The middle-aged manâs mouth twitched.?Youâre poor! How can you be poor!
âBy the way, whereâs your puppy? I heard you have a very powerful puppy?â the middle-aged man asked directly, not beating around the bush. He looked around but didnât find a single dog fur.
âSleeping!â Leng Ruoxue said softly with her eyes raised, but she was alert in her heart.?This man doesnât look like heâs here to exchange for herbs at all. Moreover, why is he asking about Icy?
âLet me see that puppy! Iâm very curious,â the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth.
âIâm sorry. Icy doesnât see outsiders.â 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?
âI donât care. I have to see it,â the middle-aged man said unreasonably.
âNo.â Leng Ruoxue was amused.?How interesting. Who does this person think he is!
âI wonât leave if you donât let me see that puppy,â the middle-aged man said shamelessly.
âUp to you. Freak, letâs go!â Leng Ruoxue said with some amusement. How could she meet all sorts of crazy people!
âOkay,â 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, âXueâer, that person is still following us!â
âItâs okay. Weâre about to reach the inn,â Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Although she didnât know why this man wanted to see Icy, her intuition told her that he shouldnât 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 discussingâ¦
âWhat happened?â Freak and Leng Ruoxue looked at each other in puzzlement.
âI really canât tell! This man looks very loyal. How could he cause someoneâs death?â
âYou canât judge a book by its cover!â
âYes, yes! Itâs really terrifying for an alchemist to cause someoneâs death!â
Upon hearing everyoneâs 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 innâ¦
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 angerâ¦
âZheng En, I didnât expect you to still be alive! I thought you had committed suicide long ago!â the man said gloatingly, his slightly feminine face full of pride.
âSun Wei, you are not dead yet, so how can I bear to die!â Zheng En suppressed his hatred. He knew that he didnât have the ability to deal with Sun Wei now. Moreover, he couldnât cause trouble for his young lady! Therefore, he chose to endure Sun Weiâs 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?
âHaha, do you think you are my match? You lost to me fifteen years ago, and you canât beat me now!â Sun Wei said confidently. With his current status, it was simply easy to kill Zheng En if he wanted to. But he wouldnât 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!
âIs that so?â Leng Ruoxueâs voice sounded indifferently in the lobby.
âWho are you?â 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!
âZheng En is my subordinate. Who do you think I am?â Leng Ruoxue asked coldly.
âMiss,â Zheng En called out in embarrassment, his handsome face full of guilt. He knew that he still caused trouble for his young lady!
âIn that case, an ugly monster like you is his master! Haha! I didnât expect that our once famous alchemy genius would actually find himself a master. Seems like youâre really not doing well!â Sun Wei laughed hysterically, his greasy face full of pride.
âShut up! This is my business!â Zheng En shouted. He could tolerate Sun Wei humiliating him, but he wouldnât allow Sun Wei to humiliate his young lady!
âWhat? Are you angry from embarrassment? Am I not telling the truth?â Sun Wei asked with a smug face.
âZheng En, step aside,â Leng Ruoxue ordered lightly. She hoped that Zheng En could take revenge himself, but this didnât mean that she could tolerate others bullying her people. This Sun Wei had obviously touched her bottom line.
âYes, Miss,â Zheng En answered and then obediently retreated to the side.
âYour name is Sun Wei, right?â Leng Ruoxue turned her head and glanced at Sun Wei coldly.
âThatâs right. Everyone calls me Master Sun,â Sun Wei said proudly.
âMaster? Are you qualified to be called a master?â 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.
âHmph! Iâm the beloved disciple of the Alchemist Association Headquartersâ president. If Iâm not qualified to be addressed as master, then others are even less qualified,â Sun Wei said, suppressing his anger.
âSo youâre the disciple of the headquartersâ president! No wonder youâre so arrogant! However, being called a master isnât about status but the attainments and character of an alchemist in alchemy. I donât know how your attainments are, but your character is really insulting the honorific title of a master!â Leng Ruoxue said very disdainfully.?Hmph!?She didnât care about this fellowâs identity! Anyone who dared to humiliate her in public had to pay the price!
