Lu Chang'sheng didn't accept it right away—he still cared a lot about the weight of favors owed.
If he could avoid owing anyone, he would.
In the end, he chose to give Gu Chan the same number of Perfect Pills in return.
As he was leaving, Gu Chan looked at Lu Chang'sheng with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
Right then, Gu Shuang walked out from the inner courtyard, spotting the jade bottle in Gu Chan's hand, a sly smile spreading across her face.
"A gift from Alchemist Lu? He's thoughtful." Gu Shuang was a bit surprised—most people believed Lu Chang'sheng was conservative when it came to women, but those rumors seemed exaggerated.
Gu Chan's cheeks flushed a little as she said, "It's not like that. Alchemist Lu wanted to buy Cyan Spirit Pills, so he used these for the trade."
Gu Shuang's expression changed at once. "Why'd you give him the Cyan Spirit Pill? That thing's worth more than even some of the best pills around."
