Chapter 448: The Little Old Man’s Identity (1)
After Leng Ruoxue and the others arrived, they set up their stalls and went about their business.
Leng Ruoxue leaned comfortably in Freak’s arms, hugged Icy, and closed her eyes to take a nap. Zheng En took out the little old man’s record of his alchemy experiences of many years and looked at it carefully. As for Lan Ming, he circled the venue because he was bored and chatted with random people…
“Zheng En, you’re really brazen! How dare you come here!” An ear-piercing voice sounded in the ears of Leng Ruoxue and the others.
Leng Ruoxue still kept her eyes closed and ignored the owner of the voice. Freak didn’t even raise his eyes and completely ignored the existence of this person. As for Zheng En, he only looked up once and then continued to lower his head.
“Zheng En, how dare you. You actually… actually…” Sun Wei couldn’t finish his sentence even after speaking for a long time! He was so angry that he was a little incoherent!
“Where did this annoying fly come from? It’s buzzing non-stop. So noisy!” Leng Ruoxue frowned and opened her eyes in displeasure.
“Damn ugly monster, who are you calling a fly!” Sun Wei roared furiously. His roar attracted the attention of everyone present!
“Is there a need to ask? Is there anyone else here?” Leng Ruoxue said with slight mockery as she looked at Sun Wei like he was an idiot.
“How dare you! Guards! Chase them out!” Sun Wei roared furiously.
Leng Ruoxue smiled lightly and silently looked at Sun Wei as if she was looking at a joke!
“Did you hear me? Hurry up and chase them out!” Sun Wei roared at the staff beside him. He was so angry that his face and neck were red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging!
“Master Sun, I don’t have such authority,” the staff said calmly, the impatience in his eyes flashing for a moment.
“Go call your first elder over. They don’t have the right to stay here,” Sun Wei ordered arrogantly.
“Then, Master Sun, please wait. I’ll go back to the Lan family estate and invite the first elder now,” the staff said.
“Go quickly!” Sun Wei ordered.
The staff looked at Leng Ruoxue meaningfully and then left the exchange meeting venue.
“Alchemist Sun, you’re too arrogant!” Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
“Hmph! Ugly monsters, you will regret offending me,” Sun Wei said with a face full of arrogance. He was the beloved disciple of the Alchemist Association Headquarters’ president. Everyone in the Lan family would have to give him some face!
“Is that so? I’ll wait and see.” With that, Leng Ruoxue closed her eyes again and ignored Sun Wei.
The alchemists in the venue looked as though they were watching a good show. Some of them even looked at Sun Wei with pity, but the overly arrogant Sun Wei didn’t notice it.
In the Lan family estate…
After the staff returned to the Lan family estate, he didn’t go directly to see the first elder but returned to his room to sleep.
By the time he woke up, it was already five hours later.
“Stinky brat, you’re finally willing to wake up?” The third elder of the Lan family was sitting by the bed with a kind face and scolded jokingly.
“Grandpa, why are you here?” Lan Xiang, who was dressed as a staff member, asked in puzzlement.
“Stinky brat, you’ve ignored Sun Wei’s matter for five hours. That fellow couldn’t wait any longer and sent his subordinate here. Fortunately, I stopped him,” the third elder said helplessly, his old face full of affection for his grandson.
“Grandpa, you can’t blame me for this. You don’t know how annoying Sun Wei is. I’ve only accompanied him for less than a day, and he’s already shouting at me and ordering me around like I’m his servant,” Lan Xiang complained.
“Haha, you were the one who said you wanted to gain some experience. Who can you blame!” Not only did the third elder not pity his grandson’s plight, but he even laughed out loud.
“Grandpa, I’m your only grandson! Can you bear to see me being bullied?” Lan Xiang said, acting spoiled.
“Alright, stinky brat, stop acting spoiled. Isn’t it time for you to go and see the first elder!” the third elder reminded kindly. If he didn’t let the first elder know about this matter, Sun Wei would probably come personally!
“Okay, I’m going to see First Grandpa.” Lan Xiang got up from the bed, tidied up simply, and went straight to the first elder’s study.
When he arrived at the door of the study and felt that there were outsiders inside, Lan Xiang deliberately shouted outside the door, “Subordinate has something important to report!”
In the study, the first elder’s lips twitched as he said indifferently, “Come in!”
Lan Xiang strode into the study and bowed respectfully.
“What’s the matter?” the first elder asked with a frown.
“It’s like this. Master Sun had a dispute with someone at the medicinal herb exchange, so he ordered me to ask the first elder to back him up. He wants to chase those who are in conflict with him out of the exchange,” Lan Xiang reported.
“Oh!” the first elder answered softly and glanced at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.
“This unfilial disciple. Hehe, First Elder, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault for not teaching him well.” The middle-aged man was none other than Sun Wei’s master, the president of the Alchemist Association Headquarters, Ren Li!
“Hehe, President Ren, you’re too polite. Master Sun was bullied in our Lan family’s territory. We didn’t take care of him well!” the first elder said politely.
“Tell me what happened in detail.” The first elder turned to Lan Xian.
“Yes.” Lan Xiang described the incident to them in detail.
After hearing this, the first elder frowned again. I didn’t expect Sun Wei would actually have a conflict with Leng Ruoxue’s group. What should I do? I don’t like Sun Wei either, but logically speaking, I should be on the side of the Alchemist Association Headquarters. But my intuition tells me that I have to befriend Leng Ruoxue. Alas! I’m not sure what to do…
“President Ren, why don’t we go and take a look! If Master Sun is really bullied, my Lan family will definitely uphold justice for him,” First Elder Lan Hong said ambiguously.
“Okay,” Ren Li replied with a nod. Then he stood up and left the Lan family estate with the first elder…
