"This is the delicious food I've saved for you all night. Eat more. This place is not as simple as the previous examination ground. The animals, as well as the flowers and plants here, are all tricky."
Hearing his words, Tang Youyou could sense that this person knew quite a lot about the Qingyun Sect.
Tang Youyou followed his words and asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"
Yun Ze replied, "Of course, I want you to have enough to eat so that you'll have the strength to run away. The animals here are very smart. It's simply impossible for you to outwit them."
Tang Youyou only knew that the flowers, plants, and trees she saw in the medicine garden were all poisonous. But regarding this forbidden area, she didn't know if the plants were in the same situation as those in the medicine garden.
Since that was the case, having one more person to look out for her would be a good choice.
After all, maximizing advantages was always a good thing.
Tang Youyou watched as those people sat in a circle, discussing something. Some of them looked at Tang Youyou and constantly invited her to join them for the discussion.
Seeing these people chattering non - stop, Tang Youyou had no choice but to go over. Among them, a tall scholar was the first to speak.
"Among us, everyone has their own level of familiarity with medicinal materials. I'd like to ask, who among you is the most sensitive to herbs and knows the most about them?"
As this question was thrown out, many people lowered their heads. Some of them were still deep in thought, considering their own matters.
It was obvious that these people all had their own agendas. Everyone sitting here was just waiting for an opportunity to find a useful person for an equal - value exchange.
When everyone was quiet, a timid boy in the crowd slowly raised his hand. He said nervously, "I know quite a lot about some precious medicinal materials. Since my family has been running a pharmacy for generations, I've handled many precious herbs."
Hearing this, many people focused their attention on him. The scholar who had asked the question stretched out his hand and said respectfully, "My name is Xiao Jiu."
The short scholar stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Chu Shi."
Perhaps their names had some common characteristics, which made them memorable to the scholars present.
After that, several wealthy young masters and the young masters of local landlords stood up. Each of them was well - informed and had truly seen many precious medicinal materials.
Li Lei looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Now that we've found several of us, let's discuss our future arrangements."
Hearing this, Jin Ling on one side also nodded. "Yes, among these people, some of the medicinal materials they need are the same. Maybe we can divide into teams and go to the corresponding places to search for herbs. This way, the efficiency will be higher and we'll have more time."
After a moment of silence, everyone nodded. Jin Ling glanced at Tang Youyou, who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Everyone else has said the herbs they need. What about you?"
Tang Youyou didn't hide it and directly said, "Dragon Bone Herb."
Among these sixty people, only three people had this requirement.
One was her, one was Yun Ze, and the other was Jin Ling.
Jin Ling couldn't quite believe it and asked the scholars sitting on the ground again, "Is there no one else among you who is looking for this herb?"
These people all shook their heads. Helplessly, Jin Ling had to form a team with Tang Youyou, who was disliked by everyone.
Tang Youyou didn't hold back either. She directly said, "If you're not willing to be in a team with me, I won't force you. Compared to moving in a group, I'd rather be alone."
Hearing this, Jin Ling, who had been dissatisfied in his heart, became even more angry. He angrily looked at Tang Youyou and said disdainfully, "Do you think anyone wants to be in a team with you? If it weren't for the fact that no one else is looking for the same thing as me, I wouldn't want to be with you."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou turned to meet his eyes and said coldly, "Then you can leave now!"
Her words made Jin Ling, who had been throwing a tantrum, blush with anger.
He couldn't believe that in this place, there would be someone who dared to talk to him like this. In the city, which person didn't try to curry favor with him and circle around him!
The angrier Jin Ling got, the more he wanted to walk towards Tang Youyou to compete with her. But just as he was about to raise his fist, Ye Yue and Yun Ze stood in front of Tang Youyou at the same time.
Ye Yue said coldly, "If you want to cause trouble today, I can send you straight to hell."
Ye Yue's words instantly stunned Jin Ling, but he still endured the fear in his heart and angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are? You want to take my life! Do you believe that I'll make you pay when I get out of here!"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou calmly explained, "Young Master Jin, you're wrong. They let you in already with the intention of giving up on you. If you die here, even if you're killed by someone else, it's reasonable because no one can take the secrets here out."
Facing Tang Youyou's words, these people were full of confusion. Xiao Jiu smiled and asked, "How do you know that?"
Tang Youyou said, "From human nature, from the attitude of those disciples towards you when you came in. From the moment you came in and the iron chain was put on the gate, you've been like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being used by others and harming each other."
"If you can't give them what they want, you're meaningless and they have no reason to let you live."
Hearing this, Chu Shi's eyes flashed a strange look when he looked at Tang Youyou.
Similarly, Tang Youyou also noticed the strangeness of this boy.
Because of what had just happened, Jin Ling completely refused to go with Tang Youyou. He said, "Since that's the case, I won't go with this person. I'll look for herbs with Xiao Jiu's group later. Maybe I can find it."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou seemed to hear a big joke. She remained silent, shook her head slightly, and then left.
Yun Ze, who was following her, was a bit confused when he saw what Tang Youyou had done. He asked, "Brother Tang, where do you think we should look? This kind of thing should be very hard to find, right?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou nodded. "Naturally, but as long as we find the right place, everything will be okay."
Yun Ze was worried about Jin Ling but hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
