Chapter 1197: Chapter 60: Evil Spirits Erge [2-in-1]_3 Chapter 1197: Chapter 60: Evil Spirits Erge [2-in-1]_3 The old bailiff was nearly in tears trying to hold them back, whispering sothing close, obviously trying to explain that the “grocery store” was more than just a grocery store, but the young master kicked him away, “Get lost! What sort of powerful backing could a re shop have? How can such a big fuss be made about it? Can’t even touch it? What, are they so kind of powerful bullies? I won’t indulge their whims.”
Soone nearby sneered, “What master? What kind of powerful backing is this impressive? To forcibly demand the grocery to open its doors? The crown prince, perhaps?”
Soone laughed, “The crown prince? Even he wouldn’t behave like this…”
Another added sarcastically, “Who is this young master, so bold to co to Yuezhou and not know about Honest Groceries? Isn’t this setting soone up for failure?”
“Yeah, this little prick is definitely being set up, making a show at Honest Groceries as soon as he arrived—what else could it be but a trap, no, it’s practically a death wish, trying to get him killed. But it seems like it’s a ploy that hasn’t caught anyone for decades, right?”
“Indeed, indeed, no one’s fallen for this trick in a very, very long ti. This little prick must have so background to be so arrogantly annoying.”
“What a brainless thing to have done. Hahaha.”
“…”
The young master seed to realize he had stirred up a hornet’s nest, his face turning pale as he forced himself to remain calm, asking in a low voice, “What’s the big deal here?”
Soone quickly whispered a few words in his ear.
Monts later, the young master couldn’t turn and leave fast enough.
Tail between his legs, he didn’t look back.
Head bowed, too afraid to lift it.
Feng Yin just laughed outright.
He had been pondering whether to step forward and make a show of slapping so sense into the situation, but… there was no need for him to make a move, the guy had already bailed.
He then overheard soone whispering in secret.
They were saying that the young master was the son of so newly transferred official or sothing…
And this matter couldn’t just be dropped; even if Honest Groceries didn’t pursue it, the boy’s father was in for trouble…
Self-inflicted woes could not be averted!
Yet, this sort of trick hadn’t been used by anyone for decades, who would’ve thought that after so many years soone would fall for such an obvious ploy again, it’s the irony of fate!
After hearing this explanation, Feng Yin gained a new appreciation; Honest Groceries’ status today really wasn’t low at all!
Up on the second floor of Universe Building.
Leopard Elder looked over, with no intention whatsoever of coming down.
He knew there was no need for him to intervene; the officials would handle the situation properly. He watched for amusent, as it had been many years since such an incident had occurred—it was practically a sight to be seen.
But his gaze flickered in the instant, lighting up as he noticed two people, who seed to be…
Could it be… that he was seeing things?
Just as this thought erged, Leopard Elder didn’t even have ti to consider further—his hand already pressed against the window as he leapt down.
In a flash, he landed in the street, in front of Feng Yin.
His lips quivered, his eyes filled with disbelief; he hardly dared to speak for fear of being wrong, dreading the disappointnt of a mistaken hope.
“Leopard Elder, long ti no see,” Feng Yin said with a smile.
“You’re really back?” Leopard Elder asked, visibly shaking with emotion.
“Yes, so many years have passed in a blink, and it’s rare that Yuezhou City remains as it was. Leopard Elder looks well; seeing an old friend today is like a blast from the past.”
Feng Yin spoke with a tinge of nostalgia.
“I’m fine, but Dr. Feng, you’ve been adrift all this ti, it must have been hard.”
Leopard Elder looked Feng Yin over carefully, a relieved expression in his eyes, softly saying, “Dr. Feng still has a youthful appearance, as handso as ever. Miss Dong is unparalleled in her beauty, more radiant than in the past, the two of you together are truly enviable!”
“Now that you’re back, why not co up and sit for a while?”
“I was about to impose.”
Their exchange took place through whispered transmissions, so there was no risk of eavesdroppers hearing them.
Amidst their lighthearted banter, the three of them headed into Universe Building.
Leopard Elder eagerly led the way, attending to the guests with a wide smile, his face creased as if a flower had blood, bending over backwards in welco as if receiving esteed visitors, all the way.
This attitude certainly caused a lot of surprise among the spectators.
Throughout the Yuezhou region, if Honest Groceries was considered first, and the Yuezhou officials second, then Universe Building would have to be third, but only next to the status held by the grocery and the officials.
And who was Leopard Elder, the owner of Universe Building?
A great hero who once helped save Yuezhou City, and moreover, a martial practitioner of a higher echelon.
Even the Xu brothers from Honest Groceries had to pay respects in front of him, so why was he being so courteous to this young couple today?
No, it was more than courtesy; it was respect, even reverence.
So who were these young ones? What backgrounds did they have?
To think, even the crown prince might not have such status in Leopard Elder’s eyes.
Inside the private chambers of Universe Building reserved for guests, the aroma of tea was pervasive and refreshing.
Leopard Elder and Feng Yin discussed the nurous changes that had occurred during their years apart.
After the great battle, Wu Tiejun had led his troops away from Yuezhou, campaigning east and west, conquering all before him, and he had not returned for a long ti.
But they hadn’t lost contact; almost every few months, a letter would arrive, always inquiring about the whereabouts of Dr. Feng.
Fei Xinyu, as well, had ford her own army and gone off to war, her fa no less illustrious than Wu Tiejun’s.
