Du Chen thanked Lin Xiaodong repeatedly and was extremely happy holding the Peony King who had come back from the dead.
"Mr. Lin, oh no, Divine Doctor Lin, your medical skills are truly extraordinary, you can even revive dead plants.
Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise my Peony King would have been destroyed by that enemy!"
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand and said: "Master Duchen, you don't have to be polite. I'm just doing it for you. Besides, Qiu Tuding should have been taught a lesson."
Having said this, several people looked around the gathering pavilion and found that Qiu Tuding had run away in despair at some point.
Du Chen spit and cursed: "Qiu Tu can't support this piece of shit. He escaped quickly today.
Otherwise I have to beat him up again.
After this time, I will put him on the blacklist of Peony Garden, and I will never let this kind of thing come in again!"
After muttering a few curses, Du Chen hurriedly complimented Lin Xiaodong: "Of course, Divine Doctor Lin, you will be our guest at Peony Garden from now on. As long as you come, no matter what time it is, my old man will definitely go out to greet you!
"
Seeing his silly look, Lan Ruo asked deliberately: "What about me?"
"Needless to say, Miss Lan Ruo has always been a distinguished guest of my Peony Garden. If it weren't for you, how could our business be so good!"
Although she knew that the other party was obviously complimenting her with added insults, Lan Ruo still felt very satisfied and showed a satisfied look.
"By the way, you saved my Peony King today, I can't just send you away with just a few words.
But my Peony Garden doesn’t have much money right now, so I’ll send a few disciples to the bank to get some money, so that I can repay your kindness!”
With that said, Du Chen called over a few disciples.
Lin Xiaodong was not short of money, and helping him today was not for money, so he stopped him.
"Master Duchen, if you give us money, you can waive it... Look, it's getting late today, and Lan Ruo and I have to go back quickly."
Du Chen couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh and said: "Doctor Lin, you really help the world and save people without asking for anything in return.
Forget it, you don’t have to accept my money today, but I will give you a pot of peonies, and you must accept it!”
He walked around the Huihui Pavilion and carefully selected among the rare peonies. He selected the one that was most suitable for Lin Xiaodong and handed it to him without hesitation.
"Miracle Doctor Lin, this pot of 'Shendu Brocade' is also a special variety that I have cultivated with great pains. Many people have offered high prices before, but I was not willing to sell it.
Since you refuse to accept money, then accept the peonies I raise.
This pot of 'Shendu Jin' is different from other varieties of graceful and luxurious ones. It is famous for its masculine temperament, so I am afraid it is the most suitable for you."
Lin Xiaodong glanced at it and saw that the color of this pot of 'Shendu Brocade' turned out to be a very special golden color, and it had a metallic texture. It's no wonder that Du Chen has been reluctant to sell it.
Compared with the previous black peonies and white peonies, it is several levels higher.
Seeing the serious look on Du Chen's face, Lin Xiaodong stopped refusing and accepted the 'Shendu Brocade' before leaving the Huihui Pavilion.
Lan Ruo looked at the peony in Lin Xiaodong's hand, her eyes burning.
"Master Lin, you have made a lot of money this time. This 'Shendu Brocade' is a priceless treasure! Although it is not as good as the Peony King, I think it was quite painful when Du Chen gave it to you."
Lin Xiaodong glanced at her: "Do you like this pot of peonies?"
"Of course I like it! Peonies are beautiful to begin with, not to mention that they are such a precious species. What girl wouldn't be tempted by them?"
Lan Ruo looked naughty, pretending to come and snatch this pot of Shendu Brocade.
Who knew that Lin Xiaodong had no secret at all and actually gave it up directly, leaving her a little confused for a moment.
It took her a while to react and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiaodong said speechlessly: "Of course I give it to you. No matter how good this pot of peony is, it has no medicinal properties and cannot be used to make elixirs. Why should I keep it?"
I have to waste my time taking care of it."
Hearing this, Lan Ruo immediately pouted and said dissatisfied: "Why are you so unable to speak? Why didn't you say you gave it to me because I look good?
I don’t know how to say any sweet words, I really don’t know why I would... would..." Half of what he said, Lin Xiaodong asked curiously: "What could it be?"
Lan Ruo's face turned red, she swallowed the remaining half of her sentence, and changed the subject: "Do you know what it means to give flowers to a girl?
Forget it, I don't think you know..." Lin Xiaodong looked at her talking to herself, feeling a little helpless.
"Okay, don't think so much. Now that you've finished admiring the flowers, let's hurry back to the inn."
After saying that, Lin Xiaodong glanced at Lan Ruo out of the corner of his eye and found that while she was blushing, she actually had a tangled look on her face, as if she wasn't very happy.
What's going on? She obviously got the peony she wanted. Why does she have such an expression?
Lanruo's recent behavior is really strange and confusing.
Lin Xiaodong was about to ask her if there was anything wrong, but he saw that she suddenly put on a happy expression, as if the tangled look just now was just an illusion.
"Then let's go, I happen to be hungry too.
I cleaned up the Qiu Tu and had a meal today, and I felt really happy. I must eat more!" Seeing that she was deliberately concealing it, Lin Xiaodong didn't ask any more questions.
But that night, Lan Ruo had been vaguely showing some abnormality.
For example, when eating dinner, she had clearly promised to eat a lot, but she seemed to have no appetite and said she was full after taking two bites.
Another example is that after returning to the guest room, she stood in front of the window and looked at the night, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lin Xiaodong recently felt that his strength was about to reach a breakthrough, so he didn't want to care about her and sat alone to practice.
Suddenly, he felt a body fragrance and cautiously opened his eyes, only to see Lan Ruo walking in front of him at some point.
He frowned and asked, "What?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask you...it's still early, would you like to have a cup of tea together?"
"Tea?
Why are you suddenly so interested?"
Lan Ruo smiled faintly and said with an affectionate look on her face: "Do you know how much money those rich men will have to spend and how much hospitality they will show me if they want to come to Jiuxiang Huafang to have a sip of tea with me?"
Lin Xiaodong shook his head: "So what, I'm not very interested in these."
Lan Ruo immediately refused and insisted on pulling him up to drink tea, and said: "Come on, I will play a newly learned piece for you later, it sounds good!"
Lin Xiaodong really couldn't resist her, so he had to sit at the tea table.
