Chapter 180 Nanfeng Yi

"Boss! You've finally come out of seclusion!"

Feng San, who had been in a rage, turned around and saw Ye Hang, his face immediately lighting up with joy.

No one could understand how Feng San had gotten through the past month or so!

But now, seeing Ye Hang emerge from seclusion, it was all worth it!

"Tch, it's just coming out of seclusion. What's all the fuss about? Even if I'm out now, what use is it?"

Seeing Ye Hang, the servant was also quite surprised, but he quickly puffed out his chest again.

Our Drunken Star Tower is the strongest now!

Even if Ye Hang comes out of seclusion, can he turn the tide?

Impossible!

"How dare you disrespect the boss! You're asking for death!" Feng San was furious and raised his hand to strike the servant dead.

"Forget it, he's just a small fry. Let him go," Ye Hang said calmly.

Given his status, there was no need to haggle with a minor underling.

"Haha, Pavilion Master Ye is indeed a man of broad vision! I think, as long as you bow to our master at the Pill Appraisal Conference, he will be magnanimous and forgive you! Well, I've delivered the invitation. Pavilion Master Ye, I take my leave!"

The servant, truly thinking himself someone important, cupped his hands toward Ye Hang and strode away.

Feng San, grinding his teeth in anger beside him, said discontentedly, "Boss, now even a mere servant from Drunken Star Tower dares to provoke us at Medicine Fragrance Pavilion! In my opinion, we should beat him to death and show Drunken Star Tower a lesson!"

Ye Hang waved his hand and smiled, "That servant is just a nobody. Killing him would only make us seem incompetent, taking out our anger on a servant. If we want to settle the score, we go after their master!"

Feng San raised an eyebrow, catching the implication, and said joyfully, "Boss, you mean..."

Ye Hang took the invitation and said with amusement, "Wan Donghai wants to unify the Qin Kingdom's alchemy world through this Pill Appraisal Conference? It won't be that easy!"

"Haha... I knew you wouldn't give in easily!" Feng San was overjoyed, but then frowned, saying, "Boss, I heard that Wan Donghai is launching three new pills at this conference! The Gathering Yuan Pill alone has given us headaches. If three more come out, we..."

"Don't worry, Old Feng! When it comes to pills, I... well... we father and son have never been afraid of anyone! This time, we'll open everyone's eyes!" Ye Hang said with heroic spirit.

Feng San looked at Ye Hang, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Ye Hang had clearly intended to say 'I' just now, but at the last moment, he included Ye Yuan!

A grand alchemist, deliberately including his own son—why?

...

In a detached courtyard of the imperial palace, Ye Yuan was lying on a wicker chair, legs crossed, with two beautiful palace maids fanning him from behind, looking very comfortable.

"Ye Yuan! Have you refined the Beauty Pill or not! If you don't, I'll burn down this courtyard and send you to heaven!"

Nanfeng Zhirou's angry shouts shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.

Ye Yuan was startled and quickly dashed out, sure enough, he saw Nanfeng Zhirou holding a torch, pretending to set it alight, while Nanfeng Ruoqing stood behind her, covering her mouth with a smile.

This woman meant what she said; she might actually burn the place down.

"No, no, no, my dear lady, this is your family's house! Why would you burn it?"

"I don't care! If you don't refine the Beauty Pill for me today, I'll burn it down!"

"Can't you wait a couple of days? My injuries have only just healed. A couple of days ago, I refined the Yang Origin Pill, which drained my vitality. I need time to rest, don't I? Otherwise, if I ruin the Beauty Pill, wouldn't that destroy Senior Sister's peerless beauty?"

After emerging from the underground cave, Ye Yuan had Nanfeng Zhirou take him into hiding in the imperial palace. Thus, both Su Yishan and Ye Yuan disappeared at the same time.

Ye Yuan had ready-made pills on him, but his injuries this time were too severe; it took three days of recuperation before he barely recovered.

After recovering, Ye Yuan couldn't wait to refine the Yang Origin Pill and had Nanfeng Zhirou secretly deliver it to the Martial Arts Academy.

Ever since Ye Yuan recovered, Nanfeng Zhirou had been pestering him about her Beauty Pill, coming every day to pressure him into refining it.

However, Ye Yuan's physical condition was indeed not good, so he had delayed for a few days.

Today, the irritable and beauty-obsessed Nanfeng Zhirou finally couldn't hold back and came to threaten Ye Yuan.

"I don't care! I must see the Beauty Pill today!" Nanfeng Zhirou insisted.

Just then, a voice sounded behind them: "Zhirou, step back! Stop making a scene!"

"Ah, Father! I... I was just joking with Ye Yuan! Right, Ye Yuan?" Nanfeng Zhirou threatened Ye Yuan with her eyes.

The middle-aged man before Ye Yuan had a face like jade, an imposing aura, and a kingly demeanor that could not be concealed!

This man was Nanfeng Ruoqing's elder brother and Nanfeng Zhirou's father—the Qin Emperor, Nanfeng Yi!

This was also Ye Yuan's first time meeting Nanfeng Yi, who gave him a profound sense of being in control of everything.

Nanfeng Yi was sizing up Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan was also sizing up Nanfeng Yi, without any intention of bowing.

An Alchemy Emperor had the pride of an Alchemy Emperor; even if reborn, he would not kneel to a mortal emperor.

Nanfeng Yi ignored Nanfeng Zhirou and said calmly, "Ruoqing, take Zhirou and leave. I have something to discuss with Young Brother Ye."

Nanfeng Yi actually tacitly approved of Ye Yuan's discourteous behavior!

"Yes." Nanfeng Ruoqing acknowledged and led her niece away; the palace maids also withdrew.

However, though Nanfeng Ruoqing said nothing outwardly, she was deeply shocked inside.

Her elder brother had actually addressed Ye Yuan as 'Young Brother'!

Such an address undoubtedly placed Ye Yuan on an equal footing with himself!

In Nanfeng Ruoqing's memory, she had never seen her elder brother hold anyone in such high regard, and this person was merely a fifteen-year-old boy!

An emperor calling a subject 'brother'—it sounded very strange!

Although Nanfeng Ruoqing knew Ye Yuan was no ordinary boy, Nanfeng Yi's address was still enough to astonish her.

After Nanfeng Ruoqing and the others left, Nanfeng Yi and Ye Yuan entered the courtyard and sat down in a pavilion in the garden.

"These days, my daughter and sister have been under your care, Young Brother Ye. I thank you on their behalf." Nanfeng Yi began with thanks, which rather surprised Ye Yuan.

"Your Majesty, you flatter me. It was merely a small effort, not worth thanks. Besides, they have helped me quite a bit." Ye Yuan accepted it calmly without demur.

From the other's attitude, it was clear that Nanfeng Yi already knew about his affairs through the aunt and niece.

Nanfeng Yi waved his hand and said, "That's different. The help you gave them will benefit them for a lifetime!"

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Your Majesty came to see me, I'm afraid it's not just to thank me, is it? Let's get straight to the point. I don't like beating around the bush."
