Chapter 46 (2/2)

The people in the nearby alchemy rooms stuck out their heads to check out what was going on. Some were watching the scene in displeasure, but they retreated back to their rooms in fear when they noticed Yuan Bo’s presence. They were afraid that they would bring trouble upon themselves. Two to three disciples had no fear of Yuan Bo, so they continued watching for fun.

“This is getting interesting. Someone is actually daring enough to occupy Yuan Bo’s alchemy room!”

“I wonder who is that courageous. Yuan Bo isn’t a man to be messed about with.”

“The person is going to have a hard time. Yuan Bo’s beating is more than just the ordinary savagery.”

“I think the person is terrified too. He must be hiding inside now.”

“Heh heh. He may be able to hide for a while but not for a lifetime.”

…

Numerous alchemy sect disciples gathered and began discussing the situation at once. Many people sympathized with the person hiding inside the alchemy room while some thrived on schadenfreude and just wanted to watch the scene for fun.

Kang Lu hid in the midst of the crowd, feeling rather smug in his heart. At the same time, he anticipated the scene where Yuan Bo would mercilessly beat Fang Lin up.

Meanwhile, an elder came upon receiving the news. He demanded while frowning, “What’s going on? Who’s causing trouble here?”

When he looked around and noticed that the person scolding and cursing aloud was Yuan Bo, he felt troubled at once. No one wanted to be get involved with Yuan Bo the bully. However, it was inevitable now. The middle-aged elder could only walk over and look at Yuan Bo unpleasantly. He asked, “What are you doing here?”

Yuan Bo showed no fear when he saw the elder. “Some naive idiot has occupied my alchemy room. I’ve cornered him now, so he’s afraid that he can’t get out.”

There was no need for Yuan Bo to explain himself because the elder was aware of the situation too. However, he did not have the capacity to settle this matter. Even if he wanted to, there was nothing he could do.

“So, it’s best if you can keep it to yourself and not disturb the others. Is that okay?” the elder responded.

Yuan Bo pursed his lips, appearing oblivious to the elder’s words.

The elder felt helpless, so he said to the disciples who crowded around them, “Scram! What are you trying to do by standing around here?”

Quite a lot of people scattered away, but some remained standing in the distance to watch the exciting scene.

“Elder Lu, what do you have to say about this matter?” said Yuan Bo while sneering.

Elder Lu lowered his voice to speak at once when he noticed that most of the disciples had left, “Can’t you please calm yourself down for a moment? Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Yuan Bo scoffed once and said, “I’m not the person looking for trouble this time. It’s the boy inside who’s not behaving himself. My alchemy room shouldn’t be occupied by anyone so casually. If the boy refuses to come out today, then I shall block him tonight as well. I’ll stay until he comes out.”

Upon listening to his words, Elder Lu felt disconcerted. He cursed and scolded in his heart. ‘Which naive fool is this? Why did he go into Yuan Bo’s alchemy room anyway? Tell me, boy, are you looking for trouble for yourself?’

Yuan Bo cracked into a cold smile. He had no fear for any elder because his father was an elder of the alchemy sect too. Moreover, he had a close relationship with the first elder. It could be said that Yuan Bo could do anything he wanted in the alchemy sect without suffering severe consequences as long as he did not commit any murder or arson.

There was nothing Elder Lu could do, thus he could only shout at the person inside the alchemy room, “You inside, come out now! ”

Upon saying that, it was all pin-drop silent. On the other hand, not a squeak was heard from alchemy room number nine. It was as if there was no one in the room at all.
