"What did you say? I took away a Spirit Peeping Pill?"
Ye Chen turned around, his eyes slightly cold.
I just saw that this guy is not a good person, but I didn't expect that something would go wrong so quickly.
"Sir, please stop making trouble. The Peeping Spirit Pill is one of our most precious pills. You can't be joking!"
Lu Dayong caught up and said with a smile: "You can either pay for it or take it out. Once such a precious elixir is lost, I can't bear it!"
His expression was quite serious, but Ye Chen almost fell to the ground.
It's amazing that he can pretend to be so realistic when he talks nonsense seriously.
"It seems I still underestimated the thickness of your skin!"
At this point, Ye Chen was no longer too lazy to make excuses with the other party, and went straight to the point, "Tell me, what kind of trick do you want to play?"
"Playing tricks?"
Lu Dayong continued to pretend to be stupid, "Master, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
"Ha, you don't understand, right?"
Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with the other party and waved his hand, "Call your president out!"
“Our president can’t meet everyone!”
Lu Dayong's face became solemn, and he snorted coldly: "It seems that the young master doesn't want to admit it, right?"
"How could you do this?"
Ye Yanran couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Lu Dayong and yelled: "You must have been the one who robbed yourself, and then framed my brother!"
"Ha, two brothers and a sister, do you think the elder brother will act like the younger sister?"
Lu Dayong was not angry. Instead, he raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone, come and take a look. There are two thieves stealing pills here. After I caught them, they bit back!"
Because the sound was too loud, it attracted a lot of good people in an instant.
"What? There are thieves?"
"You are so brave, you dare to steal from the alchemist branch?"
"I want to see who dares to be so arrogant here!"
Within a moment, dozens of people poured in.
Some are customers who come to buy elixirs, some are medicine boys from this alchemist branch, and several alchemists.
"Alchemist Lu, what's going on?" An alchemist came out and asked.
"This kid just kept saying that he wanted to buy the Spirit Peeping Pill, so I took him into the inner hall to observe the finished product. I never thought that his purchase of the pill was fake, but the theft was real!"
Lu Dayong pointed at the container on which the Spirit Peeping Pill was placed, and said sternly: "Just now, when I wasn't paying attention, he actually took advantage of it and stole one of them. If I hadn't discovered it earlier, I'm afraid they would have escaped!"
"What? There is such a thing?"
The alchemist went over and took a look at the vessel, and when he discovered that there was indeed a Spirit Peeping Pill missing, he immediately became furious and said, "Boy, hand over the Spirit Peeping Pill quickly!"
Others also followed suit.
"Boy, look at how well you look, how could you do such a conciliatory thing?"
"And there's a cute little girl with you?"
"Do your parents know that you are doing such sneaky things outside?"
For a time, the two brothers, Ye Chen and his sister, became the enemies of everyone, and could be said to be the target of thousands of people.
After all, Lu Dayong is the alchemist here and is usually responsible for selling elixirs, so people are naturally more willing to trust him.
"Brother, what should I do?"
Being stared at by so many pairs of hostile eyes, Ye Yanran panicked and was at a loss.
"Don't worry, Xiaoran, as long as my brother is here, no one can do anything to us!"
After comforting Ye Yanran first, Ye Chen turned to look at Lu Dayong, half-smiling but not smiling: "You said I stole the pill, right?"
"good!"
Lu Dayong said resolutely: "When I brought you to see it just now, the three spirit-peeping pills were still there. In the blink of an eye, one of them disappeared. If you didn't take it, who else could it be?"
"Hmph, it's just a low-grade Peeping Spirit Pill. You don't want to give it to me. If I refine it myself, the quality will be much higher than these three, but..."
Ye Chen snorted coldly at first, and then changed the subject, "Since you said I stole it, I can't just listen to your side of the story, right? Where's the evidence?"
"Evidence?" Lu Dayong was stunned.
I originally thought that if things were so big, Ye Chen would be frightened and confused.
I never thought I could be so calm and composed!
Just thinking of Ye Chen's previous sentence, he immediately found an excuse to change the topic.
"What did you just say? You actually said you don't want these three Spirit Peeping Pills that were refined by Master Zhou Xueyuan as a gift. And if you refined them yourself, how can the quality be higher than this?"
After he repeated this, everyone's attention also shifted.
"Boy, you simply don't know how high the sky is!"
"Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know who Master Zhou Xueyuan is?"
"How can you, a clown like you, question Master Zhou's alchemy skills?"
Everyone attacked in unison, almost treating Ye Chen as a heretic.
If it weren't for the fact that the use of force was not allowed here, many people would have wanted to rush over to clear Master Zhou Xueyuan's name.
And this is exactly the effect Lu Dayong wants.
As long as he first occupies the high ground of public opinion, even if he commits suicide and then blames Ye Chen, Ye Chen will not have any chance to make a comeback.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Suddenly, an old voice came from deep inside the inner hall.
The sound was so powerful that it was like thunder on the ground, instantly suppressing all the noisy sounds.
"It's the president!"
"The president is here!"
"This is Su Jianning, the president of this alchemist branch. Everyone, please be quiet!"
After some people recognized the voice, their faces immediately became respectful.
Lu Dayong also quickly put away his arrogant attitude and stood aside, as if he was preparing to meet some big shot.
"Oh? Will it grow out?"
Only Ye Chen, instead of being shocked, looked towards the direction of the footsteps with interest.
"Ta, ta, ta..."
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and after a moment, two gray-haired old men appeared in everyone's sight.
One is slightly thin, like a candle in the wind.
The other one is more bloated, with a huge back and waist, and is very strong.
One is fat and the other is thin, forming a sharp contrast.
"Master Zhou is here too?"
"Oh my God, it's actually Zhou Xueyuan, the instructor of the Piaomiao Sect's outer medicine refining hall?"
"The three low-grade Peeping Spirit Pills just now were made by Master Zhou!"
"I didn't expect him to be here. Now there's something exciting to watch!"
After seeing the two old men clearly, everyone was even more shocked.
Because except for Su Jianning, the president of the alchemist branch, the relatively thin old man is none other than the instructor of the Piao Miao Sect's outer alchemy hall, Zhou Xueyuan!
And the three Spirit Peeping Pills that caused the dispute just now were made by this alchemy master!
"President, Master Zhou, you are here just in time, this boy..."
Lu Dayong was the first to come forward, preparing for the villain to file a complaint first.
But before he finished speaking, Zhou Xueyuan waved his hand, "I know!"
Lu Dayong did not dare to say anything more and immediately stepped aside, but his eyes looking at Ye Chen were full of pride and teasing.
