If it weren't for the fact that he still needed Old Man Han to find herbs, County Magistrate Han would have wanted to sew his father's mouth shut.
"Dad, could you please stop testing your luck on the edge of death?"
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, but if you harm our Han family, don't blame me for being rude."
He whispered a reminder in his father's ear and then pulled him out.
Old Han was dragged away cursing at the sight of County Magistrate Han, while Shangguan Lingyun followed behind with Ye Xiaoxiao in his arms.
"So it seems that the fruitless news was provided by this old man."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant in front of us."
"He was so shameless because he knew we needed the herbs. He didn't expect that he would blame us directly."
Shangguan Lingyun sneered, "Then how do you plan to deal with him?"
Ye Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly. "Being a scoundrel won't be punishable by death, but it depends on how bad he is and whether he has killed anyone."
"Finding the herbs is the most important thing first. Next, let the people from the No. 1 Manor in the World investigate."
Shangguan Lingyun did not object, and everyone followed the Han father and son to the foot of Taikang Mountain.
Not long after he left, Old Han's old illness recurred.
"Oh my, I didn't even have a bite to eat just now, and now I have to hurry and climb the mountain. I can't walk anymore."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, "Old man, would you like to sit in the carriage?"
County Magistrate Han had cold sweat on his forehead, fearing that the old man would go straight up to him, so he grabbed him and said in a flattering way.
"You don't have to worry about him, madam. He's in good health. He can walk a few more steps and be fine."
The old man was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw Shangguan Lingyun's unapproachable look, he didn't dare to go up.
"Hmph, my son is right. The old man is in good health, not like... woo~"
Before he could finish his words, County Magistrate Han covered his mouth and pulled him away.
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "I'm very curious about how this old man survived until now."
Shangguan Lingyun said calmly, "Taikang Mountain is located in a remote area, and the county magistrate is like a local emperor."
"What's more, he's the county magistrate's father, and he has a golden medal of immunity from death given by the emperor. Isn't that why he survived? And he became more and more rampant as he lived."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing. After the carriage followed Old Man Han to the foot of the mountain, it could not go any higher.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the mountain road is difficult to travel. From now on, I'm afraid you will have to trouble me to walk with us."
Old Han looked at everyone in a weird way, but Shangguan Lingyun and the others did not agree with him.
"Old man, where on the mountain is the herb you mentioned?"
Old Han pointed to the top of the mountain and said.
"There's a cliff on the top of the mountain. Next to the cliff is a cave. Inside the cave is a pool. Behind the pool..."
The old man spoke very quickly on purpose, but Shangguan Lingyun and Ye Xiaoxiao were both people who could remember everything after hearing it once, so how could they be stumped by him?
"County Magistrate Han, I'll have to trouble you to take your father up the mountain."
"Your Majesty and I will go ahead. We will gather at the top of the mountain."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she ignored Old Han's muttering and was held in Shangguan Lingyun's arms. After a few takeoffs and landings, she had already flown a long way away.
Tianxuan and Wang Xiao hurried to catch up, while Old Han and County Magistrate Han had to climb up slowly from behind.
When County Magistrate Han saw that everyone had gone far away, he looked at his father with some uncertainty.
"Dad, what are you going to do? Do you know that the emperor's golden medal of immunity from death is worthless in the eyes of His Majesty?"
"If Your Majesty wants to kill us, it would be as easy as crushing an ant."
Old Han snorted indifferently, "What do you know? I know where the herbs are. They dare not do anything to me."
County Magistrate Han was speechless. He patiently tried to explain things to his father as they walked.
But his father refused to listen. No matter what he said, Old Man Han still acted as if he was the biggest boss in the world.
County Magistrate Han was so angry that if he didn't need his father to find herbs, he would have wanted to push the man off the mountain.
This was not the first time he had the intention to kill his father, but unfortunately, he did not do it every time because he was too soft-hearted.
As a result, his father has become so fearless now.
Sighing, County Magistrate Han suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and pulled his father forward.
Shangguan Lingyun took Ye Xiaoxiao for a walk while enjoying the scenery, and soon they arrived at the cliff on the top of the mountain.
Tianxuan and Wang Xiao followed closely behind. After reaching the top of the mountain, they began to look for the cave that Old Man Han had mentioned.
But no matter how long they searched, they found no signs of a cave.
Ye Xiaoxiao said lightly with a sneer in her eyes.
"No need to look for him. That old man is lying. Let's wait until they come up."
When Wang Xiao heard this, he was extremely angry.
"This old man is so bold! I wonder if he's really that brave."
Ye Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, "He's not being daring, he's just ignorant and fearless."
"Let's find a place to rest for a while. They are still climbing."
Tianxuan and Wang Xiao heard this, so they found a place to sit down.
Looking at the two small black dots gradually approaching, Ye Xiaoxiao had a bad idea in her mind.
Her feet were lifting rocks intentionally or unintentionally, and soon, a fist-sized stone rolled down the hillside.
"Hey, why are there still stones?"
Ye Xiaoxiao showed a wicked smile on her face, and then kicked a few more stones down.
