Chapter 405: Being tricked

"Going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to find something, and that thing is guarded by monsters? What could it be?"

I frowned, my intuition told me that what this woman wanted to find might be extremely complicated.

Seeing that I frowned and didn't say anything, she took a sip of hot tea from her teacup, and then said lightly: "You may encounter danger this time. Even I am a little unsure. We... after all, we are not very familiar with each other, so you can refuse."

I was stunned after hearing her words, then smiled and shook my head, saying: "Not really, when are we leaving?"

I am really not familiar with her, and I really don't want to help her from the bottom of my heart. After all, I am not an idle person. But I can't refuse to give face to Huang Shuai. In this case, I might as well do a favor.

"The sooner the better, I don't have much time." She looked at me and said.

"She doesn't have much time? What do you mean?" I looked suspicious.

She seemed to see through what I was thinking. She took a deep breath and said, "My grandpa is critically ill and urgently needs a snow lotus flower that is at least a thousand years old to detoxify. After much inquiry, I learned that there is one on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and it is rooted in the Blue Moon Lake on the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It is said that this snow lotus is already 1,500 years old, which is exactly what my grandpa needs. However, wherever there are natural treasures, there must be monsters guarding them, so I need a helper."

"Is your grandpa poisoned?" I frowned.

As far as I know, snow lotus flowers are cold in nature and are specially used to clear away heat and detoxify. Could it be that the poison in her grandpa is related to yang poison?

Moreover, I read a magazine introducing Lijiang attractions on the plane to Lijiang. The Blue Moon Lake introduced in the magazine is clearly at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Why did she say that the Blue Moon Lake is at the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?

"Yes." Huang Jiu nodded and said, "Recently, I have visited many famous doctors, but they were all helpless against the poison in my grandfather. Finally, an expert gave me advice and told me about this snow lotus, so I want to try it."

I nodded, and then expressed my doubts in my heart: "The Blue Moon Lake you are talking about, is it not the one at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?"

"Yes and no." She shook her head gently, and then continued: "The Blue Moon Lake at the foot of the mountain is just a branch. The Blue Moon Lake on the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the real Blue Moon Lake. Legend has it that every night, the night sky above Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will be extremely clear. The azure night sky accompanied by the moonlight will fall on the Blue Moon Lake, making the entire lake look like a sapphire, very beautiful. And the Pearl Snow Lotus is rooted in this lake, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for 1,500 years, and has a strong medicinal power."

I pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said: "I still have things to deal with, I need some time."

"How long?" Huang Jiu asked.

I thought about it and said, "We can leave tomorrow."

I came here to check the Feng Shui for Liang Qing. Now, I haven't finished her business yet, and Liang Qing's company was burned down, so I have to help her choose a new location as soon as possible.

"Okay." She nodded, then glanced at her watch and said, "I still have to go shopping, so let's meet at the airport at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay." I nodded and shook hands with Huang Jiu again.

"After this incident, I will be rewarded handsomely. Bye." Huang Jiu smiled at me, then picked up a travel bag and left quickly.

I stood there, staring at Huang Jiu's back for a long time.

This woman speaks and does things without dragging her feet, giving people a feeling of being swift and efficient. This feeling makes me like her very much, and at the same time, I am curious about the identity of this woman.

"Huang Shuai said that she is the descendant of an old friend, so Huang Jiu's family background must be very complicated. I just don't know what her family does? A Feng Shui family? Or... is the elder in her family a member of the Wu Shushan reserve?"

At this time, Huang Jiu's dashing figure had disappeared around the corner. I also came back to my senses, picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea, then turned and went downstairs.

But when I went downstairs, the waiter came up with a warm face and gave me a bill.

"Sir, please settle the bill."

I was stunned when I heard it, and said in surprise: "Didn't the lady settle the bill before?"

"No." The waiter shook his head.

I was confused when I heard that, thinking, what the hell

is going on? I'm here to help you, why do I have to pay for a cup of tea? "Did you forget to pay because you were in a hurry?" I shook my head helplessly, then looked down at the bill.

But when I saw this, my eyes almost popped out.

"One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine?" I widened my eyes, full of astonishment: "It's just two cups of tea, but it's so expensive? Why don't you just go and grab it?"

"Uh..." The waiter looked at me embarrassedly, smiled dryly and said, "Sir, this is how we charge here. May I ask...are you paying in cash or by card? WeChat payment is also acceptable."

"WeChat payment." I breathed a sigh of relief, and my perfect impression of Huang Jiu was instantly greatly reduced.

After paying the bill, I walked out of the restaurant with a painful look on my face. I turned around and took a look at the restaurant's facade. I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "Damn, this kind of shop used to be called a black shop, and they had to hide their business from others. Now they can be so blatant? If I come here again, I will take your last name." After

I said that, I turned around and walked forward angrily, but maybe I turned around too quickly and bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry." I apologized hastily, and then looked up and saw that the person I bumped into was Huang Jiu who had just left. 7K妏敩

"Why are you back again?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I left in a hurry just now and forgot to settle the bill. Su Wen used to settle the bill, so..."

At this point, she smiled unnaturally, and her smile was full of embarrassment.

But I twitched my mouth when I heard it, thinking, damn, I have already settled it. Now that you are back, I am embarrassed to ask you for it!

"It's okay, I have settled it." I said generously, but I was thinking in my heart: "She should give it back to me."

After all, it is two thousand yuan. In our village, this is the money my master gave to people to preside over four funerals, which is comparable to the living expenses of our master and apprentice for two months.

"Oh, thank you."

Unexpectedly, Huang Jiu just smiled and said hello to me before turning around and leaving.

As for me, I was completely confused, and I watched her leaving for a long time without coming back to my senses. It was not

until her dashing figure disappeared at the intersection of the pedestrian street that I came back to my senses, swallowed my saliva with a "gulp", and then murmured: "Just like that... left?"

Damn it!
