“Oh? Who is it?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“This, I can’t tell you temporarily. Wait till Miss Ling meets the person, you’ll naturally know.” Gao Wentian said apologetically.
“This friend is extremely important to my Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce. Miss Ling, please help no matter what. If there is anything you need of me in the future, I will definitely do my best to assist.” Fearful of Ling Chuxi’s rejection, Gao Wentian immediately added on.
“Alright then.” Ling Chuxi thought about it and nodded. The Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce had also helped her out quite a bit. It was only right to give Gao Wentian some face. Furthermore, who knows if she would need Gao Wentian’s help in the future?
“Chuxi, I’ll go with you.” Ling Yichen said. Gao Wentian did not say who she was to meet, but he kept feeling that this matter was not so simple and therefore was not too assured.
Hearing Ling Yichen’s words, a look of struggle could be seen on Gao Wentian’s face.
“No need. I can go alone.” Ling Chuxi gave Ling Yichen a look that said ‘don’t worry’. With her current cultivation, it was not so easy to hurt her. Furthermore, she believed that Gao Wentian was a smart man, and would definitely not do anything stupid.
“Alright then. Be a little more careful.” Ling Yichen nodded.
“Miss Ling, please get in.” Gao Wentian said happily.
The carriage started its journey and Ling Chuxi made a guess whilst sitting in the carriage. With the display of her cultivation in this time’s fighting competition, there would definitely be people trying to win her over. This was not odd, however, she did not expect it to happen so quickly. And seeing how Gao Wentian was acting, this person’s identity was definitely out of the ordinary. One needed to know that the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce was ranked first or second in the entire Nan Xia country’s chambers of commerce. What kind of identity would be needed to actually be able to move the young master of the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce?
Shortly after, the carriage arrived at its destination. Ling Chuxi’s question also found its answer.
“Miss Chuxi, we meet again.” In a guest room which was decorated exquisitely and elegantly, a young man dressed casually said to Ling Chuxi with a smile.
‘The first prince!’ The corner of Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched. This person was really an evil spirit that could not disperse. Now, she could connect all that Gao Wentian had said. Gao Wentian had won a large sum of money from the gambling house, but the money he won was the first prince’s money and naturally also got into trouble. It was definitely the first prince who had personally shown himself and got Gao Wentian to be the person to pull the strings and try to win her over. Recalling Gao Wentian’s bitter smile, Ling Chuxi pouted. So it turns out to be like this. Gao Wentian indeed could not afford to offend the first prince.
“Meeting His Highness the First Prince.” Ling Chuxi bowed slightly. There was a faint smile on her face and she acted naturally too.
“Your Highness, First Prince, not sure what is the matter for seeking me out this time?” Ling Chuxi asked knowing full well the reason for his meeting.
“Miss Chuxi had obtained the first place in this time’s competition. It indeed leaves one sighing in admiration. I am here this time to make a friend. Besides, I have a gift I would like to give to Miss Chuxi.” The first prince said very intimately.
The first prince took out a wooden box after speaking. Before he opened it, a faint herb fragrance whiffed out. The first prince opened the wooden box and inside it was an old ginseng that looked as white as jade. Its entire body was crystal clear like ice carved jade, but inside it were bright red lines, like blood vessels distributed inside the mountain ginseng.
“Jade Blood Ginseng!” even Ling Chuxi secretly felt shocked. Hearsay, this was a kind of mountain ginseng that needed a thousand years to take shape and then another thousand years to form the shape of a jade and then another thousand years to grow those blood vessels. One could imagine how precious it was. It seems like that first prince had truly spent a large amount of capital in hopes of winning her over.
