Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 681

"Of course they do. You're buying herbs here to treat illnesses. If you make a mistake and someone asks for the source of the

medicine, it will lead back to us. | have to make sure." The man was just following protocol.

He added, "I noticed you're from Enswood, so | believed you more, and that's why | asked you so many questions. If it had been

anyone else, | would have kicked you out a long tago."

"I'm really sorry. | can't tell you my mentor's name, but | will definitely be able to cure the ailment." Pearl realized that she might

have been too intense and had made the man angry.

"If that's the case, you can't buy anything from us." The anticipation in the man's gaze disappeared. Human life was at stake, so he

couldn't just take a chance.

Seeing that the man was about to turn around and leave, Pearl said, "Then can you send the person with you away? | can only tell

you."

The man stopped walking. He glanced at the foreign man beside him from the corner of his eyes, and the latter understood

immediately.

Although the middle-aged man was a little reluctant, he left.

"Okay, go ahead."

Now that they were the only people there, Pearl said, "My mentor's nis Simon Freeman."

As soon as the nwas spoken, the man's face froze. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, do you know him?" Pearl's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. Judging from his reaction, it seemed he

wasn't happy like he was going to meet a close friend, but rather disgusted to meet an enemy.

As expected, the man's face immediately darkened. "I can't sell the herbs to you then." With that, he turned around and left

angrily.

Pearl took a few steps forward and finally had no choice but to grab his wrist. She was so strong that the man couldn't pull away,

and for a moment, he didn't even know what to say.

"What? Didn't | tell you | won't sell to you?"

Pearl was a little anxious. "I really need the herbs. | hope you can sell stoand disregard your personal grudges."

The man scoffed. "You don't even know the whole story, yet you think it's just a personal grudge?"

Pearl was momentarily speechless. "You decided not to sell the herbs tojust by hearing my mentor's name. Isn't that

personal?”

The man took advantage of her momentary distraction and quickly shook her hand away. "Okay, | get what you mean. Do you

really have to buy them?"

Pearl nodded. "Of course."

"In this case, you'll need to pass my test first." The man touched his chin. "If you do, I'll give them to you instead of selling them."

That sounded too good to be true. Is there such a good thing?

Nonetheless, Pearl nodded again. "Sure, how do you want to do this?"

"I'll ask you to prepare a medicine. You can use any of the herbs in the warehouse. As long as I'm satisfied with the outcome, I'll

give you the herbs as promised."

That wasn't too difficult, but it wasn't easy either.

When she was learning from Simon, the old man made her prepare medicine every day. Over time, she memorized the ingredients

of smedicines without even looking at the formula.

"But if I'm not satisfied... I'll have someone escort you out."
