Li Qingrong picked up a red bean pastry from the table, took a bite, and turned to Jiang Yuetong, saying, "Judging from his expression, he probably knows you."
Who fawns over guests like that?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong shook her head and chuckled softly.
"Never mind, if we really have this privilege, we can have them send the Ghost Root you want over ahead of time."
Li Qingrong's eyes lit up immediately.
That way, she won't have to worry about not getting the Ghost Root.
Once she finds more herbs to treat the cold poison, she can go to the Medicine Sect to ask a ninth-grade alchemist to refine a pill, and Song Yunqian and Lü Jingliang will be cured!
If it weren't for the fact that a ninth-grade alchemist only gives one pill after each batch of herbs is successfully refined, they wouldn't have needed to find two batches of antidote herbs.
Thinking of this, Li Qingrong couldn't help but sigh.
Not knowing why she suddenly became depressed, Jiang Yuetong turned around and beckoned the person guarding the door, telling him to go find the manager from before and tell him that they needed the Ghost Root.
Please deliver it to them in advance.
As for spirit stones, they won't lose money.
After everyone left, Jiang Yuetong slowly got up and walked to the specially made glass, where she could see everything inside the building.
Those outside cannot see what is happening inside, and the identities of the auctioneers on the second floor and above are kept secret from outsiders.
This is also to prevent being robbed or killed by others on the way back after taking pictures.
Not long after, just as the auction was about to begin, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
The manager then pushed open the door, and a man behind him followed, carrying a box in his hand, and carefully placed it on the table.
The steward approached Jiang Yuetong and said respectfully, "This is the Ghost Root that our distinguished guest requested. Of the three, this one is the oldest. I've brought it to you."
Jiang Yuetong gazed indifferently at the auction that had already begun below, saying without even looking up, "Well, just name your price in spirit stones."
The manager's smile visibly froze for a moment.
After receiving no response for a long time, Jiang Yuetong glanced at him sideways, her brows furrowing slightly: "Hmm?"
Upon seeing this, the manager quickly apologized.
Jiang Yuetong found him somewhat inexplicable, then took out a card from her spatial storage and handed it over. Inside was a full ten thousand spirit stones, enough to buy a Ghost Root.
The manager hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took it.
Just as he turned around, as if he had mustered up his courage, he looked back at Jiang Yuetong and asked cautiously, "Master, do you really not remember your subordinate?"
Upon hearing this form of address, Jiang Yuetong scrutinized the manager and asked indifferently, "Whose person are you?"
The master indeed did not recognize him.
Guan Shi's face fell, and as if she had thought of something, she quickly took out an identity jade token and a small porcelain bottle from her storage bag and presented them to her with both hands.
"Back in Yaoshui Forest, it was you, Master, who saved me and my brothers. You even let us manage the shops by Young Master Lu's side."
Only after confirming that the jade token in his hand belonged to someone from Huanhai Prefecture did Jiang Yuetong notice the small porcelain bottle beside him.
These small porcelain bottles are what she uses to store elixirs of grade five or lower.
As certain images flashed through her mind, Jiang Yuetong's brows relaxed, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes as she said, "So it was you, a member of the Poison Wolf Gang."
The manager nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
The master still remembers him, even though he hasn't been able to show his face to the master all these years.
As if remembering something, Jiang Yuetong silently reached out to take back the card he was holding.
Manager: "..."
It turns out that the master's greedy nature hasn't changed.
