Lynn blushed and waved dismissively. "You don't have to thank me. It's Konel's fault. He was too greedy. He swindled outsiders and ruined Greenfield's reputation." She turned to Fade and said, "Sir, I overheard that you want to see Greenfield Mountain?"

"You can call me Fade." He smiled and nodded. "I do want to go up the mountain."

"Fade, then I'll call you Brother Fade! You want to go up the mountain? This..." She muttered to herself.

Seeing this, Fade pointed to her cart. "How much are you selling those herbs for?"

"A hundred per plant," she replied casually.

However, as soon as she said that, she realized what he meant and waved dismissively. "Brother Fade, I didn't mean that.

I won't force you to buy herbs. I just..."

He smiled teasingly. "You just said that the herbs in the greenhouse are only worth a few yuan, and yet here you are selling it for a hundred yuan, which is..."

Lynn blushed. She scrambled to explain, "I didn't buy my herbs from a greenhouse. I actually dug mine from the mountain."

"They came from Greenfield Mountain?" Fade asked.

Lynn shook her head and said, "No, Greenfield Mountain has been occupied by the Guo family. The rest of us can't simply go up there. My grandfather dug up these herbs from the nearby mountains. Although the quality isn't as good as those on Greenfield Mountain, they're still much better than those from the greenhouse. That's why I'm selling them for a hundred yuan per plant."

She bowed. "Brother Chen, if you want, I can sell it to you at a lower price. However, it'll be at least 81 yuan per plant. My grandfather works very hard digging up these herbs. Any lower and I'll be selling them at a loss."

The moment the words were out of her mouth, she seemed to regret them. "Brother Chen, I-I didn't mean it. Don't feel pressured to buy anything."

Fade thought her helpless expression was adorable.

With his cultivation, he could see that Lynn's herbs were indeed wild and of much better quality than Koriel's. 100 yuan per plant didn't seem too unreasonable.

He decided to take her at her word.

He took out a stack of notes and handed it to her. "I believe you. I'll take them."

She was intimidated by the sheer size of the stack. She waved her hands helplessly, "Brother Chen, this... You don't need to pay so much money. This..."

He smiled as he shoved the bills into her hand. "This money isn't just for the herbs. I have some questions to ask you," he laughed.

Lynn gave him an inquisitive look. "Ah, Brother Chen, what are your questions?"

Fade pointed at Greenfield Mountain. "I have business with the Guo family on that mountain. I wonder if you can do anything

about that?"

She was a little surprised. "Ah, the Guo family?!"

"You can't just waltz into the place. You have to be of a certain rank and have an invitation from the Guo family to enter. How you get invited is beyond me." He nodded. "I see."

After all, Lynn was obviously just an ordinary person. How would she know anything about the most powerful family in town?

Seeing Fade's disappointed expression, her eyes suddenly lit up. "There's another way."

"What is it?" He asked.

She replied, "Two days from now is Maurice Guo's 80th birthday. The Guo family will be throwing a birthday party on Greenfield Mountain. There will be many guests." "The guest list includes some of our local bosses and Greenfield City's big shots. If you know these people, you may have a chance..."

However, Lynn's voice softened, "But since I don't know any bosses, I'm afraid I can't help

you. I..."

Seeing this, Fade gently patted her on the head. "It's enough for you to tell me this. I will contact the boss by myself." He smiled.

She nodded slightly. "This, I..."

She handed the thick stack of money back to him. "Brother Chen, I'm giving this back to you."

"Lynn, this is the money I'm paying you for the herbs. Why are you..." He said.

She shook her head seriously. "Brother Chen, you're here to ask about the Guo family. There's no need to buy these unnecessary medicines." As she spoke, she shoved the money into his hands.

However, Fade still refused to take the money. "It's getting late. I don't think there are any hotels at the foot of the mountain. Your house is the m

probably nearby. I'll stay the night there. This money can be the rent."

Lynn waved her hand frantically. "No, no, this..."

He put on a sad expression and sighed. "You don't want me to stay at your house. I guess I'll have to take a taxi to the city. However, I

don't know if there are any on such a

dark night."

"Brother Chen, I didn't mean that!" She hurriedly explained. "Brother Chen, you can stay at my house, but I can't accept this money."

"If you don't accept the money, I won't feel right," he responded.

"B-But that's just too much," she insisted.

"Not at all. This money is not only for room and board, but also for the herbs," he said.

"But... But it's still too much, I..." Lynn continued.

"It seems that you just don't want me to stay at your house. I'd better find another place then," Fade feinted.

She waved her hands frantically. "Brother Chen, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"No more buts. If you don't mean that, keep the money." He put the money back into her pocket.

She frantically kept the money and started packing up her stock. "Brother Chen, all the herbs are here. Let's go back."

He nodded and helped her pack up. Then, they were off.

After walking for more than half an hour, Fade saw a village ahead.

As he approached, he saw many three and four-story buildings. Almost all of them were in good condition and splendidly decorated.

He looked at Lynn in surprise. "Lynn, your village sure is rich."

She shook her head and an indiscernible expression appeared on her face. "No, there are just a few rich families. The others don't have much money."

While speaking, his gaze washed over the luxurious houses until it fell on a familiar face.

It was Koriet, who was selling herbs.

at the foot of the mountain earlier At that moment, he was sitting outside with the latest iPhone, with the volume on full blast, a satisfied look on his face.
