Chapter 443: Old Friends (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The middle-aged man’s mouth twitched. You’re poor! How can you be poor!
“By the way, where’s your puppy? I heard you have a very powerful puppy?” the middle-aged man asked directly, not beating around the bush. He looked around but didn’t find a single dog fur.
“Sleeping!” Leng Ruoxue said softly with her eyes raised, but she was alert in her heart. This man doesn’t look like he’s here to exchange for herbs at all. Moreover, why is he asking about Icy?
“Let me see that puppy! I’m very curious,” the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.
“I’m sorry. Icy doesn’t see outsiders.” Leng Ruoxue refused without thinking. This man is really too strange. Does he have a grudge against Icy? Why is he gritting his teeth at the mention of Icy?
“I don’t care. I have to see it,” the middle-aged man said unreasonably.
“No.” Leng Ruoxue was amused. How interesting. Who does this person think he is!
“I won’t leave if you don’t let me see that puppy,” the middle-aged man said shamelessly.
“Up to you. Freak, let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement. How could she meet all sorts of crazy people!
“Okay,” Freak replied. The two of them stood up, packed their things simply, and left the exchange meeting venue.
The middle-aged man was stunned. Then he immediately followed!
Walking on the streets of Blue Cloud City, Freak looked back at the middle-aged man following them. He frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, “Xue’er, that person is still following us!”
“It’s okay. We’re about to reach the inn,” Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Although she didn’t know why this man wanted to see Icy, her intuition told her that he shouldn’t have any ill intentions.
As soon as Leng Ruoxue and Freak arrived, they found that the entrance of the inn was crowded. Moreover, the surrounding people were discussing…
“What happened?” Freak and Leng Ruoxue looked at each other in puzzlement.
“I really can’t tell! This man looks very loyal. How could he cause someone’s death?”
“You can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“Yes, yes! It’s really terrifying for an alchemist to cause someone’s death!”
Upon hearing everyone’s discussion, Leng Ruoxue and Freak pushed through the crowd and walked directly into the inn.
At this moment, Zheng En was confronting a greasy-looking man in his thirties in the lobby of the inn…
The man looked at Zheng En arrogantly and provocatively, while Zheng En said nothing. But his flushed handsome face and trembling body showed his current anger…
“Zheng En, I didn’t expect you to still be alive! I thought you had committed suicide long ago!” the man said gloatingly, his slightly feminine face full of pride.
“Sun Wei, you are not dead yet, so how can I bear to die!” Zheng En suppressed his hatred. He knew that he didn’t have the ability to deal with Sun Wei now. Moreover, he couldn’t cause trouble for his young lady! Therefore, he chose to endure Sun Wei’s humiliation. Anyway, his young lady had said that it was never too late to take revenge. He had waited for so many years, so what were a few more days?
“Haha, do you think you are my match? You lost to me fifteen years ago, and you can’t beat me now!” Sun Wei said confidently. With his current status, it was simply easy to kill Zheng En if he wanted to. But he wouldn’t let Zheng En die easily. Zheng En was once the person he was most envious of! Moreover, the feeling of a cat catching a mouse was the best, so he wanted to play Zheng En to death slowly. That would be more satisfying!
“Is that so?” Leng Ruoxue’s voice sounded indifferently in the lobby.
“Who are you?” Sun Wei looked at Leng Ruoxue with some displeasure. Where did this ugly monster come from? You better not meddle in my affairs, or I will definitely make you regret it!
“Zheng En is my subordinate. Who do you think I am?” Leng Ruoxue asked coldly.
“Miss,” Zheng En called out in embarrassment, his handsome face full of guilt. He knew that he still caused trouble for his young lady!
“In that case, an ugly monster like you is his master! Haha! I didn’t expect that our once famous alchemy genius would actually find himself a master. Seems like you’re really not doing well!” Sun Wei laughed hysterically, his greasy face full of pride.
“Shut up! This is my business!” Zheng En shouted. He could tolerate Sun Wei humiliating him, but he wouldn’t allow Sun Wei to humiliate his young lady!
“What? Are you angry from embarrassment? Am I not telling the truth?” Sun Wei asked with a smug face.
“Zheng En, step aside,” Leng Ruoxue ordered lightly. She hoped that Zheng En could take revenge himself, but this didn’t mean that she could tolerate others bullying her people. This Sun Wei had obviously touched her bottom line.
“Yes, Miss,” Zheng En answered and then obediently retreated to the side.
“Your name is Sun Wei, right?” Leng Ruoxue turned her head and glanced at Sun Wei coldly.
“That’s right. Everyone calls me Master Sun,” Sun Wei said proudly.
“Master? Are you qualified to be called a master?” Leng Ruoxue asked. On the Boundless Heaven Continent, only certain virtuous Master Alchemists would be respectfully addressed as masters. And those at the Grandmaster Alchemist level and above would be addressed as excellencies.
“Hmph! I’m the beloved disciple of the Alchemist Association Headquarters’ president. If I’m not qualified to be addressed as master, then others are even less qualified,” Sun Wei said, suppressing his anger.
“So you’re the disciple of the headquarters’ president! No wonder you’re so arrogant! However, being called a master isn’t about status but the attainments and character of an alchemist in alchemy. I don’t know how your attainments are, but your character is really insulting the honorific title of a master!” Leng Ruoxue said very disdainfully.. Hmph! She didn’t care about this fellow’s identity! Anyone who dared to humiliate her in public had to pay the price!
