Eternal Saint Doctor - C140
“You, you, what did you say!” Shangguan Li grasped Qingyang’s shoulders tightly with both his hands, his originally small round eyes staring wide. The bullied chest signified that the old man was on the verge of going crazy due to his violent temper.
Qingyang knew in his heart that the Shangguan Family still valued the rankings very much. According to common sense, even if he couldn’t get first place, the top three rankings shouldn’t be a problem.
In the end, he was eliminated because of the explosion of the cauldron in the first selection. Perhaps no one could accept this fact, after all, only Qingyang was able to make such a low level mistake.
“Old gramps, don’t be so worked up. Listen to me.” Qingyang didn’t break away from Shangguan Li’s increasingly strong hands not because he couldn’t break free, but because his physical body was too abnormal and he was afraid of hurting this old man who was at the Spiritual Refinement Realm by accident.
“You, you brat, you’ve actually exploded …” Shangguan Li couldn’t understand what was going on. He couldn’t understand why Qingyang would explode, and now he even had the heart to eat Qingyang.
The Shangguan Family had originally hoped that Qingyang could shine under their own name on the medicine list, and if they could attract more and more powerful pharmacists to join them, Qingyang’s “explosion” would destroy the dreams of the people in the family.
“I was invited by Mu Chu to enter the inner circle of the Medicine Alliance.” Glancing helplessly at the furious Shangguan Li, Qingyang could only reveal the truth. “Now he’s an internal medicine master of the Medicine League.”
Shangguan Li’s hands, which had been tightly clenched, tightened even more. His facial muscles twitched for a while before he finally managed to choke out a sentence. “You, what did you say?”
“Haha, Brother Yang Chou is already an Inner Sect Alchemist in the Medicine Alliance. Congratulations.” Before Qingyang could reply, Shangguan Sheng’s voice came from behind him.
“Dun’er, why are you here?” After a moment of confusion, Shangguan Li turned to Shangguan Chen and said, “This kid actually blew up in the first selection, really …”
“You are always so loud, can I not come and take a look?” Shangguan Dun walked slowly to the two of them, smiled at Qingyang and said, “There’s no harm in blowing up the cauldrons. Brother Yang is already an inner sect alchemist of the Medicine League, isn’t there?”
Qingyang naturally knew Shangguan Li’s temper and didn’t bother about him. He flexed his sore shoulders and smiled bitterly. “Sorry to disappoint brother Shangguan, this was indeed my fault.”
He waved his hand and the smile on his face didn’t fade. “It’s fine if you say so. I’m just curious why Elder Mu only let you enter that inner sect. It’s easy for you to enter the holy gate with your talent and cultivation base.”
Helpless, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed in a low voice. “I only revealed my Foundation Establishment cultivation base, not to mention that I indicated that I am an immortal alchemist. Naturally, I cannot enter that sacred door.”
Shangguan Chen nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said: “I think it’s only a matter of time before Brother Yang enters the Holy Gate of the Medicine Alliance. Come, come, let’s talk in my study room.”
Qingyang went to the study room with Shangguan Sheng and his son. They ordered the servants to make tea and sat down, after which, Shangguan Sheng dismissed the rest.
“Ke ke, it seems that Brother Yang’s trip was not wasted. I did not expect that Old Mu would personally invite you to join the Pill Alliance.” With a sigh of admiration, Shangguan Sheng was clearly in a good mood. He was not displeased by the fact that he had lost the competition for the Medicine Board after the explosion of the Azure Sun Cauldron.
“This trip was not in vain. I even saw the old man’s friend.” Since Shangguan Dun was not displeased by this, Qingyang went straight to the point. He glanced at Shangguan Li and smiled.
“Oh? Who did you see? Does the Nan Rong family have an old friend of mine? ” Shangguan Li looked doubtfully at Qingyang and asked curiously, “Could it be that you saw some old, undead pharmacist on the medicine leaderboard say he’s my old friend?”
With Shangguan Li’s identity, he must have had nothing to do with the Nangrong family. What was the point of having some grudges to begin with? Therefore, Shangguan Li could only guess which alchemist friend had met Qingyang on the medicine list before.
“Naturally, it’s the people from the South Rong family. I lost my qualifications to participate in the first selection, how could I get to know other alchemists?” He looked at Shangguan Li with a faint smile, but still refused to say who it was.
“The Nan Rong family? “I have a friend who belongs to the Nan Rong family?!” After muttering to himself in astonishment, Shangguan Li seemed a little impatient. “Little Yang, don’t keep us in suspense. Just tell us who it is!”
“Ji Zhen.” Seeing that Shangguan Li was truly a bit anxious, Azure Sun decided not to tease the adorable old man anymore and smiled in response.
Hearing this, both Shangguan Li and Shangguan Dun were stunned. They hadn’t thought that Qingyang would meet Ji Zhen. Shangguan Li said in surprise, “You’ve met old man Ji?”
Qingyang nodded and smiled mysteriously, “Not only did I meet the Old Master Ji, I also met the Third Prince, Nan Ronglei.”
“Third Prince Nan Ronglei?” Seeing the expression on Qingyang’s face, Shangguan Sheng knew that Qingyang had something to say. Otherwise, there was no need to mention Ji Zhen or even Nan Ronglei.
“Exactly, let’s drink and chat merrily. I didn’t expect that this Third Prince would be such a straightforward person.” After praising him, Qingyang smiled and said, “That’s why I went to look for him after going back to the government office.”
Shangguan Li wasn’t as wise as his son. He naturally couldn’t understand the implications of his words. He only thought that the two of them were having some kind of discussion and might hate each other for being late or that they might kowtow and acknowledge each other as brothers.
Hearing this, the meticulous Shangguan Sheng paused for a moment, frowning slightly. He hurriedly asked, “Brother Yang, why are you looking for the third prince?”
“Help him ascend to the throne.” “Yes, father,” Qingyang responded with a smile, observing the father and son’s expressions.
For a smart man like Shangguan Sheng, he might as well say it straight out if he didn’t have to beat around the bush and give more hints. Besides, since he had already gotten to Shangguan Family from Shangguan Mu, there was no need to worry about him.
After he finished talking, Qingyang sipped the tea in his cup calmly. His peripheral vision did not leave the father and son duo, and he found their expressions especially wonderful.
Astonishment? Nervous? Excited? Excited? Expectation? Worry? It was as though a bottle of various emotions had appeared on their faces.
“Elder Brother Shangguan, Old Master? What’s wrong with you two? ” Qingyang also snickered in his heart as if he was curious about something. It was just as he had expected. No one had expected Qingyang to be so bold as to speak so straightforwardly.
“Little Yang, what did you say just now?” You can’t talk nonsense like that. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it. I didn’t hear anything. ” Shangguan Li swallowed his saliva abruptly and looked around the corner, muttering to himself.
He thought this old man was really cute, but when Qingyang saw that Shangguan Dun had yet to speak, he also coughed lightly and said, “How can this be nonsense?” “In my opinion, the Third Prince’s character, character, and ability are all more than a level above the current Emperor Nan Rong’s. In the world, if there is a wise king like Nan Rong Lei, wouldn’t he be a fortune for Nan Rong?”
Shangguan Dun didn’t speak after Qingyang made his shocking statement. He lowered his head in contemplation with a complicated expression. Perhaps this was part of his plan, but it definitely wasn’t something he heard from Qingyang under the current circumstances.
He had also expected that the Third Prince would have the intention to seize the throne, and naturally, with the help of Ji Zhen and Shangguan Li, both sides had come into contact. However, the Shangguan Family had never given Nan Ronglei any form of approval.
Shangguan Chen was not like Qing Yang, he would die if he was alone. Nearly a thousand Shangguan Family members’ lives were hanging in the air. If he agreed, and if he failed to seize the throne, the Shangguan Family would have no choice but to execute the entire family.
How could the wise Shangguan Dun agree to this without absolute confidence? What surprised him even more was that Qingyang had only gone for a few days to accept Nan Ronglei’s invitation, and had even openly chatted about it with him in his own home. This had caught Shangguan Sheng unprepared, and he naturally didn’t know how to respond.
Pausing for a moment, Qingyang shot a glance at Shangguan Chen who remained silent, before saying lightly: “Furthermore, Mu’er has also agreed to lend a helping hand to South Ronglei.”
