Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Important Person Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Important Person “Granddaughter, why does your face look so troubled?” Elder Tiankui said.
Ye ngxian’s brows were tightly knitted as she spoke, “It’s because of that Su Xiaotong.”
Hearing this, Fang Lin asked, “Master Ye, what happened to Su Xiaotong?”
Ye ngxian replied, “Su Xiaotong was injured due to a pill refining mistake, but I found out that it was her ntor’s other disciples who played the trick.”
Upon hearing that Su Xiaotong was injured from pill refining, Fang Lin couldn’t help but beco worried, “Then, hasn’t Su Xiaotong’s ntor reacted at all?”
Ye ngxian shook her head, “That’s exactly why I’m so indignant. It’s clear that it was those disciples of his who hard Su Xiaotong, yet he turned a blind eye. When I went to demand her, he refused .”
Hearing this, Fang Lin also felt so anger. He hadn’t expected Su Xiaotong’s situation within the Pill Alliance to be even more miserable than he had imagined, to the point that it had already reached this stage.
“Doesn’t Su Xiaotong’s ntor even give face to Master Ye?” Fang Lin asked.
Ye ngxian said angrily, “That person’s na is Jin Yuan; he was once a hall master and is now a high-ranking official of the Pill Alliance, with Elder Tiangang backing him. Elder Tiangang had past grievances with Grandfather, and that’s why Jin Yuan dares to disregard .”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin glanced at Elder Tiankui, who showed little expression.
“Is there another way to get Su Xiaotong over?” Fang Lin asked.
Ye ngxian pondered briefly, “If Grandfather personally intervenes, it’s indeed possible to get her, but…”
Fang Lin understood. What kind of person was Elder Tiankui? How could he easily intervene just to bring soone over?
Even though Fang Lin was now a disciple of Elder Tiankui, he could not casually invoke Elder Tiankui’s na because of this relationship.
Fang Lin said solemnly, “Is there really no other way?”
Ye ngxian replied, “Unless Jin Yuan gives in, it’s indeed quite difficult to handle this matter.”
At this, Dugu Nian interjected, “What’s so difficult about that? Just snatch the person over.”
Annoyed, Ye ngxian glared at Dugu Nian, “I can’t believe you’d think of that.”
Dugu Nian stuck out her tongue and stopped making reckless comnts.
“Fang Lin, you go bring that Su Xiaotong to Tiankui Pavilion,” Elder Tiankui suddenly said, “I am quite curious about this little girl.”
At these words, Fang Lin imdiately showed a grateful expression and quickly thanked him, “Thank you, Master.”
Ye ngxian gave Elder Tiankui a surprised look but didn’t say anything more. With Elder Tiankui’s statent, it should be possible to bring Su Xiaotong over.
Thereupon, Ye ngxian led Fang Lin to a place called Pill Fla City.
Pill Fla City was a very important location for the Pill Alliance, even more important than the thirty-two halls. Permanent representatives of several high-ranking officials of the Pill Alliance were stationed there.
Jin Yuan, too, was one of the principal administrators of Pill Fla City, holding a high status as a high-ranking official of the Pill Alliance, qualified to attend the Pill Alliance’s high-level etings.
The scale of Pill Fla City was vast, comparable to any capital of the Middle Three Kingdoms. At least, as Fang Lin saw it, this Pill Fla City seed even grander than Xuan City.
Being called Pill Fla City, it was naturally a gathering place for pill refiners, and nearly everything within the city related to the Alchemy Tao.
Ye ngxian didn’t delay; she directly took Fang Lin and flew into the city, attracting the attention of many pill refiners there.
“Who are those two? They act so boldly.”
“Hey, that must be one of the high-ranking figures from the Pill Alliance.”
“Indeed, only those of esteed status can fly directly within the city.”
“When will we ever have such a day?”
…
Within Pill Fla City, there were five high towers. Ye ngxian led the way, followed by Fang Lin, as they flew straight toward the third tower.
“Ye ngxian, I’ve already told you, Su Xiaotong is my disciple. Just go back, don’t waste your effort,” a rather unfriendly voice rang out before they even entered the tower.
A figure stood atop the tower, wearing a white robe. It was a middle-aged man with ordinary features, yet his aura was imnsely strong, his face showing a hint of impatience.
This man was Jin Yuan, Su Xiaotong’s master and also a Grandmaster of Alchemy Tao.
“Jin Yuan, hand over Su Xiaotong to , and I will leave imdiately,” Ye ngxian said bluntly, without any pleasantries toward Jin Yuan.
Jin Yuan’s backing ca from Elder Tiangang, who had longstanding grievances with Tiankui, and the two were never in harmony.
Therefore, the relationship between Jin Yuan and Ye ngxian was also one of mutual disdain, and if they weren’t both high-level figures within the Pill Alliance, they probably wouldn’t even exchange words on regular days.
“How laughable. Su Xiaotong has already acknowledged as her master. What right do you have to take her away?” Jin Yuan said with a sneer.
Ye ngxian frowned, “If Su Xiaotong is your disciple, how co you didn’t notice when she was secretly attacked and injured? And why didn’t you respond at all? Could it be that in your eyes, your other disciples are people, but Su Xiaotong isn’t?”
“Ye ngxian, you’re really ddling too much, don’t you think you’re being excessive?” Jin Yuan said coldly, his expression becoming sowhat angry.
At this point, Fang Lin spoke up, “Senior Jin, Su Xiaotong is a friend of mine, and I would like to see her.”
Only then did Jin Yuan turn his gaze to Fang Lin, his brows showing a trace of scorn. However, when he saw the Pill Refiner badge on Fang Lin’s chest, that scorn disappeared instantly.
“You’re Fang Lin?” Jin Yuan asked, frowning.
Fang Lin nodded, “Indeed, it is I.”
Jin Yuan’s lips curled, “She is injured and not in a condition to et with anyone.”
Hearing this, Fang Lin’s tone beca a bit colder as he looked at Jin Yuan, “I am here on the orders of Elder Tiankui, and he wishes to see Su Xiaotong. Senior Jin, if you continue to obstruct , are you not afraid of angering the elder?”
“You’re using Elder Tiankui to pressure ? Hah, what kind of person is the elder? I don’t believe he would bother with such a trivial matter,” Jin Yuan scoffed, clearly disbelieving Fang Lin’s words.
Fang Lin slapped the Nine Palace Bag and took out Elder Tiankui’s token.
A voice, bearing authority and an overwhelming presence, arose from the token.
“Bring Su Xiaotong here; this old man wishes to see her.”
It was the voice of Elder Tiankui. Upon hearing it, Jin Yuan’s body shook, and his complexion completely changed.
Jin Yuan could afford to not give Ye ngxian face because their statuses were comparable; neither was superior to the other.
But faced with Elder Tiankui, Jin Yuan completely submitted, bowing his head and daring not show the slightest defiance.
Even with Elder Tiangang as his support, he was the sa. In the struggles between such significant figures, he, a re pawn, dared not get involved. He could cause small disturbances, but now that Elder Tiankui had spoken, if he were to continue resisting, real trouble would ensue.
“The elder has commanded, and I dare not disobey,” Jin Yuan said, his voice slightly deep and his forehead covered in sweat.
