Let Marquis Yun see it?!

If Marquis Yun found out that he had lied to his precious granddaughter, wasn’t Marquis Yun going to hack him into eight large pieces?

And she wanted to show the palace doctors and other hall shopkeepers?

Wouldn’t they end up ridiculing Hundred Herb Hall? Everyone else in this industry was going to have a field day because of this!

Hundred Herb Hall had been able to gain a foothold in the capital because of centuries of good reputation. The chances of them getting herbs mixed up or selling the wrong herbs to customers were the lowest in the whole capital. If the projected images inside this Recording Crystal were leaked to others, then the reputation of Hundred Herb Hall was going to be ruined forever.

“No need, no need. Miss Yun, pass me that Recording Crystal. I’ll get one of my assistants to pull together all the herbs that you want. How’s that?” the shopkeeper said with a placating expression on his face. He was now completely ignoring the nasty look on Su Ying’s face.

“Didn’t you say that the herbs were all sold out?” Yun Qingyan had a terribly shocked expression, and her little face looked so genuinely confused.

Did she really not know, or was she just pretending not to know? The shopkeeper was about to grit his teeth to pieces. He held up against the invisible pressure Su Ying was placing on him and continued to try to gain Yun Qingyan’s favor. “Of course they’re not. It’s so rare of you to come to Hundred Herb Hall, so how could I let you leave this place empty-handed?”

“Oh, no no no!” Yun Qingyan quickly waved her hands about and laughed shyly. “Grandpa taught me to be a kind person since I was a child and taught me not to make things difficult for others. I’m not in a hurry to use those herbs anyway, so how could I trouble you like this?”

She then clasped her hands together and was about to leave.

Be a kind person? Not make things difficult for others? The shopkeeper puked blood in his heart.

Was this little devil doing this on purpose or not?

The shopkeeper quickly blocked her way with a bitter look on his face. “No, it’s no trouble at all. Miss Yun, please wait here for a while, and we’ll get the herbs for you right now.”

Yun Qingyan shifted her foot slightly and easily slid past the shopkeeper. “It’s all right. Guanghan is still waiting outside for me, and I don’t want him to get anxious about me.”

The shopkeeper was shocked that she had just managed to slide past him so easily. He…he hadn’t even seen exactly what Yun Qingyan did.

He was just a medicinal hall shopkeeper, but he was also a Ninth Stage Elementalist, after all. Being unable to block a useless bum could be considered just oversight on his part… But if he wasn’t even able to see what she did clearly…

A faint feeling of terror began to rise in his heart. He was quite sure now that she was just pretending when she looked all confused and innocent earlier.
