“Yan… Master Yan?”
“Just moved back to the Imperial city?”
Young Master Hong, Li Xin, who limped as he walked back, as well as everyone else, felt a quiver in their hearts. They were stunned.
Is he that Master Yan we thought of?
Is he Master Yan, the fifth-grade alchemist and a genius from dozens of years ago, who couldn’t practice alchemy for many years? But then, he was suddenly being cured, had a breakthrough, and even had disciples from all over the world?
As everyone thought about it…
“Young Master Hong, Young Master Li Xin, quickly come and meet Master Yan. He’s the only fifth-grade alchemist in our Tian Zhao Empire. He’s also half a master to me. He just promised me that he would come to our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to auction his refined fifth-grade pills in the future!”
“!”
Fifth-grade pills!
It’s indeed him!
Master Yan, the only fifth-grade alchemist in the Tian Zhao Empire!
The expressions of the crowd instantly changed.
Young Master Hong and Li Xin shivered with fear. Their faces turned pale in a flash.
When Master Tian saw them, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
At the next moment.
“Humph!” Master Yan snorted. “I don’t deserve it! These two young masters said that they wanted to catch me, this old thing! How do I dare proclaim myself as being that great in front of them?”
“!!!” Master Tian sucked in a cold breath of air. “This, this… Master Yan, this must be a misunderstanding.”
Young Master Hong and Li Xin were also fearful and regretful. They endured their grievances and hurriedly went forward to beg for mercy. “Master Yan, please forgive us! Master Yan, please forgive us. We flew into a rage earlier not because we were against you, but because we were against that b*tch instead. We didn’t have the intention of taking action against you. Everything is a misunderstanding!”
“B*tch?” Master Yan sneered. “I wonder why the both of you want to humiliate my friend?”
Big droplets of sweat instantly rolled down Li Xin’s forehead.
“Um… Master Yan, that b*tch… young lady, she’s bloodthirsty and behaves dishonorably. She must have deceived you. That’s why you treat her as your friend. Her actions have really infuriated us. Hence, we were so angry. We didn’t have the intention to humiliate her!”
When Master Tian saw Master Yan’s expression becoming worse, he frowned and scolded the two young men. “Why did you two make things difficult for a young lady? How can Master Yan’s friend behave badly? Why don’t you all tell me what that young lady has done?”
The intention to protect her was apparent in his words.
Li Xin and Young Master Hong instantly became dumbfounded.
Lou Qianxue looked at both of them with an ambiguous smile. Her eyes revealed ridicule.
“This…” Li Xin gave Young Master Hong a kick.
Young Master Hong had no choice but to bite the bullet. “She stole a bottle of fourth-grade pills that was worth hundreds of millions from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Hence, we…”
“Fourth-grade pills!” Master Tian’s expression suddenly changed. He doubtfully looked at Lou Qianxue. “This isn’t a small matter…”
“Ha!” However, Master Yan suddenly broke into laughter. “Hahahahaha…”
Everyone looked at him with shock as they whispered amongst themselves. “Has this Master Yan become crazy? Why did he suddenly laugh so wildly?”
“He really looks frightening.”
The crowd was discussing the matter when…
Master Yan suddenly smiled. Then, his expression became sullen as he looked at Young Master Hong with a disdainful gaze. “Ridiculous, really ridiculous! You said that she stole the fourth-grade pills of your Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? This is the funniest joke that I have ever heard!”
“Huh?”
Master Tian froze for a while. “Master Yan, what do you mean?”
Everyone else doubtfully looked at him…
“Tian Zhongkui, let me ask you. Do you think that I’ll steal fourth-grade pills from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?”
“How’s it possible!” Master Tian stared until his eyes became round. He hurriedly responded. “You’re a fifth-grade alchemist. You can refine any fourth-grade pills yourself. Why do you have to steal?”
