Chapter 106: Doubt

Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

Yuan Gang repeatedly begged for mercy, yet who would really take to heart such a minor character? In the end, he could only leave in defeat.

The other members of the staff all wanted to break into applause out of happiness. This Yuan Gang was a vile character who had just gotten a bit of success recently, yet was arrogant without limits. They all felt that he deserved this kind of ending!

When Xiao Ying saw Ling Han, Fu Yuan Sheng, and the others disappear around the corner, she could not help revealing an infatuated expression.

A young girl like her naturally did not lack a romantic imagination. However, she knew that there was too big a gulf between Ling Han and herself in terms of status, so she was just fantasizing a bit. Her heart was filled with grat.i.tude, because she had received a personal acknowledgement from Fu Yuan Sheng—her position in this Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion would be unshakable.

For Ling Han, this was only a very small matter, and when he arrived at Fu Yuan Sheng’s study, he had completely put the earlier incident out of his mind. He did not want to waste any time, and so voiced out his intention to “borrow” some ingredients from Fu Yuan Sheng.

Fu Yuan Sheng nodded and waved his hand. Of course, him waving his hand did not mean that he was refusing Ling Han’s request, but that the medicinal ingredients would be a gift to Ling Han instead of a loan.

What a joke, this was a Grandmaster Alchemist. To be able to supply alchemical ingredients for Ling Han was his honor, what need was there for Ling Han to pay them back?

Ling Han did not act modest, and said, “How about this, I will concoct an alchemical pill here, and you all can observe the way I do it.” He had decided to enact a specific alchemist skill. This was far from the level of the “Three Fire Guide”, but would be indescribably valuable to Fu Yuan Sheng and the others.

“Good, good, good. But I would have to ask you to wait for a moment, to allow me to call some other people here to observe, if that’s all right?” Fu Yuan Sheng asked cautiously.

It would be best if there were more alchemists here to observe and benefit from such a great opportunity. They would be able to improve together. Moreover, the more people there were, then the more possible it would be for them to observe clearly that alchemist skill of Ling Han. Afterwards, they’d be able to confirm and double-check with one another, so they would not easily forget any details.

Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan immediately looked a little guilty. The gazes they directed at Fu Yuan Sheng were filled with respect, because they had only thought of themselves just now, and had not even taken others into consideration.

He truly deserved the name of Grandmaster. He was indeed a person who thought of the bigger picture.

Ling Han smiled, and said, “You can, but it would not be appropriate for there to be more than ten people.”

“I understand,” Fu Yuan Sheng hurriedly excused himself and left. Meanwhile, Ling Han began to converse with Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan. Qi Zhan Tai stood at one side, unable to join in the conversation, obviously looking extremely bored. She was currently engaged in a staring contest with Hu Niu.

She saw how Hu Niu was so cute, and so reached forward to pick her up. Yet, because Hu Niu disliked strangers getting too close to her, she immediately bared her small white teeth, revealing a very defensive expression.

“If you don’t want to be bitten, I’d advise you to move your hand away,” Ling Han said to Qi Zhan Tai when he saw this happen out of the corner of his eyes.

“I am in the second layer of Element Gathering Tier. How could she manage to bite me?” Qi Zhan Tai did not believe his advice and instead extended her hand to reach out for Hu Niu at a faster pace.

Hu Niu was enraged. Suddenly, she gave a strike of her fingernails and a bite, her movements exceptionally quick.

“Ah!” Qi Zhan Tai hurriedly withdrew her hand, yet there had already appeared a bite mark on her fair, delicate hand. The pain almost caused her to tear up.

Ling Han picked Hu Niu up to prevent her from taking advantage and pus.h.i.+ng on with her attack. He laughed and said, “Even I have been bitten before. You, at the level of the second layer of Element Gathering Tier, are really not that much.” He turned back round and said to Hu Niu, “This is a friend, don’t bite her again.”

Hu Niu held onto Ling Han’s neck, tilted her head and continued to stare at Qi Zhan Tai, her stare still ferocious.

Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan could not help but ask about Hu Niu’s origins. When they found out the whole story, they were truly amazed, and felt that this little girl was indeed extremely fortunate. Even after dropping into a tiger’s lair, she had still managed to survive to such an age.
