Chapter 1032.2: Not Enough - Part 2
Lu Qingling smiled. "Uncle, you're worrying too much. I know my own worth. I won't let my thoughts wander."
"You don't need to belittle yourself either, Qingling. It's just that some people simply aren't walking the same path."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan gave that explanation as a roundabout way of comforting her.
Lu Qingling merely smiled and let it pass without replying. Instead, she found herself wondering whether Chen Chao, after disappearing from Dragon Horn Commandery, had run into another problem he could not resolve.
But on second thought, with that great sword immortal protecting him, there was probably no need for her to worry.
As Lu Yuan and Lu Qingling chatted, time passed quickly. Before they knew it, night had fallen. By then, all the carriages at the city gate had entered the city. A soldier guarding the gate jogged over with a smile. "Second Master Lu, you've been waiting a long time. Hurry and enter the city."
The Lu Family was a major merchant family whose caravans entered the Divine Capital year-round, so they were naturally very familiar with the soldiers guarding all four city gates. Lu Yuan smiled faintly, and a middle-aged steward at his side naturally handed over a money pouch.
"Brothers, you have worked hard. Consider this the Lu Family treating everyone to supper."
The Lu Family had always been generous, and since they occasionally needed the soldiers to do them small favors, monetary gifts every so often had become customary. This time, however, the soldier did not accept the money as usual. Instead, he pushed it back and smiled. "Second Master Lu, there's no need. We heard that your branch of the family has donated the profits from several shipments to the court recently. We've all heard about it. Since you're being so noble, it wouldn't feel right for us to take your money."
