Chapter 1820: Chapter 1817: Entertaining a Guest

Not planning to go out, she wore comfortable casual clothes and sat on the soft couch reading a book, while Chu Ziluo accompanied Nuanbao beside her.

Ye Muyu was deeply engrossed in medical books.

Su Mei returned, saying that the Sacred Girl of Southern Border had personally come to visit.

Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, somewhat suspicious whether something happened in the Southern Border; otherwise, why would she, after openly probing her, not fear Chu Heng’s concern and come in person?

It seems the matter involving Yun Tan’s medicinal herbs is indeed significant, significant enough to risk offending her and Chu Heng, just to ensure nothing has been leaked.

Ye Muyu recalled the details from before at the Buddhist Light Temple.

It seemed except for accompanying others to help find someone, she was never alone.

Yet she couldn’t remember where exactly she encountered Bai Tan.

But Ye Muyu didn’t trouble herself for not remembering, as long as the current situation is handled well.

She believed that soon Chu Heng would definitely have good news.

The Imperial Family’s people along with Chu Heng’s men were directed towards checking out the Southern Border group, and results would soon be forthcoming.

Ye Muyu thought of something and asked, “Is there any news from the Southern Border Witch Doctor?”

“Yes, an hour ago, someone took away the Southern Border Witch Doctor, but not many know about this. Zhu San said this news was only known through Master’s people.”

“No wonder.” Ye Muyu didn’t find it strange; Zhu San and others, no matter how sharp, couldn’t surpass the Imperial secret guards, and in this matter, only with Chu Heng’s involvement could the accurate news be known immediately.

And Chu Heng conveyed the news through Zhu San, clearly intending to cultivate her subordinates.

A smile bloomed at the corner of Ye Muyu’s lips, accepting his goodwill.

Su Mei observed Ye Muyu’s good mood, assuming it was just because the Southern Border Witch Doctor was caught, and thought no more.

She went to bring the Sacred Girl of Southern Border to the living room.

Ye Muyu changed into guest-receiving attire and personally went to meet the Sacred Girl of Southern Border.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border sat quietly in the living room, took a sip of tea, and placed it beside herself, no longer moving.

Upon hearing a sound, she raised her head to see Ye Muyu entering from outside. Despite using cosmetics, a hint of paleness and fragility was still visible.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border stood up and greeted her.

Ye Muyu smiled, reached out to support her, “Saintess, there’s no need for formalities, please sit.”

“Madam, you may call me by my name,” the Sacred Girl of Southern Border said in a gentle tone, unable to resist glancing at her several times as she spoke.

Ye Muyu coughed lightly and sat down beside her.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border looked at her with bright eyes and asked with concern, “I heard the Madam caught a cold, is it better now?”

“It’s just a common fever; my family was very worried and suggested I recuperate. I’m sorry I couldn’t meet as planned.” Ye Muyu’s brows revealed a hint of sweetness, showing she was indeed happy.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border was only briefly surprised and then composed herself, “If the Madam doesn’t mind, I also know a bit of medical skill and can help you look over.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Ye Muyu said with some interest, “I’ve long heard that the medical skills of Southern Border are outstanding, but haven’t experienced it yet. If Miss Bai is willing to examine me, I’d be thrilled, to recover soon to ease my family’s concerns.”

“Thank you, Miss Bai,” Ye Muyu smiled softly at her and raised her hand, placing her wrist on the low table beside her.

The Sacred Girl of Southern Border gently shook her head, indicating it was no trouble.
