Ye Shu walked out and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the old man at the corner of the counter.

The old man was dressed in rags with a wine pot hanging from his waist. His hair and beard were all white, and his eyes were tightly shut, as if he was sleeping soundly.

She retracted her gaze and found it strange. From the moment she entered the Hundred Herbs Hall, she had felt a probing gaze following her. However, when she looked carefully, it quickly vanished.

Could it be that there was another expert in this tiny Hundred Herb Hall?

At this moment, a sharp and unkind voice sounded in the Hundred Herbs Hall, interrupting her thoughts. The voice was full of mockery. “I was wondering who it was. So it’s the Ye family’s legitimate daughter, Miss Ye. No, it should be Miss Ye now, without the legitimacy.”

She covered her mouth and chuckled. “Sorry, I forgot that you’ve been chased out by the Ye family.”

“Why are you here at the Hundred Herbs Hall when you are so poor? You should know that the medicinal herbs here are all valuable items. Can you afford to pay if you damage them?”

She lowered her eyes and swept her cold gaze over. The woman in front of her was wearing a light yellow dress and had a sneer on her beautiful face. She was playing with the long whip in her hand and the domineering look on her face was extremely unpleasant.

The corners of Ye Shu’s lips curled up under the veil. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with mockery.

She didn’t expect to meet someone she knew here.

The eldest daughter of the Tang Family, Tang Yun, was famous for being unruly and willful in the capital.

In the past, when the Host was weak, she was often bullied and humiliated by Tang Yun, who snatched away all the rare things that she wanted. However, Tang Yun was only at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage now, so she wasn’t a threat to her.

As expected, Tang Yun’s eyes lit up when she saw the jade pendant in Ye Shu’s hand, and her face was twisted in anger and envy.

“This jade pendant looks good. I want it.”

Her eyes were filled with desire as she swung the long whip to grab it. As fast as lightning, the long whip was seized tightly by a hand.

“Ah!”

Tang Yun felt a strong force of magical power attacking her, and her hand was hit hard. She let go of her hand in pain.

Ye Shu threw the whip away with her spiritual power, which made Tang Yun stumble a few steps back.

“Tang Yun, there are some things that you can’t afford.”

She still hadn’t recovered from the shock, and her embarrassment turned into rage. She rolled up the whip from the ground and spat fire from her eyes. “Do you think you’re qualified to teach me a lesson?” Tang Yun suddenly swung the whip at her.

Ye Shu stood where she was without fear. To her, the force was like an ant trying to shake a tree. Seeing that she didn’t move, Tang Yun thought that she must be scared. She sneered in her heart.

Just as the whip was about to touch Ye Shu’s skin, she suddenly attacked!

Boom!

A strong spiritual power swept over and wrapped around the long whip, freezing it in mid-air in an instant. Then, it shot towards Tang Yun with a huge force. She was hit by a strong impact and was tossed backwards like a broken kite!

Tang Yun vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground, and stood up with a pale face. She was shocked by Ye Shu’s sudden improvement in strength, and she was furious. “Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me!”

At this moment, the shopkeeper walked out and scolded in a deep voice, “What’s the commotion?”

Tang Yun’s eyes lit up at once. He stood up and walked to them with a respectful smile. “Manager Li, it’s me. I’m the eldest daughter of the Tang family in the capital. Get this piece of trash out of here! She’s causing trouble here, and she even said that the Hundred Herbs Hall is a lowly place!”

Ye Shu squinted at Manager Li and rubbed her chin. What kind of place was the Hundred Herbs Hall? Even the rich and powerful in the capital treated it with respect.

Tang Yun smiled politely, but she was very proud in his heart. The owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall had monopolized all the black market. If she offended the owner of the Hundred Herbs Hall, she would have a hard time in the capital.

Manager Li looked at her expressionlessly before lowering his head slightly.

“Miss Ye, the boss said that you can give me any instructions from now on.”

Tang Yun was shocked upon seeing Manager Li’s respectful attitude towards Ye Shu. “Manager, are you kidding me? Do you know who she is? She’s just a loser from the Ye family. She was kicked out by the Ye family yesterday!”

Ye Shu was unmoved as she played with the jade pendant in her hand. Her smile was hidden in her eyes.

Manager Li’s face turned cold. He looked at Tang Yun and said expressionlessly, “Please mind your words, Miss. She’s a VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall..”
