Chen Jie never expected he'd manage to snag a bowl of soup, especially since that Golden Chicken was bought with hard cash.
He did not miss out on any money, but receiving an extra bowl of soup made him feel somewhat indebted.
"Master, I'd rather not drink it..."
Chen Jie said, seeming quite embarrassed, when Doctor Bai interjected, "Drink it. The Phoenix Soup I concocted is a great tonic for martial artists. Haven't you been training in martial arts lately? This one bowl can save you at least half a year of hard cultivation work."
"But Master, I've taken money for it..."
"Heh, that money is from the sale to your Uncle Zhong. This soup is a gift from a master to his disciple. There's no conflict, drink up."
At this point, Wu Zhong, gnawing on a chicken wing, said, "Brother Jiu Si, drink up. We're all family here, no need for formalities."
