Chapter 283: Chapter 189: Ointment, Jade Foot!_2

…

Gu Family, Young Master Palace.

Dongfang Mingyue followed him back here and couldn’t help but look around.

Seeing where he lived, she couldn’t help but remark, “This Young Master Palace of yours, why does it feel like the most luxurious building within the Gu Family Mansion?”

“Shouldn’t the dwellings of the Family Head or the Supreme Elders be better?”

Hearing her question, all Gu Changge could do was reply helplessly, “The elders insisted on building it; previously, this Young Master was just living in a randomly picked residence within the Inner Court.”

Dongfang Mingyue nodded slightly.

But she quickly understood.

Given the strength and talent he had shown, it made sense that the Gu Family would treasure him.

If he felt discontented and lost his closeness to the family, that would be an unacceptable loss for the Gu Family…

“Did you hide your Root Bone?”

Dongfang Mingyue couldn’t help but ask the question which was weighing on her mind as she watched him search for the appropriate Elixir.

“I did conceal some of it,” Gu Changge nonchalantly replied, continuing to search the shelves of the Young Master Palace for an Elixir Bottle.

Speaking of which, the Young Master Palace had no shortage of anything.

The elders had not only prepared several wooden shelves filled with Elixirs for him but had even set aside a room almost packed with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Spirit Stones.

So much so that he didn’t need to visit the family’s Treasure Vault, he could find everything he needed right here.

Soon, he found the Elixir and casually handed it to Dongfang Mingyue, “Take one orally, another turn to powder and apply externally, and your wounds will heal quickly without leaving any scars.”

“Thank you…”

Dongfang Mingyue took the Jade Bottle. This trip to the Northern Domain, she really hadn’t brought much with her, not even bothering to carry ordinary Elixirs.

After all, she had sneaked away…

Faced with Gu Changge’s kindness, she didn’t refuse and accepted the Elixir with open hands.

Opening the Jade Bottle, she poured out two Elixirs and directly tossed one into her mouth to swallow.

She didn’t even look to see what kind of Elixir it was; she trusted that someone with Gu Changge’s caliber of talent wouldn’t stoop to petty tricks to harm her.

Moreover… she had now lost herself to him.

There would be no reason for him to harbor ill intentions.

Following Gu Changge’s instructions, she then turned the other Elixir into powder using her Spiritual Energy and gently applied it to her wound.

It wasn’t a serious wound, just a skin injury caused by a slash of Sword Qi.

If she used her Spiritual Energy, she could also recover, but with Elixirs, she would heal perfectly, without the slightest trace.

After she applied the ointment to both her arm and neck,

she stopped her actions and simply looked at Gu Changge without speaking.

“Uh… you can use any of these rooms, just pick any,” Gu Changge said, noticing she needed more privacy to apply the medicine and promptly pointed towards those rooms.

It so happened that since they had only just moved to the Young Master Palace, Qingqing and the others hadn’t had the chance to pick rooms yet; they were all vacant.

“You won’t peek, will you?”

Dongfang Mingyue headed towards one room but suddenly turned her head to throw the question at him without any particular reason.

“Definitely not,” Gu Changge nodded decisively, indicating he wasn’t that kind of person.

“…”

“Hmph.”

Dongfang Mingyue fell silent for a moment before snorting coldly and entering the room.

This left Gu Changge somewhat perplexed.

Was there something about his answer that had displeased her?

The heart of a woman is like a needle at the bottom of the sea…

Should he sneak a peek then?

Better not…

“But why haven’t the wives returned yet?”

“Uh… it couldn’t be intentional, could it?”

Gu Changge suddenly frowned upon realizing an issue. He had been back for half a day, and by rights, the wives should have arrived by now, even if they were slow.

Yet, there was still no sign of them.

Perhaps…

They were providing him an opportunity to be alone.

How thoughtful!

Indeed, as he guessed!

At this moment, the three women had returned to the courtyard from earlier.

Yuan Youbai still somewhat perplexed, asked, “Didn’t we move? Why have we come back?”

“Of course, to see if we left anything behind,” Wang Yue said with a smile, “Youbai, do you want to check if you’ve forgotten anything?”

Hearing her say this, Yuan Youbai decisively shook her head, showing her Space Ring to indicate that all her belongings were inside.

“That Miss Dongfang came to the Gu Family to take Youbai to Central State.”

“Right now, she might just be negotiating with Lord Jun about how to take you away.”

“So better stay put here.”

Wang Yue saw her excuses weren’t working, so she quickly spun another story.

“She can’t. Lord Jun definitely won’t agree.”

“Also.”

“Didn’t she also lose to Lord Jun? She’ll have to be his wife in the future.”

“How could she take Youbai back to Central State?”

Yuan Youbai decisively shook her head again, showing no concern.

Seeing this, Wang Yue suddenly paused.

That’s not right, why does this youngster seem to have grown significantly smarter?

Previously, if they scared her by claiming something about Lord Jun, she would be frightened and anxiously ask if it was true.

But now, things had changed.

“Be good and cultivate here for the day, and we’ll return to the new home tomorrow.”

Liu Qingqing also noticed that her Spirit Intelligence seemed much higher, but she didn’t want to concoct any more excuses, so she simply spoke up.

“Oh!”

Yuan Youbai nodded sensibly after hearing this.

Why didn’t you say so earlier?!

Scaring me when I’m clever now!

…

Young Master Palace, inside a room.

Dongfang Mingyue stood in front of a bronze mirror, casually removing the Strong Clothes from her upper body, leaving only the white cloth wrapped around her chest.

She carefully applied the powder made from the Elixir to her wounds.

The slight stinging sensation made her frown slightly.
