Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 32

Chapter 32: What Is There That I Don’t Know

Xiang Yin sat down on the sofa leisurely, then crossed his legs and said calmly, “Recently, my mother asked me to help look at a few young masters for Xiang Yi. She said that Xiang Yi is at an age where she should get married.”

Cui Lin’s expression changed instantly and he stammered, “Xiang Yi is getting married?”

“That’s right. Isn’t it normal?”

“Then… have you found someone?”

“I’m still helping her take a look. I just need to find a sensible one!” With that, he glanced at Cui Lin.

Cui Lin paused for a moment and suddenly patted his head. “Aiya, I remember now. You’re talking about the Miracle Rejuvenation Pill. You want two, right? Wait.”

Then, he rushed out of the door like a whirlwind, and his n.o.ble and reserved aura instantly disappeared. After a while, he returned with a blue porcelain bottle in his hand.

“This is the masterpiece I’m most proud of. I went all over the southwest to collect medicinal herbs and it took me two years to successfully develop it.” As he spoke, he handed it to Xiang Yin respectfully, looking like a monkey asking for credit.

Xiang Yin took it and handed the bottle to Gu Man. “Take one first.”

Cui Lin watched as Gu Man took the bottle and his heart ached. The Xiang Family’s Second Young Master actually used his treasure to woo a beauty.

But what could he do? The Second Young Master of the Xiang Family had caught his weakness.

Gu Man opened the bottle and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. It was very pleasant.

Looking at Cui Lin’s pained expression, she inferred that this medicinal pill should be extremely precious. When she first smelled the medicinal fragrance, she could smell more than ten rare herbs. Some of these herbs were scattered in the dangerous southwest region, and it was extremely difficult to pick them. Even after gathering all the herbs, the ratio of the formula was still extremely vital. Any more or any less, the medicinal effect would be different.

This Miracle Rejuvenation Pill was indeed top-notch. Gu Man thought: this pill was worth a lot of money, right? However, Xiang Yin handed it to her without blinking, and Gu Man’s heart warmed slightly.

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched by his help this time. But she was not qualified to repay him for the time being. She would find another chance later.

Gu Man put the pill into her mouth and a refres.h.i.+ng sweetness melted on the tip of her tongue.

Cui Lin looked at Gu Man. This little girl knew acupuncture. Did she know herbology?

Out of curiosity, Cui Lin asked, “Miss Gu Man, my pill is made from 18 kinds of herbs. How many can you taste?”

Gu Man narrowed her eyes and carefully tasted the medicinal pill in her mouth. At the same time, she spat out a bunch of medicinal herb names. “Sunset musk mallow, Indian mallow, Catechu, Latherleaf, Siberian Ginseng, Three-leaved Acanthopanax, Makha Tree, Billygoat weed, Bugleweed, j.a.panese bugle flower…”

Every time she named one of the herbs, Cui Lin would be even more surprised. This little girl was so smart?

Seeing Gu Man stop at the name of the last herb, Cui Lin was pleased. This herb was almost extinct. Almost no one on the market uses it in medicinal pills now.

“Nine Vine Immortal?” Gu Man looked at Cui Lin in surprise. “You can actually find Nine Vine Immortal?”

When Cui Lin heard Gu Man say “Nine Vine Immortal”, he looked at her in surprise. “You actually know about Nine Vine Immortal?”

A dark glint flashed across Xiang Yin’s deep eyes. What else did he not know about this girl?

Also, why did their mutual appreciation just now look a little annoying?

Cui Lin asked, “Miss Gu Man, you know a lot at such a young age. Have you specially studied it?”

Cui Lin’s question was also what Xiang Yin wanted to ask.

There were too many secrets on Gu Man waiting for him to explore. Now, Xiang Yin could not tell if he wanted to explore these secrets or if he was attracted by Gu Man’s aura.

No matter the reason, or perhaps there was no reason, he wanted to help her.

Gu Man had already thought of a reason. “I used to like to study herbs in the countryside. My granduncle is good at Chinese medicine. I learned some from him when I was young.”

The Host did have a granduncle who dabbled in Chinese medicine. When her grandmother was not at home, she would follow her granduncle to his pharmacy, but the Host did not learn these at all.

Both Xiang Yin and Cui Lin suspected her reason.

Gu Man’s superb acupuncture and her understanding of so many mysterious herbs were not something that an old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in the countryside could teach her.

However, it was obvious that Gu Man was unwilling to reveal anything, so they could only give up.
