35: Of course the largest pharmacy is the Lu family, could it be me?

When Lu Xuan said that, Liang Cheng's old face flushed, and he didn't refute.

Because he used to say the same thing.

According to his previous thoughts, Cultivating the Dao of Martial Arts was tiring and difficult, so just perfunctorily dealing with it was enough.

However, after the incident two days ago, Liang Cheng's mindset completely changed.

It was that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) from the Huang Family he encountered that night.

That bastard of a Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) dared to attack him! If it weren't for Uncle Chen's intervention, he would have already died!

Finally, Uncle Chen also secretly told him that the opponent was a Bone Refinement Realm Martial Artist, and advised him to swallow his anger.

Only then did Liang Cheng understand.

Strength! In this world, strength is paramount!

"Xuan Ge, I've already requested a leave of absence from Chief Constable, and this time I'm serious."

Seeing the determination on Liang Cheng's face, devoid of his usual cynicism, Lu Xuan stopped teasing him.

"Good!"

"During this time, you can stay at the Lu Family. I happen to have time."

Lu Xuan happened to have time these days because he had just made a Breakthrough in Inner Energy not long ago and had also learned Wind Chasing Step, so he needed a short break.

After some time, Lu Xuan also planned to visit his maternal uncle, who was Liang Cheng's father and a clerk in the county yamen.

Because he wanted to know what possibly supernatural and strange occurrences had happened in various places in Qingyun County.

And what could be more detailed than the cases recorded in the county yamen?

Lu Xuan's maternal uncle was precisely the official in charge of the county prison.

Through his maternal uncle, Lu Xuan should be able to enter the county yamen and examine the cases accumulated over many years.

Just as Liang Cheng and Lu Xuan were discussing matters.

On the other side!

In the county town, two unfamiliar men arrived early this morning.

The two unfamiliar men, one tall and one short, stood together, appearing particularly conspicuous.

The two men seemed unfamiliar with the place, stumbling along until they reached a street.

Then, the two walked directly into a small pharmacy on the street.

As soon as they entered the small pharmacy, they looked around, completely disregarding the feelings of the pharmacy assistant standing nearby.

"Only this much medicinal material, Senior Brother, it seems we've come to the wrong place."

"Junior Brother is right!"

And these two people were precisely the bandits from Black Wind Stronghold, Second Master and Third Master.

The next moment, Third Master turned around without any scruples, then pointed at the pharmacy assistant behind the counter with his finger, speaking arrogantly.

"Hey, you over there, what's the name of your biggest pharmacy here, and where is it?!"

However, what faced him was...

The pharmacy assistant was looking at Third Master with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, as if to say, where did this idiot come from?

Was that even a human thing to say?

Coming into someone else's shop, first belittling it in various ways.

Then asking for information about another shop, what was the difference from trying to wreck the place?

"Hey, what do you mean, kid? Not answering this lord, I think you're tired of living..."

Third Master saw that an ant dared to ignore him, and immediately flew into a rage, about to step forward to teach the other party a lesson, when Second Master quickly stopped him.

Seeing this, the pharmacy assistant no longer remained silent and chose to speak.

Because he was afraid these two would continue to cause trouble here.

"The biggest pharmacy in town is, of course, the Lu Family Pharmacy! What, you mean me?!"

......

In a small alley in the county town, two men stood there whispering, it was Second Master and Third Master after asking for directions.

Across the small alley was a grand-looking pharmacy, with a plaque made of fine sandalwood hanging above its entrance.

And on the plaque were four large characters: Lu Family Pharmacy!

At this moment, the entrance of the Lu Family Pharmacy was bustling with a large number of people coming and going, looking very crowded.

"Junior Brother, pay attention to me. This is the county town, not outside."

"You can't mess around. You'd best control your temper. If we're discovered, both of us might die here."

"That Chief Constable from the county yamen has seen us both. You know best how strong that Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow) is."

"Last time, if Revered Master hadn't intervened, both of us would have already died."

Second Master said with a cold face, because his Junior Brother had almost caused a major incident just now, and he had to warn his Junior Brother in advance.

"Hehe, I understand."

Third Master saw that his Senior Brother was angry and quickly said that he wouldn't act up again.

After all, what his Senior Brother said was very true.

Although he was a ruthless brute, he wasn't an idiot.

When his own life was at stake, he could still control his temper.

"That's good, let's go."

"That Lu Family Pharmacy up ahead is our destination for this trip.

The two of us need to first find a way to infiltrate the Lu Family and inquire about where the Lu Family Pharmacy's storeroom is."

In front of the Lu Family Pharmacy.

After the queue of people thinned out, Second Master and Third Master stepped forward.

Among them, Second Master even adopted a fawning and humble attitude, greeting the Lu Family Pharmacy assistant in front of them.

"This young brother, may I ask if the Lu Family is recruiting housekeepers or guards?"

The Lu Family Pharmacy assistant looked up upon hearing this and saw Second Master's humble face.

Of course, the Lu Family Pharmacy assistant merely glanced at him before immediately standing up and returning the greeting in the same manner.

"Are the two of you Martial Artists who Cultivate the Dao of Martial Arts?"

"Yes, young brother, my brother and I are both Flesh Refinement Realm Martial Artists, and we came from Lanshan County."

"Being new to this esteemed place and unfamiliar with it, we thought of finding a job to settle down."

Second Master quickly recited the pre-fabricated story.

The Lu Family Pharmacy assistant's eyes lit up upon hearing that Second Master and his companion were Flesh Refinement Realm Martial Artists, and he politely said, "Oh, I see."

"You two wait a moment, I'll go and ask our Revered Master."

A moment later, a man dressed in a simple white long robe walked out from behind the pharmacy, accompanied by two young men.

The man was around fifty years old, and he was the owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy, Lu Jiahe!

And the two young men accompanying Lu Jiahe were his two sons.

Lu Jiahe looked at Second Master and Third Master a few times, then said with a smile, "I presume you two are looking for work at the Lu Family Pharmacy."

Upon seeing Lu Jiahe, Second Master immediately realized that the man in front of him was the manager of the Lu Family Pharmacy, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Greetings, Manager. You're right, my brother and I are indeed looking for a position at the Lu Family Pharmacy."

After Second Master finished speaking, he took out some items from his Arms and presented them to Lu Jiahe with both hands.

Those were the forged documents and travel permits he had prepared in advance, used to prove their identities.
