C38 Visitors

"Who is it!" It was already near dusk, and there were still people who came to visit at this time. It was only his first day here, so why did these people know about this so quickly?

Dongfang Xiaoran opened the door. She didn't think that it would be the manager of the Spirit Grass Hall.

"Manager, why have you come?" Dongfang Xiaoran led the manager into the room. Just now, Qi Tianchen's palace maids had cleaned up the living room to the point of not getting a single speck of dust on the floor. Now, they could be of some use. Even though she had always been selling spiritual herbs in the Spirit Grass Hall, the hall master had been willing to give her even more silver taels than usual, saying that he was happy to see her move. This already made her feel very embarrassed, she had always relied on the Spirit Grass Hall's financial power to accomplish many things she wanted to do, if not for the hall master, she would probably still be that Dongfang Xiaoran, who was bullied by the Dongfang family.

"It is indeed a little inconvenient for me to disturb you now, but the hall master has something he wishes to request of you." Right after the Spiritual Grass Hall closed, the hall master gave him a task. He told him to find someone at an address. He didn't expect that the person he found would be the person who had been selling the medicine to them, Dongfang Xiaoran.

"What is it?" She had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank this hall master, but she didn't have the right time to do so. Now, the arrival of the head had helped him a lot, "The hall master has helped me a lot, now that hall master has something to ask of me, I will definitely do my best."

In fact, she was a bit regretful after she said that. Her past life's events had prevented her from easily trusting anyone, and now that she said it, if what she needed him to do was bad, would she do it or not?

However, the shopkeeper's words dispelled her doubts.

This herb is called Phoenix-Tail Grass and can only be found occasionally in the depths of the forest. However, the hall master is usually busy with work, so he is unable to find it himself, so he has come to ask Miss for help. Once we find the Phoenix-Tail Grass and bring it to the Spirit Grass Hall, we are willing to pay three times the price to buy it. The manager clearly stated this matter. After Dongfang Xiaoran heard this, she realized that he was only searching for the spirit grass. Since that was the case, there was no harm in agreeing.

"Alright, I wonder when hall master will request for this medicine!" Dongfang Xiaoran asked. No matter what, she had to set a deadline. Otherwise, if she missed out on the matter of Hall Master refining pills, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"This... The hall master has not made it clear yet, but looking at the hall master's expression, it seems like he is not in a rush at all. No one had ever seen the exact color, so there was no way to find it. But since the hall master had given such a mission to Dongfang Xiaoran, he couldn't figure out just what the hall master wanted to do. Although he had been listening to the orders of the hall master, he had never seen the hall master's true face before. The outside world also had many speculations about him, but no matter what, even if he was attending a banquet, his face would still be covered with a layer of gauze, and no one had ever taken off his veil before.

The Hall Master of the Spiritual Herbs Hall was still in a daze. Some said that he was extremely handsome, some said that he was ugly, and some even said that the Hall Master was a person whose gender could not be distinguished. Ever since the establishment of the Spirit Grass Hall, the gossip about the appearance of this hall master was very high. Originally, everyone who worked in the Spirit Grass Hall should have been able to see the face of this hall master, but even they had never seen him before. Someone had once poured him water and then been fired, and no one dared to give him anything after that.

All sorts of things started to happen, and even the Spirit Grass Hall became famous. Hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoran suspected that the hall master was deliberately using this gossip to make the Spirit Grass Hall famous, but just as she was thinking about it, she realized that she was being a little too polite. After all, this was a matter of the Spirit Grass Hall, and it had nothing to do with her.

"Please take care, head. I will do my best to help." Dongfang Xiaoran sent the manager to the door. She hadn't thought that the sky would darken after her conversation with the manager.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble the young lady." He didn't think that Dongfang Xiaoran would agree so readily. Perhaps he didn't know that the Phoenix-Tail Grass only existed in legends and not in people's eyes.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Dongfang Xiaoran didn't know what this Phoenix-Tail Grass was, but as long as she had it, she believed that she would definitely be able to find it.

She didn't expect that so many people would come to see her off on her very first day. It would be impossible for her to not have any objections, but compared to those two sisters from the East, she felt that it was better to move out and be free.

After resting for a while on the chair, she stretched her body again, stretching her muscles and bones before returning to her room to rest.

Just as she closed the door, she was violently pulled back by a force. Dongfang Xiaoran's first reaction was that a thief had entered the house and was about to cry out, but her hands were extremely strong and she was unable to completely break free.

"Don't move, it's me." A calm voice came from behind her. Hearing this, Dongfang Xiaoran suddenly stopped struggling. This voice sounded very familiar.

She patted the hand that was covering her mouth to signal him to let go. That person understood and gradually relaxed his strength. Dongfang Xiaoran grabbed the hand that was covering her mouth the moment that person released his strength and fiercely bit down.

If an ordinary person was bitten like that, they would immediately jump away, but this person didn't have any reaction at all, as if she was allowed to bite. If it wasn't for the slight tremble in his hand, Dongfang Xiaoran would have definitely felt that she was biting a piece of wood.

"Have you bitten enough?" Just as she was wondering why that person didn't feel pain, a calm voice travelled over, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.

Dongfang Xiaoran slowly loosened her grip on her lips. Two rows of bright red teeth marks had already appeared on her bony hand. Didn't he feel pain from being bitten?

"That... I'll get you some medicine. " With that, he ran away like a wisp of smoke, leaving that person alone in the room, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, that person helplessly laughed, "I didn't expect that I, Di Qingmo, would be bitten by a little girl and leave behind a trail of blood."

When he found out that Dongfang Xiaoran had moved out from the Dongfang Imperial Clan, he had wanted to see how his disciple's new residence looked like. He didn't expect that she would be bitten like a thief, but with such a slow reaction, if it wasn't for him, the result would already be obvious.
