As the grand opening of Fusheng Pavilion approached, the task of personnel training had been entrusted to Shang Lu, Shang Zhi, and, with a little extra push, Xu Xian. However, the most significant issue that remained unresolved was the supply of medicinal herbs.

Liu Shimei had been racking her brains over the issue of medicinal herb suppliers. If she could secure this ‘Medicine Lord’ before her, wouldn’t she have a guaranteed source for some rare herbs in the future?

For someone of Mu Jiangli’s stature, money was not the issue; the real challenge was capturing his interest.

Hence, she suppressed the odd sensation she felt and resolved to make a favorable impression on Mu Jiangli, paving the way for herself in the future.

For ordinary medicinal herbs, she could follow Shu Jun’s recommendations and select from those two mixed suppliers. As for the rare herbs, she could procure them directly from Mu Jiangli.

“Miss Liu, have you come to inspect the exhibits? Is there something in particular that has caught your eye?” Mu Jiangli’s features were firm, yet he exuded a refreshing and clear aura.

When he looked at Liu Shimei, he appeared unexpectedly gentle, to the extent that Huangfu Lingyao felt a sense of crisis.

Mu Jiangli lowered his eyelids, feeling that something was amiss. He had intentionally arranged this meeting, so why did he sense that something was slipping out of his control?

Liu Shimei was oblivious to his inner turmoil, her thoughts entirely focused on how to win over this Young Master Mu. With her most friendly smile, she replied, “The exhibits are just material possessions, and 1 have no worries in terms of clothing and food. I don’t lack these things.”

For her, Medicine Lord equaled herbs, equaled a business opportunity! So, she had to find a way to hold onto this opportunity.

Mu Jiangli’s gaze fell briefly on her simple hairpin and the plain clothes she wore, seemingly lost in thought. However, it didn’t last long, and he said, “I have a residence in the Thousand Butterfly Valley. If Eldest Miss Liu doesn’t mind, 1 can have my servants prepare tea and welcome you.”

“I was just thinking this place isn’t very interesting. The Thousand Butterfly Valley is so beautiful; 1 imagine Mr. Mu’s residence must have a pleasant view as well.” Liu Shimei naturally did not refuse. However, she did not forget about Liang Yi and the others and added, “But I have an elder brother and friends waiting behind. I must meet up with them.”

Mu Jiangli was about to respond when he heard a commotion.

His brows furrowed deeply as he turned to the servant behind him. “Go and see what’s happening.”

But Liu Shimei’s expression changed when she overheard it.

Huangfu Lingyao widened his beautiful eyes. “Wife, is someone fighting?”

Shu Jun added, “Master, judging by the sound, doesn’t it seem related to Ninth Young Master Liang and Miss Zhang?”

“Let’s go take a look,” Liu Shimei thought the same and quickly grabbed Huangfu Lingyao’s hand. Without saying anything more to Mu Jiangli, she hurriedly headed toward the exhibition hall, holding up her dress as she went. Indeed, the exhibition hall was in turmoil!

There had originally been dozens of people inside admiring the exhibits, but now it was almost empty. In the midst of the onlookers, holding short knives and battling with someone, was none other than Liang Yi!

The Liang family had a long line of martial artists, and their martial skills were meant for the battlefield, making them extremely robust. Although Liang Yi was still young, he was very agile and had learned some nimble techniques from mingling with people from all walks of life. His movements were as graceful as a swimming dragon, and his attacks were fast and fierce.

However, his opponent was not weak either. A middle-aged martial artist from the Jianghu, aged over 30, was battling him. While Liang Yi’s moves were quick and fierce, the older man was sly and ruthless. At first, Liang Yi had the upper hand, but soon, he was being overpowered.

“You shameless old man, you’re twice as old as my Ninth Brother, and you have the audacity to fight him!” Seeing her own brother getting beaten up, Liu Shimei’s face darkened. She muttered something and was about to say, “Mr. Zhong…”

But before she could call out Zhong Lang’s name, a figure shot out from behind her like a gust of wind. Within three moves, he blocked the Jianghu man and prevented him from hurting Liang Yi!

This showed just how skilled this person was!

It was Mu Jiangli..
