Chapter 449 - The Little Old Man’s Identity (2)
At the venue of the medicinal herb exchange meeting…
After waiting for several hours, Sun Wei didn’t see anyone from the Lan family and kept circling on the spot. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Hmph! He had to chase Zheng En and his group out of Blue Cloud City today. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease if they stayed here for another day.
On the other hand, Leng Ruoxue and the others were much calmer. They did what they were supposed to do without being affected in any way!
“The first elder is here!” someone shouted, and everyone’s eyes instantly turned to the door.
The Lan family’s first elder, Lan Hong, was currently surrounded by people as he slowly walked into the venue. As for the people beside him, most of the alchemists also knew them. The alchemists familiar with Leng Ruoxue and the others all cried out in their hearts when they saw who they were and silently worried for Leng Ruoxue and her group!
“What happened?” the first elder asked the advisor as he walked to Sun Wei.
“First Elder, Master!” Sun Wei bowed respectfully, forming a sharp contrast with his arrogant and overbearing appearance just now!
“Are you the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters?” Leng Ruoxue asked calmly after hearing Sun Wei call him master.
“Yes,” Ren Li replied lightly.
“How many disciples do you have?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. This president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters was about 50 years old, had good facial features, and looked quite upright. But why had he handled the matter back then so casually? She really couldn’t understand!
“Three. Why?” Ren Li was puzzled. This little girl’s thinking was so strange! Why was she asking him this? It had nothing to do with her.
“Oh!” Leng Ruoxue nodded slightly and stopped talking. Her question stunned many people for a moment because they didn’t know what her meaning in asking this question was!
“Master, these people are not alchemists. They are not qualified to participate in the medicinal herb exchange at all,” Sun Wei said impatiently.
“Alchemist Sun, who told you that only alchemists can exchange here? Going by your opinion, wouldn’t the medicinal herb merchants be unqualified to enter as well?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return.
“You… You are not herb merchants!” Sun Wei said after some thought. He believed that these people must have sneaked in as alchemists. He didn’t know why they were here, but he was confident that the Lan family would definitely not send invitations to nameless people like them!
“How do you know we’re not?” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Isn’t this man too self-righteous?
Sun Wei looked at the ordinary herbs on the stall disdainfully and said mockingly, “How dare you call yourself a medicinal herb merchant with these herbs you put out?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover. Didn’t your master teach you?” Leng Ruoxue looked at Ren Li and smiled.
“This is my business. You have no right to stay here anyway,” Sun Wei said unreasonably, his eyes glaring fiercely at Leng Ruoxue.
Leng Ruoxue turned her head to look at Ren Li and said fearlessly, “I’m very curious. Why did you accept this disciple? Your taste is really too poor! He’s simply a scumbag. I think your master will probably be angered to death if he knows that you accepted such a disciple.”
Hearing Leng Ruoxue’s words, everyone present couldn’t help but be at a loss for words. They were even sweating for her in their hearts. Phew, she was really too bold. She actually dared to criticize the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters in front of everyone!
“Damn it. What nonsense are you saying?” Sun Wei was furious!
Unfortunately, Leng Ruoxue couldn’t even be bothered to look at him.
“Haha, lass, you still dare to talk to me like this despite knowing my identity. You’re really gutsy!” Ren Li was not as angry as everyone thought. Instead, he laughed happily! Interesting. No one has dared to talk to me like this since I became the president of the headquarters. For some reason, this actually made him feel a little friendlier to her!
“I’m an honest child. Of course I have to tell the truth,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.
“Haha! Okay, what an honest answer. But I’m the president of the headquarters after all. Aren’t you not giving me face by saying this in public!” After laughing, Ren Li deliberately put on a stern face and spoke unpleasantly.
“Well, I’ve already said it,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.
“Lass, are you really not afraid of me at all?” Ren Li asked curiously.
Leng Ruoxue raised her head, looked at Ren Li up and down, and then shook her head. “No. If you dare to bully me, Little Icy won’t let you go.” She raised Little Icy as a shield.
“Uh! Who is Little Icy?” Ren Li couldn’t help asking.
“Him!” Leng Ruoxue pointed at the puppy sleeping soundly in her arms.
“Uh! So small?” Ren Li was a little speechless. How could such a small dog not let him go?
“What? Didn’t your master teach you not to judge a dog by its appearance?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a smile, her face full of curiosity.
“Of course I taught him,” a loud voice interrupted.
“Master!”
“Master!”
Two voices sounded at the same time. Ren Li and Zheng En looked at each other in surprise, both feeling a little baffled!
Leng Ruoxue looked at the little old man who suddenly appeared in realization. In fact, she had long guessed that this little old man’s identity was not simple, but she didn’t expect him to be the legendary Excellency Du Min.
Everyone present was stunned when they heard Ren Li and Zheng En actually call the little old man master at the same time, but they quickly reacted. Heavens! Wasn’t President Ren’s master His Excellency Du Min? At this moment, the alchemists were so excited!
The first elder of the Lan family, Lan Hong, was also stunned when he heard Ren Li’s greeting. He never dreamed that this old man was actually His Excellency Du Min. Suddenly, he remembered Lan Ning’er’s rudeness to this person. Alas! No wonder he had a deep grudge against the Lan family. It seemed like the Lan family had really slighted him.
“Hmph! En’er, someone is bullying you!” The little old man snorted coldly and then spoke to Zheng En amiably.
