Chapter 40: Chapter 40 News of a Centennial Herbal Medicine

"Is that really true?" Dong Yunhua exclaimed with surprise.

Before Xu Yanran could reply, Lin Jiangpu provided the answer, "Shen Qingzhi is indeed cold and indifferent; that is true. From the information I have, she genuinely does not care much about the Shen Family, and even her meetings with her parents are scarce. Today, she probably gave Rose some face, hence, she didn’t settle the score with Su Luo."

He belonged to the Jiangbei Martial Arts Community, and crucially, he was an assassin who mingled in Jiangbei, naturally having a fair understanding of the situation on Zhou Shihao’s side.

"So you mean, if we can find a way to drive a wedge between Rose and Su Luo, making Rose kick him to the curb, then at that time, Su Luo would be completely without support, and no one would care about his life or death."

Dong Yunhua quickly grasped the critical aspect of it.

"But, how can we make Rose get rid of him?" Dong Fei asked.

Xu Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "If Su Luo was caught cheating, with conclusive evidence, do you think Rose would keep him around as her pretty boy?"

Dong Fei’s and Dong Yunhua’s eyes lit up instantly.

Xu Yanran’s point made sense!

"But how can we make Su Luo cheat? He’s now hiding in Qing Zhi Bar, being kept by Rose. In order to live off a woman, he surely wouldn’t dare to mess around," Xu Yanran immediately added.

However, Dong Fei sneered, "In this world, there’s no cat that doesn’t steal fish. Su Luo might not dare to take risks, but what if someone presents themselves on a silver platter and actively seduces him?"

...

Inside the bar.

After the uproar, Su Luo naturally didn’t continue to work as a waiter but was taken by Rose back to her room.

"Sister Rose, thank you for today," Su Luo expressed his gratitude to Rose.

Rose smiled and said, "If you really want to thank someone, thank Shen Jie. If it weren’t for her hint, I would not have slapped Xu Yanran."

"I should thank Aunt Shen as well as you, I am grateful to both," Su Luo smiled and said.

Then, Su Luo asked, "Where is Aunt Shen now?"

"Shen Jie naturally left. Why, with so many people seeing her tonight, you still want her to enter your room?" Rose said annoyedly.

Through her words, Su Luo could tell that Rose definitely knew about his affair with Aunt Shen.

Su Luo shook his head, "Of course not." He was not a fool; he knew well that Aunt Shen should not have more contact with him at this time; he was just trying to inquire about Aunt Shen’s whereabouts.

Laughing, Rose said, "With all the commotion today, everyone now knows you’re my man. From now on, you can come and go at Qing Zhi Bar more freely, and naturally, you’ll have the chance to see Shen Jie again."

Su Luo nodded, "I understand."

He had also guessed that the reason Rose took action today was probably to make a scene, making others believe he was Rose’s man.

This way, it would throw off the people on Zhou Shihao’s side, and even if he had contact with Aunt Shen in the future, it wouldn’t seem out of place.

"As long as you understand. Rest here for now, I’ll be going out," Rose smiled and said.

It had to be said, there was a special charm to Rose’s smile, a bold impression that felt like a breath of spring, mesmerizing in its own way.

This was different from Aunt Shen’s mature allure and also unlike Lin Ruoxi’s cold pride; it was a unique kind of beauty.

After Rose left.

Su Luo didn’t relax. Even though nature’s spiritual energy was thin, it was still better than nothing. Cultivating for the night was better than doing nothing at all.

After all, tonight, he had met Lin Jiangpu.

Su Luo felt a strong murderous intent emanating from him, which gave Su Luo a feeling of palpitations, making him realize that if he were to confront Lin Jiangpu now, he probably wouldn’t have much confidence in winning.

However.

Just as Su Luo was about to begin his cultivation, suddenly, his phone rang.

"Elder Wei?"

When Su Luo picked up the phone, it was actually a call from Wei Hongbo, which instantly excited him.

He quickly answered and immediately asked, "Elder Wei, have you found the hundred-year-old medicinal materials?"

Elder Wei laughed heartily, "It’s like finding something priceless without even looking for it! I only just found out that the Jiangbei Lin Family has a hundred-year-old ginseng, which was brought back yesterday. It was that girl Lin Ruoxi who had someone buy it from Changbai Mountain to nourish Old Lin’s health, but now it’s available."

"Lin Ruoxi?" Su Luo felt a peculiar sense of connection, wondering how it again involved her.

Most importantly, Lin Songbai wanted him to be his granddaughter’s husband. If he were to ask for the hundred-year-old ginseng, wouldn’t it play right into Old Master Lin’s hands, giving him the leverage to make demands?

"I’ve just spoken with Old Lin, and he said if you want that ginseng, you can directly go to the Lin Mansion to get it," Wei Hongbo said.

"Alright, I got it." After thanking Elder Wei, Su Luo hung up the phone.

Then, Su Luo called Lin Songbai.

The phone was picked up almost instantly, and Lin Songbai’s voice came through.

Su Luo gave a wry smile.

Indeed, the old man was just waiting for his call.

"Old Lin, I want to buy the hundred-year-old ginseng you have," Su Luo stated his intention directly, emphasizing that he wanted to purchase it.

Lin Songbai didn’t argue and instead said, "My friend, the hundred-year-old ginseng is with me; come to Lin Mansion to take it."

"Can I come over now?" Su Luo was somewhat eager.

"Of course, you can," Lin Songbai said cheerfully.

After hanging up, Su Luo immediately left his room to find Rose, "Rose, I’m going out for a bit."

In private, out of respect, Su Luo called her Rose Jie. But in public, Su Luo directly addressed her as Rose, since, nominally, he was still her boyfriend.

"Can you drive?" Rose directly took out the car keys, asking Su Luo.

"Yes." Su Luo didn’t bother being polite with Rose and directly took the car keys from her, conveniently avoiding the hassle of taking a taxi.

Of course, he took note of this kindness, intending to repay it in the future.

However, before Su Luo could leave the bar to find Rose’s car, he was entangled by two women.

Two women dressed in crop tops and extremely short shorts, both looking quite attractive, clung to Su Luo.

"Handsome brother, would you like to buy us a drink?"

One of the women said coquettishly, rubbing her chest against Su Luo’s arm as she pressed closer.
