Forsaken Immortals Chapter 210 - The Disdainful Manager

Chapter 210 - The Disdainful Manager

The manager was aware that this woman had something to discuss with him in private. He was not sure what this woman could produce that would make him interested, but due to her ident.i.ty, he might as well agree to take a look.

In fact, most people a.s.sumed that everything Bai Rouyun had was given to her by Li Moyun. If she wanted something, then he would help her get it, so why had she gone to their Thousand Treasure Pavilion? It seemed rather dubious.

Although countless thoughts were running rampant in the manager's head, his expression did not reveal his chaotic mind.

He politely led Bai Rouyun and her friends into a room meant for appraisal. Here, he sat down and asked a waiter to come and serve some tea.

While he did not have much hope for this transaction, he still went through the motions for the sake of the Eternal Shadow Lord's face.

Bai Rouyun could sense the disdain within this manager's heart. Although he seemed very sensible, her mind was extremely sensitive. Such emotions were easily sensed by her, and she could not help but sneer at this manager.

Initially, he had caused problems for her due to the alchemist who thought he was better than all others, and now he was looking at her with disdain. He was not suitable for such a high position within a business belonging to her Brother Rabbit.

"I need to speak with Xue Jingyu." Bai Rouyun changed her initial intentions and asked directly for the manager to contact her good friend.

The manager's face looked as if he had swallowed a fly. "Madam, while I do respect you for being the wife of the Eternal Shadow Lord, I have to inform you that even your husband is not in a position to order our Young Master around. You should not be too pushy, as you might end up losing much more than you have expected."

There was a vague sense of threat within the words of this manager, and Bai Rouyun was starting to get tired of him. She sent him a glance before she snorted, "Xue Jingyu and I are friends. Stop trying to intimidate me and contact him right away. I have something important to discuss with him."

The manager felt like hitting this woman in her face to wipe away the arrogance that was obvious within her bones. He hated those who used their ident.i.ty to pressure others, and he felt that this woman had allowed for her fame to rush to her head, making her haughty.

However, he also wanted to see her fame deflated by his Young Master, and thus he decided to let her have her way.

He stood up and displayed an att.i.tude of wanting to stop her but not having the power to do so. In the end, he led them to his office, where he put the powder into the water fountain, and then waited for the image of Xue Jingyu to appear on the surface.

"What do you want?" the grumpy voice of Xue Jingyu could be heard, as his face was displayed on the water. The manager felt elated to see his annoyance, and he instantly began telling of this arrogant woman.

"Young Master, I did not wish to disturb you, but this young woman arrogantly appeared in our Thousand Treasure Pavilion. She was haughty and stubborn and requested to contact you. I tried to persuade her not to do so, but she refused to listen. She was even claiming to be your friend, and I was unable to stop her, as her ident.i.ty is somewhat special."

Xue Jingyu was listening while frowning. He had no actual memory of this particular manager, and he was losing his patience when he suddenly noticed the face that was in the background.

"Bai Rouyun!" As his voice sounded with some surprise, the manager instantly turned silent. Xue Jingyu dared not call her Sister Fox, as he knew that others might be able to deduce her ident.i.ty from this nickname.

The manager was shocked upon hearing that the Young Master knew her ident.i.ty, but upon thinking about it, he realized that Li Moyun and Xue Jingyu had a decent relationship. It made sense that they had been introduced.

"She was the one who wanted to contact me?" Xue Jingyu asked the manager with a frown on his face.

Although the manager had not said anything terrible directly, every word he had said had sentenced Bai Rouyun into the category of arrogant, willful, spoiled, and haughty.

"She is." The manager was still unsure of the Young Master's att.i.tude towards this young woman, so he answered in a neutral voice.

"What do you need my help for?" Xue Jingyu asked curiously. He knew that Bai Rouyun would turn to Li Moyun if she needed something, so for her to turn to him meant that she genuinely required his help.

"I have some pills with me. I wish to exchange them with someone for a specific treasure. The pills I have were all created after an ancient formula, and they contain no impurities. I have normal healing pills, such as the Returning Spring Pills, and more useful pills during combat, such as Qi Returning Pills. Finally, I have a decent quant.i.ty of Marrow-Cleansing Pills."

The Marrow-Cleansing Pills were already priceless, but the others were also precious. While the Marrow-Cleansing Pills were very useful for the Elders who wished to help their juniors, or for experts that had not gone too far into cultivation yet, the Returning Spring Pills and the Qi Returning Pills were incredibly lucrative for all other experts.

Even though their efficiency would drop as time went by, having these pills would give them a chance to live on. Mostly since they were all without impurities.
