The girl, pushed by the spring breeze, frowned and looked at Chunfeng and Qi Zhenzhen. "Why did you push me?"
"Push you? You almost knocked over my mistress!" Chunfeng said indignantly. This person was clearly lying with her eyes open.
"Knocked over? I'm the one who fell, not your mistress. Look clearly before you speak!" The girl's tone was impatient. "Now, because you pushed me, my medicinal oil spilled. What do you say we do about it?"
Following the direction of her finger, Qi Zhenzhen saw a shattered bottle, presumably the medicinal oil the girl was referring to.
"We didn't settle the score with you, and now you're blaming us!"
The girl sneered, "Say whatever you want, but you have to compensate me for my medicinal oil."
"You..."
Qi Zhenzhen stopped Chunfeng, who was about to argue. "May I ask how the young lady wishes us to compensate you?"
"My medicinal oil is concocted from hundreds of medicinal herbs, including extremely precious ones like ginseng and purple ganoderma," the girl said slowly.
Heh, it seemed like she was trying to stage an accident for compensation.
However, smelling the faint scent of medicinal oil wafting from the ground, Qi Zhenzhen had a feeling that this medicinal oil might indeed be very precious.
So, what did this girl intend?
Observing her clear eyes, she didn't seem like someone accustomed to staging accidents. Moreover, judging by her appearance, she was also skilled in martial arts. How could such a person be knocked over by a push from Chunfeng? And if she had truly intended to knock Qi Zhenzhen down, it would have been effortless. Since she was pushed away by Chunfeng, it proved that she hadn't actually intended to knock her over.
So, what was this person's motive?
"How much silver do you think is appropriate for me to give you?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
"Silver? Do you think this can be compensated with silver?" the girl frowned.
"If not silver, then what does the young lady want?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
"Naturally, I want my medicinal oil back," the girl replied.
"But I don't know how to refine medicinal oil, so I'm afraid I can't compensate you with it," Qi Zhenzhen said with a look of difficulty.
"Then compensate me with these medicinal ingredients. I'm not unreasonable. Some of these ingredients are very rare and cannot be found immediately, so I'll give you time to search for them," the girl said. "But to prevent you from agreeing and then not searching for the herbs, I must stay by your side."
Chunfeng was dumbfounded. Had she misunderstood? This person who had almost knocked over her mistress was now determined to latch onto them?
How could someone be so shameless?
Qi Zhenzhen saw no malice in the girl's eyes, so she also wanted to know what her intentions were.
"The young lady speaks wisely. We have an empty room in our courtyard. If the young lady doesn't mind..."
"Of course, I don't mind," the girl interjected quickly. How could a room be worse than the forest? She had finally found her way here, only for the person she was looking for to not appear. She had stayed in the forest for several days. If she hadn't brought insect repellent, she would have been disfigured by insect bites by now.
"May I ask the young lady's name?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
"Bai Su."
"Miss Bai, please follow me."
Qi Zhenzhen led Bai Su back and had Erxi and Chunfeng prepare a room for her.
"Miss Bai, I have no one by my side who knows how to gather herbs, so I cannot go into the mountains to collect them. Therefore, I cannot find those ingredients for the time being," Qi Zhenzhen said.
"That's alright. We can discuss it after you go down the mountain," Bai Su waved her hand.
So, this person just wanted to come back with her?
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Bai Su had been there for three days. This person was very strange. Except for sleeping, she stayed glued to Qi Zhenzhen's side at all other times. Initially, Erxi and Chunfeng were very vigilant, fearing that Bai Su might harm Qi Zhenzhen. But she did nothing, just sat at a moderate distance, propping her chin in her hands, and watching her.
