"You're such a liar," Nalan Wushuang said angrily.

"Why would you say that? I'm an honest guy, and I can guarantee you that all I said was true," Qin Haodong said with grievance.

"Then how old are you?"

"21!"

"How old is the kid you mentioned?"

"Four!"

"So, you've been in a relationship for five years."

"No, we met each other only 2 days ago."

"You're just talking nonsense, you asshole."

Nalan Wushuang would've kicked him out of the car if she weren't busy driving. How could this guy be so serious while making up all these stories?

"I am not talking nonsense — I am telling you the truth!" Qin Haodong said innocently.

"You..." Nalan Wushuang began, then snapped her mouth shut. She knew she would totally lose it if she didn't stop talking to him.

The Audi A6 darted out of the city and finally pulled over at the gate of a large sanatorium. It had large-brick walls and houses with fancy tiles and had been created by the Jiangnan Military Force. It was said that all the residents here were military leaders above divisional commander level.

Nanlan Wushuang parked the car and lead Qin Haodong into the grounds.

Qin Haodong took a look around the grounds while as they walked. It was a nice place with much more Spiritual Qi around than the urban area, making it the best place for recuperation.

They weren't far into the sanatorium grounds when a man in his twenties approached them. He had a large silk box in his hand and, judging by his fancy clothes, was likely rich.

"Shuangshuang, why didn't you answer my calls?" the young man asked as he stopped in front of Nalan Wushuang with a smile.

"Zhang Dazhi, I told you not to bother me, unless it's important!" Nalan Wushuang said in a resentful tone.

"I do have something important!" said Zhang Dazhi fearfully. He raised the silk box in his hands and said, "I heard that you're looking for thousand-year Ginseng for your grandpa. I happen to have a friend who runs an herb business and asked him for help — this is the best Korean Ginseng he found for me. I heard it was a hundred-year one, so I came to give it to your grandpa as a gift."

He opened the box with an obsequious smile. There was a snow-white Korean Ginseng lying inside.

At first, Qin Haodong didn't care about Zhang Dazhi at all, because he was more than another admirer of Nalan Wushuang, and it seemed that she hardly had any interest in him. When he saw the Korean Ginseng, though, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

it was 600-700 hundred years old and giving out very thick Spiritual Qi. This Korean Ginseng, combined with his Blood Ginseng, were the two main ingredients of his Foundation Core. He had to get it, somehow.

It was a nice gift, just bad timing. He felt bad for Zhang Dazhi, because he knew it must have taken him a lot of effort to find such an aged Korean Ginseng. Nalan Wushuang would've treated him in a totally different way if he was here two days earlier, but now, she wouldn't even bother to look.

Nalan Wushuang barely glanced at the box. She stared at Zhang Dazhi, and said, "I don't need it, just take it away."

"But..." Zhang Dazhi was confused. When he'd heard did Nalan Wushuang when he heard that she was looking for a Thousand-year Ginseng. He had used all his connections to find the ginseng, and it cost him more than 10 million yuan to get it out of Korea., all just to hear this beauty laugh.
