The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 401 - 398: The Big Shop Bullies the Customer
Xin Lin stood to the side, watching Master Chen’s smug face, then glanced at Master Ji, who was trembling with anger, feeling a sense of injustice in his heart.
"Vice Hall Master Wang, you must make a fair decision about this matter. Taoyao Pavilion has always placed orders here, and this time you arbitrarily sold the herbs to others. Is this not an example of the shop bullying the customer, looking down upon our Taoyao Pavilion?"
Master Ji also knew that it was useless to argue with someone as petty as Master Zhao and could only turn to Vice Hall Master Wang.
Vice Hall Master Wang held the second highest position in the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall, just below Jiang Qing.
On normal days when Jiang Qing was not present, Vice Hall Master Wang was responsible for transactions involving significant sums of money.
"Master Ji, your words are rather unpleasant. The sale of herbs is a transaction where money changes hands. Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall’s dealings have always been fair. If you feel that our alchemy trades are unfair, then you might as well not come to Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall in the future."
Vice Hall Master Wang had certainly received his share of benefits from Master Chen’s hands.
He chuckled noncommittally, responding neither too softly nor too harshly.
Master Ji turned pale.
Everyone knew that the herb quality at Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall was complete and of superior material.
If things were to truly fall out with Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall because of today’s events, Taoyao Pavilion’s future procurement of spiritual materials would definitely be affected, perhaps even unable to gain a foothold in the Spirit Food World.
Although Master Ji was furious to the extreme, he was also aware of the seriousness and urgency of the situation.
"So, what will it be, Brother Ji, do you want these herbs or not?"
Master Chen appeared increasingly arrogant.
Master Ji heaved a sigh, his tall figure stooping slightly, seemingly having aged several years in an instant. He shut his eyes and his lips quivered, about to reluctantly agree.
"Young man, I wish to see your Hall Master."
Just as Master Ji was humbly compromising and gritting his teeth in agreement, he heard Xin Lin, standing aside, crisply speak up.
"Kid, don’t cause trouble."
Master Ji was startled and frightened by Xin Lin’s words.
This young fella, looking so astute, how could he be so thoughtless?
The Hall Master of Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall was not someone who could be seen so casually. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He did not want to offend Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall and lose his standing in the Spirit Food World.
"Oh, Brother Ji, it looks like Taoyao Pavilion is really struggling, now even resorting to employing children as workers."
"Kid, don’t meddle in this. Our Hall Master is not someone whom a lowly general worker like you can simply demand to see."
Master Chen and Vice Hall Master Wang jeered, contributing their mockery in turn.
Master Chen had long heard that Taoyao Pavilion was lacking general workers, and those high-quality workers at De Yue Building were surely targeted at Taoyao Pavilion.
Old Man Ji was really desperate, to actually take in such a baby-faced youngster as a general worker. Did he even know how to wash dishes?
Yet Xin Lin seemed to be utterly deaf to their mockery.
"Young man, just tell your Hall Master that it is Xin Lin looking for him; I have business with him."
A smile adorned Xin Lin’s youthful face, his adorable appearance making it difficult for others to refuse.
Upon hearing this, and then looking at Xin Lin, the clerk immediately remembered the hall master’s earlier instructions and, not caring for Vice Hall Master Ma’s murderous gaze, hurried into the inner hall.
"Kid, let’s drop it. Spend a bit more money and consider it a lesson learned. I was planning to teach you about procurement today, but it’s a pity."
Master Ji treated Xin Lin’s words as childish naivety, affectionately patting his head.
Who knew that soon thereafter, a series of footsteps could be heard from the inner hall.
"Xin, are you looking for me?"
The handsome-faced Jiang Qing, upon seeing Xin Lin, first paused, and then glanced at Master Ji standing next to Xin Lin.
