After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Senior Martial Uncle Tang’s Predicament
Cen Zhiyuan still had no idea whom he had offended. He watched Zhouzhou and the others leave, hummed lightly, and instructed the staff, “Find out if there’s any 500-year-old ginseng available and make sure not to sell it to those two just now.”

“Yes.”

Still feeling unsatisfied, Cen Zhiyuan made a few more phone calls to others, instructing them not to sell ginseng to Zhouzhou, not even the 100-year-old ones.

Doesn’t Li Yuanming have the King of Ginseng? Let her go ask him!

He wanted to see if Li Yuanming would be willing to give it to her.

He wanted to uproot them, but he didn’t expect that Zhouzhou wouldn’t buy ginseng in Jing City at all. With a single phone call from Grandpa Qin, the purchased ginseng arrived in the northeast overnight. He offered a high price, and who could resist? The bosses of the shops that sold ginseng all rushed over with their prized ginseng.

Before long, several large sacks of ginseng were loaded onto a plane and flew towards Jing City.

Grandpa Qin kept his promise, and as soon as Zhouzhou woke up, she saw the ginseng. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, Grandpa is amazing!”

Grandpa Qin smiled and rubbed her head. “Just tell grandpa whatever you want in the future, and grandpa will help you find it.”

“Okay! Thank you, Grandpa.” Zhouzhou held his hand against her head and rubbed it against his palm. “Touch my head, Grandpa.”

She knew that her grandpa liked to touch her head, but he was too shy about it. He always did it discreetly, but she had long noticed.

His thoughts were suddenly exposed by the little girl, and Grandpa Qin, rarely, blushed. But he couldn’t bear to refuse, so in the end, he followed her wishes and touched her head.

The little girl had a round head. When she was bald, it was smooth, but now that she had grown hair, it felt fluffy. Coupled with her chubby face, it melted Grandpa Qin’s heart.

Since Zhouzhou started using the hair tonic she prepared herself, her hair grew quickly. It wouldn’t be long before she could tie it up into little pigtails.

Grandpa Qin couldn’t help but imagine that scene. Just the thought of it melted his heart, let alone seeing it in person.

Zhouzhou was still unaware of her grandpa’s daydreaming. She happily ran to the ginseng, opened the bag, and instantly filled the room with the scent of ginseng.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but take a deep breath and opened them one by one. She found that they were all over 400 years old, and there were even many wild ginseng, which had excellent effects.

The most surprising thing was that there was even a 600-year-old ginseng inside.

As Zhouzhou looked at these ginseng, various medicinal formulas flashed through her mind.

Heart-Protecting Pills, Antidote Pills, Nourishing Pills, Revitalizing Pills, Qi-Boosting Pills…

So many of them! She was going to make a fortune!

The little girl smiled so much that her eyes curved. Seeing her genuine joy, Grandpa Qin’s mood became both complicated and gratified.

Just as Zhouzhou finished making a bottle of Antidote Pills, Mu Xuan arrived. She casually put the porcelain bottle into her bag and quickly ran out, saying, “I’m here.”

As soon as she saw Mu Xuan, she couldn’t help but show off, “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, my grandpa bought me a house full of ginseng. I’ll take you to see it!”

Without hesitation, she pulled him and ran towards the alchemy room.

Even though Mu Xuan was somewhat prepared when she mentioned it, he was still surprised to see the ginseng all over the floor.

“So much?”

“Yeah, yeah, my grandpa is so good to me. He even said to tell him anything I need in the future.” Zhouzhou’s eyes curved like a crescent moon, and if she had a tail, it would have wagged wildly by now.

Seeing her unabashed happiness, Mu Xuan’s mood became both complex and somewhat relieved.

Complications arose from the fact that the little junior sister had someone as important to her as they did. But the relief came from the fact that Zhouzhou finally had a family of her own.

Back when they were on the mountain, although she didn’t say it, they could still sense it. Every time their parents came to visit or brought gifts, she would feel envious.

But now, she didn’t have to envy anyone anymore. She had such good family members of her own.

Thinking about this, the slight emotions that had stirred in Mu Xuan’s heart subsided. As long as Zhouzhou was happy, it was enough.

“Let’s go, let’s visit Senior Martial Uncle Tang first, and we’ll make the medicine when we come back.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou nodded eagerly.

Today, it was the Qin family’s bodyguards who escorted them. When they left, Grandpa Qin said that if anyone dared to bully Zhouzhou, they should be beaten back, and if there was any trouble, he would handle it.

Mu Xuan originally thought that he was overthinking, as Senior Martial Uncle Tang was the head of the Ninth Bureau, and they were his junior martial nephews. Who would dare to bully them?

But he didn’t expect that as soon as they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by someone.

Mu Xuan’s brows furrowed, and he said, “We are from the Sanqing Temple. We heard that Senior Martial Uncle Tang is ill, so we came to visit him.”

The gatekeeper said, “Since you know our director is sick, you shouldn’t disturb him. He is currently resting and not convenient to see guests. You should leave.”

He raised his chin, looking difficult to deal with, and his tone was extremely cold and harsh.

Mu Xuan’s expression immediately turned solemn, and even Zhouzhou sensed that something was wrong.

This didn’t seem like an inconvenience to see guests; it seemed more like he intentionally blocked them from meeting.

Narrowing her eyes, Zhouzhou was about to kick the person away when Mu Xuan suddenly squeezed her hand, signaling her not to act yet.

Understanding his meaning, Zhouzhou had no choice but to hold back. She tightly pressed one hand against her thigh, afraid that if she couldn’t control herself, she would beat the person up.

She had to listen to her Eldest Senior Brother.

Mu Xuan didn’t argue with the gatekeeper. He nodded and said, “Then we will leave first and come back when Senior Martial Uncle is better.”

But it seemed like he might not get better.

The gatekeeper sneered disdainfully, showing no flattery just because they were the director’s martial nephews. On the contrary, his attitude became even worse.

Seeing this, Mu Xuan’s heart sank. He was afraid that Senior Martial Uncle Tang’s condition was worse than he had imagined.

He pursed his lips and walked away with Zhouzhou.

As they were about to leave, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but ask, “Eldest Senior Brother, are we just leaving like this without seeing Senior Martial Uncle Tang?”

“Of course not. Since we’ve come, we won’t leave without seeing him.” Mu Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything. He led her in a direction, and soon they stood in front of a wall. He explained, “This is the back entrance of the Ninth Bureau. There are not many people here. We’ll enter from here.”

So that’s how it is.

Zhouzhou brightened up. “Great!”

The bodyguard didn’t follow them in. He drove the car out of the Ninth Bureau’s line of sight, giving the impression that they had actually left.

At this moment, the two held hands and easily climbed over the wall. They scanned their surroundings with a glance.

Sure enough, the backyard was eerily silent.

Mu Xuan had prepared for this in advance, just in case. He took out a map of the Ninth Bureau and quickly avoided the crowds, leading Zhouzhou to a courtyard.

He was about to move forward when Zhouzhou suddenly grabbed his hand, her gaze alert as she looked around. She lowered her voice and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, there’s something here.”

Hearing this, Mu Xuan was taken aback. He looked carefully and indeed saw a formation set up in the courtyard. If he had taken one more step forward, it would have triggered an attack.

And this formation was one that trapped people inside but didn’t allow them to leave.

This was not protection, but clearly imprisonment!
