Chapter 2024: Discovered something

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

He Lan’s smile was faint and there was not a noticeable change in her expression even as she smiled. However, He Lan knew that she was satisfied.

“Turning fire into her cauldron yet still able to produce a pill of this rank at such a fast speed. How about it, I didn’t speak in error, did I?” This was the first time that he was so cocky because of a disciple.

“Passable.” He Lan said, “However, she’s not too familiar with her methods. Without continuous efforts, she will not be able to rise to the ranks of a Great Master.”

“Isn’t that why I’m letting you teach her.” Lu Yan said.

“Hmph.”

It was a simple huff, but it was proof that she had agreed.

He Lan thought about it, then said, “When I head back, I’ll let them take her in.”

“No way!” The one who spoke was still Lu Yan.

“What’s wrong?” He Lan glared at him, extremely displeased at how naggy he was.

“She’s my disciple, but you want someone from the younger generation to take her in? Wouldn’t I be one rank lower than you then?” Lu Yan rejected her, “If you want her, then you take it. Otherwise, don’t!”

“Lu Yan, you jerk!” He Lan was so incensed that she almost flung the teacup in her hand at him. Her mythical aura immediately turned to rage.

Even Sima You Yue pursed her lips. How did she never realise how annoying her Master was before? Or should she say that he became this way in front of her?

Suddenly, didn’t it feel like she had discovered something? She blinked her eyes, deciding not to say a word.

Lu Yan wavered under her rage, but he refused to budge on this point.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to take her in or not?” Lu Yan’s attitude was really stretching it.

“You’re forcing a disciple on me”! He Lan refuted.

“She’s such a talented individual. Those below you would never be able to teach her.” Lu Yan said, “Even if you let them come, she’ll just exceed them. At that time, you will still have to step in personally. Why go through all that trouble?”

“You have too much confidence in her!” He Lan didn’t believe him.

“Oh? If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. How old she is, what rank she is, what she knows.” Lu Yan said, “All I’ve said was not just bluster. I said that they won’t be able to teach her anything, and they really won’t. Instead of letting them lead her astray, she might as well remain here to learn sound attacks.”

“Didn’t you not allow her to enter the Alchemy Sect?”

Didn’t they already say that she would focus on studying sound attacks?

“Aren’t you the General Sect Elder? She can go to learn from you once in a while. Whenever you have the time, you can also come here to teach her.”

Sima You Yue lowered her head and looked at her skirt, trying to make herself invisible. She lifted her head a little to peek at Jing Fu, who looked like he deeply regretted not leaving earlier.

The two of them exchanged glances, and their gazes were both filled with helplessness.

Finally, He Lan did end up accepting Sima You Yue as her disciple. However, she said that they would have to set a date to officially hail her as a master, so she had to go back and make preparations.

Once He Lan left, Jing Fu hurriedly took his leave. Sima You Yue and Lu Yan were the only two left behind.

“Master, do you have a very close relationship with Sixth Elder?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Ohhh-”

She dragged her reply, and it was impossible for Lu Yan not to know what she meant. He said a little distractedly, “Her skills with alchemy are excellent. You…”

“I know, I will learn well from her. In the future, Master, ifi you need me to speak well of you just let me know. You just have to teach me those tunes of yours as well.”

“Sima You Yue, you’re really daring aren’t you?” Lu Yan put on a serious expression in an attempt to mask his guilty conscience.

“Master, I’m timid. I get scared easily.” Sima You Yue threw his own words back at him. When she saw Lu Yan being shamed into anger, she said, “Master, if you have no other instructions, I’ll take my leave and head out.”

Lu Yan wanted to say something else, but when he saw her curious expression that was just waiting for him to say something else, he couldn’t continue.

No matter what he said, wouldn’t they all transform into something else to her? That was why he might as well not say anything.

“Go ahead. If anything happens with the Beast Tamer Sect, I will get someone to inform you.”

“Understood, Master. Your disciple will take her leave.”

Sima You Yue released a few scarlet bees after she left. The bees flew two rounds around her before heading over to the Beast Tamer Sect.

She could imagine Qing Cai drinking that additional ingredient, and that picture was so beautiful that she dared not picture it.

“The grudge with the Beast Tamer Sect is set. Oh, well it would be the same even without this. At least I’m happy now!” She returned to her courtyard happily.

In the Beast Tamer Sect, Qing Cheng and Qing Shi’s face were deathly ashen. Those standing beside them did not even dare to breathe too loudly.

Ou Yu Ling took out two pills and said, “This is the antidote that I have made following her methods. She said that the method was correct, so just try feeding this to Qing Cai.”

“Are we really going to try it?” Qing Shi could nor bear to let his own child suffer such a travesty.

Ou Yu Ling was upset now and she put the bottle down on the table, saying, “If other methods worked, would we have ended up here?”

“Bring him over, then prepare two bowls of…” Qing Cheng didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant. Hence, they immediately got someone to prepare urine while someone else went to call for Qing Cai.

Qing Cai was still in his courtyard at this moment, faced with four half-naked women, who were smiling coquettishly at him. However, it didn’t rise at all!

He smashed all the things on the table in frustration, and those women were frightened as they all knelt on the ground.

“Scram- Scram- Useless trash!” He roared after them.

These women were his favourite dancing concubines, but no matter what they did, his little brother would not react. He wanted to look for Sima You Yue to make her pay, but every time he thought about it, his mind would be filled with that terrible scene, and he would immediately go weak.

However, he really missed his past days!

The four dancers hurriedly left, afraid that he would change his mind and kill them all!

“Young Master, Sect Vice-Master and Fifth Elder have returned. They have retrieved the antidote and are inviting you to go over.” The servant called out from the main gate.

“They’ve got it?” Qing Cai’s eyes shone as he immediately jumped up from his seat. He rushed hurriedly to the great hall and even cried out loudly before he entered the door, “Father, Grandfather, have you really obtained the antidote?”

Qing Cheng saw his grandson and his eyes turned gentle. When he thought of what happened, his hatred for Sima You Yue intensified again.

“Cai’er, this is the antidote. This is the medicinal catalyst. Once you’ve eaten the pill, drink this and your poison will be cleared.” Qing Cheng said.

Qing Cai walked to a seat and sat down. He saw the two pills prepared for him along with a bowl of yellow liquid. He smelled the foul smell and his eyebrows furrowed together, “Did I not eat this before? Why have you brought this again? And this bowl. Is it filled with urine?”

“This is your medicinal catalyst. Just close your eyes and drink it all.” Qing Shi said.

“Father, Grandfather, do you really want me to drink this? No way, I won’t drink it. I’d rather die than drink this!”
