In the end, Xu Sanshi sold all five Mystic Water Pills to Lu Yi.
The sight of Lu Yi closing his eyes and counting on his fingers to tell fortunes was simply too frightening.
Lu Yi had even stated outright that some grave wrong had once occurred between Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, seemingly involving family bloodlines.
Hearing such a deeply buried secret spoken of so casually, Xu Sanshi dared not let Lu Yi calculate any further in that direction. He hurriedly changed the subject, focusing instead on how to solve the problem.

Lu Yi remembered that ever since that incident with Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi had been looking after her mother for her.
Jiang Nannan, her own daughter, had instead felt so sullied that she couldn't face her mother. She had not visited for years, sending only letters and money at regular intervals.
"But wouldn't that seem too deliberate? The hurt I caused her was real. I did those things from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to look as though I'm using a favor to demand repayment. I want her to love me because I genuinely love her."
Lu Yi was genuinely speechless at Xu Sanshi's strange sense of morality.
"So you're planning to win back the woman you love and tear down the wall between you by shamelessly trailing after her like a devoted dog?"
Lu Yi smiled. "If you think that's devotion, and you're busy moving yourself to tears over it, then all I can do is wish you luck."
The money had been paid, and the Mystic Water Pills were in his hands.
