C43 Such Solicitation
"Uncle, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for quite a while." At this moment, a gentle voice came from the entrance. A girl in blue with a sallow face and pockmarks walked in.
Wang Yunfei's aura, which was constantly soaring, suddenly stopped. Looking at the approaching girl, his face revealed a sinister smile: "Kid, are you together with Bai Wuya? How arrogant you are to fool the Wang Family." The aura from his body surged once more.
"What? Are you really so shameless to go back on your words?" The person who came was actually Hai Qinglan in disguise.
In fact, Wu Hui had concocted six disguise pills and gave her three. After the auction, Hai Qinglan guessed that Wu Hui would wait for the people from the Wang Family. Therefore, Hai Qinglan paid secret attention to the Wang’s crowd and found that Wang Yunfei had followed Liu Qianqian to the upstairs. Feeling a little uneasy, she changed her appearance and followed up.
Hearing Hai Qinglan's words, Wang Yunfei, who was indeed vicious and grumpy, could no longer hold it in. He stretched out his hand and grabbed towards Hai Qinglan.
A blue light flashed in Hai Qinglan's eyes as a hint of ridicule emerged from the corner of her mouth.
"Wang Yunfei, stop now!" With a cold shout, Liu Qianqian had already blocked in front of Wang Yunfei. On her beautiful face, a faint trace of anger could be seen. "Your clan ignored the rules of Treasure Pavilion several times. Do you really think that we are a pushover?"
"Manager Liu, is Treasure Pavilion really going to interfere in our affairs? If you can stay out of this, then I will present you with a huge gift later.” Seeing Liu Qianqian’s pushy attitude, Wang Yunfei felt somewhat fearful. He knew the huge powers behind the Treasure Pavilion.
Liu Qianqian frowned with a cold expression. She took a look at Wu Hui by her side, who showed no expressions on his face at the moment, and said, "Wang Yunfei, since I am the witness of the wager between him and your family, how can I not interfere? After you have fulfilled the agreement, I will no longer ask more about the grudges between you two."
Seeing the confrontation between Liu Qianqian and Wang Yunfei, Wu Hui wondered secretly in his heart - how powerful this Treasure Pavilion is to even terrify Patriarch Wang? He had to ask his father after this.
"Wang Yunfei, are you going to pay the promised indemnity of 5 million or not? Well if you don’t, then just be it. Maybe the reputation of your clan isn’t even worth 5 million.” Wu Hui sneered, speaking in an indifferent tone.
Wang Yunfei's face was so grim and gloomy. His eyes were filled with fierceness. Only at the moment when he turned to look at Liu Qianqian, he revealed a hint of fear.
"Hmph, I am not the type of person who cannot afford to lose. Here is 5 million in this Purple Deposit Card." Wang Yunfei said as he took out a purple card from a Storage Ring and handed it over to Liu Qianqian.
Wu Hui's eyes lit up. He knew the card - normally, only those who have funds more than a million were qualified to use this card.
"That's right, there is 5 million in this Purple Deposit Card. With the card, you can withdraw money from any bank in any city." After Liu Qianqian verified the Purple Deposit Card, her face looked a little better. She turned to Wu Hui and said: "Now I have finished witnessing the fulfillment of your agreement. If anything happens to you once you left Treasure Pavilion, we don’t take any responsibility.” After saying that, she handed the Purple Deposit Card over to Wu Hui.
Hearing Liu Qianqian's implied warning, Wu Hui smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "My disguise pills have already been used up, and I don't know when I will be able to collect the medicinal herbs for the refinement of this pill again. How can the Wang Family find trouble with me since they can’t even find me first?”
Wu Hui received the Purple Deposit Card from Liu Qianqian and expressed his gratitude. Just in the blink of an eye, he recalled the Red Meteorite Furnace that had been used before.
"Manager Liu, shouldn't the Red Meteorite Furnace that you promised the other day…" Wu Hui intentionally stopped in half and secretly observed Liu Qianqian's expression.
Liu Qianqian slapped her forehead and said somewhat embarrassedly: "How forgetful I am! I almost forget about this matter." With that, Liu Qianqian waved her hand and a dark-red furnace appeared in front of everyone. As the manager of Treasure Pavilion, Liu Qianqian naturally had her own Storage Ring.
"Hehe, Manager Liu, you indeed have your word." Wu Hui smiled slightly, and when he said the words "have your word", his gaze floated towards the gloomy Wang Yunfei at his side.
Since he had obtained what he wanted, Wu Hui was also not willing to stay any longer. He turned around and brought Hai Qinglan downstairs.
Wang Yunfei gazed sinisterly at Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan as they went downstairs. His facial expression was slightly vicious, but he still asked Liu Qianqian in a polite manner: "Manager Liu, who exactly are they?"
"Patriarch Wang, If you want to know who they are, you can investigate by yourself. Treasure Pavilion will no longer interfere with the grudges between you." Liu Qianqian was already annoyed by Wang Yunfei. At this moment, her tone was even more impolite as she coldly answered.
...
"You … alright!" Wang Yunfei's face immediately became ugly, as he forced the mere two words out of his mouth. He turned around and left without looking back.
...
"Haha …" Wu Hui felt a relief. The 5 million in his pocket really made his day. Although a pill master did not lack money, with this 5 million, Wu Hui would not have to painstakingly sell pills to amass wealth. And he would then have more time to cultivate. Moreover, he had spent the 3 million of his clan to purchase the pill formula, he had to pay it back.
As Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan were walking out of the Treasure Pavilion, a tall figure appeared in front of them. It was the Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Hui's father, Wu Haiya.
"Father…" When Wu Hui saw him, he was slightly startled, then revealed a smile. He did not expect that his father would still be here waiting for him. He reckoned that Hai Qinglan must have already told him about his own identity. Just as Wu Hui wanted to speak, he saw his father secretly give him a meaningful look. Wu Hui then remembered that his current appearance was no longer that handsome young master of the Wu Family, but instead, a black-faced man with rough skin. Furthermore, Wu Hui felt a faint gaze from behind looking at him. Presumably, it was Wang Yunfei, the Patriarch of the Wang Family.
Although Hai Qinglan had already told Wu Haiya about the change in Wu Hui’s appearance, when he actually saw him, he was still a little shocked and amused. He was surprised at how effective the disguise pill Wu Hui had concocted actually was - a handsome youth turned into in a black-faced man in his forties. Since this image of his son appeared to be even older than himself, Wu Haiya said in a slightly annoyed tone, “You must be a pill master. Come and serve my family.” His question was direct, but there was also a hint of ridicule in his eyes as he saw Wang Yunfei's figure hidden by the stairs on the second floor.
Wang Yunfei originally intended to follow Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan and find out their background - at least the address where they lived. He did not expect that Wu Haiya would stop them just as they got down to the first floor. After hiding himself, Wang Yunfei wanted to know what Wu Haiya was telling them. Wang Yunfei guessed that Wu Haiya definitely wanted to recruit them this time around. For a pill master, even if he could only concoct primary first-grade pills, it could be said that all the clans in Xin Si City wanted to recruit him. But the cost of recruiting a pill master was too high. Taking Huang Ziwei, the pill master of the Wang family as an example. If his father and Huang Ziwei’s teacher were not close friends, the Wang Family could not easily recruit Huang Ziwei as their pill master. And even as Huang Ziwei had committed a grave offense, Wang Yunfei could not easily punish him since he was the pill master. Take this time as another example - Huang Ziwei lost the 5 million, but even as the Patriarch, Wang Yunfei could not scold him too seriously. If Huang Ziwei left his family, their strength would definitely plummet.
It was the same with Jiang He, the pill master of the Lin Family. He served the Lin Family because Lin Tong had once saved his life. The most mysterious person was actually Hai Qinglan from the Wu Family. Wang Yunfei had not yet known at what cost did the Wu Family kept Hai Qinglan as their pill master.
Now two new pill masters appeared. Wang Yunfei had originally wanted to recruit them, but because he was on bad terms with them due to Huang Ziwei, he didn't dare to ask them anymore. Now he saw that Wu Haiya blocked their path, conversed with them with a face full of mirth and blurted out “Come and serve my family”. Wang Yunfei almost laughed out loud - how could anyone recruit a pill master like this? What Wang Yunfei believed was that one should first know where the pill masters lived, and then visit them several times. Never reveal your intention of recruiting them before you became familiar with them. Only bring it up when you became familiar with each other. Never be hasty about it. Generally speaking, the pill masters always thought highly of themselves and they deserved to do so. Hence, even if you could not recruit them at the moment, never offend them. You should always leave yourself a chance.
"Haha, Brother Wu, you did not leave as well. I wonder who you are waiting for?" Wang Yunfei appeared, and a smile emerged on his face. With a laugh, he walked down from the second floor.
“Oh, Brother Wang, you are also here. It seemed that you were not quite pleased today. But telling from your look now, all your worries seem to have faded away.” Upon seeing Wang Yunfei approaching, Wu Haiya revealed a smile with a hint of ridicule. He had already found out about what happened between Wu Hui and the Wang Family from Hai Qinglan and he had waited here just to protect Wu Hui. Now that Wu Hui had safely come out, he knew that they had already fulfilled their agreement. However, Wu Haiya was still somewhat emotional in his heart. Wu Hui was too bold, he actually tricked Wang Family a lot. No wonder when the Medium Storage Ring was being auctioned, Wang Family paid five million straight away, and never bid again.
“Brother Wu, my worries did disappear. I just heard that you were trying to recruit these two pill masters. I wonder how sincere you are, but it is not simple to even recruit one pill master.” Wang Yunfei's expression was a bit mocking. He had heard Wu Haiya's words just now, and the way he spoke was as if he was speaking to his son, which was something normal people couldn't endure, not to even mention the high and mighty pill masters.
"Isn't it simple?" Wu Haiya smiled slightly, turned to Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan and said: "You two, come and serve my family. What do you think?"
"Hmm, alright then. Since we don't have anywhere to stay in Xin Si City, let's head to your place." Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan both nodded their heads, their faces filled with surprise and joy.
