Doctor Zeng received the message from Yan Qing sent by the fleet-footed Feiying, and upon opening it, he almost fainted from anger.
He clenched the letter, hopping mad, and said to Shen Ping'an, "Look at these two, aren't they a perfect match, scheming together, as thick as thieves, birds of a feather flocking together, wouldn't you say if they're not family, they wouldn't be entering the same door?"
Shen Ping'an leaned in to look and saw that it was a letter from Yan Qing with just one sentence written, "Send that pill you were reluctant to give my wife to Caojun at once. Half of the Fleeting Life Brew in my wine cellar is yours." He fell silent for a moment, clearly in favor of Yan Qing, and whispered, "Brother Yan is offering you half of the Fleeting Life Brew from his wine cellar for a single pill. I've heard that Ling Hua specially brewed the Fleeting Life Brew for Brother Yan, trading half of a good wine for a pill, that doesn't seem too excessive."
