Chapter 260 Herbal Shop



“I don’t have any more business. My father said that he wanted to talk about something important, but he has this urgent business that he has to rush off to, so I don’t have to hurry home anymore.”

Bai Chen nodded in understanding.

“Where are you going then?” he asked with a smile.

To be honest, their relationship was so great, one could call them a couple. He just had not officially asked her to be his girlfriend yet.

The reason was obvious. Bai Chen had not achieved what he wanted to do here yet

He had not killed Wang Chengye and wiped out the Wang family, one of the five big families in Beijing.

“I’m not going anywhere. Where are you going, though?” Li Lin smiled cutely and asked back.

Bai Chen could not help but go silent. He wondered if he should tell Li Lin about it.

Less than a minute later, he finally answered. “I want to visit an herbal shop.”

Bai Chen decided that telling Li Lin the truth would not hurt.

She would not be able to find out that he had to do the mission that the Life Changing System assigned to him. She would just think that he simply wanted to buy some herbs.

“Herbal shop?” Li Lin raised her beautiful brows. “You’re buying some?”

“Yes.” Bai Chen nodded without hesitation.

“What herbs? Are you sick?”

Li Lin blinked and asked this with curiosity. She never expected that Bai Chen would want to go to a herbal shop to buy herbs for himself.

“No. They’re for my mother.”

Of course, that was a lie. Bai Chen felt a little guilty for lying, but he could not help it. He had to do it.

“For your mother?!?” Li Lin’s facial expression changed a little. “Then, let me go with you. I know a good place.”

Bai Chen did not expect Li Lin to say that. He thought that if he let Li Lin come with him, it would be a big help because he did not know any herbal shops in town.

He just wanted a taxi driver to drop him off.

“Okay.” Bai Chen finally nodded in agreement.

Li Lin smiled cutely and did not say anything more. She felt very happy.

Helping Bai Chen find good herbs for his mother naturally made her happy.

After a while, a taxi finally came. Bai Chen and Li Lin immediately got into the taxi.

Their destination was a herbal shop. It was the shop that Li Lin was acquainted with.

....................................

Half an hour later, Bai Chen and Li Lin got out of the taxi downtown not so far from the business district.

,m “Follow me,” Li Lin enthusiastically said to Bai Chen. She led him the way with her smooth, white legs.

Bai Chen followed her quietly. He did not say anything.

“This is it.” Less than 5 minutes later, both of them were at a herbal shop. It was rather mysterious, being located in a small alley with no one around.

“Here?” Bai Chen looked ahead. He could clearly see the signage that said: ‘Universal Herbal Shop’.

For Bai Chen, the shop name sounded like a con.

“That’s right, here,” Li Lin did not hesitate to say. “Let’s go inside.”

She led the way to the door without waiting for Bai Chen to say anything else.

The front door was an old wooden door. She turned the doorknob to open it.

Once the door was opened, Li Lin did not hesitate to step inside. Bai Chen could not help but follow her.

With only a step inside, Bai Chen could smell a variety of herbs. He looked around.

The shop was not so big and it was very simple-looking. There were glass cabinets that were full of herbs, mostly dried ones. He could see some fresh ones, too.

It was surprising that there was no one here at all, not even a customer or the shop owner.

“Grandfather Lu, are you here?” Li Lin walked in front of a glass cabinet and shouted.

Bai Chen also stopped beside one of the cabinets and thought that maybe Li Lin was calling the owner of the shop.

He could not help but be surprised that Li Lin seemed to be close to the owner of this shop. Otherwise, she would not be calling him a ‘grandfather’.

“Here.” The voice of an old man sounded. A door set in a wooden wall was opened. An old man with white hair walked out.

“It’s you, Li Lin. Are you buying herbs today?” The old man smiled a little at Li Lin.

“Not me, him.” Li Lin pointed at Bai Chen.

The old man called grandfather Lu turned to look at Bai Chen and nodded. “Be my guest. If you want anything in particular, just say so. I’ll find it for you.”

Bai Chen also nodded and spoke without hesitation, “Do you have what’s called a four-petaled dewdrop flower?”

Hearing what Bai Chen said, the old man halted. He could not help but narrow his eyes. He did not expect to hear this name again after a long time.

“You know of it, right, grandfather Lu? You’re an expert.”

Li Lin said this because she noticed the silence. She was afraid that the old man would not know the herb that Bai Chen was looking for.

Bai Chen waited quietly, but his heart was pounding hard. He was also nervous because not even Baidu knew about this particular herb called the ‘four-petaled dewdrop flower’.

If he could not find it, he would fail the mission, even though this was the first herbal shop that he had come to.

However, if this one did not know about it, the others would be the same, too. That was why Bai Chen was nervous.

The old man Lu, or Lu Heng, went completely silent. He did not say anything in response to Li Lin.

However, not so long after that, he finally talked with a serious voice. He looked at Bai Chen solemnly. “What will you use the four-petaled dewdrop flower for?”

Bai Chen’s eyes suddenly sparkled. He could not help but tighten his fists. His face showed excitement.

It was obvious that the old man Lu Heng knew of this four-petaled dewdrop flower.

How would Bai Chen not be excited then?
