Potatoes piled up like mountains beside the sacred soil, and sprouts an inch tall had emerged from the ground.

This is... amazing.

If she had known that the expanded spiritual soil would harvest and sow on its own, she wouldn't have bothered with all that last night.

I was so tired from digging potatoes last night that my back aches and I still feel unwell all over.

Once outside the space, lock the door.

The streets were still brightly lit, but there were fewer pedestrians.

...

At midnight, Nangong Zeyue returned to the Canglan Inn, and the waiter hurriedly brought him water and food to his room.

Nangong Zeyue removed her outer garments and placed them on the screen, then immersed her entire body in the bathtub.

His fox-like eyes slowly closed.

The person who helped him gather information said he had seen his martial uncle in Jingning, but when he went there, he found nothing.

Nangong Zeyue made up her mind to visit her martial uncle's residence the next day, leave him a letter, and ask him to meet her at Black Pool Valley when he returned.

After taking a bath, Nangong Zeyue came out and saw that Xiao Er was still standing in front of the door.

He waved his hand: "No need to serve me anymore, you may leave!"

"Young Master Nangong, a veiled young lady came to see you today." The waiter bowed slightly, his face full of flattery.

"Does that girl have a beauty mark between her eyebrows?" Nangong Zeyue couldn't contain her excitement.

"Indeed, although I haven't seen the young lady's face clearly, she must be a beauty beyond compare. Congratulations, Young Master Nangong."

Nangong Zeyue turned around, took out a silver ingot from under her pillow, and tossed it over: "Here's a reward for you."

"Thank you, young master."

The waiter was so happy to receive the reward that he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude before leaving.

Nangong Zeyue didn't bother with her midnight snack and turned to get her clothes.

My heart is pounding.

The fact that Miss Jiang took the initiative to find him means she considers him a friend?

He had just opened the wardrobe when his hand, which was about to take out clothes, froze in mid-air.

The clinic was already closed by then, so where could he look for her?

Going to see her in the middle of the night would damage her reputation.

...

The next day, a long queue formed in front of Nangong Zeyuejian Jishengtang.

As the crowd of patients gradually thinned out, Nangong Zeyue suppressed her excitement and peered into the clinic.

This sight was alarming; he stumbled and almost fell in.

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

"Uncle-Master!"

Ignoring the strange looks from everyone, Nangong Zeyue shouted excitedly into the room, "Uncle-Master! I've finally found you!"

Lin Miaoshou looked up at the man walking towards her, those familiar fox-like eyes.

"Zeyue, is that you?"

The last time I saw Nangong Zeyue was five years ago.

The once naive young man has now grown into a handsome young gentleman.

Nangong Zeyue stepped forward and grabbed Lin Miaoshou's arm, so excited that she was incoherent: "Uncle-Master, Master... he thought... he thought you..."

In the end, Nangong Zeyue swallowed back the ominous words.

Jiang Shuyue was completely confused.

It turns out that the person Nangong Zeyue was looking for was Lin Miaoshou!

What a coincidence!

"Don't rush, let's finish seeing the patients in the room first, then we can go home and catch up slowly." Lin Miaoshou suppressed her excitement and gently patted Nangong Zeyue's shoulder.

"Oh! By the way, I'm here to see Miss Jiang today."

Nangong Zeyue looked at Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue pointed to the chair next to her, indicating that he should sit down and wait.

Nangong Zeyue suppressed her excitement and watched Jiang Shuyue take the patient's pulse and prepare the medicine. Her eyes were as bright and gentle as the spring sunshine.

Su Nan, with great perceptiveness, served Nangong Zeyue a cup of tea.

After the last patient left the clinic, Lin Miaoshou led Nangong Zeyue back to the courtyard, along with Jiang Shuyue.

After they sat down, Qiuju served tea, and Jiang Shuyue listened quietly to their conversation.

It was only through Lin Miaoshou's introduction that Jiang Shuyue learned that Nangong Zeyue was also a person with a tragic fate.

He lived in Black Pool Valley with his master.

Nineteen years ago, his master, Nangong Guyan, encountered a group of masked men chasing several people dressed as merchants outside Black Pool Valley. Among them was a woman holding a child who was about one year old.

Without hesitation, Nangong Guyan stepped in to help, repelling the masked man and rescuing the child from the woman's arms.

Unfortunately, the woman's injuries were too severe, and she could no longer speak. Judging from the woman's lip movements, Nangong Guyan thought she was calling for the young master.

Based on the woman's attire, Nangong Guyan deduced that she must be the child's wet nurse.

When Nangong Guyan brought the child back to Black Pool Valley, she discovered that the child was wearing a high-quality jade pendant around his neck.

Since the child had no other items to prove his identity, Nangong Guyan had no choice but to name him Nangong Zeyue.

"Is this the jade pendant?" Jiang Shuyue turned her gaze to Nangong Zeyue's belt.

"No, it's this." Nangong Zeyue took the jade pendant off her neck and placed it in her palm.

A crescent moon is carved on the crystal-clear jade pendant, but there are no further clues.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Miaoshou looked at Nangong Zeyue: "Are you sure you don't want to continue investigating your background?"

Nangong Zeyue shook her head firmly: "I've searched almost the entire Wanling Kingdom, but I haven't found a single clue. Oh well, since we're being hunted down, it's better not to look for them."

"Master is worried about your safety, I will go and send a message back right away."

As soon as Nangong Zeyue stood up, her gaze was drawn to a pretty child standing at the door.

"Is this your son?" Nangong Zeyue turned to look at Jiang Shuyue.

"Tsk tsk tsk! This child is so handsome, he'll be a heartthrob for so many girls when he grows up!"
