"Indeed, indeed!" Zhuo Qing laughed, "If Brother Jin had found it, he certainly wouldn't still be in this small town, he would have returned to the mountain long ago. But what exactly is the item Brother Jin is searching for? If you say it out loud, perhaps I could help look for it too."
Jin Zijin clasped his hands together, immediately smiled and said, "In that case, I won't be polite. The item I'm looking for...is naturally the treasure of the Dao Family—the Youying Pearl."
As soon as these words came out, the two who had been pretending to be cheerful couldn't keep it up anymore, and in the quiet courtyard, the air became stagnant, with only the sound of wood crackling in the small stove that was slowly boiling the medicine.
Gu Youyou and Abao, like every blade of grass and tree in the courtyard, continued to be ignored, while the two men faced each other; one with a smile on his face, the other as solemn as a silent night.
