Chapter 1844: Scare Tactic
The shopkeeper looked at the pile of storage rings on the ground.
Hall Master Chen followed his gaze and soon heard a voice, cold yet sweet. “Sorry, but I’ve already purchased these two properties.”
Shopkeeper He immediately chimed in with a smile, “Yes, Hall Master Chen. It’s indeed unfortunate. Before you arrived, my fellow customer had already secured these two properties and paid in full with crystal stones.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to sell them to you, but there’s a rule about first come, first served. I really can’t do much about it. Perhaps you could look at some other properties?”
Shopkeeper He didn’t want to offend Hall Master Chen, but he also wasn’t willing to forgo the earnings he could make from Xi Yue.
Hall Master Chen’s expression darkened. Since he became the hall master of the outer sect of the Heavenly Medicine Valley, he had never encountered anyone so boldly trying to snatch something from him, especially not a mere youngster.
He turned to Xi Yue and raised his chin. “Transfer these two properties to my nephew, and I’ll offer you an additional 20% on top of your original price. How does that sound?”
Xi Yue smiled coldly, “Sorry, I don’t lack crystals, and I have no interest in transferring them.”
Hall Master Chen was momentarily speechless, his face flushing a deep, angry red from the embarrassment.
Xi Yue ignored him and went straight to Shopkeeper He to finalize the transfer of ownership and soul imprinting.
From now on, these two properties were officially in her name. No one could take them from her, and she had the right to buy or sell them as she pleased.
Hall Master Chen’s chest heaved with anger as his gaze fixed on Anling Yao, “Are you a student of the Heavenly Medical Valley?”
“Yes, Master’s Junior Chen. I’m Anling Yao, a student from the outer sect of Heavenly Medical Valley.”
Hall Master Chen shifted his gaze thoughtfully and smiled, “It’s impressive that someone so young has become a disciple of the outer sect. The inner sect’s assessment is coming up this year—would you be interested in giving it a try?”
Anling Yao hesitated for a moment before replying, “Master’s Junior. The steward master has reserved a place for me. Although my chances of success are slim, I will definitely participate in the assessment.”
Hall Master Chen suddenly took a step closer and said in a deep voice, “Do you think you will definitely be able to participate if you reserve a spot?”
Anling Yao’s expression changed, “What does Master’s Junior mean?”
Hall Master Chen sneered and said, “What exactly do I mean by that? As of now, I oversee all matters of the outer sect of the Heavenly Medicine Valley, and I have considerable authority in arranging who participates in the inner sect evaluations. I trust you understand what I’m implying!”
As he said that, Hall Master Chen glanced at Xi Yue.
Anling Yao’s expression darkened. After a moment of tense hesitation, he took a step back and replied coldly, “Mr. Chen, you seem to be mistaken. These two properties were purchased by Xi Yue, and I have no authority to influence Xi Yue’s decision. I hope you understand.”
“Furthermore, the Heavenly Medicine Valley values fairness and integrity. As an Outer Sect Hall Master, you should avoid any misconduct. Whether or not I make it into the inner sect is not something you need to worry about.”
Hall Master Chen was taken aback by how resolutely Anling Yao stood his ground.
Lately, many people had begged him endlessly for a chance to participate in the inner sect evaluation, yet this kid was pushing away the opportunity right in front of him.
Hall Master Chen’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Anling Yao, then at Xi Yue, and sneered, “Very well, Anling Yao. I’ll remember you.'”
“A mere 4th-grade Medical Master wants to open a clinic in Skyrise City. Without the support of Heavenly Medical Valley, I wonder if your clinic can continue to open!”
