169 The Conflict for the Pill Formulas 4

"Wei Yiyi, don’t you think that there has been an increase in masters cultivators in Azure Dragon Country recently?"

Gu Ruoyun looked at the cultivators hidden within the crowd in the streets. She raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

"Pfft!" Wei Yiyi covered her mouth as she giggled with wide eyes. "Well, wasn’t it because Gu Xianglin from the Gu family had snatched away the pill formulas from you a few days ago? Now, the news has been spread by god-knows-who and a lot of cultivators have come here. Their aim is the Gu Family! You can imagine how the Gu family can kiss their freedom goodbye now…"

Wei Yiyi was right. Ever since the news had been intentionally spread by certain persons, others began to sneak into the Gu family in the middle of the night to steal the pill formulas. This made the entire household restless. General Gu even put the word out that the formulas had been stolen but no one believed it because no one saw it themselves, so those tempted by the precious formulas still continued to flood in.

Of course, during this time, the Hundred Herb Hall continued with its pills-selling activities but no one placed their focus on the Hall because as they saw it, the Ghost Doctor was helping the Hundred Herb Hall with the pill refinement and nobody dared to defy her. Comparatively speaking, the Gu family was easier to deal with.

Only at this moment did Gu Xianglin realize that snatching away the pill formulas was the dumbest thing to do!

He had thought that with the capabilities of the Gentle Breeze Faction, nobody would dare to spread the news although many had witnessed it. Alas, in the end, the whole world knew…

At that moment, an aggressive voice fell into the ears of Gu Ruoyun who was just stepping into the doorway of the Hundred Herb Hall.

"Where’s this beggar from? Shoo! Don’t block the way of the Crown Prince!"

Crown Prince?

Leng Yanfeng?

Gu Ruoyun’s brows quickly frowned into a knot as she lifted her head to see a guard kicking a disheveled little beggar out. He drew his sword and pointed at the people waiting outside the door of the Hundred Herb Hall. He then coldly announced, "TheCrown Prince is here, all irrelevant people should leave!"

Once the order was made, the surrounding people, who didn't dare offend royalty, quickly dispersed.

Only the little beggar who had been kicked away stood up again. With a dirty face, he revealed a pair of stern eyes as he said, "I want to see the Ghost Doctor!"

"Humph!" the guard snorted coldly and pointed his sword at the beggar. He said in a stiff voice, "Today, the Ghost Doctor will only see His Imperial Highness! Other than that, everyone should leave this place, otherwise, don’t blame me when my blade knows no compassion!"

Leng Yanfeng had not said a word this whole time, as if acknowledging the actions of the guard.

The little beggar bit his lips and stubbornly responded, "I wish to see the Ghost Doctor for only she can help me!"

"Little fellow, don’t you understand the words coming out of my mouth?" The guard walked forward and grabbed the beggar by the collar. He viciously added, "The Crown Prince is here. Do you think that the Ghost Doctor has time for you, little beggar? The Ghost Doctor’s fees aren’t cheap. Do you even have enough funds to see her? Why don’t you go aside and pee to check yourself out!? Scram!"

Bang!

The guard swung with such mighty force that the little beggar tumbled away.

However, the predicted pain did not emerge. The little beggar had fallen into a soft chest and an elegantly tasteful scent flooded his nostrils. The feeling left him unusually at ease… 

The young girl’s voice was soft but bore a trace of sarcasm, "His Highness is pretty impressive but I think you’re in the wrong place. This is the territory of Hundred Herb Hall. Moreover, when had the Ghost Doctor agreed to meet you?"
