Upon hearing this, Xia Lingyun naturally replied, "Then go and get it."
Doctor Liu had already anticipated this, and before Xia Lingyun could speak, he explained, "Moonfire Grass has extremely demanding growing conditions, and it usually only appears on extremely high cliffs. I really don't have anyone with such skills under my command."
Xia Lingyun thought it was something difficult!
He dismissed it, saying, "That's easy. Just tell me where the Moonfire Grass is, and I'll send someone to get it."
As a martial arts family, the Xia family has many people with good character, but they are certainly skilled in martial arts!
Dr. Liu was familiar with the terrain around Fengcheng and gave a direct answer: "The only place suitable for the growth of Moonfire Grass that can be reached within three days is Misty Forest Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yinyin volunteered, "Father, I'll personally lead the men to retrieve it!"
Xia Lingyun looked at Xia Yinyin with relief; thankfully, his daughter was a good one.
Moonfire Grass is related to summer life, so entrusting it to close relatives is the most reassuring thing to do.
Moreover, Xia Yinyin's martial arts skills are among the best of the younger generation, even surpassing many of the older generation.
Xia Lingyun instructed, "Okay, bring more people, and be sure to retrieve the Moonfire Grass."
Xia Yinyin nodded confidently, reassuring her father that it was just picking grass from the cliff top, a piece of cake.
Xia Yinyin then looked at Su Jinxia, "I'd like to trouble Miss Su to come with me as well. After all, we don't know Moonfire Grass. We'll feel more at ease if Miss Su is with us."
Shen Qianxue's brows, which had finally relaxed a little, furrowed again.
What does this have to do with Su Jin?
Why should she go?!
Unexpectedly, Su Jin smiled and said, "If you're going to help someone, go all the way. I'll go with you."
Shen Qianxue was somewhat surprised. Su Jin seemed to care a lot about the Xia family's affairs, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she had already taken Xia Yang's life and death into her own hands.
"Then I'll go with you." Shen Qianxue didn't stop her, but said it with doting affection.
Su Jin nodded and gave him a sweet smile.
Xia Yinyin, however, remained stern and disagreed, saying, "Why should the Phoenix Lord personally handle such a trivial matter? Brother Qianxue, why don't you stay and have tea with Father?"
Xia Lingyun tugged at Xia Yinyin, glared at her with displeasure, and said to Chen Qianxue with a forced smile, "It's wonderful that my dear nephew is willing to go."
With Shen Qianxue's help, wouldn't the Moonfire Grass be a piece of cake?
Shen Qianxue's eyes were full of impatience. I went to protect Ajin. What does it have to do with you?
Previously, I only thought that the Xia family was powerful and acted arrogantly, but I didn't realize that they were not only arrogant, but also stupid and greedy.
Xia Lingyun didn't bother to delve into the implications of Shen Qianxue's behavior today for their Xia Ke Manor, and urged, "Time is of the essence. Xia Yang can't wait any longer. Let's set off immediately."
So, Xia Yinyin personally selected two men and two women, making a group of seven, and headed to Misty Forest Mountain.
On the way, Su Jin looked at the two men and two women taking care of and flattering Xia Yinyin, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
The two men and two women were all very young, around the same age as Xia Yinyin, and were probably Xia Yinyin's confidants or lackeys.
At a time like this, instead of thinking about picking a few capable people, they actually...
Ugh, I can't bear to look.
After leaving Fengcheng, the seven men rode their horses forward and arrived at the foot of Wulin Mountain by evening.
Wulin Mountain soars into the clouds, its foothills covered with dense forests, and there is no human habitation for miles around.
Xia Yinyin ordered them to rest for one night and then go into the mountains again the next morning.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow, clearly disagreeing.
The Wulin Mountain is steep and dangerous, teeming with wild animals. If we don't leave now, we definitely won't reach the summit by tomorrow.
Then it will have to be delayed until the day after tomorrow. When we return, it will also be nighttime, so it will be delayed for another day.
Conversely, if we go into the mountains now, we can reach the summit by tomorrow evening. If things go well and we find the Moonfire Grass, we can leave the mountains early the day after tomorrow and return home that evening.
But what does when he goes back have to do with Su Jinxia?
In any case, it was on its last legs, and Xia Yang was waiting for the Moonfire Grass.
Su Jin remained silent, as did Shen Qianxue.
Xia Yinyin's teammate said worriedly, "There shouldn't be much danger near the foot of the mountain. Should we go into the mountain sooner and go back sooner? After all, the young master is waiting."
Xia Yinyin scolded, "We've been riding horses for most of the day and we're not in good shape. What if we encounter danger if we rush in? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We'll definitely get the Moonfire Grass tomorrow. If all else fails, we can just rush back tonight."
The teammates stopped talking.
As dusk fell, everyone gathered around the campfire to eat.
When leaving the city, Su Jin saw Xia Yinyin and the others preparing supplies for their trip into the mountains, so she bought some as well.
Shen Qianxue carried the package, taking out snacks and fruit to give to Su Jinxia every now and then, and wiping her mouth from time to time.
My eyes and my heart are filled with Su Jinxia.
Xia Yinyin gritted her teeth in hatred. Her father had said that Xia Ke Manor and Phoenix Pavilion were plotting something big, and once things were settled, they would arrange a marriage between the two families, with her brother Qianxue marrying her. But now…
The intimacy between Shen Qianxue and Su Jinxia is obvious. Just how far have they gone?
However, they definitely didn't get married!
The marriage of the Phoenix Queen must be a sensation in the martial arts world; there's no way it could be done without a word.
Therefore, Xia Yinyin felt that she still had a chance.
Before, Brother Qianxue was so good to her, gentle and polite, and he would always bring her gifts when he came. But now... because of this woman, Brother Qianxue doesn't even look at her anymore.
Xia Yinyin thought to herself: Su Jinxia, I won't let you get away with this. I won't let you take Qianxue away from me.
He's mine, he's mine!
"Little Fish, come with me, and you two come with me too."
Xia Yinyin suddenly called away the handsome young man named Xiaoyu and two other girls.
The four of them left and walked further and further away, only returning after quite a while.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Jinxia leaned on Shen Qianxue's shoulder for a short rest.
After a while, Xiaoyu suddenly came to Su Jinxia's side and cautiously called out, "Miss Su."
Su Jinxia slightly opened her eyes and looked at the handsome, fair-skinned face under the moonlight.
It must be said that Xiaoyu is extremely beautiful, especially fair-skinned. If she were a girl, she would definitely be a great beauty.
"What's wrong?" Su Jin asked gently.
Even when faced with a gentle and handsome man, Su Jinxia still maintained a good temper.
Shen Qianxue, on the other hand, suddenly felt her body temperature drop. She stared at Xiaoyu with hostility, as if to say: What a fearless pretty boy, daring to get close to my wife.
The nights were already a bit chilly in early autumn, and now they were even colder.
Xiao Yu seemed oblivious to Shen Qianxue's icy gaze. Her starry eyes remained fixed on Su Jinxia as she handed her a jade bowl. "This is hot soup we just cooked. It's a bit chilly, so please drink some to warm yourself up."
Su Jinxia raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at the bowl.
Little Fish quickly explained, "This is clean; I haven't drunk from it yet."
Su Jinxia gave a light "oh," accepted the kindness, and held it in her hands to warm them.
As the steam rose, Su Jinxia's cheeks flushed slightly.
Xiao Yu sat down on the other side of Su Jin and said shyly, "I heard that Miss Su is a miracle doctor. I have a congenital deficiency, and a doctor once said that I would not live past the age of twenty. I wonder if you could take a look at me?"
