Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously

Captain Ma and a group of guards stood still, all looking towards Manager Ma.

To concoct a Poison Pill that harmed people, and even assault customers – such unreasonable and overbearing behavior immediately sparked public outrage.

"Too arrogant! This is the ugly face of the Golden Talisman Sect Store!"

"The shop bullies its customers, simply disregarding us as human beings! Let’s all stop buying Elixirs here from now on!"

"Otherwise, the next Hong Family Master could very well be one of us!"

"To spend money and suffer, even risking death, who would be foolish enough to buy things from the Golden Talisman Sect Store!"

The customers were all talking at once, among them were the water army brought by the Hong Family Master. They mingled in, fiercely stirring up the other customers’ anger.

Manager Ma, seeing the situation nearly out of control, was sweating bullets out of urgency. He was wishing he could slap Master Huang Qingshan to death.

Can’t you see the circumstances? Is now the time for your arrogance and despotism?

Having ignited the crowd’s fury, even if you are the chief Grand Alchemist of the store, no one can save you.

"Honored guests, please calm down! Our Golden Talisman Sect Store has always embraced the customer-first philosophy! We would never bully our customers!"

"I promise all the guests present that the store will provide a satisfactory answer to this matter!"

No matter how capable Manager Ma was, he couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore.

He hurriedly gestured to a confidant, "Bring Manager Qiu here immediately! Tell him there’s big trouble brewing down below!"

At this moment, Master Huang Qingshan was subjected to verbal lynching, with his fragile ego trampled upon.

He then made another move akin to seeking death.

With a face full of rage, he shouted at Manager Ma, "These customers can’t be spoiled, why hesitate? Just take them all down and suppress them with force!"

"After all, our Golden Talisman Sect Store is backed by the Golden Talisman Sect, who would dare to provoke us?"

So audacious, just too audacious.

This did not just incite Hong Family Master’s anger, but set aflame the ire of all customers.

"Good, very good, the Golden Talisman Sect Store has a strong backer, totally disregarding us customers! Someone, immediately invite the Chairman of the Alchemy Master Guild over!" The Hong Family Master was furious to the extreme, with his beard and hair bristling, evil Qi emanating from him.

To ordinary people, the Alchemy Master Guild may not hold much sway.

But for Pill Masters and shops and forces dealing with Elixirs, it has great regulatory power.

It’s like the health bureau, which can regulate hospitals, clinics, and all medical and food industries. If any hospital is not up to standard, it can be directly ordered to suspend business for rectification.

No matter how mighty the Golden Talisman Sect Store is, it still falls under the jurisdiction of the Alchemy Master Guild.

...

Soon, Manager Qiu arrived. Chairman Bao’en of the Alchemy Master Guild also came.

"Chairman Bao, please give us a fair judgment..." The Hong Family Master recounted the whole incident. And he handed over the remaining Golden Talisman Sword Qi Elixir for Chairman Bao to inspect.

Manager Qiu was an exceedingly esteemed figure, usually on equal footing with Chairman Bao.

At this moment, however, he appeared somewhat subdued.

Why? Because he was in the wrong.

"Chairman Bao, could we possibly talk this over inside?" Manager Qiu almost pleaded.

Chairman Bao’en remained silent, just seriously examining and scrutinizing the Elixir in his hand with a stern face.

Chu Feng had been looked after by Manager Qiu, and now could be considered half a man of the Golden Talisman Sect Store. Seeing the store in trouble, he felt it was not right to just stand by and do nothing.

Especially when Manager Qiu no longer spoke up, it became even more imperative for him to step forward and settle this matter for the Golden Talisman Sect Store.

With this in mind, Chu Feng immediately pushed through the crowd and stepped out.

"Grand Master Huang, the elixir you refined has a problem, and that is an irrefutable fact. Just sincerely apologize to the Hong Family Master and compensate him, and this matter will be over,"

Chu Feng said calmly to Master Huang Qingshan.

His words were still considered polite.

Who knew that Huang Qingshan would react like a hedgehog; his expression darkened as he pointed at Chu Feng’s nose and cursed, "Who do you think you are? This is not your place to speak!"

"Get lost from here!"

Huang Qingshan still did not believe that Chu Feng was the Guest Alchemist of the store. He was even more unconvinced of Chu Feng’s impressive Alchemy Dao skills.

He felt Chu Feng wasn’t even worthy of licking his boots, yet he dared to stand out and criticize him.

It was simply ignorant and reckless.

Manager Qiu already had a very poor opinion of Huang Qingshan and considering his many years of contributions to the store, and his alchemy skills being fairly strong, Manager Qiu didn’t act against him even though the situation was terrible and the scene out of control.

But now, Huang Qingshan had the audacity to roar and rage at Chu Feng.

This was unforgivable.

"Huang Qingshan, enough with your seniority act here! Who is he? I’ll tell you personally, he is Chu Feng, the Guest Alchemist of our store. In terms of Alchemy skill, he is only stronger, not weaker than you,"

"Hurry up and apologize to Alchemist Chu!"

Manager Qiu had expended great effort to recruit Chu Feng into the store. If Chu Feng was driven away by that old fool Huang Qingshan, he would have nowhere to cry to.

"Shopkeeper... you, you actually want an elder like me to apologize to this young man?"

"Fine, very well! It seems that the Golden Talisman Sect Store no longer needs me! Favoring the new and discarding the old, then I shall leave!"

"I’d like to see what abilities this young man you recruited at such a great cost has. And when the time comes, don’t come begging on your knees for me to come back!"

Huang Qingshan gritted his teeth, roaring with resentful energy.

Many people shook their heads in succession. Over the years, Grand Master Huang Qingshan’s reputation had grown and he enjoyed many special privileges in the store. His temper had become outrageously inflated, and his arrogance was incredibly excessive.

Huang Qingshan even believed that without him, the Golden Talisman Sect Store would not be able to continue and would go bankrupt.

"Huang Qingshan, if you want to leave, our store will not keep you! Considering the years of service you have contributed to our store, we will clean up this mess you have caused,"

"Also, let me give you one more piece of advice: don’t think too highly of yourself. With you, we’re not more; without you, we’re not less. Suit yourself!"

Manager Qiu was also enraged to the extreme, suppressing his anger as he uttered these harsh words.

Huang Qingshan immediately sneered, flung his sleeves, and threw his clothes to the ground with a fierce toss, along with the Token of Grand Alchemist and other items, all cast onto the floor.

"From today on, I no longer belong to the Golden Talisman Sect Store. With my abilities, there are plenty of powers that want to recruit me. Am I afraid of not finding a good place to go?"

He sneered and walked out.

Chairman Bao had been paying attention to Chu Feng since he appeared.

Learning that Chu Feng had already become a Guest Alchemist of the Golden Talisman Sect Store caught him by surprise.

"Young man, it seems I have underestimated you!" Chairman Bao smiled meaningfully and took the initiative to greet Chu Feng. "You performed excellently at the Alchemy Master Guild, and now, without making a sound, you’ve become the Guest Alchemist of the Golden Talisman Sect Store. Impressive!"

Chu Feng dared not act arrogantly, understanding that one should stay low-key, he still knew the principle.

He bowed to Chairman Bao and said with a wry smile, "I couldn’t refuse their kindness. It was Manager Qiu who held me in high regard and earnestly invited me, so I agreed."

Huang Qingshan, who had just reached the door, nearly toppled over. Showing off, huh? That bastard Chu Feng, truly a master of pretense.
