Mo Qingyun chuckled playfully as he walked toward Mo Qingyun.
"Fourth Uncle!"
Mo Qingyun walked up to Mo Feilin and greeted him, "Who are they?"
"Qing Yun, allow me to introduce them to you. These two are the young misses of Ten Li Town's Wu Clan, Wu Rou and Wu Qing."
Upon seeing Mo Qingyun's arrival, Mo Feilin smiled faintly as he introduced the two ladies to Mo Qingyun.
Following which, Mo Feilin introduced Mo Qingyun to Wu Rou and Wu Qing. "Rourou, Big Sister Qing, this is my third brother's son, Mo Qingyun."
After hearing Mo Feilin's introduction, Mo Rou politely nodded at Mo Qingyun to greet him.
However, upon hearing Mo Feilin's introduction, Wu Qing's lips curled in disdain as she remarked, "What's there to introduce to a country bumpkin?"
Upon hearing Wu Qing's words, Mo Qingyun frowned as a hint of disgust and coldness flashed across his eyes.
However, out of consideration for Mo Feilin, Mo Qingyun didn't say anything. He simply shot a glance at Wu Qing before ignoring her.
On the other hand, Wu Qing shot a disdainful look at Mo Feilin and said, "Mo Feilin, I hope that you'll remember who you are. Rourou isn't a name that you can address."
As soon as Wu Qing said those words, Mo Feilin immediately felt a little awkward. He chuckled awkwardly as he shot a glance at Wu Rou.
Seeing Mo Feilin's awkward expression, Wu Rou couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She glared at Wu Qing and said, "Big Sister, how can you say such things about Feilin?"
"Feilin, my big sister is a straightforward person. Please don't take her words to heart."
Wu Rou looked apologetic as she explained to Mo Feilin.
From the looks of it, it seemed like she still cared about Mo Feilin.
Upon seeing this, Mo Qingyun gained a clearer understanding of the relationship between Mo Feilin and Wu Rou.
From the looks of it, it seemed that Wu Rou and Mo Feilin were interested in each other, while the Wu Clan looked down on Mo Feilin.
Hearing Wu Rou's apology, Mo Feilin felt touched and smiled, "Rourou, don't worry. I won't be angry with Big Sister Qing."
"Don't call me Sister Qing. I'm not your sister. Don't try to get close to me."
Then, she turned to Wu Rou and said, "Rou Rou, don't forget that father has already said that if he can't take out ten thousand spirit essence stones as a betrothal gift, you're not allowed to interact with him in the future."
"10,000 spirit essence stones!"
Hearing Wu Qing's words, Mo Feilin and Wu Rou's faces paled.
At this moment, not only did Mo Feilin and Wu Rou feel powerless, even Mo Qingyun was slightly surprised.
To Mo Feilin, 10,000 spirit essence stones was a single day.
The elemental spirit stone was a type of stone that contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It could be used by True Energy Boundary experts to cultivate.
Under normal circumstances, a piece of elemental spirit stone was worth ten thousand gold coins, and there was no market for it.
From this, one could see how precious the elemental spirit stone was.
But now, the prerequisite for Mo Feilin to interact with Mo Rou was that he had to take out 10,000 spirit essence stones.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Wu Family was deliberately making things difficult for Mo Feilin.
Not to mention Mo Feilin, even if the entire Mo Family sold everything they had, they still wouldn't be able to gather 10,000 spirit essence stones.
Let alone 10,000 spirit essence stones, even 100 spirit essence stones would be difficult.
Perhaps even their Wu Family wouldn't be able to take out 10,000 spirit essence stones.
Seeing the worried expressions on Mo Feilin and Wu Rou's faces, Mo Qingyun narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.
After a short moment of thought, Mo Qingyun looked at Wu Rou with a playful expression and said, "Fourth Aunt, you don't need to worry. My Fourth Uncle will definitely gather enough betrothal gifts. You can rest assured and wait for him."
Mo Qingyun's words weren't empty words. When he said these words, he had already made up his mind.
10,000 spirit essence stones was an astronomical number to Mo Feilin.
But to Mo Qingyun, it was just a matter of a few furnaces of second grade pills. It wasn't difficult at all.
If it really didn't work, he could take out some martial skills and auction them off in the auction house in Lianyun City.
Although this might cause some unnecessary trouble, Mo Qingyun was willing to take this risk for Mo Feilin.
"Fourth Aunt?"
When Mo Qingyun called out, Mo Feilin and the other two were stunned. They looked at Mo Qingyun in shock.
After a short moment of shock, Wu Rou's face flushed red and she looked at Mo Feilin shyly.
However, from Wu Rou's expression, she didn't seem to reject Mo Qingyun's actions.
Even though Wu Rou didn't say anything, Wu Qing's face darkened when she heard Zhang Xuan's words. She said coldly, "You're young, but you sure are arrogant. 10,000 spirit essence stones aren't something that can be easily obtained."
Seeing how arrogant Wu Qing was, Mo Qingyun looked at her with disdain. Then, he turned to Mo Feilin and said, "Fourth Uncle, let's go first. With an unwanted yellow-faced shrew around, it won't be easy for you to talk to Fourth Aunt."
Yellow-Faced shrew!
As soon as Mo Qingyun said those words, Wu Qing and the other two's faces changed again. They quickly turned to look at Mo Qingyun.
At this moment, not only were Wu Qing and the other two looking at Mo Qingyun, but even the guests and the employees of the Pavilion of Herbs were looking at Mo Qingyun in shock.
Many people knew about Wu Rou and Wu Feilin's background. They were from the Wu Clan of Ten Li Town, and they had some influence in Lianyun City. They could be considered a second-rate power in Lianyun City.
Yet, a country bumpkin actually dared to speak to Wu Qing in such a manner. It was truly shocking.
"Country bumpkin, you're courting death!"
Wu Qing flew into a rage when she heard Mo Qingyun's words. She raised her hand and sent a slap toward Mo Qingyun.
Mo Feilin's face changed when he saw Wu Qing's actions. He hurriedly explained, "Big Sister Qing, please don't be angry. Qing Yun didn't mean it that way …"
At the same time, Mo Feilin raised his hand to block Wu Qing's attack.
Wu Qing might be young, but she was a True Energy Realm first layer expert. Her slap wasn't something that Mo Qingyun could withstand.
Even though Mo Feilin managed to block Wu Qing's slap, he was still forced to retreat. His face was a little red, and his blood was in turmoil.
"Feilin, are you alright?"
Wu Rou asked worriedly when she saw Mo Feilin in such a state. She helped Mo Feilin up and looked at Wu Qing reproachfully. "Big Sister, you're too much. How could you hit Feilin so hard?"
"Hmph! How can you blame me for that? He was the one who wanted to take the slap for that brat! "
Wu Qing replied nonchalantly when she saw Mo Feilin's injuries.
Then, she turned to look at Mo Qingyun coldly and said, "Brat, I'll give you a chance to apologize on account that Mo Feilin took the slap for you. Slap yourself a hundred times and kowtow to me, and I'll let you off this once."
"A hundred times and kowtow to you?"
A cold glint flashed across Mo Qingyun's eyes when he heard Wu Qing's words. With a haughty look on his face, he said coldly, "Let me tell you this. If you apologize to Fourth Uncle right now, I'll let you off this once on account that you're Fourth Aunt's elder sister. Otherwise, even if you apologize to me in the future, I won't give you another chance.
"You want me to apologize to you? What a joke! You're just a country bumpkin! What right do you have to make me apologize to you?"
Wu Qing sneered coldly when she heard Mo Qingyun's words. It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
After sneering for a moment, Wu Qing turned to Wu Rou and Mo Feilin and said, "You've seen it for yourself. It's not that I didn't give him a chance, it's just that he chose not to fight for it."
"This …"
Hearing Wu Qing's words, Wu Rou and Mo Feilin hesitated for a moment.
Asking Mo Qingyun to slap himself a hundred times and kowtow to him was simply too much.
However, Wu Qing had an extraordinary background. Now that Mo Qingyun had offended her, Mo Feilin was worried that Wu Qing would seek revenge on Mo Qingyun.
Amidst the silence, one of the apothecaries suddenly spoke up. He looked at Mo Qingyun and sneered coldly, "Brat, if I were you, I would kowtow to Miss Wu Qing right now and slap myself a hundred times!" "Hahaha!
"I believe that given Miss Wu Qing's magnanimity, she'll surely let you off," the alchemist said as he looked at Wu Qing with a flattering smile.
Wu Qing was clearly enjoying the flattery of the alchemist. Hearing those words, a gleeful smile appeared on her face. She looked at Mo Qingyun haughtily, waiting for Mo Qingyun to kowtow to her and apologize.
However, just as everyone was waiting for Mo Qingyun to make his next move …
Mo Qing Yun's face darkened as he shot a disdainful look at the alchemist who had just spoken, "If I were you, I would shut up right now and take good care of this pill cauldron. Otherwise, if this batch of Yuan Gathering Pills explodes, given Wu Qing's magnanimity, she won't let you off easily."
With Mo Qingyun's eye of discernment, he could tell that there was a problem with the cauldron. The cauldron was too big, and if this went on, there was a high chance that it would explode.
Other than that, Mo Qingyun also noticed that Wu Rou and Mo Feilin were here to purchase medicinal herbs to forge pills.
However, they chose to forge pills on the spot, and this alchemist was the one who would be forging the pills for them.
Of course, the pills that Wu Qing and Mo Feilin were forging weren't graded.
The higher the grade of a pill, the more difficult it would be to forge it. As such, one couldn't afford to be disturbed in the slightest.
The pills that were being forged in the hall were all low-grade pills. Under normal circumstances, as long as one wasn't disturbed, nothing would happen.
