A faint smug smile immediately spread across Su Ying’s lips. He knew that the shopkeeper was going to be on his side.

His gloomy eyes glanced at Yun Qingyan as he patted the foldable fan in his hands gleefully. He was going to let her know what the difference between a genius and a good-for-nothing was today.

She wasn’t going to get away with everything just because she had Marquis Yun’s backing.

“Oh? All sold out?” Yun Qingyan wasn’t upset by the shopkeeper’s words. She pointed at something with bright and clear eyes. “What’s that then?”

She was pointing at a seven-leaf herb on the top right-hand corner. The herb had a total of seven leaves and they surrounded seven tiny white flowers as if they were seven stars. That was obviously the Seven Star and Seven Leaf Grass that Yun Qingyan had asked for.

The shopkeeper immediately broke into a cold sweat as his lips trembled. “That’s… that’s a Seven Zhi.”

That… that was just a lucky guess… that had to be just a lucky guess, right?

It was already a miracle that the useless bum of the Yun family could memorize an entire list of herbs. Surely she couldn’t actually recognize them, right?

The Seven Star and Seven Leaf Grass and the Seven Zhi were very similar to one another, except that the Seven Star and Seven Leaf Grass had jagged edges on its leaves. Even some of the lower-ranked shop assistants in Hundred Herb Hall couldn’t tell the difference, so what more a useless bum?

She must have just tried her luck, that’s it, she was just trying her luck.

“Ohhh, so it’s a Seven Zhi.” Yun Qing nodded and looked. She knew what was going on and she didn’t pursue it any further.

Su Ying stood next to her and unfolded his fan with a flick as he looked at Yun Qingyan with a mocking smile on his lips. It was as if he was looking at an idiot.

To him, the shopkeeper didn’t have to do that.

This girl was just a good-for-nothing anyway, so the shopkeeper could have just chased her out. Why bother being nice to her at all?

In any case, it was fun to watch this useless idiot nod away like she understood the situation despite being lied to.

“What about this one? This powder looks very pretty, I’m taking it,” Yun Qingyan said as her eyes lit up and she pointed to some pink pollen at the side.

The pink pollen was very special and had a faint silvery gleam to it, it was very attractive. That was the Modan Pollen that Yun Qingyan wanted.

“This…” The shopkeeper glanced at Su Ying, whose expression darkened. The shopkeeper immediately looked away and said, “No, you can’t have it.”
