Chapter 917 - Medicine Fields

"What's your name?" The disciple asked Yuan after a moment of silence.

"I won't stay here for long, so you don't need to know it." Yuan calmly responded.

'This bastard's asking for it!' The disciple found Yuan's presence to be even more obnoxious after his response.

Sensing the sudden tension in the air, Wang Xiuying quickly interrupted, "Anyways, tell the elders that I won't be able to complete my weekly quota this week because I will be busy with something else. Sorry you came all this way for nothing."

"I-It's fine. Most people don't even get to see you because you're always holed up in your room. I am already satisfied with seeing your beautiful face this early in the morning, Senior Sister Wang."

"By the way, my Master wanted to ask if you'll be joining the annual competition between Core Disciples tomorrow."

"I'll be there, but I won't be participating, so I'll only be a spectator."

"That's good enough. As long as Senior Sister Wang is there, I will be content. Then I will see you tomorrow." The disciple bowed to her before turning around and walking away.

Of course, he made sure to turn around to look at them, or more specifically, Yuan's face, one last time before disappearing from their sights completely.

"Who was that? Your servant?" Yuan asked afterward.

"No, he's Disciple Gu, a Core Disciple studying under Elder Cang, who is the Sect Master's right-hand man. He's the second most talented disciple in the entire sect. Apparently, he's from a very prestigious family."

"The title of number one disciple in the sect belongs to me, of course!" Wang Xiuying laughed out loud.

'Surnamed Gu, huh? Why do I keep encountering them?' A mysterious smile appeared on Yuan's face.

"Having the second most talented disciple in the sect carry out such a mundane task… He must either be really bored or have too much free time." He said.

"I heard that he'd personally requested to deliver my weekly quota. I don't know the details, but I don't really care either. Anyways, let's visit the medicine field in my yard first. It's the closest and has the most valuable herbs growing."

"Sure."

Yuan followed Wang Xiuying to her backyard, where she started showing him all of the plants that she'd personally grown.

"How long do they usually take to grow? It hasn't been that long since you joined, right?" Yuan asked.

"Most herbs here take less than a month to grow, but if you leave it for longer, the herbs will have a stronger effect, but it will take years, so we usually harvest them after a month. There is actually a secret garden somewhere in this sect with plants that have been growing for hundreds and even thousands of years! I asked to see it before, but I was told that only the Sect Master is allowed to visit the place for security reasons."

Sometime later, they went to the medicine field at the bottom of the hill, which was at least a hundred times larger than the one in her backyard.

"You planted all of these, too?" Yuan was impressed.
