Reborn as a beautiful little lucky star

Chapter 15: Disciples of Xianjian Villa

The Mu family said goodbye to Old Li's family and got on the carriage.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

After a night's rest, the horses were full of energy. Under the driver's control, they raised their four hooves and ran forward happily.

Mu Xueyan lay in her mother's arms, feeling drowsy from the shaking of the carriage.

Yan Liqing hugged her daughter lovingly, patted her soft little body gently, and hummed folk songs from her hometown.

Mu Xueyan listened to the lullaby and fell into a sweet dream.

She slept for five hours, from early morning to late evening. During this time, Yan Linqing was afraid that her daughter was hungry and wanted to feed her, but she didn't wake her up even when she called her.

The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually darkens.

The convoy came to Heixi Town, a small town not far from Qingshui County, and found an inn to rest.

The old lady wanted to exchange the spiritual plants for silver bills in order to prepare for escaping slavery in advance, so she asked the waiter at the inn where the clinic in the town was.

After dinner, he and Yan Qingqing and her son quietly left the inn while it was dark and there were few people in the town.

The environment in the northern border is harsh, and the ice fields in the far north are covered with snow all year round. The rolling mountains and ravines have become a forbidden zone for life where no one has ever set foot.

For this reason, countless medicinal herbs grow deep in the mountains, including the century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which are hard to find in the world.

The medicinal herbs are very valuable and attracted many desperate criminals to risk their lives to enter the restricted area.

Heixi Town is the closest town to the Heixi Canyon. Across the Heixi Mountains is the Arctic ice field, which is a must-pass place for herbalists to collect herbs on the ice field.

Therefore, although Heixi Town is small, there are quite a few clinics.

These are shops specially set up by major trading companies to purchase medicinal herbs.

The old lady took Yan Linqing and her son to Huichuntang, a century-old clinic with the best reputation in the town.

Mu Xueyan had a good sleep, and her big, bright black eyes were looking around curiously. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of her eyes, and some images appeared.

The inner courtyard of Huichun Hall.

Two young men, one tall and one short, dressed in snow-white clothes with long swords hanging from their waists, stood under the wintersweet tree, their eyes and brows revealing an anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

The shopkeeper of Huichun Hall smiled timidly and did not dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of the distinguished guests of Xianjian Villa.

"It's been half a month."

The short boy stared at the shopkeeper with a rather unfriendly look: "No news about Bingpo Hanlian yet?"

"No, no."

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke with a slight stutter.

"Junior sister has been poisoned by fire and is waiting for Bingpo Hanlian to save her life."

The tall young man sneered, "Huichuntang claims to be the world's largest medicine store, but it can't even get the cold lotus."

"Please forgive me, young men."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and explained, "As you know, the Ice Soul Cold Lotus is a spiritual plant, which is extremely rare in the mortal realm. I have been buying herbs in Heixi Town for more than ten years, and the number of cold lotuses I have seen in total is no more than this..."

When the two young men in white saw him tremblingly stretch out three fingers, their handsome faces darkened and they looked at him with even more unfriendly eyes.

The housekeeper secretly groaned, lowered his eyelids, and did not dare to look at the two men.

Fire poison?

It is indeed very useful, but the Ice Soul Cold Lotus is its nemesis.

Why did the junior sister of Xianjian Villa get poisoned by fire?

Judging from the expressions of the two, this junior sister has a high status in the villa!

interesting!

Mu Xueyan had foresight and saw what was about to happen in Huichun Hall, and she couldn't contain her joy.

She was worried that she had no good reason to sell the spiritual plants at a sky-high price.

Look, the people from Xianjian Villa came to our doorstep.

"Yeah."

Thinking of the good opportunity, she happily waved her little hands and babbled to attract the attention of the old lady and her mother.

"Sister Yan, what do you want to say?"

Yan Linqing immediately guessed what her daughter meant and tried to communicate with her.

"Yeah."

Mu Xueyan pointed at the Bingpo Hanlian that the old lady had hidden in her backpack, tentatively expressing her meaning.

"Sister Yan wants us to sell this one first..."

Yan Liqing was indeed her mother. She actually understood what she said and comprehended her baby language: "Which one is the most valuable?"

"Uh-huh."

Mu Xueyan was secretly delighted and stretched out five fingers.

"Sister Yan wants to..."

Yan Liqing asked tentatively: "Let us sell it for five thousand taels of silver?"

Mu Xueyan shook her head and continued to stretch out five fingers, waving them in front of her mother.

Yan Liqing's heart trembled: "Fifty thousand taels?!"

"Uh-huh."

Mu Xueyan was surprised at her mother's intelligence and kicked her short legs happily.

"My dear, are you kidding me?"

Yan Liqing was so shocked that she asked again in disbelief, "Are you really going to sell it for 50,000 taels of silver?"

"Uh-huh."

In order to reassure her mother, Mu Xueyan nodded continuously like a duckling pecking at rice.

"Since Sister Yan said it was fifty thousand taels."

The old lady poked her cane hard and made a decision: "We will ask for 50,000 taels and do as Sister Yan said."

"Listen to the old lady."

Yan Linqing instantly gained confidence and hugged her daughter's arm, involuntarily using a little force.

She must hold her precious daughter tightly and not let anyone take her away.

Inside Huichun Hall, there was a roaring fire, and the hall was cozy and warm.

There were no customers, and the waiter was leaning on the counter with his hands, dozing off with his eyes squinted.

The old lady and Yan Qingqing, mother and son, pushed open the shop door, and a cold wind blew in. The young man shivered from the cold and was no longer sleepy.

"Hello, gentlemen."

Seeing that there were customers coming, he instantly perked up and smiled as he approached them: "Excuse me, do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

“Selling herbs.”

The old lady was leaning on a dragon-headed cane, and she looked majestic without even getting angry.

"Old man."

The young man licked his face and smiled: "Can you take out the herbs and let me have a look?"

"Medicinal herbs are precious and should not be seen by outsiders."

The old lady is well-informed, how could she not know the rules of the pharmacy?

Rare herbs should be personally appraised and their value estimated by the shopkeeper.

"Please follow me, gentlemen."

Seeing that the old lady looked serious and genuine, the young man's smile became more sincere.

"Please lead the way, little brother."

The old lady greeted them politely, and the group was about to walk towards the backyard when they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the clinic. A moment later, two young men in white clothes with swords on their waists pushed the door open in a hurry.

coming!

Mu Xueyan's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted.

"Is the shopkeeper here?"

The two young men in white were obviously regular customers of the clinic. They entered the lobby without stopping.

"exist."

The young man answered hurriedly, but before he could finish, the two men had passed by him and headed straight for the backyard like a gust of wind.

"Xianjian Villa?"

The old lady was well-informed and recognized their identities from their clothes: "Are they disciples of Xianjian Villa?"

"The old man has good eyesight."

The young man gave a thumbs up to express his admiration: "Xianjian Villa is the largest sect in the northern border. Its disciples are highly skilled in martial arts. Among the disciples of each generation, some have broken through the limits of mortals and entered the fairyland to practice."
