63 Alchemy Tower (2/2)
Yun Hihi immediately stopped and said, ”Master!”
An old woman probably in her 60's walked over them and sized Jin Rou up. She looked at Yun Hihi and said, ”Yun, what is happening?”
”Master, that man is arrogant!” Yun Hihi glared at Jin Rou with full of hostility, ”I just wanted to let him leave since he was not planning on buying anything. But he insisted to be here and criticized me as ONLY a 1-star Master Alchemist!” She really said the word 'only' with full of stress.
The old woman shifted her gaze to Jin Rou and sized him for the second time. She immediately frowned and murmured. ”Strange. How can I not see his cultivation?”
However, she did not put this into her mind and asked Jin Rou, ”Those claims of my disciple, are those true?”
”Who knows?” Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders. He knew that this old lady, whoever is right or wrong, would definitely side with her disciple. After all, Jin Rou already had seen through this old lady's inner heart.
Hearing this, the crowd watching sucked a mouthful of cold air. They did not expect that this young man would not give the old lady any face! This nonchalant answer was like he was challenging the authority of this old lady! Of course, some of the spectators knew who was this old lady.
Yun Hihi shouted, ”You dared to disrespect my master right inside of our tower!? Surely you have tons of guts there!”
”Yun, enough.” the old lady gestured using her hands to stop Yun Hihi, she glanced at Jin Rou with such depth and said, ”Young man, I do not know who you are, and as much as possible, I would not want to let this worsen. So I want you to take a step back and view the sky. The world is vast, and so the sea. You will not be hurt if you hold your high horses for a while.”
These words were pleasing to the ears but it held a threat right inside of it!
Hearing this, Jin Rou could not help but chuckle, ”Really?”
He paused for a moment and continued, ”Why take a step back if you could just step forward? As long as you have the power to back it up, then just do as you please.”
Jin Rou revealed a very mysterious smile which caught by the old lady.
This confidence.. was enough for everyone from the crowd adore him!
The old lady revealed a smile also and said, ”Oh? Looks like you are quite confident.”
She added, ”Pardon my late introduction, I am one of the High Elders of this Alchemy Tower, Ma Han.”
As the crowd heard this, they were stumped as they heard the name of this lady. The most of the crowd could not help but exclaim,
”Holy! It is really Master Alchemist Ma han?!”
”Ma Han?! The rumored alchemist who was just a step away from the 5-star Master Alchemist?!”
”Yes! It's her! Never did I expect to see her here!”
