âShould we go say hello?â Xu Muan asked.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, âNo, no, there are already many people around greeting her, so there is no need for us to do that.â
Xu Muan nodded and said, âThatâs rightâ¦â
âThis peach forest seems to be a bit special!â Xie Wanranâs eyes flashed with surprise.
âYounger martial sister, whatâs wrong?â Zhuge Ming asked.
âIt seems to be the Jasper Peach Forest!â Xie Wanran said.
âNo way, Jasper Peach is very difficult to cultivate. I didnât hear of any expert in the Green Cloud Immortal Sect in this area,â Zhuge Ming said.
Xie Wanran shook her head and said, âI should not be wrong. Look at those hanging fruits, they seem to be jasper peaches!â
âJasper peaches are hard to cultivate! How could there be so many of them here?â
Xie Wanranâs eyes widened as she said, âI didnât think that the Green Cloud Immortal Sect actually had such a place.â
âElder martial sister Xie, reverend Uncle is obsessed with cultivation. Although his injuries have been suppressed, I heard they would occasionally relapse. I also heard that Jasper Peach King could alleviate this situation. Jasper peaches are rare and Jasper Peach King is even more rare. But elder material sister, do you think that there could be a Jasper Peach King in this peach forest?â Zhu Jin asked.
Zhuge Ming nodded and said, âThere should be one soon. Look at this tree, it seems to be Jasper Peach King. However, it doesnât seem to be fully mature.â
Xie Wanranâs eyes flashed for a moment with astonishment. âIf, there is really a Jasper Peach King, then we have to buy it no matter what.â
â¦â¦â¦â¦
âIs there anyone in the forest? Please show yourself.â Xie Wanran raised her voice and said.
Xu Muan glanced toward Xiao Jingting and asked, âShall we go to meet them?â
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, âPeople have already seen it, so itâs not appropriate to not go out. Letâs go.â
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan came out from peach forest.
âNice to meet you,â Xiao Jingting said.
âYounger martial brother, are you taking care of this peach forest?â Xie Wanran asked.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, âIâm just a handyman, mainly Steward Qiu is in charge.â Xiao Jingting did not hesitate to push Qiu Yun out. He was just a small fry, so he would not be able to stop this woman whom he suspected was the female lead.
âSteward Qiu?â Xie Wanran said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, âYes! Steward Qiu is in charge of the Northern District Spiritual Medicine Garden.â
âI wonder if I can request to buy Jasper Peach King from Steward Qiu.â Xie Wanran asked somewhat eagerly.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, âThis, I canât say. Itâs up to Steward Qiu to decide.â
âYounger martial brother, can you help me bring a message?â
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, âThis is a simple effort.â
âThere is no need to bring a message. Itâs not for sale.â Qiu Yun walked out lazily with his arms clasped.
Looking at Qiu Yun, Xiao Jingtingâs heart suddenly became calm.
âSo you are Steward Qiu! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you.â Xie Wanran said.
Qiu Yun looked at Xie Wanran and said, âMiss Xie, although the Spiritual Medicine Sect and the Green Could Immortal Sect have good friendship, you are after all a guest. Itâs better if you donât wander around freely, lest you barge into something you shouldnât and spoil the friendship between the two sects.â
Xie Wanranâs face changed as she said, âMartial uncle, you made a point, but Reverend Uncle taught me that Jasper Peach is extremely difficult to cultivate. I didnât expect that Steward Qiu would be able to cultivate Jasper Peach King.â
âMy methods are good and many people know it, so I donât need your flattery.â Qiu Yun said coldly.
Xiao Jingting looked at the way Qiu Yun rejected her and thought:Â Qiu Yun must have a problem with this woman! Although Qiu Yun has a bad temper, it is the first time he has targeted a person in such an obvious way.
âSteward, why do you have to talk in such an absolute manner?â Zhuge Ming said unhappily.
Qiu Yun glanced at Zhuge Ming, sneered and said, âHow I talk is none of your business. You donât need to judge me.â
âMartial uncle, this Jasper Peach King is very important to me. So I still hope that martial uncle will help us out.â Xie Wanran said.
âIf I help you, who will help me? Besides, why should I help you?!â Qiu Yun said coldly.
âMartial uncle, you need Jasper Peach King for urgent use as well?â Xie Wanran asked.
âThe peach is mine. Whether I need it urgently or not, whether I give it to people or animals to eat, itâs none of Miss Xieâs business.â
Zhuge Ming waved his finger and said, âYou⦠look like a monster, but your heart is even worse than your looks.â
Qiu Yun flicked his finger and said, âYes! I have a vicious heart, so how can I compare to kind-hearted miss Xie! This elder martial brother should like this kind-hearted miss Xie, right? Do you think this kind-hearted miss Xie will fulfill your wish and marry you?â
Zhuge Mingâs face suddenly turned blue and then white. âStop talking nonsense, will you?â
Qiu Yun snorted and said, âMy mind is vicious, but itâs just nonsense. So what is the matter?â
Xiao Jingting looked at Qiu Yun and thought:Â Qiu Yun is fierce! However, this Miss Xie Wanran is also very tough. After reaching this point, she still has a good temper. It is no wonder that even after having three spiritual roots, she could cultivate to this point.
