Even when facing Long Fei Ye and Gu Qi Sha, Head Elder Xie didn't hold back.
He said, "Your Highness Duke of Qin, Mu Ling'er has been wanted by the Council of Elders for a long time. You should be aware of this. Today's challenge is her personal matter and has nothing to do with Medicine City. Old Man is only apologizing on behalf of Medicine City because of you. If Pill Fiend Pharmacy insists on keeping her, then don't blame Medicine City for not giving Your Highness face. "
These words were directed at Long Fei Ye. As for Gu Qi Sha, Head Elder Xie didn't even look at him.
This made Gu Qi Sha extremely displeased. His figure blurred as he suddenly appeared in front of Elder Xie. He was practically right in front of Elder Xie's face as he coldly asked, "Do you believe that I won't destroy your entire Medicine City?!"
Head Elder Xie lived up to his reputation as the leader of the Council of Elders. His expression didn't change as he coldly replied, "If Pill Fiend Pharmacy wants to become enemies with Medicine City over this matter, then Medicine City will accompany you to the end!"
"I'll kill you right now!" Gu Qi Sha immediately raised his bony claws.
Long Fei Ye furrowed his brows and looked towards Han Yunxi, as if asking for Han Yunxi's opinion.
Han Yunxi knew that the most logical thing to do right now was to stop Gu Qi Sha, but she hesitated. She wanted to slap this old thing to death even more than Gu Qi Sha did!
Head Elder Xie didn't move even though Gu Qi Sha was about to make a move. It was as if he had steeled his heart to believe that Gu Qi Sha wouldn't actually attack.
However, Gu Qi Sha didn't hold back. His palm came crashing down on Head Elder Xie. At this critical moment, Mu Ling'er suddenly rushed out from behind Han Yunxi and pushed Gu Qi Sha away. "No! I'll go back with him! "
Gu Qi Sha's palm hit nothing but air.
Head Elder Xie finally realized that Gu Qi Sha wasn't just bluffing. His heart was filled with lingering fear, but he didn't show it.
Despite his fear, Mu Ling'er's compromise only made Head Elder Xie even more domineering. "Men, take her away!"
"No need, I can walk on my own!"
Mu Ling'er was a crybaby. At this moment, she really wanted to cry, but she held it in. Gu Qi Sha's tall figure was enough to strengthen her resolve.
"Qi Brother, we'll meet again in the end."
She was already sobbing silently in her heart. She really, really wanted to hide behind him for a while longer, but she still gritted her teeth and resolutely strode out from behind him.
Goodbye, Qi Brother.
Ling 'er will miss you every day.
Han Yunxi, goodbye.
Actually … actually, I've always wanted to call you sister.
"Stinky girl, you want to leave after losing to me? Get the hell back here! "Gu Qi Sha shouted angrily.
Mu Ling'er turned to look at Han Yunxi. Clearly, she wanted Han Yunxi to persuade her. The secret that Gu Qi Sha was Qi Brother was revealed to her by Han Yunxi. She knew that as long as Han Yunxi spoke, Qi Brother's anger would be extinguished instantly.
Han Yunxi was the most rational woman in the room. She knew the severity of the situation.
As expected, Gu Qi Sha also turned to look at Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi didn't say anything. She really did know the severity of the situation.
Mu Ling'er was in the wrong first, and Pill Fiend Pharmacy couldn't claim any justice. This Head Elder Xie had clearly come prepared. If Gu Qi Sha attacked in front of everyone, Pill Fiend Pharmacy would undoubtedly be attacked by the entire medical community. Long Fei Ye had enough power for her to rely on, but there were too many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to hit her while she was down.
She could only blame herself for trying so hard to help Mu Ling'er hide it from Gu, but she had neglected Medical City's Elder Council.
Han Yunxi was still silent when Long Fei Ye, the calmest of them all, coldly said, "Guards!"
As soon as he spoke, more than twenty black-robed hidden guards appeared and surrounded the crowd.
He didn't waste any time and raised his eyebrows Coldly at Head Elder Xie. His meaning couldn't be more obvious. He wouldn't back down on this matter!
Han Yunxi was overjoyed. Since Long Fei Ye had shown such an attitude, she had no choice but to throw caution to the wind.
Unexpectedly, many of Medicine City's guards stepped out from the crowd and surrounded them.
Both sides faced each other with swords drawn. The atmosphere was tense.
At that moment, a familiar voice called out from the crowd, "Everyone, stop!"
An old man walked out. He wore a grey robe, had a white beard, and had a benevolent face.
Seeing this, Gu Qi Sha let out a sinister laugh. Head Elder Xie was very surprised. He quickly walked over and bowed politely, "Third Elder Shen, you've also come."
Only then did everyone realize that this old man was the third elder of Medical City's Elder Council, Shen Jueming. Pill Fiend Pharmacy's reputation was truly impressive. Even Medical City's third elder had come.
Medical City and Medicine City were like one family, but Medical City's strength wasn't something that Medicine City could compare to. Shen Jueming's status as the third elder of Medical City's Elder Council was enough to make Head Elder Xie, Xie Deyi, show some respect.
His polite greeting clearly showed his superiority.
Third Elder Shen nodded at him, then turned to Gu Qi Sha and said, "Gu Qi Sha, this old man thought that you had already turned over a new leaf when you were able to open a pharmacy and sell medicine. I didn't think that you would still be so impudent and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! If you dare touch a single hair on Head Elder Xie's head, Medical City won't let you off! "
"Hahaha …" Gu Qi Sha threw his head back and laughed with disdain. He extended his terrifying claws towards Third Elder Shen and said, "I'll accompany you to the end!"
"What, Medical City and Medicine City are joining forces to bully a small pharmacy?" Han Yunxi's voice was cold. She appeared angry, but a trace of amusement flashed through her eyes.
"Qin Wangfei, you've misunderstood. Old Man only taught a lesson to a traitorous disciple of Medical City. Pill Fiend Pharmacy sells medicine and does good deeds. Old Man admires you. "
Third Elder Shen stroked his beard and continued, "There's no need to ruin Pill Fiend Pharmacy's reputation because of a little girl. If the two of you don't mind, then listen to Old Man's words. Let's each take a step back and turn a big problem into a small one. "
At his words, Head Elder Xie quickly interjected, "May Third Elder Shen preside over justice!"
Medicine City wasn't afraid of trouble, especially since they had Medical City as their backing. Han Yunxi had arrogantly made a bet with Third Elder Shen because of the crown prince's illness. She had long offended Third Elder Shen.
How could Third Elder Shen give her a good time to eat?
"Since Third Elder Shen says so, then this wangfei will give Medical City some face."
Han Yunxi gave in as well. She shot Gu Qi Sha a look, who unhappily withdrew despite his reluctance.
Third Elder Shen thought it over before he said, "Mu Ling 'er provoked us first and was defeated later. Since we've spoken first, then it's reasonable to …"
Before he could finish, Head Elder Xie grew anxious. "Third Elder Shen, Mu Ling 'er was already …"
Third Elder Shen gave him an unhappy look. "Old Man hasn't finished speaking yet. If Head Elder Xie is dissatisfied, then Old Man can just ignore it!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
Head Elder Xie was resentful. Han Yunxi saw this and knew that this old thing was very difficult to deal with.
Third Elder Shen continued, "Since we've spoken first, then Mu Ling 'er should fulfill her promise. However, she's not a free woman to begin with, so we can forget about her loyalty to Pill Fiend Pharmacy. As Old Man sees it, we'll punish her to come to Pill Fiend Pharmacy every three months to make up a prescription as an apology. As for Medicine City's internal affairs, esteemed wangfei shouldn't get involved. "
This was a reasonable and reasonable arrangement. Everyone present gave their approval, but Head Elder Xie wasn't satisfied. "Make up a prescription every three months? What's the difference between that and being loyal to Pill Fiend Pharmacy? "
With Mu Ling 'er's skills, she could only make up a single new prescription in three months, or even improve a single one. An ordinary pharmacist might not be able to make a single prescription in two or three years.
Third Elder Shen's expression darkened as he angrily said, "It's your Medicine City's fault for not teaching properly in the first place. The entire world knows about the challenge. If Head Elder Xie only wants to apologize, then Old Man can't do anything about it. "
As he spoke, he bowed to Han Yunxi and prepared to leave.
Head Elder Xie hastily stopped him. "Third Elder Shen, please wait. We'll do as you say!"
He originally thought that Shen Jueming would use this opportunity to scheme against Han Yunxi, but who would've thought that Shen Jueming would be so fair? If he had allowed Han Yunxi to make the first move, then Han Yunxi would've made a grave mistake. But now that Third Elder Shen had intervened, if he didn't give in, then it would've made him seem unreasonable and lose his bearing.
But none of this was important. Medicine City would lose Medical City's support on this matter. The gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
"Qin Wangfei, what do you think?" As Third Elder Shen spoke, he gave Han Yunxi a meaningful look.
Han Yunxi was well aware of the severity of this matter and the severity of the consequences. Since Third Elder Shen had already intervened, she had no choice but to agree even if she didn't want to.
If she allowed Mu Ling'er to visit once every three months, then they would at least know how Mu Ling'er was doing in Medicine City. Medicine City's Council of Elders wouldn't take advantage of this opportunity to take her life.
After some hesitation, Han Yunxi finally nodded. "Fine. Out of respect for Third Elder Shen, I won't pursue this matter any further."
Head Elder Xie snorted disdainfully at her words and coldly ordered, "Men, take her away!"
Mu Ling'er turned to look at Gu Qi Sha and loudly said, "Gu Qi Sha, wait for me, alright?"
As soon as the people from Medical City arrived, Gu Qi Sha's heart was filled with nothing but hatred. He didn't even look at Mu Ling'er as he casually replied, "Why should I wait for you?"
"Wait for me to come back. One day, I'll definitely defeat you!" Mu Ling'er said earnestly.
It wasn't clear if Gu Qi Sha heard her clearly, but he snorted disdainfully and ignored her.
Mu Ling'er smiled helplessly. Just as she was about to leave, Han Yunxi shouted, "Pill Fiend Pharmacy welcomes you to challenge us again at any time!"
"Definitely!" Mu Ling'er replied domineeringly.
She didn't allow the guards to take her away and strode away without saying a word. Everyone was in awe of this little girl's unyielding character. Gu Qi Sha, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and stared at Third Elder Shen.
Mu Ling'er's figure had already disappeared into the crowd, but he was still staring at her.
Now that Mu Ling'er had left, the matter was over. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye didn't even bother to look at Head Elder Xie as they turned around and entered the store.
Sooner or later, they would seek revenge from Head Elder Xie for what happened today. Han Yunxi's only wish was that Mu Ling'er would be a little smarter and not try to show off and suffer.
Head Elder Xie wanted to invite Third Elder Shen for a drink, but Third Elder Shen unexpectedly declined and entered Pill Fiend Pharmacy instead. Head Elder Xie could only drop the subject and leave.
Once the parties involved had left, the onlookers also dispersed. Mu Ying Dong was chatting with a tall and imposing masked man. Ouyang Ning Nuo followed them from a distance and muttered to himself suspiciously, "Jun Yi Xie?"
Regardless of who this masked man was, Mu Ying Dong must have some ulterior motive for allowing the Mu Clan's genius to fall into Head Elder Xie's hands.
At this moment, inside Pill Fiend Pharmacy, Third Elder Shen was drinking tea and discussing business with Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye.
Outsiders all assumed that Third Elder Shen and Han Yunxi had a grudge against each other, but they didn't know that Third Elder Shen had remembered Han Yunxi's kindness because of the Gu incident. Third Elder Shen was actually biased towards Han Yunxi.
"Third Elder, it's all thanks to you today." Han Yunxi sincerely expressed her thanks.
"Esteemed Princess Consort, you're being too polite. This Old Man is here today because he has something important to tell you," Third Elder Shen said in a low voice.
