Chapter 86: Meeting Again

The man who was beaten covered his numb cheek and explained, “We really tried our best. Those two brats were so slippery that they disappeared the moment they left our arena.”

“That’s right, Manager Feng. There’s nothing we can do.”

Manager Feng was furious. A fierce glint appeared in his shrewd eyes. “You’re still making excuses? Men, drag these useless things out and feed them to the dogs.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few burly men immediately came in and picked them up.

“Manager Feng, please spare us. Please give us another chance…” The three of them begged for mercy, but before they could finish their words, they were gagged and dragged out.

Soon there were terrified screams from outside.

Manager Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He suddenly sneered. “I don’t believe that kid can disappear just like that.”

At this moment, an enchanting woman walked in, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over. “He’s just a brat who hasn’t even hit puberty. Why are you so angry? Even without him, you can just find someone else.”

“It’s all because Master is pressuring me to find him. A rare premium product came by, but it slipped away from our hands several times.” Thinking of something, Manager Feng asked, “How’s the matter with Sixth Brother?”

“That little girl is about to die of illness. That kid is only able to earn money from our arena now. I reckon he won’t be able to hold on much longer. At that time, Master will give him a little more money. Perhaps he will be grateful enough to hand over the item.” After saying that, the enchanting woman chuckled.

Manager Feng smiled in satisfaction and pulled her into his arms. He instructed, “Get someone to pay attention, don’t kill him by accident. Also, keep a close eye on the kid. That thing is something that Master specifically asked for. There can’t be any mistakes.”

Shen Yijia walked around and stuffed the carriage full before asking Bruiser to drive the carriage to the only pharmacy in town. She walked in alone.

She thought that she could buy whatever she wanted with money, but she did not expect that there was no stock in the medicine shop at all. There were two ginsengs, but it was obvious that they were not of high quality. She asked for the price of two ginsengs, which was 30 taels of silver. There was no lingzhi.

What Shen Yijia did not know was that in a poor place like Qingping Town, ordinary people could not afford these things.

Even if there were high quality goods, those would be sent directly to the rich families in town. The pharmacy would only have one or two bottles in case of an emergency.

Shen Yijia had no choice but to spend 30 taels of silver. She was about to leave when she reached the door.

She was knocked over by someone.

Shen Yijia’s gaze froze. She recognized the young man with the surname Lin she had just seen in the arena.

It was not that Shen Yijia had a good memory. The young man had not even changed his clothes and was covered in injuries. It was difficult for her not to recognize him.

“Why are you here again? Go, go, go. Everyone says that there’s no hope for your sister. If you have money, you might as well buy a better coffin for her.” Before the youth could enter, the apprentice at the door stopped him with a broom.

“I have money.” The young man clenched his fists, too stubborn to leave.

The apprentice rolled his eyes impatiently and sneered. “You have money? What can you do with that little money?”

The young man did not seem to hear him. He only repeated, “I have money. Get me the medicine.”

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? I already said that your sister is hopeless. Hurry up and leave. Don’t block our shop’s business. What bad luck.” As the apprentice spoke, he raised his broom to hit him.

Shen Yijia frowned and grabbed the broom. “Isn’t your pharmacy open for business? He said that he has money.”
