The first 200 lines.
I feel so relieved now that you're back.
I'm telling you, when you were at school,
as soon as I heard you were both at school, I was always so happy.
Every time I go visit your mother's grave, I would tell her that.
After dinner,
let's check your aunt,
your mom?
Ok. We'll go together.
Mother. Your son is back.
The business of medicine requires some actual skills.
The way Xiao family looks now...
They can't even protect their own fleet. They obviously aren't qualified.
What are you talking about? Everyone gets robbed by bandits.
Let him speak.
My Jialie family hasn't been robbed in 10 years.
We hired these 3 great fighters from Cloud Mist Clan.
We made so many great friends.
The merchant fleet of Jialie family is known for the safety.
That's true. There hasn't been any issues in recent years with your fleet.
That's right. Listen to my advice.
Why go through all the trouble to stay in that line of business? You have a large family business.
I can take over your medicine shop's business.
You can sell or rent your shops.
Jialie family will treat you well.
In my opinion, Jialie family should...
just sell your medicine shops to our Xiao Family.
Xiao Family can't even protect their own fleet.
They want to buy other people's shops? Talk about lack of self-awareness?
Why do these bandits rob Xiao Family only?
We haven't looked into it.
Jialie Bi. Don't be so cocky.
You know very well.
Wait till we find out the truth!
Ok, enough.
The medicine business is Xiao's family business.
Even though Xiao Zhan is a loser, he can't let go of the family business.
No matter what, it's because we didn't defend ourselves properly.
Those shop owners and help, we will go visit and compensate them.
We will help them raise their kids,
and pay respect to their parents.
Xiao family will keep our promise.
As for the bandits, we will find a way to solve it.
But our medicine guild won't be able to supply Xiao Family.
Why not?
Who is this?
My name is Yan Xiao.
Who is Yan Xiao?
I thought it's a meeting between Xiao Family and Jialie Family. Why bring in an outsider?
I asked Mr. Yanxiao to be here...
to solve the crisis.
Why? Jialie family is allowed to hire people from Yunlan clan?
Xiao family is not allowed to hire people? So full of crap.
Master Gu Ni. Keep talking.
Why would you stop supplying Xiao family?
This is not my own opinion. It's the opinion of Jiama Empire's medicine association.
If you can't prove you're capable of transporting medicine,
the association will disqualify you as a merchant.
I am announcing the decision on the behalf of the association.
Also, some of the Jialie medicine was in that robbed delivery.
We paid the delivery fee. Should your family compensate us?
I have the money ready. I will go send it to your house.
Ok uncle Xiao. Enough bragging about your money.
We don't need your money.
It's just we invited the Pharmacist Association people to our place tomorrow.
They make bills. They need the ingredients.
How much do you need? Make a list.
Xiao Family will deliver them.
This is the list. We need it by tomorrow morning.
Ok. You have my word.
Mr. Yan Xiao. We always keep our promises.
If we can't get our medicine by then, what do we do?
In Wutan city,
Xiao family have 30 medicine shops. They're all yours.
Really?
That's a deal. Mr Gu Ni. Please be the witness.
We are leaving.
You don't know the business. Why did you promise him?
Can we make it on time?
Young people are so impulsive. It feels good to say it.
Tomorrow if they ask for the shops, do you give the shops to them?
I will check my labor force.
If it doesn't work, I will use my fists.
I just don't know how good they are at fighting.
There will be a fight. Just not now.
Relax. I will gather the medicine myself.
Father. What are you doing?
What's going on?
Slow down.
Why aren't you talking? What's wrong. Such a hurry.
Look for yourself. Xiao family's medicine carts.
Medicine carts?
Here, move out of the way. Be careful!
Go, go, go!
Move!
It has only been two hours. Their medicine already arrived.
Did they fly here?
How come I have no idea?
Impressive. They found good help.
Yan Xiao. I haven't heard of him.
Here, here.
Be careful!
Give me a hand!
Master. Someone from the pharmacist association people is knocking on the door.
Who?
I don't know him. He was wearing a robe of a 3rd grade officer.
3rd grade officer robe?
Hurry. Gather everyone. Open the main door and greet him.
Yes.
Please accept my humble greetings.
I have lived in Wutan City for a long time but haven't heard of your name.
My name is Yan Xiao.
May I ask, Mr. Yan Xiao,
who was your teacher, and what you're doing here?
You don't need to know about my teacher.
I'm here...
to solve the problem for Xiao Family.
I got it.
You are the one Xiao Zhan spent a lot of money on.
We are all pharmacists.
You should stay away from Xiao Family's problem. You can't help us.
Why?
Xiao Family has come to an end.
The family has become an ordinary merchant after Xiao Zhan abolished his fighting aura.
Xiao Zhan thinks so highly of himself.
He doesn't want to build a relationship with the big families.
How could that work?
I heard he messed it up with the Nalan family too.
Without this background, the other families will gang up on him.
If you get involved, you will become an enemy to Cloud Mist Clan.
Become an enemy to Cloud Mist Clan.
What are they?
Mr. Yanxiao. You're about my age,
and you're wearing a 3rd-grade officer robe. Can you show us some skills?
Don't be rude. In our pharmacist business, we respect the grades.
A 3rd grade pharmacist is superior to us.
How could you talk to him like that?
Just now, I saw you were making the Soul Termination Grass.
This is an extremely poisonous kind of herb. But if you use it right,
it can be a great medicine.
It will get rid of bad luck and bugs.
It's just you used the wrong methods to purify it.
Now you burned the grass into useless ashes.
The Soul Termination Grass is very delicate.
If you don't have the Beast Fire, you can use your fighting aura to boil it in the vacuum.
The medicine cannot touch the fire.
That way, the effectiveness of the medicine will be greatly compromised.
Only 10% as effective as the original herb.
Check it out.
When it becomes clear,
you can use it.
This liquid...
can cure any wound, including snake bites.
We are like a frog living in the bottom of the well.
I have only seen it being made by the great masters in Silver City.
I didn't recognize you. Sorry.
This method of purifying is very simple.
If you want to learn, I can teach you.
We are all pharmacists. Don't be so polite.
Thank you so much.
One more thing that I want to ask for your help with.
We will obey your order. Don't mention "help".
Tomorrow, Xiao Family will import a batch of medicine.
I want to ask everyone to go to Xiao family and help them make medicine.
Xiao family has had bad luck for many years.
I want to ask everyone to get rid of the bad luck for Xiao family.
Mr. Yan Xiao, do you have to be on Xiao family's side?
Naturally.
Then, all of Wutan City Pharmacist association...
will obey your order.
Xiao family have our full support.
Where did you go?
I went to the Pharmacist Association.
They will come here and make medicine for us, for the whole day.
Really?
All the profit we make from this batch of medicine will be donated to the family of the dead.
Ok. That's a big relief.
Where did you get your medicine?
To be honest, I have no idea.
My friends won't tell me that.
Where did you get all those well-connected friends?
Relax, father. They are all decent people.
All these years, I haven't contributed anything to the family.
Let me do this so I feel less guilty.
I need to get used to this.
Now there's a tricky thing.
What do you think we should do?
What thing?
Look, we need to stock up. We need someone to guard the carriages.
I am trying to find a young man who knows fighting skills...
in the family book. See who's a good fit.
Father. I think there's something strange to the robbery.
Bandits could've just taken the goods. Why kill all those people?
I think someone is targeting at our family.
No need for anyone else. Xun'er and I can do it.
We guard the same carriage. See who's trying to mess with us.
I have checked those guys' wounds.
The attackers know how to use swords.
Those guys from Cloud Mist use swords too.
Shhh. Now is not the time to fight against Cloud Mist. Pretend you don't know this.
How are they a decent clan? Killing people like this.
