Chapter 1434 “Head Alchemist of the Celestial Palace (3)”
Healer Yu became stunned there for a moment. Earlier his heart also felt uneasy for some unknown reasons, now it made sense after having the idea brought up.
Even if he wasn’t particularly fond of that disciple of his, it’s still his! How could he tolerate someone offing his student?
Furthermore, there’s still the question of why Yun Rou Xi knew about the matter ahead of everyone else. Matching all these points together, it leaves to beckon on whether or not it’s the woman herself who sent the ones responsible for the matter.
“Healer Yu, I never said anything of that sort,” getting all teary red in the eyes, the old witch plays the innocent card. “I only kindly mentioned the Lord has a person he already likes, then Shishi suddenly vomited blood from out of the blue. Perhaps my careless remark stimulated her feelings for the Lord and caused such a strong reaction, for that I am truly sorry. But I did not expect Shishi to order her maid in attacking me. If Keeper Ling didn’t come in the nick of time, I might’ve died by their hands. Is it wrong for me to show kindness?” When speaking the last sentence, the old witch’s face grew even more pathetically sad, making it all the more convincing.
In response, the old grumpy Keeper could feel his anger gushing out. Glaring over at his peer who continues to stand guard: “Yu, I’m sure I don’t need to explain the sort of character Ruo Xi has, do I? She would never say something like that. How can you force her like this based solely on Yue Shishi’s claim? How can you bear it?”
The sickly lady’s appearance visibly trembled over being called a liar and a bad human being. In the end, a squirt of blood came vomiting out of the throat a second time after pressing it down for so long due to the indignation.
Turning around after becoming aware of this sound, Healer Yu instantly grew outraged at the sight. Getting dreadfully cold in his voice: “Compared to Yun Ruo Xi, I rather believe in my students more! It’s not enough that you bunch caused the Lord to never return, now you want to go after my people as well? In that case you can forget about getting anymore Dan pills from my end.” That said, the head alchemist signals the other maids to come forward in order to help support their lady and injured maid: “Take the two of them down to rest, I won’t let anyone harm my people again! Also, tell the other Keepers here that I won’t be supplying anymore of my fourteenth-grade products to the Celestial Palace, you can look elsewhere!”
The logic behind Healer Yu’s maneuver was simple: If he’s going to provide for these ungrateful bastards then why not spend it on Shishi who has been so good to him. At least this way he could put a foot down so they won’t think about kicking him aside after their wings grow hard.
Keeper Ling’s expression visibly contorted into a mess there. He’s outraged, but ashamed at his own lack of constraint to dissolve the situation, which was enough to make him release a dangerous cracking sound along the fists.
“Keeper Ling, I’m sorry, this is all my fault…” The old witch saw this and knew she’s done it now. Hurrying to speak with her head hanging down like a repenting child, “I shouldn’t have reminded Shishi of the Lord, it’s my fault for mistakenly causing all this.”
Perhaps the incident really left a serious sour note in the old grumpy elder’s taste bud, but his tone there didn’t resemble any of the comforting and warm tone he used before: “These things have nothing to do with you, Yu is old and stubborn so it’s bound to happen eventually. Go back first and rest, I need to find the other Keepers to discuss the matter.”
Becoming aware of the impatience shown towards herself, Yun Ro Xi knew what it meant. Slightly shaking in the heart, she hangs her head and left for the exit in silence. However, the tightly clenched balls that were her hands said everything that was truly in her mind.
She’s jealous of Yue Shishi!
That sickly piece of a flash bag wasn’t the same as herself. The old witch understood that everything she owns, everything she has, it all came from lies and deceit. Meanwhile Yue Shishi truly did own all the love and care in her life, the polar opposite of what Rou Xi has.
