Chapter 711 – The matter of accepting a disciple (11)

Each and every one of them were well-known apothecaries in Eastern Ling Empire. The lowest level among them was an Intermediate Apothecary, but now, they had lost to an Elementary Apothecary. How could you ask them to endure this?

Even more so, they basically didn’t understand, why did Grandmaster Rong Yun allow that girl to pa.s.s the qualifying round?

Compared to other people, Emperor Jing was even more shocked.

Now, his entire body sat stiffly on the dragon throne, his expression when looking at Su Luo was extremely complex.

At this moment, the words Nangong Liuyun said to him before leaving appeared in his mind.

He said that on Su Luo’s body, you should not be astonished at anything that was impossible occurring with regards to Su Luo. It was because she just happened to have that kind of good luck. If he dared to make it difficult for Su Luo, wait until he came back, he would tear the entire empire into pieces. These were the exact words Nangong Liuyun said.

Emperor Jing also remembered that when Nangong Liuyun said these words, inside the room, it was enveloped in icy frost, the temperature had dropped below freezing point. It gave him the illusion of being able to see the Grim Ripper.

Emperor Jing continued to look at Su Luo with a foolish expression, with great difficulty, he swallowed some saliva.

So many Intermediate Apothecaries and Advanced Apothecaries were all looked down by Grandmaster Rong Yun to such a degree. But Su Luo, this tiny, lowly Elementary Apothecary, actually….made it past the qualifying round?

If this wasn’t luck, then what was it?

“Your Majesty, do you want to go to the Jade Lake’s Li family….” The head court eunuch secretly suggested to Emperor Jing.

Just a moment ago, Emperor Jing had already instructed people to prepare the betrothal gift. Now, the betrothal gift had been prepared properly, it was time to send the betrothal gifts.

This kind of matter needed to be done early, it was inadvisable for it to be delayed.

At this moment, Emperor Jing’s mind was in chaos, very much tangled up. Momentarily, he didn’t know what to do that would be best.

He thought about it, and he still decided to stay put. Wait until Grandmaster Rong Yun had picked the real disciple, then discuss it. In this way, he wouldn’t be wrong again.

At that time, sending the betrothal gifts to Jade Lake’s Li family, surely Nangong Liuyun would understand.

“Had better….wait again.” Waiting until the results were out was bound to be the safest.

Emperor Jing did not believe Su Luo could win, rather it was because he trusted in Nangong Liuyun’s vision.

This kind of news always spread very quickly.

Before Su Luo even returned to the manor, this news were like a virus spreading to and within Su Manor.

Originally, Su Zian had believed that Su Luo going to the throne room would become a laughingstock. Currently, he was extremely worried about this, but suddenly, he heard such good news spreading from outside. Immediately, he was completely stupefied.

What? Su Luo actually made it past the qualifying round?

And also, she was chosen after Grandmaster Rong Yun had looked down on many Intermediate and Advanced Apothecaries. Moreover, Su Luo did all this in a situation where she arrived late. She could even pa.s.s this way? Why would the heavens be this generous to her!

In the end, just how many secrets had this girl concealed from him?

First, she hid her light under a bushel to secretly cultivate.

Afterwards, she firmly concealed her ident.i.ty as an Apothecary.

If it was not for Grandmaster Rong Yun accepting a disciple at this time, very likely, he, as her father, wouldn’t even know until the next lifetime that his daughter was actually an Apothecary.

Watching for Su Luo to return to the manor, Su Zian originally wanted to immediately go up and welcome her.

However, he thought a bit and felt that way would lose too much of his dignity and airs as a father. As a result, he gave a slight cough and sat properly in the great hall, waiting for Su Luo to pay her respects to him.

However, he waited left and right, and still could not see Su Luo returning after all the waiting.

Didn’t the servants say that this loathsome girl had returned to the manor? For more than half a day, even if she had crawled, she would still have been able to crawl from the gate to this great hall.

Su Zian held back his expression and glared at the steward who had arrived in a hurry: “Where is the Fourth Miss? Why is it that I still haven’t seen her come over?”

An awkward expression flashed across the steward’s eyes: “ Fourth, Fourth Miss directly returned to her Wisteria courtyard…”

In other words, Su Zian sitting here waiting was his own wishful thinking?

Su Zian’s complexion immediately dropped and became gloomy.

Chapter 712 – The matter of accepting a disciple (12)

He was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand: “Loathsome girl, really believe that your wings have grown strong! In the end, does she even have this father in her eyes!”

“Master, how about you personally……”

“Personally, fart! Get lost!” Su Zian, panting with rage, sat back down in the chair. He was so regretful that he was nearly gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth.

At this moment, it was very quiet in Su Manor.

Su Zian was in a rage for a while, unexpectedly, he had a slight feeling of his blood going cold.

He wanted to look for someone to talk to, but suddenly discovered that in such a huge Su Manor, he didn’t even have a single person to talk to.

Su Wan……was already thrown into the forest, even her skeleton didn’t remain behind.

Su Qing……didn’t know which great expert had saved her, didn’t know her whereabouts.

Su Jingyu……was reclining weakly on the bed, half-dead, not much alive.

Madam Su……as above.

The only person that could still walk and jump was Su Xi. However, due to his slap, he didn’t know where she had run off to.

Nowadays, in Su Manor, the only one living comfortably was Su Luo, who everyone had despised and was disdainful of from before.

Su Zian put his head in his hands. He truly couldn’t understand, just in more than half a year’s time, why had the circ.u.mstances reversed so much?

When did everything start to happen?

It was from that moment that Su Luo had woken up that everything started to change.

Su Zian’s expression now was discussing and conjuring, suddenly bright then dark. Making it hard for people to see clearly.

But speaking of Su Luo.

After returning to Wisteria courtyard, she opened that piece of paper that Grandmaster Rong Yun had given her. She had just glanced at it and couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air.

The first topic mentioned, with regards to her, was too difficult, right?

Gather seven pieces of crystal stones, divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, the seven colors, with one piece of each color.

Su Luo plaintively hugged the comforter and rolled about on her bed.

This was asking her to go where to magic out a purple-colored crystal stone huh?

Red, orange, green, cyan, and blue, these six, she really did have. It was because the Amethyst Crystal Fish in her s.p.a.ce was like a venerable hen that could lay eggs.

Moreover, her Amethyst Crystal Fish followed the three meals a day to drop a crystal stone.

Therefore, these days, Su Luo had been paying attention all along. Once a high grade crystal stone came out, she had always stored it away.

The lower grade ones were used by her and the little divine dragon to cultivate.

As a result, now, Su Luo could take out the first six colors of crystal stones. As for the last purple-colored one, she really didn’t have it.

She simply had never even seen it before.

Ten days time, making her go where to find it?

During this time, Beichen Ying made a trip to come over. Hearing the news that Su Luo was looking for a purple-colored crystal stone, he was startled until his eyes opened wide.

“Purple-colored crystal stone…isn’t this too difficult?”

Su Luo aggrievedly threw up her hands: “That’s right, only heaven knows where this piece of purple-colored crystal stone can be found.”

“Rest a.s.sured, I….” Beichen Ying was about to say more but was interrupted by Su Luo.

“Your Beichen aristocratic family, is fifty four-thousand kilometers away. You couldn’t make a round trip within ten days.” Su Luo gave a sigh.

Moreover, such a precious thing as a purple-colored crystal stone, how could Beichen Ying even ask his clan for it? She didn’t want to owe such a huge favor.

The always suns.h.i.+ne-like big boy child Beichen Ying, now had his brows tightly knotted: “ The Jade Lake’s Li family home is not far from here, more than enough to make a round trip in ten days.”

“Are you saying….Grandmaster Rong Yun is leaning on Li Yaoyao’s side?” In fact, Su Luo’s heart had always thought this way, only, she was not certain.

“Otherwise how else, it’s not three days, not five days, but exactly ten days.” Beichen Ying frowned.

“On the surface, it seems she is indeed more suited than me to be Grandmaster Rong Yun’s disciple.” Su Luo spread out her hands.

“She only knows how to make some effort on the surface. I merely doubt that having her follow along Grandmaster Rong Yun’s side for more than half a year already. How is it that Grandmaster Rong Yun did not discover her true colors?” Beichen Ying frowned suspiciously.
