Since this was Jeang Zier’s master, Su Yang gave her so face, invited her to sit down in the living room, and even had tea served.
The Third Elder was not polite to Su Yang at all; she had never suffered such humiliation before. After entering, she was first besieged, then verbally attacked by Su Yang, and had long been fuming with anger. If it weren’t for Jeang Zier’s sake, she definitely wouldn’t let Su Yang off.
Therefore, she didn’t even drink the tea on the table and got straight to the point: "Cut the nonsense, I am here today to take my disciple away!"
"Ah?" Jeang Zier was taken aback, her master was too direct, right? Couldn’t you at least make so preliminary conversation?
"Take her away?" Su Yang smiled faintly: "Why?"
"What do you an ’why’!" The Third Elder flared up: "She is my disciple; I want to take her away, what’s wrong with that? Since when does soone from dicine Sect have to explain their actions to others?"
Su Yang’s smile faded. He had given the Third Elder so respect for Jeang Zier’s sake, but that didn’t an he was afraid of her, nor did it an she could show off in front of him.
Besides, with the Third Elder’s temperant, if Jeang Zier really went with her to the dicine Sect, who knew how much suffering she would endure.
The reputation of dicine Sect might impress others, but in front of Su Yang, who possessed the Destiny’s To, it ant nothing. The things Jeang Zier could learn at the dicine Sect might not be as much as she could learn from Su Yang.
"Is the Third Elder implying to abduct soone?" Su Yang said coldly.
"What abduction!" The Third Elder shouted angrily: "She is my disciple, of course, she should co with , isn’t that logical?"
"Have you even asked her if she’s willing to go with you?" Su Yang asked in return.
"Nonsense, why would I even need to ask!" The Third Elder said indignantly: "If she goes to the dicine Sect with , she’ll definitely be able to inherit my mantle, becoming my successor. In the future, she might even inherit my position and beco an Elder of the dicine Sect. Then, no one in this world would dare to disrespect her!"
"Is that so?" Su Yang sneered, flicked his sleeve, and directly smashed the teacup in front of the Third Elder onto the ground.
"What are you doing!" The Third Elder shouted angrily.
"You said no one in this world dares to disrespect you?" Su Yang sneered, "But, I just happen to not take you seriously!"
"You’re courting death!" The Third Elder shouted furiously.
"You dare to kill ?" Su Yang retorted.
"You..." The Third Elder wanted to lash out in anger, but looking at Old Wang the Second and the others watching closely, she swallowed her anger. She did want to kill Su Yang, but only if she could actually win.
"I don’t want to waste words with you!" The Third Elder said gravely: "Don’t think just because you are powerful, you can intimidate her. You are ruining her future, such selfishness, you are utterly unfit to be a person!"
"Heh..." Su Yang chuckled coldly: "Who is the selfish one, you or ? You haven’t even asked for her opinion and are determined to take her away. Third Elder, if you want to take her, shouldn’t you at least ask what she wants first?"
"Is that even sothing that needs to be said?" The Third Elder said angrily: "Of course she is willing to co with !"
Su Yang sneered silently, his face heavy with mockery.
The Third Elder, infuriated, turned to Jeang Zier: "Zi’er, are you willing to co with to the dicine Sect?"
Prior to this, Jeang Zier had held great admiration for the dicine Sect in her heart. In fact, after refining dicine with the Third Elder in the mountains last ti, she had intended to discuss with Su Yang about going to the dicine Sect after finding him.
However, after nearly being humiliated by Wang Ding and his people, and learning that the dicine Sect intended to hurt Su Yang thereafter, her good feelings towards the dicine Sect had faded.
The reason she was polite to this Third Elder was after all because he was her acknowledged master. Moreover, the Third Elder had indeed treated her well, unlike the other people from the dicine Sect.
But to go to the dicine Sect again, she was sowhat unwilling now; her heart had begun to resist the idea of joining the dicine Sect.
"Master, I... I feel that my aptitude is dull, and I’m really not suited to practice in the dicine Sect..." Jeang Zier said softly.
The Third Elder was stunned; wasn’t this the plan they had agreed upon before? They had settled on going to the dicine Sect, so why had she suddenly changed her mind?
"How... How are you of dull aptitude now?" the Third Elder asked urgently: "You have excellent aptitude; I’ve told you, you are the most talented young person I’ve ever seen. If you follow to the dicine Sect, you will definitely inherit my mantle and beco the strongest alchemist in the dicine Sect!"
"Master, I really... am not suited to go..." Jeang Zier repeated softly.
"What’s the matter with you? What exactly has happened? Did... Did soone threaten you?" As the Third Elder spoke, his eyes drifted towards Su Yang, clearly regarding him as the villain.
"It’s not that!" Jeang Zier hastened to say: "No one has threatened . It’s... It’s that I myself don’t want to go..."
"How is that possible?" The Third Elder imdiately said: "That’s the dicine Sect! How could you possibly not want to go? Once you inherit my mantle, you will be among the highest-ranking people in this world; how could you not want to go? It must be that Su fellow threatening you, right? You don’t need to be afraid, with your master here, he wouldn’t dare do anything to you!"
Su Yang sarcastically responded: "Third Elder, don’t be overly confident. Don’t forget that if it hadn’t been for Jeang Zier’s intervention just now, you probably would be dead."
"You dare to kill !" the Third Elder glared and said: "Do you have any idea of the consequences of killing ?"
"What consequences?" Su Yang sneered: "People from your dicine Sect are already trying to dismber ; is there really a more terrifying punishnt than that? Since it’s impossible to have a cordial relationship with the dicine Sect, no matter what I do, you will co after . Therefore, it’s better for to kill a few more from the dicine Sect. Killing one pays for itself; killing two earns one extra, wouldn’t you agree?"
Utterly enraged, the Third Elder nonetheless dared not rebut Su Yang. She finally understood Su Yang’s situation and realized that she truly couldn’t threaten him, so naturally she beca much more subdued.
"Regardless, you don’t need to worry, people from our dicine Sect will soon arrive in Capital City, and I will protect you!" the Third Elder comforted Jeang Zier.
"Master, I’m really not going to the dicine Sect, no matter what I won’t go!" Jeang Zier couldn’t hold back anymore and said directly: "No one threatened , nor did anyone say anything to , but I just won’t go to the dicine Sect!"
"Why?" The Third Elder beca anxious, this developnt was sothing she hadn’t expected at all. In her view, being able to enter the dicine Sect was an opportunity that everyone in the world would vie fiercely for. Furthermore, becoming her personal disciple and inheriting her mantle was an opportunity even more sought after than prayers could grant.
What happened to Jeang Zier? Why did she suddenly beco like this?
