My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

However, Qingfeng Li did not intend to let Li Yang follow him because he had too many secrets, such as the Golden Flames. These were not things that he could let an outsider know about as it was his and Black Puppy’s secret trump cards in case they face danger.

This was not because Qingfeng Li did not believe Li Yang, but he feared being discovered by other people with bad intentions, provoking unnecessary troubles.

Thinking about it, Li Yang was a heavenly spirit realm master. If she followed someone from the true spirit realm and acted so obedient and respectful to them, it would certainly arouse suspicion.

Qingfeng Li walked up to Li Yang’s side and said, “Li Yang, if you treat me as your elder brother, just listen to me and follow Hai Mu. Let him arrange a management position for you. If you have pills, just give me some to refine, this will also be helpful to me.”

Originally, Li Yang wanted to follow Qingfeng Li and did not want to be a manager, but now hearing what he said, her eyes revealed a touch of light.

She felt that Qingfeng Li was right. Once she became one of the Mu Family’s deacons, she could receive a pill every month. At that time, she could send the pill to Qingfeng Li and could be regarded as returning the favor.

“Okay, Elder Brother Li, I’ll listen to you. I’ll give you the pill next month when I receiveit.” Li Yang was delighted and left the management room with Hai Mu.

Qingqing Mu smirked and said, “Qingfeng Li, I did not expect this woman to listen your words.”

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly, remained silent, then said, “Qingqing Mu, quickly take me to the Spirit Herbs Garden.”

Qingqing Mu nodded and took Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy towards the garden.

The Spirit Herbs Garden was located to the north of the Mu Family, where spirit herbs were cultivated in a fenced off area.

Qingqing Mu and the two were moving really fast and arrived there quickly.

Qingfeng Li looked around and found the Spirit Herbs Garden had appeared and was about a kilometer in size, planted with a variety of spirit herbs from tier one to tier four spirit.

Qingfeng Li could identify most of the spirit herbs were grown here. Of course, there were very few that Qingfeng Li did not know about, as they only grew in the Crimson Fire Continent. There was none on earth.

There was a chubby middle-aged man with no beard tending the Spirit Herbs Garden.

The middle-aged man walked around Spirit Herbs Garden, controlling the rain to drizzle from the clouds as he chanted. The water-type essence poured from the sky and the mists watered the spirit herbs.

This chubby middle-aged man was the son of the Mu’s Family Senior Elder, known as Ming Mu, who managed everything in the Spirit Herbs Garden.

This was a very good job because managing the Spirit Herbs Garden could allow him to secretly pocket some spirit herbs.

Of course, other people did not know Ming Mu used spirit herbs in exchange for vitality stones and other treasures, and he could even go to restaurants within the Greater Luo City to eat and drink by paying in spirit herbs, which was also why he was so chubby.

Seeing Qingqing Mu came over with a strange youth and a dog, Ming Mu frowned and said, “Second Miss, why did you come here? I’ve never seen you coming to the Spirit Herbs Garden before.”

Qingqing Mu smiled faintly and said, “I see that Brother Ming is busy. This is my friend Qingfeng Li. Grandpa Hai Mu just arranged a task for him to be an apprentice in Spirit Herbs Garden. I hope you can lead him and teach him some knowledge of spirit herbs.”

Ming Mu frowned slightly, a touch of surprise appearing in his eyes. He turned around and looked at Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy.

He was sure that he had never seen this youth in Mu’s Family and Greater Luo City. How could he become friends with the Second Miss? That’s unbelievable.

“Second Miss, our Spirit Herbs Garden just took in the Third Elder’s grandson as an apprentice. We are not in need for people now. Why don’t you let Qingfeng Li go somewhere else?” Ming smiled faintly and said.

Qingqing Mu frowned and said, “Ming Mu, he is my friend. I just said I talked to Grandpa Hai Mu already. He told me my family has no extra positions, so now we can only let Qingfeng Li be an apprentice here.”

Ming Mu originally wanted to refuse, but Qingqing Mu was persisting, so he could not do anything. After all, Qingqing Mu was the second miss of the Mu Family. If this matter gets to the head of the clan, the patriarch would still be on the Second Miss’s side.

“Second Miss, since you said so, let’s let Qingfeng Li stay in Spirit Herbs Garden then.” Ming Mu smiled faintly, agreeing to Qingqing Mu’s request.

Qingqing Mu nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Qingfeng Li and said, “Do well here. When there’s a suitable position for you, I will arrange for you again.”

After that, Qingqing Mu wiggled her slender waist and turned away.

She had just returned from the wilderness of wild beasts and suffered from shock, so her own strength and vital essence had also been greatly consumed. Now she needed to go back to the family’s Medicine Pavilion and get some alchemy pills to help her recover her vital essence.

After seeing Qingqing Mu left, Ming Mu’s smile instantly became indifferent. He looked at Qingfeng Li coldly, not having a good feeling about him.

“Qingfeng Li, you are an apprentice at Spirit Herbs Garden, so your task here is to remove the weeds in the garden, then take the bucket and water every spirit herb,” Ming Mu ordered Qingfeng Li with a toneless voice.

As for Qingfeng Li, Ming Mu was extremely unhappy with him because he accepted benefits from Third Elder to arrange the Third Elder’s grandson to work at the Spirit Herbs Garden. However, he did not realize there would be an extra person, Qingfeng Li.

Black Puppy was very dissatisfied because it heard the tone Ming Mu was using. It felt Ming Mu was holding Qingfeng Li in contempt, which was really looking for death.

Black Puppy took a step forward and wanted to teach Ming Mu a lesson, but was stopped by Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li transmitted a voice transmission secretly and said, “Puppy, we are now in the Mu Family. Do not stir up trouble. Wait till our strength is improved, then we come kick Ming Mu’s ass.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s voice transmission, Black Puppy nodded. It also knew what Qingfeng Li said was right, Qingfeng Li and its strength were only in the true spirit realm now. Even if they wanted to teach Ming Mu a lesson, they could not beat him. The only thing that they could do was to be patient.

Black Puppy also knew why Qingfeng Li wanted to come to Spirit Herbs Garden; he fancied the spirit herbs here.

Qingfeng Li knew how to refine pills, so once he was able to refine a high-tier alchemy pill, he could use it to enhance his cultivation level.

“Manager Ming Mu, I accept your request to go pull the weeds.” Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and said.

After that, Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy left.

Following Ming Mu’s request, they went to a small room aside to take a hoe.

This hoe was like a normal hoe, but it was made from Black Crystal Steel, a precious ore that contained a glimmer of vital essence energy. It was very hard and sharp, making it easy to plough the grounds of the Spirit Herbs Garden.

Qingfeng Li tried a bit and found that this black hoe was quite smooth, but slightly heavier.
