"I truly think highly of you, Lu Chen. You actually don't even dare to exchange pointers with my underlings." A smile appeared on Tang Yao's face, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
No matter how much Tang Yao and the others provoked him, Lu Chen remained unmoved.
"Let's continue following Young Master Lu and see if there are any good herbs."
"Help him spend more silver."
Following behind Lu Chen, Tang Yao and the rest were extremely arrogant. Next, no matter what medicinal herb he bought, the other party would raise the price without a care.
Lu Chen originally estimated that a thousand Soul Stone could buy dozens of medicinal herbs, but they deliberately caused trouble and only bought less than twenty.
"A tiger being bullied by a dog."
"How high-spirited was Young Master Lu Family two years ago? I never thought that he would actually be bullied to this extent."
"Lu Family is currently in a difficult situation, so I don't dare to easily offend them either."
… ….
Tang Yao was overbearing and many people secretly shook their heads, feeling some sympathy towards Lu Chen.
"Customer, the items have been packed for you."
"These are a thousand Soul Stone."
Taking the ingredients, Lu Chen prepared to give the Soul Stone to the old servant.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, a burst of force blew over, and the bag full of Soul Stone dropped to the ground.
"I'm so sorry."
"I accidentally knocked your purse off. Young Master Lu, you won't be angry, right?"
Tang Yao had a bright smile on his face as he apologized to Lu Chen. Those who didn't know the answer would think that he was indeed careless.
"So what if I'm angry?"
"This guy is just a piece of trash right now. If he gets angry at you, young master, he's just courting death!" Tang Si and the others grinned and said in a weird tone.
Lu Chen's expression slowly darkened. Originally, he didn't want to fight with others, but this Tang Yao was pushing his luck. Now, he wanted to kill someone.
"Young Master Lu, let me lead the way."
Suddenly, an old servant walked over with a smile and whispered to Tang Yao: "Young Master Tang, please have mercy on me. In Medicine House, as long as you are a guest, you will be respected, and so will you."
Tang Yao's face froze. Seeing that an experienced old waiter from Medicine House had helped Lu Chen, he felt a little unhappy. But no matter how strong his Tang Family was, he had no way to vent his anger at them. It was not worth it.
"Old bastard!"
After saying that, Tang Yao snorted and followed beside Lu Chen with his men. He had no intention of touching Lu Chen anymore.
"Thank you."
Wu Tie nodded. At the same time, the undulations in his hand returned to calmness. Tang Yao and the others were lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have minded losing some Profound Qi to teach them a lesson.
"I really didn't think that you would need a servant from Medicine House to stand up for you."
"You piece of trash, you actually became so useless."
Tang Yao had no choice but to vent his anger on Lu Chen.
"Young Master, I think you scared him last time!"
"He's just a coward now."
Seeing his master like this, Tang Si quickly answered and pointed at Lu Chen. His attitude was as arrogant as it could be.
"A piece of trash like him from the Lu Family, he's really disgracing himself!"
"For someone like him, to think that he would actually become a genius with profound strength two years ago. He's practically worse than dog shit."
… ….
Leading his men, Tang Yao mocked and ridiculed Lu Chen, almost pointing at Lu Chen and scolding him.
But unexpectedly, no matter how they provoked him next, Lu Chen just laughed it off. From his point of view, Tang Yao and the others were only barking. Do you think that dogs should bark back at you? But if a dog wanted to bite, he would not hesitate to kill it.
"I have truly experienced the good temper of young master Lu Family. Since you're acting like a man with your tail between your legs, then this young master will let you off this time."
Tang Yao shook his head with a smile, while his eyes were filled with disdain. He had originally thought that he would be able to get himself some fun, but to think that Lu Chen would actually turn into a coward. It was truly a disappointment to him.
"Young Master, are we just going to let him off like this?" Tang Si asked softly, unwilling to give up.
"Otherwise, do you have a way?"
Tang Yao asked back with a smile, which made Tang Si speechless.
A petite and delicate girl walked into the room. She had some rain, but her coat was dry in her hands. The girl had a picturesque appearance while her skin was as white as snow. Her young age, however, gave off a breathtaking feeling. At this moment, she was using her large eyes, which were filled with Spiritual Energy, to examine the situation inside as though she was searching for a certain figure.
"Dear customer, what can I do for you?" The young waiter stepped forward and asked softly.
"I'm here to look for someone. Have you seen our Young Master?"
"Your Young Master?"
"What's his name?"
"His name is Lu Chen."
Tang Yao was leading his underlings out when he heard the girl's voice. His footsteps paused for a moment.
"It's this little girl!"
"If that's right, she is Lu Chen's little maid."
… ….
After paying the Soul Stone, Lu Chen went downstairs to see that there were a lot of people gathered in the hall. Some were young, some were young. Most of them were guests from the Medicine House. Through the human wall, a few slightly strong figures could be seen standing in the middle, coincidentally blocking the main entrance. In front of him was a girl wearing a yellow dress. At this moment, she was staring at the figure in front of her with clear eyes. Her hands tightly gripped onto a piece of clothing as she had an angry expression on her face.
"You're not allowed to talk about my family's Young Master like that!" Shuang-er stared at Tang Yao, her clear voice was filled with anger.
"Lu Chen is trash."
"I really let him off this time for nothing. To think that a maid would be so beautiful." "As long as you agree to come back with me, you can guarantee your wealth and endless enjoyment." Tang Yao crossed his arms and smiled as he looked at the angry Shuang'er.
"Don't even think about it." Hearing Tang Yao's words, Shuang-er's face turned pale. Originally, her body was weak, but now, her face was as pale as paper. Just now, Tang Yao and the others had continuously humiliated Lu Chen in front of her, and they had even spoken frivolously to her.
"Little girl, it's so good to follow our young master. What's good about Lu Family? There's no power without money, and Lu Chen is even more of a trash now.
"Our Young Master Tang is brimming with heroic spirit. When the time comes, you will be overjoyed and forget about home and water every day." Tang Si chuckled. His expression was as vulgar as it could be.
"Don't even think about it." Shuang-er clenched her teeth. In her eyes, Lu Chen was the best Young Master, she wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of him.
"That's the kind of girl I like."
"If you don't agree today, then don't even think about going back." Tang Yao smiled as he stared at Duo'er and said with an evil smile, "Since I like you, even if Lu Chen is here, he can forget about taking you away."
"Furthermore, I really look forward to the opportunity today when I didn't cripple him last time."
Hearing this, Shuang'er's expression changed. Last time when Lu Chen and Tang Yao fought, she was also present. Her young master had an impulsive personality, if he were to fight with Tang Yao, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"You come back with me. I promise you that I'll let Lu Chen go in the future. What do you think?" Noticing the slight change in Shuang-er's expression, Tang Yao chuckled and said proudly.
"I don't want to be with a bastard like you." She was born pretty and cute, and although she was young, she was pretty and charming. Many of the surrounding men were pained by her actions, but after hesitating for a moment, they still did not dare to open their mouths to redress their grievances.
Tang Family was one of the top forces in the entire Blue Cloud City, and Tang Yao was even more so a Genius Martial Cultivator of Tang Family, favored by many. No one was willing to offend him, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.
"How about this! "It's fine if you don't want to follow me, but shout that Lu Chen is a bastard three times in front of everyone."
"If you do this, I'll let you go today."
"Impossible!" Shua'er pursed her lips and refused without any hesitation.
"Are you sure you want to refuse?"
"I'll give you one last chance. Otherwise, I don't mind crippling Lu Chen in front of you." Tang Yao said while looking at the direction of the stairs.
"You all..." Tears welled up in Shuang'er's eyes. However, she was extremely stubborn. She held her hands tightly.
"Hurry up and shout!"
"Our young master doesn't have much patience." Saying this, Tang Si went forward and pushed the two of them.
Originally weak, Shuang-er pushed him hard and fell to the ground in an instant. She fought back tears and gritted her teeth, trying not to cry.
"His temper is really similar to that trash Lu Chen." Tang Yao smiled and signaled Tang Si with his eyes. The latter had an unsettled understanding.
"Since you dare not listen to our young master's arrangements, I will teach you a lesson and make you lose face, Lu Chen." Saying this, Tang Si Yan threw his palms out towards Duo'er.
"Scram!"
Suddenly, a figure broke through the crowd, heavily smashing into Tang Si's body. This force was extremely strong, causing him to directly fall to the ground.
The sudden turn of events caused everyone to be stunned. They hurriedly looked over, and after recognizing the person, a look of pity appeared in their eyes.
"Lu Chen, you're courting death!"
Tang Si suddenly stood up, not caring about the dirt on his clothes as a wave of fury rose in his heart.
