Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

"Of course I understand what you're saying."

A bitter expression appeared on Li Ruoyou's pretty face.

"But I can't just watch my mother die. She's my only remaining family member in this world. Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will save her."

"this……"

Xu Yiren's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She wanted to speak up and stop her, but she also knew that for Li Ruoyou, there seemed to be no other choice.

But she couldn't bear to watch her longtime friend fall into the clutches of a beast like Luo Chen.

Just when Xu Yiren didn't know what to do—

"It's just a mere Azure Luo Pill; I can refine it myself. Why would Patriarch Li sacrifice his marriage and marry someone with ulterior motives for a single pill?"

A faint voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Instantly, Li Ruoyou and Xu Yiren were both startled and quickly looked towards the door.

But it turned out to be none other than Qin Xiao.

"Uncle Lin, you said you can refine the Azure Luo Pill? Could it be that you're also an alchemist?"

Li Ruoyou looked at Qin Xiao with delight in her beautiful eyes. For a moment, she didn't even think about questioning Qin Xiao about why he had followed her to the Li family's private quarters without permission.

Instead, it gives you a pleasant surprise, like finding a hidden light at the end of the tunnel.

"good."

Qin Xiao smiled faintly.

He had been secretly following Li Ruoyou.

Hiding outside the door, I overheard Li Ruoyou's conversation with the female doctor named Xu Yiren.

They already knew about the entanglement between the Li family and the city lord's mansion.

Upon learning that Li Ruoyou was being threatened by a pill and forced to marry the scheming alchemist, they discovered that...

Qin Xiao certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye.

After all, Li Ruoyou has a special physique recognized by the Goddess Diagram. Although Qin Xiao may not necessarily have feelings for every woman recognized by the Goddess Diagram.

But having no ideas doesn't mean he'll just stand by and watch the other person fall into his clutches.

Even if Li Ruoyou hadn't been recognized by the Goddess Painting, Qin Xiao might not have stood idly by in this situation.

As for the method of refining Qingluo Pill, it is also recorded in the alchemy book. Compared with Shuiyuan Dadan, Qingluo Pill is much easier.

Qin Xiao was naturally confident that he could refine it.

Furthermore, Qin Xiao hadn't expected that after he followed them here...

Another surprise was discovered.

Inside the house, another strange woman, who had been inspired by the Goddess Painting, appeared.

It was Dr. Xu inside the room!

Although her aptitude was far inferior to Li Ruoyou's, being only a low-grade mortal, for Qin Xiao, the more beauties sensed by the Goddess Diagram, the better.

Qin Xiao spoke up at this moment not only to help Li Ruoyou obtain the two spiritual medicines he wanted from her, but also to get to know the woman in the room who was being sensed by the Goddess Painting.

"Very good."

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's reply, Li Ruoyou's beautiful eyes were filled with ecstatic joy, as if a ray of hope had appeared after a long period of darkness.

However, Xu Yiren, who was standing to the side, was not as surprised as Li Ruoyou.

Upon seeing Qin Xiao's sudden appearance.

Xu Yiren's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with vigilance and hostility:

"Who are you, and why are you here!"

"Yiren, don't be nervous."

Li Ruoyou quickly explained, "This Uncle Lin came to my house to ask for medicine. He was able to come to my house alone to ask for medicine under the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion, so he must not be someone with ulterior motives."

"That's not necessarily true."

Xu Yiren stared intently at Qin Xiao, her beautiful eyes still filled with hostility, and said,

"Ruoyou, you've always been naive. You believe people who try to fool you easily. This person suddenly appeared in your house and claimed to be able to refine top-grade pills like the Qingluo Pill, and you actually believed him?"

"Although Luo Chen is a bad person, he is still the number one alchemist in our Black Mountain City. Even he can't refine the Azure Luo Pill. This guy can't possibly say that he can refine the Azure Luo Pill. He's just kidding."

"Ruoyou, this person is definitely not a good person."

"this--"

Li Ruoyou was initially overjoyed, but upon hearing Xu Yiren's words, the joy on her face gradually faded, and her gaze towards Qin Xiao became suspicious.

Yes.

Even the top alchemist in Black Mountain City couldn't refine the Azure Luo Pill.

How could someone suddenly appear who could refine the Azure Luo Pill?

The person in front of me might actually be a fraud.

"Speak! Who are you? Are you a spy sent by Luo Chen? You've suppressed our Li family so badly, what tricks are you playing now!"

Hearing these words, Yu'er, a maid standing nearby, also became hostile towards Qin Xiao and loudly questioned him.

Hearing the three people's words.

Qin Xiao, however, remained completely calm and chuckled lightly:

"What Dr. Xu said does make some sense."

"If it were me, and I suddenly met someone who claimed to be even more skilled than the number one alchemist in Black Mountain City, I wouldn't believe such words either. I would just think that the person in front of me was a fraud. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"So you admit you're a liar?" Xu Yiren sneered.

"When did I admit it?" Qin Xiao looked at Xu Yiren indifferently.

"Then how do you explain what you just said?" Xu Yiren looked coldly at Qin Xiao, her delicate hand quietly producing a poisoned needle.

It seemed that she was ready to take action the moment the person in front of her did something wrong.

Xu Yiren is not only a doctor, but also a martial artist at the peak of the first realm.

His greatest skill was using poison.

Doctors are inherently inseparable from medicine and poison; the more skilled a doctor is at saving lives, the more easily they know how to kill someone.

If Qin Xiaozhen wasn't a good person, Xu Yiren was confident she could easily subdue him.

How could Qin Xiao possibly miss the girl's subtle actions?

Qin Xiao wasn't angry; he just smiled and said:

"Proving I'm not a bad person is easy enough."

While they were talking.

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Qin Xiao's body.

In an instant.

The three women inside the room all paled, their beautiful eyes flashing with fear. They felt as if Qin Xiao had suddenly transformed into a ferocious and terrifying prehistoric beast, capable of crushing them to death with ease.

Yu'er, the weakest of the maids, turned deathly pale instantly, her legs going weak with fear.

Xu Yiren, who was just moments before confident that she could easily suppress Qin Xiao, was now pale-faced, her beautiful eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

Only Li Ruoyou was in slightly better condition. There was some panic in her beautiful eyes, but although she also felt the terrifying pressure in the face of this terrifying power, she was not as helpless as Yu'er and Xu Yiren.

But at this moment, she was still somewhat shocked, her gaze fixed on Qin Xiao, filled with vigilance and worry:

"A mid-stage Bone Forging martial artist, Uncle Lin, who exactly are you? When did our Black Mountain City produce a powerhouse like you?!"
