Someone You Know?
"..."
Xiao Yan silently shook his head, and Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang's heart sank.
He was unwilling to accept the restoration of the Pill Recipe?
Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang felt especially regretful, though it was not entirely unexpected.
After all, restoring a damaged Pill Recipe was an exceedingly troublesome matter. Even if Xiao Yan could obtain the recipe later, it would hardly be easy.
Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang lowered his head slightly, then unconsciously let out a breath.
Even if Xiao Yan refused, there was really nothing more to say.
"I naturally understand Lord Xiao Yan's difficulties. I will truthfully report this to the Main Family..."
Having swiftly accepted the fact, the shopkeeper spoke, only to see Xiao Yan shake his head.
"I think you have misunderstood me, Shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang froze. Could there still be a turn in this matter?
"...Then what do you mean, Lord Xiao Yan?"
His heart pounded in his chest, and the man before him naturally found it difficult to remain calm.
"—Asking him to complete a Pill Recipe from who knows how many years ago is a bit too much."
A pleasant voice came from behind him. Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang instinctively looked back and saw Yao Wan approaching slowly, her slender fingertips turning a long jade slip.
"Y-Your meaning is?"
Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang gave an awkward smile, but Yao Wan promptly stuffed the jade slip into his hand.
"Why don't you take a look yourself, Shopkeeper? Be a little careful, though. If someone with insufficient spiritual sense rashly examines it, one careless mistake might leave them dizzy for a month or two."
Yao Wan reminded him amid Shopkeeper of Qian Shan Fang's astonished and bewildered gaze.
"Mm... all right."
Only then
