She wasn't lying; there were indeed disloyal people within the Delin family, but now wasn't the time to expose them. Otherwise, everything they had done would be in vain.

Just as she got into the car, Qi Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something and turned her gaze to Meng Ling in the passenger seat.

"I remember there's a purchasing market around here?"

Mengling was taken aback. "Yes, Miss, you..."

"Then let's not waste our trip. Let's go check out the purchasing market next door."

As she spoke, the girl turned to her side and closed her eyes for a nap. Lin Yan, who was next to her, didn't dare to say anything. He wanted to play on his phone, but he could only humbly turn off the sound. Even if he was angry while playing games, he could only suppress his anger.

Seeing all of Xilin: "..." How pathetic.

The car drove very smoothly on the road, which allowed the little girl to rest quite well.

Soon, the car slowly came to a stop. At the same time, Qi Jiu opened her eyes, her eyes still a little sleepy, and looked at the awards outside the window.

"Miss, we've arrived."

Qi Jiu hummed in agreement and got out of the car. This market was different from the bustling high-rise shopping malls of H Continent; it seemed... more down-to-earth?

There are no skyscrapers here, nor any international luxury brands. At first glance, it seems to be all small street stalls, which makes their goods appear to be inexpensive.

However, the experienced Qi Jiu could tell at a glance that the items inside were all quite valuable.

Although their shops and stalls are very down-to-earth, this must be the characteristic of their purchasing market.

"Miss, is there anything you need to buy? What do you need? I'll find it for you. There are too many people here, it might be too much trouble..."

Meng Lin looked at the road in front of her, which had a lot of people, and her face showed some difficulty.

What they need to ensure now is that nothing happens to the heiress beside them.

"It's alright. Since there are too many people around, we don't need to bring so many people. Let the guys in the cars behind wait outside. After a whole morning, they should be tired. They should get some rest."

The girl's tone left Mengling with no choice but to nod.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Jiu looked at Meng Ling on her left and Xi Lin on her right and pursed her lips.

"Don't you guys think I'm a little cramped right now?"

The two of them squeezed her in the middle like bread, instantly turning her into a hamburger. What's even funnier is that they were standing right next to her, making the road suddenly feel less wide.

"Miss, there are too many people here, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. Are you two doing something like this because you want everyone to know?"

While it's good to be cautious, with so many people around, the actions of these few individuals were rather suspicious, and it was immediately apparent that they were quite different from the people around them.

"Huh? Oh..."

Upon hearing this, Mengling and Xilin had no choice but to make room for each other.

Qi Jiu: "..."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mengling looked at the young lady who acted like a lord and pursed her lips.

Miss said she wanted to buy something? She's been browsing for ages and hasn't said anything, not even stopping at a single stall. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was doing a race walk.

Xilin, who was standing next to him, didn't dare to speak either. In the end, the two of them could only focus their attention on Lin Yan.

Lin Yan: "..."

Very well, so he's the one who does all the stupid things, right?

"Sis, we're almost at the end of this street. What do you want to buy? Tell us, and we can keep an eye out for something."

Qi Jiu looked up, her eyes somewhat innocent. "Who said I had anything I needed to buy? I was just looking around."

Lin Yan: "..." Take a look? But I haven't seen you stop to take a look.

The four of them were still walking along the road, looking at all sorts of things on the ground, and were a little dazzled for a moment.

Listening to the shouts and calls from the side, the purchasing market was quite lively.

The group walked for an unknown amount of time when suddenly, Qi Jiu stopped abruptly upon seeing something, her eyes instantly showing interest.

"Miss?" Xilin saw the girl suddenly quicken her pace and followed her.

"Dragon's Head Grass".

When Lingyan and the others caught up, they saw Qijiu squatting in front of a small stall, holding something in her hand.

What are you saying... what kind of grass?

"Oh! Young lady, you recognize this dragon's breath grass! This dragon's breath grass is the best quality from the snow-capped mountains of H Continent; you can't find it anywhere else!"

The stall owner initially had a stern face, and his stall was quite simple compared to the ones next to it, making him seem somewhat out of place in this bustling market.

But Qi Jiu's appearance was like he had finally found his special guest, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"This grass has such a nice name? It doesn't even sound like a dragon..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan, feeling the stall owner's murderous gaze, thought, "..." Yes, I'm sorry...

There's no wife in "wife cake".

The girl chuckled softly, "Boss, how much dragon's breath do you have left?"

This dragon's wing grass is indeed quite rare. Given China's climate and geography, it shouldn't grow there, not even in snow-capped mountains. It seems only the snow-capped mountains here can support it.

"Only a few left." The stall owner was an elderly man. "Young lady, putting everything else aside, my dragon's breath is absolutely unique in this entire market, and it's also the best quality."

That is indeed true.

Dragon's wing grass is considered relatively precious in pharmacology, but it is also not uncommon to find.

Given its geographical location, this dragon's breath grass is quite rare.

"Boss, I'll take all of these dragon's breath grass. How much do you want?"

This dragon's breath grass is rare and precious. It's already quite difficult to find even a few of these now. Since we've come across them, we can't let them go.

"How much?" the stall owner muttered to himself, seemingly unsure of the price for the dragon's wing grass. But looking at Qi Jiu's expression, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and chuckled.

“Little girl, I’ll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I won’t take a single penny of this dragon’s breath grass.”

"Not a single cent?"

I feel like I've heard that phrase somewhere before.

Linde: "..."

"Yes, not a penny." The boss seemed quite certain, but Qi Jiu just smiled.

"This dragon's breath grows on snow-capped mountains in a harsh environment. Its rarity isn't just due to the harsh environment, but also because harvesting it is dangerous. Are you sure you don't want a single cent?"

"Okay, young lady, just focus on answering the questions."

The girl nodded knowingly. "Please ask."

"I'd like to ask you, young lady, what are you buying this dragon's breath for?"
