"Who are those guys?" Hao Yu asked. He could tell at a glance that the two Jiang brothers were trying their best to avoid them.
Jiang Li, who was walking in front, replied: "They are just a group of bullies who want to take advantage of our family's chaos to bully us brothers."
"That's enough... You can't talk about family matters like that. Don't you understand the basic principles?" Jiang Wu patted his brother on the back and said that he had no common sense.
What good would it do them to tell a stranger about their problems anyway?
"But don't we call him Brother Hao?" Jiang Li complained in confusion. He didn't understand why his brother reacted so strongly.
Jiang Wu wanted to say something, but before the brothers started to quarrel fiercely because of him, Hao Yu decided it was time to say goodbye to them; but he still had an important question to ask, so he said: "Okay, you two calm down. Anyway, I'm not interested in listening to your family affairs, so let's say goodbye here, but before that, let me ask you one thing."
Seeing that the brothers finally calmed down after hearing his words, he pointed to the bustling town and asked: "Is there a place in Baiyu City that buys monster corpses?"
"Are you planning on selling that horned wolf carcass? I'm not sure what use it has, but if you want to try, you can check out the Alchemy Hall a few streets away. It's a giant pagoda building, so you'll know it when you see it." As Jiang Wu spoke, he pointed in a certain direction with his hand, and then just as he was about to leave, he looked back at him for the last time, "Oh, by the way, if you want to rent a room in Baiyu City, our Jiang family also has an inn near the Alchemy Hall, you can go there and have a look."
Hao Yustood there and watched the two little brats leave in a certain direction, 'It seems that this kid has matured much earlier than his peers in such a world. '
The two Jiang family brothers looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, so he was a little rude to them at the beginning because he didn't want to risk being looked down upon. But now seeing their side, he felt a little sorry for them.
'If I had the power, I would definitely help those two, but at the moment I don't even have a penny on me, so helping them is just a far-fetched thing for me.'
Giving himself a self-awareness and driving away the foolish thoughts in his mind, Hao Yuheaded towards the Alchemy Hall.
[Alchemy hall]
Hao Yu strolled around and stared at the four-story pagoda built just a little distance away from a circle, but all of the surrounding structures paled in contrast, so he walked towards the pagoda and stated, "This must be the Alchemy Palace." His suspicions were confirmed when he discovered a plaque at the top of the pagoda's first floor.
"Welcome to the Alchemy Palace, Young Master."
As Hao Yu entered the pagoda through the large mahogany door, two tall soldiers stood behind, in high spirits to greet him.
Hao Yu, however little taken aback by the swift salutations, nodded at the two guards and made his way forward, taking a big breath, 'Surely being called young master out of nowhere seems startling.'
Walking inside the pagoda he looked around and had to say it looked more luxurious than the outside. There was a small group of people in the front looking around at the small stalls that seemed to be selling herbs, some of the stalls had small white ceramic bottles with their tip covered with red cloth.
Just as Hao Yu was about to walk in that direction to check out the herbs, a woman in a green robe stood in the distance, looked at Hao Yu with interest, and decided to say hello.
"Greetings, young master." She moved quickly and came behind Hao Yu in a few seconds, catching him off guard.
Hao Yu heard a female voice behind him, turned around, and was surprised to see a blonde woman with delicate features and black eyes standing behind him, smiling at him.
The woman's name was Su Mei. After her village was slaughtered by monsters, she was saved by Elder James and since then she has worked in the Alchemy Hall for ten years.
With the help of Elder James's kindness and his little cleverness, she learned a lot about cultivators while working in the alchemy palace.
Just now, looking at this man of the same age as her, she felt that if she accompanied him in the alchemy palace, she should be able to gain something.
However, there was another reason why she felt this way, that is, she noticed that Hao Yu was wearing an earth-rank robe, which even Elder James who had hefty money on him did not dare to wear when going out shopping or strolling, which this guy was doing at the moment.
Hao Yu saw the blonde in front of him, stared at her for a while, then cleared his throat and turned back to ask her: "Miss, what's the matter? Do you need something from me?" He was wondering why such a beautiful person would come to him.
??
Su Mei heard what Hao Yu said, and two question marks appeared on her face, "What is this? Don't I look like someone who can work in this alchemy palace?" She asked herself, feeling a little depressed, but still calmed down, she looked at Hao Yu, and said with a beautiful smile: "Haha, the young master must be joking, because I work in this alchemy palace, so I should ask you this question."
This time it was Hao Yu's turn to be a little depressed. He said something very strange in front of the beautiful woman, "No, I must correct it." He thought, and saw the corners of the woman's mouth twitching slightly. He said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't expect that a beautiful woman like you would be a staff member of the Alchemy Palace. I apologize for my mistake."
Su Mei even began to wonder if the man in front of her was deliberately humiliating her, but after seeing Hao Yu's actions, she couldn't help but be surprised. "Did he really apologize?" She couldn't believe what she had just seen.
Hao Yu saw that the woman was now staring at him blankly. 'Did it not work?' He thought with some worry, he had thought that praising her beauty might make her feel better, but at this moment he didn't know what the woman was thinking.
Should I just leave and go find someone to help me sell the monster's body? This thought flashed through his mind, but before he could react, he heard the woman's voice again.
She blushed slightly when she heard the compliment on her beauty, which was pretty rare to hear. She collected
her thoughts, regained her usual composure, and asked, "Thank you for the compliment, young master. Now that you know I work here, is there anything I can help you with? Or do you want me to find some herbs for you?"
Hao Yu, who originally just wanted to sell the monster corpse and then rest for a day at the inn recommended by
Jiang brats, also followed suit. "Actually, does the Alchemy Hall buy monster carcasses, as I want to sell one or two. But before that, I have one more thing to ask. Can you please stop calling me young master? My name is Hao Yu. You can call me that if you want."
Su Mei was shocked again when she heard this, but since she now knew what kind of person this guy was, she didn't think much about it and said, "Well, Mr. Hao, we do buy monster corpses, but we have certain requirements. But before that, how about I take you to our customer service room?"
