“I have already understood the course of events!” Cheng Yuanbai declared as he approached Wuling Zhu. He squatted down and said with a faint smile, “Wuling Zhu, let me take a look at the soul-bewitching drug you’ve been given!”

With that, he lightly touched her wrist with his fingertip, and a drop of essence blood began to coagulate there. Cheng Yuanbai sniffed it and then announced, “The components of this soul-bewitching drug include… Yunshan Bamboo…”

Yunshan Bamboo!

Upon hearing this, the faces of Wu Xuan and Wu Ao changed subtly. Wu Teng, who was screaming in agony, looked bewildered.

Yunshan Bamboo?

So what?

Cheng Yuanbai continued, “Yunshan Bamboo is extremely valuable. In our Qingyun Pavilion, even a first-rank spiritual alchemist is not allowed to claim it. Only a second-rank spiritual alchemist has the qualification to obtain it using their identity badge.”

“The soul-bewitching drug contains Yunshan Bamboo, and Tang Tianyou is merely…” Cheng Yuanbai paused for a moment before continuing, “Tang Tianyou, though young and talented enough to be a common alchemist, does not have the qualification to understand Yunshan Bamboo. Moreover, Yunshan Bamboo is prohibitively expensive on the market. Even if Tang Tianyou went without food or drink for a whole year, he couldn’t afford a single stalk!”

At this point, Cheng Yuanbai’s tone suddenly became stern as he glared at Masters Wu Ao and Wu Xuan, demanding, “What is the real story here?”

This sudden outburst caused both Wu Ao and Wu Xuan to stiffen. As the most powerful spiritual alchemist in Qingyun Pavilion, Cheng Yuanbai was in charge of many significant matters within the pavilion. In fact, he was akin to the deputy pavilion master, and his authority was well-respected.

If the investigation into the soul-bewitching drug continued, it would inevitably lead to the source…

At that moment, a thud echoed through the air.

“Senior Cheng, Senior Cheng, I had nothing to do with this,” Master Wu Xuan knelt down abruptly, his face filled with pleading. “It was Wu Ao. He approached me, saying that Master Lu Ent had already decided to take Tang Tianyou as his disciple.”

“In that case, neither Lingzhu nor Wu Teng would have a chance to inherit Master Lu Ent’s legacy. So he came up with this plan and asked us father and daughter to cooperate.”

At this moment, Master Wu Ao’s face turned ashen as he cursed, “Wu Xuan, you bastard, it was clearly you who approached me to discuss this matter.”

“Wu Ao, are you still denying it?” Master Wu Xuan retorted. “If it weren’t for your foolish son, who chose such a high-grade soul-bewitching drug, how would Senior Cheng have discovered the discrepancy? You are as stupid as your son!”

“Wu Xuan, you…”

“Enough!” A roar of anger resounded through the air.

Master Cheng Yuanbai’s face turned cold as he scolded, “You two have lost your minds. Are you not ashamed enough?”

At this moment, Wu Teng and Wuling Zhu’s faces were also extremely pale. They had been exposed because of the soul-bewitching drug!

However, the most important thing was that this young man named Ye Wushuang was actually related to Tang Tianyou and cared so much about him!

If it weren’t for Ye Wushuang’s appearance, Tang Tianyou would already be dead.

Tang Tianyou, watching this scene, looked even more pale and incredulous as he stared at Wuling Zhu. “Lingzhu, you… you know I have feelings for you. I never intended to compete with you for the disciple position.”

“Humph!” Wuling Zhu snorted coldly. “Who do you think you are? Just a common alchemist, and you dare to think of being with me? A toad trying to eat swan meat!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianyou’s face turned even more ghastly.

*Slap!!!*

At that moment, Ye Wushuang appeared in front of Wuling Zhu and slapped her. Her pretty face turned bright red and swollen, with a few teeth chipping off.

“It is you who is not worthy of being with him!” Ye Wushuang’s voice was cold and stern.

Cheng Yuanbai looked at Ye Wushuang and said politely, “Young Master Ye, what do you think… should be done?”
