"If you want me dead, then let's see if you have the ability!"

Yang Fan secretly hardened his heart and clenched his fists.

Mo Wen, Senior Brother Chen, and Wang Yu all wanted him dead, but he insisted on living on.

Not only do we need to survive, we need to live well!

"Wang Yu, is it? You stole my Ascension Token and now you want my life? Well, you might as well die!"

Yang Fan made up his mind and hurriedly returned to his room.

He was Grandmaster Qingyang's alchemy apprentice; his death would be quite troublesome.

Therefore, Senior Brother Chen was very careful when he looked for Yang Fan, and did not let anyone find out.

This is actually a good thing for Yang Fan.

No one will suspect Chen if he dies.

......

Just as he expected, Senior Brother Chen's disappearance caused a minor disturbance in the Pill Hall, but no one suspected him.

Yang Fan and Senior Brother Chen usually had a harmonious relationship. Yang Fan was also a Dan Tong (a disciple of the Heavenly Pill), so no one dared to be so blind as to doubt him.

Some even suspected that Senior Brother Chen might have stolen something from the patriarch and then disappeared.

Although Master Qingyang was furious, he was helpless, since even his fate was still unknown.

After searching for several days, Master Qingyang lost patience and found another outer disciple.

However, this outer disciple was naturally no match for Senior Brother Chen, which made Master Qingyang value Yang Fan even more.

Yang Fan's status naturally rose accordingly, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

However, the situation at the servants' quarters is not so good.

"Grandpa, today an inner disciple suddenly asked me about the Ascension Token, but I just brushed it off."

"But if that little beast isn't eliminated, there will be endless trouble in the future."

Wang Yu rushed into the main hall of the servants' quarters and asked his grandfather.

Wang Yu's grandfather, Wang Bairen, glanced at Wang Yu and shook his head.

My grandson is still too impatient.

I tried every means to get him into the inner sect, hoping he could make a name for himself there.

But now they get so impatient at the slightest sign of trouble; they're just too impatient.

"Is that all the patience you have?"

Wang Bairen put down his teacup and sighed helplessly.

"What's the rush? Didn't we already tell that kid surnamed Chen to make a move? Can't you even wait a few days?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu became anxious and immediately rushed to his grandfather's side.

"Grandpa, don't you know? That good-for-nothing surnamed Chen has disappeared. If we wait any longer, it will be troublesome once word gets out that we took his Ascension Token."

Of course, the sect wouldn't punish a Foundation Establishment cultivator for the sake of a menial servant.

However, Wang Yu's status as an inner disciple is definitely not going to be kept, and Wang Bairen will also lose his position as the head of the miscellaneous servants' hall.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bairen's expression finally turned serious.

Previously, he had considered a hidden spiritual root as a piece of trash who could be killed at any time, so he hadn't paid much attention to him.

Now it seems there's actually some trouble involved.

"Then let's find someone else to do it. Outer disciples from the Pill Hall go up here from time to time; let them take care of it while they're at it..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was so anxious he almost jumped up.

"Grandpa, I've inquired. That kid has become Grandmaster Qingyang's alchemy apprentice. It won't be easy to get rid of him in the alchemy hall."

"Now that good-for-nothing surnamed Chen is dead, if my alchemy apprentice were to have a problem, Master Qingyang would definitely become suspicious."

Wang Bairen nodded slightly; that was indeed the case.

Although Master Qingyang doesn't usually pay attention to such trivial matters, if the people around him die one after another, he will definitely investigate.

Mo Wen, who knew about the Ascension Order, has disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.

However, if Xu Longyue knew about this, it would be troublesome once it became public.

"We didn't want to get our hands dirty, but it seems we'll have to do it ourselves."

Wang Bairen sighed, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Grandpa, are you going to the Pill Hall to kill someone yourself?"

Wang Yu looked at his grandfather nervously.

If Grandpa were to take action himself, he could definitely kill this kid, but that would be too risky.

Going to the alchemy hall to do it yourself could very well cause trouble.

"Silly child, how could you possibly make a move at the Pill Hall?"

Wang Bairen smiled.

"Although he is a Dan Tong, he is still a menial servant, so I can still mobilize him."

"You know, if I transfer him somewhere else to help out, and he causes an accident, wouldn't it be absolved of our responsibility?"

"ACCIDENT?"

Wang Yu looked at Wang Bairen with confusion, not knowing what he meant by "accident".

"Didn't the sect open up several mines recently? Now is a time when they are short-handed. You said that when he went to help at the mine, a mining accident suddenly happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yu's face lit up with a smile.

"That's right, this way we don't get our hands dirty, and no one can find out anything."

That was a mining accident, how can you blame the head of the miscellaneous services hall?

Moreover, the mine is indeed short-handed right now, so it's reasonable to transfer Yang Fan away.

"But what if Grandmaster Qingyang refuses to release them?"

Wang Yu was taken aback and hurriedly asked Wang Bairen.

"Think about it carefully. If Grandmaster Qingyang is unwilling to release them, would we dare to make a move against them?"

Wang Bairen rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"If Grandmaster Qingyang appreciates this person and refuses to release him, then it means we cannot touch him."

"At that point, why waste time with words? Let's hurry up and take gifts to apologize."

Wang Yu stared blankly at Wang Bairen before finally realizing what was happening.

That's right. If their master values ​​Yang Fan so much, what are they even thinking? They should honestly try to ask for his forgiveness.

"But you don't need to be nervous, this kid probably isn't that important."

"When you go to the mine, make sure to arrange things in advance. Make sure it's done discreetly and don't leave any loose ends."

Wang Yu immediately nodded excitedly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the people who went to the mine were all ours. Killing a mere mortal like him would be a piece of cake."

"Besides, we don't necessarily have to use a mining accident. Aren't the mines very close to those mountains? We can have those spirit beasts take care of it and get rid of this person."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smugness.

......

"You want me to go to the mine?"

Yang Fan listened in astonishment to the order to transfer him.

"Why would I go to the mine for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, the servant responsible for delivering the message impatiently tossed Yang Fan a token.

"That's not my concern. Anyway, Master Wang of the Miscellaneous Services Hall has already spoken to True Person Qingyang."

"It's not just you; there are several other people who are going to the mine to provide support."

After saying this, the messenger turned and left.

Holding the token, Yang Fan was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Yang Fan, are you going down the mountain?"

Zhou, the squad leader, took the token with an arrogant air and glared at him irritably.

"yes!"

Yang Fan nodded.

Since he got rid of Senior Brother Chen, Chief Zhou has regained his arrogant attitude.

After all, in his opinion, Yang Fan was only relying on Senior Brother Chen for support. Without Senior Brother Chen, Yang Fan was nothing at all.

"Alright, since it's an order from the miscellaneous servants' hall, then you can go down the mountain. If you ever have nowhere to go in the future, just let me know and you can come back up the mountain. I'll protect you."

Zhou Bantou patted Yang Fan on the shoulder.

Yang Fan nodded in thanks.

Although Zhou Bantou was a snob and liked to extort money.

But on this mountain, he was one of the few good people.

After quickly packing up, Yang Fan hurriedly went down the mountain, asked for directions to the mine, and then headed towards it.

"Wang Yu's grandfather, the head of the miscellaneous servants' quarters, transferred me to the mine. There must be a conspiracy behind this. We must be careful."
