CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 393 THE MAN BLESSED BY GOD

The Witch Mountain is warm in spring.

Meng Qianqian, Lu Yuan, Chen Long, Ji Li, and Luo San went to the small garden.

Za Muduo served them tea and Miaojiang’s unique snacks.

Meng Qianqian said, "Za Muduo, Grandmother wants you to bring her the medicine box. She’s in the Changle courtyard."

Za Muduo replied promptly, "Understood, Young Madam, I’ll go right away."

After Za Muduo left, Luo Shan picked up a snack from the table and said to everyone, "The fresh flower pastries from Witch Mountain are better than the Osmanthus Cake from the Capital City. Ayuan, you should try some."

Lu Yuan shot him a cold stare: "Ayuan? Is that what you’re calling me now?"

Luo Shan shrugged, "Then what should I call you? Grand Commander? Your ’Grand Commander’ title doesn’t hold much weight here."

This was an undeniable truth. No matter how high Lu Yuan’s official rank was, in Miaojiang, they only followed Miaojiang’s hierarchy.

Meng Qianqian hit the mark: "But speaking of hierarchy, it seems he’s still above you."

Luo Shan: "..."

Damn!

Couldn’t outshine Lu Yuan in the Capital City, still couldn’t outshine him here in Miaojiang!

Ji Li had started fiddling with his Feng Shui Compass again.

"Got news of the Twelve Guards again?"

Si Snake asked him.

In the past, whenever the Twelve Guards showed up, Ji Li could use the Feng Shui Compass to divine their approximate location.

Thus, whenever Ji Li fiddled with the Feng Shui Compass, Si Snake instinctually assumed there was news of the Twelve Guards.

"No."

Ji Li frowned deeply, his expression serious. "This compass stopped working. It’s broken. Chen Long, did you steal a fake one?"

Chen Long retorted, "You’re the fake one! It’s impossible for me to steal a fake one."

Ji Li’s face darkened.

Si Snake asked, "A stopped compass isn’t a good sign, is it?"

Ji Li thought for a moment, "Well, it can be. Sometimes."

A still Feng Shui Compass generally indicated one of two circumstances: either the matter at hand was too vast for the compass to handle, or there was simply nothing happening.

But with his luck, could it really mean nothing was happening?

"Huh? What’s this?"

Meng Qianqian discovered an unusual flower and grass under the stone table, its bud a pale purple, golden stamen, with serrated leaves.

"Don’t touch it!"

Luo Shan stopped her.

Meng Qianqian paused, her hand hovering just above the plant: "What is it?"

Luo Shan cautiously crouched down, leaning closer to scrutinize the mysterious plant: "Duoluo! Duoluo!"

The one called Duoluo was the leader of the attendants.

Hearing the Young Master’s call, he hurriedly stepped forward. "Young Master."

Luo Shan exclaimed excitedly, "Quick, take a look—is this the Purple Dream Grass my grandfather mentioned?"

Purple Dream Grass? What on earth was that?

Meng Qianqian increasingly felt that Miaojiang was a vast and strange new realm waiting to be explored by her.

Lu Yuan explained, "Purple Dream Grass is an extremely rare herb. Though it has no direct medicinal properties, it can exponentially amplify the efficacy of any medicine when used as an ingredient. The Rejuvenation Pill your grandmother gave you was made with Purple Dream Grass. However, this grass is terribly delicate, surviving entirely by chance. There’s a legend in Witch Mountain that only those blessed by the gods can find Purple Dream Grass."

Meng Qianqian asked curiously, "How do you know all this?"

The Governor Mansion’s Book Collection Pavilion doesn’t have any books about Witch Mountain.

Lu Yuan answered nonchalantly, "Early this morning, when you used me as a pillow and wouldn’t let me get up, I had no choice but to read as a distraction to avoid waking you."

Chen Long’s face turned dark.

Meng Qianqian’s face turned red, muttering, "When did I not let you get up?"

Luo Shan was losing his mind with excitement: "Haha! Purple Dream Grass! It’s Purple Dream Grass! I found Purple Dream Grass!"

Lu Yuan poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "It’s not yours. Why are you so happy about it?"

Luo Shan was struck as if by lightning!

Oh, right, it grew in the Liu Family’s estate and was discovered by the Liu Family’s Young Madam.

It had absolutely nothing to do with him—why on earth was he so happy?

"Ahhh—"

He was so miserable—
