Chapter 2956: Three Lightning Tribulations
“My apologies, my Master has left instructions not to receive guests.” Leng Hua said, and gave them an apologetic smile.
“Young Master Leng, if I may be honest with you, I am here to ask for medicinal pills.”
Old Jiang looked at him and explained the purpose of his visit directly: “My lifespan is nearing its end, and yet, though I can see that my lifespan is nearly exhausted, there is nothing I can do. The sixth grade Breakthrough Pill can help me avert my imminent disaster. Therefore, please tell your Master on my behalf that no matter what conditions the Master of your house requests, I will accept it. My only wish is to be given a sixth grade Breakthrough Pill.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Hua glanced at him and said: “Fine, I will tell my Master.”
They didn’t breathe a sigh of relief when they heard his response but instead their hearts felt worry. He had responded with such ease, as if he didn’t care about their request.
Old Jiang took a deep breath and asked, “Young Master Leng, I wonder if you can tell me what my chances of obtaining a Breakthrough Pill are?”
He could tell that this young man was not an ordinary attendant, therefore, right from the beginning, his attitude towards him was mild-mannered. At this point in time, the two of them didn’t know that Leng Hua, who was standing in front of them, was not inferior to either of them in terms of strength at all.
Upon hearing this, Leng Hua gave the old man a deep look and said warmly: “That is hard to say.”
The two of them looked at each other, and the old man asked again: “Then what are our chances of meeting the Master of your mansion?”
Leng Hua smiled and replied: “My Master is not seeing guests.”
The old man couldn’t help but feel anxious. He wanted to ask for a medicinal pill, but he wasn’t sure if he would be able to get it. He wanted to ask for it in person, but he was unable to do so.
“Please return.” Leng Hua said and nodded slightly, then he took a step back and closed the door.
Old Jiang looked at the closed door sadly: “What should I do?”
Qiu Cheng Hai smelt the faint medicinal fragrance in the air and said: “In the City In The Sky, I could tell that the red-clothed woman has a weird temperament. It’s normal for her not wanting to see guests. We have to think of other ways!”
“That’s all we can do for now. But what other ways can there be?” Old Jiang sighed helplessly.
The people in the mansion are not simple!” Qiu Cheng Hai said with his hands behind his back. “Look, this mansion has a boundary barrier set up around it. Even if we tried, we wouldn’t be able to break in.”
The two of them stood outside the mansion’s gate for a while before they turned around and left.
Inside the mansion, after Feng Jiu entered the alchemy room, she didn’t leave for a few days. Over the past few days, almost all the family clans and various forces in Cardinal Point City came bearing gifts. Even the Jiang Family sent some people over with gifts. In the end, because too many people came knocking on their door, Leng Hua hung a sign outside the door to thank them. Finally, it quietened down.
In the early hours of the next morning, before the sky had fully lit up, a lightning tribulation sounded through Cardinal Point City. When the thunder sounded with a loud bang, someone muttered in their sleep: “It’s thunder, it’s going to rain.”
However, when the next lightning tribulation fell, the man who had been sleeping turned over suddenly and jumped up. He jumped up to the roof and checked out the situation.
At the same time, the people of the major families of Cardinal Point City had also been woken up by the sound of the thunder. They jumped onto the roofs of their homes and looked out into the distance to see what had happened.
When another lightning tribulation fell, everyone looked in the direction when it had fallen from and their eyes widened in shock: “Is it them?”
