"Isn't that Xuan Yin Old Ghost?"
"That's right, the old fellow running that stall is Xuan Yin Old Ghost. But who's the female Dou Zun clashing with him?"
"Her aura is unfamiliar, but she's powerful, every bit a match for that old fellow Xuan Yin. You could even say she surpasses him."
"Heh! Who cares? Xuan Yin has made a habit of screwing people over. Let them fight."
"..."
On the third floor of the Alchemist Platform, quite a few experts watched with the attitude of spectators enjoying a show.
Xuan Yin Old Ghost had a poor reputation around here. Now that he had encountered an evenly matched opponent like Chen Xuan, they could hardly wait for the two to come to blows.
Xuan Yin Old Ghost's gaze turned sinister. As he watched Chen Xuan's surging aura even begin to overpower his own, his expression instantly darkened.
"Your Excellency, buying and selling requires both parties' consent. Are you trying to force me with your strength?"
"I'm no pushover. If you want a fight, I won't be afraid of you."
Xuan Yin Old Ghost stared darkly at Chen Xuan, seemingly unafraid of fighting him.
Though Chen Xuan was powerful, he was not that much stronger than him. Xuan Yin Old Ghost remained confident that even if he could not defeat Chen Xuan, he could escape from his hands.
"Sister, private fights aren't allowed on the Alchemist Platform. If a battle breaks out, the Pill Tower's experts will intervene directly."
Seeing Chen Xuan and Xuan Yin Old Ghost practically at drawn swords, Cao Ying's delicate face grew somewhat tense.
She had never expected a woman she had casually met on the street to be so powerful, or seemingly so hot-tempered.
"You two, the Alchemist Platform is a place for trade, not fighting.
