“Hear that? You’re lucky it’s Master Zhuo. If you act so recklessly again, watch out for your life,” Ma Bing shouted sternly, then with a smile, he stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Zhuo Qingfeng, saying, “Master Zhuo, it’s all a misunderstanding. I apologize for my lax management, please don’t take it to heart.”

Zhuo Qingfeng shook his head, naturally too lazy to argue with the other party.

Soon, the three of them paid one hundred fifty thousand mid-grade true stones and exchanged for their identity tokens, after which Ma Bing personally escorted them out of the teleportation hall.

The teleportation hall quickly returned to silence, as people continued to line up to exchange their identity tokens, still discussing and speculating about Zhuo Qingfeng's identity.

Inside a room in the teleportation hall, Ma Bing sat in a high position while Wang Yong stood by.

“Manager Ma, who exactly is that kid?” Wang Yong gritted his teeth. Given Manager Ma’s background, it was puzzling to see him treat those three with such attitude, which also made Wang Yong feel discontented.

“Don’t you know him? It makes sense, you probably haven’t heard of Zhuo Qingfeng, but you should’ve heard of the Zhuo family from Dan Dao City, right?” A cold smile appeared on Ma Bing's face as he sneered.

“The Zhuo family, is it the Zhuo family from the south of the city?” Wang Yong exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t that under the command of the Medicine King Xuan Yi?”

Ma Bing sneered, “Yes, it’s the Zhuo family from the south of the city under Medicine King Xuan Yi.”

“I thought it was some big shot, I didn’t expect it to be the Zhuo family under Medicine King Xuan Yi. Manager Ma, with your identity and status, shouldn’t you be afraid of them? The Zhuo family from the south of the city isn’t what it used to be; they say they’re severely declining now, and as for Medicine King Xuan Yi, he no longer has the prestige he once had, right?”

Ma Bing scoffed, “I have no reason to fear the Zhuo family from the south of the city, but this person is not simple; he was once a direct disciple of Medicine King Xuan Yi.”

“A direct disciple of Medicine King Xuan Yi?” Wang Yong was taken aback. Medicine King Xuan Yi was one of the major figures in the Alchemy Pavilion back in the day. Even though he no longer had his former prestige, he was still an elder of the Alchemy Pavilion. His direct disciple? How could that be?

Moreover, how come he had never heard of Medicine King Xuan Yi having such a disciple in recent years?

“This is old news. This person offended Piao Miao Palace back in the day and was expelled from the Alchemy Pavilion. As a result, Medicine King Xuan Yi’s status in the Alchemy Pavilion also fell drastically, all thanks to him,” Ma Bing mocked.

What? There’s such a backstory?

Wang Yong was shocked and frowned in thought. Indeed, there was such an incident decades ago; a disciple of Medicine King Xuan Yi offended Piao Miao Palace and was expelled from the Alchemy Pavilion. Unexpectedly, it was that person from earlier.

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Yong’s forehead. He hadn’t expected to offend him. Fear gripped his heart; no wonder Manager Ma had such an attitude. Although Medicine King Xuan Yi had fallen from grace, he still held considerable influence in the Alchemy Pavilion. While Manager Ma might be fine in his wrath, as a mere leader of a teleportation hall, he would surely suffer greatly.

“Thank you, Manager Ma, for the reminder.” Wang Yong was filled with dread, his entire body soaked in cold sweat. “Actually, you don’t need to be this nervous.” Ma Bing sneered, “I never expected that after all these years, this person would actually return. Well, Medicine King Xuan Yi must be quite saddened these days; this kid’s return will certainly excite him. Wang Yong, go comfort that beaten guard and extract a statement. When the time is right, submit it to the Alchemy Pavilion, just say that Medicine King Xuan Yi’s disciple is lawless and causing a ruckus in the teleportation hall, negatively impacting the Alchemy Pavilion, and we ask the Alchemy Pavilion to uphold justice.”
