CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 75: SUPREME BEAUTY LIQUID

Feng Xing was just about to persuade Xiao Xian not to agree when Xiao Xian blurted out: "Okay."

Two cultivators glared at each other, sparking a tense and fiery exchange.

After everyone left, the class still continued. After all the students had left, Mei Nian picked up the cardamom branch that Xiao Xian had cut off with a single stroke.

She indeed eradicated the disease, the smooth cut showing no signs of infection.

Without using any chemicals, a clean cut removed all the diseased branches, not a bit more or less needed.

This cardamom could be replanted, and by this time next year, it will be a tree full of beauty again.

Could Bai Juyi really have trained such a good disciple? Or did Mei Xiang leave something for them? No need to rush, everything will become clear tonight.

After leaving the police station, Zhuo Feng was still indignant, and became even more reluctant upon hearing that Xiao Xian was going to meet Mei Nian alone.

"No way, absolutely not. Look at auntie’s face, that woman is not only sly but also eerie. When I fought her that day, I definitely slapped her several times, but when the police arrived, all the injuries were on me, and she looked like nothing had happened to her. Plus, the swelling from the slapped cheek hasn’t subsided even now." Zhuo Feng was referring to her left cheek.

During the more than a week she was detained, Zhuo Feng secretly had Feng Xing bring iced coffee and cooked eggs every day to apply on her face, but the swelling just wouldn’t go down.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I won’t have any problems. If you’re really worried, just escort me there, but for the sake of that Daffodil, you have to wait outside," Xiao Xian touched Zhuo Feng’s cheek, feeling a shiver in her heart.

Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Zhuo Feng simply ate her meal, and then she and Feng Xing took Xiao Xian to the place called Mei Garden.

Mei Garden is a private property of the Mei Family, located in the north suburb of Beijing.

The garden is not big, just about two acres, but it truly lives up to the saying that a small sparrow also has all the vital parts. Inside, there are a whole patch of plum trees and a pavilion for flower appreciation, along with one or two wing rooms styled after the Late Qing era.

Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing’s car stopped at the entrance to Mei Garden. After Xiao Xian got out, Zhuo Feng couldn’t help but reiterate her advice, saying if anything happens, to shout for help loudly.

"Auntie, don’t worry about it, I brought weapons for self-defense?" Xiao Xian deliberately emphasized the word ’weapons’ loudly, then gestured with the dark scissors. Zhuo Feng became silent, fearing that any more talk might provoke Xiao Xian to impulsively take action against her.

The guardian of Mei Garden is an old man with a stooped back. After Xiao Xian explained his purpose, the old man squeaked and creaked for a while, pointing at his ears and mouth, indicating that he was a deaf-mute.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian could only find her way into Mei Garden by herself.

The garden, which looks small from the outside, has a rather exquisite layout inside; beyond the pavilion for flower admiration, there are dozens of plum trees.

This season, the plum trees were covered in green leaves, long gone was the charming scenery of white and red plums competing in beauty, looking no different from usual deciduous trees.

"You are indeed punctual. I won’t beat around the bush, give me the Meteor Crystal, and I’ll return that Daffodil to you," the voice came from the pavilion. Mei Nian sat on a stone bench, playing with a few plum tree leaves in her hand.

"Meteor Crystal? Okay, but first you need to give me the antidote for the poison powder used on my aunt’s face," When Xiao Xian examined Zhuo Feng’s face, she found that the reason for the swelling was not due to bruising but because of a mix of Nettle and another unknown drug. Nettle made her face itchy and painful, while the unknown drug caused skin allergy and swelling.

Xiao Xian had seen similar powders used before; the Red Locust Great Wizard had used these powders to punish poachers. A light dose only caused facial swelling for a few days, but a heavy dose could make the victim scratch their wounds until they became ulcerated.

Zhuo Feng and Mei Nian had only met once or twice; where did such deep hatred come from.

"Oh, you actually noticed, Nettle and Earth Gall," Mei Nian said calmly, not at all embarrassed by being exposed. The plum tree leaves in her hands twirled in her palm.

Behind her, the plum tree rustled with the blowing wind, and a leaf fell off.

The leaf happened to land on Xiao Xian’s arm, leading to a sharp pain and a cut opening up on the arm.
