City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Deshui sat irritably in the seat of honor.
As the lord of a city, he did not lack medicinal herbs, but having spent several million to buy them for his son, the more he thought about it, the angrier and more stifled he felt.
Sigh.
City Lord Lu let out a sigh.
Since things had come to this, he could only find out that fellow's identity as soon as possible. If the man had no backing, it would not be too late to find a way to vent his anger.
"City Lord!"
A subordinate hurried in and said, "A master from the Pill Hall has come to visit!"
"Oh..." City Lord Lu shot to his feet and said in surprise, "Who has come to visit?"
His mind had short-circuited somewhat due to his foul mood.
"A master from the Pill Hall!"
"Whoosh!"
City Lord Lu walked out of the main hall as quickly as possible. When he saw the black-robed man standing at the entrance, his irritation and sorrow were instantly replaced by a thick smile. As he approached, he cupped his hands and said, "Master from the Pill Hall, your arrival brings splendor to this humble abode!"
"City Lord Lu."
The black-robed middle-aged man said flatly, "Your people are rather impolite."
He was currently very displeased. As an Alchemy Master from the Pill Hall, he received enthusiastic welcomes in every city he visited, yet when he came to Jun Yuan City, he had nearly been treated as a criminal and locked up.
"What happened?"
City Lord Lu had weathered great storms and seen towering waves. From the other's expression and words, he realized something must have happened. He hurriedly questioned his subordinate, and after learning the whole story, hastily apologized. "A misunderstanding, a colossal misunderstanding!"
