Chapter 130 - Such a Big Favor (2/2)

“Miss Ling, we do have Bai Du, Huang Ling, and Ling He Gra.s.s. It’s just that I am a little curious as to the reason Miss Ling is buying Bai Du and Huang Ling. One must know that when these two herbs are combined, it is highly toxic,” said Gao Wentian, still smiling.

“Why? Is it your policy to ask your guests what each herb they buy is for?” asked Ling Chuxi, frowning in dissatisfaction.

Gao Wentian shook his head. “That’s not the case. This is just a casual question I am asking out of pure curiosity. Miss Ling does not need to answer. We don’t have Tian Xiang Gra.s.s on hand at the moment, but if Miss Ling needs it, I can despatch someone to immediately transfer it over from another shop. It’s just that I will need to trouble Miss Ling to wait for a few days.”

“You actually have it.” Ling Chuxi was a little surprised. “Your Ning He Hall indeed lives up to its name.”

Gao Wentian laughed lightly in humility. “Doing business. Just to earn a living. Turning his head, he instructed the attendant, “Go and wrap up these herbs that Miss Ling needs.”

Noticing his action, Ling Chuxi smiled. “Eh, I haven’t asked the price yet. If I can’t afford them, then just forget it.”

“Including Tian Xing Gra.s.s, the total is three thousand taels,” replied Gao Wentian, smiling too. “Three thousand taels… it wouldn’t be that Miss Ling doesn’t have this much, would it? You are the winner of White Stone Academy’s last experiential compet.i.tion.”

Looking at Gao Wentian’s smiling face, Ling Chuxi smiled playfully in return. What exactly was being sold in Gao Wentian’s gourd? Just three thousand taels?! One needed to know that any of the herbs here were no less than three thousand taels. Furthermore, Tian Xing Gra.s.s was worth a city!

Not only was Gao Wentian not being calculative over the fact that she had bullied Gao Rongrong, now he even offered her such a big favour. Why was it so?
