Chapter 37 Fake Wild Ginseng

More than two years ago, Blood Shadow was on a mission and passed through a dense forest. She discovered two wild ginseng plants at the entrance of a cave.

Believing them to be rare, she decided to take them.

During that time, she was accompanied by a fellow disciple who had once saved her life, and was her only trusted partner within Dark Shadow.

Unfortunately, her friend did not survive that mission.

Blood Shadow buried her partner on the spot. As she passed through Taragon City in confusion, she casually threw the two wild ginseng into Maven Apothecary.

Once something is given, it should not be taken back. What Mr. Garth did with the ginseng, whether he sold it, gave it away, or consumed it himself, was none of her concern.

Furthermore, Mr. Garth had shown concern for her when he noticed that she was not in a good state..

However, if he had promised to use it only for emergencies and was being deceitful about the price, then after taking her things from here today, Isabelle would never set foot in Maven Apothecary again.

“Get a ladder and take down the item from the second compartment on the top right for Miss Jenkins,” Mr. Garth instructed the young apprentice.

“Sir, let me get it.” The middle–aged man seemed to have repented and wanted to make amends for his mistake.

Mr. Garth looked at him and kindly nodded.

The middle–aged man breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took the ladder from the young apprentice, climbed up, opened the compartment, and was about to reach inside when Mr. Garth said, “Take both of them.”

“Huh.. “The middle–aged man hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Mr. Garth then turned to Isabelle and said. “These two–hundred–year–old wild ginseng were given to me by a little girl. She and you ….

After observing Isabelle, he smiled kindly and said, “You two are around the same age, and your personalities are somewhat similar.” He then sighed, “Unfortunately, she hasn’t been here for a long time. Young lady, I believe we are destined. I will give you these two wild ginseng. Bring them home and use

them.”

“Get a box. Iwill pack it for Miss Jenkins.” The middle–aged man held the two wild ginseng, quickly wrapped them up. When the young apprentice brought a box, he began placing them inside.

“Hold on,” Isabelle suddenly stopped him.

The middle–aged man was startled and looked at Isabelle with confusion. “Is there a problem?”
