Every time it was mentioned, it would express an endless aftertaste and fragrance, making Zhao churan extremely envious.
Zhao Tian would often proudly mention to his friends that he had the honor of tasting the yunluo sacred leaf.
Right now, Xia qingchen had actually gifted him an entire yunluo sacred leaf!
Zhao churan felt as though she was in an illusory dream.
“Cousin qingchen, are you really giving this to me? It’s too valuable!” Zhao churan said.
Xia qingchen chuckled. I still have a lot. There’s no need to mind it. Let’s go and digest this leaf now.
Zhao churan raised her head, her crystal-like eyes filled with tears.
Ever since she was young, her biological brother had never treated her as well as Xia qingchen.
She bit her lips lightly and took back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Her cousin would not like her.
What’s the point of saying those self-flattering words?
thank you, cousin. I’m going to cultivate. You should start cultivating as well. She had a thousand words in her heart, but they all turned into a single word of thanks.
Looking at her back view as she returned to her room, Xia qingchen’s gaze turned slightly cold.
No matter what, a quarter of the Xia clan’s bloodline flowed in Zhao churan’s body.
The Zhao family can’t trample on it as they wish!
Suddenly, a sigh rang out from behind Xia qingchen.
Even if he didn’t turn his head, Xia qingchen also knew who it was.
Zhao Zishan!
When he had handed the yunluo sacred leaf to Zhao churan, he had already heard the footsteps of Zhao Zishan walking over from afar.
“Little sister is still too young. A small gift can make her happy.” Zhao Zishan walked over with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.
Xia qingchen stood in front of the ancient well and only looked at Gu Yue in the well, not saying anything.
Xia qingchen didn’t have any good feelings toward this cousin of his.
Seeing that Xia qingchen didn’t even turn around, Zhao Zishan felt displeased in his heart. He calmly said, advise you to give up on my sister. She grew up in the capital. What good things has the Zhao family not given her?”
“That little bit of local products from the countryside can only make her happy for a while. It won’t fool her for long.”
Local specialties?
Xia qingchen turned around, his expression calm. “Cousin, do you have anything else to say?
He had never liked to talk too much with a self-righteous frog at the bottom of a well.
That would really be a waste of breath.
Zhao Zishan was slightly stunned.
He had originally thought that Xia qingchen would be wary of his status and would more or less respect him or even feel inferior.
But he did not.
Zhao Zishan’s vanity was not satisfied as expected, and he was even more displeased.
“Cousin, you seem to be very confident in yourself. I wonder where your confidence comes from?” Zhao Zishan sized up Xia qingchen.
Other than being a little more handsome, there was nothing special about him.
Xia qingchen shook his head slightly. He didn’t lower his head in front of him and didn’t show any humility. Was this confidence?
“Only my cousin can be confident, but I can’t be?” he said indifferently.
“Me?” The corners of Zhao Zishan’s mouth curled up slightly, showing a bit of high and mighty judgment.
He shook his sleeves, revealing an unremarkable embroidered pattern on his chest.
It was the symbol of an Imperial physician’s assistant.
“I am the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s Imperial physician Liu’s assistant. I can be considered one of Princess tianyin’s people.” “How is it? should I be confident?” Zhao Zishan said indifferently.
Princess tianyin was in charge of the female Palace and was in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Palace.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine was also part of the palace’s internal affairs, and could barely be considered a faction of the women’s Palace.
“1 feel that it’s better for you to be more humble,” Xia qingchen said with a faint smile.
He was an Imperial physician’s assistant in the most peripheral power in Princess tianyin’s circle.
What was there to be so proud of?
Humble?
Zhao Zishan sneered. he’s from the countryside. He’s from the countryside. He probably doesn’t even know what it means to be an Imperial physician’s assistant.
It meant that he would be an Imperial physician in the future, and if he was lucky, he might even become a Grand Imperial physician.
However, so what?
Was he even one ten-thousandth of Xia qingchen?
forget it. You can’t talk to summer insects with words of ice. It’s meaningless for a country bumpkin like you to say more. Zhao Zishan laughed at himself.
He seemed to be mocking himself for being calculative with a country bumpkin.
I’m here to inform you that the Zhao family doesn’t want to be related to the Xia family. You can come to my house, but don’t have any other intentions.
Zhao Zishan lowered his eyes and looked at him, making his words very clear, Do you need me to repeat it?”
Visiting relatives with the Zhao family? An ulterior motive?
Xia qingchen could finally tell that Zhao Tian and his son thought that he had come to their house to curry favor with them.
“Then I’ll also give you a clear answer. You’re overthinking it.” Xia qingchen spoke indifferently.
After seeing the true colors of the father and son, he was still a little worried that he would be stuck with such a group of relatives in the future.
They took the initiative to suggest that they wouldn’t move around, and Xia qingchen felt extremely relaxed.
Zhao Zishan frowned.
To speak the truth, he really hated Xia qingchen’s attitude.
How could a country bumpkin be so confident in front of him!
“That would be for the best!” Zhao Zishan snorted and left unhurriedly.
After walking for a while, he still felt a little worried.
Hence, he went to his sister’s room.
She just so happened to see her younger sister playing with the things that Xia qingchen had given her.
sister, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re an adult now. You should learn how to distinguish between good and bad! Zhao Zishan walked in with a lecturing tone.
Xia qingchen took some worthless trinkets just to deceive your heart. Don’t tell me you still can’t understand this? ”
Zhao churan smiled but didn’t say anything.
Why would Xia qingchen need to lie to her?
Even when she gave it to Xia qingchen, he had rejected her before …
Moreover, she opened her palm and revealed the yunluo sacred leaf. Zhao Zishan, please don’t slander cousin qingchen. He is much more outstanding than you think.
If the yunluo sacred leaf was a worthless trinket.
Then, what was the point of Zhao Zishan drinking the dregs of the yunluo sacred leaf back then and drinking it constantly?
Zhao Zishan was about to say something when his gaze fell on the yunluo sacred leaf. He said in surprise, ‘”‘This is the yunluo sacred leaf?”
Its shape and appearance were exactly the same as the yunluo sacred leaf he had seen before.
“One look and I can tell it’s fake!” However, Zhao Zishan shook his head again and said with absolute certainty.
Zhao churan laughed.
Fake?
Xia qingchen had personally killed his way through the bandits and snatched back seven yunluo sacred leaves. Could they be fake?
Originally, she had wanted to show it to Zhao Zishan so that he would restrain his contemptuous attitude.
Who would have thought that Zhao Zishan was really looking down on people.
Without being able to distinguish it, he opened his mouth and said it was fake.
“Don’t doubt me!” Zhao Zishan spoke in all seriousness, ” there are plenty of fake yunluo sacred leaves on the market. Xia qingchen is just a person from a small city. Does he have the qualifications to obtain the real one? why would he give it to you? ” wake up, sister. Anyone with a brain would know that it’s fake!
Zhao Zishan shook his head. How much was the real yunluo sacred leaf worth?
What virtue did Xia qingchen have to obtain it?
Even if he had it, how could he bear to give it to his sister?
This was such a simple logic, but his sister didn’t understand it?
She really didn’t know what kind of bewitching soup Xia qingchen had fed her. Zhao churan coldly laughed. Right in front of him, she opened her mouth and ate an entire leaf.
Only the stem of the leaf was left. She threw it to him and said, “”Doesn’t your Imperial physician’s Institute have many talents? Let’s take it to them for appraisal.”
Zhao Zishan subconsciously took it and said in a good mood, “”You actually doubt my eyesight?”
He could see it with a glance, so why did he need to send it to a sacred place like the Imperial physician’s Institute for identification?
However, looking at his sister’s sneer, he accepted it. “I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River! Alright, I’ll show it to my colleagues in the Imperial Academy of Medicine and let you see that person’s face clearly. It’ll be good for you to give up!”
The next day.
Zhao Zishan went to the Imperial physician’s Institute as usual.
However, as soon as he entered, he was immediately summoned by Imperial physician Liu for an urgent matter. They arrived at the guest Hall.
Imperial physician Liu and the other Imperial physicians were entertaining a female official from the palace.
The female official held a book in her hand and sat upright and still, looking extremely serious.
Seeing Zhao Zishan enter, Imperial physician Liu said, ‘”‘Zishan, this female official has been ordered to check the medicinal material warehouse. You stay by her side and wait for her orders.”
Every month, the female official would do an inventory check of the medicinal herbs warehouse.
However, they were basically just going through the motions and would not check seriously.
Imperial physician Liu had invited Zhao Zishan over because he had the intention to cultivate him and let him become more familiar with the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
“Yes, Lord Liu!” Zhao Zishan said respectfully.
“Your Excellency, please give me your orders,” he said humbly to the female official.
“Let’s go to the Royal medicinal herb chamber first,” the female official said as she stood up with the booklet.
The medicinal herbs there were the most precious, so he should check there first.
However, when she passed by Zhao Zishan, the female official suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared straight at Zhao Zishan.
Zhao Zishan was stunned, “my Lord?” Do you have any orders?”
He muttered in his heart, why was the female official looking at him like that?
“Men, take down this puppet!”
A group of female officials immediately rushed in from outside the door and pressed Zhao Zishan to the ground.
“My Lord, what is this for?” Imperial physician Liu and the others were surprised.
The female official coldly snorted, “what do you want?” A mere assistant dared to covet the mo Kingdom’s precious treasure! Your Imperial physician’s
Institute is really too bold!”
She had wanted to just go through the motions and forget about it.
But who knew, she actually smelled an unusual smell from Zhao Zishan’s body..
