Chapter 25 (2/2)

From the time he had purposely lied to her about how the herbs she wanted were sold out to please Su Ying, she had laid this trap for him.

She knew very clearly that the one thing that could truly threaten Hundred Herb Hall wasn’t Marquis Yun nor Su Ying, but the century-old reputation that this place had built up all these years.

Compared to offending the Yun family or Su Ying, ruining Hundred Herb Hall’s reputation was way more fatal.

Yun Qingyan was really conniving and was able to attack him where it hurt the most.

A coldness arose from within the shopkeeper’s heart. Who was the one who said that Yun Qingyan was a good-for-nothing who couldn’t learn anything? That really got him into trouble this time.

He had been fooled by all those rumors.

The shopkeeper was filled with so much regret that his insides were churning, and he started feeling as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

“Pak pak pak!”

Just when the shopkeeper was nearly going crazy, the crisp sound of applause came from the third story of Hundred Herb Hall and was followed by a voice as clear as spring water.

It sounded like the quiet waters and green bamboo during summer. It was refreshing and melodious and made one feel energized.

“Miss Yun, please wait a minute.”

Yun Qingyan stopped walking when she heard this voice. The big shot was finally making an appearance.

When she stepped into Hundred Herb Hall earlier, she already sensed that there was someone on the third story.

Everybody knew that Hundred Herb Hall had three stories in total. The first story was to sell ordinary herbs and some standard spirit medicine.

The second story was dedicated to selling priceless and rare spirit medicines.

As for the third story, it was only open to customers if Hundred Herb Hall had gotten its hands on some really precious treasures. Everyone who was able to enter the third story had to be someone who was holding onto the Hundred Herb Plaque given to them by Hundred Herb Hall. Normally even the shopkeeper of Hundred Herb Hall was unable to enter the door of the third story.

Those with a Hundred Herb Plaque included the heads of powerful families, as well as cultivators who were at a very high level of cultivation.

Hundred Herb Hall was not in the midst of any activity right now, but there was actually someone resting on the third story of the hall.

Who could this person be?
