After the two of them settled in, You XiaoMo tugged Ling Xiao into the dimension.

The spiritual energy of the dimension was fairly rich, and it was better to recover in here than outside. You XiaoMo wanted to go work on the magic herb field, so there was nothing Ling Xiao could say to that.

The transcendent level magic herb seed that they had just received couldn’t be left there like low or mid-grade magic herbs, nor could it be reaped any faster if it was planted earlier, especially the Heart Flower Herb. Just scraping together some fertilizer to cover it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t that he had no confidence in himself, but it was more so that he could take precautions.

On the other side, Manager Li found Manager Zhang very quickly.

Coincidentally, Manager Zhang had also been searching for Manager Li the entire time to discuss Su Lang.

After all, he was the one who introduced Su Lang to the pinnacle section, but then Manager Li went and sold the magic herb that Su Lang had preordered to someone else for a higher price. Wasn’t that just slapping his face?

Moreover, Manager Zhang had already heard about how Manager Li sold that magic herb for an exorbitant thirty million spirit gems. Just from the commission alone, Manager Li would earn almost a million spirit gems, never mind the reward from the Magic Herb Hall.

Since Manager Li earned almost twenty million spirit gems for the Magic Herb Hall, the higher ups decided to reward him with a million spirit gems. This was an amount that Manager Zhang couldn’t even earn by working an entire year, so it was impossible for him not to be jealous. Seeing that Manager Li himself came to find him, he just happened to also have something to ask him.

Manager Li had long since guessed that Manager Zhang wouldn’t tell him so easily, and that he would bring up the matter about the Heart Flower Herb. Therefore, he pretended to be ‘touched by emotion’ and ‘willing to act reasonably,’ before bringing up the Magic Herb Hall again as a shield. Finally, he expressed that he would personally go and clear things up with Su Lang before fishing Su Lang’s address out from him.

How would Manager Zhang know his true motives? Furthermore, he also wouldn’t dare to actually offend Manager Li.

In the Magic Herb Hall, there were different tiers of managers too. The higher the tier, the more important the magic herbs that they were responsible for were. Even if they really did start arguing, the higher ups would favor Manager Li, whose status was higher than his. Plus, he had provided a generous contribution to the Magic Herb Hall not too long ago, so Manager Zhang could only suffer this loss.

Afterwards, Manager Li personally went to the inn that You XiaoMo was staying in.

Not even a minute later, Manager Li left the inn, completely satisfied.

The middle of the night, when nobody was whispering anymore, was the perfect time for spies to eavesdrop.

A manor located halfway up the mountain next to the town was currently brightly lit. A wide expanse of magic herbs grew around the manor, with one particular high level magic herb serving as the majority. Restriction seals covered the area around the manor, preventing people from casually entering and stealing things.

You XiaoMo called out his two Golden Winged Insects and told them to gnaw a hole in the restriction seal. Afterwards, he secretly slipped inside with Ling Xiao.

Inside the manor’s courtyard.

Ever since Da Shixiong rescued Su Lang the day before, Su Lang was strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the manor on his own. He wasn’t afraid that Su Lang would go find those two people to get revenge, but he was afraid that You XiaoMo was still in WuShan Town.
