The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Seeing this, the young apprentice hurriedly asked again, "Miss, do you need these medicinal herbs? How much do you need? I'll go and pack them up for you right away."

Fang Qingyou feigned surprise and asked, "Your pharmacy has this kind of medicinal herb? Didn't you say these herbs are cheap? Why are you selling them to customers now?"

The young apprentice was speechless when asked the question, but when he saw the slightly mocking smile on Fang Qingyou's lips, he suddenly realized what was going on.

He finally understood; this girl was just playing him.

Just as the young apprentice was about to get angry, the taller apprentice pushed him behind her and said, "Young lady, he's ignorant and narrow-minded. Don't take him seriously. What herbs do you want? Let me pack them for you."

The tall young medicine boy could tell that Fang Qingyou was teasing them, but what did it matter? As long as he could get money, that was all that mattered.

Anyone who can casually produce a gold ingot, even if she's just a young girl, must be extremely wealthy and powerful.

The tall young medicine boy glanced at Yi Lingyun and She Yuyan beside Fang Qingyou, becoming even more certain of his guess.

"I wanted these fresh medicinal herbs. I thought they were from your shop, but I didn't expect them to be this gentleman's. In that case, forget it, I'll just buy them from this gentleman." Fang Qingyou's face showed some regret as she turned to walk towards the man.

The tall young herbalist quickly stopped Fang Qingyou: "Miss, I have some fresh medicinal herbs here."

As he spoke, the tall young apprentice held out the fresh medicinal herbs in his arms to her.

"What about these? I'd like to buy these too."

Upon seeing this, the tall young medicine boy's expression changed slightly. He had just spent so much silver to "buy" only the fresh medicinal herbs hanging on the man's body.

Although he had actually paid enough money to buy all the fresh medicinal herbs from the man, he couldn't say that the herbs in Fang Qingyou's hands were "bought" by him, since he really wanted to make the deal.

"Miss, wait for me a moment." The tall young apprentice stared at the gleaming gold ingot in Fang Qingyou's hand for a long time, then gritted his teeth, took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, and walked towards the man.

Some loose silver in exchange for a large gold ingot—this deal is a bargain no matter how you look at it.

This time, the tall young herbalist became respectful towards the man: "Brother, I'll take the rest of your fresh herbs. Here's the payment for the herbs, please keep it."

The man hadn't recovered from the pain when the tall young herbalist snatched away the fresh medicinal herbs.

At this moment, he had recovered and stood up again, so he shook his head and refused to accept the tall medicine boy's money: "Medicinal herbs can save lives, so there is no distinction between high and low. Since you despise my medicinal herbs, then I will not sell them to you."

Upon hearing this, the tall young apprentice's face darkened, but he quickly put on a smile again: "Brother, I was ignorant and foolish before. Now I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and sell me the rest of these medicinal herbs."

The tall, strapping apprentice looked at him with a fawning expression, but the man still shook his head and firmly said, "Not for sale."

With that, the man turned and left without hesitation.

"Big brother, big brother, you..." The tall young apprentice wanted to catch up with the man but was afraid that Fang Qingyou would leave in the process, so he did not dare to chase too far and only chased a few steps before returning to the pharmacy.

When the man spoke, Fang Qingyou felt that his voice was somewhat familiar. Now, seeing his departing figure, his straight back, and his somewhat worn blue robe, she couldn't help but think of someone.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but smile; she hadn't expected to meet them again.

“Miss, do you think these herbs are enough? If not, you can take these first, and I’ll give you the rest when you come back another day. Is that alright?” The tall young apprentice’s smile was already somewhat forced. He was afraid that Fang Qingyou wouldn’t want these herbs, because he knew that she was just teasing them.

At this moment, the tall young herbalist hated the man to the core. Damn it, he had been so eager to recommend his herbs to them before, but now that they wanted to buy them, this brat refused to sell them!

It really pissed him off.

As it turned out, the tall medicine boy's worries were not unfounded, because this soon became a reality.

"No need. I suddenly feel like I don't need so many medicinal herbs. What I have is enough. I'll go find that guy to pay later."

As Fang Qingyou turned to leave, the tall young apprentice hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Miss, the medicinal herbs I have are the same as yours. You can buy mine!"

Fang Qingyou glanced at the medicinal herbs in the tall young apprentice's hands, then at the herbs in her own bosom, and shook her head earnestly: "No need, I still want to buy the herbs I have here."

After that, Fang Qingyou ignored the tall young apprentice and chased after the man with the large gold ingot, calling out, "Big brother, wait a minute..."

Seeing this, the tall young medicine boy almost cried. He tried to grab Fang Qingyou, but before he could touch her, a sword sheath suddenly appeared out of thin air and struck his hand directly.

"Ouch! Ouch—" This blow, which looked very light, made the tall boy scream immediately, tears streaming down his face, because it hurt so much that he felt like his hand was going to be chopped off!

The tall young apprentice looked closely and saw Yi Lingyun's cold and handsome face.

"If you dare touch her, your hand will really be broken next time!"

This imposing aura frightened the tall young apprentice, causing him to shrink back, no longer daring to pursue Fang Qingyou.

He wasn't stupid; he could easily tell that Yi Lingyun was a martial arts master.

At this moment, Yi Lingyun and She Yuyan had already left with Fang Qingyou.

The tall young herbalist remained where he was, watching Fang Qingyou and the other two leave, and then looking at the fresh medicinal herbs scattered all over the ground. He felt so angry that his heart was about to explode.

Just then, the gloating laughter of two other apprentice medicine boys could be heard.

"Haha, this fool! He saw right through that girl's tricks, yet he still clung to her. Now look what's happened—he's spent so much money on this worthless medicine, haha—"

"Yes, this is a huge loss." One of the three apprentice medicine boys, who had been silently watching the show, chimed in.

The tall young apprentice, already seething with anger, was now practically spitting fire when he heard the two mocking him: "What did you say? It's all because of you two bastards that I lost so much silver!"

The tall young apprentice roared and lunged at the two men with a fierce expression.

"Did I say something wrong? You're just stupid..." Before the apprentice could finish speaking, he was punched hard in the face...
