Chapter 1962: Pardon me
As soon as he said this, he did not forget to turn his head back towards those few people who were now filled with envy and jealousy. Although he didn’t speak, his facial expression seemed to say, “Look, isn’t my name worth something?”
Leng Hua smiled. After excusing himself and about to step away, those few people stopped him.
“Steward Leng, look. This…” One of them stepped towards him shyly and rubbed his hands. He also wanted this Breakthrough Pill.
Before they started speaking, Leng Hua smiled. “Take your time. Apart from this floor, there are also many good things on the second floor.” He pointed to the entrance of the staircase on the second floor. “With your clans’ strength, you’re qualified to go to the second floor.” As soon as he uttered these words, Leng Hua turned away and gave them no more chance to speak.
“Second floor? By the way, earlier they said the things on the second floor are better, this first floor is just some of the things they listed as common. Why don’t we go up to have a look?” One of them suggested.
“Let’s go up! We won’t lose anything by taking a look upstairs.” Another man also said and walked towards the stairs.
However, at this time, a commotion was heard outside the door, which made them stop their footsteps.
“Look! The Alchemy Guild’s President is here!”
“They’re not going to pick a quarrel, right? Since the Heavenly Pill Tower made such a big wave, won’t they…”
“I don’t suppose so. This is the Alchemy Guild’s President. He’s not the Vice President. It’s still possible if it’s the Vice President. But, be rest assured if it’s the President. He’s a fair and upright man. He won’t resort to petty tricks.”
When he listened to the crowds’ whispers, the Vice President who stood behind the Alchemy Guild President turned red and glanced at those people angrily. Since the President was here, he could not show his anger. Otherwise, he would have humiliated these people!
“Hahaha, the Heavenly Pill Tower opened for business with great fanfare today! We came here specially to congratulate you. I wonder, who is the Master of this building?” The President asked with a smile, his eyes swept over the crowd.
Du Fan and Leng Hua looked at each other, then they came forward at the same time. “The two of us are the stewards of the Heavenly Pill Tower.”
“My surname is Leng.”
“My surname is Du.”
The two introduced themselves briefly. After that, Du Fan stopped speaking but glanced at Leng Hua.
Leng Hua asked gently, “How should I address you?”
“My surname is Fan. I’m the Hundred Rivers City’s Alchemy Guild President. You can call me President Fan.” He smiled. Then, while motioning towards those behind him, he explained, “We’re here to congratulate the master of this building. It’s just a little token to show our respect.”
Leng Hua smiled. “President Fan, please don’t take it too seriously. Our master instructed earlier that the Heavenly Pill Tower only receives guests and does not accept gifts. President Fan might as well take the congratulatory gift back and have a look around our building.”
“Presumptuous!”
The Vice President at the back yelled loudly. He cast an angry look at Leng Hua and shouted, “The President himself came to send a gift and he just wanted to see the master of your building. How dare you refuse so rudely when you are just an insignificant steward?”
In the face of his rebuke, Leng Hua smiled gently and looked at him. “How should I address you?”
“I’m the Alchemy Guild’s Vice President!” He said, sticking out his chest and raising his chin.
“So, you’re the Vice President, pardon me.” Leng Hua said with a smile, then stopped looking at him and asked President Fan instead. “President Fan, would you like to take a look inside at your leisure?”
