Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 100 – Medicine Gate Incident

"What do you take me for? Are you pushing me to a dead end? You should know who my brother is, don't go too far!" Wei Lanqian said coldly.

"It was clearly Senior Sister who came to me willingly. How did it become me forcing you?" Ghost Guest said with a smile, propping his chin and observing her from head to toe, then shaking his head, "Though you're beautiful, you're still a bit lacking compared to Senior Sister Han."

"You've insulted me time and again. Do you really think I'm made of clay?" Wei Lanqian's eyes were filled with anger.

"Don't be mad, Senior Sister. I'm just joking with you. It's rare for Senior Sister to visit, how could I refuse?" Ghost Guest took out a porcelain bottle from his robe and placed it in front of Wei Lanqian, "I've recently had some insights in pill refining and managed to make a Yang-Extracting Pill. Please accept it with a smile, Senior Sister. If you're willing to take it, we can discuss anything."

Wei Lanqian could no longer maintain her facade. She glared at Ghost Guest with eyes as sharp as blades, put on her clothes, and slammed the door as she left.

Shortly after, Amanda Han pushed the door open and entered, pulling Ghost Guest's wrist. After feeling his pulse, she teased, "Your heartbeat is steady, and you're not flustered. As expected of the one I admire."

Ghost Guest laughed, "I thought Senior Sister would watch the show with me."

"There's nothing to see, just disgust," Amanda said blandly, sitting beside Ghost Guest and leaning her head on his shoulder, "Let me lean on you for a while."

"Okay." Ghost Guest nodded slightly.

Amanda suddenly burst into tears, the humiliation that had weighed on her heart for years finally dissipating, and she gradually sobbed uncontrollably.

"Thank you..."

"I promised Senior Sister, of course, I must fulfill it."

"Hug me, hold me tighter, don't refuse this time, I'm cold."

"Alright."

...

The next day, in the accounting building.

Before the time for settling accounts arrived, many stewards from the Medicine Gate had already come here to wait. No one spoke, all kept their heads down, and when their eyes occasionally met, they could only see helplessness in each other's eyes.

When Ghost Guest and Amanda Han entered, all the stewards stood up, their expressions varied.

Those who were willing to lower prices out of their own pockets for business had already secretly collaborated with Amanda Han.

As for those who sided with Wei Lanqian, knowing today's outcome, their faces were ashen.

Losing their steward positions meant not only a reduction in the Spirit Stones they received monthly but also that those they had offended might seek revenge in the future.

Several cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refinement suddenly rushed at Ghost Guest, attacking him without warning. Judging by their determined expressions, they were clearly resolved to exchange their lives for his.

Wei Lanqian, sitting in the main seat, had a cold glint in her eyes. Since negotiations failed, she decided to overturn the table.

Ghost Guest remained motionless, and Amanda Han beside him did not react either.

Just as they were about to touch Ghost Guest, a wave of energy swept through, knocking them all back.

Wei Lanqian frowned, having arranged for someone to keep an eye on Tang Feng to prevent him from protecting Ghost Guest again. Tang Feng was currently in the Law Enforcement Hall, so who had intervened?

Everyone looked towards the source of the energy wave and saw Xiao Shenghe standing at the door, exuding the aura of the tenth level of Qi Refinement. They immediately stood up and saluted.

"Greetings, Gate Master!"

"When did the Medicine Gate become a place for slaughter?" Xiao Shenghe coldly glanced at the cultivators, then walked straight to the main seat. Li Qing and Wei Lanqian quickly stood up to make way, "Since everyone is here, let's not go to the council hall. Settle this month's accounts first, I'll preside."

The stewards wore worried expressions, bracing themselves as they brought their account books forward for Xiao Shenghe to review.

After reading, Xiao Shenghe snorted coldly, scaring everyone, "I just closed my door for a while, and you managed to incur such losses? If I closed for a few more months, the Medicine Gate would be ruined in your hands!"

Everyone looked at Ghost Guest, the instigator, but he remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Shenghe did not look towards Ghost Guest, only saying in a deep voice, "The Medicine Gate has its rules. Those who owe Spirit Stones must pay, and those who deserve punishment will be punished."

Those who followed the price cuts had to swallow the loss and pay out of their own pockets. Even if they didn't have enough Spirit Stones, Xiao Shenghe did not blame them and allowed delayed payments.

Those who could become stewards were not fools. From today's events, they sensed a change. After today, Fragrance Beauty Tower likely wouldn't lower prices again, and business could return to normal.

Although they had suffered losses over the past three months, as long as they retained their positions, they could eventually recover.

As for those who insisted on not lowering prices, they were all stripped of their steward positions by Xiao Shenghe and demoted to ordinary disciples of the Medicine Gate.

After handling everything, Xiao Shenghe coughed, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"With Li Qing and Lanqian promoted to Deputy Gate Masters, there are two vacant protector positions. I propose Ghost Guest and Amanda Han to fill them. Does anyone object?"

All six protectors remained silent. Four were loyal to Xiao Shenghe, and the remaining two, even if loyal to Wei Lanqian, dared not speak up now.

With all protectors in agreement, Li Qing and Wei Lanqian's objections were futile. After last night's events, both wisely chose to remain silent.

Xiao Shenghe, satisfied, glanced at everyone and announced loudly, "Next, I declare another rule. From now on, the council hall of the Medicine Gate is abolished. The Gate Master can decide everything with a single word. Does anyone object?"

The crowd remained silent. Given the situation, with the newly appointed protectors Ghost Guest and Amanda Han, along with the four protectors loyal to Xiao Shenghe, opposition was futile.

Convincing protectors and deputy gate masters to agree to have their power reduced was a fantasy, yet Xiao Shenghe had accomplished it, abolishing the Medicine Gate's long-standing rules, leaving no constraints.

Ghost Guest suddenly stood up, solemnly clasping his fists in salute.

"The Gate Master is wise!"

Everyone quickly stood up, following suit.

"The Gate Master is wise."

Li Qing and Wei Lanqian were pale. They had intended to find an opportunity to fill the vacant protector positions with their own people. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shenghe, upon exiting seclusion, directly promoted Ghost Guest and Amanda Han, giving them no chance to maneuver.

Moreover, with the stewards being removed, the power Wei Changkong had left for Wei Lanqian was uprooted, leaving no further constraints on Xiao Shenghe.

Seeing the situation settled, the two had no choice but to salute, reluctantly joining the chorus.
