Those were painkillers. Hua Qiyue did expect that Yun Shimo refined such a bottle of this kind of medicine for her just in an hour after he went back to his mansion.

Thinking of Yun Shimo’s slightly tired eyes, Hua Qiyue felt deeply warm in her heart. Although she was angry with him for robbing her spiritual stone, she was just jealous.

At this time, someone landed lightly in front of her window. Hua Qiyue looked at him and found that the person was Bingyi.

Bing Yi, with a cold face, bowed respectfully toward Hua Qiyue. “Your Highness spends more than one hour refining twenty painkillers. Although they are very normal medicine pellets, it is not easy to refine twenty in one time. I hope infanta can understand his heart. Of course, some people are really prominent. But I believe that infanta knows who really treats you sincerely. That’s all what I want to say. I must leave now.”

Bingyi said to Hua Qiyue, and then he leaped and disappeared.

His temper was as same as his master’s.

Hua Qiyue sighed lightly. She felt a little guilty. She was guilty of being unfriendly to him before.

—

At that moment.

Yun Shimo was drawing in the study. After finishing the last stroke, a girl appeared in front of his eyes vividly. With gentle eyes and pink cheeks, she was as beautiful as peach blossoms.

Hua Qiyue—this was her shy look which was rare to see. As Yun Shimo was more and more familiar with her, he wanted to have a closer relationship with her, too. They didn’t meet each other for only one day, but he missed her so much that he suddenly felt that time went too slow.

Hearing someone knocked at the door, Yun Shimo hurriedly hung the painting in the cabinet. There was another door in the study leading to the room, which was used to store many famous paintings and calligraphy.

“Mom, it’s so late now. Why are you still awake?” Yun Shimo opened the door but saw Madame Yun standing there, which made him a little surprised.

“I want to talk to you, Shimo. Princess Jinghua is quite good, why not choose another day earlier of your marriage and then report it to the Emperor?” Madame Yun was quite intelligent. She had heard the news in the capital that Huangfu Shenglin had visited Hua’s Mansion for a long time. Maybe he wanted to marry her.

Yun Shimo shook his head lightly. “Mom, please don’t worry. We will still get married on the tenth day of October.”

“But… I have heard that the First Prince had visited Hua’s Mansion. You know that Qiyue had some special relationship with him before. Shimo, there aren’t many excellent female Qi Artists. What’s more, the infanta is a talent so she is more valued by the Emperor… I’m afraid that the First Prince also admires her.”

Madame Yun’s worries were reasonable. Now Huangfu Shenglin didn’t choose his legal wife, and the Four Great Families also had been eradicated.

If he wanted to choose one, then Hua Qiyue was the perfect woman. After all, she not only had a mysterious master, also lots of magic medicine.

Maybe the Emperor also wanted to choose her as the First Prince’s legal wife.

“Mom, I will handle it well.” Speaking of this matter, Yun Shimo’s face sank, with mists in his ink pupils.

Madame Yun didn’t force him anymore. She was confident in Yun Shimo. What she feared was that he would care too much of his prestige to chase the girl actively.

After Madame Yun left, Yun Shimo walked into the cabinet, standing in front of the painting hung on the wall. And then he lied down on the couch in front of it. To his surprise, he fell asleep quickly, and it was another day when he opened eyes again.

He seldom slept so well. He woke up and looked at the woman in the painting with a slight smile, whose eyes were extremely bright.

—

Hua Qiyue finished her breakfast. Tianci came and followed her. He did not need to go to school.

Hua Qiyue hadn’t been to Feng’s Yard for a long time. She wondered what happened to Ji Feng and others and if there were any movement of the Gnawing Devils Sect.

So Hua Qiyue came to Feng’s Yard with Tianci. Ji Jing was glad to see her that she took Hua Qiyue’s hand and kept talking to her.

“Sister Qiyue, you are finally back! Are there any strange monsters or evil beasts in the Green Mountain Temple? Have you found Hua Mengshi?”

Hua Qiyue smiled. Ji Feng also came out of the pharmacy. Tianci loved him very much. So he rushed to Ji Feng with a smile happily.

“Brother Ji Feng, Mom and I come to revisit you. But you must give me a small gift. It was me who made mom remember to come here to play!”

The little fellow began to “take credit”. After hearing his words, Hua Qiyue felt speechless. The older he grew, the more cunning he became. But it would be good for him. At least, he wasn’t too rigid to be deceived and bullied.

“No, Hua Mengshi hax left. It was not funny because there were only a few Taoist nuns in Green Mountain Temple.” Hua Qiyue shook her head. Thinking of the Palace Leader of the Dark Sect, she could not help but be confused.

“There was only a slight difference between the Dark Sect’s and the Gnawing Devils Sect’s name. Would there were any relationships between them?”

“It turned out that we have guests, Brother Ji, who are they?” A slightly acute voice came out.

Hua Qiyue looked at the medicine hall confused and saw four women walking out there. The first two were clad in light yellow gauze clothes, which looked like fairies, while the latter two were in maid’s dresses.

“Qiyue, this is Mo Yuning, the first apprentice of the Heaven Sect. And this is Hongyi, the fourth apprentice. This is Princess Jinghua.” Ji Feng made an introduction one by one.

Hua Qiyue stared at the owner of sharp words, Hongyi, who was very good-looking. Although she was not so breathtakingly beautiful, she was kind of pretty.

Mo Yuning, the first apprentice, smiled politely at Hua Qiyue and said, “I have heard about infanta for a long time. After meeting infanta today, I realize that you indeed deserve your name.”

But Hongyi snorted. “Humph, Senior Sister, why are you so polite? She is just an ordinary infanta!”

Hua Qiyue hid her breath, so Hongyi and others could not detect her Qi Art’s level.

But generally speaking, as a wise woman, after listening to so many legends, she would naturally understand if a woman was not powerful, the Emperor and the First Prince couldn’t value her.

Hongyi was young, looking eighteen years old, while Mo Yuning was about in her twenties, who appeared a little more poised.

“The apprentices in the Heaven Sect were all girls. Now they went down the mountain. Maybe they wanted to deal with the Gnawing Devils Sect.”

Hua Qiyue was right. The four apprentices came here to join hands with the Ji family to deal with the Gnawing Devils Sect. Of course, other sects would slowly join in. Later, the yard would become noisier and noisier.

“Hua Qiyue, it’s said that you are good at Qi Art. Let’s have a competition. I don’t believe you are the lower level of Dragon Diagram!” Hongyi said proudly in a cold voice, with cold light reflecting in her eyes.

Hua Qiyue was shocked. Why on earth was the girl full of hostility when she saw her? Was it because of Ji Feng?

Hua Qiyue smiled faintly, “Miss Hongyi, you’d better study medicine pellets and Qi skills in your spare time. After all, once the action of killing Gnawing Devils Sect begins, it will be difficult for you to have time to practice.”

Ji Feng also eased the situation immediately, “Yes, Miss Hongyi, why don’t we go inside and study the Qi skills we’ve got together?”

Hongyi looked at Hua Qiyue contemptuously and snorted. “Huh, are you afraid? Would you be ashamed if you enjoyed such a reputation without any actual strength?”

Hongyi was an arrogant and obstinate girl. Mo Yuning coughed with a clear voice. “Junior Sister, Princess Jinghua is not an ordinary woman. She hasn’t argued with you yet. Be polite.”

Getting a telling off from Mo Yuning, Hongyi rolled her eyes toward Hua Qiyue.

At this time, a pharmacy apprentice reported that the Prince Nan was coming.

However, Hua Qiyue entered the medicine hall with Tianci. The Ginseng with Nine Souls she specially planted in the medicine field had begun to blossom. To the outside world, it was a scarce magic medicine. She brought it out from her jade gourd so that it could be alive.

The anima energy outside was not enough than that inside, so naturally, it grew slowly. It must have already borne fruit if it was in the Mysterious World.

From Ji Jing’s words, Hua Qiyue learned that there was no movement of Gnawing Devils Sect. But it seemed that it probably was Gnawing Devils Sect that made some children with unique gifts around always disappear inexplicably.

“Sister Qiyue, I heard that you and Prince Nan are going to get married soon. Don’t forget to invite us then. What a pity, in fact, I really expect you to be my sister-in-law. Hey, my brother has no such luck!” Ji Jing suddenly laughed and said. Ji Feng had gone to welcome the Prince Nan, so Ji Jing shared her minds with Hua Qiyue.

Although they had not gone through any hardships, they both appreciated each other. So they were good friends.

Hua Qiyue was a little embarrassed and replied. “Thank you. But Brother Ji is a good man. It’s me who don’t have such luck.”

“Well, of course, you’re not lucky. Because you’re such a fast woman that don’t deserve Brother Ji’s love! You just want to chase fame and fortune. Do you think you will become a true princess after marrying a common man like the Prince Nan? Hum, I believe you will be replaced in a few days!” Hongyi chimed in sarcastically.

When she was talking, Ji Feng and Yun Shimo just came in. Yun Shimo was in a black robe today, which made his jade face look more fairy-like.

His noble breath diffused. When he heard Hongyi’s words, his eyes turned cold slightly, with powerful pressures bursting out of his whole body!

Hongyi only felt that someone was staring at her coldly. A murderous breath came on her face, which made her unable to move.

She was shocked and then looked up slightly. When she saw Yun Shimo’s handsome face, she was surprised in her heart.

Mo Yuning’s sight also fell on the body of Yun Shimo. She had met many graceful men in the capital, as well as those who were smart and dashing, but she had never seen such an elegant man—his appearance made everything lose colors.

After Ji Feng introduced him to everyone, Mo Yuning was very excited and said, “Oh, I see… You are Prince Nan. Nice to meet you!”

Hua Qiyue looked at all this silently. Tianci looked at Mo Yuning’s bashful face, and then quickly rushed to Yun Shimo to push away Mo Yuning, who stood very close to Yun Shimo.

“Daddy, here you are! I miss you so much!”

Mo Yuning’s face turned pale after hearing the address. She looked at Tianci and Yun Shimo in shock and found they were really like the father and the son, and then she turned her face to Hua Qiyue. It was said that Hua Qiyue hadn’t married the Prince Nan yet. Why did they have a son?

“Tianci, are you blackmailing Uncle Ji again?” Yun Shimo squatted down with a smile, and he didn’t look at Mo Yuning anymore.

Hongyi pulled Mo Yuning and said in a low voice, “This is Hua Qiyue’s adopted son. So if you love this man, you can steal him. He is unmarried, so are you. How could a woman like Hua Qiyue match the Prince Nan?”

Just now, she was slandering that Hua Qiyue matched a common man like the Prince Nan, but soon she became a vicar of Bray.

After being slandered twice in a row by Hongyi, Hua Qiyue didn’t get angry but looked at her blandly.

The female apprentices of a prominent sect should be well educated. But some of them were children sent by wealthy families. People spoiled them, which made them act unruly.

“Stop looking at me! Or I’ll dig your eyes!” Hongyi raised her fist and warned.
