"I did so research. It is my first mission. I had to be sure I knew what I was getting into." Cai Lien shrugged.
We were headed to the Pill Tower. Getting there was the easy part. I could find where it was from anywhere in the city. Just looking up, I could see the huge tower above us. It was just massive.
Within a few minutes, I could see that the crowds were getting bigger. Pill Tower seed to be a place of huge significance for the normal masses as well.
If I had to guess, as a place of alchemists, they probably had a monopoly in the spirit pill market of the entire city, or even the entire region.
We could finally see the entrance to the tower, and saw that there was a huge line just to go in.
"Now we have to wait? I am sure that as sect disciples, we should get so preferential treatnt."I grumbled.
Cai Lien did not respond. She just looked forward with interest, trying to see what was going around here.
"Move away. Move away. Let him pass through!" A loud voice ca from the back of the street that we were just passing through. I glanced at what was going on.
A carriage with two monsters that I couldn't recognize was rushing towards at a speed that did not indicate that it intended to stop.
With so many people here, it just seed to want to plow its way through.
"Looks like I finally encountered a proper arrogant young master here." I sighed as I moved to the side. Now was not the ti for to ss around. I needed to focus on my story quest first. It was too important for to just put on the side.
"Move away!" the voice shouted again.
When everyone looked at the carriage, their expression changed, and they all gave way almost imdiately. They obviously recognized the person who was in the carriage, and they did not want to offend them.
But the mont that the carriage passed by us, it screeched to a halt with just a single word from inside the carriage.
"Stop." the man in the carriage said, and it stopped right in front of us.
The curtains around it did not let us see what was inside, but I knew that whoever was inside could see what was out.
"Look what we have here. Why is a young and beautiful lady like you standing in this crowd with all these people? Why not join ?" the man said, laughing.
"Are we not enough for you, young master?" a girl inside giggled.
I could understand what the situation inside was. This man was clearly the pervert.
Cai Lien's expression changed. But she did not retort. She just looked away.
"When my young master gives you the honor of eting with him, then you accept it." I felt a horrible pressure forcing the both of us to look at the carriage, and then to bend our knees.
"What family is this young master from, I wonder. I am from out of town." I asked, gritting my teeth.
"What family? Don't kid yourself. Don't you see the clover symbol on the carriage? Our young master is a disciple of an esteed alchemy master." a middle aged man ca out of the carriage and looked at us haughtily.
"And is it the intention of your young master to force two disciples of the Sky Heavens sect to kneel? One of them from the Inner sect?" I said, forcing a grin on my face.
"You are from the Sky Heavens sect?" the look from the man's face disappeared as quickly as the pressure did.
He glanced at our robes, and the truth dawned on him.
"Forgive us, disciples. I hope that you have a good day ahead of you." the middle aged man was about to go back into the carriage.
"Wait. Why do I need to care about who so disciple is. Why don't you co into teh carriage, baby doll? The Sky Heavens sect will not care about so random inner sect disciple. And you look like a new one." the sa lecherous voice ca from inside the carriage.
The eyes of the middle aged man darted inside and out. He was obviously worried about where things were headed with this.
"Young master! The new sect master of the Sky Heavens sect is not like any other. I don't think that this is the ti for this." the middle aged man said in a whisper.
"I don't care. The sect will not offend my master over a small disciple. For disrespecting , break the legs on the male disciple, and grab the girl." the young master said.
Now, my face darkened. He wanted to take this fight to , so I obviously had no choice but to retaliate.
"What is happening over here?" another voice intervened.
A man wearing a robe bearing the sa clover symbol as this young master's carriage did walked over. He glanced at the two carriages, and shook his head.
"Escort the young master inside. I am sure that he had his fun for the day." he sighed.
"Looks like he faces this problem quite a lot." I chuckled.
The middle aged man's face darkened.
"Are you trying to insult our young master boy?" he said, shouting.
"I did not say anything till now, because I was in the Pill Tower. But you are in the sa realm as I am. The only difference is that you are a part of a force that focuses on making pills while I co from a force that prioritizes fighting. Do you think that you can actually go against ?" I shouted as I stood up to the force that he was putting up.
