Chapter 112: Are You Stupid?
For the disciples of the Yanwu family, both Xiao Ruoshui and Shen Hao were legendary figures, geniuses who would eventually have the chance to practice in the headquarters of Huangzhou State. They were idols for countless people, individuals they felt they could not reach.
Shen Hao was currently clasping his fists in respect to Yun Yi, but no one found it surprising or unbelievable because what stood between Shen Hao and Yun Yi was the title of Medicine Pill Master.
Leaving aside their strength, when it came to Alchemical Technique, Shen Hao and Yun Yi were not even in the same league; there was no comparison at all.
"Brother Shen, you are too modest. I was just lucky."
Yun Yi returned the greeting by clasping his fists.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Hao smiled; there was no such thing as luck in alchemy, especially for a perfect pill, which could not be made just by chance. Moreover, it was Yun Yi’s first time refining a pill, which was an enormous blow to many Medicine Pill Masters.
Yet behind this blow, there was great admiration.
In one corner of the Martial-arts Arena, Yuan Zhongshan also witnessed the entire pill refining process. Yun Yi’s performance made his face even darker and intensified his murderous intent.
"He must not be given the chance to grow any further."
Yuan Zhongshan clenched his fists, knowing very well that Yun Yi had established his position today. Such a rare talent must be eliminated quickly; otherwise, it would bring great trouble in the future.
At that moment, Xiao Liufeng approached Xiao Ruoshui and said, "Miss, today Yun Yi has restored our Yanwu family’s honor and made a huge contribution. His achievements cannot be erased. Such a unique talent should be cherished and nurtured. In my view, should we cancel the plan to send him to Jade Wheel City?"
Xiao Liufeng had always been troubled by the idea of sending Yun Yi to Jade Wheel City to deal with Pan Hong; it was a mission that seemed like a death sentence, and how could Xiao Liufeng not be worried?
However, because Yun Yi had indeed made a serious mistake yesterday, combined with Yuan Zhongshan’s relentless attitude and the task and punishment set forth by the young lady, Xiao Liufeng had no choice but to accept it, even if he was unwilling.
Today, Yun Yi achieved great success and rose to become the most famous Medicine Pill Master of the younger generation, even surpassing Xiao Liufeng in alchemy skills. In Xiao Liufeng’s eyes, this achievement was enough to offset yesterday’s mistake, and the plan to send him to Jade Wheel City could also be canceled.
"No."
As soon as Xiao Liufeng finished speaking, voices of opposition immediately sounded from the crowd.
Yuan Zhongshan walked confidently to the center of the square and bowed again to Xiao Ruoshui.
"A task is a task, and a mistake is a mistake. The mission to Jade Wheel City was personally announced by the young lady. As the Chief Steward of the family, she cannot change her orders on a whim and make people feel unsatisfied."
Yuan Zhongshan said loudly; no matter what, he could not allow Xiao Ruoshui to cancel the task. This journey to Jade Wheel City might be the only chance to get rid of Yun Yi. If Yun Yi stayed within the Yanwu family, he would have no opportunity to act and would only be able to watch Yun Yi continue to grow.
Allowing Yun Yi to keep growing would present a huge potential danger; Yuan Hui’s revenge might never be realized in this lifetime.
"Yuan Zhongshan, you are taking this personally."
Xiao Liufeng was very angry.
"I am just stating a fact. Does Elder Xiao want the young lady’s reputation within the family to be affected?"
Yuan Zhongshan firmly replied; he had no other choice. After witnessing Yun Yi’s terrifying talent, he had to find a way to eliminate Yun Yi, even if it meant offending the young lady.
"You…"
Xiao Liufeng was silent, knowing that with Yuan Zhongshan present today, it was impossible to make Xiao Ruoshui cancel Yun Yi’s task to Jade Wheel City.
"Haha, a small place like Jade Wheel City won’t make me, Yun Yi, back down. Such a minor issue won’t affect the young lady’s reputation. I’ve decided to go to Jade Wheel City, and I’ve accepted this task. Even if the young lady wanted to take back the order, I wouldn’t agree."
Yun Yi laughed heartily. Jade Wheel City was a challenge for him, and he enjoyed challenges and the excitement and passion that came with them. He never planned to cancel his trip to Jade Wheel City because of today’s achievements.
Moreover, Yun Yi did not want to put Xiao Ruoshui in a difficult position. Just as Yuan Zhongshan said, if Xiao Ruoshui showed favoritism towards him and canceled the trip to Jade Wheel City, it would indeed affect her reputation in the Yanwu family.
It’s like an imperial edict from Yun Country; as a ruler, once an edict is issued, it cannot be taken back.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Yun Yi with admiration. This man was becoming more interesting to her. There were many talented disciples in the Yanwu family, but none had ever caught Xiao Ruoshui’s eye in the same way. This young man, who just arrived two days ago, kept surprising her, making it impossible not to pay attention to him.
"Good, you have a sense of honor."
Xiao Ruoshui praised. She rarely complimented others, but Yun Yi made her have to acknowledge him.
All the disciples in the square looked at Yun Yi with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
They had never heard the young lady say something nice about any disciple before. Though her words were simple, they were the highest praise.
In the Yanwu family, there were two most difficult things for the younger disciples: one was to earn a kind word of praise from the young lady, and the other was to make Duan Tianye agree.
From yesterday to today, these two impossibilities were both broken, all because of the arrival of a young boy.
"Yun Yi, going to Jade Wheel City was your mistake, and this is my punishment for you. Today, you have outperformed Ouyang Mo, not only restoring the Yanwu family’s honor but also bringing glory to our Xuanzhou State. As the Chief Steward, I want to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"
Xiao Ruoshui said.
There was another wave of envy in the square; to receive a personal reward from the young lady was a great honor and a dream come true.
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Since the young lady said so, I won’t be polite. I don’t need any other rewards, just give me that Wash Marrow Pill."
Yun Yi pointed to the Wash Marrow Pill in Xiao Liufeng’s hand; it was the first medicine he had ever made, and it was very meaningful to him. This Wash Marrow Pill, at its best quality, would be the most effective for his current level, capable of refining his essence and even helping him advance a level.
If Yun Yi’s cultivation level reached the fifth grade of the Innate Realm, going to Jade Wheel City would be much safer.
"Damn, are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liufeng nearly fainted with anger and kicked Yun Yi’s backside, "What a great opportunity! You should treasure it. This Wash Marrow Pill is made by you; it belongs to you! Do you think I would take it?"
