The next day, as the faint light of dawn enveloped a layer of mist, Jiu Muli suddenly opened her eyes. She had been tossing and turning the entire night, unable to sleep at all.    

    

It seemed like she was too idle?    

    

She yawned lazily and was about to get up to wash up when Bai Qing ran into the room in a hurry. There was not a trace of a smile on his silver platter of face.    

    

"Miss …" Bai Qing looked at her with a wronged expression, her pink lips opened and closed, yet she could not utter a single word for a long time.    

    

As usual, Jiu Muli was rinsing his mouth with water. His movements were smooth, as if he was not affected by her anxiousness or displeasure, his expression did not change at all.    

    

"This servant heard from the good palace maid that the Miss Nangong was about to become the Prince Qin's Opening the Profound Vein! Everything was ready last night. " Bai Qing gritted her teeth, but in the end, she was still unable to hold it in and blurted out all the news in one breath.    

    

"Cough, cough …" Jiu Muli choked on his mouthwash and his face darkened.    

    

He had finished preparing last night, which was after she had rejected being Qin Zheng's woman, he had gone to find Nangong Xueji. How could this man be so impulsive!    

    

The success rate of Nangong Xueji's method was too low. She could not allow her efforts to be wasted.    

    

This was just repaying the debt of gratitude. She silently told herself in her heart, and then a cold light flashed in her eyes.    

    

Qing Mu Hall? Wait for me.    

    

After dressing up, Jiu Muli was dressed in a black robe robe. Like a waterfall, her hair cascaded down her shoulders as she accompanied Bai Qing to lead the way, straight towards the Qing Mu Hall.    

    

From afar, he saw the Director Chen guarding the door. Jiu Muli's brows twitched, and casually walked over, each step becoming a lotus flower, swaying in the wind.    

    

"Why is the Ninth Miss here?" Director Chen panicked. He had witnessed Nangong Xueji's entire plan so he naturally knew what was going on in the Qing Mu Hall right now. He was even more determined to not let anyone into it.    

    

In His Highness's heart, this Ninth Miss definitely has a place. Moreover, His Highness now believed that she was pregnant and wanted to meticulously care for her like a glazed doll.    

    

Jiu Muli's indifferent eyes swept across the sweat on his forehead and the stiff smile on his face. However, I am not here to destroy, I have some attainments in the matter of Opening the Profound Vein, I am just curious, what method did Miss Nangong choose in the end? "    

    

Hearing that her tone was not intense but was instead full of wisdom, Director Chen heaved a sigh of relief, wiped away his sweat and laughed, "Miss Nangong has changed her traditional Opening the Profound Vein technique this time, so she doesn't need to draw lightning into her body, nor need to absorb the spiritual energy s within the medicinal herbs. All she needs to do is take a bath, and the crushed spirit herbs will become one with the hot water, and naturally be absorbed into one's body."    

    

Medicine bath? Familiar words came to Jiu Muli's mind and her eyes flashed. She had already thought about this idea long ago, so she meticulously recorded the steps on a piece of paper. The paper was so sleepy that she stuffed it under her pillow.    

    

Damn it! No wonder the paper under her pillow was missing!    

    

She had never believed that there could be so many coincidences in the world. She wanted to see whether or not Nangong Xueji was as shameless as she had expected and once again broke through a new realm!    

    

After giving Bai Qing a look so that he could entangle the Director Chen, Jiu Muli walked towards the hall with big strides.    

    

The first thing that came to him was an especially moist and dense water vapor. The air was filled with dense water vapor and white smoke. Stepping over the carved warm jade floor, a warm feeling spread to his limbs and bones from the tip of his feet.    

    

In front of him was a pool that could be said to be huge. In the mist, a man and a woman could be vaguely seen.    

    

Inadvertently, Jiu Muli bit her lower lip as she slowly walked closer. As she did so, what entered her eyes was such a lively and fragrant scene.    

    

What a perfect pair!    

    

Jiu Muli revealed a cold sneer. After a glance, she had already determined that Nangong Xueji was currently using the exact same method that she had written on the paper. The so called successor of the Immortal Doctor was just a plagiarist who had stolen the ideas of others.    

    

Her originally unfriendly gaze added a few traces of a mocking smile.    

    

Qin Zheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, felt a chill down his spine and turned his head as if he had sensed something. Not far behind him, the black robe girl's face was as pale as a summer flower. A strange sneer hung on her lips as a cold intent curled around her entire body.    

    

"Listen to my explanation!" Without thinking, he blurted out.    

    

Hearing that, Nangong Xueji who was about to throw in the herbs, suddenly turned back and his hand froze in mid air.    

    

The three of them looked at each other in dismay. And the panic and helplessness on Qin Zheng's and Nangong Xueji's face, was reflected in her eyes, was especially sarcastic.    

    

Jiu Muli suddenly had a feeling that he was being plotted against. The smile on his face grew wider as it congealed into a sneer.    

    

She spoke slowly, enunciating each word clearly, "Nangong Xueji, you sure have great ability."    

    

With that, Nangong Xueji's face changed. Naturally, she knew that the original owner had caught her stealing the idea.    

    

As a disciple of the Immortal Doctor, she adopted Jiu Muli's thoughts as a form of assurance towards Jiu Muli. Jiu Muli was just too inconsiderate!    

    

Jiu Muli once again turned his gaze to Qin Zheng, and shook his head indifferently, "No need to explain. I have eyes, I can see. Furthermore, I am not your woman, so why are you explaining this to me? "    

    

The fire in Qin Zheng's eyes started to burn. This woman understood him too well.    

    

Seeing the man and woman in front of him gritting their teeth, Jiu Muli smiled, "I brought back the medicinal ingredients, what's wrong with watching by the side?"    

    

She risked her life to return the Purgatory flower of seven colors! Naturally, she had the right to watch from the sidelines.    

    

Jiu Muli indifferently glanced at the pile of herbs on the ground.    

    

However …    

    

She focused her gaze. Beside the Purgatory flower of seven colors, there was actually a purplish-red herb placed next to it. That was not on her paper!    

    

Thinking about it, it should be a medicinal ingredient that Nangong Xueji added himself.
