Chapter 594 - Arrived at Destination; Jealousy and Hissy Fit 5
The entire hall was taken over by young people all of a sudden. The few elders just closed their eyes and rested as though they were not even there.
Ji Letian made the introduction. And, regardless of what the disciples’ opinions were, the conversations were relatively pleasant. Ji Letian had further taken this opportunity to apologize to Cheng Xiao Xiao for his sister’s earlier behavior. He felt that it was his sister’s fault earlier and it was only right for him to apologize.
Time flew by as they were socializing and these disciples had dinner with the two of them before the two were settled into the guest quarters.
Inside the guest quarter, Cheng Xiao Xiao set a parameter and gave the one in front of her a smile that wasn’t a smile as she said to him, “I would never have guessed. You are so popular here that I almost drowned in vinegar tonight.”
“Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about?” Someone was playing dumb.
“Oh? You really don’t know what I am talking about?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly grabbed his ear with one hand and said into his ear. “Do tell, tool, and stop playing dumb to me. You seem quite popular eh. Why don’t you do a reading on yourself and see how many girls out there are interested in you?”
“Ow, ow, Xiao Xiao. Don’t twist my ear…”
As his ear was twisted almost all the way around, there was a frown on his handsome face. “That hurt, Xiao Xiao. Don’t twist anymore. It hurts so much. Don’t be mad. Really, don’t be mad. There are no other girls. Really, there aren’t any…”
“No? Do you think I am blind? There was your little sister Ji. Then there were those few beauties who surrounded you earlier, flirting with you the entire time. Do you feel lucky and happy?”
“What flirting? There was no flirting. Xiao Xiao, I really didn’t notice it at all. I swear…”
“Men swear all the time. I don’t buy it. Now tell me the truth. When did all these happen? I thought you are a tool, but you sure are good at getting girls to like you. You are not sleeping until you give me a satisfactory answer!”
“It’s not true. Really, it’s not. I have only helped shi mei Huang looked into there whereabouts of her parents. I helped shi mei Zhou looked into her missing younger brother. I helped shi mei An looked into…”
Under the interrogation, Mo Xuanzun nicely give up how he “flirting” with all the girls back in the days. But that got even worse. Finally, both of his ears turned into pig ears – red and swollen and he was not allowed to heal himself using his qi. And he was made to stand in the corner overnight.
While the two of them were fooling around in their room, inside a courtyard in a hill not too far away, a man’s brows were furrowed. He was one of the elders who was inside the hall earlier.
He was one of the Valley of the Alchemists’ guest elders. He has quite a bit of freedom at the Valley of the Alchemists. Normally the Valley Master didn’t ask much of him except when the situation really called for his help.
This elder was special. He was not only an apothecary but also an alchemist. Even Old Man Ji would not risk offending him.
“What he didn’t expect was that she didn’t die from his strike back then. That’s not possible. She was but a little martial scholar back then. Even though he only used 50% of his power, she should still have been dead by now!”
“So she was Cheng Xiao Xiao. That was very unexpected. Would she still recognize me? Was she here for revenge? Should he take off right now?”
“She’s a martial emperor now and that kid Mo Xuanzun is a martial monarch. If they are to get into a battle, for sure he would be the one who’d lose the battle. If she isn’t here for revenge, then perhaps she is here for other reasons. Perhaps I should stay and play it by the ear?”
“……”
The next day!
Old Man Ji and Valley Master Ji showed up again. And this time it was just the two of them.
“Young Madam Cheng, you didn’t come here to the Valley of the Alchemists for fun. We wonder what is the purpose of your visit. If you have any needs, you can just let us know,” said Valley Master Ji in a straightforward manner.
“Valley Master Ji is right. We are here because we have a request.”
Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a tender smile. Her look fell upon Old Man Ji and said, “We would like to concoct our own pills. I trust that both Senior Ji and Valley Master Ji are aware that Sacred Land Zhongyuan is in the process of recruiting disciples and we are in need of large quantity of pills and mystical tools.”
“You are going to concoct your own pills?”
