Sorry. After thinking it over, Liu s.h.i.+mei calmly said, We indeed met by chance. I shouldnt have pressured you.

Mu Jiangli pressed his lips, smiled faintly, and said, But I can help you. I havent thoroughly investigated the truth about the past events, but if theres anything you need to know, anything you want to understand, I have resources and connections. It will be easier for me to find out than for Young Master Liang.

He refilled her teacup and continued, I think, from today onwards, we can consider ourselves acquainted, right?

Liu s.h.i.+mei hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Yes!

He saved her and Huangfu Lingyaos lives today!

Feeling indebted didnt feel good, but she had to repay the favor.

He was genuinely offering to help her, and it wouldnt be wise to treat him with suspicion. Liu s.h.i.+mei decided not to ask too many questions. She nodded and said, Then, I appreciate your help in advance.

She had come to inquire about the enmity between Zhong Lang and Mu Jiangli. Unexpectedly, she had discovered so much more. It was an unexpected gain.

Thinking about the injured puppy lying in bed, she added, Its getting late. Lord Mu, you should rest early. I have a lot of matters to attend to, so I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly.

Its alright. You go ahead and attend to your business. Im not fond of crowds anyway. Mu Jiangli stood up first, his expression gentle. He added, Let me escort you out of the courtyard.

Liu s.h.i.+mei nodded and turned to leave.

Mu Jiangli followed behind her and quickly caught up with her steps. He said, The true power behind Zhenyao Hall is not simple. I dont know if the master behind Du Gong is aligned with Zheng Medical Hall. If they arent, you need to be even more careful.

Ah? Liu s.h.i.+mei paused in her steps, asking in surprise, Du Gong and Zheng Medical Hall might not have the same master behind them?

She truly hadnt considered this possibility!

Mu Jiangli continued, I only know that the master behind Zheng Medical Hall is incredibly powerful, but because theres no conflict of interest, we havent investigated deeply. All I know is that the force behind Zheng Medical Hall isnt something we can easily confront. Thats why Ive refrained from digging too deep. As for Du Gong I dont know if hes dedicated to Zheng Medical Hall or if he serves another master.

Liu s.h.i.+mei was even more astonished. Even you dont know? Even you cant confront them easily? What kind of presence could that be?

Mu Jiangli couldnt help but chuckle. Although the influence of the Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion is significant, its not mine. I have a cooperative relations.h.i.+p with the owner of Colored Gla.s.s Pavilion. I manage Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley, controlling over half of the medicinal herb business in the entire Great Shu Dynasty. But that doesnt mean Im omnipotent.

So, I need to investigate Du Gongs background further. Otherwise, while this case might bring down Du Gong, it might also stir up a hornets nest! Liu s.h.i.+mei frowned even more, growing increasingly worried.

Seeing her expression, Mu Jiangli sighed and said, Ill do my best to help you clear this matter. s.h.i.+mei, focus on your work and try to stay out of the affairs of the martial world whenever possible.

He was genuinely concerned.

Liu s.h.i.+meis feelings toward him were complex. She didnt know if she could trust him, but subconsciously, she wanted to believe him!

She pursed her lips and said, Brother Mu, thank you.

As they stepped out of the courtyard, they suddenly saw a tall figure standing outside. His eyes glared fiercely at Mu Jiangli before s.h.i.+fting to Liu s.h.i.+mei. He said resentfully, Mother bear?? Wheres the bear?

Liu s.h.i.+mei,
