In the afternoon, Grandpa Sun appeared at Jin Jin’s place.

He brought along a bunch of medicinal herbs.

Grandpa Sun once again took Zhai Yunsheng’s pulse. This time, Jian Yunmo, Liu Ting, and the others watched from the side.

It was rare for Grandpa Sun to encounter a condition he could do nothing about.

And thus, Grandpa Sun had been thinking about this the entire time.

Just now, as he wanted this little girls’ knowledge on planting medicinal herbs, he promised that he could help this man get better.

Back then, he assumed that it was going to be a very simple matter. A simple transaction of a few herbs to get this little girl’s knowledge on planting medicinal herbs.

However, things were much more complicated than he initially thought.

Despite this, Grandpa Sun did not like to go back on his words.

Even though he was an ill-tempered person, he would never go back on his word.

Although he took a step back from everything, back in the days, he was a well-known individual. And thus, how could he not keep his word?

Grandpa Sun: “Little girl, I’ve thought about it. I can’t cure his condition. However, I can teach him some martial arts. Although these martial arts won’t make his body better, they can strengthen him. This will make his qi and blood better and thereby strengthen his muscles and bones. This can to a

certain extent protect his heart and reduce the possibility of him falling ill.”

This was the plan Grandpa Sun formulated. Although it could not remove the root cause, it could help Zhai Yunsheng get stronger. Therefore, he was technically not really going back on his word.

In reality, Jian Yiling was not too confident about the old man treating Zhai Yunsheng’s condition.

However, she was willing to let the old man teach Zhai Yunsheng some martial arts. After all, everyone saw his capabilities earlier in the day.

Grandpa Sun: “If you agree, we can make a deal. You can teach me how to plant medicinal herbs whilst I teach this man some martial arts.”

Jian Yunmo asked: “Sir, why are you so generous? Why are you willing to pass on your skills to someone you’ve only met twice?”

Grandpa Sun huffed through his nose and replied: “Well, it’s in exchange for this girl’s knowledge in planting medicinal herbs.”

As he said this, Grandpa Sun thought to himself that he was making a really bad deal.

Ahhh, he wouldn’t make a promise so easily next time.

Upon hearing this reply, Jian Yunmo said: “Well, we can provide you advanced herbal cultivation techniques if you can really help my brother-in-law recover.”

“Advanced herbal cultivation techniques?” Grandpa Sun asked as he looked at Jian Yunmo suspiciously.

“Yes, we have an advanced set of medicinal herb planting technology and equipment. It has an automatic function for watering and fertilizing. In addition, it can monitor and adjust the pH of the soil according to the preferences of different plants and herbs. Alll of this can be explained to you,” Jian Yunmo

replied.

This indeed seemed very useful.

When he heard this, Grandpa Sun felt as though he wasn’t making such a big loss anymore.

“Well, I always keep my word! So you guys better get that technology ready for me!” Grandpa Sun exclaimed.

Jian Yunmo tured his head to look at Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng, He waited for their response.

The final decision was in their hands.

Zhai Yunsheng said: “No need.”

This was no different from anything else he did. If something would happen, then there was no avoiding it unless the root cause was treated.

“Do it,” Jian Yiling replied. Her answer was completely different from Zhai Yunsheng’s. “I’ve prepared a treatment plan for him. A Sheng needs to have a strong enough body to withstand my treatment plan..”
