The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 643: Three Dominating Slaps

Ye Lianyi said Liu Zixuan was mysterious, but Liu Zixuan felt that Ye Lianyi was far more mysterious than him.

Being top figures alongside the Fifth and Sixth Elders of the Medical Immortal Sect, yet having to hide her real appearance from them—she must have some unspeakable secret.

Slightly shrugging his shoulders, he walked back to the medicine warehouse.

Xiangyang leaned to one side, observing the herbs, while Bai Jingjing crossed her arms, looking at Liu Zixuan with an unusual gaze, as if questioning.

The Fifth Elder looked awkwardly at the Sixth Elder, who had been slapping herself. He wanted to step in but feared angering the Great Elder, Ye Lianyi.

Seeing Ye Lianyi return, he quickly said, "Miss Lianyi, you see, the Sixth Elder acted unintentionally, please let her go."

"A country has its laws, and a sect has its rules. It’s precisely because of these stubborn people who don’t know how to adapt that our Medical Immortal Sect’s funding chain is broken. We barely got Mr. Liu to agree to cooperate, and yet there they are, badmouthing our esteemed guest. Shouldn’t she be punished for that?"

Ye Lianyi turned her gaze to the Sixth Elder: "Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

"I refuse to accept this!" The Sixth Elder’s face was flushed and already slightly swollen.

"What is it that you don’t accept?" Ye Lianyi asked coldly.

"I admit I showed disrespect to our guest, and I accept that I don’t understand the herbal business, but I’ve managed everything from acquisition to sales. How could there be a problem with the herbs’ spiritual power dissipating? I believe Mr. Liu is falsely accusing me!" the Sixth Elder said angrily.

Ye Lianyi walked over slowly, raising her fair, tender hand, and slapped the Sixth Elder directly.

Smack!

This slap was much harder than any the Sixth Elder had given herself, causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth: "Convinced now?"

"I..." The Sixth Elder hesitated.

Smack! Another slap followed.

"I am convinced!" the Sixth Elder quickly said.

"Get out!" Ye Lianyi scolded.

The Sixth Elder hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out.

Liu Zixuan wryly asked the Fifth Elder in a low voice, "Is Ye Lianyi always this domineering?"

"Shh..." The Fifth Elder gestured for silence, "In the Medical Immortal Sect, when the Sect Leader is absent, Miss Lianyi is the boss. We must obey her commands, right or wrong, or we risk being kicked out!"

Scratching his head, the Fifth Elder continued, "But Mr. Liu, I’m a bit puzzled. Have these herbs truly lost their potency?"

Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly, "Why don’t you ask your Great Elder? He can’t just speak arbitrarily."

The Fifth Elder sighed helplessly; if he dared to ask, he wouldn’t have needed to ask Liu Zixuan. Shaking his head in confusion, he decided to drop the matter.

Ye Lianyi glanced at Liu Zixuan and Xiangyang, then said to the Fifth Elder, "What Mr. Liu said about the herbs’ potency dissipating is true. This involves a major issue within our Medical Immortal Sect which cannot be explained to you presently. On this basis, let’s further discuss cooperation."

"Understood, what are your further instructions?" the Fifth Elder asked.

"After the discussion, arrange a dinner for Mr. Liu and the others and plan for our honored guests to rest here tonight."

"What!" the Fifth Elder exclaimed, surprised, as keeping outsiders overnight at the Medical Immortal Sect was unprecedented.

"Did I not make myself clear?" Ye Lianyi’s face immediately turned frosty.

The Fifth Elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Understood, I’ll arrange it soon!"

"Gentlemen, excuse me!" Ye Lianyi slightly nodded to Liu Zixuan and the others before heading out.

The Fifth Elder watched Ye Lianyi’s petite figure leave, pondering, "They’re having private chats, and staying over tonight. Could it be that the Great Elder and Mr. Liu are already acquainted?"

Thinking of this, his mouth twitched slightly; it seemed he had better treat Liu Zixuan respectfully, lest offending him cost his position in the Medical Immortal Sect.

Turning around, he approached Liu Zixuan and the others, "Mr. Liu, now that you have seen the herbs, shall we go back to the front and talk?"

"Sure," Liu Zixuan nodded.

"This way, please!" The Fifth Elder led the way outward.

Bai Jingjing quietly asked, "Weren’t you helping me choose herbs?"

"What’s the rush? There’s something here better than herbs," Liu Zixuan replied with a meaningful smile.

Bai Jingjing paused, holding Liu Zixuan’s arm on the surface, but pinching his arm slightly, she asked with a faint smile, "Tell me, do you know that Ye Lianyi?"

"I don’t know her." Liu Zixuan replied innocently.

"If you don’t know her, why did she ask you out alone? And why is she letting you have dinner and stay here overnight?" Bai Jingjing scolded angrily, "Liu Zixuan, that Ye Lianyi is only eighteen or nineteen, you’re not thinking of being an old cow eating young grass, are you!"

Several black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan’s forehead, "Eating your sister’s young grass! Ye Lianyi might be older than you." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He helplessly spread his hands, "Firstly, I really have nothing to do with her; secondly, compared to the two of you, I find it more interesting to be with you, heh heh heh. Lastly, the reason for staying overnight, you’ll have to ask Ye Lianyi because I don’t know."

"Ouch!" Just after explaining, a sharp pain shot through Liu Zixuan’s arm as Bai Jingjing pinched him hard and walked ahead.

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead in exasperation, "Damn, this little wench’s got quite the grip!"

"Hitting is loving, after all. Mr. Liu, I think Miss Bai is jealous; you should pacify her," Xiangyang laughed.

Liu Zixuan waved his hand, "I won’t indulge that bad habit."

"By the way, I didn’t quite understand what you said about the herbs. How should we negotiate later?" Xiangyang asked.

Liu Zixuan smiled, "Didn’t the Fifth Elder give an earlier quote? Then lower it to two-thirds of that; that’s the true value of these herbs. As for whether you can squeeze it lower, that’s up to your skill."

As a businessman, Xiangyang understood Liu Zixuan’s implication clearly.

Everyone walked to the reception hall and sat down. This time, there were not only tea but also a variety of desserts and fruits. Even the people around treated them with much more respect.

It seemed Ye Lianyi had already given her instructions.

The Fifth Elder handed Liu Zixuan a lit cigarette and earnestly said, "Some things have happened, and I can’t stick to the previous quote. Let me be straightforward; how about two-thirds of the previous quote?"

Xiangyang glanced at Liu Zixuan, realizing Liu Zixuan had predicted this accurately. He then pretended to ponder, saying, "It’s still a bit high. After all, it’s my first time doing this kind of business, and whether it profits or loses, I’ll bear it alone. Perhaps we start at half of the previous quote for the first deal if you’re interested in continued cooperation?"

Xiangyang was certainly setting up the Medical Immortal Sect for a hard bargain...
