Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 225 Qingli Fruit

Moon-Lan Pavilion.

Jiang Yueyang didn’t know what the fate of the Fifth Princess and the eunuch Kang An would be. She only knew that she was very uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen.

She sat in the corridor, absentmindedly stroking the little white fox in her arms, her eyes fixed forward.

It seemed as if he was watching Lingfeng and Xiangling tending to the flowers and plants, but it also seemed as if he was not seeing anything.

Ling Feng keenly noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Yueyang, and whispered to Xiang Ling: "What's wrong with the girl?"

Xiangling shook her head. "When we discussed holding a banquet for the young master, something was wrong with the girl. After she came back from the palace, she became even more strange. I asked her, and she said she was fine."

"Does the girl look okay?"

"I know the girl has something on her mind, but if she doesn't tell me, I don't know what to do."

"Go ask again."

Xiangling nodded, stood up and walked towards Jiang Yueyang.

She squatted beside Jiang Yueyang and asked carefully, "Did the girl encounter anything unhappy?"

Jiang Yueyang shook her head.

"Why does that girl look so worried?"

"I don't know. I just feel a little uneasy and confused."

At this time, on the other side, Lu Yunting woke up from his coma.

Before, the vultures came.

After he killed it, he attracted nearly ten vultures.

Because he was hanging in the air and there were so many vultures, it was difficult for him to deal with them alone.

Although he later dealt with all the attacking vultures, he was also injured.

As a result, when he continued to climb down, he was unable to deal with the huge python and accidentally fell off the cliff.

Fortunately, when he fell, he saw a tree growing on the rock wall and was able to save his life.

But he also fell into a brief coma due to the impact.

After waking up, he found a protruding stone platform under the tree, and in front of the stone platform was the legendary iron lock.

Without further ado, Lu Yunting climbed down the stone wall. After climbing a certain distance, he jumped onto the stone platform.

The iron lock was very thick, and ordinary people could easily get through it with the help of tools. For someone like Lu Yunting who had superb martial arts skills, it would be even easier.

But the fight with the vulture had consumed too much of his energy, and he now needed to recover his strength first.

So, he simply treated his wound and blew the "Whisper of the Wind" he carried with him.

On the cliff, Xu An, who was crying loudly, stopped suddenly when he heard the whistle.

Gu Ling'er didn't hear the whistle and continued to comfort him, "It's useless for you to stay here. Your son can't survive after falling off the cliff."

"Ah!" Xu An screamed happily, "My young master is not dead, he is not dead!"

He was so excited that he used both hands and feet to climb to the edge of the cliff. Gu Ling'er mistakenly thought that he was going to commit suicide and subconsciously reached out to grab him.

Xu An took a deep breath and shouted, "Young Master!"

"Hey~ Don't get so close to the cliff." Gu Ling'er pulled him back a little, "You will die before your young master dies later."

At this time, the whistle sounded again.

"Listen, that's the voice of the Wind. My son is telling me that he is safe now."

This time, Gu Ling'er also heard the whistle.

"Since your young master is alive, why don't you wipe your tears quickly? It's shameful for a grown man to cry like this!"

Xu An wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, not caring about Gu Ling'er's words, and smiled: "I... I'm going to prepare a longer rope to pull the young master up."

An hour later, under the cliff.

After recovering his strength, Lu Yunting gathered his strength and used his lightness skills to quickly jump over the iron chain.

After successfully reaching the other side, he found a stone door here, and there seemed to be a cave behind the stone door.

He fumbled for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism to open the stone door.

So he temporarily put aside his curiosity about the cave behind the stone gate and began to climb upwards.

About a quarter of an hour later, he climbed up the Qingli Fruit Tree safely.

Xu An, who was on the other side of the cliff, saw Lu Yunting and excitedly waved and shouted, "Young Master!"

Lu Yunting glanced at him and then looked away, starting to pick the Qingli fruit.

Seeing this, Gu Ling'er also shouted, "Don't leave any behind. Pick all the Qingli fruits on the tree."

Then, Lu Yunting picked all the Qingli fruits on the tree.

Thinking that Jiang Yueyang liked these rare flowers and plants, he took out his dagger and dug a small sapling at the root of the tree.

He cut a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the muddy sapling.

Afterwards, considering the distance up and down, and the question of whether there was a way down after going up, Lu Yunting chose to go back to the opposite side.

After returning to the other side, he blew the "Whisper of the Wind" again.

When Xu An heard the whistle, his ears moved, and then he immediately dragged the rope to the side a few meters and threw the rope down.

Seeing this, Gu Linger asked curiously, "Why do you want to put the rope down here?"

"Because my son is here."

"How did you know he was here?"

"I can identify the location by sound."

Gu Ling'er was slightly surprised, and then asked, "What if the rope is not long enough?"

"Judging from the distance the sound came from, that's enough."

Just as he finished speaking, the rope that Xu An had been holding in his hand was pulled by someone.

Xu An immediately shouted to An Yi and the others, "Come here and help me pull my young master up."

A quarter of an hour later, in the pharmacy of the ancient genius doctor.

The grandfather and grandson stared at the Qingli Fruit in Lu Yunting's arms with shining eyes and drooling.

Divine Doctor Gu reached out to take the Qingli Fruit, but was avoided by Lu Yunting.

"Besides being used to cure poison, what other uses does the Qingli fruit have?"

"Why are you asking this?" Doctor Gu became alert.

"I paid with my life for this, is it okay for me to leave some behind?"

The ancient divine doctor thought for a moment and said, "In addition to being used to cure poison, the Qingli fruit is also one of the ingredients used to make Lingxi Powder."

Hearing this, Lu Yunting's pupils dilated slightly.

"Dr. Gu, how about we make a deal?"

Divine Doctor Gu looked at him with deep eyes, "What deal?"

"I can leave all the Qingli Fruits behind. Please ask the Divine Doctor Gu to sell me two Lingxi Pills."

"Sell?"

"right."

"Okay, I promise you, give me the Qingli fruit quickly."

During this trip, the mission assigned to him by Emperor Yuan was not only to meet the ancient miracle doctor, but also to obtain the "Lingxi Pills".

If the ancient doctor is determined not to see Emperor Yuan, he can also give him the "Lingxi Pills".

After Lu Yunting took out the saplings mixed in the Qingli fruits, he handed all the Qingli fruits to the ancient doctor.

Divine Doctor Gu's eyes widened immediately. "You, you, you... the sapling in your hand is not the sapling of the Qingli Fruit, right?"

"yes."

"Sell it to me."

"I'm not selling this." Lu Yunting refused.

The ancient divine doctor suddenly became anxious, "This old man can meet with the emperor."

“That’s not for sale either.”

"Why?"

"She likes it."
