BXBX NOVEL Chapter 991 - Xuan Qiu
People outside saw that Sima You Yue and Little Seven had been brought away by the people of the guild. Some felt sorry and some gloated.
“Like I said, people who offend the guild here are only seeking death!”
“Ah, I heard that the Heavenly Sect was normally incompatible to the other academies Originally, their position in the alchemy contest of the Pill Subdivision was already in jeopardy. Alas, I’m afraid the sect will fail this time!”
“That’s not certain. The people of the Heavenly Sect aren’t good stubbles. But this time Mao San Quan came. Although he’s not better than Xu Jin that guy, he’s quite fierce when he’s angry. Moreover, he’s protective of his students.”
“Then there’s going to be a good show to watch!”
“Let’s wait and see.”
....
Sima You Yue and Little Seven follow Luo Ming’s group to the Alchemist Guild. They did not enter the front door, but entered from the back.
“Take them to the prison. I will go report to Young Miss.” Luo Ming gave an order to his guards. “Be careful, don’t let others know.”
“Yes, commander.”
“You guys enjoy this lifestyle.” Luo Ming shot a glance at Sima You Yue and Little Seven, and the guards took them away.
They crossed through two courtyards, which were different from the other courtyards. Each had a large field of herbs planted.
They passed through the courtyards, heading to the prison.
Little Seven held Sima You Yue hands. She blinked at her, when are we going to make a move?
Sima You Yue examined her surroundings. This place was relatively remote and there was no one around, so she silently moved and a light fragrance surrounded the area.
“Do you smell something?” A guard frowned and asked the person beside.
“It seems that it is something smells really fragrant.” That person replied. “There wasn’t any of this kind of smell before.”
“Could it be…. Not good…”
That person did not finish when he fell down.
The others still did not understand what was going on, when they fainted consecutively.
“Yue Yue, I’ll go with you.” Little Seven kicked someone next to her.
“You stay here and keep watch.” Sima You Yue rejected. “Don’t let anyone find out. Moreover, you can’t enter the spirit barrier.”
“Alright. I’ll wait for you right here.” Little Seven reluctantly agreed.
Sima You Yue followed the route directed by her bees, avoiding the patrol guards. She smoothly arrived at the so-called medicine garden.
As expected, there was a layer of spirit barrier outside the medicine garden. There was a subtle fluctuation in space.
She summoned Little Roar and combined with him and directly entered.
Because of the spirit barrier, no one was on watch here, and Sima You Yue directly entered.
She scanned the medicine garden and pursed her lips. The things here weren’t so great and were far worse than what was inside her Spirit Pagoda. They were not important in her eyes.
“Go to the third small flower bed of the medicine garden, and there will be a spirit fruit tree beside it. Then ten steps east underneath the tree.” She murmured, walked, and finally came to a soft piece of land.
That piece of land had just been plowed, and the soil was still fresh. According to Third Mo’s instruction, she dug down twice and saw a jade box.
She picked up the jade box but didn’t open it. She was afraid the fragrant scent would attract attention. With a single thought, she stored it inside her Spirit Pagoda to give to Third Mo.
When she stood up, she saw a nearby herb covered in soil. She moved over, beat the soil off it, and combed the leaves of the herb.
“That’s where the bodhi mushroom used to be planted.” A warm voice sounded behind.
Sima You Yue was shocked. She quickly turned around and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair, smiling at her.
But his gaze has no focus, so he should be a person with eye problems.
When did this person appear here? Why didn’t she notice it at all? She wasn’t sure whether he saw her dug up the bodhi mushroom just now.
She was not embarrassed or ashamed to be caught, calmly looking at the man in front of her.
Hands on the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, with a handsome face and a sick fatigue between the eyebrows.
He looked at Sima You Yue lightly, as if he saw her small movements, or maybe not.
“Who are you? When did you come?” Sima You Yue took two steps forward and looked at him warily.
“I’ve always been here. It’s just that you never noticed.” The man said, “You can call me Xuan Qiu.”
“Xuan Qiu?” Sima You Yue thought for a while. She had not heard anyone mentioned this name, and she didn’t know his identity.
“Yes.” Xuan Qiu smiled and nodded.
“”You’ve always been here?” Sima You Yue asked tentatively.
“Yes.” Xuan Qiu admitted, but he didn’t say whether he saw her or not.
“What are you doing here?”
“Smelling the herbs.”
Smelling the herbs?
Sima You Yue frowned. Did he smell the scent of the bodhi mushroom, so that he came here?
“You don’t have to worry. I won’t tell anyone about your business.” Xuan Qiu pointed out what she was worried about.
He really saw it!
No, how did he know what she was thinking?
She looked at him, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
“Your business has nothing to do with me.” Xuan Qiu explained.
” Why are you helping me to keep it a secret?” Sima You Yue was puzzled.
“Because I have nothing to do with the Alchemist Guild.” Xuan Qi said, “I am a blind man or a lame person. I don’t care about things that can just be ignored.”
Sima You Yue didn’t know why she felt disappointed at his reply.
“Then why are you here? Is it really because you smelt the scent of herbs?” She didn’t believe it.
“For a person who doesn’t know what colour is, smell is an important way for us to perceive the world.” Xuan Qiu fingers intertwined, “I can’t see what things in the world look like, but I can smell their scent.”
“Have you always never been able to see?” Seeing his peaceful appearance, Sima You Yue walked over.
“I heard others say that I could see when I was one or two years old. So, I wasn’t always unable to see, but I don’t have the memory of that time.” Xuan Qiu ridiculed.
A one or two-year-old child had no memory at all. Even if they saw what the world looked like at that time, how could they remember it?
So he never knew what colour the sky was and what the flowers looked like.
“Did you see a doctor?”
“I did, but no doctor can figure out the cause. Because I’ve been unable to see, I’m used to it.”
“But you want to see the world, don’t you?” Sima You Yue said, “You want to know what the world looks like, what the colour of the sky is, and what exactly is colour, rather than just relying on the divine sense to identify the things around you.”
Xuan Qiu’s smile deepened slowly and said: “You understand people like me very well. Have you ever experienced it?”
