Three Sins Against Heaven

At the end of the month, inside the Medicine Gate's accounting building, many stewards wore worried expressions, occasionally whispering to each other, all expressing dissatisfaction with Ghost Guest and Amanda Han.

In just a month, many medicine shops had no business to conduct. If this continued, their steward positions would inevitably be revoked.

Lan Qian sat at the head seat, took a sip of tea, and turned to Li Qing beside her, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Even if he's the Master's personal disciple, we can't let him off lightly for cutting off everyone's income. The Gate Master is in seclusion, and all affairs of the Medicine Gate are managed by you and me. We need to be unified in our decision. If he can't produce the required profits later, even if we can't take action against him, we must expel him from the Medicine Gate. Are you willing?"

"I'll follow your lead," Li Qing smiled, then shifted the topic, "But what if he does produce it?"

Lan Qian said calmly, "Even if he can produce it, it's just Spirit Stones transferred from the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall might help him this time, but they can't keep losing money to clean up his mess. Since the Law Enforcement Hall is sending us Spirit Stones, we have no reason not to accept them. When he can't produce them anymore, we'll punish him immediately."

"Brilliant," Li Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Two light footsteps sounded, and all the stewards immediately ended their conversations, glaring at Ghost Guest and Amanda Han as they slowly entered.

Amanda Han, dressed in a simple gown, held Ghost Guest's arm and exchanged a calm glance with Lan Qian before finding an empty seat to sit down, her expression cold as clear spring water, as if this was her true self.

Li Qing looked at the now unrecognizable Amanda Han, eyes filled with reminiscence, and couldn't help but glance a few more times until Lan Qian's cold snort brought him back to reality, and he coughed heavily.

"This settlement will be presided over by Deputy Gate Master Lan Qian and me. Let's begin."

The stewards immediately stepped forward with their account books. Although it was about submitting profits, most medicine shops hadn't opened this month, so they merely showed the account books to the two of them symbolically before stepping back. They all knew that today's main focus wasn't on them.

In the end, everyone's gaze fell on Ghost Guest and Amanda Han.
