Chapter 11: The Poisonous Tongue

  Sharp-tongued person

  Duan Chu had no impression of this young man in his memory, and he didn't wear any shoulder badges or collar badges related to his identity, so it was unclear whether he was an Awakened or an ordinary person. However, judging from the tone, the visitor must have been related to Yuan Jintang, and Wang Hanchi would probably be in trouble.

  As expected, the young man didn't listen to Wang Han-chi's explanation at all. He simply pointed to the attendant behind him and asked: "The one who kept you waiting in the pharmacy and refused to provide medicine is... him?"

  The attendant nodded with a sad face, and Wang Han-chi's face suddenly turned pale.

  "Great Master, I... " He muttered for half a day, his eyes rolling around, constantly looking at Duan Yaqing and Meng Jiaxuan, hoping that the two nobles could help plead for mercy.

  Duanyaqing's eyebrows jumped, and she took a light step forward, bowing her head slightly with an apologetic tone: "Yuanshao, I'm really sorry, it was my fault. I had to find my seventh brother for something urgent, and Manager Wang also wanted to help persuade him to stay..."

  She looked at Duan Chu with a face that wanted to speak but stopped, seeing him hook up his lips with an expression of watching a good show. Her hands clenched tightly, her anger boiling over in her heart. If she hadn't offended the Yuan family, a pharmaceutical family, and was worried that Wang Han-chi would hastily say something to offend Yuan Yong-yu, as the eldest daughter of the Duan family, why did she need to lower her face like this and humbly ask for help from a late-blooming warrior who hadn't even entered the military department?

  Duan Chu glanced around, amused. Duan Ya Qing's vague and flawed explanation actually evoked sympathy from the onlookers, it seemed that even on a planet like Ivissa that valued strength, they couldn't help but care more for delicate and beautiful people. Fortunately, Duan Ya Qing's methods were far inferior to Bei Jing Lan's, otherwise she would have caused him no small amount of trouble.

  Yuan Yongyi took in the interaction between the two, and saw Wang Hanchi's moved expression, raised an eyebrow, and smiled warmly at Duan Yaqing.

  "Miss Duan is being polite, I heard that the eldest miss of the Duan family is very caring towards her younger half-brother. It seems there's really something urgent to discuss with Young Master Qi, why bother having Manager Wang break store rules and delay for more than half a day? And even send someone to intercept him in such an unscrupulous manner. You don't need to make excuses for him."

  As he spoke, his voice turned cold, and the atmosphere towards Wang Han-chi also changed: "Since you're so eager to please Miss Duan, even forgetting the rules of the Yuan family, then follow Miss Duan Ya-qing today. Coincidentally, I heard that Mrs. Bei Jing-lan is planning to open a pharmacy, and the location has already been chosen! You, as an experienced pharmacy manager, are absolutely capable of taking on this task."

  Duanyaqing was like being slapped in the face, her face turned red and white, she heard the whispers of onlookers around her, feeling both ashamed and angry. But she couldn't afford to offend Yuan Yongyi, a young master with a deep background, so she could only swallow her anger and humiliation, her bright eyes suddenly misting over, looking very wronged.

  Meng Jiaxuan, as the quasi-fiancé, couldn't just stand by and watch, so he stepped forward to speak up for his fiancée. But before he could say anything, Yuan Yongyi reacted even faster and cut him off.

  "Huh, Miss Duan, what's not satisfying you?" Yuan Yongyi's face was full of surprise, and then he suddenly realized and said: "Ah, I see. This is worrying that Young Master Meng will be jealous? Don't worry, don't worry, Manager Wang is just a follower, doesn't this prove your charm, Miss Duan? Since Young Master Meng wants to get engaged with you, he naturally won't mind such a small thing, right?"

  Meng Jiaxuan suddenly felt that Yuan Yongyi was hateful to the extreme. Just now, he had slandered Duan Yaqing for colluding with outsiders to bully his younger half-brother, but now he had pushed everything onto someone else. Meng Jiaxuan couldn't help but glare at Duan Yaqing in anger. If it weren't for the fact that her bought-off person was discovered, Yuan Yongyi wouldn't be like a madman, biting everyone he met.

  Duan Chu had never seen Duan Ya Qing so stifled, yet unable to speak out. He felt a sense of unease, as the matter had started with him, but it wasn't that serious. Even if he was angry at Wang Han Chi for betraying his lord, Yuan Yong Yi didn't need to slap Duan Ya Qing in the face like this. But since this body hadn't had any dealings with him before, it naturally wasn't for the original owner's sake. So, did this young master of the Yuan family have hostile intentions towards Duan Ya Qing or the Duan family?

  Duan Chu frowned, neither Duan Jia nor Duan Ya Qing had a good impression of him, but he also didn't want to be used as a tool by others.

  "Let's go!" He said in a low voice and was about to leave with his foot raised.

  "Seventh brother, seventh brother..." Duan Ya Qing hastily stepped forward and stretched out her hand. Seeing the two fourth-level warriors behind Duan Chu, she asked with an unnatural expression: "Seventh brother, I have something to discuss with you. Shall we go to Alkaid, okay?" As she spoke, she also pulled Mu Jia Yan along.

  Meng Jiaxuan was trying to get out of the awkward situation, and upon hearing this, he looked at Duan Chu with a gentle face and softly persuaded: "Yes, Little Chu, your sister is also too anxious. Let's go talk to Alkaforn about it, and since you're over 18 years old now, I didn't get to give you the birthday gift I promised!"

  Meng Jiaxuan was confident in himself, Duan Chuxin was sentimental and weak, how could he go against his wishes.

  Duan Yaqing's eyes flashed with displeasure, but thinking of Xuan Shi, she endured it. Meng Jiaxun was her best choice on the planet Yiwesa. Once they were engaged, they could return to the capital planet and attend the Demos Academy, becoming a high-level pharmacist. No one would dare look down on her again because of her status as an illegitimate child. Even if warriors could take four concubines, Meng Jiaxun would only have her as his wife, just like his father had only guarded his mother, Bei Jinglan. As for Duan Chu, that waste, he didn't even have a chance.

  "What gift?" Duan Chuyi spoke up, seeing the joy in their eyes, and walked forward with a mocking smile: "A gift for betraying our engagement?"

  After finishing speaking, he let out a cold snort and walked past the two people who were stunned into silence. He didn't even bother with the burst of laughter behind him and quickly left Yuan Jintang.

  Pu Rui quickly glanced at Yuan Yongyi, who was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out, and then saw the even more unsightly faces of Meng Jiaxiang and Duan Yaqing. He hastily lowered his head and jogged to catch up with Duan Chu.

  "Seventh Young Master, are you still going to the pharmacy?" Pres was even more certain of his previous speculation and became even more respectful towards Duan Chu.

  Duan Chu nodded and happened to have a pharmacy on his side. Seeing Steeve and Ma Wen following, he turned around and walked in.

  "Hello, what medication do you need?" A sweet-looking waitress walked over, her eyes darting back and forth, seeing Steve's and Marvin's shoulder badges, a hint of frenzy flashing in her eyes.

  "Shu Ning agent." Duan Chu said. He noticed that this store was much smaller than Yuan Jintang, and the name didn't have the strange symbol he saw at Yuan Jintang before, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

  The female attendant smiled slightly awkwardly, bowed her head and replied: "Sorry, all spiritual medicines that work on ordinary people are only sold in pharmacies affiliated with the Contractor's Guild."

  Duan Chu opened his eyes, and the spiritual medicine he could understand, those concentrated spirits, evolution agents must be, but he just wanted anesthetic, how would it relate to spiritual power, what is the contract guild? The original owner's memory and his understanding of the star domain network in the past few days did not have this information. Duan Chu couldn't help but think of Lin En's doctor mentioning that ordinary people's spiritual power damage can only be treated with rest.

  "Are those medicines that can affect ordinary people's spiritual power also sold in those pharmacies?" Duan Chuzhi asked hesitantly.

  The female attendant smiled and nodded, and information related to the contractor was not publicly available, so it's no wonder the young man didn't know. She patiently explained in a soft voice: "Ordinary people with damaged spiritual power are very difficult to cure, only the A-class spirit condenser made by the contractor can be used, while the comfort agent is an auxiliary product of the A-class spirit condenser, used to relieve the discomfort symptoms caused by ordinary people's unstable spiritual power when they are impacted. However, the medicine prepared by the contractor is extremely rare and is only supplied to pharmacies affiliated with the Contractor Association."

  Duan Chu heard this and immediately understood that his symptoms of dizziness were different from what he had thought before, and he couldn't help but be shocked. If it weren't for the previous attack by Xuan Shi, this time the abnormality on the flight device might have aroused other people's suspicion. Moreover, the way the contract maker made medicine was actually different from that of ordinary medicine makers, let alone the planters? He knew too little about the contract maker, and this was too passive.

  "Thank you!" Duan Chu covered up the faint unease in her heart and thanked the waitress, quietly leading Pres and the others away.

  "Seventh Young Master!" Pres hurriedly stepped forward, nervously apologizing: "Seventh Young Master, this news... I didn't investigate thoroughly..."

  "Hahaha..." A burst of hearty laughter broke through Pres's unease, Duan Chu raised his head, and Yuan Jintang's young master, Yuan Yongyi, was standing in front of him, looking at him with great interest.

  Duan Chu stood quietly, somewhat puzzled by his intentions.

  The young man's movements were exceptionally elegant and leisurely, his eyes calm, his expression serene. He was a far cry from the timid and weak-willed person that rumors had made him out to be. Yuan Yongyi couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth in disdain, thinking that Meng Jiaxuan must have been blind.

  He actually abandoned a young man with exceptional intelligence and deep feelings for him, choosing instead a woman with only supposed pharmaceutical talent and not enough depth of mind. Mo Jia-yi will regret it sooner or later. What's the use of Bei Jing-lan being a high-level pharmacist? With the power and wealth of the Mo family, can't they even afford to buy their own Mind Focus Pill? Moreover, Duan Ya-qing will be burdened with the title of illegitimate daughter for her whole life. Once the matter of Duan Chu and Mo Jia-yi's affair is exposed in the Covenant Society, who knows if the incident of the Duan family expelling the second wife more than ten years ago will happen again.

  "Hey, if you want to buy Shu Ning agent, this Yiwu's central street, except for my Yuan Jintang, can only go to the other side of He Fengge. However, that place is only welcoming females." Yuan Yongyi said with a smile, his face full of spirit and vitality.

  Duan Chu found that his previous impression of Yuan Yongyi being gentle and elegant was completely wrong, as the other party was actually quite eccentric, similar to his youngest cousin Ning Kangyuan. He couldn't help but curve his lips and say: "You brought it for me?"
