Chapter 198 In Groups

Mo Changfeng reluctantly glanced at his two friends. Of course, he knew that the things that Murong Xue sent him were not simple stuff. The 1,000-year-old ginseng last time was simply superb. He could tell it was a treasure. He only took a little bit of it, and his body was obviously getting stronger. Even his gray hair also began to turn black. That ginseng could simply be considered a magical product.

Because that ginseng absorbed the spiritual qi of the Space and was watered with spiritual water, it was certain that the effect was tremendous.

Since his two friends said so, it would be even more strange if he didn't open it. Mo Changfeng slowly opened the jade box reluctantly, and a fragrance wafted out in an instant, which made people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Even Mo Changfeng couldn't help but stare in shock at the one-thousand-year-old Saussurea lying in the jade box and radiating a glow. It was so beautiful that he stared blankly at it for a while.

Mr. Chu and Mr. Qin knew that it was a treasure the moment they smelt the fragrance, and they leaned over to have a look.

Mo Liufeng was fine because in his eyes, Murong Xue was much more beautiful than that.

"This... This seems to be the one-thousand-year-old Saussurea. And it's still alive?" Mr. Chu said in surprise. There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

With a pop, Mo Changfeng closed the jade box and impatiently glanced at his two friends who wanted to reach out and touch the Saussurea.

"What are you doing? I haven't seen it clearly yet." Mr. Chu looked at Mo Changfeng with dissatisfaction.

Mo Changfeng glared at him. "This is my gift. Why do you need to see it so clearly? Besides, the aroma is so strong. Don't you see everyone around us coming here?"

Mr. Qin and Mr. Chu also looked around, and there were indeed many people coming over. Although the Mo Family was powerful, it was better not to cause trouble.

"In this case, Old Mo, you might as well lend me to appreciate it for two days, and I will return you after watching it!" Mr. Chu looked at the jade box and his eyes lit up.

Mo Changfeng was speechless. What kind of friend was this? He was simply a rogue. Mo Changfeng knew that he would never give it back if he borrowed it, so Mo Changfeng held the box tightly again. "Don't even think about it. Dream on!"

Mr. Chu also knew that it was unlikely that he would be able to get it from Mo Changfeng, and then he came up with an idea. He walked towards Murong Xue in an instant with his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Xue, where did you get this thing? Do you have more? I can exchange something else for it, jewelry or anything."

Mr. Qin also looked at Murong Xue with eagerness. People like them who had a great fortune and got old were looking for this kind of medicine that could help them prolong life now.

Murong Xue could only say apologetically, "No, the one I gave Grandpa Mo was also obtained by accident. Next time, if there is any, I will definitely tell you, Mr. Chu!" She didn't dare to take out too many priceless treasures like this. It was easy to get herself into trouble.

Mr. Chu said with a bit of disappointment, "Yeah, it's not easy to see such a priceless treasure."

Mr. Qin also withdrew his probing gaze. But he now thought highly of Murong Xue. She was actually willing to send people such a treasure without any reluctance. She was truly generous.

Mo Changfeng couldn't be happier and then asked Murong Xue, "Is this Saussurea alive? How can I plant it?"

"You can just plant it like a normal flower!" Murong Xue replied. In fact, she didn't know. She simply placed it in the Space and watered it occasionally.

"How can I do that? This is the one-thousand-year-old Saussurea!" Mo Changfeng was going to invite some experts to come over to have a look. It seemed that Murong Xue didn't know, either. She just found it by accident. She didn't plant it herself, so it was normal that she didn't understand.

The one-thousand-year-old Saussurea was still a Saussurea. There were still a bunch of them in her Space.

"I know an herbal expert. Let me introduce you to him!" Mr. Qin said.

Mr. Chu stroked his chin and said, "I think you should invite a crop expert!"

Mo Changfeng also nodded solemnly.

Murong Xue couldn't help laughing. In fact, it was fine that he planted it casually.

After that, Murong Xue chatted with them for a while and then went to find Mo Aili.

Murong Xue walked up to the second floor under the lead of the servant.

"Aili!" As soon as Murong Xue opened the door, she saw Mo Aili who was still doing her makeup. There were several beauticians standing beside her. They were still working.

"Xue, you're here! I'm sorry. I wanted to wait for you at the door, but I've already told my brother. Did he go to get you?" Mo Aili turned around in excitement when she saw Murong Xue and said.

"Please don't move, miss!" said the beautician.

Mo Aili stuck out her tongue at Murong Xue and then sat back upright, which made Murong Xue burst into laughter. This was the first time she had seen Mo Aili dress up.

With a delicately tailored white gown and curly hair that had been carefully groomed, Mo Aili looked less carefree than usual and had a little more feminine and lovelier vibe.

Murong Xue nodded in satisfaction and had to admire the beautician's selection. It truly suited Mo Aili.

She came over to check on Mo Aili and was ready to go downstairs. Because Mo Aili needed to go downstairs with Grandpa Mo later, it wouldn’t be convenient if she stayed here. "Aili, you are so beautiful today! I'll go downstairs first, and we'll talk later!"

After going downstairs, Murong Xue looked around and finally saw Liu Huali in a place of the banquet hall. She didn't go over. She saw Liu Huali and a young man of the same age chatting happily. She breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Huali seemed fine.

She took a glass of red wine and walked to the balcony of the hall. She wanted to have some time alone.

The breeze was comfortable, and it felt slightly cool. She looked at the starry sky, took a small sip of the red wine in the glass, and felt the coolness of the wine.

She didn't know why she felt lonely. After seeing Huangfu Yi yesterday, she seemed to have lost her pursuit. When another woman appeared by his side, did she still need to find him again? She was so confused that she couldn't think straight.

"Why are you here alone?" A deep male voice sounded.

Murong Xue turned her head and saw Shangguan Mo. Her hands trembled. "Nothing. I just want to get some fresh air." She looked at the sky again and took a sip of wine. She didn't expect them to have a calm conversation like this.

Shangguan Mo frowned. "Don't drink so much wine." He reached out and took her glass. Regardless of her look of surprise, he drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

Murong Xue was stunned and said with a dazed expression, "That... That's my wine..."

"So what?" Shangguan Mo gave her a sideways glance.

Murong Xue was suddenly dumbfounded. They already made a deal before, but what did Shangguan Mo mean by doing this?

"You don't have to look so amazed. I just want to have a drink, too." Shangguan Mo said in a flat tone.

Murong Xue's mouth twitched slightly. Even if he wanted to drink, wasn't there a lot of wine in the hall? Why did he have to take her wine? Besides, he just drank it from the spot where the mark of her lipstick was.

"Mo, why did you come here?" Bai Xueli flung herself into Shangguan Mo's arms and hugged him affectionately. She also gave Murong Xue a look as if she had been flaunting.

Murong Xue sighed in her heart. She couldn't even enjoy a moment of quietness even if she wanted.

Shangguan Mo stroked Bai Xueli's hair and said softly, "Where's your friend? Are you done talking?"

"They're still in the hall. You suddenly disappeared, so I'm in no mood for talking."

"Didn't I tell you..."

Murong Xue turned and walked towards the banquet hall. She could still hear the voices of the two of them whispering to each other from behind. She must have overthought Shangguan Mo's actions just now. Now he and Bai Xueli were in better condition than she imagined. But that was right. After all, the two of them were husband and wife in their previous life.

She couldn't tell what she felt, so she found a corner and sat down. When the waiter passed by, she held a glass of red wine.

The people around were talking in groups. She could hear their laughter from time to time. They all had company, making her look much lonelier while she was sitting alone.

In the base of Loong Pavilion, the guards of the Loong Pavilion met Mr. Dragon, who was hard to be seen in the past, countless times today. At first, they thought that Mr. Dragon needed them to do something. However, when they stepped forward to ask, they were inexplicably told off. Gradually, they didn't bother to ask anymore while seeing Mr. Dragon walking around there.

He was indeed Mr. Dragon. The things he did were also unpredictable. Obviously, the captain's office was there, but he didn't go in. According to their foolish speculation, they assumed that Mr. Dragon must do this to deter the captain. Hence, the captains were more diligent than ever. There was an intense atmosphere as if they had been about to go to war.

The guards walking on the road looked at Mr. Dragon more respectfully.

Why did she not take this road today? It was obvious that she took that road yesterday. From morning until afternoon, he walked countless times there, and he never met her once.

Huangfu Yi became more and more impatient while he was walking, and the slightly loud footsteps frightened the captains in the conference room, which caused them to hold their breaths and bury themselves in work. They were eager to finish the work in a second, for fear that Mr. Dragon would break into the conference room to check their work.

Unknowingly, they inexplicably completed a pile of work quickly today. It was obviously a little bit cold today, but each captain's back got sweaty.
