At this moment, Galan asked, "Minister Bai, I'll take these things that the Jiang family sent back to your room."

Bai Ningyu nodded: "Then I'll trouble you. Please give these ten protective magic items to Minister Lu to distribute to our team members!"

Even if Sui Liangren was stupid, he would realize at this moment that this was not asking where the items were, but clearly pointing at him!

However, Zhong Yi understood that although the Jiang family's invitation to Bai Ningyu had some personal matters involved, their main purpose was definitely for the Jiang family.

However, since they had already hinted at it, we couldn't pretend not to understand. We just wanted something from them.

It was clear that Zhong Yi and Sui Liangren had the same idea.

Since the Jiang family has given him protective magic items, he will give them some pills in return. Although the pills are precious, the Fan family will supply them, so it won't be too painful.

Thinking it over, Sui Liangren said with a stern face, "I'll give you one hundred Grade One Healing Pills, is that alright?"

Sui Liangren's arrogant tone was as if he were giving alms. After all, pills were scarce in every department, let alone a hundred of them at once.

I imagine Lu Ming would agree immediately, probably afraid I'd change my mind.

However, the situation that Sui Liangren had anticipated did not occur.

If this had happened in the past, Lu Ming might have actually agreed, but now...

Since ordering pills from Boss Fan, the quality of their pills has directly improved from low-grade first-class pills to high-grade second-class pills, or low-grade third-class pills, not to mention the top-grade pills given by Minister Bai.

He thinks he can get away with this little thing? That's too easy on him.

Lu Ming sighed and said, "It seems that Minister Sui's sincerity is nothing more than this. He can't help."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Sui Liangren became even more furious and shouted at Lu Ming, "Lu Ming! Stop pretending to be innocent after you've gained an advantage!"

"One hundred Grade One Pills aren't enough? What are you trying to do, trying to defeat the wolf in sheep's clothing? Don't tell me you don't care about so many healing pills anymore. I advise you to quit while you're ahead, or you'll end up with nothing!"

Hearing Sui Liangren say this, Lu Ming was not angry. Instead, he looked surprised and said, "No way, no way, Old Sui, you have the Fan family, a family of pill-making families, providing you with pills. You don't actually treasure a mere first-grade pill, do you?"

Although we don't have a family of alchemists, the pills that Minister Bai's disciples refine for us are all high-grade second-rank or third-rank pills.

Even a dog wouldn't eat a first-grade pill!

"Then the Fan family of Quancheng wouldn't have sent you a top-grade elixir, would they?!"

Galan glanced at Lu Ming, slightly shocked. Good heavens, is this still the same calm and serious minister she used to know?

When did the minister learn to speak like that? It's like, well, how was that saying again? Oh right! The aroma of tea fills the air!

Listening to Lu Ming's sarcastic words, I felt as if blood was rising in my throat. Listen to this, is this something a human being can say?

Even with the supply of pills from the Fan family of Quancheng, he wouldn't dare to say he looks down on first-grade pills. What makes Lu Ming think he can?

"A Grade One Pill? Even a dog wouldn't eat that! I don't believe their team members don't have any Grade One Pills on them! This must be Lu Ming saying this on purpose, trying to squeeze more benefits out of him."

Thinking of this, Sui Liangren's anger and sense of imbalance subsided somewhat, and he instead sneered, "Lu Ming, do you dare to say that none of your team members have any Grade One Pills?"

The next second, Lu Ming shouted towards the door, "Hey, a few people, come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four team members pushed open the door and entered.

Lu Ming said to the group, "Take out the pills that were given to you and show them to Minister Sui."

Upon hearing this, the group took out the pills they carried with them.

Sui Liangren's pupils contracted as he looked at the patterns on the pills and the rich medicinal fragrance. Sure enough, they were all second or third-grade pills. Not to mention, just the aroma alone told him that their effects must be excellent.

What Lu Ming said was actually true!

He gave the Fan family of Quancheng a lot of money every year, but the pills they sent over were of varying quality, and most of them were low-grade pills of the first or second rank, with even the third rank being rare.

But at least they have enough medicine, unlike other departments where medicine is scarce and team members can only tough it out when they are injured.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming had already used a Grade 3 pill!

Sui Liangren grew angrier the more he thought about it, and cursed the Fan family of Quancheng in his heart. The Fan family of Quancheng was just a bunch of useless good-for-nothings with the name of a family of pill-making families!

"How come you still have a Grade One Pill?" Lu Ming's voice pulled Sui Liangren back to reality.

The team member who was asked the question scratched his head and chuckled, "This was issued a while ago, but we haven't used it yet."

"Oh, I heard the other day that your dog, what's that called, Chasing Wind, was injured during a mission, right? Feed it some, don't be so stingy," Lu Ming said.

Unexpectedly, the team member said, "I fed Zhuifeng one before, but it wouldn't eat it! So I've kept this one until now."

At that moment, someone suddenly burst out laughing.

Sui Liangren's face was ashen, his blood rushing to his head, and he managed to suppress the metallic taste in his throat.

Lu Ming was also taken aback when he heard this, then clapped his hands and looked at Sui Liangren, saying, "See? Even dogs wouldn't eat it."

Sui Liangren: "..."

Zhong Yi: "..."

Garland thought to himself, "The minister really pulled a fast one this time."
