The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2420: Keeping Accounts (4)

“Excellent!” A smile graced Qi Jingyun’s innocent face as he looked at a certain individual. Taking a deep breath, he finally nodded, “I am indebted to you for saving my life.”

Gu Qingheng acknowledged the statement with a nod. “Furthermore, that medicinal pill you received earlier was designed to strengthen and revitalize the source. I’m certain the Prince is aware that after consuming it, one can preserve their Inner Strength. These invaluable pills are quite affordable at ten thousand taels each. You still require another one presently to solidify its effects. In addition, you’ll need a pill to mend internal injuries and accelerate the healing of external wounds; these are also priced at ten thousand taels apiece…”

“I will purchase them, but I currently lack the funds,” Qi Jingyun replied, closing his eyes momentarily, a wave of hopelessness washing over him.

“If you are short on money, you can put it on your account first,” Gu Qingheng stated seriously, nodding. He then procured paper and a pen, diligently recording the transaction. He even extended the document to Qi Jingyun, “Take a look. If everything is in order, please affix your signature.” His expression remained utterly unchanged throughout this process; if an outsider were to witness this, they might mistakenly believe a matter of grave importance was being discussed.

Qi Jingyun felt a sense of numbness, cast a brief glance at the document, and then picked up the pen to sign.

“The Prince is truly a man of integrity,” Gu Qingheng finally allowed a faint smile to grace his lips as he carefully put away the receipt. “It cannot be helped; my Xinxin is pregnant. As a man, my salary is quite insufficient, so I must find ways to earn money to support our child. Here, take these medicinal pills. Consider the medicinal powder applied to your wound as a complimentary gift.”

Cough, cough… Qi Jingyun nearly choked on his own saliva, thinking this fellow was truly taking him for a fool. Damn it, even if I were to become enraged, I truly wouldn’t venture out… but that’s simply impossible!

However, Xinxin is pregnant?

As Qi Jingyun observed Gu Qingheng, he found this man increasingly exasperating.

“Are you perhaps jealous that I am about to become a father?” Gu Qingheng inquired suddenly, his gaze meeting Qi Jingyun’s. “Then be jealous. Who told you that you don’t have a wife?”

Qi Jingyun rolled his eyes. While he might not have a principal wife, he certainly had other women. Yet… after all, a sigh escaped his heart; no matter the number of women, none could compare to a Xinxin.

“Hurry and depart,” Gu Qingheng instructed, turning to walk away without another glance. “Otherwise, it will become troublesome if we are discovered. Can you walk on your own? If I am forced to carry you, we will have to discuss the charges separately…”

Having just ingested the medicinal pill, Qi Jingyun had quietly regulated his breathing. Although he was unable to engage in strenuous combat, he could manage self-preservation and escape with no issue. Thus, he bolted out the moment Gu Qingheng finished speaking.

Gu Qingheng then smiled and hurried out after him.

By this time, the evening was drawing near. As Qi Jingyun exited the cave, his eyes had already adjusted well to the dim light. However, witnessing someone desperately fleeing through the mountain hollow, pursued by a swarm of Medicinal Soldiers… alright, it must be admitted that most individuals would not conceive of such a method to divert the Medicinal Soldiers.

“Let’s make haste,” Dao Xuzi urged Gu Qingheng. “Otherwise, when the medicine’s efficacy wears off, it will cease to be effective.”

Gu Qingheng looked at Ming Guang with a measure of sympathy. Not all Medicinal Soldiers would be drawn toward someone like filings to a magnet, even when provoked. This was because Dao Xuzi had smeared some of the potent medicine onto Ming Guang’s clothes when he had patted him.

“Will that senior not encounter trouble?” Qi Jingyun couldn’t help but inquire.

In truth, this was precisely the question Ran Lei also wished to pose.

“No, no,” Dao Xuzi waved his hand reassuringly. “That fellow’s Inner Strength is disturbingly potent. This stratagem will allow him to expend some of it; he ought to be grateful to this old man.”
