Chapter 75 – Trying To Act Like A Mysterious Bigshot
"Qing Yi~" As Qing Yi was making her way back towards her master's mountain peak, a person suddenly came out of nowhere and hugged her.
"Zeng Shihan!?" Turning around to see the person in question, Qing Yi easily managed to identify her friend as she smiled happily.
"Are you not really busy at the moment; how come you are out here?" As she thought about it, Qing Yi remembered that Zeng Shihan was really busy at the moment with doing some stuff for the sect and did not have much time to hang out with her or Zhi Ruo anymore.
"Ah, yeah I have to go, we are having a meeting soon about some recent plagues that have started up in some villages. Hopefully, we will be able to find a way to deal with it before it gets out of control." Wearing a slightly worried look, Zeng Shihan told Qing Yi as she shook her head slightly at the thought of the plague spreading.
"I see… I won't hold you up any longer then…" Knowing that Zeng Shihan had something serious to deal with, Qing Yi exchanged a quick goodbye before both of them made their way in opposite directions.
Qing Yi felt a little worried about her family when she heard about the plague spreading, but from what she had heard it was only in a few villages far away from Bright Sun City, so there was no need for her to worry.
Even then, Qing Yi still felt a little worried when she heard about the plague that had been spreading recently.
No matter what, it would not help worrying over something that she had no control over in the first place.
"Maybe…"
If I become a skilled alchemist, I could make medical potions or pills to help people, for a… Manageable sum…
As Qing Yi thought about the amount of spirit stones that making medical pills or potions could earn her, she felt like she was on cloud nine as she felt her enthusiasm for alchemy burn even stronger than before.
…
As Qing Yi was both worried about the recent news of a plague spreading among the villages inside the Flying Sword Sects territory and excited about how much she would be able to earn by becoming a skilled alchemist, Chu Yang finally managed to find Zhi Ruo after searching the pavilion for a little over one hour.
"You… Hah… Do you…. Hah… Know where Elder Xuan's room is…?" breathing in and out slightly exhausted from running around the pavilion for the last hour, Chu Yang looked at Zhi Ruo calmy watering a few plants beside the pavilion. Completely ignoring him in the process.
"Miss? Do you know where Elder Xuan's room is located?" Calming down a bit, Chu Yang realized something as he tried to act more politely towards Zhi Ruo.
No matter what, she was still a servant of a Core Elder of the Flying Sword Sect and at the moment he did not really have any background so to speak… Being rude towards her would most likely not yield anything…
And for some reason, he had a bad premonition that being rude towards this servant called Zhi Ruo would most likely end badly for him down the line…
"Just go to the centre of the pavilion… The master of the pavilion's room is mostly located there anywhere you go…" Talking in a slightly teasing tone of voice, Zhi Ruo tried her best to say where the room of Elder Xuan was located without laughing at how Chu Yang couldn't even figure out something so simple.
"…" Feeling his face going slightly red, Chu Yang thought what she said made sense and he honestly had no idea why he himself did not think about it beforehand.
"I-I will be on my way then!" Not wanting to stay there for even a second longer, Chu Yang quickly darted back into the pavilion and made his way towards the centre area where Xuan Hao's room was located.
"Bahahaha~!" Breaking into a loud laughter, Zhi Ruo looked smilingly towards the direction where Chu Yang had disappeared.
Looks like the disciple that Elder Xuan had decided to take in was a little… No… He was not really on the bright side when it came to some things…
As Chu Yang made his way towards the inner area of the pavilion, he soon came to a stop in front of a door leading to a room located in the centre of the pavilion.
"Come in!" Just as he came to a stop, a majestic voice echoed out from within, as the door slowly opened on its own.
*gulp
Feeling a cold wind passing by, Chu Yang shivered slightly as he looked inside the completely dark room beyond the door.
"Are you going to come in or are you going to just stand there staring inside all day long?" As he contemplated whether to enter or not, the voice from earlier sounded out again as Chu Yang felt a slight impatience from the voice this time around.
"Y-yes…!" Not knowing who he answered, Chu Yang entered the dark room timidly.
*creak
The moment he entered the room, Chu Yang looked back and saw the door slowly close behind him. Sealing his only way out.
No matter what, he had no way back anymore and he could only face whatever hid in the darkness bravely!
Meanwhile, as Chu Yang looked like he was about to face a deadly enemy, Xuan Hao smiled wryly.
Why do you look like I'm some big bad guy who is about to attack you? Why do you look so scared? I only wanted to give off the aura of a mysterious bigshot and awe you… Not give off some horror movie vibes…
"Hah…" As Xuan Hao looked at the increasingly cautious and prepared to fight to the death expression on Chu Yang's face, Xuan Hao flickered his finger as the curtains that he had used to cover the windows fell down, causing the light from outside to spill in and light up the formerly dark room.
"!" Chu Yang was surprised by the room suddenly becoming bright and forgot to pay any attention to the person sitting in a meditative position in the middle of the room.
"Ahm…" Trying to get him to pay attention, Xuan Hao made a fake coughing sound, causing Chu Yang to turn around and look at Xuan Hao with a surprised look before he knelt down on the floor.
