Chapter 1989: The Apothecary's Shopkeeper
Therefore, everyone silently transformed into streaks of rainbow light, disappearing in all directions under the cover of darkness.Only Wang Yuanzhong and Zhan Chou, after looking at each other, nodde...When Jiang Yun returned, he suddenly stepped into the pharmacy. Ji Hongfei naturally saw him and had been secretly observing Jiang Yun.
Although he knew that Jiangyun entered the pharmacy for something he was looking for, he really didn't expect that what Jiangyun wanted to buy was the same thing as his people!
Therefore, when he heard the man shout out "Xian Mingzhi," those three words, of course, he had to speak up to stop him!
As Ji Hongfei spoke, the medicine shop fell silent.
Even those outside the shop, who had originally been preparing to disperse after catching a glimpse of the commotion, also stopped in their tracks and turned their attention to what was happening inside the store.
Ji Hongfei had strode to Jiang Yun's face, after coldly glancing at Jiang Yun once, he said: "This Xianming branch, I want it!"
This result was within Jiang Yun's expectations, which is also why he rushed in so anxiously.
Jiang Yun also glanced at Ji Hongfei and calmly said, "I'm sorry, I have already paid for this Xian Mingzhi with source stones!"
The apothecary also spread out the storage device in his hand and said to Ji Hongfei, “Young Master Ji, you came a step too late. This customer just finished paying with source stones, and now this section of Xian Ming branch belongs to this customer.”
Ji Hongfei's face broke into a cold smile. "I said, how that thief kept refusing to say what you need."
He must have eavesdropped on our conversation and knows we're also looking for Xian Mingzhi. He's urging you to come quickly and buy it!
"Suit yourself!"
After dropping that sentence, Jiang Yun completely ignored Ji Hongfei and turned to the waiter instead: "Give me the Immortal Ming Branch!"
"Wait!"
Seeing the fellow reach out to take the Xianming Branch, Ji Hongfei loudly spoke up again, "Although he paid the source stone, this Xianming Branch is still within your counter. Now, I offer double the price!"
As he spoke, Ji Hongfei also took out a storage magic artifact and handed it to the clerk.
The fellow didn't reach out to take it, but instead grinned and said, "Young Master Ji, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it"
"Rules!" Ji Hongfei said coldly. "The rules are ones you set yourselves, so naturally, you call the shots."
"If you can't make the decision, then let your master come out!"
As soon as Ji Hongfei finished speaking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the second floor of the pharmacy: "Haha, it's Young Master Ji! It's been a while!"
From the stairs, walked down a young man in fine clothes with a beaming smile.
Seeing this person, someone in the crowd couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Some even looked at Jiang Yun with a schadenfreude expression in their eyes.
And Ji Hongfei was also slightly startled, but then immediately beamed with a smile, his demeanor extremely courteous as he cupped his hands and bowed to the man in fine robes: "I didn't expect Brother Xue to be here!"
"Brother Xue, why didn't you give me a heads up when you arrived Do you think less of your younger brother"
The man shook his head and said, "Where's that I just arrived yesterday, I haven't had time to visit some old friends yet!"
As he spoke, the man's gaze swept over Jiang Yun before continuing, "So, Young Master Ji has something to see me about"
Everyone knows that this man in fine clothes must have known what happened at the pharmacy long ago. He's just pretending not to know.
"It's a small matter!" Ji Hongfei nodded. "It's even better with Brother Xue here!"
I had my eye on a certain herbal medicine, but I was too late. Some clueless fellow got to it first.
"This is Brother Xue's territory, and I can't do anything about it. So I decided to buy this item at double the price."
"It's just that your companion said it was against the rules and couldn't make the call, so they asked Brother Xue to come out and preside over justice."
“Oh!” The man’s face showed an expression of realization, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he said, “This… Since the person has already paid, it wouldn't be very appropriate for me to sell the item to Young Master Ji again, would it”
Ji Hongfei's expression changed slightly. He was about to speak, but the beautiful woman who always followed him suddenly spoke up: "This Xian Mingzhi is mine!"
The man's gaze finally landed on the woman and he said, "Miss, you have a very beautiful face. I wonder who you are"
The woman said faintly, "My name is An Ruo Tong!"
"An!" The man repeated the word, his eyes suddenly widening in surprise. "So it's An, the young lady from the Wenqing Clan. My apologies, my apologies!"
Ask the lovers!
These three words, passed into the ears of everyone around, suddenly caused many people to gasp in surprise.
"Aren't the Mengqing clan one of the clans from the western wastelands"
No wonder even Ji Hongfei is courteous to her, she's actually from the Asking Love Clan!
Of course, Ji Hongfei's Golden Eye Clan is only one of the slave clans, and this Asking-Heart Clan is a noble clan. He naturally has to flatter them!
"Unexpectedly, the opening of the Asura Heaven has even piqued the interest of the war clans from the Western Desolate Region!"
For the surrounding clamor, An Ruotong simply ignored it.
Her gaze was fixed on the man in fine clothes as she said, "Brother Xue already knows my background. Would this Xian Mingzhi be for sale"
"If twice the price isn't enough, then I'm willing to offer three times!"
The man in fine clothes didn't answer immediately, but after a moment of thought, he nodded and said: "I have long heard of Miss An, and today is my first meeting with her. Of course, I want to express my admiration!"
"Though this Xianming branch is precious, since it is what Miss An needs, and Miss An is just arriving in the Feixing Realm, as the host, Xue will take it as a gift of greeting and give it to Miss An!"
As for Ji Hongfei, this Hakka man didn't take him seriously at all. So whether it was the conflict between Ji Hongfei and Qian Xiaoshan before, or Ji Hongfei and Jiang Yun fighting over Xian Mingzhi, he knew about it but was too lazy to show up.
But now that An Ruotong, a member of the Questioning Emotions Clan, has come, and considering her status within the clan, which must be high, his attitude naturally changed.
If sacrificing a section of the Immortal Enlightenment Branch can help forge good relations with the Questioning Love Clan, this deal would be incredibly worthwhile!
An Ruo Tong was also straightforward, nodding and saying: "In that case, I thank Brother Xue. In the future, if Brother Xue has time, please come to my clan as a guest!"
"Good!"
Upon hearing An Ruotong's words, a smile also appeared on the face of the man in fine clothes, and his purpose was achieved.
But just then, Ginger Cloud's voice rang out again: "Partner, give me the Xian Ming Branch. I have something to do and no time to waste here!"
Hearing Jiang Yun's abrupt voice, everyone realized Jiang Yun's presence.
The man in fine clothes, after appearing, began chatting with Ji Hongfei and An Ruotong, completely ignoring Jiang Yun.
And now Ginger Cloud is even going to take this piece of Immortal Ming Branch.
This made everyone shake their heads and smile wryly. Isn't this fellow able to see the current situation clearly
Xian Mingzhi had already been given to An Ruotong by the man in fine clothes. Where could he possibly take her
None of these three, including Ji Hongfei, were people he could afford to provoke.
"Buddy, quickly hand over your storage device to Jiang Yun and said: "Guest, you just heard what the shopkeeper said. This Immortal Ming Branch, we don't sell it!"
Gingercloud did not go to retrieve her storage device, but instead said faintly, "This Immortal Brightness Branch I have already paid the source stone for, and it already belongs to me."
“Now that you've all refused to sell, do you want to take it back Where in the world is there such reason!”
What Gingercloud said is certainly reasonable. Throughout history, both buyers and sellers have always followed the principle of "silver for goods."
After someone has paid for something, if someone else suddenly offers a higher price, the shop will go back on their word and sell the item to the person who offered more.
Jiang Yun continued, "As for the fairy-bright branches your shopkeeper wants to give away, they must be different from mine. They have nothing to do with my fairy-bright branch!"
Since you refuse to give it, I'll just have to take it myself!
As he spoke, Jiang Yun reached out and snatched the Xian Ming branch, which was right before his eyes!
