"Mr. Ye, don't be angry. I think they are just bluffing." A president of the Chamber of Commerce said with a sneer when he saw Ye Fengyun's unhappy expression.
"It's more than just bluffing. In my opinion, it's just a broken jar." A person next to him said disdainfully.
Hearing them say this, Ye Fengyun felt a little relieved. Whether it was Mu Hanyan, Mu Nan, or Qu Shanling, they all had some status and background, so they had to give some face. Even if they couldn't identify those herbs, they couldn't appear gloomy and helpless in front of outsiders.
You have to pretend what you should pretend. You can lose to others, but you can never lose face. It must be like this. Ye Fengyun is also
Knowing that Qu Shanling, Mu Hanyan and the others were just pretending, he sneered in his heart: Reputation cannot be faked, it requires ability. If you can't identify these herbs, it's useless to pretend.
"I wonder how the matter I previously entrusted to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce is going?" Ye Fengyun said coldly.
"What else can they do? They probably haven't even heard of the names of those herbs, so they just give up and eat to their heart's content." A chamber of commerce president said with a forced smile.
"Let's drink while we can. The people from Nanyan Chamber of Commerce are quite open-minded." Someone next to him said sarcastically.
"If I were so embarrassed, I might as well just dig a hole and bury myself. They actually have the nerve to eat and drink like this." Someone else said sanctimoniously.
Hearing their words, the vendors who were gathered outside the door waiting to watch the excitement looked at each other secretly. They didn't need to guess, they knew that the herbs that Ye Fengyun had must be rare treasures that were hard to come by, otherwise they would not be so confident.
It seems that this time Ye Fengyun and the major chambers of commerce are determined to destroy the reputation of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce.
"Sorry to disappoint you." Mu Hanyan smiled indifferently and waved to Che Xiang.
"Mr. Ye, these are the three dragon armor herbs that Senior Wenren wanted. This is the Perilla Fragrance Flower, and this is the Cold Dew Earth Emperor Ginseng... Take a look and see if they are correct?" Che Xiang placed the identified herbs on the table one by one and said to Ye Fengyun.
"I say, you are not just guessing blindly." The president of the Chamber of Commerce standing next to Ye Fengyun laughed.
What a joke! They didn't even recognize these herbs. In the end, they had to ask the old priests who had retired for many years to come out and spend several days together to identify these herbs. How could these people from the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce identify them in just over two hours? Oh, by the way, they also had a big meal during these two hours.
This is not the way to brag.
However, as he smiled, his smile froze on his face.
Beside them, Ye Fengyun and others had the same expression.
Impossible, impossible. Every time Che Xiang read out the name of a herb, he would take out a corresponding herb without any mistake.
All the sarcasm and ridicule were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter a single word. All that was left was shock.
"Well, Master Ye, and all the presidents, these herbs should be identified correctly, right? It's a simple matter, but why did you all sound so difficult earlier? Could it be that you can't identify these herbs yourself, and you think that our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the ability to do so?" Mu Hanyan said with a smile. Her voice was calm, but it was like a slap in the face, harshly slapping Ye Fengyun and the others.
The group of people were sorely touched by Mu Hanyan that their faces turned red and white, and then pale and blue, and they were speechless.
"By the way, Mr. President, you just said you wanted to dig a hole and bury yourself. Do you want me to lend you a hoe?" Mu Hanyan said to the previously sanctimonious president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The man was so ashamed that he really wished there was a hole in the ground so he could jump into it.
"Mr. Ye, although our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce has not been established for a long time, we are not to be bullied. It is enough to do something that will bring humiliation to yourself once. If you do it too often, you may be ruined one day." Mu Hanyan's expression turned cold and she said to Ye Fengyun, which sounded like a reminder, but more like a threat.
Ye Fengyun had repeatedly made things difficult for the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. This time, he even brought the presidents of all the other chambers of commerce to bring trouble to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. Any fool could guess what he was up to. So, she didn't need to be polite to him. With her face already torn like this, what was the point of being polite?
"Let's go." Ye Fengyun never dreamed that this would be the result. Thinking of the previous sarcasm, he felt extremely ashamed. Hearing Mu Hanyan's threat, he didn't even have the mind to refute. With a grim face, he put away the herbs and prepared to leave.
"Wait, there's something wrong with this Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower." When Ye Fengyun put away the last herb, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a happy face.
It seems that the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce made a mistake after all. This Ice Mist Flame Flower was not the one that was chosen after the previous discussions among the priests of the major chambers of commerce.
Although this single mistake was not enough to ruin the reputation of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, it could at least help him regain some face and avoid complete failure.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"The color of the pistil of this Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower doesn't match. This one is the real Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower." Ye Fengyun said as he picked up another herb that looked almost identical but had a slightly different ice mist color.
"Don't you notice that the color of the icy mist on that one doesn't quite match?" Mu Hanyan asked. Han Jinglun had previously been torn between the two herbs, and the auspicious beast ultimately made the choice.
"Although there are some inconsistencies, the major chambers of commerce invited their old priests who had retired for many years to discuss it for a few days. Finally, they confirmed that this one is the real Ice Mist Flame Heart Flower. There is absolutely no mistake. If you don't believe it, you can ask them." Ye Fengyun now only wanted to save the last bit of face, and did not think too much about it. While speaking, he looked at the people around him complacently.
However, all I saw were helpless smiles on their faces: My little ancestor, why did you tell this story? Wouldn’t it give people something to talk about?
"Hahahaha, no wonder you are so sure that our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce can't identify these herbs. It turns out that you really have no vision. You invited out all the old guys who have retired from major chambers of commerce for many years." Mu Nan was stunned at first, then laughed out loud.
"What did you say before? The most important thing in running a chamber of commerce is eyesight. If you can't even identify a few herbs, how can you face people? If you don't have good eyesight when buying and selling large quantities, who knows how many lives will be lost. Tsk tsk, you have the nerve to say that. If I were you, I would just spit and drown myself." Qu Shanling's two disciples were sharp-tongued to begin with, and now that they found an opportunity, it would be strange if they didn't retaliate one by one.
