The Eternal Supreme

Chapter 60: Why Didn’t You Inform Me Earlier?

Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation?Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Meng was a little dumbfounded. When did alchemists become so accommodating? He still remembered that he had once asked Liang Wenyu to help him refine a second-grade medicinal pill, and besides promising to pay a large sum of money, he had prepared all the materials himself. Even so, he waited for more than a month before Liang Wenyu was free to help him.

Yunxiao refused, “It’s too much trouble, and Jia Rong is easier to command. Please help me call him out, Master Liang.”

Easier to command?

Ji Meng, “…”

He was sweating all over and thought to himself that this boy really did not know the height of the sky. Fortunately, Liang Wenyu was in a good mood now. But, if this boy pushed things too far, he would soon be kicked out of here.

Liang Wenyu was struck dumb, too, and he said hesitatingly, “This… don’t you think this is not so appropriate?”

Yunxiao’s patience was wearing thin. “I’ll ask for the last time…Do you want to help me call him out or not?” he said coldly.

“This…” Yunxiao’s tough attitude startled Liang Wenyu. He did not expect this boy to show so little respect to him. Ji Meng and Lu Yao, on the other hand, were sweating profusely.

Yunxiao nodded slightly and said, “Fine. Ji Meng, let’s go!” He turned and left.

Liang Wenyu felt a little angry, but he was relieved at last. Suddenly, he heard Yunxiao, who had already reached the door, say, “I can’t do anything to Xiao Qingwang’s injury anymore. Let him come to the Alchemist Association himself.”

“What? Xiao Qingwang’s injury?”

Liang Wenyu understood at once. It was then that he remembered Yunxiao once claiming at the banquet in the palace that he could cure Xiao Qingwang’s injury. In that case, the reason he wanted to refine the medicinal pills was…

“Hold on!”

With beads of cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, Liang Wenyu ran forward and grabbed Yunxiao’s arm as he said nervously, “Young Master Yun, I’ll call Jia Rong out right now! Even if he’s in a life-and-death meditation, I’ll drag him out!”

If Xiao Qingwang’s treatment was delayed because of him, the king or President Xu would skin him alive, not to mention Xiao Qingwang himself!

“This…don’t you think this is not so appropriate?” Yunxiao put on a worried look. “Jia Rong is cultivating in seclusion, so we better not disturb him rashly.”

Liang Wenyu felt his head reeling; those were exactly his words just now. He smiled bitterly in his head and blamed himself for messing around with a kid.

Ji Meng was shocked when he heard their conversation. He naturally knew about Xiao Qingwang’s injury, which could not be treated with all the efforts of the entire state. Could Yunxiao have a way of treating him? But, how was that possible? He immediately pushed this absurd idea out of his mind, telling himself that it must be something else.

Liang Wenyu said seriously, “Commander Xiao’s injury directly affects the future of our state. In the whole state, only Young Master Yun has the ability to cure him. I’ll call Jia Rong out right now!”

Ji Meng, “…”

Grabbing Liang Wenyu, Yunxiao touched his own forehead and said, “I think it’s better to forget it. I suddenly feel under the weather. I’ll come back when I’m better.”

Liang Wenyu’s face turned green. He quickly gave Lu Yao, who was standing next to them and completely stupefied, a look for help. The gaze woke Lu Yao, and she quickly collected her wits as she walked forward and took Yunxiao’s hand while speaking with a smile, “Young Master Yun, it’s all my fault! I know you are a generous man, so can you please forgive me? Please?”

To be able to work as a waitress in the Alchemist Association for several years, Lu Yao was quite capable. In addition, her appearance was lovely and charming. As soon as she spoke, she immediately made everyone feel comfortable.

Yunxiao slapped himself on the forehead and said in surprise, “Eh, I was having a headache just now, but it is gone as soon as Lu Yao spoke. How strange!”

“Great! It’s good for you to recover!” Liang Wenyu said awkwardly and gave Lu Yao an approving look.

Looking at Yunxiao’s smiling eyes, Lu Yao felt a warmth in her heart as she thought to herself, ‘He won’t even give Master Liang face, and yet he is willing to soften for me. He must have taken this opportunity to help me. With this incident, Master Liang now owes me an indirect favor, which means my status in the association will certainly improve in the future.’

Ji Meng was so baffled that he did not know what to say anymore. He only felt that the Liang Wenyu in front of him was different from the one he had known before. The one from before was cold and arrogant, but this one was so warm and generous. However, he also knew that this was completely different from person to person. He could only say that Yunxiao’s status in Liang Wenyu’s heart was much higher than his…

He felt quite aggrieved. He was the deputy commander of the State Guardian’s First Unit, who was considered a pillar of the state. Compared with him, what had this wastrel young master achieved?

The four soon arrived outside Jia Rong’s room. Every alchemist could apply to the association if he wanted to cultivate in seclusion. Upon approval, the alchemist would be given an alchemy room with auxiliary arrays and a large number of Primordial Stones.

“Call Jia Rong out now. I’m in a hurry. I’ve been delayed by you for a long time.” Yunxiao folded his arms over his chest and said indifferently.

Liang Wenyu smiled bitterly, feeling that Jia Rong would lose his temper this time. Any alchemist who was disturbed during his cultivation would be furious. However, in order to refine medicinal pills for Xiao Qingwang, he had no other way. He thought he would give Jia Rong some compensation after this.

“Lu Yao, go and get Jia Rong out,” said Liang Wenyu.

Lu Yao froze for a moment, her forehead covered in cold sweat. “Ah? Me?”

She did not dare to disobey Liang Wenyu’s order, so she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and stepped forward gingerly. There was a small calling array on the door, which was inlaid with a lower-grade Primordial Stone. The array only played a role of amplification, so a lower-grade Primordial Stone was enough to last a hundred years.

Lu Yao nervously pushed the Primordial Stone down and then said in her softest, loveliest, and most attractive voice, “Master Jia, there’s something that needs you to come out of your seclusion.”

It became very quiet outside the door. Lu Yao’s palms were covered with sweat, and she was ready to bear Jia Rong’s anger. Liang Wenyu was also a little nervous.

About ten minutes later, the door flung open with a bang.

A gust of strong wind blew out of the room and a figure followed. Immediately after that, Lu Yao screamed as she was knocked flying away by the figure.

Bristled with anger, Jia Rong rushed out of the room and grabbed Lu Yao’s neck with one hand, lifting her against the wall as he roared, “Bit*h! How dare you disturb my cultivation! Do you realize how important it is to me! I’m just one step away from becoming a second-tier alchemist! Just one step away! But now, it’s all ruined by you! Killing you won’t even be enough to get rid of my hatred!”

“What? Second-tier?” Liang Wenyu was horrified as he felt the energy fluctuation emanating from Jia Rong. “How long has it been since the last breakthrough? How can you possibly break through the second-tier so soon?” he blurted out in disbelief. “But this energy fluctuation…Heavens, this is indeed the fluctuation of breaking through the second-tier! How is this possible?”

Fuming, Jia Rong turned around and stared at Liang Wenyu as he snarled, “So you are behind this, Liang Wenyu! Is it because you know I’m going to break through into the second tier that you deliberately come to mess around?”

Frightened by Jia Rong’s monstrous killing intent, Liang Wenyu sucked in a cold breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat. ‘I’m finished!’ he thought. No one would have expected that Jia Rong was making a breakthrough for the second tier. If he had known, he would not have disturbed him even if the sky was indeed falling down, let alone for the reason of treating Xiao Qingwang. ‘This is going to be messy…’ His heart was filled with remorse. He gave Yunxiao a resentful look and said, “Young Master Yun insisted that we call you out. I had tried to stop him many times, but I couldn’t convince him.”

He simply closed his eyes and put all the blame on Yunxiao. ‘Who asked this boy to not know any better and even pressure me with Xiao Qingwang! Well, now he has gotten himself into trouble. Interrupting an alchemist’s advancement is a terrible crime! I’ll see how this boy bears Jia Rong’s anger. Oh, only that I am dragged into this…’

“Yun… Young Master Yun!”

Jia Rong’s pupils constricted. Only then did he see Yunxiao and Ji Meng standing at the side.

Ji Meng, too, had a nervous look on his face. He was ready to act at any time. Although Jia Rong was only an ordinary warrior, he had a distinguished status, so Ji Meng could only defend passively and dare not really hurt him. Yunxiao, on the other hand, had an indifferent look as he said leisurely, “Yes, I’m looking for you. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

Liang Wenyu snorted coldly in his heart. ‘Hmph! How dare you say like that? Let’s see how you will suffer!’

Jia Rong’s grip on Lu Yao’s throat loosened as his face began to recover its composure. But only a moment later, he was angry again, trembling all over as he pointed at Lu Yao and roared, “Since Young Master Yun is here, why didn’t you inform me earlier? Do you know how precious Young Master Yun’s time is? How could you keep Young Master Yun waiting for so long? I think you must be tired of working here and wish to be fired!”

Lu Yao, “…”

After roaring, he quickly put on a smiling face as he trotted to Yunxiao’s side, then bowed and said, “Young Master Yun, it’s all these workers’ fault. If I knew you were coming, I wouldn’t have cultivated in seclusion!”

This…

What was going on here?

Everyone felt their heads spinning as if they were dreaming!

Yunxiao said lightly, “No, this is not right. You are making a breakthrough for the second tier, and now it’s all ruined. Killing me won’t even be enough to get rid of your hatred!” That was what Jia Rong told Lu Yao just now, and it was now repeated by Yunxiao.

Jia Rong gave his own head a slap and said smilingly, “Oh, I was merely making a breakthrough for the second tier, and I can do it again at any time. Well, look at my stupid head, it chose the wrong time to make the breakthrough. It deserved to be slapped!”

The others finally could not stand it and all fainted… contemporary romance

Ji Meng looked around him. If he had not known Liang Wenyu and Jia Rong, he would have thought he was in the wrong place.

Liang Wenyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, “Jia Rong, you… you are making a breakthrough for the second tier!”

Jia Rong glared at him and said, “There are plenty of opportunities to do that. We should be broad-minded so that we can go farther on the road of alchemy.”

Liang Wenyu felt a little stuffy in his chest and said hurriedly, “Take it as I never said it. Young Master Yun, I’ve already called Jia Rong out for you. I have something to deal with, so I’ll take my leave now. If you need anything else, you can just tell Lu Yao.”

Shaking his head, he turned and left, not knowing whether he was upset by Yunxiao or Jia Rong.
