Chapter Fifteen: The Bufang Disturbance
In the early morning, a loud noise shook the entire Bai family violently.
"what happened?!"
Bai Chen who was awakened from the start quickly put on his clothes and walked outside.
As soon as he opened the door, the pungent smell of medicine came down the wind, making him unable to hold his nose.
Staring in shock at the billowing yellow smoke in front of him, a bad thought inexplicably surged into Bai Chen's heart.
Lao Xia...!
Thinking of this, he quickly closed the door and walked towards the direction where the smoke was about to burn.
A courtyard in the southeast corner of Bai's house was already full of people.
Bai Zhixue stood at the front of the crowd with an extremely embarrassed expression on her face.
When she turned her head and saw the figure approaching in a hurry, she hurried forward to meet him.
"Third brother, you are here!"
"En." Responding lightly, Bai Chen passed through the crowd and came to the front.
The sight that caught his eyes made his face darken suddenly, and his eyelids trembled inadvertently.
In the courtyard filled with smoke, the jade slab was blown to pieces, and there were scorched medicinal residues and fragments of the cauldron everywhere, making it a mess.
Xia Daotian, in ragged clothes, was currently unkempt in front of a medicine cauldron, controlling the heat, but the intensity of the flames in the medicine cauldron seemed to be far beyond his control.
"It's going to explode again!"
Bai Zhixue screamed, everyone quickly covered their ears and hid behind the wall.
"boom--!"
With a loud noise, the whole yard exploded again. In the thick smoke, pieces of copper flew out and hit the wall, creating cracks.
In front of the courtyard gate, Bai Chen lightly raised one hand, and a barrier of spiritual light stood in front of him, blocking the flying debris.
"Old... Xia...!"
Bai Chen's voice was extremely low, making Xia Daotian tremble all over in the smoke.
Seeing the young man behind the spiritual light barrier, Xia Daotian ran over quickly, and took out a jade bottle from his bosom. His old face, which was darker than coal, actually smiled a little creepily: "Hey, boss, look, I have already refined Two broken spirit pills!"
"Two..."
His eyes fell on this lunatic who exploded his hair, Bai Chen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Is this the reason why you want so many medicinal materials from my father?"
Hearing this, Xia Daotian scratched his disheveled and smoky hair in embarrassment, and grinned: "Hey, don't say that, after all, this breaking spirit pill is a second-grade pill, and my alchemy technique... you too knew."
"Is this the reason why you have used up so many medicinal materials?" Bai Chen raised his face slightly, his face was tense.
Seeing that he was really angry, Xia Daotian quickly stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand, and then said proudly: "Look, the color of this elixir is no longer the defective elixir you saw before!"
"You've made some progress!" Hearing these words, Bai Chen's face turned slightly better.
He took off the cork of the jade bottle, poured it lightly into his hand, and a round pill fell into his hand.
The color is still dark, without the luster that the elixir should have. The only difference from the remnant elixir is that it is round.
"It's really not a defective product..." Bai Chen lowered his head so that others could not see his face clearly.
"That's right, I just said, with so many medicinal materials, I will definitely be able to refine a complete elixir!"
"What is the difference in potency from bad to low-grade Nima? Do you know how much these medicinal materials are worth, you old man! You are still so proud that you have produced two low-grade pills from tens of catties of medicinal materials. Shameless, you still have to be shameless!"
Under the rage with bloodshot eyes, Bai Chen slammed Xia Daotian's old face with his hands, tearing the skin from his face to the base of his ears.
"It hurts, hurts, hurts!"
Being pulled by him like this, Xia Daotian immediately cried out in pain.
"Third brother, don't be in front of so many people..."
"Shut up, too!"
With a stern shout, Bai Zhixue hurriedly took a small step back, covered her mouth obediently, and dared not persuade her any more.
The current Bai Chen has not only changed his temperament, but also abandoned his humility towards women.
Bai Zhixue even thought that there would be no woman in this world who could make him show her tender side again.
"The big thing is bad, Third Young Master!"
At this time, a servant came in hastily from outside, staggered a few times, and fell into the crowd of people getting out of the way.
Only then did Bai Chen let go of his hand, and Xia Daotian hurriedly backed away, covering his face, distanced himself from the devil.
"Reporting to Third Young Master and Fourth Miss, we were smashed at the cloth shop at the south gate!"
...!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Something happened to the Bai family under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion, so the instigator...
"Dare to shit on Tai Sui's head, no matter how he does it, I will let him eat it back for me! Come with me!"
With an angry roar, Bai Chen rushed out first, and the rest of the Bai family members looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all chased after him.
The south gate of Yancheng is the most prosperous area in Yancheng, and Baijiabufang is the largest store here.
At this moment, the outside of the cloth workshop was already blocked by crowded people, and the battle between the Liu family and the Bai family attracted countless onlookers.
A man in white clothes was stepping on the chest of the shopkeeper of the cloth workshop, crushing it hard, causing the shopkeeper's face to contort in pain.
Behind the man, there are two rows of people dressed in blue and holding swords, they are all members of the Liu family.
"My lord, the fabrics of our cloth shop are all Liuyun spun yarn bought from Sangtian, how could it possibly fade!" The store clerk at the side tried to persuade him.
"Go away!" The man raised his foot and kicked, kicking the guy directly on his back.
There was a look of indifference on the jade-faced and sharp-cheeked face, and the man smiled lightly: "I bought fabrics in your store, and it faded in just one day. What excuses are you still making here!"
"My young master, the material you brought is really not the material of our cloth shop." The boss below him looked around for a week and begged: "Fathers and folks in Yancheng, come out and say something fair, my Bai family! Based in Yancheng for a hundred years, why have you ever deceived you with faded and inferior fabrics?"
Facing his gaze, those people retreated one after another, each of them was terrified, lowered their heads and dared not speak.
They are all ordinary people, how can they offend a big family like the Liu family!
"How about it, no one will stand up to prove it for you?" The man in white pointed to the people around him, then chuckled at the boss under his feet, and then lifted his foot violently again, kicking him to the ground and slipping all the way , smashing the store door to pieces.
"Boss—!" Seeing this, all the guys hurriedly rushed away, helped the boss who was vomiting blood, and then looked at the man fiercely, their eyes full of anger.
"I, Fang Yuanshan, came here from Youzhou all the way, just to tell you, quickly hand over that kid named Bai Chen, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
A teasing voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing an uproar among the surrounding people.
As far as everyone could see, a young man in blue shirt rushed over aggressively with all the members of the Bai family. The anger in the young man's eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
