Chapter 393 “Something’s Wrong (2)”
“Okay, then all of you take your time.” Turning back to the other members of the family, the old grandpa makes a timely cough to dismiss them all, “Come on now, let’s not disturb them while they work. It’s getting late anyways so turn in for the night.”
With that said, Old Lord Lan then turns away towards the door with his hands behind his back like a proper senior. As for the rest, since the family chief already said it then what else can they do?
In a matter of seconds, the entire treasury hall was emptied with only four people remaining.
“Yan Yan, you see,” nervously rubbing his hands, Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) carefully asks, “I’ve already succeeded in refining….”
But before the Third Elder could finish that sentence, Bai Yan had already taken out a formula sheet from her pocket to toss it over.
“I have written the details of the refining method in there as well as the parts that require extra attention. In order to avoid having you three blow up the place again, I will lend you my cauldron first while you practice.”
When hearing how there’s a new recipe to be had, Qiu Shu Rong’s (Third Elder) eyes instantly lit up. Sadly for him, in the moment where he wanted to reach out for the precious paper, Ren Yi (Second Elder) had already pushed him aside to snatch up the thing.
“Move aside, the formula is mine. I’m first!” The Second Elder greedily declares.
Naturally this annoyed his younger brother who just got his new toy taken away from him: “Why do I have to give it to you first? Who the heck are you?”
“I am the second child so that means I get to be on top of you. Besides, your strength is the worst among us. Once I learn this new formula then you can have a shot at it. Oh yes, didn’t you hold a fancy for the Sixth Elder’s widowed sister? Go play with her for now and not come bother me.” Ren Yi (Second Elder) righteously says this.
“Ahumph,” it was then Zheng Qi (First Elder) cuts in with a cough, his voice stern and serious, “My age is the biggest of us all. Reasonably speaking, it should be I who…”
“Scram!” But before the First Elder could even finish that sentence, the other two brothers had already shot him down with their own glare.
As if anyone would care about seniority when the formula is in hand? So what if he’s the First Elder? If the two of them joined hands then he can only stand there and take the beating!
Seeing how the three elders are about to get into a big fight over her little sheet of paper, Bai Yan can only say she’s too embarrassed to even let others know about this: “Couldn’t you just copy that into three?”
Her voice may be soft and quiet but it was more than enough to knock some senses back into the trio.
