No matter how powerful the Dan Palace is, it would not openly challenge the government. Huan Feibai nodded and said, "This man is a director of our Dan Palace. This elder naturally recognizes him."
"Oh?" Ling Xiang was surprised.
"May I ask when did Elder Huan get to know a humble servant of Jishitang? And when did Gong Chou get his director's token? Who issued it to him?"
Huan Feibai flicked his sleeves and said, "You're meddling too much! If you don't have the qualifications to be an alchemist, don't waste your time here!"
Ling Xiang shrugged. "The guy I fired just now came here to falsely accuse me. I have to know who gave him the courage."
"That makes sense." Yuan Zhengqing agreed.
"Anyone from the Dan Palace is under its protection. It's naturally the Dan Palace that gave Director Gong the courage!" Huan Feibai lost his patience. "I'll ask you one last time. You have the qualifications to be an alchemist. If you can't, don't blame me for following the rules and closing your pharmacy!"
Ling Xiang was helpless and took out the alchemist's token: "I dare to open a medicine shop, so I must be qualified as an alchemist."
Huan Feibai glanced at Ling Xiang's junior alchemist token and did not give up: "As far as I know, the elixirs sold in Jishitang are not limited to junior elixirs. Your token is not qualified to sell elixirs above the junior level!"
Ling Xiang slowly put away the token. "I didn't say that I was the only alchemist in Jishitang. It's just that you insisted on checking the alchemist's qualifications, so I acted as a representative to show you."
What Huan Feibai wanted to do was to force out the alchemist behind Jishitang, and of course he would not let Ling Xiang go: "Then please invite the other alchemists from Jishitang as well!"
After confirming that it was Huan Feibai who was causing trouble, Ling Xiang stopped pretending and took out the token given by his master and slowly put it on his belt: "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I said I'll be the representative, and I'm enough."
Seeing that Ling Xiang actually had the honorary president's token, Huan Feibai's pupils trembled: "Impossible! You can't have an honorary president's token! This is fake!"
Ling Xiang kindly took the token off and showed it to Huan Feibai, hoping to dissuade him from thinking: "Here, look carefully! See if it's real or fake."
Elder Huan Feibai didn't care about his image anymore. He snatched Ling Xiang's token and tested it with the secret method of the Dan Palace. The result was self-evident.
He didn't believe it. "This is impossible! There are only two honorary presidents in the Dan Palace! Both are Spiritual Lords! A little girl like you can't possibly qualify as an honorary elder!"
"Now there's a third one." Ling Xiang didn't care about Huan Feibai's feelings. For the first time, he felt that bullying was really satisfying. "Hey, when you meet the Honorary President, don't you guys even bow? Have you lost the rules of the Dan Palace?"
"No, you're lying! Only the president of the Dan Palace is qualified to appoint the honorary president! The president has been away from worldly affairs for many years, it's impossible for him to give the honorary president token to a little girl like you!"
Ling Xiang was tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. "Hey, Elder Huan, the words 'Ling Xiang' are so big on the token. Are you blind and can't you see it? If my eyes don't work, I can help you take it off."
Huan Feibai had no choice but to bow and say, "Greetings, Honorary President!"
Ling Xiang played with the token in his hand: "Elder Huan, tell me, as the honorary president, can I take charge of the affairs of the Dan Palace?"
Huan Feibai felt something was wrong, but he said with a stiff upper lip, "Yes."
"Oh~~" Ling Xiang looked at Gong Chou and smiled slightly, "Gong Chou, tell me, how did you get this director position?"
Gong Chou betrayed Ling Xiang and thought he had found a good resource, but ended up picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. He felt extremely regretful and knelt down to admit his mistake:
"Miss, I was wrong! I shouldn't have been blinded by the benefits offered by Huan Fei for nothing, and I shouldn't have done anything that would let down the Zhenguo Marquisate! Miss, please, for my father's sake, let me go."
"So, what benefits did he give you?"
Without waiting for Gong Chou to reply, Huan Feibai, in order to protect himself, slapped Gong Chou with a palm: "How dare you! A mere director frame the Honorary President! I will clean up the mess for the Dan Palace today!"
Ling Xiang mobilized her spiritual energy, but Yuan Zhengqing was faster than her. With a wave of his hand, he blocked Huan Feibai's attack. "Elder Huan, your president is still here. Is it your turn to clean up the mess? Are you pretending that this government doesn't exist and want to kill people to silence them?"
Ling Xiang: "Gong Chou, Lord Yuan can save you once, but he can't save you every time. Think it through."
Gong Chou knelt before Ling Xiang and explained everything:
"Miss, the people I secretly sold the pills to were actually sent by Huan Feibai. All the pills eventually fell into his hands! You discovered me, and Huan Feibai couldn't buy the pills anymore, so he asked me to sue you and force you to hand over the alchemist behind you! He promised to make me a director and also promised to give me a 10% share of any pills he got in the future."
Ling Xiang didn't quite understand. Judging from the last assessment at the Dan Palace, the Dan Palace was not short of elixirs. As an elder of the Dan Palace, it was impossible for Huan Feibai to be interested in the elixirs of Jishidiang. This was very strange.
"That's a good calculation, Huan Feibai. With such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of indigestion?"
Huan Feibai's plot was exposed, but he remained calm: "Words are not enough. A mere director who dared to slander the elders deserves death!"
Gong Chou had only been eating for a few years, so how could he have the brains to leave evidence in advance? In order to make amends in front of Ling Xiang, he could only swear: "Miss, Gong Chou swears that I didn't lie to you in any way!"
Ling Xiang turned to look at Huan Feibai: "He swore, Huan Feibai, do you dare to swear?"
Huan Feibai said coldly, "President Ling, although you are the honorary president, you are just an honorary president and have no right to dispose of the elders of the Dan Palace."
"Then do I have the right to deal with you?" Helian Xiao noticed that Ling Xiang had entered the Alchemy Hall and teleported over after refining the pill in his hand.
When the supporter came, Ling Xiang came over and said aggrievedly: "Master, I was bullied in your territory, you have to stand up for me."
Helian Xiao was very pleased with Ling Xiang's obedience and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my dear disciple, no one can bully you. Master will take care of it for you."
Huan Feibai never expected that the person he provoked was actually the disciple of the Palace Master. The Palace Master, who had not appeared in public for many years, even came out in person to support his disciple. He collapsed to the ground in an instant.
Helian Xiao only glanced at him lightly, and he confessed everything:
"Palace Master, spare me! I'm not targeting Ling, oh no, Young Master! I'm not targeting the Young Master. Someone offered me a high price to buy the Young Master's elixir. It was her idea to use Gong Hou to sue Jishitang. I was confused for a moment. If I had known that the owner of Jishitang was the Young Master, I wouldn't have dared to target her even if I had a hundred guts!"
Ling Xiang understood. She had said that, how could the elders of the Dan Palace be short of elixirs and even plot against her? She was very curious about who was trying to come after her in a roundabout way. "Who?"
