"You …" Mu Xueluo despaired as she discovered that she had failed. In her anger, she pouted her mouth as she was secretly vexed. He had already done this much, yet he still couldn't do it. Instead, he felt like a clown.

Jin Xi didn't answer, instead, she just sat there quietly.

Seeing this, Mu Xueluo hesitated by the side of the pool. Do you want to try again for the last time?

"If you still don't come out, then stay here by yourself." Jin Xi's voice sounded.

Mu Xueluo gritted her teeth as she suppressed the embarrassment on her face and quickly left the pool. She grabbed the white robe on the shore and put it on. Her clothes rustled in the wind, making her feel a bit awkward. But then he thought, if he wanted to use this beauty's trick, there was nothing to be afraid of.

As she dressed, she noticed the red marks on her lower abdomen. Thus, the embarrassment was gone. Instead, it added to his annoyance. He was the one who threatened him with the poison instead of sending him off. She asked angrily, "Are you still not leaving?"

Jin Xi leisurely walked out from behind the curtain, and her gaze was somewhat evasive. Only after a long time did she notice the somewhat angry expression on her face. He asked, "Are you angry at the vermillion mark?"

Mu Xueluo knew that he was talking about the poison in her body, so she immediately replied, "Of course. You're threatening me with this, so maybe you're the one who poisoned me." When her plan failed, she tore off her mask.

Jin Xi actually calmed down upon hearing this. He was not annoyed, and said with a chuckle, "I did not poison it. The reason I picked you here is to cure you of the poison, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. "

Mu Xueluo's face showed hesitation as she heard this. Could it be that what he said was true? According to Ling Lan, she was indeed chosen by the immortal master himself. The remaining servants were all assigned by the palace, and Ling Lan was from the palace.

Who cares? It didn't matter if the poison was poisoned or not, the threat of detoxification was something he did!

Thinking of this, Mu Xueluo still didn't have a good tone and asked, "You said that you are the only one who can cure this poison, why didn't you give me the antidote? What if I get infected one day? "

Jin Xi looked at her picturesque face, and couldn't help pouting in dissatisfaction. Then he laughed again.

Mu Xueluo suspected that she might be the one who laughed the most in the entire immortal palace. In front of others, this divine staff seemed like it was floating in the air with very little expression.

"As long as you follow me, I will naturally guarantee that you won't die from the poison." Jin Xi answered.

Dead? This poison is incredible! Mu Xueluo was shocked. She had to study more when she went back, so she didn't want to leave her life here.

Mu Xueluo took the clothes she had changed into and followed Jin Xi out of the stone room. The two of them went straight up to the third floor. Mu Xueluo stayed in the outer room while Jin Xi entered the inner room.

That night, Mu Xueluo slept for a long time because of the Empress and the poison. As she drifted off to sleep, she could still hear the rustling of clothes in the inner room.

The next day, Mu Xueluo woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing that the sky was still dark, he quickly carried his clothes and ran back to his own courtyard. He hid from Ling Lan like a thief. It was only after she had changed out of her white robe that she relaxed.

After breakfast, she plunged into the library.

She lay in darkness amidst a pile of bamboo slips and medical books until it was time for lunch. Only then did she walk out while rubbing her rumbling stomach. As he ate, he thought to himself. After looking for a long period of time, where can I find any antidote?

Just as she finished her meal, Ling Lan ran back.

Mu Xueluo was astonished. She was serving at the Star Seizer Pavilion and wouldn't be back for lunch or dinner. Why would she suddenly come back today?

"Why did you come back?" she asked.

Ling Lan slightly frowned and replied, "Immortal Master wants me to send you a message." Tomorrow he will go to the summit of South Mountain and ask you to accompany him. And I want you to bring a medicine bed, so that we can gather herbs on the way. "

"But I don't know any herbs?" Mu Xueluo was puzzled. Just what sort of method had this divine staff come up with to torment her?

"Elder sister, you haven't remembered everything?" A hint of worry flashed in Ling Lan's eyes as she asked, "The palace maid, before entering, she had all learned how to identify medicinal herbs. She even knows a bit about medical techniques. It's still the same stage from last time … "

Seeing that she was about to blame herself again, Mu Xueluo hurriedly interrupted, "The immortal master suddenly picked me. I didn't know that I would come to the immortal palace, so no one taught me anything."

Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief, but then became worried: "Then what about elder sister? Immortal Master usually does not call for people to go up the mountain with him to pick herbs, so I don't know what's going on today. "

"How are things?" Mu Xueluo asked.

"Normally, we would go to the doctors, officials, and doctors to gather medicinal herbs. After all, our immortal palace isn't a place to treat patients, so we don't need to go overboard. It's fine if you just casually memorize it, but Immortal Teacher doesn't require us to master any kind of medical knowledge. " Ling Lan was also puzzled by the immortal master's arrangement.

Mu Xueluo frowned. Could it be that he discovered that she was luring him last night and wanted to torment him so that he could take revenge? Better to be careful! She asked the exact question of what she wanted to do, where Nanshan was, and whether or not she wanted to spend the night.

She had installed a medical book on herbs in the medicine cabinet to hold her feet, as well as the tools she could find: a rope, a silk handkerchief, a poker, and a small scythe for picking herbs.

Ling Lan said that the immortal master did not indicate whether or not they would go to the palace at the top of the South Mountain. Mu Xueluo also had to bring food and water with her. He heard that there was usually no one in the manor, so he would send someone to take care of it before taking up residence.

Mu Xueluo let out a long sigh. Dressed as a maid, she was indeed a maid. Even if he was singing opposite of Jin Xi, he still had to be a part-time servant at the same time.

In order to climb the mountain tomorrow, Mu Xueluo had to have a good night's sleep. After dinner, she climbed into bed early and rested.

At dawn the next day, she was awoken by Ling Lan.

She stretched, full of energy. After packing up, he grabbed the medicine cabinet and walked towards the Star Seizer Pavilion.

This time, Jin Xi didn't even need to wait on her, she was already fully equipped and ready to leave. Thus, Mu Xueluo followed behind him, heading outside.

They rode to the foot of the southern hill. After getting off the car, Jin Xi told the waiters to stay where they were, and didn't need to follow them. With that, he shook his sleeves and took the first step up the mountain.

Mu Xueluo cursed in her heart a few more times. This godly staff, if she didn't bring anyone else with her, wouldn't she have to do all the heavy work herself?

Sobbing was useless, she still had to follow him up the mountain.

At first, the mountain path was not steep, so it was easy to walk on the stone steps. But then it wasn't like that at all. Jin Xi often stopped to point at some leaves and grass stems, asking Mu Xueluo to pick them.

Mu Xueluo had no choice but to do as Lin Ming said. In just a few moments, his face was covered with dirt, and many wounds were left on his arms.

After an entire morning had passed, they hadn't even reached the mountainside yet.

The sun was high. Jin Xi stopped again. Just as she was about to point at the thorny tree, she turned around and found Mu Xueluo miserably staring at him, seeming to denounce him.

It was summer time, climbing a mountain was already hot enough, but she still had to run up and down the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. Mu Xueluo looked at the white-clothed Xu Jin Xi, and sighed for the hundredth time that her luck was bad.

Why was he still as calm as ever, not even a speck of dust on the corner of his clothes? Was he really an immortal? Even if he was an immortal, he was still a vicious immortal. she suggested. It was just a beauty trap he used last night. Worst case scenario, he wouldn't need it anymore and have to find another way.

Jin Xi looked at her, and then put down her hand, without pointing to the herbs, she said, "Do you resent me in your heart?"

Mu Xueluo didn't answer, her mouth pouting as she refused to look at him.

Seeing this, Jin Xi lightly smiled and said, "It's good to resent me. You have to put me in your heart and in your mind."
