"Are you serious?!" Bai Feng said angrily.
"Otherwise what? Do you think alchemists are all made of paper, like cabbages in the field, to be beaten and scolded at will? You're thinking too much."
“If you had revealed your identity in the first place, I wouldn’t have done this.”
Haha! He really knows how to make excuses for himself: "That's not right. Whether I reveal my identity or not, I am still a pill refiner. That's the most important thing. Have you ever shown me even the slightest respect?"
To put it bluntly, alchemists meant nothing to Bai Feng; what he feared was only the power of You Ran Ju.
Goodbye. Remember not to visit Youran Residence again, lest you humiliate yourself.
Ye Xiruo is not a carefree person, and besides, Bai Feng needs to be taught a lesson.
Bai Feng stormed off, saying, "You'd better watch out."
"I'm not afraid of you. Everyone in You Ran Ju knows that I have a grudge and a conflict with you. If anything happens to me, guess who You Ran Ju will suspect first?"
Do you think a dead person is worth Youran Residence worrying about?
"Whether it's worth it or not, you'll know once you try it and see if it's worth it for me, someone who enjoys the highest level of treatment at Youranju."
Bai Feng gained nothing and left in a huff.
"let's go."
Bai Qi's expression also turned somewhat awkward: "This is the child born to my concubine. He is the second young master of the Bai family. Thank you very much for today."
"No need to be polite. He was the one who spoke rudely first and even tried to threaten me." Ye Xiruo would never let someone who walks into the line of fire get away with it.
Ye Xiruo quickly took out her cyan identity token and sent a message. At the same time, all the alchemists in You Ran Ju received the message: "He's been called out! He's been called out! This alchemist seems unfamiliar, a newcomer, and he's so hot-tempered."
They've already hung people up on the very first day. You can't just hang people up at Youranju like that, otherwise, if you run into those eccentric alchemists who hang everyone they see, Youranju would have been smashed up long ago, and how would you do business then?
The compromise that You Ran Ju came up with was to give each alchemist three slots for "hanging people" (a term used to refer to alchemists who have been hired to perform other tasks). Each slot would be used one less, serving two purposes: firstly, to deter martial artists who disrespect alchemists, and secondly, to remind alchemists to exercise restraint and not act recklessly.
Ye Xiruo used one of the spots without hesitation.
"No matter what, you've done me a huge favor this time, and I'll definitely thank you properly."
In no time, Bai Qi's favorability towards Ye Xiruo skyrocketed.
After passing through four corridors, they finally arrived at the east wing. Four guards stood at the door, and upon seeing the white flag, they immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Third Young Master."
"I want to go in and see my father."
"Master has just taken his medicine and fallen asleep. Please do not disturb his rest, Third Young Master."
"Nonsense! Father has been unconscious. I don't know when he woke up."
“After the Third Young Master went out, the Master did wake up and just fell asleep.”
"In short, I don't believe it. I need to see with my own eyes that Father's condition has stabilized before I can feel at ease. What? You still want to stop me?"
Could it be that these people have been bribed by the Wei family? If so, how can Father possibly survive?
"Please don't make things difficult for us, Third Young Master."
"Well, you've got some nerve. Those who defy their superiors will have their cultivation stripped and be expelled from the Bai family. Do you remember that?"
Ye Xiruo tugged at Bai Qi's sleeve: "They're just a few dogs raised by the Bai family. Now they want to bite their master. It wouldn't be too much to kill them."
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Bai family?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you don't forget who you are." Ye Xiruo stood next to Xiu Qiyu: "Brother Xiu Qi, beat them to death. The reason is that they insulted the alchemists of Youranju."
Ye Xiruo now realizes how useful the banner of You Ran Ju is. Alchemists already have a high status, and with the added influence of You Ran Ju, if her strength were even greater, she could definitely do whatever she wanted.
The four people guarding the door of the Bai family patriarch's room were all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. They were enough to stop Bai Qi alone, but if they faced Xiu Qiyu, they would be like chickens and dogs, completely vulnerable.
Xiu Qiyu didn't even draw her sword. After a white shadow flashed by, Xiu Qiyu returned to her original spot, dressed in flowing white robes, spotless and peerless in elegance.
The four guards had already collapsed to the ground in agony: "They are at your disposal now." Xiu Qiyu had only injured them; after all, this was Bai family territory. If he had killed them outright, Bai Qi would probably have had a hard time explaining himself.
"Let's go in and check on Father's condition first. These people will come out and clean up later."
"The Third Young Master injured the guards in front of the Master's room. Is he trying to force his way in and then commit some evil deed?"
That alluring voice, so captivating to the core, was none other than Wei's.
Lady Wei wore a very luxurious gold dress, with light makeup, and was radiant; she was indeed a rare beauty.
“Aunt Wei, it’s best not to say things carelessly. I went to great lengths to invite an alchemist from Youran Residence to treat Father properly. First, my second brother stopped me, then this bunch of scoundrels appeared, and then you showed up, Aunt Wei. Do you think this is a coincidence or a carefully planned conspiracy?” This Wei is really going too far. Her attitude clearly shows that she wants Father to die.
Father's poisoning is definitely related to this wretched woman.
"Besides, as the third young master of the Bai family, what's wrong with disciplining a few wicked servants? When did Aunt Wei become so kind-hearted, even caring about the lives of the servants?"
"It's been a few days, and the Third Young Master's eloquence has improved quite a bit. As for the Master's illness, you don't need to worry about it."
"It's because of you that Father is still unconscious. You think you can just hand the family over to you? The Bai family is not your place to make decisions."
“Aunt Wei, you’ve gone too far.” A tall man who bore a resemblance to Bai Qi rushed over, glanced at Madam Wei indifferently, and then stood in front of Bai Qi.
"Qi'er, if you want to go see your father, go ahead. I'll take care of things here."
"Brother, these few wicked servants almost offended the three alchemists just now. You must deal with them properly later."
"Guards, drag them away, abolish their cultivation, and throw them out of the Bai residence." Wei Tianji's voice was icy cold, carrying a hint of oppressive authority, as he casually decided the fate of the four guards.
"Young Master, we were wrong."
"Young Master, please spare my life!"
"Please, young master, spare our lives."
The four men lay prostrate on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to the pain even as their foreheads were bruised from the blows.
Wei's once stunningly beautiful face was now ashen, a warning from Wei Tianji.
