they're also very dangerous. As long as you have strength, you can understand the greatness of martial arts world that you see in the future." Cold White said.Sx clenched his fist, feeling much more...Chapter 31: Merchant Owner, City Lord

After refining a refining essence pill, Shen Xiang swallowed three pills and circulated the Taiji Divine Power while absorbing the five-element Spirit Qi from heaven and earth. He also cast Dragon涎 Technique to condense "Dragon涎" for the medicinal herbs.

The next morning, when dawn was breaking, the entire Wang city was bustling with commotion. This was due to yesterday's incident where the Danxiang Medicine Store遭受了 raiding. Although it was only a minor disturbance, the City Lord would usually not intervene unless someone dies, but since his own son was involved and was beaten up, the City Lord was expected to do something or face ridicule.

At this time, Shen Lusong's shop was surrounded by many soldiers. Two luxurious carriages were on the main streets, each headed towards the shop coming from different wide roads.

At the entrance of the store, two luxurious carriages were parked. Nearby, there were many guards from each side – Danxiang Medicine Store and the City Lord's team. They came for the same purpose, looking for Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang was still practicing within the room, but his sharp hearing allowed him to hear the commotion outside. He immediately woke up and listened carefully at the sound coming from the entrance.

A man's voice rang out from the black carriage, "Shen Lusong, I didn't expect you to personally come for such a small matter. It's been quite the inconvenience for me, please forgive me." That was Hu Gaoyun, a famous City Lord in Nanwu Country.

Shen Xiang's father said, "Hmph, your son has caused a lot of trouble for Danxiang Medicine Store! I didn't come here because of him, but someone attacked my store. As a merchant owner, I can't just sit by and do nothing." His voice was soft but carried the hint of anger.

The soft voice, tinged with anger, made Shen Xiang realize that the Merchant Owner of Danxiang Medicine Store was actually a woman!

After quickly getting ready, Shen Xiang left the room and went through the courtyard before entering the store. His father, Shen Lusong, was already there waiting for him.

"Uncle Zou, why didn't you hide" Shen Xiang whispered. At that moment, the door was knocked on.

Shen Lusong replied, "I was worried about you, kid. Both the City Lord and Merchant Owner are not easy to mess with."

As the door opened, Shen Xiang and Shen Lusong saw a group of powerful soldiers at the entrance. Of course, the two carriages were the most attention-grabbing.

"What's wrong" asked Shen Lusong with a smile.

The men from the carriages also stepped out. The City Lord was an imposing middle-aged man with a beard, dressed in gleaming golden attire.

The Merchant Owner of Danxiang Medicine Store was a beautiful woman full of curves, wearing a blue dress with white lace covering her face, only exposing her eyes like distant autumn waters. When she saw Shen Xiang and Shen Lusong, her lively eyes sparkled.

"Was it you who injured my son" Hu Gaoyun glanced at Shen Xiang and asked.

Shen Xiang replied confidently, "Yes!" He was not afraid despite facing the esteemed figures from the city. Hu Gaoyun was a 8th Order martial artist, and Shen Xiang did not back down; instead, he wanted to challenge her.

A crowd rushed in with anger, pointing at Shen Xiang. They were the guards who were injured by him and still had bandages on them.

"Merchant Owner, that person broke into our Danxiang Medicine Store and injured the manager." A guard said while grimacing.

After Hu Gaoyun's dark laugh, she looked at the Merchant Owner and said, "It is him. Flower, how do you plan to deal with him"

The following words from the Merchant Owner stunned everyone, including Shen Xiang and Shen Lusong.

She said, "Anybody who was involved in attacking this store will be expelled from Danxiang Medicine Store. Although this youth caused trouble at our store, it was because of the mistake made by those from Danxiang Medicine Store. We will forgive him, Flower Moon Yun apologizes to you for this matter, and Danxiang Medicine Store will compensate you for any damage."

The Merchant Owner actually apologized to him! Not only Hu Gaoyun was dumbfounded, but Shen Xiang and Shen Lusong were confused as well. However, their impression of the Merchant Owner was good. She was not like Su Meiyao and was indeed a fair person.

"Although Flower has forgiven you, I won't forgive you. Arrest him, he caused chaos in the city and injured many people; we must severely punish him." Hu Gaoyun would not be swayed like a woman by being easily persuaded.

Flower Moon Yun sighed, "City Lord Hu, these two are alchemists. Are you really going to fight against an alchemist"

Hu Gaoyun was stunned, as were the guards and soldiers. Both an old man and a young one were alchemists! It was known that the identity of an alchemist was highly respected, especially ancient ones who were often pampered in strong families. How could they appear here and dress so poorly

Shen Xiang and Shen Lusong did not say anything. They remained calm from the beginning, showing no fear.

Shen Lusong said, "City Lord Hu, this shop was bought by me many years ago. Your son wanted to buy it from me, but I don't sell my property. He gathered people when I wasn't there and destroyed it. You can check inside."

A guard said, "Old sir, you should be the head of Ling丹 Pavilion in Wuhu City. This young man must belong to the Shen family, who is famous for his talent." Flower Moon Yun smiled faintly, her alluring eyes fixed on Shen Xiang. However, Shen Xiang wasn't swayed by it and made Flower Moon Yun inwardly admire his resolve.

The genius talent of the Shen family, who defeated the young master and elders of Medicine House in Nanwu Country, was none other than Shen Xiang himself! He actually came here to the city and was even accompanied by Ling丹 Pavilion head. The news that she was given as collateral to the Shen family was known beforehand.

"Old sir, I'm no longer Lingdan Pavilion Head. This is just the young man's servant," Shen Lusong smiled, dropping his jaw in shock.

Ling丹 Pavilion was also quite famous in Nanwu Country, becoming someone's servant. If it wasn't for him saying that, others wouldn't believe it.

Hu Gaoyun's eyebrows twitched as alchemists were involved. He didn't want to fight against them, especially over his son who was mediocre in martial arts.

Shen Xiang looked at Hu Gaoyun coldly, saying, "City Lord Hu, your son has disturbed our Shen family's property. If it were anyone else, I would have killed him! You should know that the threat to a family's wealth is very serious!"

Shen Xiang's threatening words made many people shiver. Although the Shen family wasn't a martial arts family in Nanwu Capital, they had been passed down for many years and were rich with a deep foundation.

Hu Gaoyun frowned, his face was filled with anger but he couldn't show it. He had to consider the consequences of opposing the Shen family despite his good relationship with Medicine House, which was based on mutual benefit.

"We leave!" Hu Gaoyun said coldly, leaving the city with anger in his heart.r trade earlier, their relationship became very deep because they might feel that all their secrets were hidden by the other side. Plus, they developed trust after knowing each other.“Can I see the En...
