Lin Churan: Are You Worthy of Being Compared to Holy Son Ye?

But Ye Xuan merely glanced at the two of them before withdrawing his gaze.

Still, he had not expected Lin Churan's guests to be these two.

This was getting interesting...

"Hehe, the two of you may not know this, but Holy Son Ye is also a guest I invited."

"Please, sit!"

Lin Churan hurriedly spoke, inviting Liu Yunxi and Xiao Chengfeng to take their seats.

But they had barely sat down when Liu Yunxi impatiently said, "Shopkeeper Lin, what exactly do you mean by this?"

"Aren't we here to discuss business today? Why are outsiders present?"

Xiao Chengfeng also wore a cold expression. Making him sit with Ye Xuan was simply an insult to him.

"What a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Holy Son Ye also came to discuss business with me, so why not talk together today?" Lin Churan spread her hands. "Or you can come back tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?"

Xiao Chengfeng said displeasedly, "Shopkeeper Lin, what is Ye Xuan supposed to be? Don't forget, the business we're discussing concerns the very survival of your Hundred Herbs Pill House!"

"Holy Son Ye arrived first. In all things, there should be an order of first come, first served, shouldn't there?" Lin Churan still looked utterly unconcerned.

"You!"

Xiao Chengfeng's chest heaved with anger. He wanted to say more, but Liu Yunxi stopped him.

This time, they had come to Hundred Herbs Pill House not merely for business, but also because of the Ling Family's instructions. They could not afford to botch this.

"Since that is the case, let us discuss business first!"

Looking completely fearless, Liu Yunxi said, "As we discussed before, the Azure Mist Sect will refine Qi Gathering Pills and Spirit Nurturing Pills for Hundred Herbs Pill House, but we want seventy percent of the commission!"

"Seventy percent?" Lin Churan raised a brow, suppressing her anger as she said, "Have you lost your minds?"

What she had initially agreed upon with the Azure Mist Sect was a fifty-percent commission!

That had already been an astronomical commission. Now Liu Yunxi was demanding seventy percent the moment she opened her mouth. What profit would Hundred Herbs Pill House have left?

"Hehe, does Shopkeeper Lin have any other choice?" Xiao Chengfeng looked as if he had Lin Churan completely cornered.

He knew that Hundred Herbs Pill House currently had no alchemists to use, and had previously exhausted its family fortune stockpiling a vast quantity of medicinal herbs. If she wanted to refine a large number of pills in a short time, cooperating with the Azure Mist Sect was Lin Churan's only option!

"Shopkeeper Lin, you also know that three days from now will be the day Hundred Herbs Pill House duels Lingyun Pill House in alchemy. If you refuse, then you can only admit defeat!"

Liu Yunxi smiled as well. "We should also remind Shopkeeper Lin that Young Master Ling Tian came to us yesterday. His payment was not low either!"

A threat!

This was no longer a business negotiation, but a naked threat!

Lin Churan's face flushed with humiliation and anger, and her beautiful eyes grew increasingly sharp.

But Xiao Chengfeng and Liu Yunxi merely exchanged a glance and sneered.

Today, they had Hundred Herbs Pill House firmly in their grasp.

"Seventy percent?"

"You might as well go rob someone."

At that moment, Ye Xuan, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"I, the Violet Firmament Sect, will take this business. As for the commission, the Violet Firmament Sect only wants forty percent!"

Huh!?

In an instant, all three people in the private room turned to look at Ye Xuan, staring wide-eyed.

"The Violet Firmament Sect?"

"Hahahaha!"

After being stunned for quite some time, Xiao Chengfeng finally came back to his senses, as if he had heard some enormous joke.

"How utterly ridiculous. Do you really think you are the Holy Son of the Violet Firmament Sect?"

"Can you represent the Violet Firmament Sect?"

"Besides, even if you can represent the Violet Firmament Sect, who doesn't know that the Violet Firmament Sect no longer has a single alchemist?" Liu Yunxi raised her brows and sneered. "What does your Violet Firmament Sect have to take this business!?"

The Violet Firmament Sect had already declined. Over the past two years, all its alchemists had defected to the Azure Mist Sect.

Besides, if the Violet Firmament Sect truly had such capabilities, how could the spies planted by the Azure Mist Sect not know?

"Whether we can take it is the Violet Firmament Sect's business. Whether you let us take it is Shopkeeper Lin's business."

But Ye Xuan could not even be bothered to look at Liu Yunxi and Xiao Chengfeng's faces.

"Shopkeeper Lin, you must not be deceived by this man!"

"He is merely a worthless mortal. What does he know about alchemy? That Holy Son position is nothing but an empty title!"

Xiao Chengfeng hurriedly turned to Lin Churan.

"Shopkeeper Lin, to tell you the truth, I awakened a first-grade Exotic Fire the day before yesterday. Cooperating with the Azure Mist Sect is your only choice!"

As Liu Yunxi spoke, she opened her slender hand, and a pale blue flame suddenly rose from her palm.

A first-grade Exotic Fire!?

Lin Churan raised her brows. She had not expected Liu Yunxi's talent to be so exceptional that she had awakened an Exotic Fire as well.

Across the entire Northern Region, she would definitely be one of the rarest of the rare.

But compared to Ye Xuan's second-grade Exotic Fire, it was nowhere close.

"Miss Yunxi truly is exceptionally gifted!"

Yet Liu Yunxi still offered the praise with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

"Hmph. In that case, Shopkeeper Lin should know how to choose." Xiao Chengfeng said arrogantly. "Some people may never have been a Holy Son before, so they think everyone is easy to fool!"

"It was only because Yunxi was blind back then that she let herself be deceived by you!"

"A person must know their own limits. This is not a place you should be!"

Although Xiao Chengfeng had his chin raised and did not look at Ye Xuan, these words were clearly meant for him.

"Holy Son Xiao is right. Then I can only see the guests out!"

At this moment, Lin Churan also placed the lid over her teacup, assuming the posture of seeing guests off.

Liu Yunxi and Xiao Chengfeng exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with smug satisfaction.

"You should get lost!"

Xiao Chengfeng looked at Ye Xuan, his contempt entirely undisguised. At last, he could drive this eyesore out.

Yet Ye Xuan showed no intention of getting up. Instead, he leisurely sipped his tea.

"Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

"You don't need to keep deliberately appearing before me. There is no longer any possibility between you and me!"

"Leave now and save yourself a little dignity!" Liu Yunxi cast Ye Xuan a sidelong glance, her voice cold.

"Are you two mistaken?"

At that moment, Lin Churan suddenly said, "The ones I am seeing out are you two."

"You... what did you say!?"

Liu Yunxi froze in place, unable to react for a moment.

"Shopkeeper Lin, what do you mean?" Xiao Chengfeng asked with a frown.

"I merely wanted to leave the two of you a little dignity as well."

"Must I make myself even clearer?" Lin Churan raised her brows with a smile.

A mere first-grade Exotic Fire, and they wanted to use a seventy-percent commission to threaten her Hundred Herbs Pill House?

How laughable!
