Qin Tianxiang didn’t hesitate. If there had been only one bun left, she might have suspected Zhu Yanyi was saving it for them. But with nearly ten buns, if Zhu Yanyi said she couldn’t finish even one, then she truly couldn’t. So Qin Tianxiang took half a bun and began to eat, nodding as she chewed. “The buns at this station are actually quite good.”
Luo Gang smiled. “Do you think I bought them here by chance? I passed through here on a mission before. I stopped to eat the buns and wontons and discovered this hidden gem.”
Zhu Yanyi swallowed her bite. “Brother Luo has been here before?” She looked out the window. The scenery outside continued to rush backward.
Luo Gang nodded, his eyes holding a hint of nostalgia. “I traveled everywhere for missions, so coming here was normal. Did you think we never visited this place, Miss?”
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. “No, I was just curious. I didn’t expect Brother Luo to have been here.”
Qin Tianxiang laughed from the side. “We traveled everywhere during our missions. We’ve been to many places you’ve never even heard of.”
Zhu Yanyi blinked, her face full of longing. “I really want to go to Wudang Mountain and Shennongjia. I think there must be many good medicinal herbs there. But my parents won’t let me go out right now.”
Zhu Yanyi especially longed for places with strong natural ecology. Some might say those places were dangerous, but for Zhu Yanyi, danger meant good herbs. The herbs in her Ruyi Space could not be used openly because she lacked good medicinal materials as a medium. If she could go to places like Wudang Mountain with better natural ecology and find some herbs, she might find a way to use the herbs in her space. It was unavoidable. Although she had the treasure of the Ruyi Space, she dared not use it openly. Although the outside world seemed relatively peaceful on the surface, for Zhu Yanyi, danger could exist if she was not careful.
Every time she thought of this, Zhu Yanyi sighed that she didn’t have the luck of a novel’s female lead. If someone else got a space, their life would be so carefree. No one would know they had a space, and even if they pulled things out of thin air, no one would suspect them. Unlike her, she had to hide things and make excuses.
“I think you should listen to your parents,” Zhao Jingcheng said from the side.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. “Emotionally, I think listening to my parents is right. But rationally, if I stay at home and don’t go out, it won’t help improve my ability to identify medicines at all.”
Qin Tianxiang laughed upon hearing this. “What’s the problem? When you are a bit older and sure you can go out independently, persuade your parents, and the rest of us will go with you. We can treat it as a small team’s field training.”
Wudang Mountain and Shennongjia might be full of dangers for others, but they already had human presence. Many hikers went to Wudang Mountain and Shennongjia, so they were much better than truly untouched ecological areas. For special forces veterans like Qin Tianxiang, the danger level there was only moderate.
Zhu Yanyi smiled upon hearing this. “I think so too. I plan to apply for solo travel after my high school entrance exam in three years. I will focus on these natural ecological areas. I will go out and look around every summer vacation to search for medicinal herbs. Maybe I will be lucky enough to find those legendary herbs.”
