"You don't know? This is the second young master of the Li family. I heard he is a good-for-nothing. He has never practiced cultivation. At a young age, he spends all day drinking wine in Shuangfeng Tower."
"The second son of the city lord's family? No wonder he is so domineering and dares to scold so many dignitaries directly."
Although Li Mu gave up practicing cultivation at a young age, he was the son of the Lord of Qinglan City after all, and his status was such that no aristocratic family in the city dared to offend him easily. At this moment, he shouted loudly, which immediately shocked the entire audience.
Even the arrogant girl in gorgeous clothes was obviously restrained by Li Mu's identity and did not dare to say anything more, but she still muttered something in a low voice.
Li Mu walked up to Nie Xiaoyu in front of everyone, squatted down and tried to pull the kneeling girl up. Looking at Li Mu's gorgeous robe, Nie Xiaoyu instinctively avoided it, fearing that it would dirty the girl.
She spoke frankly about the young man's clothes.
But obviously Li Mu didn't mind this. He directly grabbed Nie Xiaoyu's dirty little hands, pulled her up, and then looked at her face full of tears and rain and said.
"You said you wanted the Yuping Immortal Pill to save people, do you know the value of this pill? Even if you work for this Baicaotang your whole life, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
The words of the young man in front of him made Nie Xiaoyu shed tears again. His father was seriously ill, and the only magic pill that Uncle Fu said could be used for his father. The magic pill was very expensive. His previous uncle said it would cost 10,000 Cangyun coins.
I have never seen even one hundred Cang Yun coins, let alone ten thousand coins.
She didn't have so much money, and there was nothing to sell at home, so Nie Xiaoyu thought of selling herself to save her father, but she never expected that the life-saving elixir was so expensive that even if she spent her whole life paying it back, it wouldn't be enough.
.
"Steward Wu, give her the Yuping Immortal Pill. The money will be credited to my account and I will pay it off within three days."
As if to confirm that Nie Xiaoyu was indeed going to use this elixir to save people, Li Mu waved to the steward of Baicao Hall who had his head lowered and did not dare to look at everyone's surprised eyes, and ordered him to give the elixir to Nie.
Light rain.
"Okay, eh? Mr. Li, this Jade Screen Immortal Pill is a third-level mortal product. It costs ten thousand..."
Manager Wu was obviously shocked by Li Mu's words. After all, it was an elixir worth 10,000 Cang Yun coins. Although it was not the best, it was definitely not ordinary.
"What? You are still worried that I, Li Mu, owe you the money from Baicaotang. I said I will pay it off within three days."
Seeing that the steward hesitated to speak and did not follow his instructions to get the elixir, Li Mu frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the steward's attitude.
"No, no, no, you are the second son of the city lord. How could you lose your reputation because of this mere 10,000 Cang Yun coins? I will send someone to get it right away."
Although he caters to Li Mu, Manager Wu is still a little worried in his heart. He also knows Li Mu's reputation, but he is the son of the city lord after all. It is obviously not possible to question or refuse in person, so he has to do it in front of everyone.
Li Mumo was vaguely reminded that he would lose the face of the city lord for this moment.
Those present were all prominent figures in Qinglan City. Presumably even if this famous dandy in the city really wanted to default on his debt, the Li family would send someone to pay off the money for the sake of the family's face.
Soon, the steward came over with a wooden box as white as jade and solemnly handed it to Li Mu. Li Mu turned around and stuffed the expensive elixir into Nie Xiaoyu's arms.
"Master Li, I..."
All these changes happened so fast. The young Nie Xiaoyu had no idea why this stranger wanted to help her buy this magic pill, and how she could repay him. She could only stand there holding the wooden box at a loss.
He looked at Li Mu.
"What are you thinking about? Aren't you going to save people? Go quickly."
Li Mu's urging woke Nie Xiaoyu up. Thinking of his father who might be in danger at any time in the hospital bed, he no longer cared about anything else. He put down the medicine box, kowtowed to Li Mu three more times, and then held the medicine in his arms.
The box rushed out of Baicaotang.
"The second young master of the Li family, Xiaoyu remembers it. When daddy's illness is cured, Xiaoyu will come to repay his kindness!"
Nie Xiaoyu's departure caused everyone watching in Baicaotang to disperse, but the discussions about today's incident did not stop. After all, the good-for-nothing young man of the Li family and the down-and-out poor girl were very much the basis for gossip.
"Master, what do you plan to do with this three-day appointment? Ten thousand Cang Yun coins is not a small amount, and your monthly expenses may be..."
The old servant who had been following Li Mu silently came up and said to Li Mu, this old servant has been in the Li family for many years and was once the servant of Li Mu's mother. After that incident, he naturally became Li Mu again.
of servants.
"I know, Uncle Li, just pawn this and exchange it for money to pay to Baicao Hall."
Li Mu showed a trace of struggle on his face, but it only flashed by. Then he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the old servant beside him.
"Master! This is what my wife left for you. Do you really want to pawn it?"
The old servant was shocked. Although this jade pendant was only half the size of a palm, it was as bright as a bright cloud and as smooth as a crisp. At first glance, it looked like the finest jade that had been tempered for many years. The most important thing was that it was made by Li Li.
The object that Mu's mother left to him is an existence that cannot be measured by money for Li Mu.
"My mother was talented and devoted her whole life to charity. She once sold her paintings and manuscripts to help the common people in the north of the city. Over the years, I have read the manuscripts left by my mother. From beginning to end, my mother has passed on an idea, that is, there is no high or low person.
There is no distinction between rich and poor in the soul. Nothing is more important than life. This is the most precious wealth that my mother left to me."
Li Mu's words were filled with deep longing and admiration for his mother, and his hand holding out the jade pendant became even firmer because he thought this was the most correct decision at this time.
"If this jade pendant can save a person's life and the future of a family, then my mother will definitely be happy with my decision today."
The old servant took the jade pendant from Li Mu's hand, gave a deep salute to the young man in front of him who was rejected by his own family and laughed at by the children of other aristocratic families in the city, then turned around and left in the direction of the pawn shop.
On the other side, Nie Xiaoyu walked out of the rain curtain holding the white medicine box and rushed into the house. Nie Liang was still unconscious on the bed, but his face became paler. Obviously, the medicine that Fu Bo had used to relieve the disease could not last long.
Already.
Uncle Fu's heart finally dropped when he saw Nie Xiaoyu rushing back again. He didn't know what the little girl had gone to do, but it was a good thing that she came back safely. This family couldn't bear any more pain.
"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, this is the magic pill you mentioned. Quickly treat daddy's illness."
Nie Xiaoyu rushed directly to Uncle Fu and handed out the medicine box in his hand, his little face full of joy and expectation.
"What! Is this really the Jade Screen Immortal Pill? How is it possible? How did you get it, Xiaoyu?"
Uncle Fu opened the white medicine box, and a pill exuding a strong fragrance of elixir appeared in front of his eyes. The aura conveyed by the elixir flowing with brilliance could be clearly felt by even a mortal like him.
Although I don’t know if this is the rumored Jade Screen Immortal Pill, it definitely belongs to the list of precious pills that are out of reach.
Although his mind was confused by the sudden elixir, Fu Bo still turned the elixir into water at Nie Xiaoyu's urging and drank it for Nie Liang who was lying on the bed. After that, the three of them stayed nervously.
Waiting by the bedside, expecting the magical effect of the medicine to happen.
