Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

At night, Xu Mingyu lay in bed, her mind flashing back to the past few days, making her unable to sleep. In the end, she simply sat up, got out of bed, and tiptoed out of the door.

But as soon as she went out, she unexpectedly saw the girl carrying a bamboo basket, as if she was about to go out.

The girl frowned when she saw Xu Mingyu walk out of the room, and asked: "Why are you not sleeping at night?"

Xu Mingyu thought to herself: Aren't you not sleeping at night, and are you about to go out?

But Xu Mingyu didn't say what was in her mind, but asked, "Sister, are you going out?"

The girl said lightly, "Yes."

Xu Mingyu asked tentatively, "Then...is there anything I can help you with?"

"Help?" The girl looked at Xu Mingyu and pondered, "I'm going up the mountain to collect herbs now. You look so delicate, can you do it?"

Xu Mingyu nodded quickly, "I can do it! When I was on Ziqing Mountain, I often went up the mountain with my master to collect herbs."

But as soon as she said that, her face froze.

Did she just... mention the master?

The girl didn't notice Xu Mingyu's obviously wrong look, just nodded and said, "In that case, let's go together!"

As she said that, the girl carried the basket on her back and pushed open the simple fence door. Seeing this, Xu Mingyu hurriedly followed.

The two girls walked up the mountain under the moonlight, one in front and one behind. The girl didn't speak during the whole journey, and Xu Mingyu didn't know how to start, so the journey was quite boring.

Xu Mingyu was very grateful to the girl. After all, if it weren't for the girl, she would have been eaten by the monster long ago. She wanted to get closer to the girl, but she didn't know what to say. It was not until they walked seven or eight miles away that Xu Mingyu finally found a topic and asked, "That... Sister, why don't you go up the mountain during the day, but choose to go up the mountain at night?"

The girl said without turning her head: "There are others picking herbs during the day."

Xu Mingyu asked puzzledly: "So what? Don't they allow you to go up the mountain to pick herbs?"

The girl was silent for a moment, and then said lightly: "No. It's my appearance that scares them easily."

Xu Mingyu was speechless.

After a long time, Xu Mingyu said cautiously: "Sister, how did you get this face...? Can you tell me?"

The girl turned her head and glanced at Xu Mingyu, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be full of sarcasm: "I didn't know that people from Ziqing Holy Land like to meddle in other people's business so much."

Xu Mingyu's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but retorted: "I'm not meddling in other people's business! Since you saved me, I have to repay you. If I can heal the wound on your face, then we will owe each other nothing!"

The girl turned her head back and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Even if you don't heal my face, you don't have to repay me. I saved you, it was just a matter of convenience. If it was a puppy, I would also help."

Xu Mingyu's two thin eyebrows couldn't help but twisted together tightly.

Why is this girl so irritating?

Because of dissatisfaction in her heart, Xu Mingyu didn't speak again. The girl seemed to have forgotten that there was someone following her, and she was just looking for medicinal herbs in the dense grass. Every once in a while, she would bend down, carefully dig out a herb with a medicine hoe, and then put it in the backpack.

I don’t know where this girl got her ability. Although it was so dark in the grass that you couldn’t see your hand in front of you, she could see the road under her feet clearly, and she could also find herbs in hidden corners that ordinary people might not be able to find during the day.

Perhaps for this girl, there is not much difference between day and night.

Just thinking about it, the two of them had unknowingly arrived in front of a lake. The girl looked at a corner of the lake, suddenly "Huh", quickly stepped forward, and stopped in front of a blue herb. She slowly squatted down, looked at the blue herb, and said to herself: "I didn't expect to see Tianshui Youlan Grass here..."

"Tianshui Youlan Grass?!" Hearing this term, Xu Mingyu couldn't help but exclaimed, "Tianshui Youlan Grass is naturally watery. Eating it can not only improve your cultivation, but also strengthen your affinity with water attributes. Not only that, it is also the main ingredient of Tianshui Pills, which is priceless. Is this herb really Tianshui Youlan Grass?"

The girl carefully dug out the Tianshui Youlan Grass and said lightly: "I didn't expect you to know a lot about this Tianshui Youlan Grass."

Xu Mingyu was surprised: "I have never seen this Tianshui Youlan Grass in Ziqing Holy Land. Speaking of this Tianshui Youlan grass, most people will never see it in their lifetime. I have never seen it once, and I have only seen illustrations in the classics. Why are you so sure that this is Tianshui Youlan grass? I think it looks very similar to Bingpo Youlan grass! "

The girl said: "Although Tianshui Youlan grass and Bingpo Youlan grass look very similar, there are still many differences. Tianshui Youlan grass has nine leaves, while Bingpo Youlan grass has twelve leaves; Tianshui Youlan grass usually grows by the lake, while Bingpo Youlan grass usually grows in the grass; Tianshui Youlan grass will appear blue-gray under the moonlight, while Bingpo Youlan grass is azure blue..."

Listening to the girl talking, Xu Mingyu suddenly realized. But she immediately looked at the girl with a strange expression and asked: "These details are not even recorded in the classics of Ziqing Holy Land. Where did you hear them from?"

The girl paused for a moment.

But she quickly continued her movements, saying calmly: "It seems that an older brother told me, but I can't remember who he is."

Xu Mingyu was stunned.

The girl's words confused Xu Mingyu. She suddenly felt that the girl's reluctance to tell her name before might not be because she didn't want to say it, but because she had something to hide.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Mingyu asked: "Sister, have you...always been alone?"

Perhaps because she dug up a rare herb, the girl's tone changed from the coldness just now, and obviously became much lighter: "Well, I have always been alone."

"Don't you feel lonely?" Xu Mingyu asked curiously.

The girl chuckled and said: "What about being lonely? What about not being lonely? With my appearance, is there anyone willing to accompany me?"

Xu Mingyu said sullenly: "Actually...actually I am willing to accompany you."

The girl turned her head, and the hideous scar on her face looked even more terrifying under the moonlight. She pointed at her face and said to Xu Mingyu: "Don't you feel scared when you look at my face?"

Xu Mingyu shook his head and said: "Some people have a friendly smile on their faces, but they are thinking about conspiracy in their hearts. Such people, no matter how good-looking they are, are much more terrifying in their hearts than your face."

The girl looked at Xu Mingyu and said playfully: "It seems that you have some stories of your own!"

Xu Mingyu was speechless for a while.

The girl gently put the Tianshui Youlan grass she had just dug into the backpack and said: "Continue to collect herbs!"

Then, the two of them walked around the mountain for three hours and collected a lot of herbs. It was not until the sky in the east was slightly bright that the two went down the mountain.

After returning to the wooden house, the girl began to deal with the herbs she had collected, and Xu Mingyu helped her.

After one night, the relationship between the two became much closer. The expression on the girl's face was no longer cold, but a little softer. While helping to process the herbs, Xu Mingyu occasionally turned his head to observe the girl quietly, and found that apart from the hideous scars on her face, the girl's foundation was actually quite good.

A pair of big eyes were like a calm ancient well, and a pair of white ears were crystal clear. The skin was as white and tender as tofu, and the slender jade neck was as elegant as a swan. A cherry mouth was even more pink and tender like a peach.

Xu Mingyu suddenly had a bold guess in his mind. If the girl didn't have these scars on her face, she might be a stunning beauty with outstanding appearance.

But it was these scars that destroyed all the beauty on the girl's face, leaving only hideousness.

The girl didn't seem to notice Xu Mingyu's secret observation of her, and she processed all the herbs on her own. As for the Tianshui Youlan grass, the girl stared at it for a long time before she sighed and murmured, "This Tianshui Youlan grass is a little difficult to handle!"

Xu Mingyu heard this and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

The girl said, "Once this Tianshui Youlan grass is dug out, it should not be kept for a long time. It must be planted as soon as possible or refined into a pill. But I don't have the conditions to plant it here, let alone refine it into a pill. The only choice may be to sell it."

Xu Mingyu asked, "Is there a place nearby that can buy Tianshui Youlan grass?"

Tianshui Youlan grass is extremely rare, and the market price is naturally extremely expensive, and it is often out of stock. Therefore, there are usually no people or forces in small cities who can buy Tianshui Youlan grass. If you want to sell it, you have to go to a big city.

The girl raised her head, looked northwest, and murmured, "I remember there is a big city about 300 miles away in that direction, maybe we can sell the Tianshui Youlan grass there."

Xu Mingyu's eyes lit up: "In that case, let's go there and sell the Tianshui Youlan grass!"

The girl glanced at Xu Mingyu, and her face showed obvious hesitation. But she shook her head and said lightly: "Before going, I have to make some preparations. You go and rest first, I will call you when it's time to eat."

After that, the girl went straight into the cabin.

And Xu Mingyu looked at the cabin and murmured: "Maybe in that city, I can find a way to treat the scar on your face!"
