Chapter 529 Time’s Up
Upon hearing Bai Lan’s words, the President of the Winter Sun Trading House became somewhat curious!
"If Jing Yan is just a nameless Pill Master from Lanqu County, then is President Qing Ru an idiot to pay such a high price to hire a Pill Master of negligible capability to represent her commerce?"
Not only did the President of the Winter Sun Trading House look at Bai Lan with doubt, but the President of the Dragon Soaring Commerce also cast his gaze over. Among the presidents of the five major guilds, the President of Dragon Soaring Commerce had an extraordinary status. So, when the few presidents gathered before, he exchanged pleasantries very casually and had little interest in the Pill Masters representing the other guilds.
However, what Bai Lan said still piqued his interest, prompting him to look this way.
Seeing that even the President of Dragon Soaring Commerce was looking at her, Bai Lan pursed her lips and continued to speak.
"This Jing Yan initially approached my Golden Sparrow Commerce, wanting to represent us!" Bai Lan slowly declared.
He briefly recounted the course of events.
While it was essentially the truth, the way Bai Lan described it made it sound as though Jing Yan was ungrateful and youthful arrogance.
Once the others knew the details, they all showed a sudden realization. Since Bai Lan provided a detailed account, the doubts about Jing Yan’s identity naturally dissipated. Jing Yan indeed was a Pill Master from Lanqu County. Those present, who were guild presidents, were all familiar with Lanqu County.
There are ninety-nine commanderies on Heavenly Origin Continent, and their businesses span the entire continent. Even if it’s a small place like Lanqu County, it would be impossible for them not to know about it.
Realizing that Jing Yan was a Pill Master from Lanqu County, they immediately lost much of their interest. Within Lanqu County, there were no Alchemy Dao families nor had they heard of any powerful Pill Masters.
"President Qing Ru, you might have been deceived," said the President of Black Teeth Commerce in a low voice beside Qing Ru.
