Chapter 238 Underestimating the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion
They really left him no way out.
We can only pray that God will protect him from making a fool of himself.
Long Yuan could tell from Mu Yunya's resistant expression that she wasn't good at riding horses. He glanced at Mu Yunfei with amusement, wondering when this kid had started to enjoy tricking people.
The dinner ended smoothly. Although no useful information was gleaned from Mu Zhen's thoughts, no one was disappointed. Perhaps even if they couldn't hear her thoughts, they would still have come.
Without realizing it, they had begun to get used to the lively atmosphere during meals.
Chatting and laughing together, occasionally listening to interesting gossip from the college, can relieve a lot of the fatigue that has accumulated in your heart throughout the day.
When Huangfu Zique left, he walked with everyone, but after parting ways, he turned a corner and returned to Mu Zhen's place.
Only after Liu Si and the others helped clean the hall and left did Huangfu Zique swagger into the house.
Outside the villa, Huangfu Liluo rubbed his forehead, thinking that the young master would probably never be able to shake off his image as a lovelorn fool.
Why does a grown man always seem to be the one to throw himself at others?
Mu Zhen stood on tiptoe in front of the French windows and peered out until she saw Huangfu Zique, who seemed to be radiating golden light, stroll in. She was finally relieved!
They haven't even given him the billion yet!
He turned and hurriedly ran to the second floor.
"Fuck!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Zhen pushed open the bedroom door, she was so frightened that she almost fell down.
Rub your eyes.
The bedroom was very clean and tidy; the place that was messy with piles of bedding in the morning had been restored to its original state.
The bed was placed there perfectly straight.
It's as if it never disappeared.
"How could this be?" Mu Zhen was completely baffled. He stepped forward suspiciously, bent down and lifted the mattress, revealing bundles of banknotes neatly stacked.
Impossible. He was absolutely not mistaken. This place was really emptied out last night.
But... if everything else can be put back in its place, how do you put the serial number of the money back in its place?
That's a billion dollars! Unless you move the whole thing out and then move it back in, who's so amazing that they can even restore the serial number exactly?
For some reason, I suddenly remembered the legend of that haunted house.
Don't ask him why he can remember the serial numbers of the money so clearly. The money is all new, and the serial numbers are connected in many places. The numbers on the top layer are the smallest, and he has touched them countless times.
How could I not remember?
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, just as the hooting of owls drifted in from outside the window…
I took a deep breath of air; it was a bit cool!
[Holy crap! Is there really a ghost here?]
Huangfu Zique stood with his arms crossed, his tall frame leaning against the doorway, a smile on his face indicating that he was in a very good mood: "Oh, it seems I don't have to pay this ten billion!"
Is this the main point? The main point is that this villa might really be haunted. There's not a single suspicious trace on the balcony or inside the house. It's too eerie!
"Cough!" He rubbed his throat, straightened up, put one hand on his hip, pointed to the bed with the other, and feigned helplessness and magnanimity: "Um, you...you wanted to sleep here, right? I agree!"
Huangfu Zique's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
Whatever it is, I'm going to teach it a lesson tonight. It dares to try and steal my money? It's asking for trouble!
[And while I'm at it, I'll rack up some more points.] With a hidden agenda, he glanced sideways at the man. [Little brother, whether I can regain my former glory depends entirely on you!]
Huangfu Zique was speechless. Why did those words sound so strange?
You'd think we were both men, but I'm the one down there practicing your shooting.
However, throughout the night, after various tests and internal monologues, Mu Zhen did not gain any points or encounter any ghosts, and Huangfu Zique did not hear any useful thoughts or dream about the system.
This day.
"Are you sure?" Mu Zhen asked excitedly, holding her phone.
At the breakfast table in the morning, Long Yuan, Huangfu Zique, and Mu Yunfei slowly put down their chopsticks. What had excited her so much?
Yun Dan: 'It's confirmed, this old Chinese medicine doctor is a reclusive master, and it took me a lot of effort to find him.'
He said that if Brother Bai's leg could be cured, it definitely could, but the 3,000-year-old Lishan ginseng was extremely rare; he had tried countless connections but still couldn't find it.
"Three thousand years?!" Mu Zhen scratched his head, all joy replaced by worry, and asked, "Does it have to be from the Lishan area?"
The three men looked at each other in bewilderment. Three thousand years, Mount Li—what was there to misunderstand when these two words were put together?
Mount Li is famous for producing wild ginseng, especially thousand-year-old ginseng.
A thousand-year-old one is not uncommon; Longyuan's family has one treasured.
The governor's mansion also had some, and the Huangfu family even had three of them hidden away.
But three thousand years ago... there really isn't one!
The governor's mansion does have a ginseng that is thousands of years old and comes from a mountain in a foreign country, but its value cannot compare with the ginseng from Mount Li in the East.
This is because Lishan ginseng contains dozens of special components that are not found in ordinary ginseng, resulting in remarkable effects.
Hundreds of years ago, before the technology of cesarean section existed, a princess of the imperial family was pregnant with nine children and was able to give birth safely every time, all thanks to a few pieces of ginseng from Mount Li that were thousands of years old.
The name of Lishan ginseng became famous throughout the country from that time onwards.
Therefore, the only ginseng from Mount Li that is over 3,000 years old can currently be obtained from the palace, and even then, it is not complete.
It's no different from not having it at all. The Di family would never part with it, do they know how difficult it is to preserve ginseng for hundreds of years without it spoiling?
The value of its storage methods far exceeds that of the ginseng itself and cannot be measured in monetary terms.
It should be known that the shelf life of normal ginseng can be stored for at most one or two decades, let alone hundreds of years. How much effort did the imperial family put into it?
Yun Dan dared to make such a request.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's information network was indeed excellent; the Di family was hiding the secret of this ginseng. If Di Tianhuang hadn't told them personally, they wouldn't have known.
No wonder that when they deliberately targeted the airport, so many forces from all over the country came out to kick them while they were down and joined forces to suppress them.
Thinking of something, Long Yuan's face darkened. How high-profile Tianji Tower used to be? Yet no one dared to provoke them.
Tianji Tower considers itself very important and rarely forms alliances with anyone except the Fu family, with whom it has a marriage alliance. To put it bluntly, Tianji Tower has no allies, not even the Fu family, because there is no cooperation between the two.
But it has stood firm in the East like a rock.
Until a few years ago, when they were preparing to eliminate Bai Luoluo, upon reflection, they realized they hadn't actually done much. Tianji Tower collapsed not long after.
At the time, I thought that the various forces only made their move because they wanted to befriend them. Now that I think about it, those people probably had this plan all along, but they just couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Does this mean they indirectly fulfilled those people's wishes?
Tsk! Just how many people's secrets does the Heavenly Secrets Tower hold?
Are any members of the Long family here? They wouldn't know about the Long family's rebellion, would they?
Mu Yunfei also thought of this. No, such a monstrous group must be recruited and put to use by the country. It will definitely become Ahuang's primary intelligence organization.
