Chapter 1435 “Head Alchemist of the Celestial Palace (4)”

In the convening hall of the Celestial Palace, the gathered Keepers were all showing various kinds of faces due to the fluctuating emotions in their mind. This was especially true for Keeper Yellow who went up against his grumpy counterpart.

“What is Ruo Xi doing? Even if Yue Shishi crushes on the Lord it’s not her business to say those things. Now look at what’s happening. Yu is definitely not going to keep supplying us with his Dan pills at this rate.” Pausing to glare at this grumpy counterpart, Keeper Yellow gathers his patience less he explodes: “And you Keeper Ling, you’re so old already, how could you not know better? All of us here know how much Yu loves that girl to the point he takes as her grandchild.”

There’s good reason for the finger pointing here. Unlike the gathered elders in this hall, Healer Yu was the only one capable of concocting alchemic pills of the fourteenth grade in this whole palace, and it’s not a guarantee each time either.

Keeper Ling’s expression also darkened as he huffed a grunt: “Then are you expecting me to sit back while Ruo Xi is being bullied, is that what you want?”

A sense of awkward embarrassment filled Keeper Yellow’s face over the rebuke: “I also cherish Rou Xi, but this dispute is completely unnecessary. With the calamity so close, our strength is also very important and must be taken into account regarding the overall situation.”

In other words, he’s accusing Keeper Ling of not considering the whole picture and offended Healer Yu out of self-interest, costing them a major opportunity to get the much needed supplies for the impending fight.

“Can you all say less, we have enough on our tables as it is.” Keeper Zun frowns and stops them all, “This time it’s clearly Ruo Xi who’s in the wrong first. Out of consideration for everything and to placate Yu’s anger at us, we will need her to put up with the grievance and keep the girl away from Shishi for the time being. Also, Keeper Ling, I want to remind you Shishi’s body have always been weak and frail. If your strike really did land on her, do you think she would be fine? Even if she lived, she would be bedridden for good because of that. You need to be more cautious next time.”

This time there were no rebukes from the grumpy elder. He knows the matter was partly his fault for being so rash. In fact, he’s starting to regret the matter somewhat.

……

Outside the gathering hall, Yun Ruo Xi’s been quietly listening in on their conversation like usual. However, her expression had grown ugly and disgusted after hearing what they wanted her to do. It’s like someone pulled a hand into her chest and wrung at the heart, making her twisted and grotesque along the face.

Based on what? Why should I be wronged? When have I ever been wronged since I came to the Celestial Palace? That never happened even back when Bai Yan was here!

Heaving a long breath to calm her unstable emotions, the old witch turns and left for the outside in anger, never once looking back.

I’m going to let them know that Yue Shishi can never be compared to me! They will pay for this, they will all pay!

……

About the same time that was occurring, Yue Shishi the sickly lady was currently sitting inside a laboratory type of room, her face anxious and impatient while staring at her grandshifu.
