“Don’t talk nonsense.” Zhongyu Jiarui was getting anxious upon hearing Ye
Lengan defame the Zhongyu family. “We won’t let you off for tarnishing our
Zhongyu family’s reputation.”
Although the Zhongyu family was a major force in the Hidden World, they didn’t have absolute control. Plus, there was the Enforcement Team to consider.
If word got out and damaged the Zhongyu family’s reputation, her father would surely not spare her. There were others in the store, and as Ye Lengan spoke, many had started to cast glances her way.
“Hehe, I’m not talking nonsense.” Ye Lengan smiled and shook her head. “Your recent actions just prove what I’ve been saying, don’t they?” “You…” Zhongyu Jiarui was too angry to find words.
Just then, Zhong Lingwan returned with an elder by her side.
Sensing an unusual atmosphere, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. At this point, she was unaware that she had narrowly avoided being lured away moments ago.
“Miss, our appraiser has arrived.” Zhong Lingwan addressed Ye Lengan with a hint of respect. “May we check the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill now?” Ye Lengan nodded and handed over the small porcelain bottle.
Zhong Lingvvan passed it to the elderly man beside her. “Elder Zhou, I’ll leave it to you.”
Zhongyu Jiarui’s gaze remained fixed on the small porcelain bottle. Her heart was filled with resentment. After investing so much effort, she still failed to obtain the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. Moreover, the spiritual plant she coveted was about to be purchased by this detestable woman.
With these thoughts, Zhongyu Jiarui’s eyes turned even more hostile. If looks could kill, she would have already dismembered Ye Lengan.
After a moment, Elder Zhou’s face lit up with excitement, and his tone was filled with fervor. “It’s the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, and a high-grade one at that. Absolutely no mistake.”
As he spoke, Elder Zhou handled the bottle delicately, as if afraid to accidentally drop it.
People around, initially clueless about the situation, turned their attention to Elder Zhou’s hands upon hearing his excited words. Their eyes glowed, like hungry wolves spotting a plump rabbit. No one had expected such precious pills in a routine visit to buy medicine. Though not theirs, they could still appreciate the experience.
However, while envious of the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, none dared to entertain thoughts of snatching it. Not out of lack of desire, but out of fear.
To run such a sizable herbal shop, its owner couldn’t be an ordinary individual. There had been instances of disciples from other influential families attempting to seize precious herbs from this shop. The outcome was their respective families suffered significant setbacks.
Following those incidents, no one dared to harbor intentions toward the herbal shop anymore.
This was the reason why Zhongyu Jiarui could only attempt to entice Ye Lengan, not daring to use force in the shop.
In contrast to the others, Ye Lengan remained composed. She looked at Zhong
Lingwan and said, “Can I take the spiritual plant now?”
“Of course,” Zhong Lingwan nodded and asked, “What about the other herbs? Do you want them delivered together, or shall I send them when settling the bill at your residence?”
Her question served both as an inquiry and a test. Earlier, Ye Lengan seemed unaware of what Spirit Coins were. Although she had produced a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, she hadn’t paid for the remaining herbs. Even the spiritual plant required a payment of one million Spirit Coins.
“You’ll even deliver them to my door!” Unaware of the probing, Ye Lengan found the service commendable. She nodded and said, “Then, I’ll trouble you to send them together. Deliver them to the Huangfu family residence. When the time comes, just say a Miss with the surname Ye made the purchase, and they’ll settle the bill.”
On the second day after returning to the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling publicly announced her fiancés identity. Therefore, delivering the items to the Huangfu family ensured payment..
