Chapter 96: Enemies Are Always Hard to Avoid (1/2)

The time had come and the Pill Pavilion opened.

Nie Tian and Liu Yan were the first to enter the door. The first thing they saw were three Spiritual Treasure sect disciples standing and waiting inside respectfully.

The moment Liu Yan and Dowager Weng entered, the three disciples recognized them, and immediately smiled and greeted them.

“Greetings, Mr. Liu! Greetings, Senior Weng!”

Liu Yan nodded and asked, “Which floor is the Spiritfount Pill on?”

“The third floor,” one of them answered.

Liu Yan didn’t say another word and took Nie Tian up the stairs.

There were five counters set up on the third floor, inside every one of which could be seen a few pills stored in delicate cases.

As soon as Nie Tian arrived on the third floor, and before he could even glance around, a deep voice rang out. “It’s you?!”

“Fei Li…” Nie Tian’s face went grim.

He never expected that Fei Li, who he had met in An Shiyi’s courtyard last night, was overseeing the third floor of the Pill Pavilion.

Fei Li and another female disciple of the Spiritual Treasure sect were the only ones serving as salesclerks on the third floor.

Liu Yan cut the pleasantries, stepped forward and said, “Fei Li, take out the Spiritfount Pill. My little senior martial uncle wants to buy it.”

After returning last night, Nie Tian hadn’t spoken to Liu Yan, but rather simply found a room and rested.

Hence, Liu Yan had no idea that Nie Tian and Fei Li had already started a feud last night.

“The Spiritfount Pill is no longer for sale,” Fei Li said coldly.

“What?” Zhang Qin, the female equipment forger on the third floor, looked at Fei Li.

Confused, she said, “Senior Martial Brother Fei, didn’t your master leave that Spiritfount Pill here for sale?”

“Correct, but we’re not selling it now.” Fei Li snorted.

Zhang Qin looked at Fei Li and then towards Liu Yan. She seemed to have sensed something was going on. Thus, she didn’t say another word.

“Fei Li, what are you doing?” Liu Yan said, sounding irritated.

“Not selling means not selling!” Fei Li’s tone wasn’t pleasant at all.

Nie Tian’s expression also turned very grim.

That Spiritfount Pill could help his grandfather rebuild his spiritual sea and also help solve the problem that had been plaguing his grandfather for many years.

The moment he learned about the Spiritfount Pill, he had decided to get it at all cost.

However, he never expected that the Spiritfount Pill… was Gan Kang’s. As the owner, Gan Kang indeed had the right to stop selling it.

If the owner didn’t wish to sell, Nie Tian could do nothing about it, not even with Wu Ji’s command medallion.

“Fei Li, do you have a problem with me?” Liu Yan furrowed his brows.

Fei Li didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked over towards Nie Tian.

Liu Yan was puzzled. He turned around and asked Nie Tian, “When did you have a conflict with him?”

“Last night,” Nie Tian answered.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and understood what was going on. “Because of that An Ying girl?”

He was a well-informed man. Before coming to the Spiritual Treasure sect, he had heard that Fei Li’s master, Gan Kang, had set his mind on An Shiyi.

An Ying’s anxious expression when she hurried over last night, coupled with Fei Li’s abnormal behaviors today, had already made the truth obvious to him.

Nie Tian went ahead and explained, “An Shiyi is my sworn sister.”

Upon hearing Nie Tian’s words, Zhang Qin suddenly realized what was going on.

Liu Yan smiled bitterly as he searched laboriously in his head for a solution.
