Chapter 14

Cai Wei's intense reaction also startled Li Luo. Seeing the anger on her oval face, he felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Sister Cai Wei, what are you talking about? Your abilities are well-known; how could I not want you to take charge?"

Cai Wei stared at Li Luo for a long while before gradually calming down. She said, "Please don't blame me, Young Master. I was a bit too harsh earlier."

She paused and continued, "But, Young Master, are you really going to purchase a hundred portions of Spirit Water Radiance? This is no small matter."

"Moreover, Young Master should know that while Spirit Water Radiance can enhance compatibility, if used recklessly, it can lead to the premature closure of the compatibility palace."

Cai Wei knew about Li Luo's innate empty compatibility, so she didn't want to be too blunt, to avoid hurting his sensitive feelings.

Cai Wei thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly became sharp. "Is someone secretly deceiving Young Master, trying to use your identity to obtain Spirit Water Radiance?"

Although everyone in the old residence had been thoroughly vetted, the two lords had been missing for many years, and it was possible that someone might have ulterior motives. Spirit Water Radiance was an expensive item, and if someone were to deceive the Young Master to obtain it, it wasn't impossible.

If that were the case, Cai Wei would make sure the person paid a heavy price.

Li Luo shook his head and said seriously, "Sister Cai Wei, don't overthink it. The Spirit Water Radiance is indeed something I need."

Cai Wei's eyebrows furrowed. "Though it may be overstepping, may I ask what Young Master intends to do with so much Spirit Water Radiance?"

"I'm not trying to interrogate you, but I'm worried that you might make a mistake in your haste. If something happens to you, I won't be able to face Qing'e."

She knew how much pressure Li Luo's so-called innate empty compatibility had put on him, and young people were often impulsive. She feared that Li Luo might have found some dubious remedy and wanted to try it to break his innate empty compatibility.

Li Luo pondered for a moment and finally said, "It's fine to tell Sister Cai Wei. Actually, it's a secret technique left by my parents that can help me develop a compatibility. The Spirit Water Radiance is a necessary component, and Sister Qing'e is also aware of this."

He knew that his compatibility would eventually manifest, and when it did, it would attract curiosity. The secret technique left by his parents would serve as a good cover.

Moreover, if he wanted to purchase more Spirit Water Radiance in the future, he would still need Cai Wei's help, so it was better to resolve her doubts now.

Cai Wei was surprised. "A secret technique left by the two lords?"

She was somewhat skeptical, but when she looked into Li Luo's eyes, she saw his calm and sincere expression, which didn't seem fake.

In the end, she could only nod.

"If that's the case, I'll help Young Master with the purchase." Cai Wei sighed. The cost of a hundred fourth-grade Spirit Water Radiance would be over a hundred thousand Tianliang gold, which would reduce the Luo Lan Manor's funds in Tian Shu County by half. Dealing with the aggressive encroachment of the three families would become even more difficult.
