738. Against the Current (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Ye Qingcheng and Chen Xiaoyao stood in front of a mirror, which clearly reflected what was happening in Chen Fan’s room.
“Senior Chen, are you sure you are not going to check on young master Chen?” Asked Ye Qingcheng.
Chen Xiaoyao closed his eyes, “No, he probably doesn’t want to see me at all.”
Ye Qingcheng looked at him, “Senior Chen, young master Chen seems to have some misunderstanding about the relations.h.i.+p between you and Chen Tianmiao.”
Chen Xiaoyao smiled helplessly, “I know.”
Chen Fan mistook that Chen Tianmiao was his illegitimate child, or even thought that he was only taken as a s.h.i.+eld. He didn’t know how to explain it to his son for now.
Ye Qingcheng looked at Chen Xiaoyao, smiled awkwardly. Even an upright official finds it hard to settle a family quarrel! About the matter between Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Fan, she’d better stay out of it.
“It seems young master Chen is really determined! The Ice Formula is hard to practice, many people gave up halfway.” Ye Qingcheng smiled and said so.
Chen Xiaoyao’s corner of mouth curved, “Miss Ye, you think too highly of him.”
Ye Qingcheng gave him an eye, “Senior Chen, Mo Fei and Xiao Chen…”
Chen Xiaoyao closed his eyes, “Cooperate with them as far as possible.”
Ye Qingcheng looked at him surprisingly, “But senior…”
Chen Xiaoyao said helplessly, “Since Fan chose to trust them, I should respect his choice.”
Chen Xiaoyao pulled out a piece of flaming jade and gave it to Ye Qingcheng, “Give this to Fan for me.”
“This is Xuanyang Jade?!” Ye Qingcheng’s eyes widened.
Chen Xiaoyao nodded, “Yes!”
Holding the jade in her hand, Ye Qingcheng could feel her heart was pounding fast. Xuanyang jade was the extreme treasure in the world. Any fire awakener who got it would progress very fast. If it hadn’t been that this jade belonged to Chen Xiaoyao, those elders with fire properties in the sect would have already fought each other for it. With this jade, when having another cold poison attack, Chen Fan could be able to suppress it.
…
“Let’s go to the star herbs shop.” Mo Fei said to Xiao Chen seriously.
Xiao Chen blinked, “What for?”
“Don’t you want to buy star herbs?” Asked Mo Fei.
Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei, “Aren’t you reluctant to spend your star crystals anymore? Last time you said I bought too many, and said that it is a black s.h.i.+p, and you do not want to go there again for the rest of your life.”
Mo Fei said disapprovingly, “No, no, no, just some star crystals, just spend as many as you want.”
Xiao Chen e looked at Mo Fei, eyes beaming, “Feifei, finally!”
Mo Fei shrugged. “Well, I’ve straightened out my thinking. Just some star crystals! They are used to buy stuff. If none left, we can earn more.”
Xiao Chen widened his eyes, “Wow! Never expected that I could wait till the day you become so generous! Let’s go.”
Mo Fei, “…”
“Xiao Chen, our s.h.i.+fu asks to see you.” A clear and distant sound cut in at this time.
That girl gave Mo Fei a cold look, with some disgust and jealousy in her eyes.
Seeing the girl, Xiao Chen instantly looked a bit helpless.
“I’ll go to see my s.h.i.+fu first.” Xiao Chen said to Mo Fei as he spread out his hands.
Mo Fei looked at the appearance of Xiao Chen, nodded while saying, “Just go. I’ll wait for you in the star herbs shop.”
Xiao Chen hurriedly nodded, “Ok, wait for me there, I’ll be over soon, I still need a lot of star herbs. Don’t you run away.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t. Come back as fast as you can.” Mo Fei said.
Xiao Chen nodded and followed the girl to leave.
Mo Fei looked at Xiao Chen’s back and sighed lightly.
After getting out of the sight of Mo Fei, Xiao Chen converged the smile on the face, looked at the girl while asking, “Senior sister, is s.h.i.+fu going to preach me again?”
The girl cast a glance at him, “You should not stay too close to Mo Fei.”
“But he’s nice.” Xiao Chen helplessly said.
The girl helplessly looked at him, “You’d better draw a clear line with him now, and stop meddling in Chen Fan’s stuff again, otherwise, it’d be too late.”
“Does s.h.i.+fu still want me to give up?” Xiao Chen asked sullenly.
The girl nodded, “About Chen Fan’s affair, you shouldn’t have interfered at the very beginning, if he is an ordinary person, it’d be nothing, but, he happens to be the son of a heavenly cla.s.s master.”
Xiao Chen lowered his head. Many pharmacists in the sect were interested in the top ten poisons, but these people all feared of Chen Xiaoyao, so no one dared to act recklessly, if Chen Fan was only an ordinary person, he should have already been reduced to the elders’ guinea pig. It would never be his turn.
Xiao Chen smiled, “Senior sister, I can’t turn round now, and I also want to see where I can go.”
The girl frowned, “Xiao Chen, do you know how many people complain about you before our s.h.i.+fu recently?”
Xiao Chen twitched his mouth, “Just a bunch of boneless old men, they have no ability to work out the potion against the top ten poison, while I am too bold to work on it? After I work out the antidote, see what they still have to say.”
The girl stared at Xiao Chen, shook her head while saying, “Xiao Chen, you are too arrogant.”
Looking at him coldly, the girl continued, “You go to explain it to our s.h.i.+fu by yourself.”
