“Third brother, about this…” The Second Elder wanted to say something, but he really didn’t know what to say. They also knew Tian Kui’s personality. It was indeed not bad. If Feng Yun gave him the medicine, why did she have to hurt him? This was what they were most confused about. It seemed that if the Third Elder investigated this matter, they wouldn’t be able to defend her so easily.

“Third Elder, you’re right, but there must be a reason for what happened. Third Elder, why don’t you ask Hua Ling what she promised me that day and how she went back on her words? I didn’t want to save him at first. After all, they had nothing to do with me.”

The Third Elder’s face couldn’t help but darken a few times, but Yun Feng didn’t care about him and continued, “Since the other party was unfaithful, I certainly wouldn’t keep my promise.”

“Hahaha! Well said!” The Fifth Elder suddenly burst into laughter. The Third Elder’s eyes immediately flew over like a sharp knife, but the Fifth Elder shrugged and said indifferently, “Third Brother, you don’t have to look at me like that. She’s right. If any of us saw a seriously injured person, would we take out a bottle of master-level potion to save them? How would that be possible? Besides, she had nothing to do with Tian Kui at that time. It’s impossible for her to help a stranger. That’s normal.”

“Humph!” The Third Elder snorted fiercely. The Fifth Elder said again, “Tian Kui was seriously injured like that. It only shows that your disciples were useless. Tian Kui didn’t care about the consequences when he did things. If Feng Yun didn’t appear, what could they do? Third Brother, don’t blame others.”

“She isn’t your disciple yet, but you can’t wait to protect her.” The Third Elder sneered, but the Fifth Elder didn’t care. It was impossible for the Third Elder to accept Yun Feng. With Yu Jin’s matter and Tian Kui’s matter, even if the Third Elder was willing to accept Yun Feng, she might not agree. The Third Elder also knew himself well and knew that he had no chance, so his attitude towards Yun Feng wasn’t as warm as the other four.

“Didn’t Feng Yun say it just then? Hua Ling must’ve made some kind of promise that she couldn’t deliver. She tricked this girl into giving out her potion, and then went back on her words in the end. Is that what happened?” The Fifth Elder smiled at Yun Feng. Yun Feng had quite a good impression of this cheerful little old man. Perhaps because they were both summoners, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

“Indeed. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself.”

“Alright, Third Brother, I don’t think you’re going to pursue the matter. Besides, hasn’t Tian Kui almost recovered right now? Let’s just let the matter go.” The First Elder also said. The Third Elder raised the corners of his mouth. “I didn’t intend to pursue the matter to begin with. I just said one sentence, but you’re all eager to protect her.”

The few elders all smiled. Yun Feng stood there and wasn’t complacent because the few elders were intentionally biased. She wasn’t shocked at all. This was a kind of calmness in her mind.

“I’m not done yet. I brought back twelve Golden Cauldron Trees from that cave. What I didn’t tell you is that someone had already poached ten Golden Cauldron Trees before I arrived.” The Third Elder said in one breath. The other elders immediately wanted to ask the Third Elder to shut up when they heard the mention of the Golden Cauldron Tree, but it was already too late. Not everyone was qualified to know about the Golden Cauldron Trees. The five elders didn’t tell any outsiders except the few disciples they cared about. Now, the Third Elder mentioned everything in front of Yun Feng. What exactly was he doing?

“Third brother, why did you say that?” The First Elder was a bit upset and he immediately scolded him. The other elders also looked unhappy, but the Third Elder chuckled and looked at Yun Feng. “If I’m right, you were the one who took those ten Golden Cauldron Trees away, weren’t you?”

After hearing this, the room fell into silence. The other four elders all glanced at Yun Feng at the same time in shock. She poached ten Golden Cauldron Trees? This little girl was too generous!

Yun Feng’s eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that the Third Elder had dug out all the remaining Golden Cauldron Trees. He was truly greedy. The reason why she didn’t dig out all of them back then was certainly for the survival of the Golden Cauldron Trees. Everything had a purpose and couldn’t be destroyed wantonly. So, she dug out ten and left twelve. She didn’t expect the Third Elder to catch up and take away all the remaining Golden Cauldron Trees.

Anyone else would’ve taken all twenty-two Golden Cauldron Trees away without hesitation and wouldn’t have thought about leaving one or two behind at all. The Golden Cauldron Tree was something that many people dreamed of. They certainly had to take as many as they could. It was truly rare to see someone like Yun Feng. So, after thinking carefully for a long time and confirming that Yun Feng took the Golden Cauldron Trees, a question came. Why did she only dig ten and not take all of them away? Could it be that she could only take ten? Or was there another reason?

“Third Elder, what do you mean? What’s the Golden Cauldron Tree you’re talking about?” Yun Feng raised her head and looked at the Third Elder in confusion. The Third Elder was stunned. Was it not her? However, how was that possible? If what Hua Ling said back then was true, it should be her!

“Third brother, are you senile? How old is Feng Yun? How can she have seen the Golden Cauldron Tree?” The Fifth Elder shouted in dissatisfaction. “Even if she was lucky enough to see it, she might not know that it’s the Golden Cauldron Tree. Besides, even if she came out of that cave, it doesn’t mean that she took them away.”

“How would a master-level pharmacist not know what the Golden Cauldron Tree is?” The Third Elder didn’t give up. Right now, he desperately wanted to confirm if Yun Feng was the person who took the Golden Cauldron Trees. If she was, she must know how to make the Golden Cauldron Tree produce the Golden Cauldron Fluid!

“Girl, just tell me the truth,” said the Fifth Elder to Yun Feng. However, Yun Feng had other thoughts in her mind. It seemed that Hua Ling and the others had told the Third Elder the detailed situation. The Third Elder was a smart person. He was certain that she took the Golden Cauldron Trees. The reason why he was so anxious to confirm right now was that he definitely didn’t know how the Golden Cauldron Fluid was produced. Thinking of this, Yun Feng smiled in her mind. She certainly couldn’t let him know about this method, or there would be endless trouble in the future. She didn’t want to volunteer for the Juxing School. She would leave this place sooner or later, and Yun Feng certainly wouldn’t hide the Golden Cauldron Trees. She wanted to send it to the headquarters of the Yun family. The Golden Cauldron Fluid would also be very helpful to the Yun family. If these old guys knew that she had ten of them here and knew the method, they would definitely ask her to take them out. By then, it would be difficult.
