Chapter 81 Self-proclaimed "Righteous Man"

"No need. I am very satisfied with my master and have no intention of switching to someone else's school."

Liu Qingqing spoke with an indifferent expression, her eyes seemed to be frozen with ten-thousand-year-old ice, the kind that could freeze people with just one glance.

Hearing Liu Qingqing say this, Mi Kun couldn't help laughing again. Hey, this old witch actually wanted to snatch his apprentice, without even considering whether she was qualified enough?

Mo Yao's face darkened when he saw this girl was so disrespectful. He had been trying to help her out with good intentions, but she had rejected him without even saying a word. What a disrespect to her!

Liu Qingqing saw the woman in front of her frown, still a little puzzled. "You're making things difficult for my master in front of me, and you think you're right? I just refused directly and didn't say anything serious, and you can't stand it?"

It can only be said that these pharmacists have been used to being praised, and suddenly Liu Qingqing came and did not give them face, so they thought Liu Qingqing was so arrogant. In fact, it was just that she had been in a high position for too long and had not spoken to others normally.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you speak to my master like that!"

The girl behind the woman was also furious when she saw Liu Qingqing being so rude. They were master and disciple, and she was slapping herself in the face in disguise by bullying her master.

"My master is a renowned pharmacist in the alliance. What are your status as master and disciple? These low-ranking people are taking advantage of my master's good temper and want to step on her."

Mi Kun almost laughed out loud when he heard this. For so many years, he'd been obsessed with food and didn't care much about fame. Most people in the alliance hated him and kept it a secret. That was why he wasn't famous, but that didn't mean a young girl could just take advantage of him.

"Mo Yao, you should take charge of your apprentice. He's so outspoken. Aren't you afraid that he'll offend someone when he goes out and end up with nothing left of his body?"

These words were quite rude, and implicitly implied that her apprentice was cursed to death! But Mo Yao couldn't talk back. After all, Mi Kun was not an ordinary pharmacist. When it came to potion making, Mi Kun was much better than herself.

This is also the reason why Mi Kun can be so arrogant. Although he has a sharp tongue, he is very capable! He doesn't like fame, but those at the top are happy to ask him for help. The connections he holds are not something that ordinary people can afford to offend.

"Heh, Yao Lao, why are you still arguing with a young person? She's young and naive, why are you so stingy?"

Mo Yao wanted to dismiss the matter by saying that he was young and ignorant, but the man next to him also echoed:

"That's right, as a pharmacist, why would you bother with a young man? That's really mean!"

After a few vague words, as if trying to change the subject, the girl who had argued back seemed to have realized something from the two pharmacists' behavior. Her face turned pale, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she secretly wanted to hide behind Mo Yao.

"Who are you? You think you can get away with just a few words here, and who are you to challenge my master here?"

Liu Qingqing gave the girl a glare and she trembled even more violently. Her face turned pale and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked extremely pitiful.

Humans can't help but sympathize with the weak, and naturally the people around them are no different. Just now, they naturally couldn't interrupt the Great Pharmacist, nor did they dare to speak up. But this time, when Liu Qingqing spoke up, naturally, some self-proclaimed "righteous people" came to defend the injustice.

"How can you be so aggressive? Can't you see how scared the little girl is?"

"Exactly, don't you know that you should show mercy when you can?"

"I think he's been acting recklessly outside and brought all his bad habits here."

"It's because she has a great pharmacist master. Otherwise, how could she be so arrogant?"

Once one person spoke, the people around him naturally spoke as well. They all looked indignant, as if they had experienced Liu Qingqing's "oppression" themselves. They were all weaklings in the real world, wearing masks and pointing fingers at others.

The girl seemed to feel that someone was backing her up when she saw this, and she felt a little more confident. She straightened her back and snorted coldly in Liu Qingqing's direction, her eyes full of disdain, but she didn't dare look at Mi Kun beside her.

Mi Kun was so angry when he saw everyone around him bullying his apprentice that he wanted to kill them with a bottle of poison mist. Liu Qingqing patted Mi Kun's hand and took another step forward:

"What? You all think I'm vicious and she's pitiful, and I'm being unreasonable?"

Everyone was somewhat puzzled by Liu Qingqing's words, but that did not prevent them from hearing the coldness in Liu Qingqing's voice.

"That's right. As the apprentice of a great pharmacist, you're threatening a little girl here. Aren't you just relying on the fact that you have a powerful backer?"

The man who spoke was a young man, and his face looked like an upright young man. However, it was all an illusion, and Liu Qingqing had no interest in remembering his face.

"Oh, if that's the case then how can she say those things to my master?"

The man paused. He had just arrived and didn't know the whole story. He just couldn't bear to see the little girl frightened like that, and couldn't stand Liu Qingqing's bullying, so he said a few words.

This is also a downside to the identity confidentiality in the Metaverse: anyone can speak freely without being held accountable for their words. Even if they say or do something wrong, they can just change their face and start over.

The man naturally thought so too. He didn't dare to offend the master pharmacist because he was afraid that the master pharmacist would use some means to get him offline. But now, he just said a few words to express his dissatisfaction, and the master pharmacist would not take action against him because of his status.

Even if she got slapped in the face, so what? At worst, she could just try again with a new face. She didn't know her identity anyway.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant and unable to speak, Liu Qingqing sneered again:

"Oh, so you're jumping around in front of me without knowing the whole story. Do you really think I have a good temper?

She insulted my master in public, and I just repeated what she said, and you think I'm being too harsh? Or do you really think you can just change your face and start over here, where your identity is kept secret, so you have no scruples?"

Liu Qingqing walked towards the man step by step. The man was frightened by her aura and wanted to retreat, but he stopped abruptly in order to maintain his face.

Then he saw Liu Qingqing sprinkling a layer of powdery substance on his body, and he thought it was poison and was so scared that his heart trembled, but after a while there was no movement.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Liu Qingqing with disdain:

"Heh, I thought you were using some trick, but is it that the powder didn't work? Little sister, this isn't the place for you to play house. I think you should go back and practice more! With your skills, you still want to come here to compete? You're just daydreaming!"

Liu Qingqing still had an expressionless face, and she looked at the man in front of her as if she was looking down on an ant, her tone full of pity:

"I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood. This powder of mine is not meant to hurt people."

As Liu Qingqing spoke, she played with the medicine bottle in her hand. The white medicine bottle turned over in her hand, and the people around her couldn't help but be attracted by Liu Qingqing's slender white fingers.

"This isn't for hurting people, it's for tracking."

The corners of Liu Qingqing's mouth suddenly curled up a little, as if she was smiling, and it was this smile that made her look even more noble and cool.

"As long as I want, I can track you down no matter where you are. The validity period will be forever, unless you log in with a different account. Unfortunately, each person can only have one Metaverse ID, so I'm not in a hurry. I can handle it slowly."

The reason Yao Lao is not famous is that although he is very powerful, he does not like fame and only loves food. So he had been wandering around various planets and metaworlds looking for food before he met the heroine.

Only the most powerful pharmacists and top people knew his name, but because he was too annoying, the pharmacists did not want to mention him to their apprentices, which led to many people thinking that he was both incompetent and arrogant.
