25: Chapter 25 A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after three days.
Before you even walked past the fence by the thatched cottage, you saw Chen Tianxiao waiting for you outside.
When he saw you, tears were almost streaming down his face.
"Brother Lin, ahhh, Brother Lin, it's so good that you're okay!" he cried while hugging you.
How you wished Chen Tianxiao was a girl, but he was a man.
He is a man, a man, a man!
Original Body, ahhh ahhh, I want to commit suicide!
Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Actually, when he saw that Lin Si was not in any life-threatening danger, he had already thought of this issue.
Would Lin Si really have to give Chen Tianxiao...
Forget it, just thinking about it was an eyesore. He even suspected whether there was a possibility that Lin Si had been turned gay.
"If he really turned gay... just thinking about it is too beautiful." Thinking of this, Lin Heng couldn't help but feel a chill.
You didn't push Chen Tianxiao away; after all, he risked his life to save you.
He was slumped on your shoulder crying, with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Just let him slump, let him slump. After this, don't have any other thoughts about me.
"Tianxiao! Don't be rude!" The Grand Elder coughed, and Chen Tianxiao finally got up from your shoulder.
"Young Friend Lin... I wonder if Senior Wu Suanzi has fallen into madness again?" the Grand Elder asked you.
You gave him a cold look. To be honest, you didn't have a very good attitude toward the entire Liehuo Sect.
"Hmph." You snorted from your nose.
The Pill King was also nearby. He hesitated a bit, but still stepped forward and said to you: "Young Friend Lin... I..."
You could tell he wanted to apologize to you.
"Shut up!" You shouted at him: "Is 'Young Friend Lin' something you can call me? My obedient grandson!"
You are a vindictive person. You originally wanted your original body to write this guy, the Pill King, down in a little notebook so you could take revenge on this old guy when you had the strength later.
But now, ten years is too long for a gentleman's revenge; three days is enough.
Naturally, you wouldn't be polite to this old thing.
And you weren't wrong. You are the Disciple of Master Wu Suanzi. To be honest, calling the Pill King 'grandson' might have even raised this old guy's status.
"You..." The Pill King's old face flushed red when he heard you say this, but then he remembered that you were the Disciple of Master Wu Suanzi.
So he got furious for a moment, and then was angry for a moment.
He didn't dare to make a move on you, otherwise, the next time Master Wu Suanzi sobered up and found out about this, he might have to bathe in the latrine with Master Wu Suanzi in the future.
And he didn't know if Master Wu Suanzi had given you any trump cards.
The Pill King swallowed his anger and still put on a smiling face for you: "Young Friend Lin, the previous matter was my fault. I have a High Grade Medicinal Pill here that can be worth ten years of hard cultivation. Let it be a gift from this old man to apologize to you. Please accept it."
You glanced at the Medicinal Pill inside the wooden box.
This was the first time you had ever seen such a thing as a Medicinal Pill. A refreshing fragrance wafted from the round pill. Although you didn't know what grade the Medicinal Pill was, nor did you have any knowledge about Medicinal Pills.
But you were sure this was a good thing.
You snatched the Medicinal Pill and shot the Pill King a look: "Not bad, obedient grandson, you know how to give filial offerings to your grandfather."
"As long as you like it, Young Friend Lin." The Pill King didn't mind you calling him grandson. At least you had accepted the Medicinal Pill, which meant there was still room for reconciliation between you.
You reached out and patted the Pill King's head: "Not bad, not bad, good grandson. Call me grandfather again, and I'll forgive you."
The Pill King's face instantly flushed red, but he didn't dare to lash out: "Since you have already accepted the Medicinal Pill, Young Friend Lin, isn't it a bit too much to keep humiliating this old man?"
Even a clay figurine has three parts of anger, let alone the Pill King, who held a high position. Since he achieved the Innate realm, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Too much? Why didn't you say it was too much when you wanted my life earlier?" You curled your lips into a smile: "And in terms of seniority, if you call me grandfather, it's actually my loss."
"You..." The Pill King had no way to refute this statement; he knew what you said was the truth.
If he really called you grandfather, it would actually be his gain.
"Alright, alright, Young Friend Lin. A High Grade Medicinal Pill is already priceless. If it were auctioned, it would be impossible to get it for even a hundred billion. Even though Brother Li is the Pill King, it takes him half a year to make one High Grade Medicinal Pill, even if he is lucky and succeeds on the first try."
The Grand Elder saw the two of you arguing like this and hurriedly came over to smooth things over.
He looked at you: "Young Friend Lin, to tell you the truth, the Pill King hasn't slept well for these three days, just worrying that you might be unhappy. This Medicinal Pill is enough to show this old guy's sincerity in apologizing. Moreover, in our Dragon Kingdom, there is a saying that the more friends, the better, and the fewer enemies, the better. I think Young Friend Lin having one more friend like the Pill King shouldn't have many disadvantages, right?"
He looked at the Pill King again: "But regardless, imprisoning Young Friend Lin is a fact. Brother Li, how about you spend a bit more and take out three Medium Grade Medicinal Pills to give to Young Friend Lin?"
You didn't speak and looked at the Pill King. Although the Pill King was a bit reluctant, he still took out three Medium Grade Medicinal Pills.
"These are Recovery Pills. One pill can allow an Innate Grandmaster to recover thirty percent of their Internal Energy. For someone in the Transcendent realm, one pill can fully restore their Internal Energy." He said, handing the Medicinal Pills into your hands.
You couldn't say anything more. After all, you are only in the Transcendent realm right now, and you are only able to hold the Pill King in check by relying on the great mountain that is Master Wu Suanzi.
If you really angered this old guy and he really wanted to kill you, you would have to use Master Wu Suanzi's jade pendant. But if you really used the jade pendant in this place, that would truly be too much of a loss.
You looked at the Pill King and accepted his Medicinal Pills: "Since I am the grandfather, I will forgive you, grandson!"
You thought, wait until you reach the Innate realm to come back and find trouble with this old guy.
Seeing you two shake hands and make peace, the Grand Elder finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You looked at the Grand Elder and snorted coldly in your heart. Actually, this matter wasn't just about the Pill King; the entire Liehuo Sect should have been involved.
The Grand Elder probably saw this point too, but he didn't admit it, instead placing himself as an outsider. What an old fox.
Immediately afterward, the Liehuo Sect held a warm ceremony for you.
You had been eating vegetarian food with Master Wu Suanzi in the thatched cottage every day, so you ate very happily at the ceremony.
If Chen Tianxiao hadn't been sitting next to you the whole time, you would have been even happier.
You lingered in the Liehuo Sect for more than half a month. The Liehuo Sect probably also wanted to apologize to you, treating you with good wine and food every day.
One night, they even put a gift box in the room where you were staying.
Inside was Chen Tianxiao wearing a strange uniform.
You: ...
That day you slept outside; you didn't dare to go into the room.
However, the Liehuo Sect seemed to have made a mistake. The next night, there was another figure in the roomβa male Disciple wearing women's clothing of the Liehuo Sect.
This male Disciple was handsome; at first glance, you really couldn't tell that he was actually a man.
Then he was thrown out by Chen Tianxiao.
You: ...
You even suspected whether the Liehuo Sect was deliberately trying to disgust you.
During these few days, you spent some of your time in the Liehuo Sect's Scripture Pavilion.
Although the mainstream Cultivation Technique was given to you by Master Wu Suanzi, you still learned a few of the Liehuo Sect's Martial Skills.
The rest of the time was spent refining the Medicinal Pills the Pill King gave you.
You have to say that what the Pill King gave you was indeed good stuff.
Wait until you reach the Innate realm and can beat that old guy, then you will go and snatch all his Medicinal Pills, you thought.
After you finished refining the Medicinal Pills, you felt that you were just one step away from breaking through to the Peak of the Transcendent realm.
You left the Liehuo Sect.
Before leaving, Chen Tianxiao saw you off at the gate with snot and tears.
You looked at him and took a deep breath: "Brother Chen, the Jianghu road is long, we shall meet again if fate allows!"
Alright, when you said this, you subconsciously clenched your backside.
But you felt that the sentence you said was incredibly cool.
But you suddenly thought, it seemed you had said the wrong thing.
Three years later, you still have to come to see Master.
Forget it, you thought so.
