39 Sniffing

Zhu Xiao Wan put the stacks down onto the grass and placed a hand on top so nothing would fly away. She guessed that she would need to wait for someone to come by that was not servants.

Guang Ling was checking Zhu Xiao Qian's condition in the nearby building. Luckily, he happened to pass the grass plain when he was leaving. Sensing his presence, Zhu Xiao Wan called out.

"Xiao Wan, what with those papers?"

"It's nothing, just some works I need to do," she said. "Master, do you have a wheelchair?"

Zhu Xiao Wan was right to ask Guang Ling if he had a wheelchair, he was after all a doctor before he could become a poison master. Guang Ling looked through his silver cache earring and took out a wheelchair.

Making sure the wheelchair was working just fine, he summoned a servant girl to come. The servant girl came and help Zhu Xiao Wan up to sit in the wheelchair while Guang Ling held the paper stacks.

"Thank you."

On the way to Zhu Xiao Wan's room, the old man stroked his beard and asked, "Do you want to continue on learning?"

"I can?" Of course, she wanted to continue, but how?

"You can use your nose to identify different types of plants." He brought out a small stock of blue leaves and moved it close to Zhu Xiao Wan's face. "What is this?"

The plant in front of her face smelled salty and moist. Despite being a plant, there was no sense of dirt nor any soil.

"Saline Water Moss?"

"That's right," Guang Ling retracted his hand and said. "Saline Water Moss is a plant that grows in the sea or a saltwater lake. Its appearance is small and blue, it is impossible to find them unless there is moonlight shining upon the water surface. We can only use the moonlight to find these.

"Because it's difficult to find, many people tried to challenge themselves but most of them died."

Zhu Xiao Wan's neat eyebrows perked up, "Those people were quite stupid not to do any research." Saline Water Moss was not a non-toxic plant. Only doctors, specialists in the field of pharmacology or the similar would be able to hold these grass bare hands. They had to detoxify the poison from the plant before touching it with their hands uncovered.

"Master, please help me." This was a good chance for her to train her nose.

"Wake up!" Ning Rou Li shook the sleeping Zhuang Yang. "Moonrise already!"

Zhuang Yang grunted and turned around, "What is it, annoying girl?"

"Annoying girl!?" She impatiently punched his stomach, making Zhuang Yang groaned. Although Ning Rou Li's power was no match for Zhuang Yang, it still hurt.

"Ugh, what now?" He sat up and looked at her with sleeping and tired eyes.

"Train me and my brother, please," said Ning Rou Li. Their power was not strong enough yet, and there was a genius in front of them. She wanted to ask Zhuang Yang to help them on their training this morning already but he was sent to fetch money.

"Why?"

Ning Rou Li bit her lip and lowered her head slightly before raising it. "We want to get stronger!"

Zhuang Yang gazed into that black but pure eyes that showed the light of persistence. He was bad at doing business and the similar stuff, but training and cultivating were his specialties. He sighed, "Fine." He could train himself in the period of teaching them, too.

When they went out of the room to meet Ning Hai Heng, they saw a dark figure. Their eyes dilated and found that the dark figure was Song Hui Yao. Walking towards him, they greeted, "Prince Shen, you're back."

"Mmm."

Zhuang Yang suddenly remembered the papers stacks and that Zhu Xiao Wan couldn't see, he said, "Prince Shen, I think Young Miss Zhu needs you to be her eyes."

Song Hui Yao's brows rose and his eyelids lifted slightly, "Her eyes?"

"Mm-hmm, I just gave her three packets of paper this afternoon."

Three packets?

After they left, Song Hui Yao strode to Zhu Xiao Wan's room. It must be the report of Fragrant Rose and Sea Atoll, but the third one...
