Chapter 1494: Love Rivals Meet, Exchange Moves 7
On this day, Feng Tianlan sat in the courtyard, writing down the medicinal ingredients for the recovery pill. She was also studying how to achieve a 100% success rate.
“Miss, Rong Le is outside and wants to see you.” Lapis Lazuli came in to report.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the sundrops that she had just written down. She thought about how Rong Le had been persistent in wanting to see Mobai for the past few days, but she had been repeatedly rejected. And today, she had deliberately come while she was here.
“Let her in.” Feng Tianlan put down her brush and did not put away the paper. This was just the right time to probe Rong Le.
These past few days, she and Lapis Lazuli had been out looking for sundrops. Unfortunately, they had not found any.
Not long after, Lapis Lazuli led Rong Le in. Even though Lapis Lazuli was only a servant girl, her every move and every movement by Rong Le’s side was as elegant as a noble.
That was why Rong Le’s face was gloomy. Not only did she lose to Feng Tianlan, but she also lost to a servant girl. Just thinking about it made her angry.
“Miss Rong.” Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at Rong Le, who was dressed in tight clothes today. She looked even more heroic and lacked the gentleness of a woman.
Rong Le was standing. She looked at her with a condescending and disdainful gaze. She thought that doing so would make her seem superior to others. However, her aura could never catch up to the calm and composed Feng Tianlan, who did not need to pretend to have the aura of a king.
Her act made her seem like a clown.
Thinking about it, Rong Le felt that her actions were a little ridiculous. She even felt a little embarrassed. However, she had to pretend that she didn’t care. She sat down, looked around, and asked, “Where is he?”
Si Mobai didn’t allow her to call him Mobai. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let her get away with it. She had her own dignity, so of course, she didn’t rush to embarrass herself.
“Mobai is in the kitchen. If you want to find him, you’ll have to wait for a while.” Although Feng Tianlan’s voice was indifferent, it was somewhat polite, because a guest was a guest.
Rong Le’s lips twitched. She couldn’t do anything about this kind of master-like declaration, because the person who was staying by Si Mobai’s side wasn’t her, so Feng Tianlan had the right to do so!
“There’s no rush. I can just talk to you first.” Rong Le sat with her back straight, as if she was facing a great enemy.
Feng Tianlan did not take it to heart. She asked Lapis Lazuli to serve her tea. She did not say anything and only sipped her tea slowly.
Rong Le felt her fighting spirit weaken, making her even more aggrieved. She gritted her teeth and looked up at the paper in Feng Tianlan’s hand. She did not recognize some of the herbs, but the last three words.. were very familiar.
“Miss Feng, you want the sundrops.” Although it was a question, her tone was very sure.
“Yes, sundrops only appears once every thousand years, and it needs to be nurtured. It’s very rare.” Feng Tianlan looked up at Rong Le. “You have a good understanding of herbs.”
Rong Le was so sure that she must have investigated her. Before she came to find Mobai, she had wanted to refine a recovery pill to make her name known and let Mobai come to find her instead. At that time, she put a bounty on him in the mercenary group.
It was not difficult to know about this matter because she had never hidden it.
“I know nothing about herbs.” She was only familiar with sundrops.
However, since Feng Tianlan wanted the sundrops so much, she could use the sundrops to negotiate some conditions and get what both parties wanted. It was a win-win situation.
