Chapter 29: Expel her from here immediately
Rose saw that her eldest miss had a confident and flamboyant look. For a moment, she didn't know whether to feel happy or sad.
She was both amused and exasperated, thinking to herself, "Miss, where did you get the spirit crystals? Usually, you only use silver or gold coins, and I haven't seen you ask the duke for spirit crystals either..."
Rose hesitated about whether to persuade Alice again and stop her from going to the Herb Hall.
"Let's go."
At this time, Alice had already started walking towards the crowd in the street.
Rose had no choice but to swallow her words of persuasion and quickly followed her along with the six guards.
Today, Alice was wearing a light purple dress. As she walked, the hem of the dress fluttered slowly, giving a sense of elegance. Her appearance was peerless, so beautiful that she seemed not to belong to this mortal world. There was a faint smile on her lips, making her look as lively and beautiful as a fairy.
The moment the passersby saw her, their eyes showed a look of amazement.
After the amazement, they couldn't help but start pointing at Alice.
"Isn't this the useless one from the Alva family?"
"That's her!"
"Why did she come out? Usually, she seldom leaves the Alva family, right?"
"I heard that after she came back from the Flaming Forest, her temperament has changed a lot. She even drove out Miss Irina, who had always treated her like a dear sister, from the Alva family!"
"What! She's so heartless. Miss Irina was so kind to her, but she treated Miss Irina so ungratefully." Someone exclaimed.
"..."
Alice couldn't control their mouths, nor did she want to. Let them talk. These rumors were just trifles to her.
There was no need to care.
Alice and her group soon arrived at the entrance of the Herb Hall. She ordered the six guards to wait outside and then entered with Rose.
The young apprentice pharmacist in the Herb Hall had never seen Alice before. Seeing her elegant dress and excellent temperament, he guessed in his heart that Alice was a daughter of a noble family or a person of extraordinary status.
"This way, please, guest." The young apprentice pharmacist welcomed Alice in.
Alice calmly gave a light "Hmm " and entered the Herb Hall with a somewhat nervous Rose.
Inside the hall, on the rows of cabinets at the innermost part, there were all kinds of spirit herbs, spirit medicines, and pills!
The strong smell of medicine brought a refreshing feeling.
There weren't many customers in the hall, but coincidentally, there were two or three that she knew.
Alice ignored them and asked the young apprentice pharmacist, "Do you have Purple Moss Flower Fruits here?"
The young apprentice pharmacist was stunned when he heard this and asked with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, "Is the guest referring to the Purple Moss Flower Fruit of the low-level earth grade with the effect of expelling turbid qi?"
Alice nodded and said, "Yes."
The young apprentice pharmacist said respectfully, "Low-level earth grade spirit medicines are also very rare in our hall. I'm really not sure if there are Purple Moss Flower Fruits. Please have a seat and wait a moment, guest. I'll go and ask the elder in charge."
"Okay."
The young apprentice pharmacist gave her a polite smile and was about to go and find the elder in charge when suddenly a petulant voice was heard: "Don't bother asking. This useless person doesn't have any spirit crystals at all. Why waste your effort?"
The young apprentice pharmacist frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a charming girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old coming towards them with her maid.
The young apprentice pharmacist naturally recognized who this was!
Lady Lilia, Alexander.Lilia.
"Lady Lilia." The young apprentice pharmacist was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses and called out.
Because Lady Lilia's voice was very loud, it attracted the attention of the other people in the hall. When they saw Alice here, they couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
Lady Lilia sneered contemptuously, "Alice, do you think you can get a low-level earth grade spirit medicine just like that? Do you have spirit crystals? This low-level earth grade spirit medicine costs at least twenty thousand low-grade spirit crystals!"
"Whether I have it or not, what does it have to do with you?" Alice's eyebrows slightly cooled.
"I just can't stand people like you who pretend to be something they're not and deliberately want to expose you."
Alice curved her lips and retorted, "Is Lady Lilia always so nosy?"
Lady Lilia was speechless at her words and widened her round almond eyes.
"You... Alice! You quickly kneel down and admit your mistake to me, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't get out of here alive today!" She said arrogantly.
Alice smiled faintly, and her clear and bright phoenix eyes curved.
Alice looked at her and suddenly showed a look as if she were looking at a fool.
Lady Lilia was extremely angry when she saw this.
In a corner of the Herb Hall, two handsome men in gorgeous robes looked at each other and smiled, showing great interest.
The seemingly charming and unrestrained man shook his folding fan gently and teased with a smile, "When did this beauty Alice become so interesting?"
"Nock, you probably don't know." Another man seemed to mutter to himself and then looked at Nobby.Nock and said, "Also, you have been in seclusion to recover from your injuries since you came back from the Flaming Forest. Naturally, you don't know about these strange things about Alice..."
Henry.Clark briefly and clearly told Nobby.Nock about the things related to Alice in the past month.
Nock's smile grew wider as he listened, but the depth of his exploration in his eyes also deepened. His pair of dark eyes stared closely at Alice.
Alice noticed it and glanced in his direction. Their eyes met.
There was no direct confrontation, but there was also a hidden struggle.
Finally, it was Alice who withdrew her gaze.
Because this unreasonable Lady Lilia was determined to teach her a lesson.
Alice saw that Lady Lilia was gathering the magic power of a second-level apprentice magician and was about to strike at her.
Alice didn't move. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be scared silly, just standing there stupidly and waiting for Lady Lilia to hit her.
Rose saw this scene and her pupils slightly shrank. She wanted to step forward and block the attack for Alice. Although her cultivation level was only a first-level apprentice magician, she had no fear at all.
Alice grabbed Rose.
Letting Lady Lilia strike, Alice suddenly curved her lips...
Suddenly, a stern shout rang out, "Who is being so presumptuous in the Herb Hall!"
"Plop ——"
The charming Lady Lilia was directly forced to kneel and fall to the ground by the pressure of a powerful magician. Her slender back was hunched, and she almost lay on the ground.
A vigorous old man in a gray robe walked out from the inner part of the Herb Hall. His face was solemn and his expression darkened.
"It's Elder Benjamin.Miller, the person in charge of the Herb Hall!"
Many apprentice pharmacists bowed and saluted to Elder Benjamin.Miller with respectful expressions.
Elder Benjamin.Miller glanced at Lady Lilia and said coldly, "Do you all seem to have forgotten the rules of my Herb Hall? In the Herb Hall, no one is allowed to use magic to fight. Once discovered, they will be permanently banned from entering the Herb Hall to buy items!"
Lady Lilia's face immediately turned pale, and her whole body couldn't help trembling.
Lady Lilia wanted to explain, "No, I..."
"Throw her out!" Elder Benjamin.Miller immediately gave the order of expulsion.
Several young apprentice pharmacists walked up to Lady Lilia and said firmly, "Lady Lilia, please leave. You are no longer welcome in our Herb Hall!"
