Chapter 81: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 81: Punishment (Part 1)
Yan Junyu's words made Mo Yan unable to remain calm anymore. She thought she had been very careful, but how could the secret of the Spirit Spring water be discovered so soon?
Initially, she was worried that if the vegetables grew too fast, it would arouse suspicion, so she dared not put too much Spirit Spring water in the irrigation ditch. Even if ordinary people ate vegetables watered with Spirit Spring water, they would only find the vegetables tasty. Even if they consumed them for a long time and expelled impurities from their bodies, the effects wouldn't be very noticeable, and it was almost impossible to be discovered.
However, she was too confident after all. No matter where the problem arose, if the person in front of her hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, it would have been impossible for him to understand the effects of the Spirit Spring water so thoroughly.
Fortunately, he only thought that the secret technique in her hands was similar to the medicinal potions used for planting flowers and didn't suspect anything about the spatial aspect. This somewhat reassured her.
But since it had already been discovered, it was difficult to guarantee that it wouldn't be discovered by a second, third, or even more people in the future. If this continued, would the secret of the space be exposed? She really couldn't guarantee it.
Even if people couldn't think of her possessing a space, they might suspect that she had unnatural abilities. If she were used by someone with malicious intent, she would definitely be viewed as a monster by the world. Unless from now on, she stopped using everything in the space...
Thinking of this, Mo Yan gradually calmed down. Facing Yan Junyu's calm expression, she stopped pretending and openly admitted, "That's right, I do have a secret technique. As long as you give me a promise, I can give you the potions I've brewed."
With a "snap," the jade bone fan closed, and Yan Junyu looked directly at her, the faint pressure in his starry eyes intimidating.
"What I want is the secret technique!"
Mo Yan wouldn't back down either. Her sharp gaze met his directly, with no room for negotiation in her tone. "I can only give you the potions. Even if I give you the secret technique, you won't be able to brew it. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do!"
In her previous life, when her family sent the Spirit Spring water to research institutions, a dozen or so researchers studied it for a long time, only to find that its components were similar to pure water. It was impossible to replicate it in reality.
Yan Junyu's fox-like eyes stared at Mo Yan fixedly, the smile on his face unchanged. Those who were familiar with him knew that this was his true angry expression.
Mo Yan looked at him calmly, with a rare seriousness and stubbornness on her face.
After a long stare, Yan Junyu compromised and uttered a word:
"Speak!"
Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, resisting the urge to wipe her sweat, and said, "As long as within the jurisdiction of the capital, our family can do anything, but you must ensure the safety of our family."
Hearing this, Yan Junyu smiled ambiguously. "Little girl, you have quite the audacity! Do you think that just by giving a few potions, I will agree to your request?"
Mo Yan returned the smile, her eyes shining brighter than the stars in the dark night. "If it were just a vegetable-growing potion, you naturally wouldn't agree."
Yan Junyu's heart stirred, his eyes containing a hint of approval that even he didn't notice. "Good! As long as you don't conspire against or betray the country, I will ensure the safety of your family!"
As he spoke, he took out a jet-black ink jade from his body and handed it to Mo Yan. "This ink jade serves as proof. If your family encounters any difficulties in the future, take this ink jade to the Wu'an Mansion for help."
Then, he took off a dark green ring from his left pinky finger and said solemnly, "If it's an urgent matter, take this ring to the treasurer at the Huixian Residence. If the treasurer isn't there, go directly to the Baoyue Tower, and someone will help you then."
Mo Yan hadn't come to her senses from the familiar term "Wu'an Mansion" yet. She blankly accepted the dark green ring, feeling the residual warmth on it, which instantly brought her back to her senses. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask, "Are you from the Wu'an Mansion?"
