Chapter 363: Tushita Palace (2)

Both pairs of eyes stared coldly at each other.Ji Fengyan, who was just in discussion with Yichen, detected a strange vibe from Liu Huo. She followed his line of sight outward.“Qin Muyao?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.Liu Huo turned at the sound of her voice. “You know him?”Ji Fengyan nodded. She had not told Liu Huo of her curing Liu Ruse, and she now gave him a brief account of that incident. Liu Huo’s eyes shone faintly but remained silent. Follow current on novelenglish.net

Qin Muyao strode into the Tushita Palace and nodded at Ji Fengyan in acknowledgment.“Why have you come?” Ji Fengyan smiled at Qin Muyao. He had been present the entire duration of Liu Ruse’s treatment. Despite giving off a murderous aura, Qin Muyao was very attentive to his own fiance.“Fourth Princess said you were in the capital looking at a pharmacy. Since I was just passing by, I came to see if there are any suitable elixirs,” Qin Muyao answered.Ji Fengyan chuckled. “My elixirs are effective, right?”That tone, that expression…Qin Muyao gazed quietly at the smug-looking Ji Fengyan, the corners of his mouth twitching. To be fair, the elixirs that Ji Fengyan had left for Liu Ruse were indeed effective. Just to be on the safe side, after Liu Ruse regained consciousness, Qin Muyao had gotten many valuable medicines from a renowned pharmacist. Follow current on novel-online.com

Nonetheless, Ji Fengyan’s elixirs were still far more effective than any of those medicines. Qin Muyao had brought Ji Fengyan’s elixirs to several pharmacists for analysis—but even after getting together to study the elixirs all day—they failed to uncover the root of its effectiveness. They had never even heard of these “elixirs” before.“What elixirs do you want? To be clear, I only accept treasures and not cash.” Ji Fengyan had no qualms extracting a major sum from Qin Muyao. After all… the Qin family were the richest family clan in the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Just the treasures bestowed by the Emperor alone were too many to count.“What elixirs do you have?” Qin Muyao lifted his brows.Ji Fengyan patted Yichen’s shoulder, who gave a start before stepping forward carefully. He gave Qin Muyao an introduction to the various types of elixirs.Meanwhile, Ji Fengyan pulled Liu Huo to the side to observe.Ji Fengyan noticed that Liu Huo kept throwing fleeting glances at Qin Muyao. Moreover, it was strange that Liu Huo had earlier asked her if she knew Qin Muyao. Follow current on storynovel.net

However…Ji Fengyan would not press Liu Huo if he did not wish to say anything.Qin Muyao selected several bottles of elixirs in the Tushita Palace. Most of them were for nourishment of the body, and most likely meant for Liu Ruse. After promising several treasures to Ji Fengyan, Qin Muyao started to leave. However, before his departure, he suddenly beckoned Ji Fengyan to head out with him for a one-to-one private conversation.“Grand Tutor had helped you resolve the betrothal issue.” Qin Muyao’s words were a statement and not a question.Ji Fengyan nodded.“Really… unexpected.” Qin Muyao gave a faint smile, which still looked somewhat cold.“Oh yes, are you also at the capital institute?” Ji Fengyan abruptly remembered that she would have to enroll in the capital institute soon.Qin Muyao grunted before looking at Ji Fengyan. “You are also going this time?”“Yes.” Ji Fengyan shrugged.After thinking for a moment, Qin Muyao suddenly looked beyond Ji Fengyan toward Liu Huo, who was still sitting inside the Tushita Palace. Liu Huo had been extremely quiet, having spoken only a few words from beginning till end. However, those eyes had been tracking Ji Fengyan’s profile the entire time.
