Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Perhaps Li Weicheng once really wanted to make the Xuanling Sect better and contribute to the Xuanling Sect.

It’s a pity that with the passage of time, the true intention behind those words has become difficult to distinguish, and perhaps even Li Wei himself has forgotten them.

Lin Wenyu sighed softly and sorted out her thoughts.

"Well, but what's unusual about this? Manager Li has been doing this for years."

"Disciple knows. After asking for clarification, I no longer have any doubts."

Yayin didn't just have doubts because of this incident.

"But something happened yesterday that changed my mind."

Yayin paused and continued.

"After that day, I had planned to follow the mission information I had inquired about to see if I could run into Ji Pei."

Li Weicheng did not have many disciples under him, so Yayin went there with the mentality of giving it a try.

They did encounter each other, but at that time Ji Pei was already on his way back after completing his mission.

After all, not many people would pay attention to a low-paying task, so it was inevitable that mistakes would be made. This was originally a trivial matter.

But when he met Ji Pei, Ji Pei's face showed a look of panic.

Ji Pei's panic was not caused by meeting Yayin, but by the thing he was holding in his hand.

Yayin was very keenly aware that Ji Pei tightened his grip on the wooden box in his arms.

Yayin lowered his eyelids slightly, and almost in an instant he swallowed back what he was about to say. When he raised his eyes again, a smile appeared on Yayin's face, and his expression became normal.

After a few simple greetings, the expression on Ji Pei's face gradually became relaxed. It was at this time that Yayin took the initiative to ask to see the wooden box in Ji Pei's hand.

Ji Pei's originally relaxed body tensed up again because of these words, and his fingers unconsciously scratched the surface of the wooden box because of nervousness.

"I'm sorry for being rude. It's okay if Brother Ji finds it inconvenient." Yayin smiled apologetically, retreating to advance.

In fact, Yayin didn't have the idea of ​​getting the wooden box smoothly. He just wanted to make sure that Ji Pei's panic came from the wooden box in his hand.

But after the panic in his eyes, Ji Pei gradually calmed down.

"Click——"

Ji Pei's nails scratched the wooden box heavily, making a sound.

Looking up again, Ji Pei seemed to have made up his mind. He said "Follow me" to Yayin and walked in another direction.

Only when they reached a secluded and deserted place did Ji Pei stop, turn around and hand the wooden box to Yayin.

Yayin was a little surprised, but still took the wooden box.

"You want to see it, go see it yourself."

Ji Pei turned his head away and didn't look at Ya Yin, his voice muffled.

Yayin turned his gaze to the wooden box that was handed to him. The wooden box was indeed an ordinary wooden box, but it seemed that there was still some spiritual power that had just dissipated remaining on it.

Yayin stretched out his hand and opened the wooden box. Inside the box were some very common medicinal herbs of many kinds. Each herb had more or less of some kind, and most of them were medicines to nourish the body and restore spiritual strength.

Yayin didn't notice anything unusual, so he closed the wooden box again and handed it back to Ji Pei.

Ji Pei took the wooden box and looked at Yayin, who didn't react much. There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and he asked as if he was unwilling to give up.

"Have you finished reading?"

"Ah."

"Isn't there anything unusual?"

After Ji Pei said this, he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong. He shut up angrily, snatched the wooden box back from Yayin and prepared to leave.

"Is it okay? The stuff is opened."

Although Yayin didn't see anything strange about those things, through the spiritual power remaining on the wooden box, Yayin guessed that the place was originally blocked by spiritual power.

When Ji Pei heard Ya Yin's words, he stopped and was about to leave, but he did not turn around.

"I was not the one who opened this spiritual seal."

Ji Pei turned slightly, with a hint of fantasy in his eyes.

"Are there really nothing unusual about these things?"

Yayin shook his head: "These are just some common medicinal herbs, there is nothing unusual about them."

Ji Pei looked at the wooden box in his hand absentmindedly and muttered.

"Could it be that I am wrong..."

"Do you...know something?"

Yayin could sense that Ji Pei seemed to know something and tried to guide him to speak it out.

But Ji Pei was only busy mumbling to himself, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. However, in the face of Ya Yin's question, Ji Pei did not answer, but just walked away step by step with the wooden box in his arms in a daze.

--------

"So, what's in that wooden box?"

After hearing what Yayin said, Lin Wenyu's eyes showed some thought.

Yayin truthfully repeated to Lin Wenyu the types and quantities of medicinal herbs he saw at that time.

“They are just some ordinary medicinal herbs.

But this amount..."

Lin Wenyu's fair and clean fingers tapped on the table again and again.

"wrong."

As her last knock fell, Lin Wenyu slowly uttered the answer.

"No matter what they are used for, the amount of mulberries is too small."

I'm afraid these herbs are not for eating, but have other uses.

Lin Wenyu had some guesses in her mind.
