Chapter 80 Another Routine? Yue Guan Takes the Bait
Sunset Forest, within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
After Yue Guan entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, he never blinked again.
To the untrained eye, it's nothing more than a beautiful scene.
But for someone like Yue Guan, who has an extreme understanding of Immortal Herbs, this place is simply paradise.
"This is actually a Beautiful Silk Tulip?! Its quality looks even better than this Chrysanthemum."
"This is Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone?! And, and that one too, that's actually an Eight Petal Immortal Orchid!"
Before each Immortal Herb, Yue Guan would devoutly worship it before carefully touching it with his fingers, his face showing great excitement.
After Qin Mu and the other two led Yue Guan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, they went about their own business, leaving Yue Guan to admire each and every Immortal Herb.
Then, everyone heard Yue Guan exclaim from time to time, and then watched him come to an Immortal Herb and bow to it repeatedly.
"Holy crap! That's it!"
Before long, Yue Guan's voice came again, this time with a greater commotion than ever before.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yue Guan standing in front of a small white flower growing on a rock.
The stone was entirely black, with a few striking red patches on the white flowers.
Yue Guan was already very devout to the previous Immortal Herbs, but in front of this white flower, he even knelt down and bowed directly to the small white flower.
"Qin Mu, what flowers are they worshipping at Yue Guan now? Why do they seem different from the ones they worshipped before?"
Dugu Bo moved closer to Qin Mu and asked curiously.
"That Immortal Herb is called Lovesick Heartbreak Red. It can be said to be the top-grade Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, and it also has the title of King of Flowers."
"I see."
Hearing Qin Mu's explanation, Dugu Bo nodded, then looked at Qin Mu and asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"Hehe, they all have the Immortal Herb, so should I too?"
Qin Mu glanced at Dugu Bo, then chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you'll get your share."
After saying that, Qin Mu went on to do his own thing, leaving Dugu Bo aside.
Seeing Qin Mu getting busy, Dugu Bo really wanted to ask when it would be, but in the end he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Old Poisoner, although I have neutralized and brought the toxins in your body under reasonable control before, the residual toxins in your body have not been completely eliminated."
"Once the remaining toxins in your body are completely absorbed, I will select a suitable Immortal Herb for you."
"Are you relieved now?"
Noticing Dugu Bo's hesitant expression, Qin Mu didn't blame him but patiently explained it to him.
At this moment, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive reply, and then scratched his head awkwardly.
"Hehe, of course I believe you!"
After saying that, Dugu Bo turned around and went to the other side.
Although no one disturbed Yue Guan, they were still observing him without realizing it.
Yue Guan seemed completely absorbed in the Immortal Herbs and did not notice the others observing him.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Yue Guan had examined all the Immortal Herbs.
With a lingering sense of satisfaction, Yue Guan withdrew his gaze, having practically paid homage to all the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Turning to look at Qin Mu not far away, Yue Guan's eyes now held many different things.
"Little Qin Mu..."
Yue Guan came up to Qin Mu, wanting to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say anything.
"Oh, Grandpa Yue, it's alright. I know you're here on a mission, so I didn't mean anything by it."
"I brought you to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes simply to show you around; there was absolutely no other intention."
"Knowing you like flowers, I brought you here especially to see them."
Hearing Qin Mu's words, not only Dugu Bo, but even Ling Yuan's lips twitched slightly.
Is this what you call having no other meaning? That old guy Yue Guan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
"Haha, good child, I've already lived a life well-lived just to see these flowers!"
Yue Guan's eyes were red with excitement. He was so focused on the Immortal Herb in front of him that he had no ability to think at all.
"Now that you've seen it all, let's get ready to go!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's previously excited face instantly froze.
"You...you're leaving already? What about these Immortal Herbs..."
Yue Guan pointed blankly at the Immortal Herb behind him, his face full of regret.
"Grandpa Yue, don't forget you still have your mission."
"I don't want to put you in a difficult position, but ultimately we are on different paths."
"For the sake of our past relationship, I'm bringing you here for one last look."
Yue Guan paused again, "The last look, what does that mean?"
Qin Mu sighed, looking rather helpless.
"Although you promise not to reveal the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, I still say that we are not on the same path."
"So, we probably won't come here again in the future, and we'll take all these Immortal Herbs with us."
"Old Poisoner, make your move!"
Having received Qin Mu's hint, before Yue Guan could react, Dugu Bo arrived in front of an Immortal Herb and roughly pulled it out of the soil.
"No, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Yue Guan rushed to Dugu Bo's side like a madman, kicked Dugu Bo aside, and then picked up the Immortal Herb with some heartache to examine it, afraid that something might have happened to it.
"I swore! I would never lie, what more do you want!"
"How can we not be on the same path? I think we're just like each other!"
Yue Guan was so anxious that he started talking nonsense, and he carefully wiped the Immortal Herb in his hand.
"No matter which path you're on, from now on I'll be on the same path as you, okay?"
Seeing that Yue Guan had taken the bait, Qin Mu, though having expected it, still breathed a sigh of relief.
Pretending to look troubled, Qin Mu wanted to try to trick Yue Guan again, but saw Yue Guan stand up with a serious expression.
"I, Yue Guan, swear by my Spirit that from this day forward, I will officially become a comrade of Qin Mu!"
"Is this alright now? Let's stop wasting these precious herbs!"
Yue Guan sat down on the ground with a long face.
Although some people made such vows in a moment of passion, fortunately, these Immortal Herbs should be able to be saved.
With a soft sigh, Yue Guan looked around at the beautiful Immortal Herbs. It seemed that because of his rescue, they bloomed even more beautifully in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Ling Yuan, who was standing to the side, seemed to find this scene somewhat familiar.
Where have I seen this before? I can't remember.
However, looking at Yue Guan in front of her and Dugu Bo not far away, Ling Yuan was still happy for Qin Mu.
Although they didn't know what Qin Mu was planning to do, the good thing was that their team had indeed grown stronger!
