‘CHA! YA! CHA!’
The whipping sound accompanied by the noise of the footsteps of horses and chariots pulled behind him, managed to break the market crowd of the capital of the Bei Empire to make the atmosphere become quiet for a while.
‘SWOOOSH!’
The wind from the speeding horse carriage also hit Zhao Jun's face to make him narrow to avoid dust entering his eyes.
And coinciding with that, Zhao Jun finally saw the figure that was behind the window curtain of the horse carriage.
“Y-Ying Fei?”
Even if he only caught a glimpse of it, Zhao Jun was sure he had not mistakenly seen it. The figure of the woman in the luxurious all-white dress inside the horse carriage was Ying Fei!
“That means, the envoy of Nan Empire that was meant earlier was Ying Fei? But where could Ying Fei have come here by herself? On the basis of what—”
Zhao Jun's words instantly came to a halt halfway through when he remembered that Ying Fei was now one of the higher-ups in the Heavenly Medicine Hall.
On the other hand, the Nan Empire and the Bei Empire had only ever had a cooperative relationship in the field of medicine, which was based on Zhao Jun's good relationship with Baili Cheng.
“Then now, Ying Fei came to the Bei Empire with the frills of the 'message of the Nan Empire'. Supposedly, Ying Fei came up with the name of the Heavenly Medicine Hall instead?”
Zhao Jun naturally thought about this deeply.
He had not received any information or updates regarding the Nan Empire from Tian Feng since the last time he gave the pigeon letter a month ago.
And now witnessing this, he was also very curious about what Ying Fei was about to do here. Some guesses appeared in his heart.
“Did he come to meet King Medicine Baili Cheng?”
Both Zhao Jun's eyes narrowed. I want him to go back to the academy. But he had yet to obtain any medicinal ingredients for the Bone and Blood Cleansing Pills.
He obviously could not delay this important matter. Merely, he was also unable to continue guessing what the purpose of Ying Fei coming here was!
“Sial! Why did he have to come today?”
Despite being annoyed, Zhao Jun could do nothing.
He had to prioritize his problems first rather than thinking about the Heavenly Medicine Hall and the entire relationship with Ying Fei.
“I'll ask Princess Baili later. Hopefully he will tell me what really happened there.”
After which, Zhao Jun turned around to approach one of the stalls selling many high-quality medicinal ingredients at quite a cheap price.
After obtaining rare materials that were extremely difficult to obtain in the Nan Empire but so easy to obtain in the Bei Empire, Zhao Jun walked down the merchant stalls to buy food.
“Bakpao, bakpao! Come on, who wants to buy bakpao!”
“Mi boiled! Stewed noodles! Come on who wants to stop by and eat this delicious noodle?”
Zhao Jun's stomach rang loudly after hearing the two sellers from the opposite stall shouting at each other the food they were selling alternately.
“After this, I have to go back to the academy to do some rough work. Maybe eating noodles alone is not enough,” his murmurs consider.
Thus, Zhao Jun stepped his foot towards the bakpao vendor's stall.
“Bos, how much is the price of the bakpa? I want to buy 5 pieces only.”
“Cabin, kemari. One bakpao 5 cents only!”
“Alright!”
From a distance, Wang Li's figure was seen walking hastily as he circulated his two eyes around to search for where Zhao Jun was.
And as soon as Wang Li turned his gaze towards the bakpao vendor's stall, he immediately accelerated his footsteps to approach Zhao Jun who was about to leave from there.
“Huh! You can't run anymore, loser! This time I will make you battered!” he said it was full of hate.
Without further ado, Wang Li who saw the bag containing medicinal ingredients in his left hand and the bag containing bakpao in Zhao Jun's right hand immediately took a swing to attack him!
“HMPH! FEEL THIS KICK OF MINE, SUCK!” w.a.n.g Li exclaimed as he raised his right leg ready to kick Zhao Jun's back and make him fall down!
Hearing this, Zhao Jun furrowed his brows. “This person!”
He glanced slightly before finally shifting his steps aside to dodge, letting Wang Li's kick miss out on the empty air!
“Sial!”
However, he did not give up just like that. He hurriedly turned around while swinging his hand with all his might to hit Zhao Jun.
“HYA!”
Zhao Jun hissed softly and dodged to the side once more while swinging the elbow of his right arm into Wang Li's stomach.
‘BUGH!’
As a result, in addition to failing to hit Zhao Jun, Wang Li also got a pretty harsh backlash from Zhao Jun. In fact, this punch of his managed to make Wang Li stagger backwards, almost falling headlong!
“Argh!”
Wang Li whimpered in pain.
Zhao Jun's right arm's elbow strike just now was too painful. His stomach was like being forcefully torn, making him nauseous and cramp at once.
Zhao Jun who saw this also snorted lightly. “What are you doing, Wang Li?”
Wang Li smiled in anguish. He tried to hold on by hiding the pain in his stomach and stood up straight while looking at Zhao Jun for granted.
“Hmph-deep. Don't you really know why I'm doing all this?”
Zhao Jun screeched. “I have no intention of wasting my time playing guesswork with you here, Wang Li.”
“KAU!!!”
Wang Li growled furiously. He clenched his hands together once more before rushing forward and exclaiming out loud full of emotion.
“I'll beat you up, Xiao Jun! That's enough for the humiliation you gave me from yesterday! I want you to feel the reply!”
Zhao Jun chuckled. “Looks like you don't reflect, Wang Li? Who started all these fights, you know better than me!”
“Stop talking nonsense! Feel my punch this time!”
Seeing the seriousness of Wang Li who was beginning to gather spiritual power in his hands, Zhao Jun did not dare to be reckless.
With high focus, Zhao Jun tightly held the two bags of medicinal ingredients and bakpaos in his hand as he prepared to position the horses.
“HYAAA!!”
Wang Li dashed towards Zhao Jun as fast as lightning with his right hand ready to punch out whenever he wanted to act.
Zhao Jun chose to remain calm while gritting his teeth, ready to make evasive moves and counterattack.
‘BUGH!’
The fight between the two can no longer be avoided.
Zhao Jun tried hard to compensate for Wang Li's every attack by still maintaining the two precious pockets in his hands tightly.
“Sial! It's not easy!”
However, Zhao Jun also did not dare to put it in just any place. He was worried that Wang Li's target this time was these two bags that he was carrying.
Even he was just as dare not leave it to some residents who are now even watching the fight of the two of them, for their safety reasons and fear they will steal it.
After all, Zhao Jun couldn't trust others carelessly right now!
All have bad intentions!
“Xiao Jun! You won't let me go back to the Divine Medicine Palace Academy again!”
Wang Li suddenly exclaimed furiously from across. Both of his eyes shone with a fairly strong killing intent. It seemed, he was not going to let Zhao Jun off so easily this time.
“Enough for all the attention you took from me, Loser!”
“On what basis did you win the rare appreciation of the Medicinal King Baili Cheng that I have never even obtained before?!”
“YOU REALLY AREN'T WORTH IT!”
“BETTER YOU JUST DIE!”
“HYAAAAA!!”
