Chapter 238: One Month"s Promise
In the center of the lake, on a boat, Ye Xiao was waiting for Su Xue Er or any of her subordinates to come so that he could meet her and thank her for taking care of him all these years.
After around three hours, he saw a middle-aged man coming.
"How is this possible?"
When that middle-aged man saw Ye Xiao he was surprised at first but then his surprise transform into great shock. Just yesterday he was here to look after Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was still unconscious and his entire body was filled with horrible wounds but right now, Ye Xiao was sitting on the bed without any sign of those horrible wounds on his body.
For a moment, he thought that he might be seeing a dream but after pinching himself on his arm, he felt pain. It means that it was definitely not a dream. It really was the boy who was badly injured a day ago, but now, he was completely fine.
It has to know that even Grandmaster Song who was the grandmaster of alchemy was unable to heal him. There was no one more capable in terms of alchemy than Grandmaster Song.
Grandmaster Song once said that only a Pill King can save Ye Xiao and heal him completely. If they can invite a Pill King to heal Ye Xiao, then there is a possibility for him to be healed.
but how can a Pill King be that easy to find. It has to know that Pill Kings is someone who stands at the peak of alchemy. They can refine grade six and grade seven pills.
Let"s say that they found a Pill King and invited him to heal Ye Xiao"s injury, the Pill King himself will not accept their invitation after all, no matter what, Canglan City was still a small city.
After calming himself down, that middle-aged man took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Ye Xiao. There was a kind smile on his face as he cupped his hands and introduced himself.
"h.e.l.lo there, I am Zhong Lang. Can I ask for the name of this little brother?"
Ye Xiao also cupped his hands and replied, "My name is Ye Xiao. Are you the one who brought me here?"
From the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon, Ye Xiao knew everything that has happened with him and around him in these two years. Because of this, he easily recognized Zhong Lang.
"It was my young lady who ordered us to save you. My young lady"s name is Su Xue Er and she is the most talented person in the Su family. Oh, I forgot to tell you, you are currently..."
Zhong Lang immediately started to talk and even before Ye Xiao asked, he told him about Su Xue Er, Su Family, and Canglan City.
Ye Xiao speechlessly continued to listen to Zhong Lang.
After Zhong Lang was done, he finally asked the question that was bothering him for quite some time, "Little brother Ye, there were still countless horrible wounds on your body yesterday but there is not even a scratch right now. How?"
Ye Xiao smiled and replied with a simple answer that he has already thought about after healing his injuries. He said with a smile, "I woke up today and ate a seventh-grade healing pill."
"A seventh-grade healing pill? Brother Ye must have come from a big family of the empire, right?" Zhong Lang was shocked when he learned the pill that Ye Xiao consumed was actually a seventh-grade pill. He could not help but evaluate Ye Xiao in his for the first time.
"It is not like that. I did not come from any big family." Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "Actually I am an alchemist and the pill I ate was refined by me!"
Zhong Lang did not believe what Ye Xiao said. He looked at Ye Xiao closely and said, "Brother Ye must be joking right? You look no older than my young miss. How can you be able to refine a seventh-grade pill? If you really can, then didn"t it mean that you are already a Pill King!"
This time, Ye Xiao did not refute him. He just kept smiling and after talking for a while with Zhong Lang, he let Zhong Lang bring him to meet with Su Xue Er and the Su family"s members.
He first went to inform Su Xue Er and after returning, he brought Ye Xiao to a big hall on the second floor of the tower. There, every person of the upper echelon of the Su Family was gathered.
After Ye Xiao was brought here, he was asked many questions by the Su family"s patriarch. After all, seeing Ye Xiao safe and sound standing in front of them without even a scratch was like seeing some kind of miracle.
After answering every question of the patriarch did he got a chance to take a long breath.
The Su Family was also surprised when they heard Ye Xiao saying that the pill he ate was refined by him. No one believed him. In their eyes, Ye Xiao was just bragging. Their impression of Ye Xiao immediately went down by a few levels.
There was only one thought in the mind of the members of the Su Family.
How can there be such a young Pill King in this world?
Ye Xiao also did not try to convince them. He let them think what they were thinking but there was one person who was noticing every action of Ye Xiao.
Seeing Ye Xiao"s indifferent smile on his face, Su Xue Er was sure that he was not the kind of person who will brag. If not then why was there an indifferent smile on his face?
If he was truly bragging then right now, seeing that no one was believing him, he would have tried to convince the Su Family. But Ye Xiao did not do so. Instead, he was just casually standing in his place with his hands behind his back. There was also an indifferent smile on his face as if what others were thinking about him, he has nothing to with it.
For some reason, she started to believe that Ye Xiao might be true. He might really is a Pill King.
Anyway, since Ye Xiao has already woken up, he should go on his way otherwise he will be implicated in the Su Family"s matter and might be killed by the young sect master of the Hundred Sword Sect.
Thinking about this, Su Xue Er took a few steps forward and told Ye Xiao in detail about the trouble of the Su family and requested him to leave the Su Family as soon as possible so that he could save his life.
She told him in detail because this matter was not a secret. After going out from the Su Family, he would have learned about this matter anyway.
After learning about this matter, Ye Xiao looked at Su Xue Er whose face was covered with a thin veil but even so, it was unable to hide her beauty. She was no less beautiful than Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing"er.
When Su Xue Er told him to leave the Su Family as soon as possible, the other members of the Su Family also supported her decision and told him to leave.
Ye Xiao looked around him and saw that the elders of this family only have the strength of Martial King Realm while the strongest was only at the Martial Emperor Realm.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao decided something in his heart and said seriously while looking at Su Xue Er, "Since you have saved my life, how can I not repay you. I promise to refine pills for the Su Family for one month and in this one month, you can ask me to refine any pill you want. I will tell one last time, I really can refine sixth and seventh-grade pills."
This time, everyone also became serious as they felt the seriousness in Ye Xiao"s sentences. From what he told, he might really be a Pill King. Just thinking about it, everyone present here took a deep breath and looked at Ye Xiao as if they were looking at a treasure.
There were still many people who did not believe him including the patriarch of the Su Family but since Ye Xiao himself said that he will refine pills for one month for the Su Family, there was no loss in giving a try.
If Ye Xiao really can refine high-graded pills, it will be their Su Family"s gain and if he could not, then they will just send Ye Xiao away.
"Xue Er, take him to the third floor and give him a s.p.a.cious room!" The patriarch of the Su Family said to Su Xue Er. There was no harm for the Su Family if Ye Xiao were to refine pills for them.
