<h4>Chapter 69 - p In The Face </h4>


    "Someone mentioned my name?" Just as the Manager finished speaking, Wen Sihan’s voice traveled by.


    Wen Sihan was immensely respected in the entire Empire, he was the highest-ranked alchemist amongst all the alchemists who had settled down in the Empire, so everyone wanted to have a good rtionship with him.


    The rumor had it that Wen Sihan had a good rtionship with the Royal Family, but only the ones involved were aware that the only person he had a good rtionship with was Li Moyun.


    Seeing Wen Sihan appearing, the Crown Prince and Princess Xing’s expressions turned rather ugly.


    They wanted to ask Wen Sihan to refine some pills for them, but if he declined, they would lose face as so many daughters and sons of officials, nobles, and generals were present today.


    The Manager was not aware that the rtionship between the Royal Family and Wen Sihan was not good, and he smiled at the alchemist when he saw him.


    "Mister Wen, it is quite simple. The Royal Hunting Feast ising up soon, and all the members of the upper ss in the Richu Empire are preparing to participate. Our Thousand Treasure Pavilion does not have enough pills to provide for everyone.


    "His Highness the Crown Prince and her Highness Princess Xing were looking for some grade one and grade two pills to assist them. They are looking for both those who can raise their cultivation base, but also for those who heal wounds, restore Qi, and so on.


    "I am sure that the pill they need the most is the first and second grade of the Qi Returning Pills."


    Wen Sihan looked at the Crown Prince and Princess Xing and frowned. He could see that while they were embarrassed, they genuinely wanted their pills to be refined by Wen Sihan, but they dared not ask for it, as they knew he would not hesitate to decline.


    While he was a civilian, and they were royals, even their Imperial Father, the Emperor, had to be somewhat polite to Wen Sihan due to his position as the highest-ranked alchemist.


    Snorting, Wen Sihan suddenly saw that Bai Rouyun was present, and while he had nned on troubling the Crown Prince and Princess Xing, he quickly lost interest in them and hurried to Bai Rouyun’s side.


    "Sister-inw! To think that you are here too! Do you need pills? I got so many rank one and two Qi Returning Pills that I made the other day, why don’t you take them? I also have some Spring Healing Pills; they are much more potent than the Blood Clotting Pill that I have.


    "Although the Blood Clotting Pill is good at external wounds, the Spring Healing Pill heals the internal injuries too.


    "Since you are merely at the Acquired Realm, Earth Tier, and Advanced Layer, you can only consume the first-grade pills, but I have faith in you breaking through soon. As soon as you reach the Acquired Realm, Sky Tier, Initiate Layer, you can use the second-grade pills.


    "Since they are so lowly ranked, much lower than my own rank, and since I used a new form, the purity of these pills is close to ny-five percent!


    "Although a few impurities will be left behind, you should be able to get rid of them fairly quickly."


    Many were listening to the conversation, and all of them were shocked, time and time again.


    Bai Rouyun was useless up until recently, but she was now an Acquired Realm, Earth Tier, Advanced Layered cultivator? What kind of sorcery was this?!


    And what shocked them, even more, was that Wen Sihan had such a good rtionship with this woman, he was clearly idolizing her!


    Although he should not be antagonistic towards her, as she was Li Moyun’s princess consort, he should not be so enthusiastic, should he?


    And what had he said? He had made pills with ny-five percent purity, and he was giving them to her? Not even asking for payment, just giving them to her? The faces present were hard to describe.


    They all looked down upon Bai Rouyun, but now this man, whom they all revered, had said that she was a cultivator of decent strength and that she could get all the pills he had refined.


    The eyes of Princess Xing turned crimson with jealousy and anger. Wen Sihan had not even considered her and her brother, and had just given everything free of charge to Bai Rouyun. This was a resounding p on her face; she really felt as if Wen Sihan had lost all respect for the royal family.


    She had only suffered such a loss once before, and that was when the unknown woman came and took the sword away from her, but now she was experiencing another loss in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion again!


    How could she possibly ept this?


    "Mister Wen," she said, her voice was cold, and her lips curled downwards. "My royal brother and I just said that we needed these pills, but instead of considering selling them to us, you have gifted them to this woman, who is but a simple princess consort. She is not even a real princess with blood ties to the royal family.


    "Now I ask you to take those pills back, and sell them to my royal brother and I. What you did was simply showingplete and utter disrespect towards your superiors.


    "While you can be arrogant from time to time, and we understand that your rank is not something we should casually challenge, you also need to ept that you reside within the Richu Empire. You are but a subject of our Royal Family. Now give us those pills!"
