Manbao laughed and said, "Of course, you are now a citizen of the Great Jin as well. The emperor loves his people like his own children. If he knew we were buying things without paying, he would have us beheaded."
The shopkeeper's gaze swept over the others and, seeing that they didn't seem to strongly object, he tentatively reached out and tremblingly accepted the pearls.
Manbao turned and walked away, "Let's go back. By the way," Manbao turned around and asked him, "Are there any other pharmacies in this city?"
The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, "I... I don't know."
The soldier frowned and was about to get angry, but Manbao didn't mind. After stopping the soldier, she left.
Since he didn't want to betray his peers, why force him? After all, the town isn't very big. A little more exploring would reveal it.
Manbao led the group to continue wandering in the city, and soon they found another pharmacy not too far away on the opposite side.
