If he had sent someone by his side, it might have been possible to steal the herbs.

But the ones he sent were those under Sixth Ding’s command. How could they possibly steal the herbs? The Ding Family’s guards are not incompetent; even those fools under Sixth Ding couldn’t be ignored.

Now, it’s all about alerting the enemy. Even if he sends someone to steal those herbs again, he doesn’t know where they are hidden now.

But if he sends someone to openly ask for them...

The conflict between him and Lin Baizhong has already broadened. If he adds the Ding Family to the mix, with the few subordinates he has in Sky City right now, it’s simply not enough.

He must choose between the two groups.

However, both groups are very important to him, indispensable.

"Master, I had no choice! I already sent people to ask for them, but that old witch still refused. She even sent my men back.

I thought those few herbs were really important, that’s why I considered sending people to steal them. Who knew they were already wary!"

Sixth Ding also felt bitter inside. He couldn’t understand the purpose of those herbs and why he needed to send people to ask for or steal them.

Moreover, because he couldn’t steal those herbs, Zui Yifeng even beat him!

Before, the master had never laid a finger on him. He was a very important subordinate, wasn’t he?

"Master, there’s still time. If you send someone over, you’ll definitely be able to get those herbs." He said to Zui Yifeng.

"Idiot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zui Yifeng berated him.

What do you mean there’s still time? It’s impossible! Ding Zhuzui and Old Madam Ding are very shrewd.

Since they knew Sixth Ding couldn’t openly ask for them, he resorted to stealing, which shows the importance of those herbs. If they don’t act quickly to protect those herbs, the Ding Family would really be doomed.

"What’s the use of saying this now? Those herbs have probably already been relocated by the Ding Family!"

"Uh!"

Sixth Ding was taken aback by Zui Yifeng’s words.

"N-no way?"

He thought to himself, isn’t it just a few herbs? Do they need to relocate and have people guarding them?

However, his master specifically wanted those herbs, which was why he sent people to ask the Ding Family for them. But they couldn’t get them, which was truly infuriating.

"Why wouldn’t it be possible?"

Zui Yifeng questioned him again.

"Do you think Ding Zhuzui is as foolish as you? You couldn’t openly ask for them and resorted to stealing. Do you think he wouldn’t understand what’s going on? Do you expect that because of your persistence, the Family Head Ding would be moved by your perseverance and deliver those herbs to you?"

"I..."

Sixth Ding opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

He wanted to say, he thought Ding Zhuzui should be doing that because after all, he is Ding Zhuzui’s elder, his Sixth Uncle.

Could it be that if Sixth Uncle gets sick, Ding Zhuzui would pretend nothing happened and just sit at home waiting for him to die? He should be bringing those herbs with both hands offered up to him.

"Master, maybe Ding Zhuzui would actually...bring the herbs to me, don’t you think?"
