Chapter 67 -67: What Connection Do You Have with Her?

“I have another favor to ask of you, Manager Zhuang.”

“Princess Consort, please feel free to speak.”

Chu Nanli asked for paper and pen and made a list of medicinal herbs for Zhuang Lin.

Not only did it include the herbs she had listed for Chu Yi, but it also contained many other ingredients needed for concocting different medicinal pills. Firstly, she genuinely needed them, and secondly, it was to throw Zhuang Lin off the scent so he wouldn’t catch on to her need for pregnancy-preserving herbs.

“I would like to ask Manager Zhuang to keep an eye out for these herbs, as I am interested in purchasing them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Lin took the list and glanced at it, saying, “Many of these are priceless and hard to find. However, since Xuanbao Pavilion is known as the number one Auction House in the Xia Kingdom, we have the confidence to take on this task.”

Since the Auction House already had about a dozen of the listed herbs, Zhuang Lin called someone to get them and gave Chu Nanli a discounted price.

Having paid the money, the auction fee for the newly acquired pills was spent.

But Chu Nanli didn’t mind in the slightest; after all, she now had the means of earning through alchemy, and she had also received a large sum from Ye Yunting.

“I’m very grateful for your assistance today, Manager Zhuang, and it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Chu Nanli thanked him once again, planning to leave with Chu Yi.

Zhuang Lin personally escorted the two out.

To avoid drawing attention, they took the side door, which led to a secret passage that went directly outside.

At that moment, it was the intermission of the auction and the sound of idle chatter from the auction hall came over faintly.

“Buddy, I just got here, who’s this Divine Doctor Liuli everyone’s talking about? Why have I never heard of her before?”

“You don’t know about Liuli? Let me fill you in; you really missed out by not coming earlier. Miss Liuli, younger than Manager Zhuang, is already a top-tier alchemist. Even Manager Zhuang personally vouches for her!”

“Could she be even better than Divine Doctor Bai Wuheng?”

“That’s hard to say since they’ve never met. But considering their ages, Miss Liuli is younger than Bai Wuheng, so I guess her talent is even more exceptional.”

“What does this Miss Liuli look like?”

“She hasn’t shown her face, so we don’t know. But with such a pristine and clear name, she must be a great beauty.”

Zhuang Lin chuckled softly in the secret passage, “They aren’t wrong in what they say.”

Although Chu Nanli felt she was quite attractive, she was too modest to praise herself.

Seeing her reaction, Zhuang Lin did not continue to tease her and swiftly changed the topic, saying, “After the auction, more and more people will know about Liuli. Princess Consort, your intelligence and clever strategy of building fame through the auction are indeed effective.”

“You flatter me.”

Chu Nanli smiled politely.

After sending them out of the Auction House, Zhuang Lin returned to the third floor.

The man was still there.

As soon as Zhuang Lin opened his mouth, a smile nearly split his face, “You truly are my god of wealth. That girl is sharp as ice and snow, with high talent in alchemy. I have a feeling that working with her will double both the reputation and the revenue of Xuanbao Pavilion.”

The masked man didn’t speak, but a flicker of amusement passed through his eyes.

Zhuang Lin was used to his man of few words demeanor and did not expect a response to his chatter. After sitting down and sipping tea, he took out the list of herbs Chu Nanli had given him.

“These are the herbs Miss Chu requested.”

His words carried a hint of testing the man’s attitude towards Chu Nanli.

“Do your best to assist her. If there’s news about the herbs, I’ll have Tianji Pavilion inform you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Lin’s eyes lit up, and he boldly asked, “What’s your relationship with this girl? Surely it’s not that you’ve taken a fancy to her, especially since she’s already married.”

The man stood up, his black robe sweeping over the chair, his tall figure slender as bamboo. His lips beneath the mask curled slightly, “I must go back now.”

With that, he left the private room.

Zero emerged from the shadows and followed behind him.

In the room, Zhuang Lin touched his nose: “Just as I thought, I didn’t find out anything.”
