CHAPTER XXI

The pale yellow paper lay on the fine tapestry, and the white fingers slid lightly over the paper unconsciously, as if to show that the owner did not need anyone else to disturb his thoughts now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But alas, the rare silence didn't last long, and there was an uninteresting knock at the door.

This made the fair-skinned and graceful hand pause, and poked at the paper with a little dissatisfaction, and then the charming female voice sounded calmly: "Come in." ”

Hearing the voice coming from inside, the man standing outside the door walked in with his head down, not daring to raise his head to look directly at the red-clothed beauty sitting above, but humbly reported everything he knew: "Master, that little young master has already left, and he has not made any superfluous moves. ”

"Oh, it looks cold, but it's a very conformist child. The beauty in red smiled: "Should I say, is it really his father's son?"

The man who stood with his head bowed buried his head deeper, as if he had not heard his master's words.

Pouting with a bored face, the red-clothed beauty once again cast her eyes on the pale yellow paper in front of her, stared at the name of the dragon flying phoenix dance in the lower right corner, and said leisurely: "When I snooped in the hall, I almost thought I was wrong." I was still thinking about how to contact this child, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself. ”

The man at the bottom hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Doesn't the master want to cultivate this little young master?" So, is it necessary to gamble in three days?"

"No, I'm just here to see what kind of son that man had had from marriage with another woman. The beauty in red interrupted him, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "After all, it was the only collection I couldn't buy back then, although I don't want it anymore, but it's okay to meet his son when I'm bored and see the potential of this child." ”

Her fingers tapped on the piece of paper, and said nonchalantly: "We are not opening a good church, we will do what we want in three days, if this kid can't get what he wants, then he can only say that he is useless." Well, after three days, you can teach that kid what it means to be a person outside of people. ”

After saying this, the woman in red did not continue to dwell on this topic, but just ordered some other trivial matters, and walked out of the room with the man.

......

In an inconspicuous alley several streets away from the casino, Zheng Yan walked out of the shadows, although the expression on his face remained calm, his eyes were like eternal ice and snow.

He glanced back in the direction of the casino with a blank face, and then walked in the direction of his home without looking back.

"No wonder I always felt that woman gave me an uncomfortable feeling, listening to what she said, was it a little bad with my father when I was young or something. Although it seems that it was just a frustration with my dad and then trying to get back from me...... Tsk, the fox spirit is a creature that makes people want to kill people in a minute. ”

Zheng Yan, who didn't feel that his reaction to the fox spirit was subtly different from that of ordinary people, silently scolded in his heart, and then as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but smile gloatingly.

"When Mom and Dad come back from Taihang Mountain, tell them about it, I haven't seen Dad being punished for kneeling on the washboard for many years. ”

irresponsibly made a veritable decision to cheat his father, Zheng Yan spread out his palms, looking at the yellow paper ball that was crumpled by himself, the expression on his face was trance-like, making people feel that a large amount of black qi was constantly coming out from behind him: "Teach me what it means to be someone outside the human body?" Do you think you are Daozu Hongjun?"

Who's face hurts more when you see it!

In the next three days, Zheng Yan didn't worry too much about this matter, and still cultivated at his own pace and in an orderly manner.

The only difference from before was that he gave up on the idea of using that casino as an ATM, and he didn't bother to wait for the game to end, but went straight to the doctor he was in charge of when he was in the hospital.

Fortunately, he saved the lives of an entire hospital in the attack of alien beasts, and when he heard that he wanted to buy some medicinal materials, although the doctor kept looking at him with the eyes of a layman, how can you learn alchemy if you are not a layman, but he still provided him with raw materials.

In his opinion, this is mostly a child's whim, and after touching the wall a few times, he will recognize the reality, and know that geniuses can't break the routine in everything.

As for the money for those medicinal herbs, he didn't care about it. After all, whether it is Zheng Yan's parents, Lin Yue, or even Zheng Yan himself who lives a few more days, it is impossible to lack this money.

Then the next morning he was slapped in the face.

“...... You said this is the elixir you refined yesterday?"

Looking at the neatly arranged medicine bottles in front of him with a blank expression, the poor attending doctor couldn't help but rub his eyes, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he turned his head to Zheng Yan like a dream and asked.

"Well, these pills are just fairly ordinary healing pills, and the difficulty of refining them is also very low, so it was completed in one night's effort. Zheng Yan, who was sitting opposite, seemed to not know how shocking his words were, and sighed in distress: "It's a pity that the rarer pill raw materials are not so easy to find, otherwise I wouldn't have hit this pill with my mind." ”

The doctor twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at the medicine bottles again, and then said to Zheng Yan in a rare earnest voice: "I know that all geniuses have the strength to not admit defeat, but alchemy is such a thing, even if it is a genius, it is helpless to reach the Qi Realm." ”

Zheng Yan was a little confused, "Ah?".

No, this finished product is placed in front of the doctor, why does he have to tell himself that if he is not in the state of qi, he is helpless?

Does he think I'm running away from reality and refusing to accept reality?

Sure enough, the doctor looked at him with a blank expression that he hadn't reacted to, and said a little sadly: "I know you are arrogant, but even if you are a genius, it is normal for you to not learn alchemy before the Qi Realm! There is no need for you to numb yourself with a pile of useless dregs!"

...... Really.

Silently twitching the corners of his mouth, Zheng Yan raised his hand helplessly, stopped the doctor's preaching, and said with a slight sigh: "Doctor, is it a medicine residue, don't you know if you open the bottle and take a look?"

Although I know that the doctor has good intentions, such kindness is really unbearable......
