his instant!”

Duan Ziyu caught up with Chu Liuyue in no time as she led Qiang Wanzhou out of Xuan Ji Square.

After walking for a while, the crowd around them visibly lessened.
It was then that Duan Ziyu finally asked, “Ms.
Chu, are you taking Young Master Qiang back with you?”

Chu Liuyue gave him a thoughtful look.
“I do have this intention, but I don’t know if Lieutenant will be agreeable to this.”

Duan Ziyu was really curious as to why she was doing this, but he knew that he was in no position to ask such questions.
As such, he only said, “We have strict rules in place that prohibit outsiders from even getting near the residence.
However, those rules naturally won’t apply to you if that’s your request.”

Chu Liuyue smiled. To be honest, it doesn’t make a difference whether I have Mu Qinghe’s permission or not since I can always just find an inn for Qiang Wanzhou to stay in.

“By the way, I’d like to go buy some medicinal herbs.
May I trouble you to take me there, Officer Duan?”

Chu Liuyue’s request surprised Duan Ziyu at first, but upon recalling that he had seen the former converting her force into fire during the competition earlier, he surmised that she had to be a decent heavenly doctor.
Hence, there was nothing weird about her wanting to buy herbs.

“Please follow me.”

After walking through several streets, Duan Ziyu led Chu Liuyue and Qiang Wanzhou into a rather large herb shop.

When Chu Liuyue looked up, she saw the words ‘Hundred Herbs Building’ painted in gold glitter on a massive signboard.

“Ms.
Chu, this is the largest medicinal herb shop in Xi Ling City.
You can find any herbs you want here,” said Duan Ziyu.

Chu Liuyue stroked her nose. I’m not worried about this shop not having the herbs I want.
Instead… I’m more worried about whether I can afford to buy the herbs at all.
Being the top herb store in Xi Ling, Hundred Herbs Building naturally has all sorts of herbs.
Not only are they of top quality, but their prices are equally high as well.
While my ten white crystals might seem a lot to average folks, they are considered… a stretch here.

Although she had heard a lot about Hundred Herbs Building, she had never actually been here before.
The Tianling Dynasty’s royal family had a lot of precious medicinal herbs stored away, and she tended to Xin Li Garden on her own.
There was never a time where she had ever experienced a shortage of herbs, so she naturally didn’t need to visit such a place.

Chu Liuyue—who initially wanted Duan Ziyu to bring her to a random herb shop—hadn’t expected him to pick the most expensive store out there.

Since they were already right in front of the shop, she felt bad about turning around to leave.
As such, she took in a deep breath and took the lead to walk inside.

As soon as she stepped into the store, a pageboy immediately welcomed her with much enthusiasm.
“Are you looking for something, Miss?”

Chu Liuyue scanned her surroundings, which was a unique, spacious, and rectangular exhibition hall.
All sorts of herbs—along with signs displaying their names, properties, and prices—could be found inside the neat rows of transparent crystal cabinets.

Her eyelids twitched when she took a cursory glance at the stated prices. A 100-year-old blood lingzhi actually costs three white crystals? Isn’t that as good as daylight robbery?!

“I… will take a look around first,” she told the pageboy while looking as calm and dignified as before.

The pageboy respectfully answered, “I’ll come back to serve you once you’re done looking around.”

With that, he tactfully retreated to the side.

There were about 100 people selecting herbs in the exhibition hall at this moment.
Likewise, there were also many other pageboys scattered everywhere.
Like the one serving her before, they all gave excellent service.

Chu Liuyue started walking along a row of crystal cabinets, but she stopped after a few steps.
