The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 160 - Small world.

And not long ago in a sizable medicinal home in the capital the two women faced each other, some health records were already scattered, Hua Mulan watched so closely, and nodded a few times, nodding a few times, and just tossed the note over his desk, like he knew about the note.

His eyes looked full of anger looking into the eyes of Counselor Ming.

"I've been waiting for this day for so long" Hua Mulan said.

Counselor Ming nodded, as he was now under pressure, and without a fight.

"Say the terms, madam?" advisory Ming said like surrender.

"Good... You went straight to the point, and you also know what conditions must be fulfilled," Hua Mulan said with her hands clenched, seen a jade ring on her index finger, the Zhi Yuan.

Counselor Ming nodded again, as he gulped his saliva.

"Prepare your equipment madam, all conditions are fulfilled" said Counselor Ming, standing up and bowing politely.

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace, if things are as you say, there are some herbs that I should look for first" Hua Mulan said.

"Alright, just show me my hairpick, then you'll be taken to the right place" Ming's adviser gave a hairpick bearing the emblem of a fire snake.

That morning Zhi Yuan looked calm, a smile was on his lips, his eyes were swollen and a little dark, but the young man looked enthusiastic towards a market. Zhi Yuan desperately longed for the bland cuisine of Hua Mulan, and planned on buying some necessary ingredients, and something new filled his mind.

"I don't have much time to search for the reincarnation of Goddess Zhang Ziyi, this world is too vast for a time of two months, roughly how old is she currently? is it still small? she must have grown into a beautiful girl, I really hope she lives happily," Inner Zhi Yuan, and stared at her groceries.

"aahhh, I was very lucky today, this is the last red radish in this market, and also an old shrimp squash," muttered Zhi Yuan hugging the basket containing some vegetables on his chest, as he was holding his chest, but his steps came to a halt as he stared at the two people chatting while enjoying a meal in a simple tavern not far from where he was standing, the young man slightly approached to the right side hearing the couple talk.

A young man of about 25 years old, who looked so handsome with a clean smile and from the top, was, the young man's eyes seemed to be filled with lustful glare staring at the skinny back of the woman who was holding the boy.and the woman seemed undisturbed by the perverted look of her male friend.

"hahaha.. young healer Li, you are very good at breaking women's hearts, tell me how many women have you conquered? I see that lady from the dancing academy always comes to my medicine house to ask you," said the woman who was none other than Hua Mulan as she was serving seduction from the man.

The man nodded with a smile, though,

"Don't tell me you're jealous, haha. I'm so happy to hear that, even if you already have my son's eye, I won't be able to turn to another woman again" the young man said.

"hahaha... My first son is the same age as you, it's enough, I won't answer him, how are you ready?" hua Mulan asked, with a voice typical of a slightly heavy and firm adult woman.

"you've always treated me well, I'm ready, today I know your son, what if you knew me about my father-in-law? your father was such a legendary healer, I really wanted to meet him" said the young man.

"enough Mr Li, I know all your wits, I'm a married woman?" hua Mulan said, dodging the young man's gaze.

"i've heard everything, your husband is gone, I can't believe he's so selfish towards a woman as beautiful as you, trust me healer Hua, I'll take his place" the young man said.

Zhi Yuan closed his eyes, and prepared to continue on his way back to the palace, yet a middle-aged man smashed into the young man's back leaving the contents of his basket scattered.

I'm sorry young man, I didn't see him at all" said the man, looking remorseful, and trying to help Zhi Yuan.

Zhi Yuan stopped looking at the man and nodded, and started crouching around collecting his groceries, and the man crouched down and took out a few gold pieces.

"accept it, buy something I've broken, I'm in such a hurry that I can't help you" the man said.

"it doesn't need to be uncle, after all there are no broken items" Zhi Yuan said.

The middle-aged man again apologized and left Zhi Yuan, but his ears focused on listening to the two people who were not far from him.

"young Master Li, stop your seduction, you are an important guest in my Medicine house, I will appreciate your methods this time, even if I see them as not so effective," Hua Mulan said.

"hahaha, you really have to respect me, but you didn't see my ability, I was able to come out under great pressure, without making mistakes" said the smart-looking man.

"but healer Hua, even though I've only known you for a few months, but I feel like we're a good fit, we can share our work complaints because we know so well our work difficulties" the man said.

"i also feel we are co-cock.." the woman's remark stopped when she saw the man turn his back, the young man was seen to be silent, half-knelt without taking the scattered items.

The woman closed her lips, looking at the back of the young man, and standing up like she had involuntarily approached Zhi Yuan and the man who accompanied her to eat also came close to Zhi Yuan while holding the little boy.

Hua Mulan picked up some red radishes, and carefully looked at the bowed Zhi Yuan with the entire bangs covering her face, suddenly the woman dropped a new red radish on her pickle, which was a red one, and froze looking at Zhi Yuan.

The woman's lips opened, her eyes unblinking looking at Zhi Yuan, she said,

"Hua's sister do you know this young man?" ask the man with the boy in his sling.
