Chapter 41 (2/2)

Kang Lu immediately retracted his gloomy cold gaze when he noticed Fang Lin turn around to look at him. He lowered his head and refused to look at him anymore.

Fang Lin’s lips curled up. Kang Lu, why haven’t you given up by now? I wonder what kind of wicked idea you have on your mind.

As the lesson began, everyone listened attentively. Fang Lin paid attention for a while before he got bored, so he notified Xu Shangao before he got up and was about to leave. The elder giving the lecture frowned upon seeing that because he was annoyed.

“Hold up. The lesson has just begun, yet you are leaving already?” said the old man in black with a deep voice.

Fang Lin stopped walking. He turned around and looked at the old man. He said in puzzlement, “Are you talking to me, Elder?”

The group of people suppressed their laughter. ‘Fang Lin, you are truly something!’ they all thought to themselves.

The old man’s face turned pitch black in rage upon hearing that. He scolded, “You’re the only person standing up about to leave here. Could I possibly be talking to someone else?”

Xu Shangao tugged at Fang Lin’s sleeve gently to signal him not to cross the elder.

Fang Lin did not wish to cause trouble either. He cupped his hands together before his chest at once. “I’m sorry for being impolite. I have some matters that I really need to attend to. Please forgive me, Elder.”

The old man did not have the slightest intention to let Fang Lin off after listening to his explanation. “What’s the matter? Is it more important than attending the lesson?”

Fang Lin heaved a sigh and said, “Elder, this is the rule of the alchemy lecture hall. The disciples are allowed to leave midway. Why are you making things difficult for me, Elder?”

As soon as those words were spoken, the old man’s expression became even more thunderous. Fang Lin’s tone of speech could be described as being passive-aggressive when he used the alchemy lecture hall’s rule to argue with him.

“Very well. You may leave if you must. However, if I ever see you attending lessons here after today, I shall expel you from the lesson and I won’t lecture you anymore,” said the old man coldly.

Fang Lin waved his hand to dismiss the threat since he did not care about that in the slightest bit. He turned around and left.

Infuriated, the old man slapped the stone table in front of him heavily while glaring at Fang Lin’s departure.

Fang Lin walked out of the alchemy lecture, not taking the matter that just happened to heart. He began strolling around the Yellow Building casually. After a while, he arrived before a side hall labeled ‘Alchemy Prescription’.

“I think this is where alchemy prescriptions are stored. However, I don’t think that I can get in.” Fang Lin looked at the side hall and saw a fine radiance flickering over the door. That was how he distinguished that the place was guarded by an enchanted array.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a woman walking over all of a sudden.

Fang Lin was instantly stunned when he saw her. He had a rather astonished expression on his face.

The reason behind his bewilderment was the woman’s unusually exquisite appearance. She was as beautiful as a fairy maiden. She made everything else under heaven dim in the brightness of her beauty just by standing there.

Fang Lin questioned himself and came to the conclusion that he had seen plenty of exquisite women in his past life. However, despite his rich experience, he could not manage to recall any women in his past life that could compare to her.

Dressed in a royal suit, she was pure and spotlessly clean. Her long, black hair hung down loosely behind her back akin to silk. Her black hair formed a bright contrast to her delicate complexion which was as fair as snow.

While Fang Lin was caught in his momentary daze, the woman in the white dress approached him.
