“Manager Yuan…” Xiao Ying called out to the middle-aged man in a low voice. Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion had its rules. The first rule was: never, ever be impolite to any potential customer.
The middle-aged man cast a displeased glance at Xiao Ying, waved his hand, and said, “Somebody, chase this poor brat out of here!”
Xiao Ying did not dare to say anything further. She simply looked sympathetically at Ling Han and Hu Niu. This middle-aged man’s name was Yuan Gang. He had previously only been an odd jobs worker here, but unexpectedly, a few months ago, his younger brother advanced to become a Yellow Grade mid level alchemist, causing Yuan Gang’s own position to rise, allowing him to obtain the position of a minor manager.
Because he had struggled at the lowest level for a long time, now that he was in a high position, Yuan Gang had become extremely arrogant, always thinking of new ways to show off his present superiority.
Ling Han was extremely unfortunate—he just so happened to be this guy’s target.
Two st.u.r.dy, well-built men walked over and stood behind Ling Han. One of the pair spoke, “Honored customer, please come with us.”
Ling Han have a sigh. Did he really have to use force?
“Ling Han! Ling Han!” It was at this very moment that a sweet voice was heard from behind him.
Ling Han turned around to see that the speaker was actually Qi Zhan Tai. Why was the Seventh Princess of the Royal House of the Da Yuan King here? When he took a closer look, it seemed that both Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan were here too. In that case, it was only natural that the girl was here too.
“Yo, never thought that a poor brat like you would have such a pretty wife!” Yuan Gang gave an envious look, then said to Ling Han, “Poor brat, lend me your wife for me to play with for a single night, and I could give you a twenty percent discount? Haha!”
“Pa!”
His face suddenly suffered a slap, his feet stumbled and he directly fell onto the floor.
The one who had slapped him was, of course, Ling Han.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually dared to hit me!” Yuan Gang got up to his feet in a single movement, his face filled with thunderous rage.
“So what? Can’t you be hit?” Zhang Wei Shan walked over with a cold smile.
“And who are you!” Yuan Gang did not even think, and immediately raised his finger to point directly at Zhang Wei Shan’s face. “Wha, what!” He gasped in shock. There was astonis.h.i.+ngly a silver badge hanging on this newcomer’s breast.
Perhaps there would still be some people who may not recognize this, but definitely not him, an “experienced senior” who had been working at this Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion doing odd jobs for over ten plus years.
A Black Grade low level alchemist!
“S-Sir!” He hurriedly bent his knees in a bow, an obeisant expression on his face. The only reason he was in the position of minor manager was because of his younger brother, yet his younger bother was only a Yellow Grade mid level alchemist. Compared with this esteemed Black Grade low level alchemist in front of him, the latter was on a complete different level.
“Master, this guy was very bad!” Qi Zhan Tai said immediately.
“Pu!”
Yuan Gang instantly choked. This beauty was actually the disciple of a Black Grade alchemist, and he had actually dared to flirt with her; wasn’t that practically seeking his own demise? He scowled miserably, and said, “This Young Miss, apologies for my smelly mouth, only knowing how to speak nonsense! Deserves to be hit! Deserves to be hit!”
He began to slap himself repeatedly with a “pa, pa, pa” sound.
“Young Friend Ling!”
“Young Friend Ling!”
Zhu He Xin had also walked over, and together with Zhang Wei Shan, they raised their clasped hands in Ling Han’s direction in greeting.
“Grand-Grandmaster Zhu!” Yuan Gang had only at this moment spotted Zhu He Xin, and was so scared at this point that his whole face had turned pale. Unlike Zhang Wei Shan, who stayed long term in Da Yuan City to oversee the Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion Branch there, Zhu He Xin had previously always been in the Imperial City. How could Yuan Gang not recognize him?
Yet these two Black Grade alchemists actually performed such a respectful greeting to Ling Han. How could this not scare him witless!
“The two of you are here just in time. Help me call over Fu Yuan Sheng!” Ling Han said with a smile.
