Chapter 323 - The Future Is Ours (2/2)

Yan Fu nodded, taking first a pill for Huangpu Qingtian, then he and the rest went to nurse the other three.

Huangpu Qingtian nodded at Yan Fu’s meek figure.

[The kid has good eyes to know who gets the first pill.]

But then Huangpu Qingtian sighed over the biggest worry, letting Zhuo Fan escape. It would be hard looking for him in the wide expanse of Beast King Mountain.

Huangpu Qingtian scowled and took out a jade slip.

It was the last jade slip Leng Wuchang gave him, warning him repeatedly to never open it unless he ran out of options.

The state he was in wasn’t just out of options, even with a thousand ways he still wouldn’t have anything remotely good he could use. With Zhuo Fan’s cunning, the same trick wouldn’t work twice.

Not to mention he had no clue where to even begin the search.

Sighing, Huangpu Qingtian paused in hesitation then ultimately read the jade slip.

[Just what could Sir Leng have prepared in this late hour. What ingenious trick could we use?]

Finished reading the jade slip, his eyes shined and he laughed, “I see it now. Sir Leng is a true mastermind to take even that into account. Ha-ha-ha, Zhuo Fan, no matter how sly you are you shall never escape my grasp!”

“Eh? A Brimming Sacred Pill?”

The faint sound behind him caught his undivided attention.

Huangpu Qingtian whipped his head to see Yan Fu trembling and facing away from everyone. The excitement got to him as he shouted, “Yan Fu, what are you doing?”

“Uh, n-nothing.” Yan Fu stiffly turned around to show a painful smile while hiding his hand behind him.

Squinting, Huangpu Qingtian said coldly, “What are you holding? Show it to me!”

Sweating buckets, Yan Fu hesitated for a long time before putting on a smile and presenting a storage ring with both hands, “Congratulations, eldest young master. I found the Brimming Sacred Pills, all four of them!”

“Where?” Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes shined as he snatched the rings. Emptying them, he was looking at four vials in his palm, the Brimming Sacred Pills.

Yan Fu pointed at an arm soaked in blood, “I took it from that arm. I thought…”

“Isn’t that Zhuo Fan’s arm?” Huangpu Qingtian stared Yan Fu down, “You found it quite fast and even knew it was his. Were you perhaps watching our fight, waiting for the right moment to steal our things?”

“Eldest young master, I would never even dream of it!” Yan Fu fell to his knees in fear.

“Wouldn’t dream of it?” Huangpu Qingtian had a sinister smile as he eyed the four vials, “Then how do you explain the missing seals from all four of the vials? Did you plan on switching the pills, is that it?”

Huangpu Qingtian used Discerning Field on the spot, only relaxing when he found the genuine goods in the vials.

Yan Fu was scared to death and pleaded, “Eldest young master, please, I only wanted to confirm they were real. As an alchemist I just couldn’t help but want to see an 8th grade pill.”

The hard stare was making him sweat buckets. Huangpu Qingtian spoke, “Listen here, leave the other’s possessions alone for now. The only items you are ever allowed to use are those I give you. You aren’t even allowed to look, understand?”

“Y-yes, I shall take it to heart, eldest young master!” Yan Fu bobbed his head.

Grinning, Huangpu Qingtian gave a pleased nod. Then he turned to the somewhat recovered trio and showed them the pills, “See that? I told you. All the pills I lost will one day return to me!”

“Brimming Sacred Pill!”

The three perked up.

Huangpu Tianyuan was moved. He was worried that the rotten bastard would only go after one, but instead he had obtained all four. With such a fortune, he, the Estate Lord, would surely get one as well.

The smile had yet to reach his eyes as he watched Huangpu Qingtian share the three pills with his allies.

The three looked at him puzzled.

Huangpu Qingtian snickered, “Take it and let’s go hunt down Zhuo Fan together!”

[What?!]

The three were stunned.

The Brimming Sacred Pill was as rare as it got. Yet Huangpu Qingtian was just going to hand it over? Huangpu Tianyuan went slack jawed.

[Since when is that brat so generous? You should keep them to yourself when it counts the most. If you ever feel like being generous, do that in your own house, not with some brats!]

Snorting, Huangpu Qingtian could tell what they were thinking and said, “Remember this well. The future of the world is ultimately ours!”
