Chapter 582 - You Didn’t Say You’d Be Bringing HerChapter 582: You Didn’t Say You’d Be Bringing Her
After circulating her force for one Heavenly Cycle, she went to wash up before exiting her room to head to the medicinal garden alone. Despite having stayed up all night, she was in great spirits and didn’t feel sleepy at all.
The planted herbs in the garden were slowly growing and didn’t wither quickly like before.
As she carefully tended to the garden, her seniors arrived one after another. They weren’t here to see her this time but to check on the herbs. Despite the Cabinet Master’s assurance that the garden had returned to normal, they couldn’t help but feel worried. Thus, they came here to check on the herbs in the early morning.
Even Elder Xia Yi had come to check the garden. But unlike the others, he didn’t comment on it much. All he did was walk up to Chu Liuyue’s side and earnestly express his gratitude. “Thank you, Liuyue.”
Chu Liuyue blinked in confusion, but she soon realized that he must’ve learned about the Messed Yuan Gravel matter when she saw his expression. Her eyes formed crescents as she said, “There’s no need to thank me, Elder Xia Yi. I was merely doing my duties as a Chong Xu Cabinet disciple.”
“To be honest, my cultivation is on par with the Cabinet Master’s. Why didn’t you guys choose me?” He stroked his beard and then added, “Hehe. Before the two of you came, the Cabinet Master would stay up on the mountain for months in a row. But now that he has gained two new disciples, he’s always leaving the mountain…”

Only then did Chu Liuyue remember that she hadn’t seen her master around ever since he went to the Jiang residence yesterday, so she couldn’t ask him how the visit went. “He’s going down again?”
“Yeah, he just left! He should be halfway down the mountain by now.”
Elder Xia Yi shook his head. “No, he’s going to Xin Li Garden today.”
Upon seeing her look of astonishment, Elder Xia Yi explained, “He’s there to take some things. As you probably know, he used to be on close terms with the late Crown Princess. She placed quite a number of things there…”
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “Are you saying that he’s going to the zither room?”
“How did you know that?” asked Elder Xia Yi in surprise.
Pausing, Chu Liuyue said lightly, “Uh… I heard him mention it before…”
Elder Xia Yi nodded, not doubting her words in the slightest. “I see. You’re right though—he’s indeed going there. I think he intends to take those items back… He mentioned this before, but because he was afraid that he might become sad and depressed seeing those things, he thought it’d be best to just leave them there. I don’t know what made him change his mind though…”
She then immediately said goodbye to Elder Xia Yi and left in a hurry.
…
Chu Liuyue ran as fast as possible and finally caught up to Weichi Song when he was about to reach the foot of the mountain. “Master!”
Weichi Song looked back. “Liuyue? Why are you here?”
Chu Liuyue walked briskly to his side, her forehead dotted with beads of sweat. “Master, I heard from Elder Xia Yi that you’re going to Xin Li Garden today. Is that right?”
“Yes!” Weichi Song nodded. Upon noticing her hurried look, he said, “Oh right. I wanted to look for you and Wanzhou when I came back yesterday, but I didn’t want to disturb the two of you since you guys seemed to be in the middle of cultivating.”

Chu Liuyue had given Qiang Wanzhou a few more pills yesterday, so he was indeed currently trying to expel the cold qi in his body. She felt her heart squeeze when she heard what Weichi Song said. “…So… How did the visit go?”
Pausing for a short moment, Weichi Song lowered his voice and slowly said, “He concealed his aura, and his hand was injured… Although I don’t have any evidence yet, he’s likely to be the culprit.”
After much deliberation, she finally said, “Master, I’d like to follow you to Xin Li Garden.”
Weichi Song froze for a moment. He wasn’t too approving of her request. “Liuyue, I’m actually going there because—”
“I know.” Chu Liuyue looked at him firmly. “Perhaps I’ll be of help to you?”
“Master?”
Upon hearing the hint of eagerness in her voice, Weichi Song made up his mind. “Alright! I’ll take you there on the condition that you stay by my side and not rashly act when we get there.”
“Thank you, Master!” said Chu Liuyue immediately.
…
By the time Weichi Song and Chu Liuyue arrived at Xin Li Garden’s entrance, Jiang Yucheng was already there waiting for them. The latter’s brows slightly furrowed when he noticed the female following behind the elder.
Standing in front of Weichi Song, Jiang Yucheng flashed a small smile at him. “Master Weichi, I don’t think you mentioned anything about bringing an outsider with you yesterday.”
