Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Qingguo helplessly nodded and said:

"Alright! If that's the case, then I'll trouble City Lord Mu. Other than us, there are a few other people, who are all guests of the Ninth Prince. Since they cannot return to the Eastern Capital, we can only trouble City Lord Mu! "

With that, Qing Guo bowed.

"Where!?" Where! It is my honour to take care of Senior Doctor Yuan and the Ninth Prince's guest. I will do my best to satisfy everyone! Since you want to stay here for a long time, you can't disappoint Lord Yuan Doctor and the Ninth Prince's guests. I have already ordered my men to clean up the courtyard, so why don't the two of you go and have a look, if there's anything that's missing, I'll immediately send someone to buy it! "

Mu Chengjue was completely sincere, making it impossible for anyone to be picky about his words.

"Thank you, City Lord Mu. The Qing Court is the residence of the distinguished guests in the mansion. This arrangement really makes us feel flattered!"

"As long as he can satisfy the Great Herb King!"

As soon as Mu Chengjue finished speaking, he saw the servants of the manor rushing over as if they had something to report, but after seeing who it was, they didn't dare to go up.

"Two great female doctors, I have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. Later, I will order someone to guide the way for my esteemed guests!"

With that, Mu Chengjue clasped his hands together and turned to take his leave.

Looking at the back view of City Lord Mu, Qingguo felt slightly uneasy.

"Elder sister, are you worried that you won't be able to explain it to the Imperial Advisor? "How about we inform the Ninth Prince of the situation here? It's impossible for the Imperial Advisor to come to this city, so we …"

Qingcheng would always say whatever she wanted to say, but Qingguo disliked her the most. She couldn't help but interrupt immediately as she scolded softly:

"Qingcheng, be careful when you speak. Although this is the Eastern Yue State, it is still a city surrounded by cities. The Ninth Prince and the Imperial Advisor have no say here!"

"Elder sister, just what are you thinking? Don't tell me you think City Lord Mu is …"

It was unknown if Qingcheng stopped midway or if she really couldn't hear it, but Zhao Xiaoxue was very excited and suddenly stopped talking. She couldn't help but move her head, wanting to receive the message again.

Zhao Xiaoxue only moved her head and felt that there was something wrong with her surroundings. The most obvious change was that the buzzing of the insects had lessened, and the wind seemed to have abated as well.

"Hmm? "Strange?"

Zhao Xiaoxue muttered to herself with her eyes closed and a frown on her forehead.

"What's strange? What is this girl doing? "

Originally, there was no sound in her ears, but such a loud question caused Zhao Xiaoxue to be shocked. Her body swayed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar face in her line of sight.

"En..." "I …"

Too unexpected, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't expect her hidden martial arts to be discovered by someone so low. The momentary panic caused her to be at a loss on what to do, and without knowing how to explain herself, she could only avoid their line of sight and slowly stand up while holding onto the banana tree, pretending to look for something.

"Is the girl looking for something? I wonder if I can help? "

The person in front of him seemed to be exceptionally patient.

"Eh, no need, no need! However, it is just a flower that was casually picked a moment ago. Since City Lord Mu is so busy, there is no need for you to go through all this trouble! "

After calming down a bit, Zhao Xiaoxue was no longer flustered. Other than her still fast heartbeat, she had regained her composure.

"Hehe, so lady loves flowers. There are many flowers in the yard, you can pick them as much as you want!"

"City Lord Mu is too polite!"

Since they treated her with respect, Zhao Xiaoxue naturally couldn't be unreasonable. She cupped her hands and bowed her head in gratitude.

The instant she lowered her head, Zhao Xiaoxue saw that the person in front of her had started to move towards her. Seeing that they were within reach, Zhao Xiaoxue instinctively moved to avoid them.

"Be careful!"

Before Zhao Xiaoxue could react, the man at her side had already supported her. This action of the man made Zhao Xiaoxue feel even more embarrassed. She moved her shoulders away and retreated once again.

"Thank you!"

"Hehe, no need for me to be so formal, I do not have any malicious intentions, I just want to do my best to please you and show you my concern. After all, I have been asleep for two days and two nights, if you still do not wake up, I'm afraid I'll have to go to another town to find a famous doctor! Now that he had seen the girl wake up, he was exceptionally excited as well! I apologize for my offense just now. Please forgive me! "

Mu Chengjue was very clear on how the girl in front of him avoided him, so he naturally did not go any closer. After all, he did not want to leave a bad impression on the girl in front of him.

"Thank you, City Lord Mu. I'm fine now!"

Zhao Xiaoxue was also not a person who didn't know what was good for herself. She could feel the concern of others, and even if she didn't want to pay them back, she couldn't behave badly.

"It's good as long as you're fine. If you need anything, just speak your mind. I will do everything I can to help!"

"Thank you!"

When faced with such a hospitable stranger, other than 'thank you', Zhao Xiaoxue did not know how to respond. At least, before she clearly understood her own situation, anything she said would be meaningless.

"Hehe, no need to thank me!"

Logically, this should be the end of the conversation, but Zhao Xiaoxue realized that the person in front of her didn't have any intention of leaving.

If she remembered correctly, didn't this City Lord Mu say that she had matters to take care of? How could she be so free now? Furthermore, he was looking at her with a smile. That smile looked very strange!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhao Xiaoxue felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"Of course it's because they look good …"

"Cough, cough …"

As soon as the person on the other side replied, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't help but cough.

"Hehe, actually, I have something I don't understand. I would like to ask the lady!"

Mu Chengjue changed the topic. Zhao Xiaoxue didn't need to be so embarrassed as she asked seriously:

"What problem?"

"Miss has been unconscious ever since I entered the manor. How did you know my identity in that instant?"

"This …"

There was no way to answer this question. Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't possibly say that she was eavesdropping.

"Guess …" It was a guess! "

After thinking for a while, she gave an answer that even Zhao Xiaoxue herself found unreliable.

"Oh!" "So that's how it is!"

Even though his words were perfunctory, the other side seemed to believe him.

"Lady Mu and I are really fated!"

After thinking for a long time, Mu Chengjue sighed with emotion, but Zhao Xiaoxue was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak anymore.

"I am very grateful that City Lord Mu is treating the Ninth Prince's guest so warmly. When we return to the East Continent, I will definitely report this matter to Ninth Prince!"

Just as Zhao Xiaoxue was in a daze, the devastatingly beautiful woman quietly arrived. After all, what had happened here was not hidden, so naturally, the devastatingly beautiful woman had discovered it within the pavilion.

"Sure!"

Mu Chengjue only replied with a single sentence to Qingguo's words as if he didn't want to stay any longer. After giving a slight nod, he turned around and left.

"Could City Lord Mu …"
