C28 The Royal Dog
The second floor of Treasure Pavilion was also wide, and the furnishings were similar to the first floor. However, there were less people here, and only a few people were picking things out.
The arrival of Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan had also attracted the attention of several people. One of them stared fixedly at Hai Qinglan and the lustful look in his eyes was not concealed at all. He was about 30 years old and wore a yellow robe. His face was unhealthy and pale, with slanted eyebrows and green pea-sized eyes that emitted a lecherous light.
As Wu Hui saw his expression, his face darkened, and a sense of disgust rose in his heart. He stepped forward slightly, blocking in front of Hai Qinglan, and obstructing people’s sight.
"Hey, Sister Qinglan, why did you bring a guard with you today? And he is such a youth. So it turns out that you're the same as me; you're also fond of eating tender grass." As the yellow robe saw Wu Hui's actions, a stern look flashed across his eyes, but he revealed a gloomy smile.
"Humph, Huang Ziwei, please behave yourself. After all, you are a Pill Master, and don’t call me Sister Qinglan." Seeing this person, Hai Qinglan revealed a bit ugly expression, with her eyes revealing deep disgust. She softly whispered in Wu Hui's ears, "This man is Wang Family's pill master, Huang Ziwei. It is forbidden to fight within the Treasure Pavilion. We try to avoid him."
"Wang Family’s pill master. No wonder he is so arrogant." Wu Hui understood that the Wang Family was the same as the Wu Family, both super families within the Xin Si City. They had not only Innate Experts, but also pill masters. And this guy was Wang Family’s pill master.
Hehe, Sister Qinglan, since we are both Pill Masters, we should exchange opinions more often. Why do you just turn me down? Huang Ziwei walked over with a face full of confidence, his gaze keeping sweeping across Hai Qinglan's body without restraint, and his tone became even more frivolous.
"Huang Ziwei, I don't have time to argue with you today. Where is Manager Liu?" Hai Qinglan did not care about Huang Ziwei, and turned to ask the shop assistant beside him.
"Haha…" At this moment, a crisp laughter came from the third floor. A woman in a light red dress appeared at the foot of the stairs. The woman looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, with fair skin and picturesque eyes. She exuded the unique temperament of a mature woman.
"This is the Treasure Pavilion's manager, Liu Qianqian." Hai Qinglan explained softly to Wu Hui.
The woman slowly walked down the stairs as she chuckled endlessly and arrived in front of Hai Qinglan, "So it was Elder Hai from Wu Family. Please forgive my inhospitality." When she saw Wu Hui, who was beside Hai Qinglan, she became slightly surprised, "I wonder who this handsome youth is."
"Wu Family, Wu Hui." Wu Hui bowed and replied.
"Oh, so it's the young master of the Wu Family. I have met your father Wu Haiya a few times as well." The smile on Liu Qianqian's face did not change, but a look of regret appeared on her face.
Even though she had never seen Wu Hui before, his "big name" was known by everyone in Xin Si City. He had reached the Nine-star of Yellow Grade at the age of eight, but had not stepped into the Profound Grade in seven years. Not long ago, he still no improvement in the Wu Family's disciple test. Moreover, there were rumors that a betrothed marriage that they had previously arranged had been broken off. The entire Wu Family had become the laughing stock of the people.
"Ha, so you're actually that trash from the Wu Family. Sister Qinglan, your judgement isn't very good." Just then, Huang Ziwei, who was at the side interrupted, looked at Wu Hui with ridicule, and revealed a disdainful smile.
Wu Hui's expression turned cold. Hearing the word “trash” once again, he was unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
"May I know who this is?" Wu Hui said as he walked in front of Huang Ziwei. He asked with cold eyes.
"Huang Ziwei, Wang Family's pill master." His face was filled with pride when he mentioned that he was a pill master.
"Oh, so it's Wang Family's dog. I was wondering why it was barking everywhere." Wu Hui scratched his ears, turned and said to Hai Qinglan.
"Haha, what little brother said is wrong. If he doesn't bark, wouldn't he become a mute dog?" Hearing Wu Hui call Huang Ziwei a dog, Hai Qinglan was stunned, thinking that this little brother Wu Hui was very brazen. Huang Ziwei's position in the Wang Family was extremely high, and this was equivalent to scolding him directly. But in her heart, she was very satisfied.
The corner of Wu Hui's mouth twitched, he shook his head and sighed, "A mute dog can't make people hate it so much."
"Ah, you're courting death!"
With a loud shout, the color of Huang Ziwei's face had already changed to the color of a pig's liver. His green bean eyes had become as large as a peanut. His expression became sinister, and he grinded his teeth. The Qi from his body uncontrollably burst out. He stretched out his big hand, formed a claw with one hand, and pounced towards Wu Hui. He seemed to want to directly scratch a hole in Wu Hui's head.
Three-star of Earth Grade.
In the instant that Huang Ziwei released his Qi, Wu Hui had already sensed his cultivation. But Wu Hui was still standing there with a calm expression, as if he had not noticed Huang Ziwei's attack.
The rules of the Treasure Pavilion were not just for show.
As expected, when Huang Ziwei approached Wu Hui, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Huang Ziwei, did you forget that it is forbidden to fight in Treasure Pavilion?" The smile on Liu Qianqian's face had already disappeared, and his aura was concealed.
"I'm so pissed off. Today I'm going to break the Treasure Pavilion's rules, and if I can still take this lying down, I'm not Huang Ziwei." Huang Ziwei was obviously on the verge of exploding, and he simply did not care about Liu Qianqian's persuasion at all.
"Humph!"
Liu Qianqian's face darkened, as she stretched out her slender jade-like hand. Before Huang Ziwei could react, a palm landed on his chest.
Swish, swish, swish. Huang Ziwei who was charging forward suddenly suffered a palm strike from Liu Qianqian, and didn't even have time to react as he was pushed back a few steps. He couldn't stop himself from sitting on the ground.
A trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Huang Ziwei forgot to wipe it off, and looked at Liu Qianqian in fear and muttered, "Heaven Grade, you're actually a Heaven Grade Expert."
There were very few Heaven Grade experts in the Xin Si City. Only the elders from some large families and patriarchs were able to reach this level. He didn't expect that this woman who was less than 30 years old was also a Heaven Grade master. How could he not be shocked?
"Huang Ziwei, the rules of the Treasure Pavilion are not to be broken. On the account that you are the pill master of Wang Family, that attack was my warning. If anyone dares to make a move on the Treasure Pavilion again this time, the qualifications to trade in Wang Family will be revoked." Liu Qianqian said coldly.
Although Huang Ziwei was resentful in his heart, he was still a little more clear-headed at this time. The power of the Treasure Pavilion was not only limited to the Xin Si City. It was said that it had some sort of relationship with the imperial family, and it was definitely not someone that the Wang Family could afford to offend. Huang Ziwei turned his head and looked at Wu Hui viciously. Without saying a word, he walked down the stairs.
Wu Hui took note of Huang Ziwei's expression, but Wu Hui did not care at all. If it was before, Wu Hui would not casually provoke others, but now that he possessed the body of five elements and obtained the Five Elements Arts. He had ignited the fire attribute and became a Pill Master. If he was still as sullen as before, he might as well die.
When Huang Ziwei left, Liu Qianqian's face had already become as beautiful as a flower. She stared at Wu Hui with a faint smile on her face and said, "Young Master Wu is indeed meticulous. I truly admired you to borrow a knife to kill a man."
Hearing the faint ridicule in Liu Qianqian's tone, Wu Hui flushed with embarrassment. His intentions were very clear, and Liu Qianqian wouldn't fail to notice them.
"It's because Huang Ziwei's mental strength is too poor. Manager Liu, don't blame Wu Hui." Hai Qinglan who was at the side spoke out to save Wu Hui.
"Hehe, I don't have any intentions of blaming Young Master Wu. Huang Ziwei relied on the might of the Wang Family to bully others and had a notorious reputation. And he also ruin many innocent girl’s good fame. If it wasn't because I was in Treasure Pavilion, I would have taught him a lesson a long time ago." Liu Qianqian waved her hand, and laughed, but when she looked at Wu Hui, her eyes were filled with curiosity.
...
She had come into contact with Hai Qinglan many times, and every time Hai Qinglan would come alone to the Treasure Pavilion to make a trade. This time, she brought Wu Hui over, and judging from their interactions, she had a special relationship with him.
...
Liu Qianqian brought Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan to a room on the third floor, where Hai Qinglan explained the purpose of her purchase of the medicinal herbs. Liu Qianqian took the list of herbs and frowned.
"Elder Hai, are you sure you want to buy the herbs on the list? This number is more than double what you used to need." Liu Qianqian pointed to the list, and asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, Manager Liu, since you guys are going to open your doors to do business, you will naturally earn more as you can sell more." Hai Qinglan chuckled, and said without any care.
An awkward expression appeared on Liu Qianqian's face as she replied, "What are you talking about, Elder Hai? Who doesn't know that the richest is the Pill Master? It's just that my Treasure Pavilion is a bit lacking in these herbs. If possible, Elder Hai, you might as well wait for ten days. After ten days, I will definitely gather some medicinal herbs for Elder Hai. Furthermore, in ten days, Treasure Pavilion will hold an auction. At that time, some precious things will appear."
An auction!
Hearing that there was an auction going on, Wu Hui showed great interest. He knew that a few good things often appeared in the auction held by Treasure Pavilion, and that a portion of the Profound Grade techniques and martial skills that the Wu Family collected were obtained from the auction. The Storage Ring owned by his father Wu Haiya was also gotten in the auction.
Wu Hui had wanted to own a Storage Ring for a long time, but a Storage Ring was exceptionally precious. Only a few people in the entire clan possessed one. It was a dream for him before but now he had become a pill master. He naturally had a Storage Ring of his own.
"Is there any Storage Ring in auction this time?" Wu Hui finally could not resist asking.
Hearing Wu Hui's somewhat impatient question, Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "This time, auction not only has a Storage Ring, but also a medium grade storage ring."
"A Medium Storage Ring." Not only Wu Hui but also Hai Qinglan was surprised. There had never been any Medium Storage Ring in the Xin Si City before. A low level Storage Ring was with only a cubic meter’s space, but a Medium Storage Ring was a full ten cubic meters’ space. It could be said that the appearance of Medium Storage Ring would definitely cause many large families in the Xin Si City to fight over them. At that time, it would depend on who had more money and power.
