Chapter 1827 - 1827 Well-Versed

1827 Well-Versed

The pageboy’s brows danced around. “Of course! In the entire Peach Blossom Dock, you won’t find more complete and stronger herbs and pills than ours!”

Chu Liuyue believed his words a little.

When she came to this place a few years ago, she had indeed been to a few herbal shops. However, they couldn’t compare to this one.

I wonder who is the boss behind the scenes who can have such great power.

Over here at Peach Blossom Dock, although the Heaven and Earth Force was rich, there weren’t many precious treasures.

!!

There was a large market for good herbs and pills here, but it was hard to do it.

On the one hand, one required the connections to obtain such things. On the other hand, one needed sufficient capabilities to ensure that these items could be delivered safely and sold successfully.

In the past, there were many bandits in Peach Blossom Dock, and robberies always happened. Unless one’s fist was strong enough, they wouldn’t be able to establish a foothold here.

Chu Liuyue was rather curious about this boss.

“Are all these herbs produced in Peach Blossom Dock?” Rong Xiu suddenly asked from the side.

The pageboy nodded. “Yeah! Besides, they’re all treasures from Clear Water Cliff! They’re the best here!”

“Clear Water Cliff?” Chu Liuyue found it strange. I know of this place, but it’s just an ordinary cliff and is unassuming in Peach Blossom Dock. Why does it seem like a treasure cove?

Noticing that she was confused, the pageboy explained, “You might not know, but there was a lightning tribulation here in Peach Blossom Dock two years ago, and it coincidentally struck Clear Water Cliff. Clear Water Cliff was split into two, and everyone then realized that there was a small space inside! Countless treasures grow there, and now, Clear Water Cliff has become a hot spot in the entire Peach Blossom Dock!”

Speaking of this, he chuckled. “However, we went there early and gained some benefits, so our store managed to rise!”

There is still a small space in Clear Water Cliff? It contains countless treasures?

Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu looked at each other.

That is rather surprising.

“We haven’t been here in a few years, and we don’t know much about these matters. However, why isn’t there news outside about such a huge matter?” Chu Liuyue asked in a calculated manner.

The pageboy revealed a mysterious expression. “Madam, since you’ve come here before, you should know what kind of place Peach Blossom Dock is, right? Those treasures aren’t even enough for those in Peach Blossom Dock, so who would be willing to tell outsiders?”

Only those who entered Peach Blossom Dock would know about these things.

Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment and agreed.

The people in Peach Blossom Dock would want to seal this news forever and not let outsiders find out. If not, it would arouse even more temptations and fights, which would have no benefits to them.

In the past, there weren’t many treasures in Peach Blossom Dock, so many aristocratic families weren’t willing to come over. But if word got out… it would definitely attract certain people.

At this point, some people walked in.

They were decked in black robes, and their large hats covered half their faces. One could only see their especially pale faces, red lips, and sinister-looking gazes.

There was a strange pattern embroidered above their left chest—two longswords intersected and reflected a blood moon.

The murderous intent was apparent, with an unknown strangeness to it.

A total of four people came, and they were dressed in the exact same clothes.

When the pageboy saw these few people coming in, shock first flashed across his eyes before he put on a passionate smile and hurriedly welcomed them. “Young Masters, why did you have the time to come over today? I failed to welcome you. Do forgive me!”

The man at the front coldly glanced at him. “Of course, I came here to take my things!”

The pageboy seemed to be in a difficult spot. “Sir, this… There are still three days to our agreed deadline. We haven’t prepared the items yet. Why don’t you wait—”

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, the man in black directly whipped out the saber by his waist and pointed it at the pageboy’s shoulder!

The pageboy was stunned and hurriedly dodged, but his thigh was still hit. Fresh blood then flowed straight out.

“This is something that my master wants, and you can’t delay it! Can you prepare it now?” That man in black’s voice was stern and cold.

The few people behind looked like they were about to take action.

The pageboy covered his injuries, and his face paled, but he still said, “…You can take it now, but… It’s missing the Merge Spirit Herb… You also know that this item has always been low in stock. It’s not only our shop; the other stalls won’t have it either…”

The man in black raised his chin. “Then, bring the other things over first! Get your boss to personally deliver that Merge Spirit Herb three days later!”

The pageboy’s face became even paler. “Y-yes!”

Then, the pageboy turned around to the desk and used his unharmed arm to open the door. He took out a Cosmic Ring and respectfully passed it over. “Sirs, i-it’s all here…”

The man at the front immediately went forward and snatched the Cosmic Ring over.

Taking a closer look and confirming that only the Merge Spirit Herb was missing, he put away the Cosmic Ring and glanced at the pageboy warningly. “I’ll let this slide this time. If the same thing happens next month… Be careful of your life!”

Then, the few of them turned to leave.

When they walked out the door, the man at the front specifically glanced toward Chu Liuyue and the rest.

Chu Liuyue clearly felt that the other party’s gaze paused for a few more seconds on herself and Rong Xiu.

Her expression was calm, and she pretended that she didn’t notice the murderous intent emanating from the other party.

Rong Xiu took half a step forward and hugged her waist to block that person’s gaze. “Yue’er, see if there’s anything you want to buy here.”

There was a temporary silence.

The few of them then left.

…

When their figures finally disappeared, the harsh murderous intent became much lighter.

The injured pageboy forced a smile at them. “I’m so sorry about that…”

Chu Liuyue glanced at Thirteen, and the latter went forward to help the pageboy bandage his wound.

The pageboy was stunned and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Young Master. My injury is small; it’ll be fine.”

Then, he took out a pill to consume from the drawer and some bandages. It was a pity that his arm was injured, so he couldn’t handle it with one hand.

“Let me help you,” said Thirteen.

This time, that pageboy couldn’t refuse and softly thanked him.

Thirteen’s technique was very well-practiced. In no time, the pageboy’s wound was handled.

Then, Thirteen instinctively returned to his position and stood obediently.

Chu Liuyue glanced at him in admiration and praised, “I didn’t expect you to be so good at this, Thirteen.”

Xiao Ba combed her hair and smiled playfully. “He just learned it over many practices.”
