Chapter 229 - 89: Useless? Not Useless; Monster? Truly Monsterous
"You’re practically robbing people, utterly shameless, even coveting others’ lifesaving money," the beggar trembled with rage, snorting as he shook off Yue Jinghua’s grip with a slap, his palm slicing through the air like a swimming dragon, and struck towards Yue Jinghua’s chest.
As he swung his palm, three residual shadows appeared alongside, indicating he had already mastered the Palm Image technique.
"I, Yue, never take others’ money lightly. As a Pill Master attending a medical examination, receiving the fee is only fair and square," Yue Jinghua spoke carefree with a smile as she stepped out the Small Cloud Trace Steps, perfectly dodging the man’s assault.
"Diagnosis fee? Are you saying you’re also a Pill Master? No, that can’t be. I’ve heard there’s only one Pill Master in Polo City named Lady Yao," the youth expressed his doubts.
"Such an antiquated individual cannot compare to an up-and-coming genius Pill Master like myself. Surely you’ve seen the Alchemy Gourd from Danlu," Yue Jingfeng patted the jade-white, flawless jade gourd hanging on her waist.
She spoke loudly, her voice carrying far, and while speaking, she sneakily glanced in the direction of Qianbin Building.
"It really is an Alchemy Gourd," the skepticism in the young man vanished instantly, "Hey, why didn’t you say you were a Pill Master right away? Keeping quiet like that, how was anyone to know your background? Also, return those five or six hundred copper coins; they were hard-earned by yours truly."
Even begging money could be described as "hard-earned"—this person was indeed remarkable.
Yue Jinghua paid him no heed and went to check on the injured child.
"Stop right there, who gave you permission to conduct an examination on your own," from the restaurant came a group of people, led by a young man about twenty, dressed elegantly.
The young man had a pale face, with eyes that had the whites showing on three sides, a narrow forehead, and a protruding chin, followed by several local profligate sons of influential families.
Upon seeing Yue Jinghua, those people teased in a scornful tone: "Oh, isn’t this Yue Jinghua? A half-baked Pill Master daring to step ahead of Alchemist Chen in saving a life, such shamelessness. Do you know who this is? This is the famous Alchemist Chen Jiangyin. Even Second Young Master Lie from the Lie Family Mansion would have to step aside respectfully upon seeing him."
