Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Vermilion Bird Avenue.

Since receiving the batch of new medicines sent by Nangong Shengtian and others, Nangong Shou felt as though he had taken a reassuring pill.

He spent his days lounging lazily in a rocking chair at the entrance, swaying his body, with a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other.

Tasting the fresh tea in his cup.

With squinted eyes, Nangong Shou looked at the Treasure Pavilion Pharmacy across the street, his face gleeful at their misfortune: "I wonder how the situation is being handled over there. If the matter is confirmed, the Treasure Pavilion will never see a day of return!"

Nangong Shou hummed a little tune to himself.

Suddenly...

The ground shook, and a series of rapid footsteps was heard.

Nangong Shou was taken aback and frowned, only to see figures converging from both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue.

There were tens of thousands of them.

"Hmm? Could they be coming to smash up the Treasure Pavilion?"

Nangong Shou was startled, eager and anticipatory.

These days...

They had been tormented by the Treasure Pavilion, watching people come and go there, while here, their doorstep was deserted. Today, upon suddenly hearing that trouble had befallen the Treasure Pavilion, Nangong Shou had purposely moved a stool to the entrance to wait.

Just to watch the drama unfold!

However.

These people were not heading to the Treasure Pavilion Pharmacy but were coming straight towards him.

Nangong Shou's heart skipped a beat: "What's going on?"

A servant beside him said instinctively, "Manager, could it be that something really happened at the Treasure Pavilion, so they're all coming here to buy medicine?"

"Hmm?"

Nangong Shou was startled and smiled approvingly, "That's right, it must be as you say. Have someone tidy up inside quickly; looking at this situation, we're very likely to break our previous sales record today!"

The servant hurried away.

Watching the crowd that had already reached him, Nangong Shou greeted them with a smile: "My friends, are you here to buy medicine? Please come inside. Our Nangong Family Pharmacy has been in business for many years, with honesty for the young and the old, unlike those low-priced, inferior medicines!"

However...

The crowd was unmoved, their faces strangely looking at Nangong Shou and the pharmacy behind him.

Nangong Shou was puzzled: "What's happening?"

From within the crowd.

People whispered to each other: "Do you think that rumor is true?"

"They say that it was the deceased young man's family who personally claimed he died after taking medicine from the Nangong Family Pharmacy..."

"Xiao and Yang Ling are on their way here to seek justice for the young man who passed away."

Thud!

Nangong Shou's smile abruptly stiffened, and his eyes showed shock: "What do you mean? Someone died from taking our Nangong Family's medicine? This, wasn't it the Treasure Pavilion's medicine that killed someone? How did it become ours..."

At this moment.

A pathway suddenly cleared in the crowd, and a flatbed cart was slowly pushed out by Ning Luo. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Xiao Yi and others followed closely behind.

Nangong Shou's gaze fell on the body of the young man on the cart, his face drastically changing, his breathing becoming rapid: "A, a serious incident has happened..."

"Are you the manager of this pharmacy?" Yang Ling's gaze was cold as he stared at Nangong Shou.

Nangong Shou had a bitter taste in his mouth but had no choice but to nod: "Indeed, I am, Your Highness Yang Ling. May I know your commands?"

Yang Ling spoke indifferently, "Someone has accused that taking medicine bought from your Nangong Family Pharmacy has led to death. We need to conduct a search inside!"

"This..."

Nangong Shou said with a troubled face, "Your Highness, there will definitely be no issues with our Nangong Family Pharmacy. This must be someone framing us."

```

"Whether there is a problem, let it be clear after investigation!" Yang Ling said.

Nangong Shou's face kept changing, his heart filled with anxiety as he thought about how to respond.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky above.

The person was none other than Nangong Shengtian.

He had just gone to another pharmacy to completely clear out all the medicinal pills, storing them in his Storage Ring. He had not come to Vermilion Bird Avenue Pharmacy first because it had the widest sales, and he had specifically instructed Nangong Shou to stock up on pills in advance.

They were not displayed on the shelves.

That's why he was in no hurry to come over.

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing Nangong Shengtian, Nangong Shou felt as if he had seen a lifesaver and approached him excitedly.

Nangong Shengtian nodded and said, "Leave this to me."

"Yes!"

Nangong Shou breathed a sigh of relief and stood beside Nangong Shengtian.

Nangong Shengtian's icy gaze swept over Xiao Yi, finally settling on Yang Ling as he said with a faint smile, "Your Highness Yang Ling, I didn't know you were coming from afar, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner!"

Yang Ling waved his hand and said indifferently, "Ancestor Nangong, someone has accused the Nangong Family Pharmacy's pills of causing death!"

Feigning shock, Nangong Shengtian said, "Caused death? Your Highness really knows how to joke. The Nangong Family has been in the pill business for so many years, let alone causing death, there hasn't even been a single side effect. This must surely be a frame-up, perhaps the malicious competition of a rival!"

While speaking, his gaze paused on Xiao Yi and Nalan Qianqiu.

His eyes revealed an indescribable meaning.

Nalan Qianqiu said lightly, "Ancestor Nangong, are you pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust?"

Ning Luo said, "When they came to my Treasure Pavilion, we never said anything about malicious competition like this. We cooperated actively with the investigation. But you, Ancestor Nangong, are obstructing us here. Could it be that your Nangong Family Pharmacy actually has a problem?"

Nangong Shengtian snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense, how could there be a problem with my Nangong Family's pharmacy?"

"If there's no problem, then let's perform the examination!" Ning Luo said.

Nangong Shengtian sneered confidently, "If after the examination it is found that we have no issue, what then?"

Nalan Qianqiu said, "If there is no problem, I am willing to apologize formally to you!"

"That's not enough!"

Nangong Shengtian scoffed, his cold gaze landing on Xiao Yi, "If we are proven innocent, I want all of you to kneel down and crawl between my legs to apologize to me!"

Yang Ling frowned and said, "Ancestor Nangong, aren't you going too far?"

Those present are all respectable people.

Apologizing formally is already quite humiliating.

To crawl between legs? To kowtow and apologize?

Nangong Shengtian's provocative gaze looked at Xiao Yi and the others, "Don't you dare?"

Nalan Qianqiu and others all looked towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, and a golden figure flashed through the pharmacy, his lips curling upwards, "What is there to fear? But if it is proven that your Nangong Family has a problem, what then?"

"As you wish!"

Nangong Shengtian was brimming with confidence.

"Deal!"

Xiao Yi looked at Yang Ling, "Your Highness, please!"

Yang Ling nodded and immediately led people towards the interior of the pharmacy.

Nangong Shengtian lowered his voice and turned to Nangong Shou beside him, "The batch of new pills that was distributed to you earlier are all well hidden, right?"

"Uh... Ah?"

Nangong Shou was dumbfounded, "Ancestor, I saw so many people coming just now, I assumed they were all here to buy medicine, so, so I had it all brought out."

"What?"

Nangong Shengtian's face turned rigid and he almost spewed a mouthful of old blood, looking at Nangong Shou with grief and indignation, "I... I... I'm going to be killed by you!"
