Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 245 - 138: Competing with Backgrounds, Chen Yi Surpasses You_4

However, two months after their arrival, they noticed their daughter's health had significantly improved. Not only was she free of any illness, but she also looked healthier and more radiant than ever before. They had never imagined their daughter could transform into such pure and ethereal beauty, emanating a delicate charm that made her seem more endearing every time they saw her,

Besides, she had been working for Shen Fang in the adjacent shop all this time,

Fearing that their daughter might cause trouble for Chen Yi, they hesitated whether it was indeed good for her to stay in Chen Yi's house...

Seeing their daughter's persistence, they chose not to object, although they couldn't help but worry.

After all, Brother Chen is just a Qi Cultivating Physician. Within the Inner City of Wangyue, it wouldn't be easy for him to protect their increasingly dazzling daughter...

"Bang!"

One day, as Chen Yi was opening his shop for regular business, the front door suddenly kicked open.

A cold, feminine voice filled the air:

"How dare you, Doctor Chen, steal my employee! Who gave you the nerve to mess with me!

Come on, neighbors! Come see!

This new lecher Chen Yi has his eyes on my maid and secretly whisked her to his home to do such dirty things!"

Shen Fang yelled sarcastically, using her mana to call out to the surrounding neighbors while creating a ruckus at Chen Yi's doorstep.

Chen Yi, with a scowl, came out and glared at Shen Fang, retorting in a cold voice:

"Manager Shen, after you beat Emei half to death and threw her out, I was the one who took her in and treated her wounds. She willingly stayed at my place, working as my maid. And that has nothing to do with you, right?"

At this time, it was just sunset and there were not many customers out on the streets. Hearing the loud commotion, the neighbors who were enjoying their afternoon tea gathered around, watching the drama unfold.

"How can it not be relevant! Emei was a maid at my Fabric Robe Shop. How I discipline her is my business. You brutalized her under the pretense of treating her wounds,

Every male cultivator is just the same, do you think I don't know you? From the moment you saw me, you couldn't keep your eyes off my chest, you pervert!

Emei has been with you for two months now. I bet she's not a virgin anymore, right?"

Shen Fang said with sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"I didn't! Brother Chen is a good person, he hasn't touched me!"

From inside the house, a soft girl's voice responded. Liu Emei stepped out bravely to defend Chen Yi.

"You shameless girl! What has this man fed you to have you defending him so fervently? Did you forget the promise you made when you joined my shop? To never rely on a man in this life!

Chen Yi, you better let go of my maid. If not, do you believe me if I say I'll call the Law Enforcement Team to seal your shop?"

"Law Enforcement Team? Sealing my shop? I am a first-tier superior Physician and first-tier superior Alchemist. My shop establishment here with all relevant deeds and business contracts are in order and I pay the spirit taxes to Wangyue City annually.

On what grounds can they seal my shop?"

Chen Yi responded coldly.

"Wow, so he is a first-tier superior alchemist and pharmacist, no wonder Doctor Chen takes excellent care of his youthful appearance, keeping him looking like in his teens despite being almost forty years old!"

"I think that Shen slut is just jealous because her maid found a better employer. Plus Doctor Chen takes better care of himself than her, so she's burning with envy and picking a fight on purpose."

"Yeah, I agree."

The crowd eating melon seeds on the sidelines was buzzing with comments, while they watched Chen Yi's side with great interest.

On hearing Chen Yi was a first-tier superior alchemist and pharmacist, Shen Fang was momentarily taken aback. Damn this kid, she thought, he's not so negligible.

But with so many people watching, she couldn't back down now. Remembering the words of that man, Shen Fang gritted her teeth and carried on:

"On what grounds?! The grounds are that the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce I represent is much bigger than you! Crushing your small shop would be as easy as swatting a fly!"

The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce?

Chen Yi quickly tried to recall information about this particular chamber of commerce in his mind, though there are countless in Wangyue City.

Chen Yi only remembered a few with Pseudo-core cultivators, those in the peak of Foundation Establishment, late-stage, and mid-stage cultivators.

The remaining small shops established by newly Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Qi Cultivating cultivators were countless, all adopting the name of Chamber of Commerce, too many for Chen Yi to remember.

Regarding this Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, Chen Yi quickly scanned his memory twice, but found no impression.

It seemed she really was a pushover.

Chen Yi's voice immediately grew more assertive:

"Oh, so now we're competing over influence, huh?

As someone from Qinglong Island, I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If your Wanfu Chamber of Commerce has a Core Formation Cultivator, I will immediately apologize and pack up to leave. If not, and Manager Shen still wants to fuss, let's settle this at the Qinglong Island office, shall we?"

As he spoke, Chen Yi produced a jade token with a small azure dragon carved on it.

As soon as this jade token was revealed, the entire neighbourhood's dispute came to an abrupt halt.

All the spectators fixated their eyes on the jade token in Chen Yi's hand, their hearts in turmoil.
