Chapter 448 “Picked Up a Teenager (4)”

“Shifu, you really don’t need me to send you?” Bai Yan furrows her brow and asked.

“Oomph,” coughing awkwardly using that guilty vocal, Ren Yi didn’t need to think twice before replying, “No, no, no, I and your other two shifus will go to the Medicine Sect on our own. We can meet up there instead.”

Because he’s the one who inadvertently leaked the news of Bai Yan sneaking away and then dumping the blame on his third brother, there’s no way Ren Yi would allow the pair to meet.

“Okay,” nodding her head without further thought, Bai Yan accept the excuse as was, “Then we will meet the three of you there as you wish.”

Making a shallow smile, Bai Yan didn’t reply right away. Instead, she shifted her gaze down at the adorable little steambun next to her arm.

“Wang Xiaopeng of the Wang family is my son’s friend, that’s why I did that in order to not make things difficult for him. What’s more, if someone does pursue the matter and investigate, they will only assume it’s an enemy seeking revenge against those two brothers and not us getting involved.”

Bai Yan has no reason to fear any form of retribution from those two bastards, but that doesn’t mean Wang Deqiu and his two children wouldn’t. From what she can see, the first brother has a very dark heart. Against that sort of people, plus the resources at their disposal, it would just be a matter of time before they return the favor against their second brother. As such, this was the best solution for everyone without bringing the friction to the surface.

“So that’s why,” nodding his head like he’s enlightened now, Ren Yi didn’t want to dwell on the matter and moved on. “Well then, the hours getting late so I’ll go ahead first. Remember Yan Yan, you must go to the Medicine Sect and attend the convention. I and your other two shifus will arrive shortly after I go meet up with them.”

They’ve been planning for this day for far too long, ever since they became aware of Bai Yan’s talent anyways.

Don’t assume Ren Yi and his two brothers are all fine and dandy after breaking into the seventh level of their alchemic ability, it’s still a far cry from that old bastard of the Medicine Sect. Compared to an eighth or ninth level alchemist, the three of them were still puny.

So, if they themselves couldn’t achieve the magnificent glory of one-upping those old timers in that blasted sect, they could only look to the next generation.

……

After going their separate ways with her second shifu, Bai Yan

“Dracky, go in that direction for the Medicine Sect,” patting the serpent’s head, she’s starting to get accustomed to ordering this big fella around.

“Grawwwrrrrr,” issuing a defeating roar in response, the Glass Dragon wasted no time in flapping his wings.

The place they are headed to was a place called the Medicine Mountain, also home to the Medicine Sect that’s located at the peak. Due its nature of being extremely rich in nutrients, the soil here was ideal for producing some of the rarest herbs across the land, hence making it the ideal holy ground for them scholars of alchemic pursuit.

Perhaps it’s due to the convention being around the corner, from what used to be an averagely walked path up the mountain has become a parade of merchants and travelers.

This would of course not bold well with the enchanting woman who dislikes being crammed in with so many. After musing over her options, she soon found another path, a more secluded road just for herself.

Naturally anyone would find it strange that no one would take this trail, but the answer soon came to light after taking notice to the demon beasts lurking within the bushes – they are much more powerful than the regular kind.

However……

Instead of attacking the small party – the dragon left behind due to its scary appearance – these creatures didn’t even have the nerve to approach them. In fact, they were proactively retreating to make way like a king had just arrived at their doors.

“Mother,” tugging at his mother’s sleeve all of a sudden, Bai Xiachen points to a tall patch of grass nearby, “There’s someone over in that direction. I think he’s fainted, should we help him?”

It’s exactly as per the little boy says, Bai Yan had noticed the presence of another much earlier than her son. However, they were on unfamiliar grounds, hence the reason why she didn’t want to get involved. But now that her son has spoken up, she couldn’t just turn a blind eye anymore.
