Chapter 157: I Can’t Afford to Provoke Her, But I Can Afford to Hide
Su Yan felt that he might be having a bad year. The whole world was against him. Just as a beautiful tomorrow was in sight, the variable of Senior Sister Qin had appeared.
No, to dare to threaten him… what kind of senior sister was she? From now on, he would never call her senior sister again.
“Damn it!”
Su Yan clenched his fists, his expression a little dazed.
What should he do? How could he solve this problem and resolve this crisis?
“Talk to Qin Yimeng’s Master?”
If the disciple did something bad, of course, he should find the parent. But thinking of the cause of this matter, the Master was also unreliable and would definitely not help him.
This path was not feasible, so he had to change his thinking.
Thinking carefully, since he couldn’t solve the problem, he should solve the person who raised the problem.
A cold glint flashed in Su Yan’s eyes. As long as he asked Qin Yimeng out and stabbed her a few times in the back, then the problem would be solved. In the future, he could live a stable life with his senior sister. But…
“I can’t do it!”
An angry expression appeared on Su Yan’s face. He could make a move on his enemies, but he couldn’t turn his blade on his own people. Although Yimeng was very hateful, her crime was not punishable by death. He couldn’t do that to her.
“This won’t work, that won’t work! It’s so annoying!”
Su Yan gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, his breathing ragged with anger.
This scene happened to be seen by others. A group of female disciples gathered together, whispering, their eyes shining.
“Eh, isn’t that Junior Brother Su? I didn’t expect to see him here. I’m so lucky.”
“Junior Brother Su seems to be angry. Who is he angry at? The person who dared to make him unhappy is too hateful!”
“Don’t you think Junior Brother Su’s impotent rage is also very cute?”
“Now that you mention it, it does seem so…”
Hearing this, the corner of Su Yan’s mouth twitched slightly. These idle senior sisters actually dared to watch him make a fool of himself!
Because he was in a bad mood, Su Yan simply stopped pretending and shot them a fierce glare.
Who knew that this one glance would make their faces flush red? There was even someone who clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground, crying out that she couldn’t take it anymore. It was really ridiculous!
“You’re really something. Can’t I just leave?”
Underestimating the enthusiasm of his senior sisters, Su Yan chose to leave before things got out of hand.
He fled into the Pill Pavilion. Su Yan was looking for the materials he needed for alchemy here.
Besides distributing the disciples’ monthly salary, the Pill Pavilion also sold all sorts of rare spiritual materials. Of course, these were not free and had to be bought with spirit stones.
However, for the current Su Yan, there was no need to consider these things, because he was not short of money. However, what he didn’t expect was…
“Junior Brother needs Frost Condensation Grass? I’m sorry, this spiritual herb is all used up. You’ll have to wait until next month.”
The female disciple in charge of selling the goods said apologetically.
Su Yan was dumbfounded. No! Am I that unlucky today? Everything is going wrong!
“Don’t look at me like that. There’s nothing I can do.”
The female disciple spread her hands.
Su Yan was helpless and could only turn and leave.
When he returned to Heavenly Water Peak, looking at the various spiritual materials on the table, Su Yan sighed deeply.
Frost Condensation Grass was the main ingredient of the Spirit-Tempering Pill. It could neutralize the medicinal properties of various spiritual herbs. Without this ingredient, the pill could not be refined.
“What should I do?”
If he had to wait until next month, his senior sister would have already returned. What surprise would there be then?
No, now was not the time to consider these things!
Su Yan thought of Qin Yimeng’s threat and felt a massive headache coming on. The trouble she had caused was the top priority at the moment. If Qin Yimeng caused a scene, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.
Su Yan had fallen for Xiao Wu and didn’t want to be separated from her. Qin Yimeng’s existence was a threat, but after thinking it over and over, he had no solution.
The little fox had originally been an uneducated fellow, eating and sleeping every day. But since it had followed this master, he had been taking it to refine pills every day.
Having been exposed to it so much, the little fox had gained some understanding of alchemy.
‘Missing one ingredient, Frost Condensation Grass? Is it this little thing with blue leaves?’
The little fox pawed at the spiritual plant encyclopedia, its eyes suddenly lighting up. Its little head remembered.
When it was traveling the world, it seemed to have seen this kind of thing. It seemed to be in a snowfield, in that small valley, where a bunch of them grew. What was that place called?
Right, Dragon’s Spine Snow Mountain!
The little fox remembered and excitedly poked his hand with its paw.
“What are you doing? Don’t disturb my thoughts.”
Su Yan was troubled and turned his head to say irritably.
‘Chiu chiu chiu.’
‘I have something to tell you.’
The little fox said loudly.
“Oh, you want me to pet you.”
Su Yan rubbed the little fox’s head, and the little fox squinted its eyes in enjoyment.
This is the feeling, this is the strength. Every time he strokes me, I feel…
Wait, wait, wait!
‘Chiu chiu chiu!’
‘I’m not asking you to pet me! I have something to tell you! Aren’t you troubled because you don’t have the materials for alchemy? I know where to find them!’
“You want more petting? Alright, alright.”
Su Yan listlessly stroked the little fox’s fur. This really annoyed it. The translation was completely off. Why don’t you look at me!
‘Chiu chiu chiu.’
‘Hurry up and listen to me!’
The little fox hugged his hand and chirped.
Su Yan was helpless and turned to look at the little fox.
“What on earth do you want?”
The little fox first pointed at itself, then at the spiritual plant encyclopedia, and began to chirp.
“You’re saying you know where this plant is?”
‘Chiu chiu chiu!’
The little fox nodded excitedly. He had finally understood. It had helped him solve a problem and had also made a great contribution. Now he should praise it properly, right?
“I see.”
Who knew that after hearing this, Su Yan’s face showed no excitement at all, and he even seemed a little listless.
The little fox was completely dumbfounded. It didn’t know that at this moment, Su Yan was facing a life crisis. If he couldn’t solve Qin Yimeng, he would lose his wife. How could he have the mood for alchemy?
“I can’t think of anything! I can’t think of any solution at all!”
Su Yan sighed repeatedly. He couldn’t think of a way to solve Qin Yimeng. He didn’t know when she would make an excessive request. What should he do then!
“I can’t stay here anymore.”
Since he couldn’t think of a solution for the time being, then before he could think of a solution, he should try his best not to meet her and leave the sect to hide.
At this thought, Su Yan glanced at the little fox, then at the spiritual plant encyclopedia. Thinking of what the little one had just said, it seemed very obvious where to go.
…
“You’re leaving the sect to collect medicinal herbs? That’s fine too.”
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Bai Shuixin agreed without much thought.
Before, she had thought he was just a delicate boy. But now, the results proved that she had been mistaken. He had the potential to be no less than an outstanding woman.
