137 A Kind Pill (2/2)

Wang Baole was also stunned. He tilted his head to look at Zhou Xiaoya, and it was as though he had just met her.

The surroundings went quiet, and even Vice-Chancellor Gao Quan seemed to forget his pain. He had a complicated expression when he looked toward Zhou Xiaoya. The Chancellor also went silent, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he gazed at Zhou Xiaoya with strong admiration.

The Alchemy Pavilion elder was silent for a long time. It was as though Zhou Xiaoya's words made him think of a certain person. After a while, he let out a soft sigh, and his stern expression became kindly. As he gazed at Zhou Xiaoya, he suddenly spoke.

”You believe in kind pills—that is very rare and commendable… Zhou Xiaoya, you no longer need to address yourself as student. If you are willing, you may address yourself as disciple, in front of me!”

As he spoke, the surrounding crowd were all extremely surprised. Wang Baole was also surprised. Meanwhile, Chen Fei only felt her world getting darker; she staggered, and her face went extremely pale.

”Ah?” Zhou Xiaoya was rooted to the spot and seemed a little flustered. She looked at Wang Baole subconsciously.

Right at that moment, the Alchemy Pavilion elder stood up while laughing and smiled at the Chancellor beside him.

”Old Lu, I'm going to take this girl away and accept her as my final disciple. Will you let me?”

The Chancellor chuckled and got up as well. He was happy for Zhou Xiaoya and even more excited. He knew the status of the elder standing in front of him. That elder was one of the four elders of the Alchemy Pavilion. In the path of Alchemy, he had a huge reputation throughout the entire Federation.

With that thought, the Chancellor looked toward Zhou Xiaoya with encouragement. ”Xiaoya, greet your master!”

Wang Baole was also extremely happy and quickly nudged Zhou Xiaoya. It was then that Zhou Xiaoya reacted. Although she was still a little dazed, she was not a fool and quickly stepped forward to bow to the elder.

”Master, accept my greetings as your humble disciple, Zhou Xiaoya!”

The Alchemy Pavilion elder chuckled, and with a swish of his sleeve, he actually brought Zhou Xiaoya along and stepped on air, heading directly toward Upper Academy Island. From start to finish, he never looked at Chen Fei, nor did he ever bring up the reward.

What cultivation realm is he at to be able to step on air like that? This scene made Wang Baole narrow his eyes.

The shocked crowd all looked toward Zhou Xiaoya in the sky. That was especially so for the Alchemy faculty students, who looked on with envy. As for Chen Fei, she went pale and collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, Zhou Xiaoya's shouts and the elder's laughing voice sounded from the sky.

”Wang Baole, please don't disturb Xiaoya for a period of time. She needs to train in seclusion. I will get her an eight-inch Spirit Root. If you don't train hard, she might even surpass you.”

”Brother Baole, wait for me to come out of seclusion. I'll go look for you…”

Gazing at the pair, who were getting further away, Wang Baole smiled. He was happy for Zhou Xiaoya, and just as he was about to leave, he noticed the Chancellor glaring at him. So, he scratched his head and released his grip on Gao Quan's hair.

”You've already been promoted into Upper Academy Island. Why are you still so rash!” The Chancellor glared at Wang Baole.

Wang Baole was slightly awkward. He lowered his head to look at the indignant Gao Quan, coughed, and patted the shoulder of the shivering Gao Quan.

”Old Gao, keep doing fewer bad things and more good things in the future. Understood?

”Chancellor, I just remembered about the Dharmic Artifact that I'm halfway through refining. I'll take my leave first…”

With that, Wang Baole quickly shook his body and jumped into his cruiser. He left the Alchemy faculty rapidly and headed straight for Upper Academy Island.

Sending Wang Baole off with their gazes, the surrounding crowd looked at one another, and the Chancellor was also helpless. Knowing it was a misunderstanding, he finally looked at the indignant Gao Quan and sighed.

”Gao Quan, you…” He wanted to console Gao Quan but did not know where to start. Finally, he gave Gao Quan a bottle of pills and left while contemplating about changing his Vice-Chancellor.

Only Gao Quan was standing there in anger and sorrow. He wanted to cry, but no tears fell, and the indignation that he felt in his heart spread toward the heavens.

I was wronged!
