After hearing this, Chen Yi showed no sign of delight. Instead, he waved a hand and said with a smile:
"I wouldn't dare accept such a title as Boss Wang."
"After all, the business between Hundred Herbs Hall and the Xiao Family Medicine Hall was negotiated by Boss Wang and the Eldest Miss. I merely ran a few errands on their behalf."
Even though Liu Lang was injured now and most of his True Essence could not circulate freely, his physical hearing alone was enough to catch the sounds from upstairs.
No matter how much protection this quiet room had, it was useless.
In truth, Liu Lang was not the only one.
At this moment, Chen Yi could hear some of the sounds outside as well. They were simply too faint for him to make them out clearly.
Wang Ji was taken aback, but when he saw Chen Yi raise a hand and point downstairs, he understood.
"My lord jests. Outside, I can still address you as Shopkeeper, but in private, I fear that would be inappropriate."
"If the Eldest Miss found out, she'd have someone give me a beating with the paddle."
Chen Yi made a gesture for him to keep it up before continuing, "As long as the person is capable enough, it doesn't matter if we spend a little more Silver Coins."
"Rest assured."
Wang Ji nodded toward Liu Lang and said, "Just like Liu Yuan, that person's abilities certainly won't disappoint you."
Chen Yi said with a smile, "After what happened with the Phantom Sound Sect last time, it's a good thing that Boss Wang is being cautious."
"That's true..."
The two chatted upstairs, their voices falling clearly into Liu Lang's ears.
