"It seems we still have to take our time in the search."
Having found a relatively flat spot, Mo Xixuan immediately jumped off her flying sword.
Upon landing, he immediately headed towards the Chen family's courtyard.
Moxi did not use her divine sense to scan the entire Changqing Mountain. However, she could still sense where the spiritual energy was more concentrated.
Since she was looking for an eight-tailed spirit fox, she could not go wrong by looking in the direction where spiritual energy was abundant.
Soon after, Meixi arrived safely at the gate of the Chen family's courtyard.
Moxi's gaze lingered for a moment on the plaque above the courtyard gate that read "Free Medical Consultation." Listening to the occasional sounds of "bang," "eat," and "kong" coming from inside the courtyard, Moxi, with a mixture of doubt and curiosity, gently knocked on the gate.
"They're here—"
Before long, a slightly cold voice came from the courtyard.
The courtyard gate was pushed out from inside the courtyard.
Ruyi, dressed in a white dress, immediately caught Moxi's eye.
That cool and aloof temperament, like an iceberg snow lotus, made Moxi feel a sense of wonder.
While Moxi was sizing up Ruyi, Ruyi was also sizing her up.
To be honest, during the time I was with Chen Yuze, I saw quite a few beautiful women.
But like the confident and proud woman before me...
This was the first time I had ever seen such a shape as Ruyi.
Her fiery red outfit, in particular, perfectly showcased her confidence and flamboyance.
It wasn't until quite a while later that Ruyi, having regained her senses, looked up and asked:
"Who are you, young lady?"
Remembering the plaque she had seen outside the door earlier, Moxi smiled inwardly, then parted her lips slightly and said:
"They've come for a medical consultation."
"See a doctor?"
Looking Moxi up and down, Ruyi couldn't discern any illness in the woman, but she still politely said:
"Unfortunately, Doctor Chen went into the mountains to collect herbs today, and we don't know when he will be back. Why don't you come again tomorrow, young lady?"
After saying that, without waiting for Moxi to react, Ruyi slammed the courtyard gate shut again.
Of course, this is not Ruyi targeting Moxi.
However, she still remained somewhat wary of a beautiful woman like Moxi.
Outside the courtyard wall, looking at the tightly closed door, Mo happy was stunned.
She clearly hadn't expected that she, the dignified Empress of Tushan, would be turned away at such a small place as Changqing Mountain.
Moreover, they were completely unceremonious.
However, Mo happy was not angry about it.
As the Empress of Tushan, she still possessed the magnanimity one would expect.
In addition, Ruyi's reaction just now really made Meixi extremely interested in the Doctor Chen she mentioned.
Coincidentally, just as Moxi was pondering who this Doctor Chen was, Chen Yuze also happened to return to his small courtyard with his bamboo basket on his back.
After all, there were four mouths to feed at home waiting for him to prepare lunch, so Chen Yuze naturally had to come home early.
Moreover, Chen Yuze had a very fruitful trip. Not only did he gather the herbs he wanted, but he also caught two pheasants on the way back, which would be perfect for making chicken soup for the girls.
But as soon as Chen Yuze arrived outside the courtyard, he saw the fiery red figure blocking the entrance.
"Ok?"
Sensing the footsteps behind her, Moxi turned around.
This one glance, however, caused the proud Empress of Tushan to skip a beat.
Having sat on the throne of the Empress for a thousand years, Moxi boasted that she had long since seen all the different kinds of men in the world.
Unexpectedly, in this remote Changqing Mountain, there was a young man with such an otherworldly temperament and such a handsome appearance.
Even the most talented writers of our time would probably not be able to capture even a fraction of this young master's brilliance.
No one in this world dislikes beautiful things. Mo Xi is no exception.
However, although she was happy inside, her affection for the young man in front of her was only limited to admiration.
Please, surely no one would actually give themselves away at first glance just because of your stunning good looks, right?
That would be far too lame.
"Young master, Doctor Chen is not here today. If you came here for a consultation, you may have made a wasted trip."
She reminded Chen Yuze, who had just arrived, that Moxi never hesitated to express her goodwill to those she admired.
"Um... young lady, are you here for a consultation too?"
To be honest, even Chen Yuze, who is surrounded by beauties every day, couldn't help but take a second look at Moxi when he first met her.
She appears so flamboyant, yet it all seems so natural, as if she was born to be this way.
Coupled with the kindness she showed, it's really hard not to leave a deep first impression.
"Yes and no." Recalling the scene of being turned away, Moxi nodded with a wry smile:
"I originally came to Changqing Mountain to look for someone. I just happened to pass by this place and saw the sign for free medical consultation, so I thought I'd go in and take a look. Unfortunately, the doctor in this house happened to be out in the mountains collecting herbs today, and the people in the house told me to come back tomorrow."
"Then, young lady, please come inside with me."
After knocking on the door, Chen Yuze explained with a hint of apology:
"I am the doctor who went into the mountains to gather herbs, as you mentioned. As for asking you to come back tomorrow, it must be my young lady. These girls are usually spoiled by me, so they may be a little immature. I hope that once you come inside, you won't take offense at them."
122. The Empress and the Empress
As Chen Yuze brought Moxi back to the villa, the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became tense.
It wasn't because Ruyi had just turned her away a second ago, and Chen Yuze brought her in the next second.
After all, as long as Ruyi doesn't feel awkward, it's Moxi who will feel awkward.
The real reason why the atmosphere in the courtyard became so tense was that as soon as Moxi entered the house, she immediately made eye contact with Bai Hua in front of the mahjong table.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. Although Mo Xi and Bai Hua are far from being mutually hostile, these two empresses have been competing with each other for over a thousand years. Getting them to coexist peacefully is no less difficult than getting a cat to change its habit of being mischievous.
Even though neither Moxi nor Baihua used their demonic power, the mere sight of their eyes meeting already created a sense of rivalry.
If you let them get any closer, they might start wrestling and putting on a big hair-pulling show.
"You two acknowledge"
knowledge?"
With a strange look in his eyes, Chen Yuze shifted his gaze between Bai Hua and Mo Xi. Sensing the tension between the two women, he suddenly remembered his experience as a veterinarian in his previous life.
Good heavens, isn't this just two wild animals fighting over territory?
"Hmph, I don't know any woman who is so despicable."
With a cold snort, Bai Hua ultimately refrained from making a move, considering Chen Yuze's presence.
But when Moxi saw this, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Connecting this to what she had found out earlier under the acacia tree, following the red line drawn by Bai, a meaningful look immediately appeared on Moxi's face.
You, Bai Hua, are actually willing to stay in this little Changqing Mountain for a man!
and……
Looking at the other girls at the mahjong table, Moxi's smile deepened even more.
Bai Hua, so what if you evolved into a nine-tailed fox before me? In the end, you still have to condescend to stay in this remote mountain forest, sharing a husband with other women.
This is absolutely hilarious!
However, Chen Yuze didn't take the tense atmosphere between Bai Hua and Mo Xi too seriously.
Instead, he sat down at the stone table and poured himself a cup of still-warm Longquan tea.
Seeing Chen Yuze like this, Ruyi immediately frowned:
"Chen Yuze, how can you still be in the mood to drink tea here? Can't you tell that the woman in red and gold is no ordinary person?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuze simply replied calmly, "Of course I can tell she's not simple, and I guess... this girl in red must be the Empress of Tushan, right?"
After all, who else could match the woman who leads Tushan, besides the one who possesses such beauty and temperament and can rival Bai Hua without being at a disadvantage?
"The Empress of Tushan!?"
Ruyi couldn't help but gasp.
Even Chi Lian, standing to the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment:
"Hey, Master, since you know she's the Empress of Tushan, why did you bring her in? Tushan and Qingqiu have been at odds for a long time, haven't they?"
In response, Chen Yuze took a sip of tea and explained with a wry smile:
"I only just figured out who she was! Besides, she said she came for a consultation, so as a doctor, I can't just kick her out, can I?"
"So what do we do now?" Chi Lian asked, propping her cheek up with her hand as she looked at Mo Xi, who clearly had ill intentions.
"What else can we do? We'll just have to let things take their course. Since they're already here, let's just let things take their course."
Unlike Ruyi and Chilian, who seemed nervous, Chen Yuze remained the same as before, always ready to slack off when necessary, and doing so without any hesitation.
"Furthermore, aren't you underestimating the value of the nine-tailed fox?"
As he spoke, Chen Yuze gave Bai Hua a meaningful look.
The previous Qingqiu Empress could probably only fight the Tushan Empress to a draw at best.
But now, even if we take a conservative estimate, it's still 80/20.
With Bai Hua keeping things in check, Chen Yuze wasn't afraid that Mo Xi could cause any trouble.
On the other hand, Moxi clearly understood this principle as well.
