Mu Ru Yue silently looked at the shopkeeper. After pondering for a long moment, she said, “The Return of Spring Hall has a good reputation. I will naturally trust it. Since that is the case, I shall return tomorrow.”
“I give my thanks to the Lady.”
The shopkeeper let out a breath before instructing his subordinate to bring the gold coins over. He personally handed them over to Mu Ru Yue. After receiving the gold coins, Mu Ru Yue didn’t stay and left the shop….
“100-year-old medicinal plants. Hehe! I didn’t expect to obtain so many 100-year-old medicinal plants in one go.” The shopkeeper chuckled and casually took up a medicine stalk. At that moment, his smile stiffened as he stared at it. It was as though he were looking at a ghost as astonishment played across his face.
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He hastily checked the other medicinal plant stalks. Even though it wasn’t obvious, there was a not big, nor small green sword-shaped symbol at the bottom of every stalk of these medicinal plants.
“This… isn’t this the medicine from our Return of Spring Hall? I definitely know all of the medicinal plants in the Return of Spring Hall. I don’t think there were a lot of 100-year-old medicinal plants, nor were there any traces of theft. How can they appear in her hands? That’s right, I remember that there was a young girl that had bought 100 stalks of 50-year-old medicinal plants. Those medicinal plants were personally handpicked by myself, so I clearly remember that. But how did those 50-year-old medicinal plants turn into 100-year-old medicinal plants?”
‘That’s right, these really were the medicinal plants I had sold, but what had happened?’
“No, this won’t do. I must request a meeting with Grandmaster Wu Yu as it’s just too unimaginable.”
How could the shopkeeper not be shocked with the 50-year-old medicinal plants turning into 100-year-old medicinal plants after just a few days? He thought, ‘This matter must be reported to Grandmaster Wu Yu.’
