"Buying dicine!" Ye Guichen looked around the Chinese dicine shop.
The pharmacy was quite large, with a counter for preparing prescriptions outside, and what seed to be consultation rooms inside, from which patients occasionally exited.
The clerk, hearing this, imdiately started to introduce, "Sir, you have quite the eye. Our Yunji Hall is renowned in Yun City. Judging by your appearance, is this your first ti here? We stock over three thousand types of Chinese dicine. Whatever you need, we can supply it the sa day."
While enthusiastically introducing the products, the clerk led Ye Guichen to the counter.
Ye Guichen nodded and asked, "Do you have all kinds of dicine?"
"That’s right, what do you need?"
"Snake seeds, gentian powder, and boundless root," Ye Guichen nad three types of Chinese dicine.
Hearing this, the clerk’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Guichen suspiciously, with a sowhat unfriendly tone, "You sure?"
"Sure!" Ye Guichen nodded.
The clerk snorted, his attitude no longer as warm as before. "Alright, wait here, I’ll get the pharmacist."
With that, the clerk turned and went inside, soon returning with an elder.
The elder seed to be in his sixties but walked with a steady step.
After coming out, the elder first looked Ye Guichen up and down, his tone cold rather than enthusiastic. "Custor, what Chinese dicine do you want to buy?"
"Snake seeds, gentian powder, and boundless root," Ye Guichen repeated.
"Ha ha, young man, are you here to make trouble?" Unexpectedly, after hearing the three nas, the elder laughed aloud. "I have practiced dicine for decades, knowing no less than five or six thousand kinds of Chinese herbs, but I have never heard of the three you ntioned. Tell , who sent you here to stir up trouble?"
As the elder finished speaking, two more clerks ca out from inside, standing behind Ye Guichen, ready to act if he said anything wrong.
Ye Guichen detected the aggression in their words but still shook his head, "I just ca to buy dicine. If you don’t have it, I’ll go ask elsewhere."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Young man, since you’re here to make trouble, you can’t leave so easily!" The elder waved his hand, and the clerks directly blocked Ye Guichen’s way.
The clerk who had introduced the shop to Ye Guichen snorted coldly, "You clearly don’t know what kind of place Yunji Hall is. Not anyone can just co and make trouble here. Moreover, this is our Mr. Su, the vice president of the Chinese dicine Association. He has seen more kinds of Chinese dicine than you’ve had als. How dare you make up a few nas and co to buy dicine. What else could you be here for but trouble?"
"Exactly. Tell us, who sent you? If you don’t confess, don’t bla us for being rude." Several clerks glared at Ye Guichen.
By now, many onlookers had gathered, drawn by the commotion.
"What’s happening?"
"Not sure, looks like that guy made up so dicine nas to buy."
"Made up nas? What’s the joke? Doesn’t he know where he is? Mr. Su of Yunji Hall is a top figure in the Chinese dicine Association. And he wants to stir up trouble here?"
"That guy is dood, he’s picked the wrong place to ss with."
The elder everyone was speaking about was indeed Mr. Su, nad Su Tong. Not only was he a senior doctor at Yunji Hall, but he was also highly renowned. Many ca here explicitly for his expertise.
Ye Guichen felt sowhat helpless.
"Sir, if you don’t know these herbs, just say so. Saying I’m here to make trouble? There’s no such logic, is there?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The clerk, enraged, reached for Ye Guichen’s shoulder. "Mr. Su is Yunji Hall’s golden signboard. If he says it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist. Seems like we need to teach you a lesson!"
As soon as the clerk’s hand landed on Ye Guichen’s shoulder, Ye Guichen gave a light shake. "Didn’t expect there to be such unreasonable places in the world."
The slight shake made the clerk feel a wave of numbness pass through his hand as if he was electrocuted.
Instinctively, the clerk pulled back, cursing under his breath, "Damn, turns out he’s trained. Catch him!"
With a wave of his hand, the other clerks pounced forward.
Ye Guichen frowned, clearly annoyed.
Just for asking about so herbs they didn’t have, they accused him of causing trouble. How tyrannical.
"Get lost!" Ye Guichen wouldn’t stand for this. With two slaps, he sent the rushing clerks flying.
The crowd gasped, stepping back in fear.
Su Tong narrowed his eyes, "Well, you seem to have co prepared. Boy, were you sent by that old bastard surnad Mai?"
Su Tong strode forward, though his fra was sowhat thin, he exuded an intimidating presence.
Staring straight at Ye Guichen, it felt like he was trying to see through him.
Ye Guichen found it increasingly odd. "Mr. Su, I respect you as an elder and don’t wish to fight. I don’t know the person you ntioned. I’m here simply to buy so dicine. If you don’t have it, just tell . Why resort to violence and attempt to detain ?"
"What?" Su Tong, surprised, observed Ye Guichen’s unwavering expression. "You’re really not here to make trouble?"
"Sir, if I were here to make trouble, based on you lot, I wouldn’t need to lift a finger to flatten this place." Ye Guichen chuckled dismissively and turned to leave.
