nTranslator: 549690339

nImperial physician Liu was shocked. my Lord, please look into this matter. The Imperial Academy of Medicine has always been clean and upright.

nAs he was speaking, a female official took out a remaining leaf from Zhao Zishan’s sleeve and handed it to the inventory officer, “”Your Excellency, please take a look!”

nThe latter’s eyes swept across the room, and his expression turned cold. it’s indeed the yunluo sacred leaf. Only the stem is left!

nThere were only two places where the yunluo sacred leaf could be found!

nThe White cloud City!

nImperial Academy of Medicine’s Royal medicinal ingredient warehouse!

nIt was impossible for a mere assistant to obtain the yunluo sacred leaf from the White cloud City.

nThe only possibility was that he had stolen it from the Royal herb vault!

nWhat?

nImperial physician Liu and the others were shocked.

nThere were three yunluo sacred leaves in the Royal medicinal herb room.

nIt could only be taken out when the monarch needed it.

nIt was easy to imagine where Zhao Zishan’s remaining joke came from!

n“My Lord, I’m innocent! This is a high-quality imitation!” Zhao Zishan stared blankly for a moment, then finally understood that the trouble was caused by the leaf stem that he had not had time to identify.

n“How dare you!” The female official rebuked coldly. You’re caught red-handed and still dare to quibble!”

nHow could Zhao Zishan plead guilty?

nHe immediately defended himself, ” my Lord, it’s absolutely true. This is a high-quality imitation that a country bumpkin gave to my sister. If you don’t believe me, you can check it on the spot. I swear on my life that it’s not the real thing!

nHe spoke with such conviction, but the female official did not waver in the slightest.

nSince she was sent here to take inventory of the medicinal herbs, she naturally knew all kinds of medicinal herbs like the back of her hand.

nEspecially for precious medicinal herbs, he would not be mistaken.

nHowever, this was a matter of great importance, so she did not dare to be too arbitrary.

n“You want to test it? Alright, I’ll make you give up!” The female official waved her hand and someone sent a basin of well-prepared clear liquid.

nIt looked like water, but it was very dense, like a basin of oil.

nonly the liquid of the yunluo sacred leaf will form a special color when it drops into this water. The female official squeezed the stem of the leaf with her fingers and squeezed out a drop of clear and crisp liquid.

nAfter the liquid fell into the water, it didn’t sink, but continued to spread.

nThe clear water in the basin quickly turned dark blue.

nThe look in Imperial physician Liu’s eyes changed.

nThis was indeed a special color that could only be detected by the liquid of the yunluo sacred leaf.

nZhao Zishan had really stolen a yunluo sacred leaf.

nIf that was the case, he was really too bold!

nWasn’t he afraid of his family being exterminated?

n“Men, take him away!” The female official’s eyes were cold.

nIf he dared to touch this thing, she couldn’t even cover up for him.

n“I’m innocent! This really is a fake yunluo sacred leaf!” Zhao Zishan was still crying out for his innocence.

nWasn’t that so?

nWhat status did Xia qingchen have to be able to give out the yunluo sacred leaf?

nThis was definitely fake!

n“Stubborn! Slap his mouth!” The female official turned around and rebuked.

nA female official stepped forward and gave Zhao Zishan a tight slap, causing him to shut up immediately.

nZhao Zishan immediately threw a pleading look at Imperial physician Liu.

n“My Lord, why don’t we check the Royal medicinal herb chamber first before we make a decision?” the latter cupped his fists and said.

nThe female official thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

nThe group immediately headed to the Royal medicinal herb chamber.

nIn the end, the three yunluo sacred leaves were all intact.

nIt was neither stolen nor damaged.

nOnly then did the female official realize that she had wrongly accused him and had even slapped him in the face for nothing.

nOf course, she would never apologize.

nEspecially to a small Imperial physician’s assistant.

n“Since it’s a misunderstanding, let him go.” The female official waved her hand. After a casual inspection, she swaggered away.

nThere was no intention of compensation at all.

nIn her eyes, Zhao Zishan was just a dispensable nobody.

nShe had already hit him, what else could she do?

nZhao Zishan covered his mouth and sent the other party off respectfully.

n“Lord Liu, what did I do wrong? did I offend that female official?” It’s clearly a fake yunluo sacred leaf, but you insist it’s real and deliberately embarrass me. ”

n“Zishan, can you tell me if you’ve met with a benefactor recently?” Imperial physician Liu’s face darkened.

nZhao Zishan’s face was full of confusion, “no!” However, there’s a beggar who’s staying in my house.”

n“This is strange!” Imperial physician Liu thought for a moment and said,”only a noble person could casually give your sister a real yunluo sacred leaf.”

nUh

n“Lord Liu, didn’t I say that it was a fake yunluo sacred leaf?” Zhao Zishan was stunned.

nTo his surprise, Imperial physician Liu looked at him in disappointment. “You!

nIf you don’t understand, then learn more and ask more. Don’t speak arbitrarily.

nWasn’t the lesson you just learned enough?”

nIt was precisely because Zhao Zishan was blindly shouting that he was slapped.

nUnfortunately, it seemed that Zhao Zishan had not learned his lesson.

n“Ah! ‘This … Is this for real?” Zhao Zishan said in shock.

nHe took it for granted that the female official was deliberately making things difficult for him.

n“Can it be fake?” “I knew it when I took out the stem,” Imperial physician Liu said, “it’s definitely authentic!” But you still keep saying that it’s a high-quality imitation. How can lady official not be angry?”

na slap on your face is a light punishment. If it were those ruthless female officials, they would have chopped you up on the spot for your unguilty attitude. No one would plead for you! Imperial physician Liu lectured. Zhao Zishan’s entire body trembled, and he muttered, “”lt shouldn’t be!”

nWhere did Xia qingchen get the yunluo sacred leaf from?

nHow could he be willing to give it to his sister?

nImperial physician Liu, to tell you the truth, this yunluo sacred leaf was a gift from a distant relative of mine to my sister. With his status, he shouldn’t even be able to afford a leaf stem! Zhao Zishan voiced his doubts.

nImperial physician Liu muttered, ” recently, the White cloud City has been pillaged by bandits. It is said that ten yunluo sacred leaves were lost. Perhaps he found one by accident.

nObtained from the chaos?

nDidn’t that mean that he had to steal?

nZhao Zishan was both contemptuous and annoyed.

n“He really isn’t a good person!” Zhao Zishan said hatefully.

nHe had actually caused him to be humiliated and had been slapped for no reason!

nIn truth, what he hated the most was that Xia qingchen had only given it to his younger sister and not him!

nHe, Xia qingchen, ate and lived in the Zhao Manor.

nIn the end, there was something good that he was hiding!

nHe didn’t get any benefits, but instead, he was filled with a stomach full of grievances.

nSuch thoughts were truly laughable.

nBoth father and son treated Xia qingchen as a beggar and weren’t willing to speak much to him during the meal.

nWhy did Xia qingchen still have to gift the precious yunluo sacred leaf to him?

n“Forget it, since this matter is already in the past, let’s not pursue it anymore.” Imperial physician Liu paused for a moment and his expression softened, “”My disappointing eldest son has some free time recently and would like to discuss his marriage with your sister.”

nUpon hearing this, Zhao Zishan immediately burst with joy and said, “”Alright, I’ll get ready immediately.”

nTwo days later.

nIn the room, Xia qingchen slowly stood up. Streams of Qi currents appeared on the surface of his body, contracting and circulating rapidly with him as the center.

n“Mixed Yuan undying body!” come! he shouted and sucked the teapot over.

nIn the end, the teapot crashed into the air current on the surface of his body and was instantly crushed into powder!

nAfter two days of hard work, he had finally completed the first form of the origin convergence Qi!

nAt this point, his suppressed cultivation had finally recovered.

nHe slowly stopped and thought, ‘it would be great if someone could spar with me on the spot. I can test the power of the indestructible origin body..’
