“What do you want to buy?” His hands kept calculating on the abacus, while saying that sentence half-deadly.
Yu Lingxi, as if she hadn’t seen his half ferocious face, asked calmly: “Excuse me, do you have Nine Delicate Fragrance?”
The withered hand on the abacus paused.
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Lingxi, and said: “This is a forbidden drug. Three hundred taels, non negotiable.”
“How much?!”
Tang Buli was stunned: “What kind of broken medicinal material is this? Why is it so expensive?”
Yu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: “Deal!”
As long as she can help her father and brother escape the Northern Expedition, even if it’s more expensive than this, she is willing to pay for it.
Yu Lingxi brought out all the money she had saved when she was a teenager, took off the hairpin and bracelet, and borrowed twenty taels from Tang Buli before she could barely scrape together the money for the Nine Delicate Fragrance.
She took out the prescription folded and hidden in her sleeve, compared it and confirmed that it was all in place.
Then he wrapped the hard won Nine Delicate Fragrance together with the prescription and said with a smile: “Ah Li, tomorrow I will send someone to your house to return the money I borrowed from you today.”
Tang Buli waved her hand straightforwardly: “Hey, with the friendship between you and me, what’s the point of being polite!”
It’s such a good feeling to have someone to lean on.
Yu Lingxi’s heart warmed up, and said: “Let’s go back.”
She was full of concern for the Nine Delicate Fragrance in her arms, and when she turned to go out, she didn’t notice a black shadow staggering in.
“Oh!”
Her shoulder feels so painful from the impact. Yu Lingxi immediately let out a soft cry, then the prescription and Nine Delicate Fragrance dropped to the ground.
Tang Buli quickly supported Yu Lingxi, and glared at the young man who barged in: “Don’t you keep your eyes on the road?”
Yu Lingxi’s first reaction was to squat down to pick up the herbs, then raised her head and said: “It’s fine…”
As if her voice was choked, Yu Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes wide.
For a moment, her heart seemed to be tightly clenched, and she couldn’t breathe.
Standing in front of her was a young man in a black military uniform, the material of which could not be seen from the fabric, and the upper half of his face was covered with a blueish-black mask, revealing only the tip of his nose and thin pale lips.

He clutched the bumped chest, and when he glanced, the eyes under the hole in the mask were slightly raised, showing indifference and coldness…
With such a half face, Yu Lingxi recognized it at a glance.
Too… too similar!
Such thin lips and jawline, she can recognize it even when it turns into ashes!
The young man exuded a cold feeling all over his body, and his eyes which are like dark ice swept over Yu Lingxi. His gaze was fixed on the prescription lying on its back on the ground.
A dark color flashed in the bottom of his eyes.
Yu Lingxi hurriedly picked up the prescription and the Nine Delicate Fragrance, and hid them behind her back.
Yu Lingxi’s knee subconsciously softened when the bitterness and grievances that had been hard to forget in the previous life burst, and she almost blurted out the word ‘Your Highness’.
Her body trembled instinctively, but her eyes couldn’t suppress the sullenness.
Calm down, Yu Lingxi.
Even if this person is really Ning Yin, he also doesn’t know her, so there’s nothing to be afraid of!
Yes, nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, Yu Lingxi gained more confidence, and resisted the chill all over her body, confronting the eyes of the young man in black.
“Here already?”
The shopkeeper seemed to know the young man in black, and broke the silence with a laugh: “Your life is really hard to be able to stand on the ground and walk around so quickly.”
The young man in black then withdrew his cold probing, and went to the counter to get the medicine. Instead of paying money, he threw a bloody iron pendant on the counter, then turned and left.
His pace was fast, and when he passed by, Yu Lingxi could feel a cold gaze passing over her body, making her whole body feel cold.
Yu Lingxi clearly remembered that in his previous life, he had a disability with his left leg, could not leave his walking stick, and walked very slowly.
Is he… really Ning Yin?
Yu Lingxi hesitated, but the oppressive feeling that penetrated into her bone marrow told her that she was not wrong.
