Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: What Is She Being Treated As?

Yunyi watched Huo Jingrui leave and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid she’d need to put in more effort, but to her surprise, Huo Jingrui had simply agreed to her request.

Glancing at the time, she saw it was just the hour she usually went up the mountain for her morning exercise, so she slung her basket on her back and locked the door.

Liu Chenglin had entered the courtyard by now. Seeing no movement inside, he figured she must have gone back to her room to catch up on sleep. After all, Huo Jingrui had implied that Liu Chenglin had been in action with them last night.

Fortunately, since his arrival in the village, Liu Chenglin had never once missed work or exposed his identity; otherwise, the production team leader might not have been exposed so easily.

As she made her way up the mountain, she pondered how to deal with those plotting against her. Before the production team leader’s real identity is exposed, I must tie the Qiu Family to him. That way, even if they’re not complicit, their lives in the village won’t be easy in the future. If they dare to covet me again, they can’t blame me for giving them a lesson they’ll never forget.

Following her usual routine, she arrived at her customary practice spot and sat cross-legged, circulating her Inner Strength throughout her body using the techniques from her previous life while also cultivating her spiritual power.

Her previously muddled brain, after a period of emptying her mind and circulating her techniques, finally responded, filling Yunyi with immense joy. She hadn’t held out much hope but had never given up. In her previous life, her spiritual power had never reached its peak. In this life, she wasn’t demanding too much; it would be best if this could be the icing on the cake.

The sun rose slowly, accompanied by the purest vital energy from the east. Her meridians flowed smoothly, her blood and qi were abundant, and even her Dantian brimmed with vigor, her mind becoming exceptionally clear.

After several cycles, her consciousness initially cleared, her meridians interconnected internally and externally, and the Ren and Du meridians circulated automatically. She knew that the skills from her previous life had, after all, not abandoned her.

Taking a deep breath, she expanded her spiritual sense, perceiving everything within a ten-meter radius, which truly thrilled her. After regulating her breath and retracting her spiritual sense, she gathered her Inner Strength into her lower Dantian and concluded her practice.

She stood up and walked down the mountain by another path. Besides kicking over a dead tree, she also gathered some common medicinal herbs, planning to take them to the health clinic later.

After returning home and seeing it was late, she decided against making breakfast. Instead, she tidied up the firewood, closed the door, and went straight into her personal space for a quick bath and to freshen up.

Having taken breakfast from her space and eaten it, she headed towards the village health clinic.

Just steps from her door, she encountered Lun Huaijing, Tao Yuran, and Guo Aibing, who lived not far behind her. After exchanging greetings, they walked together toward the bridge.

To Yunyi’s surprise, when they reached the health clinic, the door was already open, which startled her.

The three who had come with her were also curious. They paused and followed her into the health clinic.

Upon entering, they finally saw who was sitting inside, but Yunyi didn’t recognize the person. ”Who are you?”

Tao Yuran, who was following behind Yunyi, reminded her, ”Chu Zhiqing, this is Xue Linfang. She’s been assisting Doctor Gong.”

Yunyi then recalled that aside from the key kept at the brigade headquarters, only Doctor Gong and his assistant, Xue Linfang, had keys to the health clinic. ”Hello, I’m Chuyunyi, a Zhiqing from the village. I’m temporarily filling in here.”

Xue Linfang did not stand up but assessed Yunyi from head to toe. ”You’re Chu Zhiqing?”

Without waiting for Yunyi’s response, she continued, ”Start by cleaning up.”

Ha! What does she take me for?
