Chapter 687
Jiang Chen finally realized what was wrong . He showed an interesting smile .
He threw Ji Ruxue a glance . She obviously was relieved when the problem
had been solved, and Young Master Xuan had left her a better impression .
By comparison, Jiang Chen wasn't equal to Young Master Xuan at all, since
he didn't really do anything helpful for the situation .
Ji Yinyi looked emotionless . Her response was also cold .
"My sister has brought you here to help us out, but what did you do? Now my
sister owes him a favor," Ji Ruxue said in a low voice .
Young Master Xuan looked towards him, too . Showing an angry face, he said,
"I suppose you are Miss Ji's fiancé? I don't know who you are, but as lucky as
you, how could you allow others to treat Miss Ji like this?"
"Hehe . "
Jiang Chen really wanted to applaud for the sincerity he had showed . Rolling
his eyes, he said, "Did I allow them to treat her like this, or did you allow it?"
"What are you implying?"
"Don't you think it weird that a Celestial Venerable and three Spiritual
Venerables were blackmailing us? Even if I gave them the 10% that they had
asked for, would it be enough for them to split it?"
Jiang Chen said, "This is how you gave yourself away . "
"Anything to do with me? Maybe they are just trying to sell more goods with
less interests . It still will be profitable, won't it?" Young Master Xuan was
smart . He tried to wash his hands of it right away .
However, he wasn't smart enough .
"So, you admitted they were blackmailing us, and you knew about it . However,
you came here pretending you had no idea of what was going on, and you
even put the blame on me . Why are you doing this?" Jiang Chen went on .
Jiang Chen had been digging a pit for him since the very beginning .
Young Master Xuan's plan was almost perfect . Even Jiang Chen wasn't 100%
sure that he was involved in it .
However, Young Master Xuan blew his cool and gave the game away .
"You knew what was going on in the shop?" Ji Yinyi asked him right away .
Young Master Xuan cursed to himself, but he tried to stay calm . He said, "The
inquiry fee is to prevent those who don't mean to buy anything at all from
wasting the shop assistants' time . That's why the Elixir Association has
allowed it!"
Then looking at the shop manager, he said, "Why did you charge the inquiry
fee?"
The shop manager had thought he had finished the task, but then he was
struck dumb . Fortunately, he was smart enough to come up with a quick fix .
He said in anger, "Young Master Xuan, I didn't mean to do that, but this guy
defamed Master Tao . He said this furnace was showy but not practical . "
It was easy to tell from Young Master Xuan's look that he was satisfied with
his answer . Turning to look at Ji Yinyi, he said helplessly, "Miss Ji, did he say
that?"
Ji Yinyi and Ji Ruxue nodded .
"It's okay not to buy it, but he shouldn't have left such a comment . It was too
much," Young Master Xuanji said .
"You mean it was just an excuse? Couldn't it be true?" Jiang Chen said .
Young Master Xuan flicked his sleeves, as if he had anticipated Jiang Chen's
reaction . He said proudly, "Master Tao is a class-seven alchemist . He is not
only capable but also experienced . You criticized a furnace designed by him .
Who do you think you are?"
He said the last six words in an extremely low voice . His tone didn't sound
arrogant, but sounded disdainful and scornful .
"Another self-righteous guy," Jiang Chen said helplessly .
"You don't say uncle, do you? What if I invite Master Tao here? Do you dare
repeat what you said in his presence?" Young Master Xuan decided to make it
hot for him .
It was such a trifle thing . The two sisters of the Jis wouldn't like to get an
alchemist involved .
"Hey, don't make the Elixir Association hate me, okay?" Ji Ruxue's
nervousness was even perceivable when she spoke through holy awareness .
"An alchemist should have the courage to question things . If you believe
whatever the authority says, you won't be successful forever . Remember what
I'm telling you . This is your first lesson to be an alchemist . " Jiang Chen looked
towards her seriously .
While he was speaking, the people around him somehow all perceived the
unique energy emitted from him .
