Si Mobai brought Feng Tianlan to the lookout stand which was furnished with a red carpet especially for today’s competition. He lifted his gaze coldly to look at those people making snide remarks, before speaking to Feng Tianlan in a gentle tone, “Don’t be worried, Xi Jin will be alright. Just focus on refining pills, leave everything else to me.”
Feng Tianlan blinked her phoenix eyes lightly and smiled gently at Si Mobai, “Ok, with Mobai around, I feel reassured.”
Mobai had been very forgiving towards her. He was such an easily jealous man by nature, yet he talked about Xi Jin frequently these past few days. He kept her updated regardless of whether there was any news despite having to handle many other things at the same time. Mobai indeed treated her very well and with a lot of generosity.
Whether or not she found Xi Jin today, she was determined to enter the Shang Institute. As for him, a twenty-something-year-old man, he has his own ideas, his own responsibility, if he really…
In that case, she could only say that she had tried her best.
Her main focus should be on finding her parents, and Mobai. She could not break Mobai’s heart just because of Xi Jin. As long as she tried her best, it would be sufficient.
Weng Yue stood on one side, observing Feng Tianlan who appeared to be in a daze. Reflecting on the setbacks he had faced in the past two days, he began to loathe the woman and did not have a good opinion of her. Upon thinking about how a Grand Alchemist like himself now had to compete against a girl like her who was not even a Medical Child, he felt very insulted.
“Miss Feng, it is still fifteen minutes to noon. I can still teach you to make the easiest Blood Clotting Powder. As long as you can successfully make it later, we can count that as a victory for you.” Weng Yue saw that she appeared a little absentminded, not as though she was facing a formidable enemy. She was ignoring his status as Grand Alchemist, and this made his resentment towards her grow.
Feng Tianlan looked up to glance at Weng Yue beside her. She replied lightly with a polite smile, “There is no need for that. The rules of the competition are whatever they are supposed to be. We will make whichever pill Supremacy Deng chooses.”
At this point, she was already a Heavenly Supreme Spiritual Practitioner. Whenever she wanted to look for a Pill Recipe, she only needed to think of it in her mind and it would appear.
“I hear that Miss Feng cannot gather spirits, so I’m afraid you have never refined pills before. I, Weng Yue, am a dignified Grand Alchemist. If I was to compete with someone who has not made pills before, it would be considered bullying. As such, as long as Miss Feng can successfully make the Blood Clotting Powder, I will admit defeat.” When Weng Yue saw that she was still not taking him seriously, he became angrier.
She was nothing but a woman who depended on rebirth, on someone else’s body, and on the Demon King, to run amuck. Despite this, she dared to treat him, a Grand Alchemist, without any seriousness or respect. How ridiculous!
Upon hearing his words, Feng Tianlan frowned and lowered her voice as she spoke, “Alchemist Weng should not speak too confidently. I have refined pills before, and it only takes me an instant to make the Blood Clotting Powder.”
“Is that so?” Weng Yue laughed mockingly. “It is Miss Feng who should not speak too confidently. I have never heard that you know how to refine pills.”
“Whether you believe me or not is up to you.” Feng Tianlan was still worried about Xi Jin’s safety and was becoming unhappy with Weng Yue’s high and mighty attitude. She was no longer polite towards him and her voice immediately turned cold.
Courtesy and respect should be mutual.
She had replied him politely, showing respect for him in view of his capabilities and status as a Grand Alchemist. However, he relied on his status to look down on her and mock her. Naturally, she did not feel the need to respect him any longer.
“Humph! You can just admit it if you don’t know and I will teach you. Miss Feng, you do not need to be angry from embarrassment.” Weng Yue realized her reply to him had become cold and took that as a sign that she was angry at him because she was embarrassed.
Feng Tianlan lifted her eyes to look at him before bringing out a regular-looking Pill Furnace from the Pill Scroll Realm…
