Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 302: Tokens of Appreciation

Lu Ting didn’t expect Huo Fei Li to heal so fast and be able to walk so soon.

She was stunned for words when Lin Xuan Qi and Huo Fei Li came into the main hall.

They were on such good terms now? she thought, when she saw Lin Xuan Qi and Huo Fei Li talking to each other as if they had known each other for a very long time.

Lu Ting didn’t know what to say, but fortunately, someone else was there to help her.

A middle-aged looking man with a burly body stepped forward.

He had bushy black eyebrows and a thick black beard.

But the sword on his waist which was long and thin looked weird in contrast.

"Fei Li! I told you not to venture out alone, thankfully nothing happened to you." The burly man walked up to Huo Fei Li and placed his hands onto Huo Fei Li’s shoulders.

"Uncle... uncle Huo Jun." Huo Fei Li lifted his head slightly to look at his uncle Huo Jun.

Huo Jun inspected him from head to toe to make sure that he was fine.

"Your father will be so sad if anything happened to you." Huo Jun shook his head and he turned to the side and glanced at Lin Xuan Qi.

He took a step back, cupped his hands at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "You must be Master Lin.

"Thank you so much for your help.

"The Huo Family greatly appreciates it and I’ve been tasked to bring you these."

Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands back at him and said, "It was nothing much.

"We should be helping each other in need."

He replied with customary courtesy and he saw that Huo Jun’s guards had opened up a few wooden chests that were in the main hall.

"I’ve heard from Lu Ting that you are looking for these, Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron." Huo Jun stood beside the wooden chests and gestured to him.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at the wooden chests and saw some ore inside.

The ore had some dark portions and some portions that were white.

Hence the Yin-Yang inside its name.

But that was not all.

Huo Jun clapped his hands and his guards opened another wooden chest.

Lin Xuan Qi’s face was tinted gold when the gold ingots inside reflected the afternoon sunlight on it.

"These hundred taels of gold are a token of appreciation for the help you’ve rendered to my nephew." Huo Jun said and Lin Xuan Qi was pleasantly surprised with it.

But Lin Xuan Qi didn’t mind.

The expansion of his business needed money and more of it meant that he wouldn’t have to take on unnecessary risks.

He bowed at Huo Jun and said, "You shouldn’t have.

"It’s a long journey all the way from the capital, do take a seat and have some tea while I ask the servants to get lunch ready."

Huo Jun wanted to reject his offer as he had a mission to complete but Huo Fei Li came up to him and whispered, "Uncle, the food is very special and worth a try.

"And I... I want to spend some time here with Lu Ting."

Huo Jun was surprised with what he had heard.

He was someone who liked food and even though he was at Core Formation Level where food wasn’t a necessity for him anymore, he still liked to savor the taste and enjoyment mortal food offered.

"Are you sure? And how is it with Lu Ting?" Huo Jun glanced at him and asked.

He was also eager for them to get together.

Huo Fei Li nodded his head slightly.

Huo Jun nodded at him approvingly and smacked him on his back.

"Well done."

"Uncle..." Huo Fei Li gave out a cough and stumbled a step forward.

"Damn it, silly old me." Huo Jun used his usual strength with Huo Fei Li and had forgotten about the fact that Huo Fei Li had just recovered.

Lu Ting was concerned for a moment when she saw what happened.

But she pretended not to have seen it and stood there trying to look nonchalant.

She quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands to Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Thank you, Master Lin.

"And here are what you’ve requested, a little token of appreciation from my family."

Her servants opened three wooden chests that were lying next to her.

And inside the three wooden chests were the Spirit Herbs that her father had sourced throughout the land to repay Lin Xuan Qi for his help.

There were the familiar Dragon Tail Herb in one of the wooden chests.

Next to it were bottles with the Moonlight Water that had been extracted from the Moonlight Herb inside these bottles.

Lastly, there were the herbs shaped like a liver that were harvested from the Winter Frog Plant.

These plants looked like the shape of a frog and grew in cold mountain areas, hence they were called the Winter Frog Plant.

"Thanks, you also shouldn’t have to." Lin Xuan Qi cupped his hands at her and said.

Now, he had the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron for the Alchemy Furnace and the Spirit Herbs for him to conjure the Five-Element Qi Concentration Pills.

He wasn’t sure if three wooden chests full of the herbs required were enough but it would be a good start for him.

If Lu Ting’s father was able to get the Spirit Herbs for him, it meant that they were available and all he needed was to pay the right price for them in the future.

Lu Ting shook her head and said, "If it wasn’t for you, I might not be able to get the help from the Sima Family." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She still had something she needed from him but she didn’t know how to approach it, so she could only try to come up with a reason to keep in contact with him.

Lin Xuan Qi had invited Huo Jun for lunch but not her.

She expected it since his wife and concubine were always wary of her when she visited him.

And that was all the fault of Ghost Hands Fong.

There was another way to it and due to what happened earlier, she was now stuck.

Just when she felt that there wouldn’t be any hope anymore, Huo Fei Li said to Lin Xuan Qi, "Maybe Lu Ting can try out the food too?"

"Ah, how can I forget." Lin Xuan Qi pretended that he had forgotten about Lu Ting and said, "Please join us for lunch too."

It was the least he can do for Huo Fei Li after winning a few hundred taels of silver from him and getting a gift of a hundred tael of gold from the Huo Family.
