Chapter 151 Return of the property to its original owner
Old Luo felt that his time was coming to an end and that his life was entering its final countdown.
He thought to himself, "Since I'm not going to live much longer anyway, I might as well ask this girl for a drink before I die."
When the day comes that I kick the bucket, I'll have my dutiful apprentice take care of all the funeral arrangements.
He buried himself in the quiet valley where he had always lived, so that his life would be complete without any regrets.
However, after he chased after Mao Yatou all the way to the capital, all his ailments were cured!
What was even more surprising was that he actually met that little girl again here.
At this moment, Old Luo's wrinkled face was beaming with smiles, his eyes were almost squinting into slits, and the joy in his heart was practically overflowing.
Just then, a wonderful idea flashed through his mind like lightning, making him excited.
He turned to the lively and adorable little girl beside him with great interest and said cheerfully, "Little girl, why don't I, this old man, simply open a clinic in this bustling capital city!"
As for the location, hehe, how about choosing one next to your Star-Picking Tower? That way we'll be close and can look out for each other.
At this moment, Su Yue, who was listening to Old Man Luo's words with great excitement on the other side, became even more radiant when she heard Old Man Luo say that he was going to open a shop.
She moved closer to Old Man Luo, her big, bright eyes sparkling with excitement, eager to praise him.
However, just as she approached Old Man Luo and before she could even speak, she suddenly heard the old man say that he wanted to open a clinic next to the Star-Picking Tower.
These sudden words struck her like a thunderbolt, startling her so much that her eyes widened instantly and her mouth gaped open, almost big enough to fit an egg.
After a long while, she came to her senses and exclaimed incredulously, "What? You old man actually have a house next to the Star-Picking Tower? How come I never knew that!"
When asked this question, Old Luo scratched his head guiltily and stammered, "No...no."
Actually, Old Man Luo didn't have a shop next to the Star-Picking Tower. The reason he brought up this idea was simply to get closer to Li Suyue. He didn't think much of it at all.
Upon hearing this, Su Yue immediately understood and couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter, "Hmph, I knew this old man was a big liar! He just talks nonsense."
However, just as she was about to scold Old Man Luo, her eyes suddenly lit up as if she had remembered something important.
She suddenly remembered that when they parted, Old Man Luo had given her a mysterious iron plaque.
What exactly is that iron plate for?
This is truly intriguing!
She used her mental energy to search the space and actually found it on the cart she had taken when she fled the famine.
Then she took the iron plate out of her spatial storage. "Here, this is what you asked me to keep for you. Now it's back to its rightful owner."
Su Yue placed the iron plate in Old Man Luo's hand.
Old Luo took it with a puzzled look and realized that it was the iron plaque he had given her when they parted.
He frowned and asked, puzzled, "Why don't you take the things out of there?"
As he spoke, Old Man Luo shoved the iron plaque back into Su Yue's hand and then said, "I've told you before, you're just too silly sometimes! Since I've already given this to you, it belongs to you. Why are you giving it back to me?"
Su Yue shook her head slightly and replied firmly, "Take it back now. I don't need your things right now."
So, you should take this sign back! Actually, Su Yue didn't really need Old Man Luo's things at this moment.
After all, Old Luo is getting old. If he can carry this brand around with him, then the things inside are probably his family's wealth. Even if Su Yue is greedy, she wouldn't want something from an old man.
Seeing that Su Yue was so insistent on not accepting it, Old Man Luo did not press the matter further.
He sighed helplessly and had no choice but to put the iron plate back. He secretly thought that he would find an opportunity to give it to the stubborn girl after he took out what was inside.
Afterwards, Su Yue chatted with Old Man Luo for a while longer.
Time flies, and before she knew it, Su Yue felt it was about time.
So she got up to say goodbye to Old Man Luo. Before leaving, she carefully reminded him to stay in bed for a couple more days before getting up and moving around, since he was still a little weak.
Old Luo was a doctor himself, so he was well aware of Su Yue's concern and knew that she meant well.
Therefore, he nodded with a smile and then instructed Lin Cheng, who was standing beside him, to quickly and safely escort Su Yue out the door.
Su Yue was not in a hurry to return to Zhaixing Tower. Instead, she strolled leisurely through two streets and finally arrived at the shop on Gongchen Street.
As soon as she stepped into the store, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh my!"
Inside the shop, a bustling scene unfolded as craftsmen worked swiftly and efficiently, their pace astonishing.
In just a few days, the entire shop has been completely transformed, undergoing a dramatic change.
Su Yue wandered around the store with great joy, carefully examining every detail.
She secretly estimated that, at the current pace, the shop would be able to officially open for business in two more days.
Thinking of this, a relieved smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
At the same time, Su Yue was still thinking about her plan to visit the manor in the suburbs the next day.
Lately, Dali, Shen Le, Qiaoxia, Qiaoxiang and others have been busy with various matters and haven't even had time to return to Zhaixing Tower.
Now that the shop is about to open, I'll take this opportunity to check on how the crops are growing on the farm in the suburbs.
Back when Shen Lerong went to the suburban estate to cultivate the land, Su Yue had made meticulous preparations for her.
She not only provided a large number of high-quality seeds, but also soaked them in diluted spiritual spring water beforehand to increase their germination rate and growth speed.
In this way, all kinds of vegetables that were planted should be growing well by now, right?
Thinking of this, Su Yue became even more excited about the manor in the suburbs.
After walking around, Su Yue put on her cap and returned to the Star-Picking Tower.
I had just sat down on the stone bench in the backyard, intending to pour myself a cup of tea.
Then she heard footsteps, and then Su Yue saw the gatekeeper jogging over.
After bowing, he said, "Immortal Envoy, Imperial Censor Li outside requests an audience!"
