Chapter 302: Gift to Accept a Disciple
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Kong Rui could tell which spirit medicines were useful towards Nie Lin, but she had not mastered the method of finding them.
The medicinal smell emitted by the pill in her hand was a spiritual herb that had a fatal effect on Nie Lin—Di Hua.
It was said that Di Hua grew dozens of meters underground and was protected by spirit beasts. It was one of the most difficult spirit herbs to find.
She had previously obtained a bead stained with Di Hua’s juice from Kong Niang, so she was very familiar with this smell.
Kong Rui originally wanted to ask her mentor where to get this spirit medicine, but she didn’t expect her mentor to give her this pill.
“is my little disciple satisfied with your mentor’s gift?” The old man rubbed his aching chin and grimaced at Kong Rui.
Kong Rui took the pill and bowed to the old man.
Although the old man had a look of disdain, he still accepted Kong Rui’s bow happily.
After all, this was the first time this little girl had bowed to him so sincerely.
After confirming that the old man was fine, Kong Rui prepared to get up and leave.
Seeing this, the old man immediately stretched out a hand. “Hey! Girl! Don’t go yet! I’m not done talking!”
Kong Rui turned around in confusion and saw the old man take out a small wooden box.
After he threw the wooden box forward, Kong Rui reached out to catch it.
“Your useless senior brother is in the royal family now. If you can contact him with this thing, it might be helpful to you,” the old man said as he gestured for Kong Rui to open the box.
After Kong Rui opened the lid, she saw a small jade tablet lying inside.
The jade tablet was snow-white and crystalline. When she touched it gently, she could even feel waves of coldness coming from it.
Kong Rui took out the jade tablet. There was a grass with only three thin leaves engraved on the front, and a finger mark was formed on the back.
As Kong Rui studied the jade tablet, she heard her mentor say, “Try pressing your finger on it.”
Kong Rui followed her mentor’s instructions and pressed her thumb on it, but the jade tablet didn’t show any changes.
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly felt something prick her index finger.
She subconsciously threw away the jade tablet in her hand, then caught it agilely with her other hand.
Kong Rui raised her hand to check. As expected, Kong Rui saw a small wound on her index finger. Blood flowed out of the wound and formed a small bead of blood.
She showed her hand to her mentor as she asked, “What’s going on?”
The old man also frowned and seemed a little puzzled as he muttered, “What’s going on?”
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows as sh thought to herself, Why is my mentor acting so strange? He was clearly the one who gave this to me!
Before Kong Rui could ask, the old man snatched the jade tablet and looked at the grass and leaves carefully. Then, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “So that’s how it is!”
The corners of Kong Rui’s mouth twitched. She didn’t know what was wrong with her mentor.
The old man ignored Kong Rui and started laughing.
Just as Kong Rui was hesitating over whether or not to interrupt the old man’s laughter, the old man’s laughter stopped.
Kong Rui was stunned by his sudden change in emotions.
At this moment, the old man said again, “You’re indeed extraordinary. This is good, this is good…”
Kong Rui was puzzled and asked directly, “Mentor, your words sound strange. Why don’t you explain it to me so that I know what I should do?”
The old man waved his hand and said, “It’s not time yet! Remember, carry this jade tablet with you. There will definitely be a time when it comes in handy!”
Kong Rui didn’t have the time to ask in detail. She could only put away the jade tablet and leave after saying goodbye to her mentor.
Since this thing could help her contact the royal family, it would definitely be able to help her enter the royal family and save the two little fellows.
However, although she didn’t fully believe the bone, she had to be wary of the traps in the royal family that the bone mentioned.
Now, she had to deal with Nie Lin first. This was Kong Niang’s priority.
After making up her mind, Kong Rui hurriedly walked towards the Nie family’s residence.
Although she hadn’t found a way to enter the Nie family’s residence yet, she had to walk around the vicinity to find an opportunity to take action.
Kong Rui had just taken a few steps when her vision suddenly darkened.
She subconsciously took two steps back and got into a defensive position..
