Wei Ruo continued, “What Master Zhu seeks is inner wealth, but what the common people seek is merely to live. The emptiness of one’s inner world only arises when there is no material deprivation or severe illness or disaster. This might be why Master Zhu had such reflections after experiencing life and death, for this was a situation you had never faced before.

Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo, somewhat surprised and pleased. Her words seemed to have cleared the fog in his heart.

■■I didn’t expect Master Xu to have such insights at a young age.” Zhu Zongyu looked at Wei Ruo, a smile in his eyes.

-It’s not about age, it’s about experience. If you continue to understand the difficulties of survival, your thoughts might be different. Of course, it’s always a good thing to live in abundance, which many people can’t achieve. And your reflection after experiencing life and death could also be seen as an unexpected gain.” Wei Ruo explained to Zhu Zongyu.

Zhu Zongyu looked at the person in front of him, feeling something exceedingly special.

Despite being younger, his actions and thoughts evoked a sense of admiration

in him.

He never held such views towards anyone. Xu Heyou was the first.

At this time, the person who went to Zuixian Residence to deliver the letter came back, bringing the shopkeeper, Shen, with him.

Shopkeeper Shen, upon seeing Wei Ruo was taken aback at first because the Wei Ruo he had previously met had a big beard, whereas the one today did not.

However, this only lasted for a moment. Shopkeeper Shen quickly realized that the young Master must have been worried about appearing too young and lacking authority when discussing business matters, hence he intentionally disguised himself with a false beard.

He had previously thought that the young master looked a bit odd with so much beard at such a young age, and now it made sense.

After regaining his composure, Shen, the shopkeeper handed over the silver note of eight hundred taels that Fan Chengxu had entrusted him with: “Master Xu, this is what my Master asked me to hand over to you.

Wei Ruo took the silver note and appeared visibly surprised when he saw the amount.

An eight hundred taels of silver? Isn’t this too much?

Wei Ruo turned his head to look at Zhu Zongyu, whose face was wrapped in bandages, leaving only his eyes visible. And those eyes were unreadable at the moment.

“Are you very close to Master Fan?” Wei Ruo asked.

Otherwise, how could a simple letter exchange for so much silver?

“Our relationship is not deep. Master Fan’s act is most likely due to his trust in my credibility.” Zhu Zongyu explained.

Wei Ruo half believed it and continued to ask shopkeeper Shen, “Did your master say anything else?”

Shopkeeper Shen replied, “My master said, Master Xu can write down whatever medicinal materials he needs, and the master will instruct someone to purchase them.”

Wei Ruo may not have the means or connections to obtain those precious and rare medicinal materials, but Fan Chengxu should have them.

“Good, I’ll write it for you now.”

Wei Ruo called Manager Yu over, got some paper and pen, and then had

Manager Yu write as Wei Ruo dictated.

Wei Ruo’s handwriting was easily recognizable, so when dealing with outsiders in the guise of Xu Heyou, Wei Ruo would not personally write.

After writing, Wei Ruo checked the list once more before handing it to shopkeeper Shen.

Shopkeeper Shen carefully pocketed the list, and then politely asked Wei Ruo, “Does Master Xu have any other instructions?”

“No.”

“Then I’ll go back and report to my master.”

“Alright, thank you.” Wei Ruo replied.
