After Mo Zhu said this calmly, she turned around and was about to get into the car without looking back. Lu Zheng saw that there was no room for negotiation and he was afraid that he would make the girl unhappy. He frowned and immediately agreed. “Ms. Mo, as long as you agree to help me with this matter and promise me that I will do my part well.”

Lu Zheng’s eyes moved slightly. He gently raised his right hand in a direction that Mo Zhu could not see. Unexpectedly, before he could lower his hand, the girl who had her back facing him suddenly turned around.

Mo Zhu looked up and glanced at Lu Zheng coldly, her expression dark as if she was extremely unhappy. “You didn’t agree with my conditions just now. If you want me to take action now, other than the assets of everyone in the Lu family that I mentioned previously, I still want your right hand that was secretly raised behind my back.”

When Lu Zheng heard this, his expression instantly turned cold. Seeing the ruthless aura around him dissipate, Huo Xuan quickly took two steps forward and pulled Mo Zhu into his arms.

The two of them did not speak again and just looked at each other silently. After a few minutes, Lu Zheng’s gaze changed and he smiled evilly. “Ms. Mo, why are you so angry? I’m sorry for offending you just now. Give me a few days. I will definitely arrange everything for you.”

After hearing this, Mo Zhu turned around and ignored the people from the Lu family. She walked straight into the car.

When the girl turned around again, Lu Zheng lowered his eyes. In a place where others could not see, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Once the auction tonight had ended, he instructed someone to arrange for a lot of people to be stationed on the road from the hotel to the Huo residence. Originally, he had wanted to bring his people personally to snatch the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb after the Huo family’s car passed by.

Unexpectedly, just as he left the hotel, he received news from the Lu family. They said that they had sent someone to the Gao family to inquire about the news secretly. The first spirit herb he had bid at a high price with Mo Zhu was called the Soul Returning Herb. It was a sacred herb that was even harder to buy than the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.

Furthermore, according to Elder Fei’s understanding of various spirit pills and miraculous medicine over the years, if someone who knew medicine or had some attainments in the medical field obtained this spirit herb that was hard to come by, they would be able to refine special pills with amazing effects. However, as for the exact effect, it would depend on the skills of the alchemist.

There was once a rumor that 20 years ago, an expert had developed a spirit pill that could cure a hundred poisons with the Soul Returning Herb. Not only could this pill cure all sorts of vicious poison, but it could also provide health protection against poison for ordinary people who had not been poisoned.

However, there were too few people who knew about this spirit herb. In the entire capital, there were only a few.

When Lu Zheng received these news, he pondered carefully for a moment and finally decided to give up on using force to fight for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. Putting aside the fact that doing so might anger the Huo family and bring trouble to the Lu family, he could conclude from Mo Zhu’s performance at the auction today that Huo Xuan’s little fiancée definitely had unfathomable medical skills.

Therefore, he felt that instead of forcefully opposing Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu, it was better to show his sincerity and ask Mo Zhu to help him.

After understanding that, Lu Zheng happened to chance across the young master of the Qian family who had brought along quite a number of people to take the opportunity to snatch the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. Therefore, he had carefully arranged it and rushed to the scene with his people in time.

He was not considered to be too late. Although Mo Zhu had agreed to his request, she wanted the entire Lu family. Regarding this request, Lu Zheng had to return to the old mansion personally to ask the master of the family. After all, he was only the nominal heir of the Lu family and he could not make decisions just yet.

There were many people eyeing this position covetously. If he was not careful, he would be pulled down from it. He could only be at ease and give Mo Zhu a true answer only with the support of the family head..
