C51 Killing to Warn the Monkey(1)
Just as Xu Dong walked to the entrance of the Xu Mansion's medicine hall, the manager of the medicine hall immediately walked out. He had a flattering smile on his face.
"It's Young Master Xu Dong. I wonder what business do you have here? Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water."
He didn't even look at the manager who was flattering him. Xu Dong just ignored him.
He clearly remembered what they were like when he was still the "trash son of the City Lord."
Of course, it was everyone's instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Xu Dong could understand this instinct. Therefore, Xu Dong would not say anything, nor would he take revenge on them.
However, Xu Dong would never care about them again. No matter what a double-dealing person did, he would never enter Xu Dong's eyes.
He directly brushed past the manager of the pharmacy and did not pay attention to the gradually sinister face of the manager behind him. Xu Dong walked straight into the inner layer of the pharmacy and said lightly.
"No need. If I want to get the medicine, I will get it myself. I don't need to trouble you."
The manager turned around with the same obsequious smile as when they first met, but there was a hint of hidden sinisterness in his eyes. He spoke to Xu Dong.
"If that's the case, then I won't disturb you. I hope the medicine in the pharmacy will catch your eye."
After saying that, the manager left immediately.
From beginning to end, Xu Dong didn't even look at the manager. He was still looking for herbs that could satisfy him.
But after searching for a long time, although Xu Dong found a lot of good herbs, not a single one of them could satisfy him.
"What's going on? If this is all the Xu Mansion has?"
Xu Dong searched the entire inner floor of the pharmacy, but he still couldn't find the Xu Dong he wanted. He couldn't help but curse.
After venting some of his emotions, Xu Dong gradually calmed down.
"What's going on? Logically speaking, there shouldn't only be so little medicinal herbs in the entire Xu Mansion's medicine store! No matter what, there shouldn't only be a few hundred-year-old medicinal herbs of the lowest grade. "
The calm Xu Dong also began to think. Just as Xu Dong was puzzled, he suddenly thought of the sinister look in the manager's eyes when he left.
"Damn it, it should be that manager's doing!"
Xu Dong, who was certain that this matter must be caused by the manager, directly walked to the lobby and stood in front of the manager.
"What did you do? Why can't I find any good medicinal herbs? I think such a big Xu Mansion shouldn't only have so many medicinal herbs!"
Looking at Xu Dong, who was standing in front of him and questioning him, the manager's heart was filled with disdain. He thought to himself,
"You're just a mere trash young master. You want the best medicinal herbs, and you dare to treat me like this! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be the manager of this medicine hall!"
Because Xu Dong had killed Xu Moqiu at night when he was destroying the Xu Mansion, he went to sleep.
While Xu Dong was sleeping, Xu Tianyi unified the Xu Mansion in one night. After that, Xu Dong entered an illusion and stayed in it for two weeks.
Hence, other than very few people at the top level, everyone else in the Xu family thought that Xu Dong had only returned after learning that the current acting patriarch had killed Xu Moqiu and unified the Xu family.
He was certain that Xu Dong was still the same "trash son of the City Lord," just a piece of trash who had come back to live off the acting head of the household. The steward immediately sneered and said that
"That's all I have left. Take it or leave it. It's just a piece of trash who can't awaken his martial soul. I have already wasted a lot of good herbs in the past.
Now that your dad is dead, it's just that the acting patriarch has good intentions. You are still the young master of the Xu Mansion, and you still want to use so many good herbs!"
"What did you say? Do you dare to say what you just said again?"
Xu Dong's voice sounded, and it was as if his voice was going to tear someone apart, causing the manager to be frightened for a moment.
The manager then reacted.
"I'm actually scared by a piece of trash who can't awaken his martial soul!"
The manager, who felt humiliated by Xu Dong, immediately became furious. He shouted loudly at Xu Dong.
"If I say it again, I'll say it again. You are just a piece of trash who can't awaken his Martial Soul. Now that your father is dead, if it wasn't for the fact that the current acting patriarch was kind enough to not chase you away, he would have let you continue to be the young master of the Xu Mansion. Who do you think you are?"
