“Once the Tian Xing Grass arrives, I will instruct my men to send it over immediately,” said Gao Wentian with a smile. “Miss Ling, please rest assured regarding this matter.”

Ling Chuxi also smiled. “Young Master Gao, I will remember this big favour you have given to me. Thank you.”

“There’s no need to be worried about it.” Gao Wentian’s smile was formal from start to end.

In the end, Ling Chuxi paid the three thousand taels and left with some of the herbs she needed. After Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen left, the shopkeeper standing behind Gao Wentian was full of questions.

Finally, he could not keep his mouth shut and asked, “Young Master, I don’t understand. Why did you try to win over such an unknown young maiden? She merely defeated Lan Xinyu, that’s all. Her cultivation does not appear to be very strong, nor does she have a reputable background.”

This shopkeeper was Gao Wentian’s confidante. His position in the Gao family could not be considered low, and thus he dared to ask such a question. To him, Ling Chuxi was truly not worth his master’s efforts.

If one were to talk about background, hers was of no significance. And her so-called backers were not really that reliable either. Although the fifth princess was pampered, she did not have any actual power.

Mu Liufeng was even more unpredictable. He was merely a strong cultivator, that’s all. If something were to happen to Ling Chuxi, would he even bother to step up and fight for someone who was only a disciple in name?

No matter how he looked at it, the young master’s transaction was a loss. Forget three thousand taels, the herbs she bought were worth even more than 30,000 taels. Especially the Tian Xing Grass, it wasn’t so easily bought with just money.

“I’m taking a gamble,” said Gao Wentian. All trace of his earlier smile was gone. At the moment, his face was cold and calm as he spoke seriously, “Win her over? This term you use is incorrect. I just wish to give Ling Chuxi some benefits, then hopefully, she will repay us a little one day.”

“Huh?” asked the shopkeeper. He was lost, unable to comprehend what Gao Wentian meant.

The herbs Ling Chuxi bought were precious herbs, but he could not figure out what she bought them for. He had never heard of her being able to refine pills or of her knowing an expert who could. What was she buying them for?

He just could not see what it was about her that made the young master look at her differently. The other day, he had seen how the young miss had returned home crying. He never thought that the young master would have no intention of requesting for an explanation on her behalf. And what’s more, the young master even treated Ling Chuxi in such a courteous manner. He was totally unable to comprehend.

Gao Wentian looked at the shopkeeper and let out a small laugh. “You can’t make sense of it, can you?”

The shopkeeper very honestly nodded.

“If you could understand, then you would be the young master of the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce and not me,” said Gao Wentian with a smirk.

The shopkeeper shook his head in fear, stunned silly, not knowing what to say next. Gao Wentian did not mind the shopkeeper’s attitude. He was not very bright, but he was incredibly loyal. This trait of his was something Gao Wentian was satisfied with, and he was also willing to say a little more to dispel his doubts.

As he stood up, Gao Wentian’s expression became grim. “I am a businessman, and also a gambler. I’m taking a gamble that Ling Chuxi will have big achievements in the future. When that time comes, there would be no need to hope for her repayment. Just hoping that she does not put us in a difficult situation would be sufficient.”

“Huh? Young Master, will this Ling Chuxi really have big achievements in the future?” asked the shopkeeper, frowning to indicate his doubt.

“That’s why I said I am taking a gamble.”

Smiling, Gao Wentian ignored the lost shopkeeper and returned to the back of the hall. The shopkeeper was left alone standing at his original spot, scratching his head in confusion.

Finally, he decided to stop thinking about since he could not understand. No matter what, the young master’s decision was always right. Just like the young master said, if he could understand the young master’s thinking, the he would not be just a shopkeeper who had to work hard.

His own young master was a top-notch wise man!
