The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Ye Yuan was Ji Fengyan’s tutor and she should visit him during her return—just that it shouldn’t be such an urgent matter. Yet, Ji Ru hadn’t even exchanged many words with her before urging her to go look for Ye Yuan. This was somewhat peculiar.

The only way to find out what was going on was to go look for Ye Yuan.

Ji Fengyan first went to the martial arts arena, but learned that Ye Yuan had been unwell and was resting in his room. She then turned around and went to Ye Yuan’s room. Before she could knock, Ye Yuan’s voice sounded out.

“Is that Fengyan?”

“Yes,” Ji Fengyan answered.

“Leave your companion outside. Come in alone.” Ye Yuan’s voice drifted out.

Linghe was astounded; How did Ye Yuan know Ji Fengyan had a companion?

Linghe wanted to tell Ji Fengyan something, but she had him remain quiet and wait outside. She then entered the room alone.

It was high noon and the sun was shining brightly. Ye Yuan’s room was spartan with only a few pieces of basic furniture. There were no luxurious fittings at all.

Ye Yuan was sitting behind his desk and writing on a piece of paper. He did not look up even after Ji Fengyan entered the room, but just said, “Please have a seat first.”

Ji Fengyan complied and looked on as Ye Yuan continued writing.

After a while, Ye Yuan finally set down his brush. He exhaled and leaned back against his chair. He then looked up at Ji Fengyan.

“It was Ji Ru who asked you to come.”

Ji Fengyan nodded. “Grandfather said tutor was not well.”

Ye Yuan chuckled and shook his head resignedly. “That old fellow. He still behaves so awkwardly after so many years. I am very well, but have been feeling lazy these few days. So I made up some excuses and have not been to the martial arts arena. Your grandfather knew that.”

Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.

Ye Yuan looked at Ji Fengyan. “Your grandfather asked you to look for me, as he wants me to tell you something.”

“Tell me something?” Ji Fengyan looked astonished. Ji Ru wanted to tell her something, but… needed Ye Yuan to help him pass the message… it must be something… very complicated.

Ye Yuan nodded. “Today, regardless of what I tell you, you must immediately forget it the moment you leave this room. If not… it will bring major trouble for you, me and your grandfather. Do you understand?”

Ye Yuan’s tone was extremely stern. Ji Fengyan felt a sense of foreboding. Whatever Ye Yuan was going to tell her must be very serious.

“At the beginning, I had no inclination to teach anyone. I just happened to meet your grandfather and owed him a personal favor—and so agreed to stay on with the Ji family. It can be said that your grandfather is kind of my benefactor and savior.” Ye Yuan spoke slowly and blandly, betraying no emotion at all.

“Rumor has it that you have been doing very well since you enlisted. Together with the Green Nightmare Army and the Blaze Army, you have regained the Plain of Corpses,” said Ye Yuan.

Ji Fengyan didn’t understand why Ye Yuan was suddenly raising this matter, and just nodded.

“Yes.”

Ye Yuan smiled. “The younger generation is a force to be reckoned with. You are truly my disciple.”

Ye Yuan then suddenly changed the subject. He looked gravely at Ji Fengyan. “Fengyan, tell me honestly. Have you ever used the World-Termination-Armour?”
