"Mr. Zhu, watch your attitude!" Du Kai Bo said coldly. Zhu Guangqing pursed his lips, realizing he had been impulsive. Even though they were rather detached, they ultimately depended on the state for their existence. It was okay for him to have a bad attitude, but he couldn’t go too far with his words or actions. Today’s behavior was too much; if his master found out, he’d surely scold him. Seeing Zhu Guangqing soften his stance, Du Kai Bo did not dare to press further. He had never liked him and now felt no guilt at all. Zhu Guangqing coughed lightly and said, "Can I meet your military advisor?" Du Kai Bo composed himself and nodded. Zhu Guangqing walked into Wu Yuekai’s room and saw Wu Yuekai looking healthy, his breathing steady and strong, not at all like someone who was ill. Wu Yuekai’s general condition had been explained by Jiang and Huai just now, and he didn’t look like he’d been poisoned. "Is he completely cured?" Zhu Guangqing asked. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 "Not yet, the toxins have only been completely cleared from his organs," Jiang and Huai stepped forward to say. He came over because of Du Kai Bo’s signal, even though he was unwilling. At the time Ma Yuan interacted with Beisitian, everyone was envious, but now the main character had arrived, and nobody wanted to engage. "Are the other areas not resolved?" Zhu Guangqing retorted. "There’s a solution, Doctor Bei left a lot of medicine before she left," Jiang and Huai replied. Jiang and Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very displeased with Zhu Guangqing’s commanding demeanor, regardless of his abilities, his attitude was quite irksome. Ma Yuan, with two others, brought over a dozen packs of medicine powder and spread them on the table. Du Kai Bo watched as Zhu Guangqing casually picked up a pack of the medicine powder and opened it, he quickly took two steps forward. If Zhu Guangqing did anything undesirable or claimed something wrong with the medicine powder, he would immediately take it back. No matter what Zhu Guangqing said, as long as the medicine worked on the military advisor, they would continue using it! Beisitian’s actions were observed by them all. Even if she wasn’t Tao Hailin’s disciple, everyone could see she was careful and meticulous, earnest in treating the advisor. If she had any ill intentions, not a single person present would believe it! Zhu Guangqing opened it casually, but upon seeing the medicine powder, a sharpness flashed in his eyes, and his face became solemn. "It’s talisman powder!" Zhu Guangqing had always thought that the so-called Doctor Bei was a fraud, but he didn’t expect the medicine left behind to truly be talisman powder. Zhu Guangqing tasted a tiny bit, carefully savoring it. Du Kai Bo frowned, wanting to say that the medicine was measured and shouldn’t be wasted carelessly, but seeing Zhu Guangqing only took a bit, he held back his words. Everyone watched Zhu Guangqing as he placed the medicine powder into his mouth yet remained still for quite a while. They exchanged glances as if asking what lay behind his actions. Zhu Guangqing found something increasingly wrong as he tasted it; the feeling of the talisman powder was too familiar! This familiarity could only mean one thing—the person who made this talisman powder was from the same sect as they were! Yet, there were very few people in their sect, all of whom he knew, and there wasn’t any twenty-something young woman among them! But these soldiers wouldn’t possibly deceive him in this matter, so what was going on? "These are indeed talisman powders. Since they work, you can continue using them as the previous person advised," Zhu Guangqing opened his eyes and said to Du Kai Bo. Du Kai Bo and the others were taken aback; Zhu Guangqing’s attitude seemed different—is it because of tasting the medicine powder? Zhu Guangqing carefully wrapped the talisman powders and earnestly handed them back to Ma Yuan, saying, "My master coming might still want to examine these talisman powders." Ma Yuan nodded, this was undeniable. Now Zhu Guangqing had acknowledged the efficacy of the talisman powders, Du Kai Bo and the others could continue using them without a second thought, but a mist seemed to linger in their minds. Who exactly is Beisitian! Zhu Guangqing waited anxiously for Tao Hailin’s arrival. Beisitian left Shichahai and departed Beijing that very night, only contacted Luo Xuhua when she arrived in Anding City, naturally getting scolded by him. Shao Simin heard those two had left and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing the most that they’d be entangled with these poor relatives. Seeing Luo Xuhua leave, Shao Simin relaxed and smiled at Lian Shufang who came to visit, "Although my Xuhua came from the countryside, he has capabilities. He’s worked hard enough on his own to have property and a company in Guangzhou, and now also in Beijing. He plans to expand to Shanghai once things stabilize." "Your Xuhua indeed has abilities!" Lian Shufang laughed. "What about his brother?" "He’s a soldier, some kind of deputy sergeant. But these days, what’s the future for soldiers? Eventually, he’ll face transitioning, and the army would arrange a stable job. If he goes to a bank, it’s the most impressive outcome. What great prospects can there be?" Shao Simin shook her head. Previously, many transitioning soldiers were assigned to banks; each felt it was a great deal. Indeed, banks were hard to get into for ordinary folks, but for people like them doing big business, banks were nothing special. "I’m telling you, the fear is being entangled with these poor relatives. We’re city folk, after all, can’t let Xuhua lose face, so always treated them with fine dishes and good wine." Shao Simin laughed. No matter what she thought inside, she was impeccable in manners, though there was some showing-off there. Lian Shufang chuckled in agreement, watching her precious son run over with toys, about to say something, when she saw the boy’s pocket stuffed with a hundred-yuan bill, nearly falling out, she said: "Little Shao, your family is truly wealthy, but can’t casually give money to kids like that. What if this one hundred yuan gets lost, how distressing!" Shao Simin was taken aback, what one hundred yuan given to the child? Her son was only eight, giving him one yuan was about right, how could he have one hundred? Following Lian Shufang’s gaze, Shao Simin saw the hundred-yuan bill, immediately stunned, then furious, pulled Luo Jiacheng over and smacked his bottom twice, "Tell me, where did this money come from?" Luo Jiacheng was suddenly smacked, feeling wronged, tears welled up in his eyes. Hearing Shao Simin’s words, he reluctantly took out the money, along with a small red packet. "Aunt gave me the red packet, didn’t you tell me to keep it myself?" Luo Jiacheng said with his lips pouted, on the verge of tears. Shao Simin widened her eyes, Beisitian gave the child a hundred-yuan red packet?! At the time, she thought it wouldn’t be much, maybe five or ten yuan at most and didn’t even look at it, just threw it to the child to hold, never expecting it to be a hundred! "There’s another one." Luo Jiacheng, young and honest, opened the packet to reveal another one-hundred-yuan bill inside. Altogether, it’s two hundred! Beisitian actually gave their child a red packet with two hundred! Lian Shufang wanted to roll her eyes, these are the poor relatives she talked about? If that’s poverty, then what could wealth be!
