Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 148

Chapter 0148 Xiang Zhong!
“Master, since you have never objected to me calling you Master, then no matter how high my position in the imperial capital is in the future, even if I become the general president, you will still be my Master!” Qin Fei’s eyes were slightly red.

Although Old Man Chen’s master had come at a very cheap price, he had treated him well.

Right now, Qin Fei respected this master from the bottom of his heart.

‘”Ah … The status of the Pill Master Association is strict. If you are higher than me, calling me master is not allowed. Those who are capable are greater. Don’t you understand this logic?” Old Man Chen glanced at him.

“Earlier, I didn’t know that you were such a strong pill refiner. Taking you as a disciple was only because I took a fancy to your little lion, but now it’s different.”

“I don’t care. Anyway, I’ll call you Master for the rest of my life!” Qin Fei said stubbornly. He didn’t care about the rules. He lived his life on his own. What does the headquarters have to do with him?

Seeing how stubborn he was, Old Man Chen sighed and didn’t say anything else. He stood up and walked to the door, “Go to bed early. Tomorrow, compete with the person Deng Yue found. Whoever is stronger will go to the Imperial Capital! The people from Zhou City should be here tomorrow, and the people from Zhou City will be the judges.”

“Wait, Master! Let me tell you something. You’ve seen Ruan Ming before. His pill refining ability is very strong!” Qin Fei suddenly remembered what he saw during the day and hurriedly told Old Man Chen.

“At least twice the speed of an ordinary person!” Old Man Chen cried out in alarm. His eyes widened to the point of being the boss. It was extremely unbelievable.

“Yes! Everyone saw it at that time. If you don’t believe me, go ask Eldest Brother and the others!” Qin Fei said solemnly.

He also knew that this news was truly shocking. Ruan Ming’s ability was indeed enough to overlook all the heroes!

With his super-fast pill refining speed, this ability was probably even more important than Ao Tian and the others’.

“I believe you! I’m going back first. Damn it, where did Deng Yue find such a pervert? Why didn’t he die of anger today?” Old Man Chen muttered as he left. Qin Fei was stunned by his last words. That made sense. If he had known Old Man Chen’s story, he would have definitely added fire to it.

“Young Master, do you want me to kill the boy surnamed Ruan?” The Iron Scepter had been listening to them from the side, but he did not say anything. Seeing that the conversation between the two was over, he said with murderous intent in his eyes.

“What are you doing killing him for? If you want to kill him, we’ll talk about it after we leave this place. Otherwise, it will cause trouble for Old Man Chen! Oh right, come with me. Send a big gift to Deng Yue tonight, hehe …”

The next day, before dawn, the Southern Mountain Prefecture branch suddenly went into chaos. All the pills in the branch were gone, and all the members panicked.

“Master, they must have used the pill bird to suck all the pills away! Why don’t you just kill them?” On the top floor of the pill tower, Ruan Ming looked at Deng Yue doubtfully.

Deng Yue’s face was ashen and he was suppressing his anger. He said gloomily, “We can’t kill him!” The state government already knows that they have come to my place this time, and the people from the state government will arrive today. Once we kill them, we won’t be able to get away with it! This bastard Chen Shinan is simply courting death. He actually dared to steal all of our pills. He didn’t leave a single one behind. There are a total of more than 200 Mortal Martial Pills. It’s really cheap for them! However, this matter will not be settled just like that. Once they leave the Southern Mountain Manor, they will be captured in one go! ”

He thought carefully. Although he was eager to obtain Dan Que and kill Chen Shinan’s group, now was not the time to make a move. He was not stupid enough to kill in his own territory.

Ever since he discovered that the pill had disappeared, he had already known that it was definitely done by Chen Shinan and the others. However, he did not make a sound. Instead, he pretended that he did not know, causing everyone to panic. The purpose was to paralyze Chen Shinan and the others and make them think that they did not know about the existence of the pill bird. This way, it would be much easier for them to do things in the future.

“Go down and prepare well! Let them experience your Gale Pill Refining Technique when you compete with them! You are only allowed to succeed this time and not fail!” Deng Yue suppressed the anger in his heart.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Ruan Ming’s face as he said softly, “But Master, they have Dan Que in their hands. No matter how hard I try, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape defeat in today’s competition!”

He was especially unsure. The other party had Dan Que who could silently absorb pill power from the sky. No matter how good a pill he refined, it wouldn’t help. In an instant, it would become someone else’s thing!

“Don’t worry, the lords from Zhou City are present. They don’t dare to act recklessly. Once they are discovered, Old Man Chen knows the consequences!” Deng Yue said confidently.

Only then did Ruan Ming let out a sigh of relief and turned around to prepare.

On Qin Fei’s side, Old Man Chen looked at everyone seriously, explaining the significance of today’s competition. Then, he stared at Qin Fei and scolded, “Good disciple, did you do what happened last night again?”

“Hehe!” Qin Fei laughed dryly.

‘”You brat, you always make people uneasy! Don’t do such things in the future! What if there are experts here and they discover Mr. Iron Staff? Also, we are all from the Pill Masters Association after all. We can’t involve other pill masters in our personal grudges. We won’t do this again!” Old Man Chen’s helpless expression appeared on his face. He realized that Qin Fei would really cause trouble for him.

“Master, don’t worry. I promise that I won’t do such a thing again in the future. I just felt that Deng Yue was unhappy and did it!” Qin Fei hurriedly promised.

‘”Alright, I have to put it in my heart! Everyone, get ready. Qin Fei, remember, don’t use any more tricks from Dan Que today. If the lord of Zhou City finds out, we will lose the chance forever. Furthermore, we won’t be able to defeat him in this way!” Old Man Chen said solemnly.

Qin Fei curled his lips and could only agree. Actually, he really had that thought. If he tried to do it again today, he would lose all face to the Southern Mountain Prefecture branch. However, since Old Man Chen had already spoken, he could only endure this thought.

After breakfast, Deng Yue personally came to inform Old Man Chen and the others that the people from Zhou City had arrived. Everyone went out to greet them, not showing the slightest bit of anger towards the disappearance of the pill.

Qin Fei and the others followed Old Man Chen and Deng Yue outside the main gate to welcome the envoy from Zhou Cheng. Seeing Qin Fei, Ruan Ming smiled politely, as if he had really settled his grudges with everyone.

About half an hour later, the envoy from the prefecture arrived late.

Deng Yue and Old Man Chen quickly walked up to greet him. The old messenger was a middle-aged man with a serious and rigid expression. His eyes were not big, and he looked at anyone with a bright gaze. It was as if he could see through each other. His entire body was organized meticulously, filled with a feeling of refusal to leave a thousand miles away.

He wasn’t moved at all by Deng Yue and Old Man Chen’s enthusiasm. He only nodded politely and didn’t even have a smile. He maintained a rigid and serious expression.

Following that, Qin Fei and the others bowed towards him. This person still had a serious expression, as if someone owed him millions of gold coins, giving off an invisible feeling of indifference.

“Lord Xiang, please come in. I have prepared a banquet for you!” Deng Yue quickly walked a few steps and followed behind him, smiling with courtesy.

“What banquet is this morning? Hurry up and start the competition! When the results are out, I will immediately report back!” Lord Xiang coldly looked at Deng Yue, not moved by his attentions at all, and his tone was extremely harsh.

Deng Yue ate a turtle, but he didn’t dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He could only nod and bow, “Yes, yes, Your Excellency is right. Forget about the banquet, let’s go to the competition grounds immediately!”

After Lord Xiang and Deng Yue left, Qin Fei couldn’t help but laugh secretly. This Deng Yue flattered the horse’s leg. Lord Xiang was a wonderful person with a stern expression. Originally, Qin Fei was worried that this was Deng Yue’s home court. The envoy from the prefecture would definitely take care of the Prefecture City. Now that he saw Lord Xiang, he was finally relieved. It must be a fair and impartial competition!

“Don’t laugh! Lord Zhong is the branch president of the Prefecture City. His status is higher than ours. He is famous for being unselfish. No matter who he is, he only recognizes reason and doesn’t recognize people. When he was a county magistrate, Once, when he went to the headquarters to report on his work, a high-ranking elder from the headquarters asked him for benefits. He said that he could be arranged to go to the headquarters. In the end, not only did he not give the elder any benefits, he instead reported the elder to the head of the headquarters. The elder was expelled from the Pill Master Association, and he was no longer a member of the Pill Master Association for the rest of his life.
