Chapter 1887 Slap on Face 2
Gu Chaoyan remained unfazed by the situation.
Duan Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
This was because dealing with Piaomiao Pavilion had become increasingly challenging in recent times.
With the opening of the door to enchantment, the world had descended into chaos. Everyone sought the pills to expedite their breakthroughs. Some desired strength, while others aimed to secure their safety amidst the turmoil. The reasons varied, but the demand for pills was universal.
Consequently, pills were scarce everywhere.
Haitian Auction House, being the largest auction house, still possessed a considerable quantity of pills. Yet, even they were facing shortages.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd as for alchemy…
Piaomiao Pavilion was renowned for its exceptional pills and had a high production rate. Thus, their supply was consistently stable.
People associated with Piaomiao Pavilion wielded significant influence. From the current situation, it appeared as though they sought to hold Haitian Auction House hostage.
How could they allow Piaomiao Pavilion to control the Haitian Market? It was nothing more than wishful thinking!
The guards involved were of lower rank and had no understanding of the situation. They merely believed that the auction house required pills and felt threatened by Piaomiao Pavilion's new offerings. They failed to comprehend the gravity of the matter and were reluctant to relinquish the pills. Their actions were driven by the auction house's interests, albeit through misguided means, which resulted in offending the wrong person.
What Duan Feng was doing now…
On one hand, he aimed to establish a favorable relationship with Lady Chaoyan. On the other hand, he sought to demonstrate Haitian Market's authority and make a statement to Piaomiao Pavilion.
As for Gu Chaoyan, she had her own motives for being present.
The guards at Haitian Auction House were well-trained, and it would not be appropriate to impose a severe punishment on the guard for his mistake.
However, Gu Chaoyan presented an alternative solution.
Duan Feng disembarked from the wagon.
He spoke directly, "Since Lady Chaoyan is willing to overlook the matter, you should express your gratitude to Lady Chaoyan and receive 20 lashes as punishment for breaking the auction house rules."
The guard was overjoyed.
He had never anticipated being granted a swift reprieve from his predicament.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChaoyan was a kind-hearted person, and he would treat her well whenever she visited in the future.
Unlike Lady Dier from Piaomiao Pavilion, who was not only spoiled but also constantly made things difficult and issued threats.
When she used the pills as leverage, he had no choice but to offend someone he could afford to offend.
He felt immense displeasure.
It was Elder Miss from Piaomiao Pavilion who had caused the 20 lashes to be delivered.
Additionally, if he had a record of breaking the rules, it would hinder his prospects for achieving something significant in the coming years. The only course of action he could take was to make amends for his mistake.
The guard accepted the punishment willingly.
Gu Chaoyan had no intention of engaging in conversation with someone like Zhao Dier. She stood up with a smile and said, "Now that everything is settled, Hall Chief Duan Feng, I would like to take a stroll around."
"Allow me to accompany you and show you around," Duan Feng said enthusiastically. He also wanted to inquire if she had any new pills.
"No need, Head Duan Feng. I'll simply take a look around. If I have any questions, I won't hesitate to ask," Gu Chaoyan declined the offer.
Zhao Dier stood nearby.
