Chapter 165 - Purple-gold Divine Fish (2/2)

Tantai Ling’s attack had been too deadly. If Ye Chen had not used the Celestial Chi of the Flying Dagger in his body to help Little Wingsy control the injury, Little Wingsy would have already died. However, Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi could only help Little Wingsy recover slowly. It was impossible to completely cure his injury in one lifetime.

‘I’ll make Purple-gold Divine Fish soup for Little Wingsy later and see how it works!’

The group of people tidied up and returned the fishing gear to the golden-armored imperial guards, and set foot on the way home.

Master Apothecary Xuanyi, Ye Chen, Li Xu, and Little Wingsy walked in front while Lei Yi, Hao Feng, Yan Cheng, and all the registered apprentices followed behind.

Looking at Ye Chen’s back, Lei Yi’s face darkened as he remained silent.

“Senior Brother Lei, are we really going to let that boy Ye Chen eat the Purple-gold Divine Fish alone?” Hao Feng glared at Ye Chen. Behind him was the number one martial arts family in the Xiwu Empire. ‘What’s the big deal about Donglin County’s Ye Clan? If Ye Chen refuses to obediently give me the Purple-gold Divine Fish, I’ll destroy his entire clan. If I gave this Purple-gold Divine Fish to my clan, who knows how many combatants will be created?’ Hao Feng’s heart was burning.

“In Xuan Pavilion, the Master has the final say. As long as Ye Chen remains in Xuan Pavilion, we won’t have any opportunities to act!” Yan Cheng piped up.

“Why don’t you two Senior Brothers disclose the news to your clans?” Hao Feng schemed. If the clans behind Lei Yi and Yan Cheng moved, the Hao Clan might not receive the biggest benefit. However, it was still possible for the Hao Clan to get a share.

Lei Yi and Yan Cheng came from the Central Empire and had their clans backing them. Their clans were not considered top forces in the Central Empire, otherwise, they would not need to study alchemy under Master Apothecary Xuanyi. However, their clans were like giants if placed in a small country like the Xiwu Empire.

Lei Yi glared at Hao Feng and said, “It’ll take at more than a year for a horse at full gallop to get here from the Central Empire. Do you think that the Purple-gold Divine Fish will still be with Ye Chen then? It’ll either be moved or eaten. Are you suggesting we let him eat the flesh and we eat the bones?”

“Is there no one from the Lei Clan in the Xiwu Empire?” Hao Feng asked cautiously.

“There are only some Tenth Level combatants but with Master around, how will they move?” Lei Yi asked indignantly.

“Senior Brother Lei seems to have some friendship with Taiyi Sword Sect. Why don’t you invite the sect leader of Taiyi Sword Sect?” Yan Cheng asked after pondering.

“If that old fox comes, even if he snatches the Purple-gold Divine Fish from Ye Chen’s hands, we’ll only be able to drink soup!” Lei Yi’s hands clenched into tight fists.

“It’s better than not even having soup to drink. We might as well take advantage of where we can!” Yan Cheng’s mouth curled.

“Let’s see what Mingwu says first.” Lei Yi shook his head. If the Heavenly Venerable Rank combatants came, Master Apothecary Xuanyi would immediately know that they were up to no good. At that point, they might not be able to continue being his disciples.

“Master has always been biased. He used to favor Li Xu and now he’s favoring Ye Chen. We’re also his apprentices. Why can Li Xu get a portion of the Purple-gold Divine Fish but we don’t get any?” Hao Feng pressed insistently. He deliberately left out the fact that the fish was caught by Ye Chen!

Everyone would only speak on behalf of their benefits. In front of benefits, things like “morals” were worth dog sh*t!

Lei Yi and Yan Chen had unpleasant expressions. In any case, they decided that no matter what, they would get a piece of the Purple-gold Divine Fish!

Master Apothecary turned around and looked at Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, after going back, what are you planning to do with the remaining two portions of the fish?”

Ye Chen came back to his senses and pondered. Big forces were backing Lei Yi and Yan Cheng. It seemed like this matter would not be settled peacefully. ‘Who do you think I, Ye Chen, is? They want to pluck a tooth from the tiger’s mouth but there won’t be a door!’

“Master, I’m going to prepare fish soup tonight. Little Wingsy is still young and growing, and in need of nutrition. At that time, I’d like Master and Senior Brother Li to join us as well.” Ye Chen deliberately raised his voice. Lei Yi and the others’ faces turned green upon hearing him.
