Chapter 269 - Know This, Know That (2/2)

After confirming that Lan Xinyu had accepted this fact, Ling Chuxi finally let go as she said with a pout, “However, now we don’t have money and can’t even buy herbs. How annoying. Quickly think, of who else can lend us some money.”

“Ling Chuxi… You… You are practically a freak! You know this and you know that!” exclaimed Lan Xinyu as she stretched out a trembling finger to point at Ling Chuxi. “You are practically an outstanding genius that really makes people so angry. I really wish to slash you to death with a single blow! How are other people expected to live?”

“Talk less nonsense, why don’t you! Now we don’t have money to buy herbs. Why don’t I borrow some money from that princess disciple of mine…” said Ling Chuxi as she started to think of the fifth princess. Fu Chengyu’s money had all been used up for the ma.s.sive bets they placed, so it seemed like the only one who had money right now was the fifth princess.

“Yes, yes, that is a good idea,” agreed Lan Xinyu as she nodded vigorously. Tian Luo Pill, oh, Tian Luo Pill! If she could take a Tian Luo Pill and be promoted, how nice would that be?

“Miss Ling Chuxi, why are you here? Are you here to buy herbs again?” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Ling Chuxi turned around to take a look and immediately saw the young master of the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce, Gao Wentian. This medical hall also belonged to the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce.

“Young Master Gao, how do you do,” said Ling Chuxi as she smiled at Gao Wentian.

“Miss Ling Chuxi, what herbs do you need?” enquired Gao with a businessman-standard smile still plastered on his face.

“The same few as the last time. But the thing is, I don’t have money right now,” replied Ling Chuxi with a shrug.

“This…” Gao Wentian thought about it before he continued, “If you don’t have money right now, it’s fine. I can sell these herbs to Miss Ling on credit.”

“That good?” asked Lan Xinyu who was listening from the side with widened eyes.

“However, I would like to ask Miss Ling about something,” said Gao Wentian with a smile as he made a gesture inviting them inside. “Why don’t we go upstairs to have a chat?”
