434. Danta Preparation
Above the highest levels of the Pill Tower headquarters stands an extremely grand hall. This is the main hall where the three giants of the Pill Tower handle all affairs of the Pill Tower, and at this moment, two of the three giants are present in this main hall.
Opposite the two giants of the Pill Tower stood the gray-robed man, who had briefly clashed with Xiao Yan and whose strength was quite formidable. The gray-robed man had now removed his hood, revealing a young and handsome face that would undoubtedly attract the attention of any young woman. Beside him stood Venerable Mingshui, who had caused quite a stir since entering Saint Pill City.
"Wei Jiangyuan, why did you attack Song Qing without authorization inside the Pill Tower today?" The speaker had dark skin and an upright appearance, but his tone was quite dissatisfied.
The gray-robed man raised his head slightly, revealing a cynical smile, and extended two slender fingers: "President Xuan Leizi, don't be in such a hurry. First of all, Song Qing, whom your Pill Tower trained, attacked Xiao Yan first, so I intervened halfway. Moreover, that guy kept shouting from the beginning that all the responsibility was his, so I took action. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him."
The dark-skinned man was none other than Xuan Leizi, one of the giants of the Pill Tower. Hearing Wei Jiangyuan's attempt to shirk responsibility, he coldly snorted, "I know my disciple well. Song Qing is definitely at fault, but you can't really wash your hands of it all!"
Wei Jiangyuan laughed without getting annoyed, revealing a canine tooth at the corner of his mouth. His youthful and handsome face was full of amusement: "Don't be in such a hurry, President Xuan Leizi. I have no intention of shirking responsibility."
"Secondly, I do dislike that hypocritical and arrogant Song Qing. I've been thinking about our initial agreement, and it seems that it only required me to defeat the Spirit Clan and win the Pill Gathering championship. It didn't mention that I couldn't attack the people from the Pill Tower!"
"You..." Xuan Leizi was also furious at this moment, and his fighting spirit was slightly unstable. However, Venerable Mingshui, who was beside Wei Jiangyuan, stepped forward slightly to protect Wei Jiangyuan.
Wei Jiangyuan waved his hand dismissively, "Junior brother, there's no need to worry so much. This is the Pill Tower, not the Soul Hall. It's perfectly safe."
After saying that, Wei Jiangyuan was still not satisfied and gave a thumbs up to the white-haired old man next to Xuan Leizi.
At this moment, the white-haired old man beside Xuan Leizi finally raised his eyes to look at Wei Jiangyuan and slowly said, "Young Master Wei, can we stop this nonsense?"
Wei Jiangyuan's smile faded slightly as he looked at the white-haired old man and said, "My teacher told me before he left that my personality is quite annoying. Apart from being honest with the seniors of the Little Pill Tower, I must restrain myself when I encounter Senior Xuan Kongzi."
Xuan Leizi, however, understood the underlying meaning in Wei Jiangyuan's words. Wei Jiangyuan said to restrain himself when meeting Xuan Kongzi, which implied that there was no need to be careful when meeting him? However, since Xuan Kongzi had already spoken, he struggled to control himself. After all, Xuan Kongzi was the head of the three giants of the Pill Tower, and his temperament was perhaps more suitable for communicating with Wei Jiangyuan.
Xuan Kongzi also advised Wei Jiangyuan, "Young Master Wei, you are the most outstanding young talent in Zhongzhou. There is no need for you to continue to find amusement in the two of us old men."
"Okay, okay! You say, you say..." Wei Jiangyuan agreed readily, but the fangs he revealed made his promise seem less credible.
"I'll let bygones be bygones for what you did today; I'll handle it. But from now on, you can't show your face until the Pill Gathering officially begins," Xuan Kongzi said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiangyuan raised an eyebrow: "President Xuan Kongzi, haven't those guys from the Spirit Clan already made contact with the Dan and Cao families? Their intentions are so obvious, how can you still remain calm?"
The fact that the Ye, Qiu, and Bai families, three of the five major affiliated families of the Pill Tower, have sided with the Spirit Clan is not a big deal to the Pill Tower. However, the Cao and Dan families are full of experts, and both families have talented young members who will be important fresh blood for the future renewal of the Pill Tower. As long as there is a possibility, the Pill Tower will never easily give up on these two families.
Even in Xuan Kongzi's usually calm eyes, a hint of helplessness was subtly revealed: "It is precisely because the Spirit Clan's actions are so exaggerated that we must not let them realize that you have arrived. It would be truly troublesome if they actually won the Pill Gathering championship."
"Although it's boring not being able to help, I've already promised you, so I'll stay put!" Wei Jiangyuan stood up and stretched.
"But my junior brother should be fine with it, right?" Wei Jiangyuan also pointed to Venerable Mingshui.
"The Venerable Netherwater is already a well-established and powerful figure, and his high-profile appearance in Saint Pill City means he can act as he pleases."
"That's good, at least I'm not completely grounded." Wei Jiangyuan nodded in satisfaction. "By the way, President, Xiao Yan, the one I fought today, was quite strong!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi looked at Wei Jiangyuan noncommittally, seemingly waiting for Wei Jiangyuan to continue explaining.
However, Wei Jiangyuan deliberately kept the conversation hanging, and the two of them just stared at each other, maintaining this strange silence in the main hall.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wei Jiangyuan finally couldn't help but complain, "This is boring. You old guys are all so dull."
"Since Young Master Wei is interested in Xiao Yan, why don't you tell me about him?"
"Xiao Yan is very strong! His soul realm looks like he's about to break through to the Spirit Realm, and the strange fire on his body is quite magical, with such a bizarre devouring ability."
Wei Jiangyuan rested his chin on his hand and commented in an appreciative tone, "If he's going to cover for me, he's definitely more suitable than Song Qing, whom you chose. You can consider it. Don't let him join the Spirit Clan, or I'll be under a lot of pressure."
"Young Master Wei, you can rest assured. The Pill Tower will gather all its forces. Someone has already made contact with Xiao Yan. You just need to conserve your strength and make your mark at the final Pill Conference."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going." Before leaving, Wei Jiangyuan smiled and waved at Xuan Leizi in a provocative manner.
Before Xuan Leizi could make any move, it completely disappeared from the main hall.
After Wei Jiangyuan left, Xuan Leizi asked Xuan Kongzi, "Was our choice not prudent enough?"
Xuan Kongzi smiled and said, "Although Wei Jiangyuan has this kind of personality, his strength will definitely not disappoint us."
"I'm not worried about his strength," Xuan Leizi frowned slightly, "but with his unreliable nature, when facing the prodigies of the Spirit Clan head-on, will he really have the desire to compete for the championship without regard for anything else?"
"Yes, he will!" Xuan Kongzi's eyes showed no hesitation, only certainty: "After all, his teacher is that one..."
"The true number one alchemist on the continent, the Shennong Elder, who reached the ninth rank hundreds of years ago!"
