"Hiss …"
Seeing the dignified Young Master Liu being kicked out of the medicine pavilion like a dead dog, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
As the disciple of the Junior Master Apothecary, Liu Chengyuan was considered a leading figure among the younger generation of Frost Dragon City.
Therefore …
Although Liu Chengyuan was proud, arrogant, and condescending …
Everyone understood …
Whether it was his background or talent, he had the right to be arrogant!
However, at this moment …
"This, this, this … this kid is simply … nature-defying!"
"Just because of a Skandha Flower, he broke through six levels of the medicine ocean and became the master of the medicine pavilion … such a feat is not an exaggeration to call it a legend!"
"I just don't know who will have the last laugh in the battle between the dragon from across the river and the local bully."
The sudden change in the situation shocked many onlookers.
Unknowingly …
The way they looked at Chen Xiao was filled with awe and envy.
It was hard to imagine that this unknown young man in white was now the master of the Ink Fragrance Medicine Pavilion.
It was true that the Junior Master Apothecary had a wide network of connections and was very powerful.
However, the status of the master of the medicine pavilion was not inferior at all. In fact, it was even higher!
To many people, Chen Xiao becoming the master of the medicine pavilion was like a fish leaping through the dragon's gate. It was a great opportunity that had fallen from the sky!
"As long as he manages the medicine pavilion well and digests its power, he will become a super big shot in the empire in a few decades." Someone was full of envy and jealousy.
However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Xiao opened his mouth.
"I'm only here to buy medicine. I'm not interested in becoming your master."
In an instant, the bustling Medicine Pavilion fell into a frightening silence.
The customers who were discussing widened their eyes. Their bodies swayed, and the corners of their mouths twitched. They could not believe their ears.
There were even some who slipped and fell flat on their faces.
Originally, Sister Lu had lost all hope. She was even prepared to endure Chen Xiao's revenge.
However, at this moment, she was dumbstruck. She was about to go crazy.
"He actually rejected it? How could he refuse such a great opportunity?! "
"Did I hear that right? This kid … he f * cking rejected it!"
Everyone's expressions were dull and their bodies were stiff. It was as if they were in a dream. It was an illusion.
This kind of unattainable good thing was actually rejected by Chen Xiao flatly!
"He … Does he not know that only by becoming the master of the Medicine Pavilion will he be able to contend against Little Master Apothecary?"
Even old woman Mo Dong's face was filled with astonishment. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected …
Chen Xiao actually refused!
"But the Black Fragrance Medicinal Pavilion has an ancestral rule. Anyone who can pass through the sixth level of the Medicinal Sea will become the new owner of the pavilion."
Mo Dong still wanted to persuade him, but Chen Xiao shook his head again. "Your ancestral teachings have nothing to do with me. I'm just here to buy medicine. I have no interest in being the master of the Medicine Pavilion."
From beginning to end, Chen Xiao didn't merge with Planet Cloud Sea.
He only regarded himself as a passerby and did not want to be too deeply involved with this place.
"However, Young Master is alone. If the Junior Honorable Apothecary were to make things difficult for you, you might not be able to move an inch in Frost Dragon City!"
At this point, Mo Dong's tone had already darkened slightly.
Although she scrupulously abided by the ancestral rules, she had her own pride after being the Medicine Pavilion's master for so many years.
Chen Xiao had already rejected her repeatedly. If she continued to stick to him, she would be belittling the prestige of the Medicine Pavilion!
"The Junior Honorable Apothecary are to make things difficult for me?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao chuckled and shook his head. "If he dares to come, I'll just slaughter him!"
Having said that, he swiped his card to pay the bill and quickly disappeared.
The place was completely silent, leaving only a group of dumbfounded customers.
'If he dares to come, I'll just slaughter him!'
How domineering was that!
In the entire Cloud Sea Empire, there were probably not many people who would dare to say such words to the Junior Honorable Apothecary!
"Damn, there's going to be a good show …"
Just as everyone was looking at each other, deeply shocked by Chen Xiao …
Suddenly, someone let out a scream of horror.
"It's … it's him! It's really him! "
In the woman's hand was a simple optical computer. Her face was filled with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
Someone beside her was curious and could not help but ask, "You mean that young man? Is he very famous? "
"No … he's not!"
As if she had seen some kind of terrifying scene, the woman trembled slightly and covered her mouth with one hand. She stuttered to explain to the crowd.
"Do you remember that there were many experts outside the city who wanted to kill the people of the Chu Clan?"
"Of course we remember this. This is a rare event in recent years! Could it be … "
Someone asked in surprise, "That young man is the disciple of one of the experts?"
If that was the case, it would explain why Chen Xiao was so fearless.
After all, his foundation was not in Frost Dragon City. He also had the support of experts. Naturally, he was not afraid of the Junior Honorable Apothecary.
"No … it's not like that …"
The woman shook her head repeatedly, her face even paler.
"If it's not like that, then what is it?"
The crowd of customers was confused.
Other than this explanation, was there any other possibility?
"Not long ago, the Chu Family arrived at Frost Dragon City. They fought with the experts who blocked their way outside the city."
"However, there was a young man in the Chu Family team. He single-handedly killed all the people who blocked his way. Their blood dyed the gates of Frost Dragon City red!"
The woman took a deep breath. Her expression was still filled with shock. Then, she spoke word by word.
"He … is that young man just now!"
This time, it was no longer quiet. Instead, it was completely silent.
It was as if a black hole had appeared between heaven and earth.
The sound of voices, footsteps, breathing, and heartbeats …
All the sounds were completely swallowed up by it.
Only a terrifying chill permeated the crowd, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. An indescribable shadow oppressed them until they could not breathe.
Only the woman's voice was still reverberating in everyone's ears like a cursed curse.
"The battle has come to an end, and all the experts have been killed. This man and his saber have entered Frost Dragon City!"
After an unknown period of time.
The old woman, Mo Dong, suddenly shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"I see. I was wrong. He did not even care about the Lin Family, let alone a mere Junior Honorable Apothecary."
But soon, Mo Dong's expression became cold again.
"Hong Yi, your performance today was very good. You will be promoted to manager of the medicine pavilion. You will be treated well. As for you, Zheng Lu, you will be stripped of all your benefits and demoted to an ordinary servant. If you cause trouble again, you will be expelled from the Black Fragrance Medicine Pavilion forever! "
His sharp voice caused Sister Lu's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley.
…
"I have the Five Grain Flower. I only need to refine it a little. Tonight, I will be able to remove the poison from Chu Yueqi's wounds."
After leaving the Black Fragrance Medicine Pavilion, Chen Xiao returned the way he came.
Not long after, Chen Xiao's mind stirred. He quickened his pace and walked into an empty alley.
The alley was deep and quiet. The accumulated snow was quite deep, giving off a faint chill.
"You have followed me all the way. Are you not going to come out?"
Chen Xiao's calm voice sounded.
