"What?"
Zhao Ling'er asked in shock, "You really went inside?"
"Those bees didn't sting you?"
Xu Kunlun looked equally stunned. "How did you get in?"
He Pingsheng said, "Never mind how I got in. Remember, you mustn't breathe a word of this. Otherwise, under the sect's rule of handing over half, if I get caught, they'll reclaim your bee jelly too!"
"All right!" Xu Kunlun said. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed!"
Zhao Ling'er said, "I'm tight all over, so I certainly won't let anything slip."
They did have that much trust in one another.
The reason the affair with the Storage Bags had caused such an uproar last time wasn't actually that their master couldn't keep her mouth shut. It was that their master, Yu Ning, had wanted to show off too badly.
She had been too excited.
"Now isn't a good time. I'll bring it over to you later!" As He Pingsheng spoke, he slowly drew the jade box in front of him and opened it.
Inside were exactly two roots of Red Essence Ginseng.
The Red Essence Ginseng wasn't large.
It was red, with well-developed rootlets.
A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire palace.
"Are these the only two?" He Pingsheng asked.
A warm smile immediately spread across Xu Kunlun's broad, fat face. "No, we gathered seven roots in total!"
"Senior Sister and I got two each!"
"You got two!"
"And we gave Tian Xiaoqing one!"
"Just watch. Tian Xiaoqing will probably break through in the next couple of days too!"
He Pingsheng nodded.
But he had no use for so many, so he took out one root and handed it back to Xu Kunlun. "One is enough for me. Take this back and sell it for some money. Then you can get yourselves Storage Bags!"
