Chapter 191: The Opportunity Given By Chen Yan
After Ren Zeyuan left, his originally gentle face instantly turned cold. “Order people to watch over them. We absolutely can not let them run around randomly. If they encounter the City Lord’s illness…”
He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became even more unsightly.
His subordinate was somewhat puzzled as he asked, “If that’s the case, why don’t we let them refine pills on top? Instead, we have to expend so much effort. If they encounter any danger or meet with an unexpected accident on the City Lord’s side, wouldn’t it cause more trouble?”
The Vice City Lord’s gaze immediately became somewhat meaningful. He turned his head to take a look, and a dark color surged within. It was like a vicious beast that was in hibernation, carefully concealing its traces.
The subordinate felt that the Vice City Lord before them was actually an unprecedented stranger. Even the aura that he emitted caused people to shudder, and it was filled with a cold and bloodthirsty scent.
“You don’t understand. These people will be of great use in the future…”
“What use?”
His subordinates wanted to continue asking, but when they opened their mouths, they saw Ren Zeyuan’s indifferent gaze. It was more like a beast’s gaze, devoid of any human emotions.
“You seem to have a lot of questions. Have you forgotten what I said earlier?”
Curiosity kills the cat!
His entire body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He could not help but s.h.i.+ver and quickly lowered his head. His mind was completely blank. He could clearly feel Ren Zeyuan’s gaze sweeping over his head. The places that he had swept over, gooseb.u.mps appeared on his skin.
It was as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake hissing and spitting out its tongue. A chill rose from the bottom of his feet. At this moment, Ren Zeyuan was getting closer and closer to him.
The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence. There was an inexplicable strangeness. He could not help but swallow his saliva. Cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.
“Report!”
At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly came over and finally pulled him out of this strange atmosphere.
When he raised his head again, everything returned to calm. Ren Zeyuan’s expression also returned to a gentle state. It was as if it was just an illusion. He heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, he felt as if he had just returned from the gates of h.e.l.l.
“What’s the matter?”
“Master sent someone over to tell me that the City Lord’s situation seems to be a little more serious. We need to find the Howling Moon Inner Wolf’s inner core as soon as possible.”
Ren Zeyuan waved his hand. “I understand.”
“Any news from manager Zhao?”
His subordinate quickly replied, “Although there’s news, I’m not entirely sure. After all, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is too rare.”
At this point, Ren Zeyuan sighed, “If only I had bought the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf from Jin Daya.”
Unfortunately, they had received the news too late. When they rushed over, Lin Bai had already taken the lead and released the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.
Chen Yan could not help but say, “We still haven’t found the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is yet?”
Ren Zeyuan nodded. “I’ve sent a lot of people over. Not even a single strand of wolf hair has been found.”
The two of them did not expect that Lin Bai would lie about this matter. After all, they were already on the same boat.
“Then what should we do now?”
“We can only pray that elder Yan and the others can delay for a little longer and give us a chance. Maybe we can even find the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s inner core.”
These words were said lightly, but Chen Yan knew that Yan Hua and the others had already given their all and used everything they had. It seemed like it was necessary for him to make a trip to find Lin Bai.
After what had happened just now, everyone had obediently stayed in their positions and refined the medicinal pills in an orderly manner. Even their efficiency had increased by quite a bit. It could be seen that Ren Zeyuan’s words just now, had quite a big impact on them.
Lin Bai, on the other hand, had a slight headache. Although he was in this underground building, it was as good as when he was in the City Lord’s Estate. At least his movements weren’t restricted, and he didn’t have so many people by his side. At the very least, he could summon Little Treasure and the others to scout out the situation.
But now, with so many pairs of eyes watching, any small movement could be immediately discovered, not to mention gathering information. But the problem was now, what reason and excuse should he come up with before he could leave.
Lin Bai did not expect that someone would give him a pillow when he was dozing off. Soon, a great opportunity would be placed in front of him.
As Chen Yan was Yan Hua’s disciple, in addition to Yan Hua’s high status and he was the main force leading the treatment of the City Lord, Chen Yan’s status also rose with the tide. He was different from other alchemists. His freedom was not restricted.
Chen Yan pulled Lin Bai to the side, “Right now, the Vice City Lord and the others are searching everywhere for the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Even if they send people to other cities, they won’t be able to make it in time with the teleportation array. The City Lord’s situation is getting worse and worse. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to hold on until then. If you know where the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is, you should quickly report it. Don’t hide anything.”
Ever since Lin Bai entered the City Lord’s Estate, it could be said that his life was in the hands of the City Lord’s Estate. He did not expect Lin Bai to lie about the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. He did not have the need nor the courage to do so.
Chen Yan’s words were entirely based on his own idea. After all, Yan Hua and the others were extremely busy with the City Lord’s illness. They had found most of the other important medicinal herbs except for the inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Until now, there had been no news of it.
Ren Zeyuan had finally heard that there were traces of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf in the city of Qing. However, even if there was a teleportation array, it would take nearly seven days to go back and forth. There was no guarantee that they would be able to find the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.
Yan Hua and a few other elders had not slept for several days, so Chen Yan wanted to share the burden with them.
Lin Bai felt that there was a chance when he heard his words.. He probed, “Then what do you want me to do?”
