Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

But at the door, not only was the maid Yu'er leaning coquettishly against an old man, but she was also looking down at the important person in the room with a haughty air.

Surprisingly, Yu'er was accompanied by a group of fierce-looking martial artists.

Each of these martial artists possessed the strength of the Bone Refining Realm.

However, these Bone Refining Realm martial artists were actually led by the white-haired, ordinary-looking old man with a hooked nose who was standing next to Yu'er.

The old man with the hooked nose looked at everyone in the room, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw that Madam Li had actually woken up:

"You were poisoned by my pill, but I didn't expect you to actually wake up."

"What?! Luo Chen!"

Everyone in the room, except for Qin Xiao, was greatly shocked.

Li Ruoyou was instantly furious, but when she saw Yu'er nestled beside Luo Chen...

My first reaction wasn't to get angry at Luo Chen, but to glare at Yu'er:

"Yu'er, why did you betray me? When have I ever wronged you!"

"Master, I was only doing this for our future. When have I ever wronged you?"

Yu'er laughed shamelessly, then looked at Li Ruoyou with a mocking gaze.

"With your limited abilities, the Li family will be ruined in your hands sooner or later. You would be better off seeking refuge with Master Luo Chen. That would be the best choice for the Li family and for you as well."

"That's right."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, his gaze burning as he looked at Li Ruoyou:

"Li Ruoyou, your spiritual body can influence the growth of spiritual herbs. For us alchemists, this is a physique that is absolutely irresistible. Since you have such a physique, you must find a master alchemist to rely on. Otherwise, all the alchemists in the world will be after you. Even without me, other alchemists will not let you go once they find out about you."

"You think you have any other choice? Joining me is your wisest option!"

Upon hearing this...

Qin Xiao was startled and looked at Li Ruoyou with a shocked expression.

He had overheard that Li Ruoyou possessed a spiritual body.

I just don't know what effect this kind of constitution will have.

Only now did I realize that this spiritualized body was so incredible that it could actually affect the growth of spiritual herbs.

No wonder the Li family is skilled at cultivating all sorts of rare and unusual medicinal herbs.

Such a physique is indeed a priceless treasure for alchemists.

No wonder it attracted Luo Chen's covetousness.

Even Qin Xiao's heart pounded when he heard about the effects of the Spirit Transformation Body.

After all, he was also an alchemist and knew what a spiritualized body meant to him.

However, while Qin Xiao was tempted, he wouldn't resort to any means to harm someone without any reason.

"Luo Chen, stop dreaming!"

Li Ruoyou glanced coldly at Luo Chen, then said disdainfully,

"My spiritual body is indeed a priceless treasure for alchemists, but if I wanted to utilize this physique, why would I need to rely on you? Wouldn't it be better to find a qualified alchemist to rely on?"

Then, she looked at Yu'er with icy eyes:

"And Yu'er, I have been so kind to you, yet you repay kindness with enmity. From this day forward, you shall have no further connection with the Li family. Our ties are severed!"

Upon hearing this, Yu'er sneered, dismissing Li Ruoyou's threat with disdain.

After all, she was already under the control of Alchemist Luo Chen, so why should she rely on Li Ruoyou anymore?

On the contrary, Luo Chen smiled sinisterly upon hearing Li Ruoyou's words, looking at her with a playful gaze:

"You're right. With your physique, if you wanted to find an alchemist to rely on, even those high-ranking first-grade alchemists would be envious and frantically recruit you."

"But do you think I would let you side with another alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, both Li Ruoyou and Madam Li's expressions changed drastically.

"Luo Chen, what exactly do you want to do!" Madam Li looked at Luo Chen angrily.

"Since the soft approach won't work, I'll have to resort to the hard one. I'll have to take you and your son back to the City Lord's Mansion first!" Luo Chen sneered.

"You dare!" Li Ruoyou's face darkened. "I am the head of the Li family. Even the City Lord's Mansion cannot attack me without a legitimate reason. Otherwise, all the noble families in Black Mountain City will feel the same way and unite against the City Lord's Mansion!"

"That's true. Even the city lord's mansion can't do whatever it wants and arrest a patriarch of a noble family at will."

Luo Chen chuckled, but then looked at Madam Li with a playful gaze, "But I now have a legitimate reason, and that is that your Li family stole my Azure Luo Pill!"

"Everyone in Black Mountain City knows that only the Azure Luo Pill in my possession can revive Madam Li. I did not give the Azure Luo Pill to your Li family, but now Madam Li has awakened."

"If this wasn't because your Li family stole my Azure Luo Pill, what other reason could it be?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked by Luo Chen's shamelessness.

This elixir was clearly refined by Qin Xiao, yet Luo Chen claimed it was stolen by the Li family.

How can someone lie through their teeth?

"You are truly shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yiren, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but get angry. "This pill was clearly made by Alchemist Lin Feng; we all saw it with our own eyes!"

At this point, Xu Yiren looked at Luo Chen with a mocking gaze:

"Luo Chen, the reason you can be so presumptuous is only because you rely on the City Lord's Mansion. But once the City Lord's Mansion sees Lin Feng's alchemist abilities, who do you think they will value more?"

"Nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's expression immediately turned ugly.

Because Xu Yiren touched on his sore spot.

The reason he rushed to the Li family with his men after receiving Yu'er's secret letter was because of this.

They were just afraid that someone would actually be able to refine the Azure Luo Pill.

If someone can produce more, it means they are more skilled than him.

Luo Chen could not allow anyone in Black Mountain City to threaten his position. Otherwise, if he lost the City Lord's Mansion as his backer, the enemies he had offended in Black Mountain City might not let him off the hook.

Then, Luo Chen turned his cold gaze to Qin Xiao beside him, his eyes filled with murderous intent:

"So it was you who stole my Azure Luo Pill?"

Although Luo Chen had never spoken to Qin Xiao since he entered.

But from beginning to end, he kept an eye on Qin Xiao as a threat.

After learning that the other party had actually refined the Azure Luo Pill, he knew that the other party's alchemy skills were far superior to his own.

That's why we absolutely cannot let this child leave the Li family alive.

"steal?"

Seeing that this old man dared to lie to his face, Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Luo Chen, I clearly refined the Azure Luo Pill myself, yet you're accusing me of stealing your pills. You've even come up with a charge; it seems you're not planning to let me off the hook!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Xu Yiren's expression changed drastically. She had thought that Qin Xiao's skill level was higher than Luo Chen's, which would make Luo Chen back down.

Who would have thought that the other party actually planned to eliminate Qin Xiao?

"How dare he!" Xu Yiren thought to herself.

Li Ruoyou and Madam Li's expressions changed drastically. In other matters, Li Ruoyou was naive, but in some matters, she was much more clear-headed than Xu Yiren.

She knew that some people would do anything for power and status.

Not to mention Madam Li, the matriarch of a prominent family.

really--

"good."

Luo Chen stared coldly at Qin Xiao, as if looking at a dead man. "Luo Yue, chop this thief who stole my pills into mincemeat. I'm going to use his flesh to fertilize my flowers!"
