Elder Yu did not reply the shopkeeper. Instead, his intelligent eyes stared deeply at Ling Yu, “Young lady, in the Hundred Herb Hall, it doesn’t matter if you’re a commoner or a courtier, there are no exceptions! If you insist on comparing your higher ranking to us, then the Hundred Herb Hall would not welcome you any longer!”

　　“You…”

　　Ling Yu was angered until her face went pale. Since the Ling family was far more superior these days, she did not expect that a mere physician would dare to talk to her like that! That was going too far!

　　“Fine. You guys better remember this. If I, Ling Yu, do not have my revenge, I swear to never be reborn as a human again! When the time comes, don’t say that I didn’t warn you!”

　　However, after she said that, Elder Yu closed his eyes once more. Even when Ling Yu was stamping with rage, he did not spare her another glance…

　　“Young lady, I’m terribly sorry to have you wait longer. I’ll go fetch the herbs now.”

　　The shopkeeper said shamefully after Ling Yu left.

　　“Shopkeeper, is this the resident physician of Hundred Herb Hall?”

　　Gu Ruoyun’s gaze scanned the place and stopped on Elder Yu. The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile as she asked.

　　“This…” Shopkeeper Zhao was slightly stunned, he carefully peeked at the old man who was closing his eyes to rest his spirit. He saw that the old man did not give any reaction, and continued, “Young lady, this is our senior, Elder Yu. He’s also… our physician.”

　　“Oh,” as Gu Ruoyun stroked her chin, “I see that he’s not very skilled. If not, how can he not fix a simple scar?”

　　“What did you say?”

　　Elder Yu opened his eyes fiercely and snorted, “A simple scar? You make it sound so easy! If it is merely removing the scar, then it is not a difficult thing; but to fix it on the same day, that is impossible. Wound or illness, they all need time to heal.”

　　“If you don’t have the skills then you don’t have it. Why don’t you just admit it?”

　　“Young lady!”

　　Seeing that Elder Yu’s expression was getting darker and darker, Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly interrupted Gu Ruoyun, “Young lady, please say no more. Elder Yu’s skills are the best, even the royal doctors are no match for him.”

　　“Is that so?” Gu Ruoyun snickered. A subtle glint flashed across her clear eyes, “If Elder Yu’s medical skills are that great, I wonder if he’ll be willing to have a match with this junior?”

　　“Alright!”

　　Elder Yu hit the table and jumped to his feet. He stared coldly at Gu Ruoyun, “What kind of match do you have in mind?”

　　“Easy! If I lose, I won’t only apologise but I’ll also recognise your medical skills as the greatest under the heavens. If you lose, then… I want this Hundred Herb Hall to be mine.”

　　Gu Ruoyun waved her cuff and sat down. Her delicate and pretty face wore a confident smile.

　　Elder Yu was stunned for a while. He laughed loudly, “Girl, you have a big mouth. With just one bite and you want this whole Hundred Herb Hall to yourself! You still do not have what it takes to obtain Hundred Herb Hall!”

　　“What?” Gu Ruoyun toyed with her hair, “The great Hundred Herb Hall isn’t brave enough to have a match with a little girl like me? Or are you afraid of losing, Elder Yu?”

　　“Losing? Humph. I, Elder Yu have never known the meaning of losing! The only thing is that this Hundred Herb Hall isn’t mine, I cannot make any decisions. If you truly want to have a match with me, let me decide after talking to the Little Lord.”

　　Truth be told, Gu Ruoyun could guess Elder Yu’s identity based on the shopkeeper’s attitude towards him that he was not an ordinary physician. But no matter how powerful he was in the Hundred Herb Hall, he was at most a supervisor or an elder. Her aim was to get the people behind Hundred Herb Hall.

　　Not to mention since she was new here, she must have a power to back her up!

　　Hundred Herb Hall was undoubtedly the best choice!

　　The most important part was that after she has conquered Hundred Herb Hall, she wouldn’t have to worry about herbs anymore.
