Chapter 19 Who's Scheming (Part One)

  Long Qingyue had just finished her morning exercise when she saw Long Qingyu walking in from the main gate. "Little Moon, why are you exercising again? Don't you know how to take a break?"

  He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the sweat on Long Qingyue's forehead, his expression soft and full of doting.

  Long Qingyu smiled faintly and didn't speak, thoroughly enjoying the tenderness and care of him wiping her sweat for her. When she saw that Long Qing's eyebrows were furrowed with worry, she couldn't help but pause, her brother had always been clever, and in martial arts he was also extremely talented, what could be making him unhappy?

  Although he hid very well, he was still discovered by Long Qingyue.

  "Brother, how's your cultivation going recently?"

  Long Qingyu was slightly surprised by her sister's sudden concern for her cultivation, but still replied truthfully, "I've already advanced from the Seven Star Spirit Master primary stage to the intermediate stage. With a few more months of hard work, I should be able to become an Eight Star Spirit Master."

  Brother's cultivation progress is going smoothly, but what's troubling him is something else?

  "Brother is so awesome, the instructor must have praised you highly! What's new and fun in school today, tell me about it. I'm getting bored to death staying at home every day."

  Long Qingyue's face turned red with sweat, if modern people saw the coquettish expression of the number one killer in the killer world, they would be shocked to the point where their eyeballs would fall out.

  "That's right. The mentor even praised me as a genius today." Long Qingyu had a pleased expression on his face, after all, he was only seventeen years old, and if placed in modern times, he would still be in high school. His smile faded, as if he thought of something infuriating.

  When he looked up at Long Qingyue, the anger on his face had subsided, and there was a hint of guilt in his expression. "Little Moon, today I saw a 500-year-old Xi Jin Cao in the pharmacy and planned to buy it for you, but it was bought by Wu Changde and others before me."

  "It's gone, so be it; after all, it was just a single sprig of wormwood."

  Wu Changde? This name sounds familiar, seems like he's the eldest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Works, Wu JiaoJiao's older brother.

  It seems like there's no smoke without fire after all!

  "Hmph, I think they did it on purpose! They clearly knew I had my eye on that Washi Grass first, yet they still deliberately bid a high price to buy it away."

  Since Long Qingyu knew that Long Qingyue took a herbal bath every day to refine her body, she went all out to search for the most precious and top-grade medicinal materials to send to Long Qingyue. Today, just as she was returning home, Long Qingyu discovered a 500-year-old Xijincao in a pharmacy, and was about to buy it when Wu Changde and others deliberately raised the price, and finally bought that Xijincao away.

  Long Qingyu, although a direct descendant of the General's mansion, only received twenty taels of silver as his monthly allowance. For nearly half a month, he had spent almost all his savings buying medicinal herbs for Long Qingyue. So he could only watch helplessly as the Washed Tendon Grass was bought by Wu Changde and others at the price of three hundred taels.

  Wu Changde then invited Long Qingyu to a contest, and if Long Qingyu won, Wu Changde would give him the 500-year-old Xi Jin Cao.

  Long Qingyu and Wu Changde were evenly matched, or even slightly stronger than Wu Changde, so Long Qingyu accepted the challenge. Unexpectedly, Long Qingyu lost in the end and even lost the family heirloom jade pendant.

  Long Qingyue's eyes showed a hint of understanding, it seemed that Wu Changde and others had already calculated this beforehand, and intentionally deceived her brother. Unfortunately, although her brother was intelligent and wise, he was straightforward and didn't think of this possibility.

  Losing the silver grass is no big deal, but that family heirloom jade pendant is a symbol of identity. If it's lost, I'm afraid it will bring some trouble.

  "Brother, what do you plan to do?"
