Chapter 31: The Manor Lord and the Castle Lord
One furnace of Washing Marrow Dan was refined, Shen Xiang put three grains of Washing Marrow Dan into his mouth, then he operated the Taiji Divine Technique to digest the medicinal power while absorbing the Five Elements Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth. At the same time, he also performed the Dragon Saliva Technique, condensing the "Dragon Saliva" that ripened the spiritual medicine!
The next morning, as soon as the sky brightened up, the Wang City became very lively. The incident of Dan Xiang Medicine Hall being smashed yesterday had also spread throughout the city. This was just a small disturbance, and as long as no one died, the city master would not intervene. However, now that his own son had been beaten, if the city master did not stand up and do something about it, others would mock him.
So Shen Lu Zong's shop entrance was surrounded by many soldiers, and two luxurious horse-drawn carriages drove out from the two wide streets towards that shop.
At the entrance of the shop, two luxurious horse-drawn carriages were parked, with many guards surrounding them. One side was from Danxiang Medicine Hall and the other side was the city lord's men. They came here for the same purpose, which was to find Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang was still practicing in the room, but his keen sense of hearing allowed him to hear a joyful and noisy sound coming from outside the door. He immediately woke up and listened carefully to the sounds at the entrance of the shop.
"Hua Zhuangzhu, I didn't expect you to personally take action for the sake of your son's trivial matter. You've really troubled yourself, please forgive me." A man's voice came from that black carriage, and this was Hua Gaoyun, the famous city master of Nanwu State.
"Hmph, your son has caused quite a bit of trouble for our Dan Xiang Medicine Manor this time! I didn't come here for his sake, but since someone made a move against my Dan Xiang Medicine Manor, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing."
This delicate voice carried a hint of anger, leaving Shen Xiang somewhat taken aback - the owner of Danxiang Medicine Hall was actually a woman!
After a simple wash, Shen Xiang left the room, walked through the backyard and entered the store, where Shen Lu had already been waiting.
"Uncle, why didn't you hide?" Shen Xiang asked in a low voice, and at this time, there was also a knock on the door.
Shen Lu Zong said: "I'm worried about you, that city master and village master are not easy to mess with."
As soon as the gate opened, Shen Xiang and Shen Lu Zong saw that outside the gate were rows of powerful soldiers, and of course, what caught their attention most were those two horse-drawn carriages.
"Is anything wrong?" Shen Lu Zong asked with a smile.
The people in the two carriages also got down, and the city master was a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a slight mustache, wearing a shiny golden robe.
The owner of the Nandan Xiangyao Zhuang was a slender and delicate woman with a gentle smile, wearing a blue skirt and covering her face with a white gauze, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water. As soon as she saw Shen Xiang and Shen Lü Zong, her lively eyes sparkled with a faint light.
"Are you the one who hurt my son?" Hua Gaoyun swept Shen Xiang with a glance and asked.
"That's right!" Shen Xiang replied, his face showing no fear at all. Although he was facing two noble figures from the royal city, he remained extremely calm. He could see that Hua Gaoyun was a warrior in the 8th level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and not only was he not afraid, but he also wanted to exchange blows with his opponent.
At this time, a group of people rushed in and squeezed in, pointing at Shen Xiang and scolding him. Those people were the guards who were injured by Shen Xiang, and they still had some gauze wrapped around their bodies.
"The owner is this guy who broke into our Danxiang Medicine Hall and injured us and the shopkeeper." a guard said with a snarl.
Hua Gao Yun's face turned cold with a smile, then he looked at the owner of the manor and said: "Now it is certain that it is him, Manor Lord Hua, what do you want to do with him?"
The next words of the owner of the flower village shocked everyone:
"Those who participated in smashing this store will be expelled from Danxiang Pharmacy. Although this young master caused trouble in Danxiang Pharmacy, it was also because our people were wrong first, so we won't pursue it further. Huayue Yun apologizes to the young master here and compensates for his losses on behalf of Danxiang Pharmacy."
The owner of Danxiang Medicine Hall actually apologized to people! Not only was Huagao Yun stunned, but Shen Xiang and Shen Lüzong were also confused. However, at this time they had a good impression of the owner, just like Su Meiyao said, the owner of Danxiang Medicine Hall was a person who could distinguish right from wrong.
"Although the flower master let you go, I won't let you go! Take him away, this man caused trouble in the king's city, injured many people, and must be severely punished." Hua Gaoyun would not easily yield like a woman.
Huayue's delicate voice whispered: "Hua City Master, the two people in front of you are both alchemists. Do you really want to be an enemy of the alchemists?"
Hua Gao Yun was stunned, and the guards and soldiers were also stunned! The old and young people in front of them turned out to be alchemists. Alchemists' identities are extremely noble, especially those old alchemists who should all be staying in those powerful families, enjoying a life of luxury. How could they appear here, dressed so shabbily?
Shen Xiang and Shen Lu Zong have been silent all along, from the beginning they were very calm, not afraid at all.
Shen Lu Zong said, "Master Hua, this shop was bought by me many years ago. Your son wanted to buy it from me, but I refused to sell. He took advantage of my absence and brought people to vandalize it. If you don't believe me, you can go in and take a look!"
"Old sir, you must be the master of Ling Dan Pavilion in Wohu City. And this young man who is good at disguise must be Shen Sheng, that famous genius from the Shen family." Hua Yueyun said with a faint smile, her enchanting eyes gazing at Shen Xiang, but Shen Xiang didn't move, which made Hua Yueyun secretly pout.
Isn't the freak of the Shen family, the one who defeated the Medicine Family's genius and elder, and became famous throughout Nanwu Country, Shen Xiang? He actually came to Wang City, and was with the Master of Lingdan Pavilion. It was already known by everyone earlier that the Master of Lingdan Pavilion had been used as a bet and lost to the Shen family!
"Now I'm no longer a cabinet minister, just an old servant of this young master." Shen Lu Zong said with a smile, and his words made one's jaw drop.
Ling Dan Ge's master was also quite famous in Nan Wu country, and unexpectedly became someone else's old servant. If it wasn't from his own mouth, others would definitely not believe it.
Hua Gao's eyebrows twitched, the other party were two alchemists, he didn't want to get entangled with them for the sake of his good-for-nothing son, that wouldn't be a wise move.
Shen Xiang looked at Hua Gaoyun and said in a cold voice, "Hua City Master, your son has moved against the Shen family's interests. If it were anyone else, I would have him killed! You should know that when a family's property is threatened, it's very serious!"
Shen Xiang's words, filled with murderous intent, caused many people to shudder involuntarily. Although the Shen family was not a martial arts household in Wang City, they had still inherited it for many years and had a profound foundation that should not be underestimated.
Hua Gao furrowed his brow, his face full of anger, but he couldn't erupt. He really had to consider the consequences of going against the Shen family. Although his relationship with the Yao family was good, it was only a beneficial one.
"We're leaving!" Huagao Yun shouted coldly, with a hint of resentment in his heart, and walked away on horseback.
