Chapter 44

Deng Man and her gang finally managed to finish the three thousand word self-reflection essay which had been the punishment from Teacher Huang. She had cried as her hands were almost crippled when she finished with the task. Feeling too tired to do anything else, she skipped the evening self-study session and went home with her schoolbag.

Her father was an apprentice of Liu Zhen, one of the renowned masters of chinese medicine. He had opened Liuji Medicine Hall under the banner of Liu Zhen. If she said that they would not sell the ingredient, who would dare to go against her?

Deng Man crossed her arms and looked at Bai Chuwei arrogantly. In a smug voice, she announced loudly. “In the entire Sea City, only Liuji Medicine Hall sells Four Season Spring. Unfortunately, I’m in a bad mood today and I don’t feel like selling it to you.”

Even though the Deng Family was not extremely wealthy, no one in the entire Henghua Secondary School dared to offend her.

Everyone knew that her father was Liu Zhen’s apprentice, and he was someone who was extremely protective of his own. Therefore, offending her was indirectly offending Liu Zhen.

All humans ate grains and were bound to fall sick someday. Who knew if a time would come where they needed help from Liu Zhen?

However, Bai Chuwei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the slut dared to bully her!

Now that she had the upper hand, Deng Man wanted Bai Chuwei to cry and beg for forgiveness!

Bai Chuwei looked at Deng Man’s proud appearance and could not help but find it funny.

She had lived for five thousand years and there were very few who dared to threaten her.

Bai Chuwei stroked her chin with interest and stared at Deng Man as if looking at a joke. She then smiled and told the girl in front of her. “This is Duan Xingye’s fourth uncle, Mr. Duan Feihan.”

Deng Man’s expression underwent a change when she looked at him. When her eyes collided with Duan Feihan’s chilly gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she stepped back subconsciously.

This was the fourth young master of Duan Family, who dominated the business industry and had an imposing aura.

Deng Man did not dare to meet Duan Feihan’s gaze. She realised that she had shot herself in the foot.

Who would not know Duan Feihan in Sea City? He was the one who currently led the Duan Family’s business and had faint signs of overtaking the eight aristocratic families. In addition, he was a really decisive man.

However, she had already declared they won’t be selling the ingredient and if she were to agree now… Deng Man’s complexion alternated between green and purple. She was really unwilling to embarrass herself.

She gritted her teeth and changed the tactic. “Four Season Spring is too precious and it’s not something my father and I can decide to sell. You must… you must obtain Master Liu’s approval.”

Bai Chuwei glanced at Duan Feihan and he picked up the bag which she had thrown on one side before heading towards Liuji Medicine Hall with her.

Bai Chuwei’s bag felt rather empty. It didn’t seem to have any weight.

Duan Feihan furrowed his brows. “Miss Bai, there are no books in your bag?”

Bai Chuwei answered nonchalantly. “Books? The bag only has a famous book which Duan Xingye gave me, nothing else.”

Duan Feihan’s eyes turned cold as he thought about this. ‘A book which Duan Xingye gave her…’

They entered Liuji Medicine Hall and saw a middle-aged man sitting inside the shop. His face betrayed a nervous expression. His hands were clenched together and he kept looking towards the backyard from time to time.

“Dad, where’s Master Liu?”

Deng Man’s father answered in concern. “Teacher Liu is sleeping in the backyard.”

Deng Man was overjoyed as she heard that and looked at Bai Chuwei and Duan Feihan in a fake apologetic manner. “Student Bai, you can’t blame me for this. Master Liu is currently sleeping. If you wish to purchase Four Season Spring, you can come another day.”

Bai Chuwei did not even bother to look at her. She changed her route and walked towards the backyard.

Everyone in Liuji Medicine Hall was shocked. Duan Manli, that lass chased behind Bai Chuwei and shouted. “Bai Chuwei, don’t go too far. I’ve already said that Master Liu is sleeping!”

On a wooden reclining chair in the backyard surrounded by a medicine garden, Liu Zhen was currently snoring and no noise could seem to wake him up.

Bai Chuwei glanced at him and said immediately, “Wake him up by splashing cold water on his face!”

Everyone present there was stunned. This Bai Chuwei was crazy. She wanted to splash cold water to wake up Master Liu?
