Aunt i said indifferently, "Think whatever you want, but if you dare to keep entangling with Lady Murong, the consequences are sothing you can't afford. Don't think that just because you saved Lady Murong's life, you can do whatever you want. If you want, I can give you money."
"Haha, Aunt i, I realize you overestimate yourself too much," Ye Guichen laughed wryly. "If you're just here to warn today, then don't bother with unnecessary words. I can responsibly tell you, I don't like Murong. Even if I did like her, that's between us. There's no need for an outsider to interfere."
Saying that, Ye Guichen opened the car door, put one foot out, then paused and looked back at Aunt i. "Aunt i, I also advise you not to take yourself too seriously. You're rely a dog of the Mu Family. Others may be intimidated by your barking because of the Mu Family's na, but it doesn't work on . You can go back and tell your master that I won't bow to pressure. No matter what happens between Murong and in the future, the fact that you're flaunting your superiority today and trying to treat as soone you can crush at will is a miscalculation."
Ye Guichen slamd the door, not giving Aunt i a chance to argue, and left.
Aunt i trembled with rage, unable to believe Ye Guichen would be so ungrateful.
Several of her subordinates, angry at Ye Guichen's audacity, were ready to act but hesitated when Aunt i gave no signal, and instead clenched their fists while watching Ye Guichen's departing figure.
For a long ti, Aunt i stared at Ye Guichen until he entered the Shennong Hall pharmacy across the street. She then cald down slightly, her eyes reflecting endless resentnt, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
The mont the call connected, Aunt i's lofty deanor imdiately changed to one of humility and respect. "Miss, I've conveyed your words, but that boy nad Ye Guichen completely ignored them and even claid he doesn't regard the Mu Family at all."
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before finally responding, "Xiao i, you should co back for now. Keep a close watch lately; I don't want just anyone entering our Mu Family. As for that boy nad Ye Guichen, he did save Xiao Rong's life, and Xiao Rong sees him as a lifesaver. Xiao Rong has been pampered since childhood and has always been indifferent to n. Suddenly being cared for by a stranger must have stirred her emotions."
"That kid seems to want to open a martial arts hall and a pharmacy. Should I arrange for soone to ss it up?" Aunt i asked tentatively.
The other party remained silent for a few more seconds before saying, "Let's wait and see for now; I don't want unnecessary complications right now."
"Okay!" Aunt i, though reluctant, hung up the phone, took one last deep look at the direction of the pharmacy, and instructed her people to leave.
On the other side, a similarly aged beautiful woman hung up the phone and rubbed her temples.
Though she wore a simple long dress, her powerful aura was even more intense than Aunt i's.
But at this mont, her face was filled with worry, her furrowed brow resembling Murong's by seven or eight points.
"Ye Guichen, huh, an insignificant boy with no background, interesting!" The woman glanced at herself in the mirror, stood up, the corners of her mouth curving into a smile, as if Ye Guichen was just a plaything to her.
Not taking action against Ye Guichen imdiately was not due to rcy or because he saved Murong. It was simply because he was interesting, adding so ripples to her otherwise monotonous life.
That's all.
Ye Guichen naturally wouldn't take any of this to heart.
He always believed in confronting challenges as they co; overthinking such matters would only hinder proper business.
Upon returning to the pharmacy, Ye Guichen could mostly guess the identity of the other party.
The woman who called herself Aunt i was likely soone close to Murong's mother.
To Murong's mother, sending Aunt i to warn him was already a big gesture.
"Haha, only people like you would use your background as a source of pride!" Ye Guichen shook his head self-deprecatingly, his gaze falling inside the pharmacy.
While drinking a cup of water at the café, the pharmacy suddenly seed to have more people.
And there were sounds of argunts.
The pharmacy hasn't opened yet, so it's unlikely people were there for consultations, and the argunts indicated people were causing trouble.
Liu Xinyi, mixed up among the crowd, saw Ye Guichen from afar and hurried over, her face full of anxiety. "Mr. Ye, you're finally here."
Ye Guichen gestured towards the arguing crowd. "What's going on?"
"Oh, I don't know either. This morning everything was fine. Grandpa Mai had just opened the door to check if there was anything else to tidy up before opening, when suddenly a group of people claiming to be from the Chinese dicine Association showed up and said we aren't qualified to open a pharmacy."
"That's why Grandpa Mai is inside arguing with them. Brother Tieshou is also helping out, worried that Grandpa Mai might be at a disadvantage."
"Qualification?" Ye Guichen was puzzled.
Opening a pharmacy definitely requires many approvals, but Ye Guichen believed with Mai Gu's ability, those necessary docunts should have been already handled.
However, upon hearing the words Chinese dicine Association, Ye Guichen's lips curled up in realization.
Ever since Mai Gu decided to open Shennong Hall, the Chinese dicine Association has been causing trouble behind the scenes. The incident with Cao Xiu's death, though unrelated to Ye Guichen, initially had them suspecting him. While the Martial Arts Association wanted to kill Ye Guichen, the Chinese dicine Association remained silent.
Even during Shennong Hall's renovation, they didn't co to cause any trouble.
Today they suddenly visited, boldly under the na of the Chinese dicine Association, implying soone powerful was backing them?
Thinking of this, Ye Guichen didn't delay and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
Inside the crowd, Mai Gu was already red in the face, pointing at a middle-aged man in front of him, arguing, "We've long obtained the Traditional Chinese dicine qualification certificate. Now you're saying it was improperly issued? Based on what? What evidence do you have?"
"Old man, our words are the evidence! Also, your renovation here does not et the Jinling Chinese dicine Association's standards. It must be demolished and redone, or you can't open for business!" The middle-aged man was extrely arrogant, completely disregarding Mai Gu's argunts.
Mai Gu trembled with anger. "You're being unreasonable! If you have the guts, get Fang Wushang here and let him tell personally!"
"Old man, Fang Wushang isn't soone you can see! Hmph, we've made our position clear. Whether you rectify it is up to you, but if you dare to open, you'll have to bear all the consequences. Don't bla us for not warning you!" The middle-aged man finished, glaring at Mai Gu fiercely, and turned to leave.
Ye Guichen stepped forward to block his way. "Were you sent by Fang Wushang?"
The middle-aged man froze, sizing up Ye Guichen. "Who are you?"
