Chapter 174: Martial Top Scholar Endorsement

Where is the Huichuntang shopkeeper!

Come out quickly, the medicine you're selling has a problem—I suspect it's fake medicine!

Exactly, look what my brother ended up like after eating it—vomiting and diarrhea, his Blood Qi didn't increase, it actually dropped!

Exactly exactly, my brother couldn't even take the delayed martial exam; otherwise this year's Martial Top Scholar would have been his!

Several young men began shouting loudly at Huichuntang's entrance, and soon drew a large crowd of onlookers.

Boss Qin, what do we do? Trouble-makers are outside again!

Inside Huichuntang, a young female shop assistant sprinted over to Qin Ziyi to report the situation.

These people really are relentless........

Qin Ziyi's face darkened; she didn't know which rival had sent these people to cause trouble every day on time.

She had thought she could rely on the effects of her Dan Medicine and her strength to speak, but these people just act like hooligans; if this continues, Huichuntang may be forced to shut down for rectification.

Xiao He, go drive those people away; if you can't, call the police.

Qin Ziyi told the staff, 'I'll go prepare something; it seems I can't resolve this on my own.'

Okay, I'll go try......

Xiao He nodded and walked out of the shop.

Don't cause trouble anymore, or I'll call the police!

Seeing Xiao He about to call the police, the few hooligans weren't scared at all; instead, they became even happier.

A few days ago, someone approached them, paid a hefty sum, and had them cause trouble at Huichuntang's entrance.

The bigger the trouble, the more money they get.

If Xiao He calls the police, this will surely blow up completely.

You!

Xiao He saw that these people were like dead pigs unafraid of boiling water; for a moment he had no way to deal with them.

Oh dear, Huichuntang is really harmful; that so-called True Origin Pill they produce is nothing but poison!

The hooligans started their performance again.

Yeah, everyone, definitely don't buy it—my brother is a victim!

Just then, Qin Ziyi walked out carrying a person‑tall sign.

She set the sign up at the entrance.

You dare put it out? I'll smash one for every one you put up!

A hooligan snarled, reaching out to grab the sign.

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face on the sign.

On the sign it read: Martial Top Scholar Lu Jing, spokesperson for Huichuntang.

Above was a photo of Lu Jing and Qin Ziyi together, both wearing Huichuntang's clothing.

This...... this is impossible!

The hooligan quickly pulled his hand back, his formerly fierce face now filled with shock and panic.

Impossible, how could Huichuntang be connected to the Martial Top Scholar? This picture must be photoshopped!

Qin Ziyi heard this and replied with a disdainful look: 'Photoshopped? Do you believe that coming out of your mouth? Let me tell you the truth: Lu Jing is not only Huichuntang's spokesperson, but also the behind‑the‑scenes boss!'

I......

The hooligan blinked, then came to his senses.

Given the Martial Top Scholar's soaring fame, even if you gave Qin Ziyi eight times the courage, she wouldn't dare misuse his image rights.

Thinking of this, his heart gave a jolt; he grabbed his companion and fled in a flash.

The onlookers surged forward, gathering around the sign to examine it.

That's definitely the Martial Top Scholar—I've seen him on TV.

So Huichuntang is actually opened by the Martial Top Scholar!

Great, a shop opened by the Martial Top Scholar surely has no problems!

From now on I'll buy my Dan Medicine here.

Qin Ziyi never expected Lu Jing's fame to have grown this large; as soon as the sign was put up, the shop instantly bustled with activity.

Word spread from ten to a hundred, and many people came out of curiosity.

Meanwhile.

Lu Jing bundled up tightly and ran out from the rear gate of the residential complex.

Master, please go to Huichuntang on South Rear Street.

Okay!

The taxi driver glanced back at Lu Jing, seeing him wearing sunglasses and a mask, with a hat on his head.

He couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Upon looking, he realized Lu Jing looked somewhat familiar.

However, the driver didn't think much of it and directly started the car.

Lu Jing let out a sigh of relief; this was his first time going out after returning home.

Watching the scenery continually recede outside the window, he wondered whether he should get a driver's license.

That way he could get himself a car, making going out much more convenient, without worrying about being recognized.

Ten minutes later, the taxi pulled over to the side of the road.

Kid, we've arrived!

Thank you.

Lu Jing paid the fare and got out of the car.

To his surprise, Huichuntang not far ahead was packed, with a long line outside the shop.

"What's going on? Is the True Origin Pill that popular?"

Lu Jing curiously walked over.

Just as he tried to cut in line, a shop assistant nearby stopped him.

"Sir, please go to the back and line up!"

Lu Jing waved his hand and whispered, "I'm Lu Jing, I'm not here to buy medicine......"

"No matter who you are, our boss Qin said no cutting in line......"

Xiao He blurted it out without thinking.

Only a second later did she suddenly come to her senses.

"Are you Lu Jing?"

Xiao He's expression instantly turned respectful, and she enthusiastically ushered Lu Jing inside.

"Boss, sorry, I didn't recognize you......"

"It's fine."

Lu Jing smiled and indicated he didn't mind.

Huichuntang pharmacy recently hired many staff, all young, fair-skinned, beautiful girls, with excellent service attitudes, leaving Lu Jing very satisfied.

"Is Qin Ziyi here?"

Lu Jing inquired.

"Yes, Boss Qin is busy in the back."

"Hmm, you keep attending to the customers; I'll go over myself."

Lu Jing nodded and headed toward the back.

As soon as Lu Jing walked away, the few female shop assistants in the store gathered around Xiao He, chattering away.

"Xiao He, was that just now Lu Jing?"

"Wow, I'm so jealous you got to talk to the Martial Top Scholar!"

Xiao He replied somewhat speechlessly: "What's there to be jealous about? You don't know—talking to Boss Lu feels suffocating; his aura is too terrifying. In his presence, I feel like I'm naked."

"Nonsense, he's the Martial Top Scholar—powerful people naturally have an aura; it's totally normal!"

A newly hired shop assistant exclaimed with admiration: "I came here just to get close to Boss Lu; if he takes a liking to me, wouldn't I skyrocket to success?"

"Stop dreaming—do you think the Martial Top Scholar would even look at you?"

Xiao He was the only clear-headed person here; she quickly dispersed the gathered shop assistants, saying, "Stop discussing—hurry up and attend to the customers!"

The pharmacy backroom.

Qin Ziyi was seriously operating something on the computer.

Seeing Lu Jing enter, she quickly rose to greet him, "You're here—have a seat."

For some reason, although Qin Ziyi and Lu Jing are clearly partners, when she saw Lu Jing she felt like an employee seeing the boss.

"Hmm, I wasn't wrong about your management skills—Huichuntang outside actually has a long line."

Lu Jing praised.

Qin Ziyi's face turned red.
