Mr. Fuyi put away the umbrella and lifted his legs to walk in. It was at this moment that Gu Xijiu realized that there was a mechanism! It seemed like the person who designed this mechanism was indeed a master.
Gu Xijiu followed him in, and the door behind him slowly disappeared. It was a different world behind the secret door. It was actually exquisite, like the room of a young lady. There were famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and the furniture in the house were all valuable antiques.
It was more appropriate to refer to this place as a palace than a house. That was because the space was incredibly vast and wide. The ground was covered with white carpet, and the other end of the carpet was a high platform like a golden temple. There was a chair with fox-skin on it, and a teenager was sitting on the chair.
Gu Xijiu was not sure about the gender of the teenager because the person was dressed like a man, but had the face of a lady. Big eyes, small mouth, fair skin, and two dimples. The person’s eyebrows were quite thick, which made the teenager slightly masculine. Without the need to ask, Gu Xijiu knew that this was the one behind the scenes.
In this hall, eight people were standing neatly on both sides. The teenager saw that Mr. Fuyi walked in and immediately laughed loudly. Mr. Fuyi was then invited to sit by the person’s side. Mr. Fuyi did not reject and only sat down beside the teenager. He looked very relaxed and casual. Apparently, he was a special guest here.
“Mr. Fuyi, how is the progress? Did you manage to come up with the prescription already?” The person behind the scene asked. The voice of this person was also very neutral, which made Gu Xijiu unable to distinguish the gender.
Mr. Fuyi flicked his fingers on his robe as if he was flicking dirt off his robe. “There are still a few more steps. Young palace master, being impatient would not help the matter.”
The young palace master frowned. “I worry that the longer the delays, the lower the power of the kids. I was planning to use them to refine medicine two days ago… The longer it delays, the more variables we will have.”
Mr. Fuyi smirked. “If you cannot wait, you can use them to refine as medicine now. However, the medicine can only be consumed by a woman. It should not be a problem for you to take it.”
His reply choked the young palace master.
Mr. Fuyi stood up. “Since you do not need me anymore, I will not stay here any longer. I will leave now. Goodbye.” He turned and wanted to go.
Meanwhile, the young palace master quickly stood up. “Mr. Fuyi, please stay. I apologize for my rashness. I hope that you don’t blame me for it.”
She took out a purple-red Lingzhi from her robe and handed it over. “This is a thousand years old Lingzhi, and I will give it to you as compensation for my mistake.”
Mr. Fuyi did not accept it and said indifferently, “You do not have to be like this. We used to take what we needed from each other. Once I help you to refine the medicine successfully, you just need to give me the thing I want as promised before.”
“Of course! Of course!” The young palace master quickly answered.
Two of them chatted for a while, and the young palace never stopped mentioning the prescription. Mr. Fuyi gently sighed. “This medicine is extremely complex. If you can tell me the specification of the person who needs this medicine, I can probably quickly formulate the prescription accordingly.”
The young palace master was stunned. “I have told you before. I am the one who will consume it…”
Mr. Fuyi looked at her and did not speak. His gaze was intense.
