Chapter 1432 “Head Alchemist of the Celestial Palace (1)”

Before Yue Shishi could pull herself together and get back up, she was promptly alerted to a loud and infuriated voice from the rear.

“Outrageous! Yue Shishi, how dare you order your maid to attack Ruo Xi? She only had good intentions in mind, why are you so narrow sighted?! Do you think Healer Yu can protect you forever?” Coming forward was none other than Keeper Ling, the grumpy old elder who hated Bai Yan the most.

This Yue Shishi is getting over her own head. Who does she think she is? The Lord would never take her considering her status. And because of her own small heart, she’s blaming Rou Xi for her own sickness? Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!

“I didn’t…” Yue Shishi falls into a panic at the outcry. Biting her lip like she’s aggrieved: “It’s her, Rou Xi said my grandfather died and won’t ever come back. It’s… it’s not related to the Lord….”

“Why are you framing me like this Sister Shishi?” The old witch makes her eyes all red like they’re read to cry, “I can never say something cruel like that. Keeper Ling, you have to believe me, I would never say something bad about the Celestial Palace. Senior Yue is a respected man, I would never….”

The sickly lady openly gawked her mouth there. She wants to dispute this some more and expose the lying witch, but this level of shamelessness simply left her stunned and lost for words. As a result, the old grumpy keeper took this as a sign of guilt and firmly believed the false story.

Noticing the spiraling situation as well, Yue Shishi began to stammer and loses her stance, “I-I really didn’t….”

Slowly closing her eyes, the lady knew she’s stuck now. Whatever she says, it would only trap her some more.

“Miss!” “The maid flew into a rage after seeing how her lady was being wronged: “You shameless woman! You clearly framed my lady, how dare you frame her, you….”

Bang!

Exactly then to silence the loud mouth, Keeper Ling attacked by waving his hand and sending out a shockwave. In an instant, the loyal servant who only wanted to help flew up into the air and slammed into the ground again, causing her to vomit blood like she’s severely injured.

“Quick… go find Healer Yu, only he can save the miss.” Another maid who has kept quiet until now cried out to her peers, who promptly rushed into the palace for help.

……

“Liu Yan!” Yue Shishi cries out, her eyes burning with frustration and anger at having her friend hurt: “Keeper Ling, my grandshifu is the head alchemist of the Celestial Palace. Even if he hasn’t appeared in public for many years, it doesn’t mean he would stand idly by after this. I want to remind you who it is that provides the Dan pills for this place. Don’t you think what you did there will make his heart go cold?”

Sure enough, Keeper Ling went quiet for a while. He knew the underlying threat behind the woman’s word and in fact already held back when attacking. Otherwise, considering his grumpy temper, he would’ve killed the maid already.

“Also, you should know the old saying of one should know who the master is before hitting a dog. You injured my maid, where does that put me here today?”

That finally drew a reaction from the grumpy keeper. Huffing a grunt: “Nothing but a maid. There are no shortages of maids in the Celestial Palace. If you want, I can send you a dozen or so, but…. your maid insulted Ruo Xi, that demands punishment!”
