“If you persist in bothering her, don’t hold me responsible for being impolite,” Kang Yan cautioned. Then, with a rigid tone, he addressed the injured Kang family disciple, “Let’s go.”
The Kang Clan disciple wore an ugly expression, casting a fierce glare at Kang Shi before departing in a sorry state.
Had it not been for Kang Shi, he wouldn’t have suffered such a loss of face today. Losing to Kang Shi was undeniably embarrassing.
As the group left, Gu Chaoyan regarded them with incredulity.
He must be delusional.
With plans to head home, Gu Chaoyan’s departure was abruptly halted. The disciples responsible for the medicinal fields wore stern expressions. “Kangshi, you’ve caused damage to these herbs. Figure out how you intend to compensate.”
Gu Chaoyan surveyed the fields, noting a considerable amount of destruction. The damaged herbs were ones that could only barely recover.
During the earlier altercation with Kang Yan and the Kang family disciple, Gu Chaoyan had been cautious in her actions and remained unharmed.
The disciple in charge of the medicinal field arrived, expressing his displeasure. Having stayed indoors during the initial confrontation, he now squarely placed the blame on Kang Shi.
Aware of their inability to offend someone of Kang Yan’s stature, they deemed it acceptable if Kang Shi was mistreated.
Left with no alternative, Gu Chaoyan acquiesced.
She gazed at him deliberately and stated, “I’ll compensate you with these herbs.”
“How do you plan to compensate? Are you suggesting you’ll plant them yourself? Fork over ten Spirit Stones, and we can put an end to this matter,” declared the medicinal field overseer.
Spirit Stones? Gu Chaoyan had none to spare, making it an impractical demand.
“I’ll compensate solely with medicine. In three days, you’ll witness better growth than before. Take it or leave it. If you’re dissatisfied, you can take the matter up with the one truly responsible, like Kangyan,” Gu Chaoyan asserted with unwavering determination, establishing herself as someone not easily trifled with.
“You…” The medicinal field overseer felt a twinge of anger.
However, contemplating Kang Shi’s recent display of power, he reconsidered. Rumors circulated that Kang Shi’s cultivation had seen a recent boost, potentially reopening his conception and governor vessels for further advancement.
No need to pursue this matter further here.
“If you can’t pay, there will be consequences. I’ll report this to the clan,” warned the medicinal field overseer.
“Sure,” Kang Shi agreed promptly.
Confident in the potency of his medicine, Kang Shi also harbored hopes of showcasing his abilities. If the herbs he cultivated garnered attention, he might swiftly attain what he desired.
The medicinal field overseer, satisfied with the swift agreement, was in high spirits. After all, he stood to suffer no losses. The poorly planted herbs were bound to earn him a reprimand, and pinning the blame on Kang Shi would shield him from the clan’s displeasure.
With a glance at the overseer, Gu Chaoyan suggested, “If you can, just leave. I’ll handle it.”
The medicinal field overseer departed without a second thought.
Gu Chaoyan surveyed the herbs. Though undamaged, some had fallen over.
She took out some Spirit Spring Water from her space.
