Chapter 18: Xiao Li Went Out

Her task was to send a letter to Great General Bai, Bai Xifeng's father. Her father did not return to the capital for many years guarding the Liuyin Kingdom. To survive, Bai Xifeng needed her father as her safeguard.

After completing her first task, she still got the second task. It was to get some medicine from the herbs shop. Xiao Li asked someone about that since she did not know where the herbs shop was.

Her young miss just got money from the Old Madam Bai. Now she wanted to buy some herbs. Her young miss gave a paper that contained the list of the herbs that her young miss wanted. Even she did not know what kind of herbs her young miss wanted to buy.

Xiao Li entered the herbs shop. There was just a shopkeeper inside the shop. Xiao Li approached the shopkeeper. It was an old man.

"What do you want to buy?" The old man asked when he saw Xiao Li seemed too nervous inside the herbs shop.

"Hmm... Can I get the herbs on this list?" Xiao Li handed out the paper to the old man.

The old man looked at the paper that was given by the young girl. When he read the list of herbs, his eyes opened widely. 'This list of herbs is the cure for deadly poisons. Who the hell has this kind of poison?' He needed to ask the young girl in front of him.

"Young Miss, who are you buying these herbs for?" The old man asked.

"Hmm... It is for my young miss." Xiao Li answered.

"Oh, which family does your young miss belong to?" The old man asked again.

This time, Xiao Li did not answer him directly. "Sir, can I get these herbs from your shop?" Xiao Li did not want the old man to know about her young miss.

Her young miss already told her that she must never tell anyone about her purchase of these herbs. If the old man asked another question about her young miss's identity, she would go to another herbs store.

"Okay... Okay... You can. Please wait a minute. I will get them for you." The old man quickly got his work done.

Xiao Li waited for about 15 minutes for the old man to finish getting the herbs that her young miss wanted.

"Young Miss, here are the herbs that you requested. All of these herbs are 1000 Liang." The old man put the herbs on the counter.

"1000 Liang?" Xiao Li was shocked to hear about the amount of money that she needed to buy these herbs.

"What? You don't have it?" The old man frowned. He thought this young girl belonged to a young miss of the rich house. Then he sneered. "If you don't have the money, it is okay. But you just need to tell me who your young miss is."
