Chapter 295: He is... (2/2)

”Where did you guys go? You were gone for the entire day. You guys didn't even come back once, and now you turn up late. Did you know how worried we were?” Ma Rong said with an angry face.

”Master, we can explain,” Alex said.

”Go on, explain why you were gone for so long,” Ma Rong said

”Umm… the thing is… ” Alex went on to explain how they went to the alchemy hall to make new pills.

”So, you didn't think to leave on time?” Ma Rong asked.

”No, we did leave on time Sect leader, but then he appeared out of nowhere and we couldn't leave sooner,” Fan Ruogang said.

”He? Who is he?” the second elder.

”Umm… we think he was… the Royal Alchemist,” Zhou Mei replied.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes perked up and they looked at the 4.

”You guys met the Royal Alchemist?” Ma Rong asked.

”We're not sure. We think so from the comments he made,” Alex said.

”How did he look? Why was he there? What comments did he make? Explain everything,” Ma Rong said.

Alex proceeded to explain everything he remembered from the comments about the composition and structure of the pill to his height, so him calling Ma Rong 'Little Ma' and etc.

Ma Rong was a little surprised. ”Sigh, it seems you really did meet him. Alright, I will excuse you guys for today. If you don't want to be punished, you better keep track of your time from tomorrow onwards. I can't have the best disciples of my sect disappearing on my watch,” she said.

”Yes, Master” ”Yes, Sect Leader,” the 4 of them said at once.

”Good, now you can go,” she said and let them pass on. The 4 of them went to their own rooms and closed the door.

The Third Elder looked at Ma Rong and said, ”I can't believe the kids got lucky enough to meet with the Royal Alchemist himself. Even I have never seen him.”

”Yeah, it's hard to spot him. He likes to change his appearance from time to time, so it's impossible to recognize him by his looks. It seems he is opting for a young face this time,” Ma Rong said.

”Haha, they got to learn something from the Royal Alchemist himself. It's not every day that happens. They really did get lucky,” the Second Elder said.

The other elders also talked in small voices surprised about the disciples meeting the Royal Alchemist.

”Alright, let's forget about this. Call everyone to my room. It's time for the meeting.”
