The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! - Chapter 120

120 Don’t Come and Join the Fun

Shan Yue shuttled through the crowd in the casino. Many people were inviting her. “Young lady, do you want to come and play?”

She ignored him and walked straight ahead. She went to a small door at the side and knocked skillfully three times. A small window opened on the front door and a head poked out. “What can I do for you?”

“I’m here to buy some medicine.” Shan Yue was familiar with the way. She knew that this was Huang Ruo’s usual method.

Seeing that she was especially experienced, the man knew that she must be an old customer, so he opened the door and let her in.

!!
Inside was a long passageway. Shan Yue walked all the way through this dark passageway and entered a large room. Who would have thought that there was actually another world inside a casino? It was completely different inside.

The interior of the house was filled with the smell of Chinese herbs. The 80-square-meter house was divided into four floors. At the back of each floor was a huge cabinet filled with all kinds of herbs. Shan Yue was very familiar with this place. She walked straight to the front desk and asked, “Huang Ruo, are you there?”

The receptionist was a young man in his twenties. Shan Yue had never seen this face before. He was probably Huang Ruo’s new apprentice.

This apprentice had never seen Shan Yue’s face before, so he subconsciously treated her as a newbie. He asked, “Are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?”

“I’m here to get the medicine. I’ve already made an appointment with Huang Ruo.” With that, Shan Yue handed over a prescription. On it was the medicine she wanted to get today.

The apprentice took the prescription from his hand and looked down. The few medicinal herbs written on it were all expensive. One of them caught his attention. This medicinal herb was very rare.

“Pearl blood. You actually want pearl blood.” The apprentice was a little shocked. “Do you know what these medicines are for?” The apprentice thought that some rich young lady had come to squander money again.

It was no wonder that the apprentice thought so. Shan Yue was dressed expensively and had an outstanding temperament. She did not look like an ordinary girl. She was actually buying such medicine at such a young age and looked so calm. She must have a good family background.

However, no matter how good her family background was, she was still a young lady. How could an apprentice take her seriously? He thought that she was just here to play. Hence, he said casually, “Little girl, to tell you the truth, this medicine is very precious. Many people can’t snatch it even if they want to. Others use it to save their lives.”

“I also use it to save lives. Hurry up and give me the medicine. I’ve already made an appointment with Huang Ruo.” Shan Yue couldn’t be bothered to talk to this apprentice anymore. She was in a hurry to bring the medicine back.

However, how could the apprentice give the medicine to her so easily? Seeing that Shan Yue was a little impatient, he became even more perfunctory and said bluntly, “Young lady, I’ve already told you repeatedly that this medicine can’t be sold casually.”

“Just name your price!”

“Hmph, I’m afraid you can’t afford the price I’m talking about.” The apprentice knew very well how precious this medicine was. He estimated that this rich young lady might not be able to afford it. Even if her family was rich, this money was given by an adult. How could a young lady easily take out so much money?

Shan Yue frowned. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out and asked, “What happened? Did someone come to buy medicine?”

“It’s a little girl,” the apprentice said, turning back to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded and instructed the apprentice, “Do the registration. Elder Huang is not around now.”

“This little girl wants to buy pearl blood,” the apprentice continued to report to the middle-aged man.

Shan Yue looked at the way the two of them spoke and felt that this middle-aged man was a level higher than an apprentice. He was also an unfamiliar face she had never seen before.

“Pearl blood?” The man was a little surprised. He knew this medicine. It was a good medicine that Huang Ruo had spent a lot of effort to gather. Many people couldn’t buy it even if they wanted to.

“That’s right. I don’t know where this rich girl came from to cause trouble. She said something about buying pearl blood. I don’t know if she has the money.” The apprentice’s disdain was obvious. He didn’t even bother to hide it.

“Young lady, I advise you not to come here to join in the fun if you don’t have money. It’s not that we look down on you. This is where adults come. Children shouldn’t mess around.”
