VIP?

She looked at Ye Shu in disbelief; her face was pale. How could this be? She was a good-for-nothing that everyone despised. How could she be a VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall?

“It just happens that I have something to tell you.” Ye Shu put the jade back and looked at Tang Yun.

“I don’t really like this Miss Tang. From now on, no one from the Tang family can enter the black market. Can you do that?”

Tang Yun felt incredulous. She sneered, “Ye Shu, you’re daydreaming! Whether it’s the black market or the Hundred Herbs Hall, our Tang family would have a stake. How could we let you…”

“Yes,” Manager Li agreed without hesitation.” Miss Ye, I will report this to the owner. From now on, be it the black market or the Hundred Herbs Hall, there will be no Tang family members.”

Surprise flashed across Ye Shu’s eyes. She had only wanted to sound him out to see how much his boss valued her. She didn’t expect Manager Li to really agree.

Tang Yun’s smile froze on her face. She looked at Manager Li in shock. “Manager, the Tang Family is one of the four great families of the Southern Empire! Are you really going to remove the Tang Family from the black market?”

Manager Li was expressionless and didn’t even look at her. “See the guest out.”

People surrounded her, and Tang Yun’s face turned pale.

It was over for the Tang family. Without the black market, the Tang family would be finished.

Just as she was about to plead for mercy, she heard a chuckle beside her ear. She turned around and saw Ye Shu’s lips curling up slightly. His almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with starlight and she looked extremely beautiful. However, to her, she looked even colder.

“Please tell her that I, Ye Shu, will always…”

Ye Shu raised her head. Her black hair hung down to her waist. A breeze blew past her light-colored veil, covering half of Ye Shu’s face where there were terrifying scars. However, she was smiling. “…get back at them one by one.”

Tang Yun was scared out of her wits and fled in panic.

Looking at her fleeing figure, Ye Shu burst out laughing. “What a coward.”

After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Ye Shu walked through the streets. For some unknown reason, she walked into a dead end. Ye Shu looked a little puzzled. Looking around, the air was dark and humid. Occasionally, there would be astral winds breaking through the air, sounding like the screams of ghosts.

“Why did I end up here… this doesn’t seem like the way home.”

“Lady.”

A hoarse voice broke the silence.

Alarmed, she gripped the long sword at her waist and looked around. She shouted coldly, “Who is it?”

In the shadows, an old man slowly walked out. He was dressed in a black broad robe, and the hood of his robe cast a shadow over his face. Only his turbid eyes were revealed as he stared straight at her, as sharp as an eagle.

“Haha…” He laughed softly. His hoarse voice was a little strange. He stared at Ye Shu intently and said,” You have a strong medicinal scent on you. ”

Ye Shu was slightly shocked and pretended not to understand. She smiled and said, “The smell of the medicine, are you referring to the herbs I bought at the Herbal Hall just now? Old man, you can see them once you leave this alley.”

The old man’s lips curled up mysteriously. “Young lady, there’s no need to pretend. You know alchemy, right?”

Hearing this, Ye Shu tensed up and looked at him coldly. “What do you want?”

“Give me all your prescriptions.” His turbid eyes flashed with greed.

Ye Shu looked at him and suddenly chuckled. “Why would an alchemist give his prescription to others so easily? Could it be that you don’t understand this as well?”

The old man’s expression was unclear as he smiled strangely. “You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”

His five fingers turned into claws and a cold aura seeped out. He flew in front of Ye Shu. Ye Shu curled her lips and moved slightly to the side. With a single misstep, she appeared behind him. Faint qi pervaded the air and attacked the old man. The old man’s body shook and Ye Shu was pushed away.

She took a few steps back, surprised. This person’s strength couldn’t be underestimated.

Ye Shu took out her sword. A spiritual sword aura was mustered as she pointed it at the old man. He raised his demonic palm, and a gust of cold wind arose. Ye Shu narrowed her eyes. Qi poured into the sword continuously. In an instant, a cold light shot out in all directions. The old man turned around and wanted to snatch the sword away. Ye Shu turned her finger and pointed it at the old man’s throat.

Ye Shu chuckled as her eyes sparkled. “Old man, do you still want to compete?”

The old man smiled and disappeared.

He then whispered into Ye Shu’s ear, “We will meet again.”

Ye Shu narrowed her eyes and her lips suddenly formed a lotus-like smile. In a few steps, she flew away from this place..
