”Fifth Uncle, since we're talking about unrelated persons, shouldn't you take a look around yourself first? I don’t recall those rando” Wei Jie’s countenance was displeased, and his frosty words pointed directly at Wei Tiantong
According to the houserules, as the son of the current house lord, Wei Jie was the heir and thus had the right to attendwas second-in-command, he was not technically a candidate for house lord In the unforeseen event of the house lord's incapacitation, the second-in-command could only take over temporarily before the successor was decided As such,the second-in-coh Wei Tiantong had the right to attend the houseas well, one couldn’t say the same for his son Wei Xiu
Despite this, it was custoht his son to everyBecause of Wei Tianxiao's lack of opposition, no one else was in a position to criticize hi into account the current situation, Wei Xiu's presence became a blemish
”What do youPill Master Yu here Don’t I qualify to be here?” Wei Xiu threw a dirty look at his cousin
”Inviting Pill Master Yu? Who sent the invitation? I don’t remember an invitation from the lord of the house to any such person,” Wei Jie s, Wei Xiu was no 's face darkened, and he looked straight at Wei Tianxiao ”House lord, I only invited Pill Master Yu out of the desire to contribute to the house Surely he shouldn’t feel unwelcome and unwanted? In recent years, our lackluster performance in the arena of pills has wholly failed to live up to our title as a ninth-ranked aristocratic house I almost become mad orry whenever I dare think about it My acts are for the good of us all, should I be shamed because of it?”
The speech both appealed to the listeners and attacked Wei Tianxiao's lack of ability It implied that he was to blame for the poor perforood name
”Ole Fifth, why not take a seat first? You’ve always liked to raise a clahty already, who kno overbearing you'll becos are settled?” Wei Tianxiao's voice was disinterested, taking the insult in stride
”House lord, I’hty How can I help it if House Wei's pill business is doing poorly? Rather, I think I a chuckled, squarely sitting down on his seat with a flourish Wei Xiu laugheda place to sit down behind Wei Tiantong, well aware of his place He looked towards Jiang Chen i to stir upman's intent at once, and coldly intervened ”Cut the chatter Pill Master Zhen here is a pill king that both the house lord and young master Jie have invited We were just about to discuss pill-related affairs with him It is your own fault that you arrived late The plans that Pill Master Zhen drafted just noere quite enticing, and I have full confidence in his ability to bring House Wei's pill business back into the spotlight of Farmer God Market”
A pillwas stunned The presence of this new pill master was an unexpected twist to his plans But when he recalled Pill Master Yu's abilities, he settled back into his chair with a sneer ”Pill Master Zhen? Where is he from? He looks quite unfamiliar Is there so deliberately spoke with exaggerated surprise
”I haven't heard of him either, surely he can't be a co performance surpassed his father's in hyperbole
Wei Tiantong's elder confidante piped up as well ”Elder Zhi, at your age, you shouldn’t be tricked by a charlatan If pill kings were really this easy to find, House Wei wouldn't have spent so o senile, how could I old enough to be tricked? So you're allowed to invite a so-called pill master, but we're not per?” Wei Zhi interrupted coldly
”Really, a real pill king? We should all take a close look Pill Master Yu, they think that we're the counterfeits, and that he’s the real thing,” Wei Tiantong roared with laughter
”Everyone kno to brag,” Pill Master Yu was expressionless as he responded distantly
Not wanting to waste ti Chen set to the main topic”
”Yes, we shall proceed without further ado Everyone, please take a seat,” Wei Tianxiao nodded, his snored, but he knew that he could overlook the slight The first thing he did after taking his seat was glance see's direction The two elders in question kept their heads down There was hardly any response to his gaze What, are these two old coots playing at being honorable? When thea sneer, Wei Tiantong cussed silently to hi found both Elder Zhuo and Feng quite grating He retained some courtesy with therasped the reins of power in the house, he would discard the them around if they weren’t fully obedient?
With everyone seated, Wei Tianxiao knocked lightly on the longtable ”As Elder Zhi has mentioned already, we invited Pill Master Zhen today because he desires to collaborate with us Pill Master Zhen is a second rank pill king with a lot of potential It is excellent news for our House Wei”
