I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 934 - 933: The Arrival of the Saintess, Lu Changgen
"Your shop is suspected of selling pills with Pill Toxin, and now it must be sealed off," a few guards from the City Lord Mansion walked into the shop and informed them without any preamble.
"What evidence do you have?" Uncle Fu stepped forward to debate.
"Somebody reported the incident; regardless, we must shut down the shop first," the guard said indifferently.
"We’ll come to a conclusion after the investigation."
Pointing at the pills inside the shop, the guard said, "We need to take all these pills back for testing.
I hope you won’t obstruct us, or else we might have to take you away as well."
"Miss," Uncle Fu looked at Fan Luoyu descending from the second floor, and spoke with some urgency.
"They’re going to shut down our shop."
"They sure act fast," Fan Luoyu chuckled.
"Let them close it, I’ll wait."
"Until the matter is investigated, you can only stay in Immortal City and cannot leave," the guard reminded, looking at Fan Luoyu.
"We’ll have someone keeping watch."
Just as the guards were about to take all the pills away, there was a sudden "boom."
The partially hidden door of Myriad Pill Hall was kicked open with a forceful bang.
Three young men and women walked in from outside.
Xu Zimei looked up and saw that the woman standing in the middle was Ji Ruobing.
The woman on the left had short hair and looked very capable.
The young man on the right was dressed in a silver robe and had a somewhat rogue appearance.
"Get lost," the young man looked at the guards inside the shop and said arrogantly.
"Who are you?" the leader of the guards frowned and asked.
With a "slap," the young man immediately raised his right hand and slapped him across the face.
The guard was stupefied on the spot.
"Have your City Lord come talk to me," the young man tossed a token over, speaking indifferently.
The guard glanced at the token and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
A Core Disciple of Slaying Immortal Sect.
He swallowed hard.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
The Core Disciples of Slaying Immortal Sect were not numerous, but each one was a truly Talented Disciple.
To be a core member at such a young age indicated their extraordinary status.
Even the City Lord would have to show the utmost respect.
"I apologize," the guard hastily said, apologizing.
"Not leaving yet? Should I escort you out?" the young man slightly raised his eyebrow and said.
"Let’s go," the lead guard gestured, and all the guards, not bothering to take the pills, scrambled outside in disarray.
"Miss Fan, we meet again," Ji Ruobing turned her head, smiling at Fan Luoyu.
"Miss Ji, you..." Fan Luoyu was somewhat surprised.
But then it seemed like something flashed through her mind.
"Ji Ruobing, isn’t the Saintess of the Slaying Immortal Sect also called Ji Ruobing?"
When they had introduced themselves before, Ji Ruobing hadn’t concealed her name.
Now that she reappeared, Fan Luoyu finally came to her senses.
"Yes, I am the Saintess of the Slaying Immortal Sect," Ji Ruobing admitted with a smile.
"You don’t have to be so shocked; thanks are due for the care you showed me on the road."
After finishing her words, Ji Ruobing pointed to the two people beside her and laughed, "Let me introduce them, they are my friends from the Slaying Immortal Sect.
Xian Ying and Zhi Hang."
"Hello," Fan Luoyu greeted somewhat dazedly.
The situation had changed so swiftly, she hadn’t quite caught up.
"Are you Xu Zimei?" the young man called Zhi Hang stepped forward and sized him up.
He asked, "How come you’re blind?
Are you the one who defeated Teacher Ji?"
"Luck," Xu Zimei replied.
"Did you pull some kind of trick?" Zhi Hang replied.
"You don’t seem like a master."
"Zhi Hang, don’t stir trouble," Ji Ruobing scolded from beside him.
Then she smiled and said, "Let’s go inside to talk.
Don’t worry, with me here, they won’t do anything to your store."
"Thanks to Miss Ji," Fan Luoyu said from beside them.
"Don’t mention it, let’s not talk about how you’ve helped me before," Ji Ruobing said.
"Lu Changgen is that guy’s man, anything against him is to my advantage."
"Does Miss Ji have any good plans?" Fan Luoyu asked.
"No need for plans," Ji Ruobing smiled and said.
"Just one word: wait. I think they’re definitely more anxious than us.
That guy named Lu Changgen is a madman when taking action.
No brains—impulsively, he might just do something outrageous, and once he does, there will be a flaw, then we’ll have the upper hand."
"So I should just have the Myriad Pill Hall continue business as usual?" Fan Luoyu replied.
"Rest assured, I’ll handle the City Lord Mansion," Ji Ruobing nodded and said.
...
Fan Luoyu and Uncle Fu were busy handling the store’s affairs.
And the young man named Zhi Hang seemed still somewhat dissatisfied.
Looking at Xu Zimei, he said in a low voice, "How about you fight me?
Don’t worry, I just want to test your strength, and even if I win, I won’t tell Sister."
"Wait until you beat Ji Ruobing, then come find me!" Xu Zimei waved his hand and said.
Fan Luoyu left several private rooms in the store for Ji Ruobing and her party.
The shop then began anew with its business.
Since that day, the City Lord Mansion seemed to have calmed down and stopped bothering with the Myriad Pill Hall.
Although the Pills supply was not ample, it was enough to last a while.
The Myriad Pill Hall was located in the heart of one of Immortal City’s main thoroughfares, also the busiest area.
Seven days later, in the morning.
Something seemed slightly different from the usual days on this street.
The usually bustling street was now mysteriously deserted, and the surrounding shops had their doors tightly closed.
A desolate autumn wind blew from a corner of the street.
Stirring up a few fallen leaves, twirling in midair before gently drifting to the ground.
A young man holding a sword walked slowly from a distance, step by step.
Sword Intent enveloped him.
Even the few inside the Myriad Pill Hall could feel the killing intent permeating the air.
"It seems a remarkable person has come," Ji Ruobing said, sitting in the shop, putting down her teacup with a smile.
"This aura, it seems to be that guy," Xian Ying slightly furrowed her brows and said.
"I knew he couldn’t resist," Ji Ruobing replied.
"Let’s go out and see an old friend."
Xu Zimei stood by the window on the third floor, bent down, and washed his face with cold water.
Drying the water off his face, he covered his eyes with a new black cloth strip.
...
The figure of the sword-wielding young man silently stopped in front of the Myriad Pill Hall.
With a casual flick of his sword, without showing any visible force, an invisible flash of Sword Intent burst out.
With a "boom," the building in front of him was split in half, collapsing instantly.
"Lu Changgen," Ji Ruobing’s voice came from the side.
"What brings you here?"
The sword-wielding young man slowly turned around, his eyes fixed on Ji Ruobing as if they couldn’t move.
