Chapter 230: Gathering (2/2)

”I could put you in the second one, but that would mean you will have to show the different recipes you got from the corpse, and I don't want to do that right now,” Ma Rong said.

”I see. Alright, master, I will do as you say,” Alex said while nodding. He could be said to be above average in terms of speed in making pills, but he was nowhere near the fastest amongst his peers according to his master.

He flew with his master and landed directly in front of the Elder's hall. There he saw about 11 different disciples and a few elders standing around.

”Hmm… are the 3 not here yet?” Ma Rong asked. Just as she said that a voice came from behind her. ”We're here. Sorry, we took a while. Hmm… are the other 2 not here yet, sect leader?” an older man asked.

Alex looked at him and felt like he saw him somewhere before, but didn't know where. 'That face looks so familiar,' he thought. Next to the older man was a girl with blonde hair in ponytails who was looking around with playful eyes.

Her eyes fell on Ma Rong and she quickly greeted her. She then switched her eyes to Alex and was puzzled for a second before she realized who he was.

”Ah, you are the sect leader's new disciple, aren't you?” She said in surprise. It seemed that she was in the knowhow about the sect leader somehow.

Alex was a little surprised. A girl he had never seen before suddenly knew who he was. He looked at her robes and realized that she was a core disciple as well.

'I don't remember interacting with her before, have I?' he gave a confused look as he thought about the girl, but couldn't remember anything.

Even without eidetic memory, he was sure that such a lively girl with a not bad face and child-like attitude would be hard to remember. He was about to ask his master who she was when she instead talked first.

”Yu Ming, greet the First Elder,” Ma Rong said. ”He is Lang Shun's father, Lang Luoyang.”

”Ah, good morning First elder. It is really nice to meet you,” he said with a slight bow. 'Martial uncle's father? No wonder he looks so familiar. They practically have the same face.'

He then turned to his master, waiting for her to introduce the lively girl as well, but instead, she just looked at him in confusion.

”What?” she asked.

”Umm… who is she? She seems to know me, but I don't remember ever meeting her,” Alex said with his spiritual sense.

Ma Rong nearly face-palmed herself. ”Don't you interact with your fellow disciples or what? How come you don't know her?” she asked.

”Umm… master, I usually spend my free time learning alchemy and remember that I have been absent for the last 2 weeks and a half?” he said.

”Sigh, I understand,” she said as she looked at the girl and said, ”My disciple doesn't seem to know you, introduce yourself, Fanfan.”

”Oh,” the girl said in surprise and then proceeded to introduce herself.

”Hello, My name is Fan Ruogang, you can call me Fanfan.”
