Chapter 701 Arrogant
“As for what you said about it being useful later…”
“Since I’ve already said I’m the Hall Master of the Heavenly Medical Hall, do you think I can’t make what you want?” kanshu5.xa
“The reason the Heavenly Medical Hall is so highly regarded by so many martial artists is because of the existence of elixirs. I wouldn’t dare to say I excel in other areas, but when it comes to alchemy, if someone claims to surpass me, I truly wouldn’t believe it.”
Chen Yang said this without any exaggeration.
While it’s true that there’s always someone better, alchemists are different from martial artists.
To become an outstanding alchemist, one needs not only a renowned teacher but also sufficient financial resources and experience. Even talent plays a crucial role; diligence alone isn’t enough to compensate for deficiencies.
More importantly, these three aspects are indispensable.
Chen Yang wouldn’t claim his talent to be unique, but the teachings of his master and his experience in the Heavenly Medical Hall were absolutely unparalleled.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zeyao immediately patted his head, having almost forgotten such an important matter.
Looking at Chen Yang, Zhou Zeyao smiled heartily. “The Zhou family only knew of the Heavenly Medical Hall’s excellent medical skills, never imagining you were also an alchemist. In that case, take the person away. However, you owe me a favor for this. If I ever need any elixirs refined in the future, I’ll have to rely on you!”
“Naturally. I can even offer you a discount on the service fees,” Chen Yang replied with a satisfied nod.
As long as he could take the Zhou family’s alchemist away, any condition was acceptable.
Chen Yang was also very interested in the elixirs Zhou Zeyao might want refined, as this man possessed memories that did not belong to the current era.
Zhou Zeyao might be vague about the hidden memories in his mind, but even a sliver of information revealed would be a world-shattering secret.
Just as the two were discussing matters smoothly, a gunshot suddenly rang out from outside.
Chen Yang immediately got up and walked out.
Although Zhou Zeyao had never heard a gunshot before, his body’s natural reflexes immediately told him that this sound was not normal.
As they emerged, Chen Yang saw Meng Qingxue pointing a gun at a young man.
Zhou Wenqun wiped the blood from his face, his eyes fixed on Meng Qingxue. The bullet had grazed him, and although the wound was not severe, it put immense pressure on him.
Zhou Wenqun was not weak; he had already reached the Great Heavenly Cycle. For someone his age, he was undeniably a genius martial artist.
However, a martial artist at the Great Heavenly Cycle was not enough to contend with firearms.
If this woman hadn’t been trembling just now, her bullet would have already blown his brains out.
The Grandmasters of the Zhou family nearby, upon witnessing this scene, not only failed to intervene but also scoffed, “If you had been a little more diligent, you could have perfectly dodged that bullet. Your body is too weak, causing your movement technique to falter, humph!”
Despite the mockery from his elder, Zhou Wenqun, though angered, calmly cupped his fists and replied, “Please excuse my lack of skill, Third Uncle.”
Then, Zhou Wenqun’s expression turned ferocious, and he walked step by step towards Meng Qingxue. “Little girl, you’re quite audacious. Earlier, I only wanted you to accompany me once. Now, you’re not leaving!”
Meng Qingxue couldn’t understand how he had dodged her shot. As Zhou Wenqun approached, she gritted her teeth and quickly drew a dagger from her waist.
Meng Qingxue was highly regarded by people in Modu not only for her case-solving abilities but also because she could fight!
Having interacted with Chen Yang for a while, Meng Qingxue had learned some things about martial artists.
While ordinary people couldn't defeat martial artists, it didn’t mean martial artists were invincible against ordinary people.
On the contrary, if a martial artist possessed a high realm but lacked corresponding combat ability, they could still be killed by an ordinary person.
This combat ability included not only internal energy but also, most importantly, combat experience!
Meng Qingxue possessed considerable combat experience!
Seeing Meng Qingxue dare to resist, Zhou Wenqun sneered, “I like women like you!”
As Zhou Wenqun gathered his internal energy to block Meng Qingxue’s returning dagger, his body suddenly froze.
Meng Qingxue’s dagger smoothly sliced across Zhou Wenqun’s cheek, leaving another bloody line.
This time, not only the two combatants were stunned, but even the onlookers were taken aback for half a second.
But it was only for that half a second. When an elder’s figure appeared before the two, everyone understood that Meng Qingxue’s helper had arrived.
“Professor Chen?”
No one had expected it to be Professor Chen from Southwest Academy!
This Professor Chen was actually a martial artist, and a very powerful one at that!
Before he even arrived, he had used his internal energy to immobilize Zhou Wenqun. One must remember that Zhou Wenqun was a martial artist at the Great Heavenly Cycle.
This Professor Chen was at least a Grandmaster.
The pain on Zhou Wenqun’s face instantly sobered him up. Upon seeing Professor Chen, he immediately retreated several steps.
Chen Yang looked at Meng Qingxue and quietly asked, “Are you alright?”
Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Meng Qingxue let out a sigh of relief. “I’m fine. This guy deserved it!”
Seeing Meng Qingxue’s strong reaction, Chen Yang nodded and said, “Good, I’ll deal with him for you.”
With that, Chen Yang turned to Zhou Zeyao, who had followed them, and said, “My goddaughter was bullied here. I’ll cripple one of his arms. That’s not too much to ask, is it?”
The Grandmasters of the Zhou family frowned at such arrogant words.
Zhou Zeyao, however, turned to look at Zhou Wenqun. In Zhou Zeyao’s memory, Zhou Wenqun was a spoiled brat. If not for his formidable talent, he would have been insignificant within the Zhou family. But because of his exceptional martial arts talent, he had always had things easy.
The Zhou family had sent Zhou Wenqun to the Southwest mine to make him truly experience the world and change his ways.
They never expected that after arriving, not only had he not improved, but he had become even more arrogant.
Both the current Zhou Zeyao and the former Zhou Zeyao disliked such people. kanδん
However, Zhou Wenqun was still a member of the Zhou family. As the person in charge of the Southwest mine, Zhou Zeyao couldn’t shirk his responsibility.
“Professor Chen, it’s best not to interfere in matters between young people.”
Zhou Zeyao’s gaze was filled with arrogance as he spoke.
Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn’t help but mutter, “His acting skills are really quite good!”
The Grandmasters of the Zhou family were actually somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Zeyao’s response. What if this Professor Chen was a Grandmaster?
