Gu Jinli smiled in response, "Indeed, I figured it out myself after studying medicine books on my own, without anyone teaching me."
Upon hearing this, a trace of… mockery flashed across the cold face of Master Hu: "You figured it out yourself after reading medical books? Which medical book did you read? Did you bring it? Let me have a look."
Although Gu Jinli felt that Master Hu had many secrets, and that he had other reasons for selling her the barren land outside the Gate Tower,
she should have been wary of Master Hu, but after two interactions, she was sure that Master Hu would not harm her. She took out the medical book given by Grandpa Bai from the cloth bag she carried and handed it to Master Hu: "Please have a look, master, it's this one."
What Gu Jinli handed over was not just a medical book, but also her sincerity. It remained to be seen whether Master Hu would only take the medical book or also accept her sincerity along with it.
