Late at night.
Jing Lan, who had spent the entire day busy preparing for the new shop's opening, returned to the residence under the guards' escort.
When she heard that the Wuyou Special Envoy had paid a visit during the day, she was somewhat surprised. But since Luo Chen had not sent anyone to notify her, it presumably had not been anything important.
As she entered the main hall, Jing Lan's steps paused slightly, her gaze falling upon three large chests inside.
"What are these?" Jing Lan asked doubtfully.
Uncle Zhong, the steward, explained, "Gifts sent by City Lord Xiao. The master has yet to emerge from seclusion to inspect them, so they have not been placed in storage."
Jing Lan frowned. Leaving several chests in the main hall was no solution, and such trivial matters should not disturb Luo Chen.
She rubbed her brow and, disregarding the exhaustion of the day, began inspecting the gifts sent from the City Lord's Mansion.
When the first chest was opened, gold and silver filled the eye, dazzling the mind.
Jing Lan roughly understood what these gifts were.
They were City Lord Xiao's reward for Brother Luo's intervention on his behalf and victory in the fifth battle. Their generosity even surpassed what had previously been promised.
The gold, silver, and jewels in this single chest alone would be enough for an ordinary person in the city to live a lifetime without worry.
The second chest felt rather familiar to Jing Lan, because it was mostly filled with medicinal herbs.
However, judging by their age and quality, they were far superior to those displayed for sale at Renji Hall. Their medicinal effects would presumably be much better for Martial Dao practitioners as well.
"This is quite a nice gift. Brother Luo should like it."
