Luo Lie hurriedly returned home, and raced to find Luo Ba. He knew he was not as clever as his elder brother; if he allowed Luo Ba to handle things, they would cause the greatest strike to Ling Han.

“Brother! Brother!” he called out, panting heavily. The descendants of important n.o.bles like them would not usually remain in the Academy. The conditions for cultivation were even better in their own home, and they merely had to go to the Academy once every five days to attend a lecture.

He recounted what he had previously witnessed.

When Luo Ba heard all he had to say, he immediately erupted into great laughter. “Ling Han, Ling Han, this time you’ve fallen into my hands. Just see how I will deal with you!”

“Brother, what do you plan to do?” Luo Lie quickly asked. He, too, bore a deep-seated hatred towards Ling Han.

Luo Ba thought for a moment, then said, “A thief must be caught red-handed. Have someone stand guard, and the next time Ling Han appears, we’ll catch him together with his loot!”

“Brother, that guy might have seen me. Perhaps he would switch to another place to sell off the alchemical pills next time.” Luo Lie was still quite clever.

Luo Ba nodded, and said, “We’ll prepare for both eventualities. We’ll wait until just before this month’s monthly a.s.sessment, and if we still have yet to catch him red-handed, then we’ll directly tell on him. Anyways, with that shop a.s.sistant as a witness, Ling Han would similarly not be able to escape punishment!”

He hummed for a while, then said, “For this matter, we have to request Seventeenth Clan Elder’s help. He is an elder by rotation of the Northern Inst.i.tution, and with his cooperation, it would not be difficult to execute Ling Han for this crime!”

“That’s right, he has to die!” Luo Lie exclaimed with bloodshot eyes. He, the honourable young master of the Luo Clan, had actually been beaten onto the ground and forced into submission; what great humiliation was this? As long as Ling Han was still alive, he would not be able to sleep soundly at night.

Luo Ba smirked coldly; merely the sale of alchemical pills was not enough to cause Ling Han to lose his life. After all, the latter was a Four-Star genius, and that was something rarely seen in history. However, rules were still rules. With Seventeenth Elder stepping out to exert pressure and turning the small matter into a big one, it would be enough to expel Ling Han from the Scarlet Heaven Academy.

Furthermore, without the backing of the Scarlet Heaven Academy, what would a little cultivator of the Shattering Void Tier from a small world be worth? A careless stomp and he would be dead.

“To actually dare to steal the limelight from me… This is the price!” Luo Ba’s eyes shone with a cold light. The first one was Ling Han, and the second was Ma Xing. He would deal with both of them.

Unfortunately, though the power of the Cheng Clan was not on par with the Luo Clan, Cheng Haofei was not someone that he could just deal with as he desired, so he could only spare him. Otherwise, he’d eliminate all three!

Meanwhile, Luo Lie was satisfied with just dealing with Ling Han. He snickered maliciously, and was impatient to see the scene in which this great enemy of his would be trampled underneath his foot.

When Ling Han returned to the Academy, he just happened to b.u.mp into Li Weiwei and Ji Yun’er. The first batch of food ingredients was completely sold out, and had been sold off for a total of 36 True Origin Stones. Ling Han gained half the share, which was 18 True Origin Stones, whereas Li Weiwei and Ji Yun’er each earned nine True Origin Stones.

In truth, this could actually be considered a great sum of money. One had to know that even if Ling Han and Ji Yun’er were two of the top three prodigies, they were each only given two True Origin Stones from the Academy, so it could be seen how valuable they were.

Li Weiwei was even more pleased. Although she definitely did not lack these nine True Origin Stones, they were earned with her own effort, which made her extremely happy.

“Oh, right. You’ve already missed two cla.s.ses with Big Sister Shui. Big Sister Shui is very angry, so you can just wait to be killed!” Li Weiwei said, delighting in his misery. Cooperating with Ling Han to earn money and being unhappy with Ling Han were two different things.

To mess with Ling Han was a thought that had never vanished from her mind.

Ling Han sighed. He had been busy with concocting alchemical pills these few days, and he still had to concoct alchemical pills for a few more days. No matter what, he would have to finish off the medicinal ingredients he had just bought, right? Furthermore, for the sake of earning money, he could only concoct alchemical pills. Who asked him to be born without a father who was the Left Minister, or a mother that was the Right Minister?

After the two women enjoyed a meal, and played around with the big fat cat, they took a whole spatial Spirit Tool’s worth of food ingredients each and left. They did not ask how Ling Han’s spatial Spirit Tool was so big, and how much stuff was actually stored inside.

After all, neither of them was foolish.

Ling Han once again began to concoct pills. In 200 years of his last life, he had been an alchemist, and this ident.i.ty had seeped deep into his bones.
