CHAPTER 55: Mandarin Duck Parent-Child Jade [Eighth Update!]
A hearty laugh rang out as Sha Xinliang's shiny bald head appeared in front of Chu Yang, rushing down with urgency. He grabbed Chu Yang's hands with both of his and exclaimed, "Little brother, hahaha, why are you back so soon? Come on, let’s go in for some tea. We just had lunch here this morning, let’s have a good drink together!"
Before Chu Yang could respond, he was pulled inside with immense enthusiasm.
The two law enforcers on duty at the entrance immediately had their eyes pop out.
! Is this really our cold-faced, black-hearted Commander Sha? He has always had a stern demeanor, treating everyone with indifference. Even when the heads of the three major noble families come, Commander Sha looks down on them with arrogance.
Why is it that today, upon seeing this young man, he acts as if he has met his long-lost father? Even the last time the chief enforcer came, Commander Sha did not behave like this!
Upon hearing that Chu Yang had arrived, Qin Baoshan, who had been healing nearby, also came out with a hearty laugh, embracing Chu Yang tightly with a sense of surprise akin to "Not seeing you for a day feels like three autumns": "Little brother! Hahaha, my little brother, you’re finally here! Your big brother has missed you so much..."
Chu Yang felt a layer of goosebumps rise on his skin: I just left here, and it hasn’t even been a full day and night...
Sha Xinliang had already prepared the tea quickly, smiling as he said, "Little brother, come sit down! I was just playing chess with Old Qin, that old rascal. Losing at chess and refusing to pay up, it’s really no fun playing with him."
Qin Baoshan retorted angrily, "You clearly stole one of my pieces!..."
Chu Yang quickly waved his hands, interrupting their bickering, and frowned with concern, saying, "I say... brothers, what are you doing like this? Your medicine… is of utmost urgency, yet you still have the leisure to stay at home playing chess? This this this..."
Chu Yang was a bit exasperated, stamping his foot and saying, "This... what kind of behavior is this?"
He was genuinely furious!
Seeing Chu Yang truly worried about them, Qin Baoshan and Sha Xinliang exchanged a glance, both feeling touched. Qin Baoshan spoke gently, "Little brother, don’t worry. Hehe, with our identities, such trivial medicinal materials, why would we need to do it ourselves? Everything has already been arranged."
Sha Xinliang added with a smile, "If the arrangements weren’t good, we wouldn’t have the mind to play chess either."
Chu Yang's eyes brightened; this time he was genuinely surprised, saying, "So, the Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom and Nine Heavens Jade Spirit Liquid have been found?"
Qin Baoshan nodded, saying, "Those two types of medicine are indeed hard to find, but we still have a bit of this channel."
He smiled proudly and said, "The Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom and Nine Heavens Jade Spirit Liquid are classified as heavenly materials and earthly treasures. They can’t be found elsewhere. We contacted the Medicine Valley and the Zhuge Clan overnight. Fortunately, the Medicine Valley has the Nine Heavens Jade Spirit Liquid! And the Zhuge family has two Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushrooms among the medicinal materials they’ve been collecting for the Myriad Medicine Convention over the years!"
Sha Xinliang sighed, saying, "We both are somewhat abusing our power, using the name of the Law Enforcement Hall to buy medicine. They are somewhat giving a bit of face to the Law Enforcement Hall, making things a bit smoother. Otherwise, if we had to search for them ourselves, who knows how long it would take…"
"Now I see." Chu Yang nodded and smiled with relief, "Then I can rest assured. I assume you two brothers must have spent a lot of money, huh?"
"Spending money? That won’t do!" Sha Xinliang said with a bit of pain, "That’s all Amethyst! The Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom cost only five thousand Amethyst, but for my Nine Heavens Jade Spirit Liquid, the folks at the Medicine Valley demanded a whole ten thousand Amethyst! They wouldn’t lower the price, a full ten thousand Amethyst! I’ve spent all my ill-gotten gains over the years and even borrowed three thousand from Old Qin."
