Wang Quanzui took her time, intending to lure her slowly. "There are so many interesting things in this huge Wangquan Mansion. There's a turtle that was offered as a tribute a few days ago and is kept in the river beside the rockery. It's said to be over 500 years old and can even bite!" She vividly described it to Dongfang Qinlan, gesturing with her hands.
Seeing Dongfang Qinlan hesitating, Wang Quanzui frowned slightly, lowered her head, and pretended to be in a dilemma. "It's a pity that only Steward Fei can get those rare things out in this mansion. Alas, they usually don't show themselves."
"What shall we do then?"
"Right! I'll go find Steward Fei right away! He will surely accompany me!" Dongfang Qinlan slapped her forehead. How smart she was!
Dongfang Qinlan ran away in a hurry, forgetting why she had followed Dongfang Huaizhu and even forgetting to question her about how she knew Xiaoyou.
"Qinlan, run slowly!" Dongfang Huaizhu reminded. Dongfang Qinlan didn't even turn her head. She just waved her hand as a farewell, indicating that her sister, who always worried about her, could rest assured.
After that, Wang Quanzui led the way. After turning countless corners, they finally saw a towering waterfall after a long time. It was as if it had fallen from the Milky Way, bringing a touch of coolness.
Before they even got close to the waterfall, they could hear the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" of the water. The sound was like overlapping waves surging onto the shore or gusts of wind blowing through the forest.
"Don't be in a hurry. Follow me." Wang Quanzui, who was leading the way in front, was used to it. She calmly led Dongfang Huaizhu towards the waterfall and used her lightness kung - fu to pass straight through it.
Dongfang Huaizhu didn't know there was a hidden world behind the waterfall. She quickly used her clumsy lightness kung - fu to follow and landed behind the waterfall. There was a large open space here, with traces of human habitation. Thanks to the waterfall, it was like a natural summer resort. The cool air wrapped around her.
"Senior? Senior?" Wang Quanzui shouted everywhere, as if looking for someone.
Soon there was a response. A man walked out unhurriedly from a hidden place. He was short in stature, with a lot of white hair on his temples. His clothes were simple and plain, made of ordinary fabric.
"I wondered who it was. It's little Miss Wangquan. Why are you free to come and see this old man today?" The man, whom Wang Quanzui called senior, spoke slowly, looking calm.
"I just suddenly thought of you recently. Hehe." Wang Quanzui took two steps and nudged the man's shoulder, looking very familiar.
"This is my newly - made friend, Dongfang Huaizhu from the Dongfang family." Wang Quanzui introduced Dongfang Huaizhu to the old man.
Dongfang Huaizhu bowed and said gracefully, "I, Dongfang Huaizhu, pay my respects to the old gentleman." She stood there gracefully.
The old man nodded. "Hahaha, great! Now there's someone to play with me! I've been so bored in this cave recently. None of you come to visit this old man!" After being serious for no more than three seconds, he returned to his playful look, with a childish and proud tone, exactly like Dongfang Qinlan.
"Old man, actually I came to you today for one thing." Wang Quanzui finally got to the point and tilted her head in the direction where Dongfang Huaizhu was standing.
Hearing this, the old man carefully sized Dongfang Huaizhu up for a few times, looking thoughtful. "I see that she has the ability but can't use it. I've been quite puzzled about it." Wang Quanzui continued to talk about Dongfang Huaizhu's situation.
"Okay, I understand. You go and play by yourself for a while first." The old man was efficient and didn't talk nonsense. He sent Wang Quanzui away.
"Come here, little girl." The old man waved to Dongfang Huaizhu. When she got closer, he put his hand on her meridians.
After a while, he got the result. "Your problem isn't serious. It's just that your soul doesn't belong to this world. You accidentally came to this world. The reason you can't fully use your strength now is that your bloodline hasn't fully merged with that of the Dongfang family." The old man stroked his chin and slowly explained.
Dongfang Huaizhu was shocked. He could tell at a glance that her soul was from another world. She had never met such a powerful person before.
"Then how can I solve this problem? Or how can I dredge my meridians?" Dongfang Huaizhu was anxious. Seeing there was hope, she quickly asked.
"After you give birth to a child, all the problems will be solved."
"If you want to solve it now, you can go to that cave and get a spiritual herb and take it." The old man was very serious. When it came to business, he was straightforward and efficient.
Dongfang Huaizhu didn't hesitate anymore. Following the direction he pointed, she came to the cave. It looked ordinary from the outside, but inside it was a hidden world with a miraculous plant.
"This must be it." Dongfang Huaizhu confirmed. She walked to the spiritual herb, reached out her hand, and quickly plucked a spiritual herb at the right moment. She pinched off a leaf and swallowed it.
Wang Quanzui patiently waited for Dongfang Huaizhu to come out of the cave. She stood steadily on a narrow stone, concentrating. "Are you out? What did that old man say? Is there anything wrong?"
The moment Dongfang Huaizhu stepped out of the cave, Wang Quanzui opened her eyes and jumped down from the stone.
"It's no big deal. The old gentleman said that there are hidden injuries in my meridians, which cause blockages and prevent the internal energy from flowing. As long as the blockages in the meridians are removed, it will be okay." Dongfang Huaizhu said with a smile. After all, she couldn't really tell Wang Quanzui the actual situation.
Hearing this, Wang Quanzui nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, let's go back to the mansion. I'm afraid that girl Qinlan has already noticed something wrong in the mansion by now." Wang Quanzui said and made a helpless gesture of waving her hand.
Thinking about what Wang Quanzui said, Dongfang Huaizhu resisted the urge to support her forehead, nodded, and followed behind Wang Quanzui. This place was very secluded.
When Dongfang Huaizhu and Wang Quanzui returned to the mansion, Dongfang Qinlan was looking longingly at the door. As soon as the two of them entered, she quickly turned her head.
The two of them looked at each other. There was helplessness and indulgent smiles in their eyes. What else could they do? They could only go and comfort her themselves.
With the joint efforts of the two, Qinlan quickly forgave them. "You must take me with you wherever you go in the future!" She looked so pitiful that the two of them quickly agreed.
"In a few days, it will be the Fireworks Festival. We three will go and have fun together then. We definitely won't leave you behind." Wang Quanzui joked.
Just as the three of them were having a good time, Jin Renfeng came in from the door under the guidance of the steward. He stared intently at Dongfang Huaizhu. His naked look made Wang Quanzui's heart tighten.
Wang Quanzui knew very well that this man wanted to compete with her brother for Huaizhu! She looked at him with full of vigilance and provocation.
But in Jin Renfeng's eyes, there was only Dongfang Huaizhu. He basically didn't pay attention to Wang Quanzui. "Junior Sister Huaizhu, I really hope I'm not disturbing you."
"Since you know you're coming uninvited, why don't you leave quickly? I really don't know where you got the courage!" Before Jin Renfeng could finish speaking, Wang Quanzui interrupted him. Her beautiful face was full of mockery of him.
