I’ll Go Look For It Myself

"Got it," Gu Qingxue replied casually, then put the silver needle tranquilizer gun into her pocket.

With the silver needle tranquilizer gun on her, Gu Qingxue felt much more confident.

In this way, she did not have to be afraid of encountering wild beasts in the mountain.

It took Gu Qingxue about two hours to climb up the mountain path to the halfway point.

There was a large forest halfway up the mountain. Wild beasts were usually seen here, and only hunters would come here.

However, Gu Qingxue did not plan to climb any further because she had to go back before dark, so she decided to search the forest.

The dense forest blocked out the sun, and the sunlight shone through the gaps of the leaves, leaving a mottled shadow on the ground.

At this moment, there was still a group of people moving forward in the forest.

Walking at the front was a dark horse with four feet on the snow. A man dressed in a black robe sat on the horse.

His long black hair was tied up with a silver crown. The man's gorgeous white robe was spotless, and his skin was as white as jade. He had a handsome face that could topple cities. His beauty was extremely intense, and his facial features were deep, his pair of long and narrow eyes seemed to have gathered the power of the night. They were mysterious and seductive, but people did not dare to look at them directly.

Like a banished immortal who had walked out from an ink painting, the man's body exuded an icy aura that no one was allowed to enter.

He sat on the horse's back and looked ahead indifferently. His thin lips were slightly pursed.

The few shadow guards following behind the man felt the low pressure that was emitted from the man's body and all of them shivered in fear.

They had followed their master for a short period of five days and had already climbed four great mountains. On this day, it was the fifth one.

It was all for the sake of finding a medicinal herb called the Worry-Relieving Grass for their young master.

However, the Worry-Relieving Grass was a medicinal herb that existed in legends. It had long disappeared without a trace a hundred years ago.

Their regent king's manor had also posted a heavy bounty. As long as someone could offer a single stalk of the Worry-Relieving Grass, that person would be the regent king's manor's benefactor, and they would definitely receive a heavy reward.

However, the huge reward had already been posted for three months and no one had been able to find the Worry-Relieving Grass.

Hence, their master had personally made a move.

After these few days of running around, the shadow guards had already lost all hope, but their master was still persisting.

"Your highness, you haven't rested since last night." A shadow guard dressed in black armor slightly increased his speed and walked to Rong Zhan's side, "Why don't you rest for a while? Your subordinates will be responsible for searching this forest properly."

"No, thanks." The deep and magnetic voice was a little cold. Rong Zhan kicked the horse's belly, and the black horse sped up. "You guys rest here for a while. I'll go look for it myself."

The shadow guards did not dare to disobey Rong Zhan's order, so they could only stop and watch Rong Zhan and the black horse disappear into the forest together.

On Gu Qingxue's side, there was a small amount of herbs in the herb basket.

However, those herbs were common herbs that were not worth much. Gu Qingxue did not see any precious herbs like ginseng or Ganoderma along the way.

Just when Gu Qingxue thought that she might not get anything that day, a small green color hidden under a big tree caught her attention.

The green color, which was about the size of a bean, was hidden among the dead leaves. Although there was only a sharp tip, Gu Qingxue could still see what it was.

It was the Worry-Relieving Grass!
