That person propped himself up on the ground, his pale face instantly widening. “VIP?”

As soon as he said that, they looked at each other in dismay. As they looked at the woman in red who was sitting safely at the head of the table, they were so shocked that they nearly lost their voices! Like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, the noisy crowd instantly exploded!

“What? Ye Shu is really a VIP?!”

“How… how is this possible!”

Everyone looked at Ye Shu, but she was calm and composed. Her eyes were serene as she played with the wine glass in her hand. When she lowered her eyes, her elegance and dominance were fully displayed. She really did have a bit of the aura of a superior.

But how was that possible?

Ye Shu was clearly just a useless person who did not know anything. It had only been a few months since they last saw each other, yet she had suddenly become a VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall?

The people on the stage all looked to the side. After all, they were all prodigies of the Alchemy Guild. They wanted to see what the VIPs of the Hundred Herbs Hall looked like. Meanwhile, Ye Shuang’s expression changed slightly. She gripped the medicine bowl in her hand tightly, her knuckles turning white.

“Ye Shu was a VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall? Impossible! She was clearly a loser who was inferior to him in every aspect. How could she be a VIP!”

When Yuan Chen heard this shocking news, he immediately stood up. The coldness in his eyes almost shattered. Thinking about how he broke off the engagement with her a few days ago, his expression changed… Suddenly, he laughed.

It must be that Ye Shu was unwilling to break off the engagement with him and wanted to attract his attention! A good-for-nothing who had no morals and ability, instead thinking of these devious ways everyday to try and attract his attention. It was simply laughable!

“Shopkeeper, are you mistaken? Shu-er is my younger sister. I know her personality too. She has never come into contact with alchemy, and is even less proficient in cultivation. How could she be an esteemed guest of yours?” At this moment, Ye Shuang asked with a smile, revealing the most honest thoughts in everyone’s hearts.

However, she said it tactfully. After all, it was not as simple with Ye Shu being a piece of trash who cannot cultivate.

It was an existence that the entire city despised.

Manager Li looked at her expressionlessly. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face. “Did you mean to say my eyesight is poor?”

When Ye Shuang met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head in panic and said softly, “I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to say how Shu-er usually is. I understand her better. She doesn’t know how to refine medicine…”

After emphasizing that she didn’t know how to refine medicine twice, everyone’s gaze became strange. When they looked at Ye Shu, their gaze was complicated. How could a person who didn’t know how to refine medicine become the VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall?

“In my opinion, it’s very likely that Ye Shu, that vixen, seduced Manager Li and then made use of her connections to get the manager to give her the title of VIP!” A noble lady discussed in a low voice.” Otherwise, how could that trash Ye Shu be a VIP?”

When everyone heard her words, they could not help but think about that aspect. Then, they thought about how the shopkeeper had no children for the past 70 years… The way they looked at Ye Shu changed from doubtful and complicated to disdain. Their eyes were filled with disgust!

They knew it. How could a piece of trash suddenly become a VIP of the Hundred Herbs Hall? No one would believe that there was nothing fishy going on.

She was indeed a despicable bastard! She was truly a disgrace to the rich and powerful. How could she even do such a thing!

When Ye Shu heard their low discussions, interest flashed across her eyes. She swirled the wine glass in her hand and looked up at Ye Shuang with a mocking smile. “You’re really interesting. I actually didn’t know that Miss Ye Shuang, who used to disregard me, actually understood me so well.” She stood up and slowly walked towards Ye Shuang, a stern smile in her phoenix eyes.

They were both stunning beauties, but when Ye Shu and Ye Shuang stood together, Ye Shuang’s radiance seemed to dim. She twisted the corner of her shirt as jealousy surged in her heart! Why was this trash so good-looking? She wished she could tear this face in front of her.

However, Ye Shu, who was dressed in a fiery red dress, walked over with an overwhelming aura. Ye Shuang was unwittingly frightened by the aura she emitted and took two steps back.

“W-what are you going to do?”

Everyone looked at this farce and sneered in their hearts. Could it be that she wanted to declare war on Miss Ye Shuang? She should take a look at herself—

At this moment, she did something unexpected.

“Ah!”

Ye Shu’s lips curled into a smile that could mesmerize all living things as she slowly placed the wine cup on Ye Shuang’s head. The wine that was poured out drenched her hair and clothes. The red liquid dyed her lake-blue clothes. Her hair was also messy, making her look like a drenched chicken! Ye Shuang could not help but exclaim!

“I’m in a bad mood today. You can leave now..”
