Gu Tianhe took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. Indeed, there was no special medicinal aura inside.
But Shen Zhao laughed: "My pills are extremely precious. You were injured at the time, so you swallowed them the moment you got them."
"Shen Zhao! Don't you dare make false accusations!"
"I'm making false accusations? You were the one who asked me to buy three pills, but only gave me the money for two!"
"You bastard surnamed Chen, you deserve to die a horrible death! I clearly only bought two pills!"
"What do you mean two is two? Is this some kind of bullying?"
Shen Zhao became more and more agitated as he spoke, even waving his hand and saying, "You rely on your reputation as a member of the Great Xia royal family to swagger around and make a fuss, but you won't even pay for the medicine I painstakingly made. Isn't this bullying an honest person?!"
An honest person?
These words surprised not only Chu Yang and Gu Tianhe, but also Yu Xiyan.
If you're an honest person, it would be more plausible to say that Old Wang's grandson next door has the same surname as me.
Chu Yang trembled with rage: "Shen Zhao! You're a complete scoundrel!"
Then, she pulled over the trembling Ma Jun and asked, "Tell me! How many pills did I buy?"
Ma Jun glanced at Shen Zhao, then lowered his head and whispered, "It seems, probably, there are, three."
Before he could finish speaking, Ding Bu'er was the first to rush forward and kick him to the ground: "Impossible! The Ninth Prince is a nobleman of the Great Xia Dynasty. How could he possibly extort Master Chen's medicine!"
"They only paid for two out of three."
Ma Jun repeated it in a low voice.
Chu Yang was stunned. He never imagined that someone with his 250 IQ would be made a fool of like a monkey.
No, I must prove my innocence.
I really only bought two this time, definitely not three.
Although he often engages in extortion at home as well.
But they did it all secretly, so no one would find out, and those who did were physically eliminated.
The important thing is that I am truly innocent this time.
At this moment, Shen Zhao spoke up: "His Highness the Ninth Prince is a member of the Great Xia royal family, Sect Master Gu is the head of a sect, and I am the executive officer of the Court of Judgment. It is only right that we uphold fairness."
He then walked up to Chu Yang and poked his chest with his finger: "You must prove today that you only took two of my pills!"
"How can you prove it!?"
"Simple! After my pills enter the body, the medicinal effects will dissipate and leave residual cores for seven days. If you really only ate two pills, then there should only be two residual cores in your body now."
Chu Yang was startled upon hearing this and instantly understood Shen Zhao's intention.
So cruel!
Seeing that Chu Yang remained silent, Shen Zhao immediately added, "Of course, if His Highness the Ninth Prince is unwilling, there's nothing I can do. After all, how could you arrogant royals understand the hardships of us medicine buyers?"
Chu Yang was so angry he couldn't speak.
Just then, Ding Bu'er, holding a black iron dagger in both hands, quickly knelt down in front of Chu Yang and said with a pained expression, "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, prove to everyone that you really only bought two, not three. He's trying to extort you!"
"good!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Chu Yang snatched the dagger and, before Gu Tianhe and the others could even cry out, plunged it into their abdomen.
Blood splattered immediately, and the cultivators were all shocked.
Shen Zhao was also shocked, not expecting this guy to actually commit seppuku to prove his innocence. He swore that he was just saying it casually.
However, he had no sympathy whatsoever. He just stared at his abdomen and asked slowly, "Where is the pill? Where is it? The wound is too shallow, I can't see it. Let it be deeper."
"Sizzle!"
Despite the pain, Chu Yang plunged the needle three inches deeper into the body, then slashed to the left, widening the wound further.
"Your Highness, Ninth Prince! Ding Bu'er is convinced!"
Ding Bu'er immediately cried out in surprise, turning away from his face that looked like he was holding back his poop.
Finally, Chu Yang endured the excruciating pain and dug two remaining cores out of his abdomen. With trembling hands, he said to everyone, "See? Just two, just two!"
This thrilling scene shocked everyone, even the Guhe Sect group was dumbfounded.
Is this guy an idiot?
Is this all the Great Xia royal family is capable of?
With that level of intelligence, even a Body Tempering Realm cultivator could probably crush him.
This was the first thought that came to everyone's mind.
"Hahaha, two, two..."
Unaware of anything amiss, Chu Yang continued to try to prove his innocence to everyone.
At this moment, Shen Zhao said, "Hmm, it seems I remembered wrong. You did only buy two pills. I'm sorry, I wronged you."
Upon seeing this, Ding Bu'er immediately said with reddened eyes, "Your Highness, please hold on! I'll go find a doctor to save you right away!"
After saying that, he left the crowd without looking back.
"Pfft~ We've fallen for their trap~"
Upon regaining his senses, Chu Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
"Quickly, get him to the Pharmacist's Hall for treatment! His Highness the Ninth Prince must not be harmed!"
The disciples of the Ancient River Sect hurriedly carried Chu Yang away from the scene.
After he left, Gu Tianhe said again, "Young Master Shen, you have such a vicious mind. But now that His Highness the Ninth Prince has proven that he doesn't owe you money for the medicine, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
"A promise? What promise? What do you want me to fulfill?"
Shen Zhao put on a blank expression and asked in return.
Gu Tianhe's face darkened.
Only then did they realize that Shen Zhao was clearly toying with them!
