Chapter 445: 445
“Magistrate Xu . ” Muyan turns to her side, towards Xu Fu who’s dripping with sweat, “Giving my herbs to other people is you, Xu Fu, going back on your word . Or do you mean to say that Ghost City’s promised treatment towards a Shenshu is nothing but a lie?”
“This… this… I…” Xu Fu is completely like a cat on a hot tin roof .
He wants to please Shi Lanling, but he also doesn’t want to offend the newly named Shenshu-daren .
Especially as the knowing and scornful gazes from the other people of the Ghost City come upon him, further making him feel as if he’s sitting on pins and needles .
Shi Lanling merely bursts into a giggling laughter, “Shenshu? There hasn’t been a Shenshu in the Ghost City for three hundred years . Who knows if this sudden appearance is real or fake . If someone shows off a fake Shenshu token to commit fraud, scamming a lot of drug ingredients from the Ghost City, who would be accountable for such a crime?”
“It’s that!” Rui Zhu goes along and says, “The Ghost City’s Shenshu, isn’t it a person of virtue and prestige, and someone who is equal to a Ghost King? But when you say that it’s a mere girl who is less than twenty years old, someone who can’t do alchemy, yet she can obtain a Shenshu token – who would believe that?!”
As soon as these words come out, everyone looks at Muyan with their eyes tinted with suspicion .
Indeed, Muyan is really too young .
Her skin is fairer than snow, features as beautiful as a painting . If she doesn’t have a small child beside her, she would appear like an absolutely beautiful but frail little girl .
How could she possibly have a Shenshu token?
A sliver of a smile finally appears on Shi Lanling’s face . She unhurriedly gets up from her seat, and slowly makes her way before Muyan .
Her voice is gentle, but it has a hint of standoffish disdain, “Miss Jun, you have to know that a lot of these precious herbs can only be utilized in alchemy . You can’t do alchemy at all, so it would only be a needless waste of resources if you take these ingredients with you . Why bother?”
