Culprit found
The sound of the door being knocked onto rang out.
And followed by the knocking sound was an amiable sounding voice.
"Nephew Ye, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this voice, a sneer appeared on Ye Hua's face.
"From the looks of it, one of the possible culprits has shown up on my doorstep."
Ye Hua thought to himself as he placed all of the medicinal herbs back into the storage box.
Afterward, as he arrived at the front of the door…
Ye Hua put on a smile on his face, then opened the door and enthusiastically welcomed the person into his house.
"Manager Zhang, just what is it that brought you here?"
"Quickly, come on in! Don't be courteous with me, make yourself at home!"
Ye Hua did not spend years working at a state-owned enterprise for nothing.
Putting on a fake smile that looked just like a sincere smile was a mere simple task for him.
"My arrival didn't cause any disturbance to Nephew Ye's pill concocting session, did it?"
Upon hearing that, Ye Hua shook his head.
"Of course not, of course not!"
"This previous pill concocting session of mine actually went pretty well, and I am currently taking a short break."
"It's just that… How do I put it…"
"It's a bit embarrassing, but because it hasn't been long since I have left the family manor…"
"And I still haven't gotten accustomed to living in Silver Moonlight Market…"
"My pill concocting technique seems to be a bit off."
"From how things are going, I'm afraid I will only be able to accomplish the task assigned to me barely by the deadline given to me."
"And in the worst-case scenario…"
"I may not even be able to concoct enough pills to hand over to the store when the deadline arrives…"
While listening to Ye Hua speak…
Manager Zhang's smile could be seen to become wider.
And as Manager Zhang began looking around the house…
When he smelled that there was a burnt smell within the room, evidently which was caused by the failing of pill concoction…
The smile on his face became even wider.
If one didn't know better, just by looking at the wide smile on Manager Zhang's face, one would have thought that he had struck the lottery.
With an extremely wide smile on his face, Manager Zhang laughed heartily, then said.
"Nephew Ye, you can be at ease."
"You are a member of Ye Family, and this store belongs to Ye Family."
"If you are unable to reach the quota of concocted pills when the deadline arrives…"
"It's no big deal for you to receive a few more days of extension!"
"Even more, as a manager, although I don't possess much authority…"
"I do at least possess the authority to help you extend your deadline by at least a week or two!"
"All I hope is that, with the extended deadline…"
"You will have no problem with being able to complete your assigned task."
"After all, it would be a bad look for you if you still failed your assigned task even after receiving an extension to your deadline."
"And when the time comes where you still ended up failing to finish your assigned task even after receiving an extension to your deadline…"
"You do know that I would have to write it down on your resume, right?"
"And with this stain in your resume, it would dampen your chance of being able to join Azure Cloud Sect as a disciple."
"Personally, I hope that everything would go well for you…"
Azure Cloud Sect…?
While listening to Manager Zhang talked, Ye Hua's expression didn't change at all from start to finish.
However, Ye Hua was already sure of one thing.
Which was that…
The culprit who messed with his red moon flowers was the hypocrite bastard that was currently standing right in front of him.
From Ye Hua's memories, Ye Hua knew that Azure Cloud Sect was a big sect…
A big sect that possessed a golden-core realm ancestor.
And the golden-core realm ancestor was still currently well and alive.
Ye Family's first-generation ancestor was once an outer disciple of Azure Cloud Sect.
However, due to not possessing enough luck…
Ye Family's first-generation ancestor wasn't able to break through qi refining realm and step into the realm of foundation establishment.
Thus, in the end, the first-generation ancestor decided to leave Azure Cloud Sect and chose to build his own cultivation family from scratch.
Regarding the matter of their disciples choosing to leave the sect, for the sake of forming their own cultivation family…
Azure Cloud Sect was fully supportive of their actions.
After all, the disciples who would choose to leave the sect to form their own cultivation family…
Those disciples were usually just qi refining realm disciples who saw no hope in breaking through to the next realm of cultivation.
It wasn't really considered a great loss at all for Azure Cloud Sect when those disciples chose to leave the sect.
Instead, it was even considered a win-win situation for Azure Cloud Sect.
With those disciples who possessed no hope in breaking through to the next realm of cultivation taking the initiative to leave the sect…
Not only did It mean that Azure Cloud Sect didn't have to continue wasting resources on disciples who had no future in reaching higher realm of cultivation…
It also meant that, Azure Cloud Sect would be able to have more control in the territories that were outside of Azure Cloud Sect's main territory.
After all, when a disciple decides to form a cultivation family, they would normally choose to do it in one of Azure Cloud Sect's territories.
And if the disciple was successful in forming a cultivation family, it was only a matter of time that the cultivation family would start to have influence in the territory that they were situated at.
Despite the fact that those disciples were no longer Azure Cloud Sect's disciples, and were counted as Azure Cloud Sect's ex disciples…
It was consensus that the cultivation families that those Azure Cloud Sect's ex disciples formed were under the protection of Azure Cloud Sect.
And if the cultivation family possessed a close friend who was still in Azure Cloud Sect…
It was normal for Azure Cloud Sect to be willing to show more favoritism to that particular cultivation family.
Take Ye Family's first-generation ancestor for example…
