Chapter 498: Disdain (1)_1
Doctor Gui cursed heatedly for quite a while, not even pausing to catch his breath. Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, and seeing no sign that he would stop, he finally couldn’t help himself, handing over the box in an attempt to shut him up.
"What is this?"
Sure enough, Doctor Gui stopped his tirade, asking as he reached out to take the wooden box.
The two had known each other for many years and both served the Crown Prince. Despite the difference in their ages, they had developed an exceptional understanding.
Doctor Gui was deeply devoted to the art of healing, his greatest interest being to find medicinal materials, refine good medicine, and treat diseases that other doctors couldn’t.
Xiao Ruiyuan knew Doctor Gui’s preferences well and often found him medicinal materials, each time exceedingly precious. Over time, Doctor Gui had come to believe that anything he brought out must be extraordinary.
"This... this is..."
Even though he had been prepared, when Doctor Gui saw what was inside the box, he became so excited that he couldn’t speak coherently. His trembling hands held it as if it were a rare treasure.
"How is it? Is the age sufficient?"
Seeing Doctor Gui’s reaction, Xiao Ruiyuan let out a slight sigh of relief, but he couldn’t fully relax without knowing the exact age of the Ginseng, so he took the initiative to ask.
