Suddenly the hall became very noisy, people can hardly see the elders of the Medicine Palace unless they were from some noble, and it is, even rare to get a glimpse of the director. People started chatting with each other. Everyone thought that they had come to meet Bao Sheng.
The director of the Medicine Palace, Yi Lang followed by the second elder, Su Chang, and the third elder Wang Un walked out from the back of the lobby and entered the Hall of the Medicine Palace. She had a dignified aura around her.
She held the highest authority in the medicine Palace after the Hallmaster, Du Gou. She single-handedly handled all the issues and business of the medicine palace.
Seeing the director coming their way, the Fifth elder Kao and Bao Sheng sprinted excitedly to greet the director. Especially Bao Sheng had a grand attitude, since he was an attention seeker, he glanced at everyone's reaction and felt good.
After all, it's not every day when you get to see the director and elders of the Medicine Palace.
"Greetings director Yi, I'm so glad you came to see me." Both Elder Kao and Bao Sheng greeted them with a smile.
The director completely ignored them and walked past them. They ignored them like thin air and greeted Kai Chen with a bright and gentle smile. "Hello, you are Kai Chen, right? We have been waiting for you."
"Yes I'm Kai Chen, my father visited the Hall four days ago and gave you the recipe of the White sun pill. But as you already know the recipe was incomplete. Today I have come to hand out the full recipe." Kai Chen said.
Ignoring his Bao Sheng's greeting and greeting some unknown boy like that, Bao Sheng felt insulted. Getting such treatment first time in his life angered Bao Sheng. He lost his temper and screamed at the director.
"Director Yi, how dare you ignore me like that. Don't you recognize me? I'm the heir of the Braveheart clan!" He screamed in anger.
Everyone present in the Hall including elder Kao's mouth fell hung with shock, he deeply regretted his decision for favoring Bao Sheng.
Bao Sheng was a fool and never think with his head, he didn't think about the outcome of his action. If not for his clan's influence, he was nothing but trash.
The director turned, the gentle smile she had a minute ago turned into a fierce expression. She released her deadly aura and said harshly, "Young master of the Braveheart clan didn't your father teach you to mess with and who to not? It looks like you still didn't learn how high the sky is. I don't give a damn who you are. In my eyes, you are just an idiot, a rich kid with no brain. Who only knows how to act haughty with his family's influence."
The aura sent chills to his spine. It was too unbearable. He couldn't do anything but grit his teeth hard. He knew the Medicine Palace held much higher authority in the Azure kingdom than his clan.
The fifth elder understood that the director came to meet this mysterious kid who he failed to recognize. Since he had already offended the boy, he couldn't back off so he decided to take the side of the Bao Sheng. He could also score some points in this situation, if he saves Bao Sheng then it will be a huge favor to the Braveheart clan. If he is fortunate enough, he could ripe some great fortune.
"Director Yi please don't get angry with Young master Bao Sheng. He only wanted to greet you and you not only ignored him but me as well. Not only that young master Bao here is a precious customer of our medicine Palace who also possess the Golden dragon jade medallion. It would be not good for Hall's image." The third elder Stated some good arguments. The fifth elder never liked the director, she is much younger than him, and much more successful than him.
The director and the elders turned their heads and looked at the Golden Dragon Jade medallion next to Kai Chen, Kai Chen grinned he was enjoying the show. They faced front and sighed in unison.
"Elder Kao that medallion belongs to the customer over there." The director said.
For elder Kao, this came as a shock.
He had seen the medallion at the counter, but he thought the medallion belonged to Bao Sheng. The situation turned against him. But since alchemy masters are very rare in the Azure kingdom, he wouldn't get harsh punishment.
"This mess was all because of you. Why can't you even take care of such a small matter? The Hall conducts our business according to one rule, we sell to whoever comes first! Why are you not selling him the herbs."
"Hehe, please Forgive me, director, I didn't know this person here is your esteemed guest otherwise I would have treated him nicely. Forgive me young master of...? Which family did you belong to again?"
"Leave it. You are not worthy enough to know my name. Director Yi, I want to buy the sixth-rank Hostas herb." Kai Chen said some sharp words to Kao Meng as payback for earlier.
With Kai Chen's clear statement Kao Meng understood he had already offended him and it was too late to redeem the past. If he is going to become an obstacle then it is better to get rid of him.
"But does this brat have money to buy herbs!? Who is he!? Why are you treating him like that!?" Bao Sheng said loudly.
"Young master Bao Stop fussing in my hall. Don't you see how busy we are? You can leave if you want." The director gave cold shoulder to Bao Sheng.
"What!?..."
"Young master please return to your clan before things get out of hand. It's all that poor-looking brat's fault, you can deal with him later." Elder Kao put all the blame on Kai Chen. Bao Sheng's anger shifted toward Kai Chen. He quietly left the medicine palace.
Elder Kao glanced at both the director and Kai Chen, thinking: Did you take the wrong medicine this morning? Why are taking the side of a poor kid from some unknown origin? Aren't you afraid of the Braveheart clan's wrath?
Not to mention, was it necessary to go to these lengths for a mere ant, and a worthless good-for-nothing one at that?
The director completely ignored elder Kao's look and smiled at Kai Chen, "Kai Chen, you are the first who wished to purchase the Hostas herb, and thus naturally its buyer according to our rules."
"Kai Chen let's go inside the VIP room and talk about the recipe in private, I also wanted to know more about miss Chain Xudan's condition." They all entered the VIP room.
The director paused, and then turned towards the other customers and said, "Gentlemen, my apologies. The Medicine Palace is able to have a foothold in the Azure Kingdom since our establishment purely because of our golden sign based on credibility and rules. I am deeply sorry that you have seen this unsightly behavior today I will personally punish the person who caused this. You can also send complaints if people of our broke this rule."
It came as a clap of thunder to Kao Meng, he knew the director was directing it toward him. He started to sweat heavily. He fell to his knees and started begging for mercy. But the director looked at him like trash. She wanted to get rid of him for a long time but didn't get the appropriate situation to do that but what could be a better situation than this?
"Di-director please forgive me. I will not do it again." Kao Meng grabbed the director's dress.
Boom!
"How dare you try to touch me." The director kicked him and sent him flying. I will deal with you later.
