"I am really angry. I will be unlucky to have such a descendant for the rest of my life."
Yue Hu spoke leisurely, simply repeating what had just happened without any concern.
"You are so young and yet you have such thoughts. You are extremely arrogant and have no idea of self-reflection. You treat your blood relatives who love you like this. If you don't teach them a lesson, they will not only be sensible in the future, but will also hurt others and themselves. Don't you think so?"
Yue Hu glanced at the man, and the meaning of her words was obvious.
"As for this pet, it depends on who it is. If it's a smart and sensible one, then it doesn't matter. But if it's a heartless and ungrateful one, then isn't it asking for trouble?"
The man was stunned, then nodded.
"You are right. We need to clean up the mess. If the younger generation is taught like this, how can the family continue?"
After saying that, he started to crack melon seeds with the man and the fox and watched the show in front of them.
You know what, the more I listened to that scream, the more delicious the food became.
No one knew how long it had been, but Zhu Sheng was tired from fighting and Gong Xian fainted.
After all, she is my daughter, I can't possibly beat her to death.
She snorted, retracted the stick, and gave orders in a cold voice.
"Take the young lady back and put her under house arrest. When the time comes, I will find a teacher to teach her a lesson and let her know the difference between respect and inferiority!"
Following Zhu Sheng's instructions, the servant beside him did not respond.
Zhu Sheng gave another order, but saw the servant looking behind him.
She looked back and immediately saw the man.
"Dad, why are you here!?"
She was stunned at first, then she felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about this moment. She was actually seen teaching her daughter a lesson by her father. Doesn't that mean he already knew about his daughter's affairs?
Seeing his daughter looking at him, the man nodded.
"Go, take my granddaughter away."
As he gave the order, servants immediately took the unconscious Gong Xian away. Seeing Zhu Sheng's blushing face, he sighed.
"I thought my granddaughter said that because of your words and deeds, that's why you dislike me and your elder brother. Now that I see you are like this without knowing the truth, I'm afraid it's not because of you, and I feel relieved."
The man smiled.
"I thought you would despise your parents' family and your father after you got married."
"father……"
Zhu Sheng's eyelashes drooped slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Okay, since you don't dislike your elder brother, that's good. It just so happens that this fellow Taoist is related to your elder brother's illness. Since you still care about your elder brother, let's come together..."
The man turned his head to look at Keqing, who nodded slightly. She was not surprised at all about the man's identity.
The man gestured, walked through pavilions and towers, and the bustling surroundings became quiet. Then he brought Keqing and Zhu Sheng to a quiet and spacious room, which seemed to be a reception place.
At this time, there was already someone inside the room, his eyes were looking blankly somewhere, one hand was holding a teacup filled with mist, and he was sipping lightly. When he looked up, he saw that the man was fair and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance. He was wearing a green robe and a feather crown on his head, and his temperament was quite extraordinary.
Seeing them come in, he stood up quickly.
"Dad, third sister."
"Second brother, you are here too..."
Zhu Sheng nodded.
The man nodded and casually introduced Keqing:
"Zhu Feng, you are my second son"
"Second son."
Keqing nodded slightly and greeted gently.
"Please sit down..."
He waved his sleeves and motioned for everyone to sit down. The man, the city lord Zhu Qian, then sat at the top. Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Keqing with a pair of black eyes with a serious expression.
"You must be the alchemist behind Xiang Yanwu... Old Yi has told me everything. He said that you are extraordinary in strength and alchemy skills, and you are a genius who never appears in the world. Your elixirs are also extraordinary, and they are not the cause of my eldest son's poisoning."
Zhu Sheng was stunned, she knew that Fellow Daoist Keqing was an alchemist, but she didn't expect that she was the alchemist behind Xiang Yanwu. Even she knew that the person behind the so-called Chamber of Commerce had refined countless top-grade elixirs. She thought it was some mysterious organization, but she didn't expect that it was Fellow Daoist Keqing!
Zhu Feng, who was standing aside, had obviously been informed of this already, so he was not surprised and just smiled at the right time.
“I was also surprised when I heard what Yi Lao said. It’s incredible that so many top-grade elixirs were made by fellow Taoists…”
"I heard that you are a master of alchemy, and those top-grade elixirs were all made by you personally. However, as far as I know, a master of alchemy can only make a few top-grade elixirs in one furnace if he is lucky. It depends a lot on luck. Even if he is skilled and has great skills, he can only make one or two out of ten furnaces, which is already excellent."
Having said this, Zhu Feng looked at Keqing thoughtfully, with a smile on his face, but his smile was not reflected in his eyes.
"I don't know how talented you are. You are so young, but you can refine so many top-grade pills."
Although these words sound like a compliment, praising Keqing's strength, they are actually questioning and doubting. After all, other alchemy masters do not have this ability. How can you, such a young alchemy master, refine so many top-grade elixirs?
Do you think that top-grade elixirs are grown in the ground and can be sold wholesale?
Otherwise, why do people only think it is a certain organization instead of a specific person? Isn't it because so many pills are difficult to refine by one person alone, and it takes the efforts of everyone.
But how can one person produce so many top-quality products?
In response to Zhu Feng's questioning, the city lord didn't say anything, but Zhu Sheng, who was standing by, felt a little unhappy when he heard it.
"Second brother, why are you saying that so sourly? Just because others can't do it doesn't mean that Daoist Keqing can't do it. It's said that the descendant is better than the teacher. Why? Others haven't reached the Nascent Soul stage at this age! To reach the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years is already a genius! Not to mention that he has become a master of alchemy."
Zhu Feng felt choked up. This guy was still as tactless as ever, pretending to know everything.
He lowered his eyes and sneered
"This fellow Taoist is not your fellow Taoist. If I am not mistaken, this fellow Taoist has already reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
"Ah!? He actually became a god!"
Zhu Sheng widened his eyes. No wonder he couldn’t see her level of cultivation clearly. It turned out that Keqing was so powerful.
"Really? Keqing said...Senior..."
Keqing nodded slightly.
"Yes, I have become a god."
Zhu Feng on the side chuckled.
"Daoyou is really good at this.
His talent is so outstanding that he has reached the stage of Spiritual Transformation. His alchemy skills are also quite extraordinary. He is already an alchemy master... As far as I know, the youngest master in Dan City also practiced for a thousand years before he was promoted to a master in the late stage of Spiritual Transformation..."
This sentence was obviously a question. After all, everyone knew that cultivation required concentration. No matter how talented one was, one could not do both. At such a young age, he was both a spirit-transforming master and a master of elixirs. It was impossible for him to be so outrageous even if he had been practicing since the womb!
He was questioning, questioning why Keqing was not the master of alchemy, and was not the person behind Xiang Yanwu at all, and whether she came to the City Lord's Mansion just to pretend and had other intentions.
However, before Keqing could speak, Zhu Sheng on the side started to talk again.
"Hey, second brother, you are so short-sighted. Who says that you can't be both a Spiritual Transformation Master and a Pill Master at such a young age? Don't be so ignorant, okay? There is also a saying that the back wave pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach. You can't doubt the back wave that beat you to death just because you are the front wave! You are so petty!"
"you shut up!"
"puff!"
Faced with Zhu Sheng's favoritism and carelessness, Zhu Feng's face turned black, but Yue Hu couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't realize that Zhu Sheng is quite eloquent. Although his daughter is not that good, he himself is okay.
"Third sister! Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?! Are you going to speak up for this woman who harmed my eldest brother!?"
Zhu Feng bit his tongue, stared at Zhu Sheng, and spoke word by word.
"Eh? How could you think like that, brother? I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, I just doubt your intelligence!"
Zhu Sheng said seriously.
"I suddenly realized that your IQ is not that high. Keqing said... the senior has come in person, and you are still here, doubting this and that? Could it be..."
"You're attracted to Senpai... and you want to attract Senpai's attention by being a kid!?"
"You're talking nonsense! How is that possible!"
"That's right. Senior won't be interested in you either. After all, you are so old and Senior is still young. Young grass won't be interested in an old pig like you, let alone a beautiful jade like Senior. Stop whining."
"you!!!"
"That's enough! Do you want to embarrass yourself in front of outsiders!?"
Zhu Sheng was about to get angry, but Zhu Qian above sent the two of them away with just one sentence!
What are you doing? Do you have to make such a scene in front of others?!
He rubbed his forehead. These two people were born to be incompatible. Why didn’t they even give each other face in front of outsiders?
There is no need to say much about Zhu Feng. He had doubts in his heart, and he himself had them too. This guy was a suspicious person. As for his daughter, Zhu Qian seemed to be thinking about something. How could he not know what kind of personality his daughter had?
With a talent like this guy, and a conflict with her, normally her daughter would never defend him. However, the result was beyond her expectation. Not only did her daughter defend him, she also sided with him.
It's really strange how the other party got his daughter to protect him willingly.
He coughed and looked at Keqing.
"Admittedly, my son's words were a bit exaggerated, but his doubts are actually my doubts. Fellow Daoist is young and has outstanding talent. He has already advanced to the realm of transformation. He is extremely talented. Even among the ten major cities, he is top-notch. But if you say that Fellow Daoist can have such a high level of cultivation and the ability of a pill master at this age, I still find it hard to believe. I wonder if you have any proof."
Hearing that his father also agreed with his idea, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly towards Zhu Sheng, and then looked at Keqing.
Zhu Sheng on the side also wanted to speak, but hesitated, not knowing how to respond, so he had to look at Keqing to hear her answer.
Facing the gazes of the three people, Keqing, as the person involved, lowered her eyes slightly, then raised them and said calmly:
“Why should I prove it?”
Chapter 725: Come and Go with a Breeze, No Fear in the Heart (7 more)
"what?"
Zhu Qian was stunned, seemingly unable to react, until he saw Keqing's eyes as clear as autumn water.
“Why should I prove it?”
Every word she spoke was filled with her unique indifference and calmness.
Now Zhu Qian heard it clearly.
"I came here only to express my attitude, that is, my elixir is non-toxic, and Shopkeeper Xiang will not use it to poison as a means to secretly harm the young city lord."
"The city lord is so self-righteous that he arbitrarily detained my people without any investigation. This is a provocation to me and a slander against my reputation. Therefore, as the owner of the elixir, I came here to express my opinion. If possible, Keqing is also willing to take advantage of the situation to solve the problem of the young city lord's poison."
Keqing frowned slightly, but her eyes looked straight at Zhu Qian with unquestionable determination.
"But this does not mean that the city lord can make arbitrary speculations based on the words of one family. Keqing has not blamed the city lord for wantonly putting the blame on us before, so why does he need to prove that he is the master of alchemy now? I am not wrong in this matter, so why do I need to prove that I am the master of alchemy?"
"Why?"
Keqing raised her eyes and questioned.
She has a good temper, but that doesn't mean some things can be taken for granted.
"Say no
What I heard was that the poisoning had nothing to do with me. It was you who didn't know right from wrong and arrested my people without knowing the truth and slandered me. I didn't need to come to the City Lord's Mansion again and could have just left. Now that I came here with good intentions to help, I was suspected, questioned repeatedly, and belittled openly and covertly. "
Keqing paused, her eyes slightly cold, twinkling like stars.
"I want to make one thing clear. It is your City Lord's Mansion that needs me, not me who wants to pester your City Lord's Mansion to prove myself."
Keqing's voice was as clear as running water, and seemed to carry the sound of the rustling wind.
And Senior Yuehu in his arms also rolled his eyes.
"That's right, you're right, believe it if you want, forget it if you don't, if you don't believe me then just leave, you're talking as if you have to treat your young city lord."
"The poisoning was not our fault. You attacked our people, and I haven't even bothered with you yet. Why are you becoming aggressive?"
When Keqing heard Senior Yuehu mention "our people", she felt warm in her heart.
The other three were stunned when they heard what they said.
Zhu Sheng's eyes widened. Senior Keqing was really awesome! He actually dared to talk to her father like that. He was more confident than herself. So cool!!!
Zhu Feng, who was standing aside, had a gleam in his eyes.
"Do you think you can come and go as you please here? Since you made the elixir, you are also suspected of poisoning it!"
