14 So shameless

"You… You…" Shopkeeper Yu is speechless. Shameless! So shameless!

The herbs in the Medicine Pavilion were top quality. There were even some rare and expensive herbs! Some herbs which could not be obtained by just anyone!

Even royalty could not get their herbs sometimes and she wanted it for free?!

Shopkeeper Yu's face was black, "This… this…" He did not have the authority to decide on her request.

'The owner was the only one who could make a major decision like this. Incidentally, he was currently here!' 

Thinking about the owner who was on the third floor of the Medical Pavilion, he almost fainted.

His forehead started sweating heavily again. This day was really tiring him out.

Though it was important to keep the image of the Pavilion, and he was confident that there should be no problem agreeing, it was still a big deal to just accept this huge demand like that!

Shopkeeper Yu looked at his personal assistant who was grinning like a fool. Showing his confidence and telling him that there was nothing to worry about. The fool was probably already counting his shares.

He was annoyed by his personal assistant's carefreeness, but this still helped him calm down. "I can agree with the five hundred gold coins, but not the free herbs! This is just an agreement that involves an untrustworthy beggar!" He exclaimed with condemnation.

'So audacious! Who did she think she was to have such a demand?' Shopkeeper Yu fumed to himself.

With this, even the crowd could not help but complain, "So greedy! This young woman looks pretty and must be from a respectable family, but her request is unreasonable!" Someone commented.

"Do you think she planned this with the beggar?" Another said.

Hearing these Gao Chu's face turn black. She was angry!

Have they forgotten that if they had accidentally eaten one of those poisonous walnuts, they would probably be dead right now, without even knowing why?

This also made the old mute beggar felt bad. He did not expect that it would turn out this way. He also did not know why the demand seemed too high. This young miss did not seem to be a greedy person.

Just knowing that everyone was going to be safe, he was already satisfied. There was no need for too much compensation.

The beggar approached Gao Lan Mei and tried to tell her that it was enough, but she just looked at him and did not speak.

"Then we do not have anything to talk about. Gao Chu! Let's go!" Gao Lan Mei did not care.

She needed herbs, yes. If she could obtain them for free, why not. However, that did not mean that she would beg for it. Who cared if someone would be poisoned?

Burning some more houses was also another good alternative option. She could make her enemies cry by doing so and the spoils were also good.

In Mortal Domain, herbs were mostly part of treasure houses so there was a really good chance that Feng Ji could get some.

Shopkeeper Yu panicked, "Wait!" If this was not solved today and these people were to leave and spread false news about the Medical Pavilion, it would prove that he was incompetent. He would surely get fired!

"Do not leave yet! You wait there!" Shopkeeper Yu commanded Gao Lan Mei to stay.

He finally decided to see the owner instead. The owner could not say that he was incompetent as he was only deciding what's best for the Medical Pavilion's reputation.

Shopkeeper Yu would let the owner decide. 'Who knows? Hmph! He may even help me deal with this shameless woman and beggar!'

Thinking this, shopkeeper Yu finally mustered up his resolve and composed himself to plan on how to approach the owner regarding this issue.

Gao Lan Mei did not mind waiting. She was aware that the shopkeeper could not decide these things.

The higher the people involved the better. They would surely lose face if they backed out!
