Chapter 39: Compulsory Mission

Although it turned out to be a blessing in disguise in the end, but there were also countless dangers involved. If not for his large copper bell, lightning spell and 5 element pure essence, with just any of these factors missing, only death would await Little Fatty. Even though Little Fatty survived, but the feeling of being trapped underwater by the Blood Ravens was also very unpleasant. Especially since he knew that all of this was because he was being sold out by this brat. That made Little Fatty even more frustrated.

“Boss, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?” The salesman trembled as he quibbled.

“Nonsense! You of all people know it clearly in your heart!” Little Fatty scolded in frustration.

Their arguments very quickly alerted the surrounding pa.s.ser-bys. The moment they saw the commotion, they immediately surrounded them. The boss of the shop also quickly noticed the situation outside and hurriedly rushed out. He first sent the salesman away, then personally paid his respects to Little Fatty and said, “Haha, so it is this taoist bro. May I know what is wrong? Did the salesman offend you?”

“Not only did he offend me, he made me very miserable!” Little Fatty gnashed his teeth and said.

“Wo~” The boss knew that something was wrong right away. Although he did not know what happened exactly, but he could guess that was nothing good for sure. For such matters, it could obviously not be discussed in public. If anything goes wrong, the reputation of their shop would end up getting tarnished.

As such, the boss hurriedly said in a polite tone, “This taoist brother, this is not a place to talk. Why not we talk in the inner courtyard?”

“Alright, let us have a good talk. I do not expect anything, I only want an explanation!” Saying that, Little Fatty followed the boss into the inner courtyard. Seeing that there was no longer anything to see, the crowd slowly dispersed.

In the inner courtyard, they both seated down in the respective host and guest seats. The boss then brewed a pot of tea and smiled apologetically and said, “Taoist brother, first drink some tea and cool down. If we are wrong in any way, I will definitely give you a proper explanation!”

“Good, boss you are a straightforward person. Let us reason things!” Little Fatty did not drink any tea but he interrogated, “Can I ask, the fact that I bought medicine at your shop, is that considered a private affair?”

“Of course it is! According to the rules, we have an absolute need to protect your privacy!” The boss straightforwardly replied.

“Ha!” After Little Fatty heard that, he gave a cold grin and said, “You said it so easily, but you don’t seem to have any intention to follow it?”

“Eh?” Hearing this, the boss quickly maintained his composure and said, “What do you mean, taoist brother?”

“What I mean is~” Little Fatty laughed coldly and said, “Your shop publicised what I bought, how much I spent.”

“How is this possible?” The boss’s face instantly changed and hurriedly said, “Taoist brother, please don’t maglin us. We would definitely not do such a thing. Offending a big customer such as you does us no good at all. Plus, by publicising such a thing, isn’t that as good as besmirching our own reputation? Who would dare to buy anything from us in future?”

One has to know, a cultivator places great importance in the elixirs required for cultivation and would not easily allow others to know what one eats during cultivation. One was due to the worry for revealing secrets of one’s cultivation secret. Another, was being afraid that the elixir he ate was too pathetic, and get laughed at by others. Thus, if one knows that this shop could not keep any secrets, it would definitely affect the business of the shop greatly.

As the saying goes: ‘Good things don’t leave the house, but bad things spread over a thousand miles’. As long as Little Fatty proclaimed to the outside that he was a victim, rumours would definitely spread through Firmament City very quickly. The days of the shop would definitely reach its end very quickly. As such, the boss was naturally very worried.
