"Used in medicine."
The young girl answered readily, which made the boss's eyes light up, and he seemed even more interested in her.
"Are you a pharmacist?"
Meeting the shopkeeper's expectant gaze, Qi Jiu nodded. "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't know where this dragon's wing grass grows, which is why I was a little surprised by that little bit earlier."
"Pharmacist...?" Mengling looked at Xilin beside her, a hint of doubt in her eyes. But seeing the same doubt in Xilin's eyes, she sighed.
When the two men on the left and right both focused their attention on Lin Yan, they knew that their successor was no mere figurehead. Not before, but now he was already a powerful figure!
Having received the answer he wanted, the boss's smile widened even more.
"Alright, since you are a pharmacist, this dragon's wing grass is of some use to you. You may take this dragon's wing grass."
In the end, Mengling and the other two looked at Qijiu, who hadn't spent a single penny but had reaped a considerable harvest, and pursed their lips.
I thought this exaggerated, pointless plot was something I could only see on TV, but I've actually seen it twice in the last few weeks.
The world seems to have become more fantastical...
On the highway, three expensive cars were driving smoothly when suddenly, Qi Jiu, who had been taking a nap with her eyes closed, abruptly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he had spotted prey. This very action caught the attention of Lin Yan standing nearby.
"sister?"
"Xilin, drive more steadily."
Xilin was taken aback, seemingly not understanding why Qijiu would say that, but still obediently nodded, "Okay, Miss."
The next second, "Bang!"
Suddenly, a collision sound came from the side, and then you could see that the car next to you was driving erratically and was now veering all over the place.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of everyone in the car changed, except for Qi Jiu, whose expression remained unchanged. "Xi Lin, don't panic, drive normally."
Xilin's Adam's apple bobbed as he nodded.
Mengling, standing next to her, instinctively went on alert, looking around at her surroundings with a furrowed brow, and finally spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.
"Miss, we're being watched."
Fortunately, their car was in the middle of the three vehicles; otherwise, they would be the ones being attacked directly.
Qi Jiu glanced at the car next to her that was completely unharmed and breathed a sigh of relief.
She would feel guilty if the car next to her got into an accident because of this.
Fortunately, their vehicles were equipped with explosion-proof devices; otherwise, the man next to them might already be in trouble.
"Miss, the situation seems to be getting worse."
As Mengling looked out the window at the ever-increasing number of vehicles, her expression grew increasingly serious.
"Bang!"
Another collision sounded. If someone were nearby, they would have seen the vehicles that suddenly appeared and began their attack.
The car was their weapon; they actually wanted to ram Qi Jiu's car! This was extremely dangerous; they were trying to kill her!
The car swayed back and forth, its instability carrying a strong sense of danger.
Qi Jiu looked out the window at the rapidly accelerating cars and pursed her lips. "Stop the car."
"Miss?"
"Stop the car. Even if we don't stop, they'll force us to."
Sure enough, the next second, a car appeared to be parked directly in front of them.
"scold--"
The car came to a straight stop, and everyone inside was thrown forward by inertia.
"Don't panic, tell the brothers to get out of the car." As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu got out of the car without hesitation. The attacker's movements stopped because of her action.
As they watched the car blocking their way, a person got out of the car door, his movements quite unrestrained and unconventional.
It was a man dressed in black, close-fitting clothes and wearing Doc Martens. He stomped his foot arrogantly and glanced at Qi Jiu and the others.
"The heir of the Delin family?"
The other person was holding a dagger and fiddling with it in their hand.
"A young lady of such high birth only brought this few people with her? She's got some nerve."
As soon as he finished speaking, more and more people gathered around him, and judging from their posture, each of them seemed to be a trained fighter. Judging by the amount of money they were going all out, a fierce battle was definitely in store for them.
"Miss."
Mengling immediately shielded the girl behind her, her voice low and menacing. "Miss, if anything changes, just run! Mengling will cover your retreat!"
Xilin arrived here at some point. Although he didn't say a word, his actions spoke volumes.
Lin Yan, however, scratched his head as he watched their actions. His eyes seemed somewhat confused, but in the end, he silently stepped in front of Qi Jiu, just like them.
"It's okay, don't worry about me." Qi Jiu pushed the two people in front of her apart.
"How can that be? What are you saying, Miss?" Mengling immediately disagreed, and her originally delicate baby face now looked rather ugly.
Qi Jiu: "...I'm serious."
The girl's eyes darted around, finally settling on the leader of the group.
“It’s not that I’m bold, but that I understand my own abilities and know that you are not.”
Now, regardless of whether she has two guards by her side, the Delin family, or the people in front of her, they should all think that she knows nothing about martial arts.
"How arrogant!"
Bai Feng gripped the dagger in his hand and hurled it straight at Qi Jiu.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
As the dagger drew ever closer, the girl's expression remained largely unchanged. Seeing Mengling trying to block the attack, she swiftly pulled Mengling aside, easily dodging the dagger.
The movements were so agile that Bai Feng was taken aback.
"Your technique is still not up to par."
The little girl pulled out a dagger from somewhere and, without any hesitation, hurled it straight at Bai Feng.
"Whoosh—"
Feeling the stinging pain on his cheek, Bai Feng's eyes widened. He touched his cheek in disbelief, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the bright red color on his fingers.
Young lady? Just a pretty face? Looks like that's not it. I didn't expect this heir to be such a hidden talent.
It seems that things will be a bit difficult after this.
Not to mention Bai Feng, Meng Ling and Xi Lin were both staring at Qi Jiu in disbelief. "Miss, you actually..."
"I didn't say I couldn't." When it comes to fighting, she's an expert.
Mengling and Xilin: "..."
The people around Bai Feng had already raised their weapons the moment Bai Feng's cheek was injured.
