“How about this? 1’11 go with you. If anything happens, I can bear the responsibility for you.”
Zhao Xiyao was three years older than Shangguan Xuelan. They did not grow up together, but they were more like sisters. Now that Shangguan Xuelan had encountered such a thing, how could she stand by and watch?
“Then are you going to the main family’s medicine hall to buy medicine later?” Shangguan Xuelan nodded and replied, “The herbs that 1 want this time are only be sold at the main family. My family’s warehouse doesn’t have any.” Then, she brought Zhao Xiyao to Han Xing and said, “This is my best friend. We will go get the medicine together later.”
Han Xing naturally did not have any objections, but Zhao Xiyao’s face was a little worried. Shangguan Xuelan was not a member of the main Shangguan family, but a branch family. The main family had always looked down on these branch family descendants. Otherwise, they would not have allowed them to stay in this remote Rainbow City.
However, Shangguan Xuelan had a simple nature and would not consider these twists and turns at all. At the thought of going to the main house to get the medicine later, she said excitedly, “I still have 500,000 yuan left from the money you gave me last time.”
“Don’t worry, it’s definitely enough to buy medicine this time!”
Han Xing also wanted to laugh. It was the first time that a doctor like Shangguan Xuelan had thought about her patients. It was no wonder that she would become one of the most powerful doctors in the future.
“Don’t worry. If you don’t have enough money, tell me at any time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Xuelan lectured him seriously, “Your sister’s situation is not optimistic. There are still many places to burn money in the future. Save as much as you can, understand?”
Han Xing was touched by her words, but earning money was not difficult. He could easily get millions of dollars by selling the trash in his hands.
Moreover, this was only the price given by the auction house. If he sold it privately, he would only earn more. Unfortunately, he did not have the time or effort to do so.
Shangguan Xuelan’s family was very famous in the country. She also had a medicine shop in Rainbow City. The location of the establishment was in this wealthy district. This kind of family hall sold rare medicinal herbs that ordinary people could not afford.
The further the three of them went in, the more curious Zhao Xiyao became about Han Xing. If an ordinary person saw such a luxurious scene, they would have looked around. However, Han Xing’s eyes did not have any emotion, and the aura on his body was not something ordinary people had.
Could it be that this man was a descendant of some big clan? Zhao Xiyao rejected the idea as soon as she thought of it. If he really was a descendant of some big clan, it was impossible for her to not have seen him before, much less ask Shangguan Xuelan for help at a time like this.
These big clans and forces were all intertwined. It was even easier for them to find good doctors.
Could he be a hidden family member of some clan? Or rather, this man had been trying to get close to Shangguan Xuelan from the beginning.
The more Zhao Xiyao thought about it, the more wary she became of Han Xing. But in fact, Han Xing had no interest in these things.
On one hand, he had already experienced extreme luxury in his previous life. Previously, he knew that his old guild was one of the most powerful existences in the Second World. The entire guild was built to be extremely extravagant.
On the other hand, even though the Han Family started from scratch, they were still very famous in Rainbow City. Han Xing had attended all kinds of celebrity banquets and was no longer interested in these things.
After walking for more than half an hour, he saw antique buildings one after another. The medicine hall built by the Shangguan family was quite charming. Han Xing looked at the two big statues of lions in front of the door and could not help but sigh.
There weren’t many people in the medicine hall today. There were also some elderly people who came to exercise. These people were the leaders of some families and were now enjoying their lives here.
Shangguan Xuelan didn’t even bother to greet them. She led Han Xing into the medicine hall. As soon as she entered, she saw her uncle, Shangguan Jin, arranging batches of medicine at the counter.
She walked over excitedly and raised her head. She said, “Uncle, I’m here to buy medicine!”
Shangguan Jin glanced at her and said in an indifferent tone, “If there’s anything you need, go and tell the staff beside you.”
“Those workers don’t have that much authority. I want all five stalks of blood-replenishing grass in the warehouse.”
“Five?” Shangguan Jin, who was sorting out the medicinal herbs, paused. He said, “After consuming the blood-replenishing herb, you need to use Nineteen Needle techniques to supplement its medicinal effects. That acupuncture technique is extremely difficult. If you can’t practice it well, don’t waste the medicinal herbs.”
Shangguan Jin actually had his own selfish motives. He had specially left the blood-replenishing grass for his son. His son was only one year older than Shangguan Xuelan, but his talent was still inferior to the branch family’s descendants. How could he not be anxious?
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xuelan’s words almost made him faint.
“It’s not difficult! That acupuncture technique is very simple. I’m already familiar with it now. I’m just missing the blood-replenishing herb.”
Shangguan Jin did not expect her to be so skilled at using needles at the age of 19. His son had not even memorized all the acupuncture techniques. That was three to four hundred degrees of cross-application of silver needles.
His heart was filled with frustration, and he rejected her straightforwardly, “No! This blood-replenishing herb has already been reserved by the main family in advance. It’s definitely impossible for them to give it to you.” Shangguan Xuelan exploded when she heard this!
“Uncle, you’re tricking me again! If the main family has already made a reservation, how can these herbs stay in the branch family’s medicinal hall?” “It’s clearly you who won’t give it to me!”
Shangguan Jin wasn’t annoyed that his thoughts had been exposed. Instead, he snorted and said, “if you have the ability, go and tell the people in the main family yourself. 1’11 see if they’ll give it to you!”
Shangguan Xuelan was furious, but she knew the temperament of the main family. They would never give it to her, a branch family member. Even if she wanted to buy it, they would never sell it to her.
Han Xing didn’t expect the Shangguan Family to have such a strange way of doing things. He went up to them and said, “Mr. Shangguan, I really need this medicine. Miss Shangguan is the doctor I hired. As for the medicine, 1 will pay for it no matter how much it costs.”
It would have been fine if he hadn’t said this, but the moment he did, it made Shangguan Jin even angrier. It was his business to teach Shangguan Xuelan a lesson. How could a nameless junior like him have the right to talk to him?
A really capable family would have long invited the Shangguan family to see a doctor. What kind of person would invite someone from the branch family to be their doctor?
Thinking of this, he looked at Han Xing from head to toe and smiled sarcastically.
“Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak in my Shangguan family? To tell you the truth, our Shangguan family only sells medicinal herbs to the rich and noble.”
“Look at you, you poor wretch. Do you know how much five pieces of blood-replenishing grass are worth? 1 piece is 100,000 yuan. 5 pieces costs 500,000 yuan and that would be your lifetime worth of income!”
“And you’re even hanging out with my niece. With her capabilities, only trash like you would be interested in her..”
