, you overestimated me. I’m just working for Steward Qiu. How could I have the ability to cultivate Jasper Peach king?”
Xie Wanran looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Mr. Xiao, you don’t need to be so modest. Your ability is known to many people. In fact, you are very good at cultivating spiritual plants and Spiritual Medicine Sect is the place where you can show your strength. You are after all not a member of Green Cloud Immortal Sect, so it would be easy for you to leave.”
“Miss Xie, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten one thing,” Xiao Jingting said indifferently.
Xie Wanran said with some confusion, “What?”
“My son is a member of the Green Cloud Immortal Sect,” Xiao Jingting said. With his son here, how can he, as his father, dare to leave?!
“Xiao Jingting, what are you doing? Slacking off again.” Qiu Yun’s scolding voice sounded.
Xiao Jingting’s ears started buzzing under Qiu Yun’s roar.
Xiao Jingting looked at Qiu Yun’s ferocious appearance and lost his smile, went to Qiu Yun’s side, saying, “Steward Qiu, what are you doing here?”
Qiu Yun coldly snorted and said, “If I did not come, you would be happy slacking off, wouldn’t you?”
Xiao Jingting, “…”
“Miss Xie, in this Northern District Spiritual Medicine Garden of mine, outsiders are not welcome. It would be better for you if you come here less often.” Qiu Yun said coldly.
Xiw Wanran’s face turned white as she said, “Thank you, Steward Qiu for your warning.”
Qiu Yun looked at Xie Wanran and said, “Miss Xie, not everything in this world can be fixed just by you showing off your coquettishness.”
All of a sudden, Xie Wanran’s face twisted.
Xiao Jingting looked at Qiu Yun and thought: Qiu Yun is too harsh by saying that to a girl. Xie Wanran, who used to remain composed, had a sullen face once hearing what he said.
Seeing Xie Wanran leave, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
