Looking at Tan Xu’s smiling face, Su Muxue blushed. “You’re laughing at me.”

“Haha, I’m not laughing at you. It’s not easy for a young lady to have the same life goals as an old man like me.” Tan Xu looked at the scenery in the yard and pointed in all directions. “I erected all of these because I liked them. But Xinshu, that girl, has too many things on her mind. No matter what she does, she’s skillful, but she lacks a lot of feelings!”

Su Muxue thought of something. “You’re saying…”

“You’ve heard the songs she wrote, but how many of them could she have understood at her age? She was the one who requested to come to me. I’ve asked her many times, but she always avoids me. Forget it, children have their own path. I won’t interfere with them.”

Su Muxue had heard of Tan Xinhan’s songs before. In a place where music didn’t develop in such a grand manner, the songs that she produced could be regarded as godly works. However, these godly works weren’t written by Tan Xinhan herself.

“We’re here. This is my herb garden.”

As soon as the door was opened, Su Muxue saw a lush scene. The fragrance of herbs assailed her nostrils, making her feel refreshed.

As Tan Xu walked, he introduced the herbs to Su Muxue. When he reached the middle, he stopped and picked up a flower pot. There was a herb inside the flower pot, but it looked wilted and not very lively.

“This is the same kind of herb you’re wearing around your neck. At that time, I went up the mountain and picked five of them. I thought that they would easily survive, so I made four of them into dry herbs. But I didn’t expect this one to be half dead. I guess they can’t live when they leave their kind, so I’m giving this one to you.” Tan Xu said and stuffed it into Su Muxue’s hands.

“Huh?” Su Muxue took out the dried herb on her neck and looked at it. If they were indeed living, wouldn’t the one on her neck be a corpse already?

Was it really good to live with corpses of the same kind?

“This is too expensive, Mr. Tan.” Su Muxue refused without thinking. These were herbs personally picked by Old Master Tan. The original value of the herbs aside, just saying that these herbs were personally picked by Old Master Tan would already make the herbs highly valued.

Not to mention that there were only five herbs in total!

“Aiya, I’ve already given it to you. Don’t reject me.” After Tan Xu stuffed the flower pot to her, he directly walked to a corner and worried about the herbs there. When she heard that, she casually accepted it.

Seeing that, Su Muxue also walked over.

Su Muxue looked thoughtful. “Is there something under your root that’s causing this?”

“Hm?” Tan turned to look at her. “Why do you say that?”

Su Muxue shook her head. “I don’t know. That’s just how I feel.”

After pondering for a while, Tan Xu got a tool and just directly dug out the herb in front of Su Muxue!

If the other members of the Tan family were present, they would definitely be shocked. The old master rarely let them enter the herbal garden, let alone these herbs that he valued more than his life!

If Su Muxue knew the value of this herb, she would not dare to say anything so rashly.

After Tan Xu shook off all the soil on the herb’s roots, the two of them saw with their own eyes that there was a plump little worm at the intersection of the whisker-like roots!

“Wow! I’ve been searching for so long, and you’re actually hiding here!”
