Chapter 575 The Disciple as Shy as a Mouse“I can’t tell you that. That is a secret of my school,” Gu Bailu said calmly.Qian’er looked at her with a trace of envy in her limpid eyes.

She had never seen anyone refuse Lu Fenying so forthrightly.

Lu Fenying narrowed his eyes. “How much do I have to pay for you to divulge the secret?”

“Not even for a thousand taels of gold.” Gu Bailu straightened her back. “Your Highness, you have everything in the world; please don’t covet my secret recipe.”

This was a new experience for Lu Fenying. “You’re quite bold. Haven’t you heard of my methods?”

Gu Bailu smiled lightly. “Your Highness, you can’t give me what I want, so it would be best for you to drop this idea. If you refuse, I am not afraid. My and my disciple’s lives are insignificant. If we can bring the crown prince and his love down with us, then it is no loss.”

The master of the Su family flew into a rage. “How dare you! Never speak to the crown prince like that!”

His heart pounded. He never expected the person he brought here to be so brash.

If she wanted to die, that was her own business, but don’t pull him down as well!

“Is there a need to be so angry? I’m only speaking the truth. If I didn’t have that to rely on, I would never have come to the residence of the dangerous crown prince.” Gu Bailu held Qian’er’s hand and raised her eyebrows. See, Lu Fenying isn’t that scary.

“You!” The master of the Su family almost choked. Where had this arrogant Daoist nun come from?!

“Uncle Su, have a cup of tea.” Lu Fenying crossed his legs as he sat down and stared at Gu Bailu with great interest. “You’re really bold. Why did you take in such a timid disciple?”

“Only in this way can she be taught.”

“Good answer. Let’s see when you can teach her not to be afraid of me. Step forward.” Lu Fenying waved his hand lazily.

The master of the Su family frowned uneasily. Had the crown prince taken a fancy to this Daoist nun’s young disciple?

That wasn’t possible. The girl was as thin as a twig. In the loose nun robe, she looked even skinnier, as if one gust of wind would send her flying.

Also, while she was pretty, she definitely wasn’t a beauty.

“No…” Qian’er shook her head and leaned into Gu Bailu.

Gu Bailu smiled. “Please don’t scare her, Your Highness. She really is very timid and may forget herself and offend you.”

Lu Fenying didn’t insist. “From her reaction, it’s as if I’m a cannibal.”

“Please forgive us,” said Gu Bailu.

“How many pills do you have?” No longer paying attention to Qian’er, Lu Fenying talked proper business with Gu Bailu.

“It takes time to make the pills. Also, the herbs required are expensive and hard to acquire. So, I’ve only made ten.”

“The price is not a problem. Write down the herbs you need, and I’ll get them for you. I want you to make ten pills every day…”

“Your Highness!” Gu Bailu interrupted him before he could finish. “All medicine is toxic to some degree. Only one pill can be taken per day. I won’t take responsibility if the patient takes ten pills a day and something happens.”

Lu Fenying narrowed his almond-shaped eyes. “Are you sure one is enough?”

“I am. One is enough.”

If I give you so many pills in one go and Su Muwei really is cured, I won’t have time to steal the Sky Splitting Mirror, will I?

She had come to the crown prince’s residence firstly to help Qian’er resolve her problem, and secondly, for the Sky Splitting Mirror.

While it probably wouldn’t be that easy to steal the Sky Splitting Mirror, there was always the chance, as long as Su Muwei needed her help.
