Chapter 1627: 1627 Miss having you stay

Due to her wearing men’s clothing and a human skin mask of a man’s face, even with her hair loose, the servants in the valley did not suspect ’him’ to be a woman.

Fu Chou, carrying a long sword, was waiting outside Qin Garden. When he saw her, he walked over and silently followed behind her.

A gust of evening wind blew by, and a few strands of her semi-dry long hair brushed against his face. The delicate fragrance with a hint of floral scent made his heart pound, but he dared not show any sign of it.

From afar, a gaze locked onto them.

Su Qingyue looked towards the source of the gaze and saw a young woman in blue clothing, about twenty years old, standing on a small path outside the courtyard. Lightly powdered, her features were very beautiful, and her figure was graceful and attractive.

Noticing the Valley Master’s VIP, the woman slightly bowed towards Su Qingyue as a gesture of politeness and then turned to leave.

Fu Chou also noticed that woman. "Master, do you want me to find out who she is?"

"No need, we shouldn’t interfere with the people and matters inside the valley." Su Qingyue frowned slightly. "My mission is the Thousand-knot Grass. There’s none in the Ghost Forest outside the valley. Go and ask if the people in the Poison King Valley have picked it. I’m willing to pay for it."

"Yes." Fu Chou accepted the order and left, returning shortly after with Manager Wei.

"Young Master Su, the Thousand-knot Grass is a unique herb that grows in the Ghost Forest and matures once every ten years, with only one per cycle." Manager Wei bowed and explained, "When it matured this year, the Valley Master personally picked it. Any previously existing Thousand-knot Grass in the martial world had already been used. Now, there is only one left in the entire world."

Su Qingyue coldly responded, "Don’t tell me things I already know."

"The Valley Master’s intention is that the Thousand-knot Grass is a rare treasure, and there won’t be a second one in at least the next ten years. He will not sell it."

"Surely there must be some condition he’ll agree to for an exchange?"

"The Valley Master is not currently in the Poison King Valley and will return in a few days." Manager Wei respectfully replied, "Such a rare herb is always kept solely by the Valley Master. I have no authority to decide on my own. Please stay in the Poison King Valley for a few days until the Valley Master returns and makes a decision."

Su Qingyue’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Didn’t your Valley Master just temporarily disable the traps for entering the valley? Why isn’t he here?"

Manager Wei lied without changing his expression, "After temporarily disabling the traps, the Valley Master had urgent matters and left."

"Is that so." Su Qingyue remained non-committal.

Manager Wei carefully said, "Young Master Su, please stay. The Valley Master instructed that you are a VIP. We and the valley’s servants will not neglect you. If you need anything, please feel free to instruct us."

"Bring me the Thousand-knot Grass."

"Please don’t make things difficult for me. I don’t know where the Valley Master keeps the herbs you want, nor do I have the courage to find out." This statement was indeed true.

Su Qingyue ignored him and ordered Fu Chou to rest, while she went back to her room to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already late at night.

She had just gotten out of bed when she heard a servant girl’s voice, "Young Master Su, are you up?"

Su Qingyue opened the door, "What’s the matter?"

Behind the servant girl stood two family servants, each holding a tray with delicious-looking food on it. "Seeing that you went to sleep without having dinner, and fearing that you were tired from your journey, we didn’t wake you up. So we prepared dinner at any time. Would you like to eat now?"

"Bring it in." Su Qingyue was indeed hungry.
