88 "I Dont Have The Herb, You Have It!" (1/2)
”I am just a step away from my goal now!” Jun Wu Yi could feel his heart beating faster with excitement.
”I can’t delay any further!”
Jun Mo Xie stood up and headed off for Tang Yuan immediately. He was afraid that clumsy Fatty Tang might damage the herb if he were to delay any further. It would cost the Jun Family a lot of time and money if he had to personally search for the rare herb again, not to mention the mental turmoil and painstaking effort required to find it. Hence, the longer the delay, the higher chance of the troubles he had to face.
Sitting in a sedan, Jun Mo Xie stretched and laid down. The sedan gradually approached the Tang Residence. When he came to the gate, he was greeted by the sight of a large round meatball-shaped person walking out from within the residence. Donned in a skin-colored gown, Tang Yuan, the Tang Family’s young master, was truly dressed in a unique fashion today. Had the gown been smaller by several inches, he would have been easily mistaken as a meatball and be served on the dinner table!
”Brother, what brings you here today? Have you fully recovered from your injuries yet? You were probably too bored and that’s why you came over wanting to play with me, right?” Tang Yuan asked with a pleased look painted on his face. He sounded a little concerned, but his actions and words suggested sheer joy and sincerity!
”I am here to visit you,” Jun Mo Xie peered out of his sedan window and continued, ”Why, are you going somewhere else?”
”Yes! I’m going to the Magnificent Jewel Hall to bid for some items! There are actually some good items on display today. Grandfather asked me to get one of those items.” Tang Yuan reached into his robes and pulled out a large stack of money, waving it in the air. He laughed heartily, his face resembling the shape of a Buddha. ”This time around, I am being asked to spend. Look! Such a huge stack of money. After getting the item Grandfather requested for, there would certainly be a large amount remaining for me to spend on. Jun Mo Xie, shall we go to the Thousand Gold Hall to play a few games afterward?”
”You won’t use your wife as the mortgage again, right?” Jun Mo Xie asked jokingly.
”Hey, Jun Mo Xie, if you are my brother, don’t mention such things again.” Tang Yuan’s large white face grew dark in annoyance. ”I was set up by others back then! If the game had been played under normal circumstances, I would already be known as the legendary Gambling God!”
”I would rather believe in ghosts than to take in the words coming out from that broken mouth of yours!” Jun Mo Xie snorted. The next moment, Jun Mo Xie turned serious again. Ignoring the pitiful look that appeared on Tang Yuan, Jun Mo Xie said directly, ”Don’t rush off so soon eagerly. I have something important to ask you today.”
”What’s the matter? Tell me all your worries!” Tang Yuan asked as he watched Jun Mo Xie earnestly.
”I heard that you bought three strands of Nine Leaf Grass from Jin Xiang Trading Company. I need the Nine Leaf Grass very urgently as it is needed to cure my injury. Hand it over to me now!” Jun Mo Xie demanded boldly from Tang Yuan.
”Who did you hear this from? I feel maligned! I have always been disgusted by those leaf, grass or herb-related items! Don’t you know that?” Tang Yuan said vehemently, his face flushing red. ”Since when have I bought this herb? Be it Nine Leaf Grass or Seven Leaf Grass, I simply have no clue about it!”
Jun Mo Xie’s heart sank and continued to challenge his friend, ”Tang Yuan, you have no clue about it? I came all the way here to ask you and yet you tell me you have no clue about it? Do you still want your priced jade and sword back? I shall throw them into the sewage pit the moment I get back!”
”But I really don’t know what it is!” Tang Yuan jumped in place anxiously. ”Brother, how would I dare to lie to you? If anyone dares to cheat you, they must be the stupidest and most foolish person ever...Oh? Jin Xiang Trading Company?”
All of a sudden, Fatty Tang’s eyes widened and he cried out, ”Oh my goodness! Jun Mo Xie, did you just mention Jin Xiang Trading Company?”
”You are not deaf, are you?” Jun Mo Xie snapped as he glared at Fatty Tang, wondering what he was up to again, even though Fatty Tang did not seem to be fooling with him.
”That is one of the businesses owned by my family!” Tang Yuan said, his cheeks puffed up and his eyes widened even more. ”I have only bought herbs once in my entire life, and it was bought for you! Just five days ago, I went to our very own Jin Xiang Trading Company drugstore to search for it, before sending it to the Jun Residence…”
Tang Yuan continued, ”And coincidentally, a new batch of stocks arrived at the store that day. I had no clue what those goods were, but according to the manager, those were high-quality goods. So I simply bought all of those products, stuffed them into crates, and sent them all to your place. If you’re telling me that I actually bought this Nine Something Leaf, it would probably be in your house right now.”
”Huh?” Upon hearing this, Jun Mo Xie’s jaws dropped. ”Didn’t you send some Hundred Jin Hoist or something that day?”
