Chapter 136 The appearance of an old enemy
The autumn sun filtered through the golden leaves, casting a warm and tranquil light on the courtyard of the pharmacy. Yet, Yun Mengting's heart was overshadowed by a cloud of gloom. Since the pharmacy's resurgence, her ideal blueprint had become increasingly clear, yet a sense of potential crisis loomed, as if an uninvited guest was whispering in the shadows, ready to shake her world at any moment.
Preparations for the afternoon lecture were like flowers bathing in the sun. Shen Yuke was enthusiastically organizing materials, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. However, this tranquility was suddenly shattered by a roar. The door to the pharmacy was pushed open with a thunderous sound.
"Yun Mengting!" The newcomer roared, the sound like a huge wave, piercing the silence. Yun Mengting turned around and was stunned for a moment. She saw her nemesis - Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng stood tall and imposing, his face stern yet tinged with a repulsive arrogance. He had once been a member of the Shen family pharmacy, but had left in anger out of jealousy of Yun Mengting. Now, he had reappeared like an avenger, a terrifying sight.
"Why are you here?" Yun Mengting's heart was mingled with anger and fear, and she tried to appear calm. Her voice was as gentle as the autumn wind and drizzle, but it couldn't mask the turmoil in her heart. Memories of the past came flooding back like a tide, and she couldn't ignore them.
"I'm here to reclaim the honor I deserve!" Jiang Feng approached, the hostility in his eyes like a sharp blade, almost piercing her. "The revival of the medicine hall is what I have longed for. I will never let you act recklessly!"
Shen Yuke was furious and immediately stepped forward to defend him. "Jiang Feng, your actions in the pharmacy are already known to everyone. Yun Mengting has never taken any of your honor. Your jealousy only makes you look even more despicable!"
"Despicable?!" Jiang Feng sneered, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, as if he were the victor. "If it weren't for that accident, I would be the head of the medicine hall. How dare you show off in front of me!"
Yun Mengting's anger burned fiercely in her heart, but she refused to give in to Jiang Feng. She knew that the arrival of her old enemy was like a flood that would destroy her peace, but her will was no longer controlled by fear.
"I hope you understand that anger will only lead to more failure." Her tone was firm and clear, and her eyes gleamed with an unyielding light. "Every achievement of the Medicine Hall is the result of the joint efforts of my team and me, and has nothing to do with your jealousy."
The confrontation intensified under the sunlight, their words clashing like swords, the atmosphere growing increasingly oppressive. Shen Yuke could sense Yun Mengting's inner turmoil and held her hand, wanting to offer support and encouragement. But Yun Mengting had learned to use her own strength to overcome all obstacles.
"I'm telling you, the pharmacy's glory won't last!" Jiang Feng's angry voice was as sharp as a blade, piercing Yun Mengting's heart. Her inner vigilance suddenly increased, sensing Jiang Feng's restlessness. His arrival was definitely not just to turn the tables.
"If you are confident that you can make the Pharmacy surrender, then please sit down and show your cards." Yun Mengting stared at Jiang Feng without fear. Although she was in turmoil, she knew that at this moment, she had to show a strong will.
"You will regret this challenge!" Jiang Feng's mouth showed a sinister smile, which made people shudder. "I have a whole way out. I can destroy everything you have!"
At that moment, the door to the pharmacy was pushed open again, and a tall figure entered, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe and with an imposing demeanor. It was none other than the town's powerful figure, Song Tianhao. His appearance was like scorching sunlight, dispelling Yun Mengting's uneasiness and causing Jiang Feng's face to turn pale.
"Jiang Feng, what are you doing here again?" Song Tianhao's words were like a huge rock dropped, and the slanting air suddenly cooled down.
"Song Tianhao, what's your business?" Jiang Feng was furious, obviously not expecting to be interrupted. "You are just a superfluous character!"
"Put away your arrogance." Song Tianhao responded coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Yun Mengting is the head of the medicine hall. I know all the little secrets in your heart. Don't humiliate yourself again."
The air between Jiang Feng and Song Tianhao seemed to freeze. Yun Mengting felt a mixture of gratitude and embarrassment. She hadn't expected Song Tianhao to come forward to help. She didn't want him to intervene on her behalf, as it would only complicate the situation.
"I'm here to cooperate with you." Yun Mengting tried to remain calm and walked towards Song Tianhao, trying to defuse the impending conflict. "The Medicine Hall cannot compete with the Song family, but if you are willing to join forces with me, perhaps we can better combine our strengths."
Jiang Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this, his tone full of contempt. "Do you really think you can stand up to the Song family? You're just a little woman, you have no right to negotiate with me!"
"You think this will make me back down?" Ren Zheng's anger surged like a tide. Yun Mengting's expression was resolute, as if she had mustered all her courage. "I won't give up easily, no matter how strong the opponent is."
Just as Yun Mengting's fighting spirit was stirring, Jiang Feng's sinister smile sent a chill down her spine. "No matter how hard you two try, you can't change the Medicine Hall's doomed fate!"
Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the pharmacy was like the calm before the storm, so tense it was suffocating. Yun Mengting's heart tightened, knowing this was a challenge from an old enemy. Facing Jiang Feng, she was no longer the fragile little girl, but a strong woman who could face the storm head-on.
"I will defend my dream, no matter what you want to do!" Her voice broke through her inner fear, heavy and powerful, as if every word was proclaiming her unyielding belief. Faced with the provocation of her old enemy, her courage burned like a raging fire.
"Just wait and see." Jiang Feng's arrogance and provocation were fully revealed, making people angry and disgusted. "In this game, I am the ultimate winner!"
At this moment, Yun Mengting's heart surged like the tide. Facing the uncertainty of the future and the threat of old enemies, her heart was filled with a long-lost fighting spirit. She knew that this struggle had just begun, and her ideals would not be trampled upon by anyone.
"No matter what conspiracy you have, I will not back down!" Yun Mengting said firmly, her eyes sharp as a torch, facing the upcoming challenge, and secretly determined in her heart.
With Jiang Feng's appearance, the future of the pharmacy seemed to be swept up in an invisible storm. She knew in her heart that this was not a dilemma she had to face alone, but a test for the entire team. Every challenge and every confrontation was a test of her steadfastness.
All of this was like a torrent in her heart, surging endlessly. While she pondered the future, every person in the medicine hall held a place in her heart. Their trust and unity were the source of her fearlessness in the darkness.
"I will never let Jiang Feng succeed!" Yun Mengting repeated in her heart, determined to build the medicine hall more solid. Every challenge was an opportunity to push her towards victory.
On the other side, Song Tianhao frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He seemed to have also sensed Jiang Feng's intentions brewing. His appearance was not a coincidence, but a secret control of the future of the medicine hall...
