BTTH : genius planner

Qingshan Town is one of the small towns closest to the Beast Mountain Range in the southwest direction of the Gamah Empire.

In a courtyard in the southwest direction of the town, Lin Yuan was explaining things to Qing Lin.

"Qing'er, I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and focus on your cultivation for a while. You've worked hard staying in the Beast Mountain Range for so long. Once I finish my business, I'll take you to visit some bustling cities," Lin Yuan said affectionately, gently running his fingers through Qing Lin's hair, feeling a bit apologetic.

"It's not hard for me; I'm not tired. It's you who's working hard, Young Master. Don't worry about me. I have Xiao Hong and the others to protect me, so it's fine. Just focus on your own matters," Qing Lin said, blinking her bright green eyes and speaking playfully.

"But what's with your appearance, Young Master?" Qing Lin asked curiously, looking at Lin Yuan's face with some confusion. At this moment, Lin Yuan was not in his true form but was wearing the guise of Xu An.

Although the appearance before her was good, Qing Lin still thought her Young Master's true appearance was more handsome.

"Oh, right, this is the first time you've seen me like this. Well, it's a bit complicated to explain. I'll tell you more about it next time I have the chance. I'll be heading out now."

"Okay! Young Master, be careful on your way."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and headed towards the shopping street.

After watching Lin Yuan leave, Qing Lin released a fourth-tier magical beast as a guardian, then returned indoors, sat cross-legged on her bed, formed a hand seal for cultivation, and closed her eyes to begin her practice.

"I'm still too weak. If I want to help Young Master, I need to become stronger quickly!"

Qingshan Town, due to its proximity to the Beast Mountain Range, has gathered many mercenaries, bringing a different kind of prosperity to its commerce.

On both sides of the streets in the shopping area, there are numerous shops, and the largest herbal shop in Qingshan Town is called "Wanyao Zhai," where the best doctor, the Little Medical Fairy, works.

Inside Wanyao Zhai, the Little Medical Fairy wiped the sweat from her forehead, finishing a busy morning. There were quite a few patients today, and even she felt a bit tired.

At this moment, Mr. Yao, the person in charge of Wanyao Zhai, walked out from the inner hall. He glanced at the Little Medical Fairy's slender waist, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He quickly averted his gaze before she turned around and praised her, "You've worked hard, Little Medical Fairy. The business of Wanyao Zhai is thriving thanks to your efforts."

"Mr. Yao is too kind. I'm just doing my job," the Little Medical Fairy replied gently.

Mr. Yao was about to compliment her further to get closer to her when suddenly a young man exuding a powerful aura walked in their direction, instantly silencing Wanyao Zhai with his imposing presence.

"Such a powerful aura, definitely not at the level of a Fighter. Could he be a Great Fighter or even a Spirit Fighter? A young powerhouse like this? Which prominent family's genius is he?" Mr. Yao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, nervously watching the young man who appeared to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

The newcomer was Lin Yuan. He scanned the surroundings, his gaze sweeping past the Little Medical Fairy before finally landing on Mr. Yao.

"Are you the person in charge of Wanyao Zhai?" Lin Yuan asked淡淡地, though it was a question, his tone was very certain.

Feeling the weight of the gaze on him, Mr. Yao mustered his courage, stepped forward, bowed, and said with a hint of flattery in his tone, "I am indeed the person in charge of Wanyao Zhai. If there's anything you need, please feel free to command me."

Although Lin Yuan's gaze was on Mr. Yao, his soul perception was focused on the Little Medical Fairy. He intended to test whether she already knew the location of the treasure cave.

Narrowing his eyes, Lin Yuan said淡淡地, "Hmm, you have good insight. I do have some matters that require your assistance. Do well, and you will be rewarded; do poorly, and you will be punished. That punishment is something you definitely do not want to experience. Do you understand?"

Hearing Lin Yuan's cold words, Mr. Yao couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said even more respectfully, "I understand. Please command me."

"There is a cave at a cliff near the Beast Mountain Range close to Qingshan Town. I came here specifically to find it. Do you know where that cave is?" Lin Yuan said, turning his back to the Little Medical Fairy, coldly looking at Mr. Yao, his tone deliberately infused with urgency, while his soul perception was keenly capturing any changes in the Little Medical Fairy.

"Uh, my lord, as the person in charge of Wanyao Zhai, I don't often go into the mountains to gather herbs, and I haven't heard anyone mention it, so…" Mr. Yao's face turned pale as he cautiously replied to Lin Yuan.

Meanwhile, behind Lin Yuan, the Little Medical Fairy's eyes slightly narrowed when she heard him mention the cave at the cliff, and her heart raced a bit.

Her mind began to race, "Could the cave he's talking about be the one I saw last time? A cave that even such a powerful person is looking for must indeed hold secrets. It's very likely a treasure cave, a great opportunity. No, I need to calm myself; I can't let anyone see anything unusual."

The Little Medical Fairy quickly adjusted her demeanor, putting on a confused expression. Since everyone was focused on Lin Yuan, no one noticed the subtle change in her.

A glimmer of amusement flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. From the moment he entered, the Little Medical Fairy's state had been completely enveloped by his soul perception, and he naturally caught her brief change. "She has already discovered the cave. It seems I won't need to explore it myself bit by bit; I can just play a little trick to draw the snake out of its hole."

As his thoughts turned, Lin Yuan had made up his mind. His aura intensified, and his gaze towards Mr. Yao became heavier, his indifferent tone laced with impatience: "So, you don't know?"

Mr. Yao felt the weight of Lin Yuan's gaze grow heavier. Under the immense pressure, he quickly thought of a way out and said, "My lord, please don't be angry. I will quickly inquire with those who have gathered herbs and arrange for someone to search the mountains immediately. I will definitely find the cave for you."

"Forget it. Relying on a useless person like you is worse than me taking action myself. Next, you will handle one thing. If you don't do it well, you will die. Do you understand?" Lin Yuan said coldly.

"My lord, please command me. I will do my utmost to handle it well," Mr. Yao hurriedly replied, flustered.

"I'll give you three days. Gather people, collect information, and create a detailed map. The map must mark all the cliff locations in this area. When I return from the imperial capital, hand it to me. Do you understand?" Lin Yuan instructed.

"Understood, understood! I will arrange it immediately and ensure this matter is handled well. Please rest assured, my lord," Mr. Yao quickly agreed to Lin Yuan's orders.

Lin Yuan patted Mr. Yao's stiff shoulder and chuckled lightly, "Do well, take it seriously. I will also assign this matter to another person. If your map isn't thorough enough when I compare it later, then you know the consequences, right?"

"I understand. How could I dare to neglect your matters, my lord? Thank you for your leniency. I will definitely handle this well," Mr. Yao said in a panic.

"Alright, I will return in three days."

Lin Yuan turned and walked in front of the Little Medical Fairy, his gaze landing on her gentle and beautiful face, which now bore a look of confusion.

"She acts so well; there's no flaw visible on the surface. It seems women really have a natural talent for acting, and the Little Medical Fairy is no exception." Looking at the Little Medical Fairy's bewildered expression, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Lin Yuan looked meaningfully at the Little Medical Fairy, who had her head lowered, and said with a light smile, "I didn't expect that in such a remote place as Qingshan Town, there would be such a beauty."

After saying this, Lin Yuan exerted his powerful legs, his fighting spirit swirling around him, and leaped upward, breaking through the roof of Wanyao Zhai like a cannonball, disappearing from everyone's sight, leaving only a lingering voice echoing in the room.

"Remember, I will return in three days."

Meanwhile, the Little Medical Fairy, standing in place, felt a faint scent that her keen sense of smell recognized.

"This scent… it's the smell of herbs."
