Chapter 373: Chapter 373 The Hardships Endured in the Search
Hao Yansen had no interest in guessing, “What’s the good news, just tell me, uncle.”
“It’s tremendous good news!” Hao Zaiye said excitedly.
The others nodded with smiles, “Exactly, it’s indeed tremendous good news.”
“Asen, we really owe Miss Jiang a lot this time.”
“Miss Jiang has been so devoted, all for your sake.”
“Asen, you’re truly fortunate…”
Hao Yansen frowned coldly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Hao Zaiye laughed, “Such great news, it’s better if Kerou tells you herself.”
Jiang Kerou immediately came forward with a smile, “Brother Hao, it’s really nothing that amazing. Here’s the thing, I originally wanted to study the Pill of Life myself to save Grandpa Hao, but as you know, my experiment wasn’t successful. So, I found a way and secretly purchased one.”
As she spoke, Jiang Kerou took out a small box, opened it, and personally placed it in front of him.
“This is the Pill of Life I’ve just acquired. I think Grandpa Hao must be in great need of it right now. So I immediately brought it over,” Jiang Kerou said humbly, seemingly without any intent of taking credit.
But her eyes were filled with expectancy as she stared at him, yet Hao Yansen, staring at the Pill of Life, only flashed a look of surprise on his face, with no other reaction.
Jiang Kerou felt a twinge of doubt and inevitably a slight sense of disappointment.
Hao Zaiye praised her promptly, “Asen, this is a pill that Kerou went through all sorts of trouble to find for you. You know, the Medicine King didn’t produce many Pills of Life, and she’s been gone for over 20 years. So the Pills of Life that exist in the world are getting fewer and fewer. You’ve been looking for it too, so you know how hard it is to find, nearly impossible. But Kerou, in her desire to help you, still managed to find one. Her intentions are not that simple.”
“Yes. Miss Jiang is indeed a person of great loyalty and affection,” praised the others as well.
Jiang Kerou gave a modest smile, “Actually, I just wanted to save Grandpa Hao and didn’t think much beyond that…”
“Ha ha, look at this girl, still so humble. Where else could you find such a good girl these days? Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also capable, thoughtful, and humble, a rare find indeed!” Hao Zaiye said with a sigh, not sparing any effort in praising Jiang Kerou.
The other people actually appreciated her quite a bit too.
“She really is a good girl. If it weren’t for my boy not being good enough for her, I’d be knocking on the Jiang Family’s door to propose a marriage right now!”
“Come off it, with a girl as good as Miss Jiang, only our Asen could afford to marry her. Forget about your boy.”
“Indeed, my boy doesn’t have that fortune. But yours doesn’t either.”
“Alright, how could your boys compare to Asen. Asen is the only heir of our family, unmatched by anyone.”
“Asen, we all see Miss Jiang’s intentions clear as day.”
“Yes, when can the two of you announce some good news?”
“My dear uncles and elders, please stop teasing me,” Jiang Kerou said with a bashful smile but with an air of grace, “My finding the Pill of Life has no other meaning, I truly just wanted to save Grandpa Hao.”
“Alright, we all understand your intentions. But by saving the old master, you’ve become a great hero to the Hao Family. Isn’t that right, Asen?” Hao Zaiye asked Hao Yansen.
