Chapter 78: Temporary Calm

  Go home!

  Xī pò tiān liǎn pí jí jù zhàn dòng, yī liǎn bēi tòng, shuāng shǒu qīng qīng mǒ zhe Xī Qiūshuǐ cāng bái miàn jiá.

  Translation:

  Xi's face twitched violently, a painful expression on his face, both hands gently stroking Xi Qiushui's pale cheeks.

  The elders of the Xie family stood in the middle of the main hall, their faces solemn. Today's events on the square were a significant blow to the Xie family.

  Everyone in the Jade Water City will reevaluate the influence of the three major families because of this matter. Especially, the Extreme Challenge Arena has clearly taken a stand on the side of the Xia family.

  After a long time, Xi Po Tian suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with fierce light like a beast, gritting his teeth, and in a low voice that echoed through the hall, "Autumn Water, you can rest assured, I will make the Xia family pay for this, Hmph!"

  A strange and eerie laugh came from Xi Po Tian's throat, and the Xi family members looked at each other in dismay, staring at Xi Po Tian in shock. Would Xi Po Tian take revenge on the Xia family for this? If so, it would be an utterly unwise move.

  "The clan leader, now the Xia family's influence is great, and the Extreme Challenge Arena seems to be leaning towards the Xia family again. Even in the Holy Temple, the Xia family's power has surpassed our Shi family..."

  The elder of the Xi family had no choice but to speak up at this time, as it concerned the future of the Xi family.

  Xī pò tiān turned around, his cold gaze swept across the Great Elder, a cold smile playing on his lips. "You can all rest assured, I won't make any big moves until I have absolute certainty. Heh heh—isn't there still an elder's meeting?"

  His eyes rolled around, and his gaze was like a sharp blade that could kill people. Xi Po Tian suddenly clenched his fists with a "crackling" sound, his momentum surging, "When I get the chance, I'll strike to kill!"

  Xipotian is the most overbearing of the three family heads in Yushuicheng. Whatever he decides, even if the Council of Elders does not pass it, will likely be implemented in the end.

  …………

  The extreme challenge venue, Yafen and Li Tianlun had just finished dinner, the servant collected the tableware and retreated respectfully.

  At this time, it was the most lively moment in the venue for a day. The large hall on the first floor was crowded with people, and everyone was cheering for their own betting object.

  In the luxurious room, four bright candles were lit.

  Yafen smiled brightly like a flower, her light purple floral long dress accentuating her perfect figure, enough to make many people lose their minds.

  "Chairman, this Xia family's Xia Yan is almost certainly the mysterious Ling Luo who has recently risen to prominence in our Extreme Challenge Club." Yafen smiled lightly and suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Chairman, you said he's only fifteen years old, why is he so formidable?"

  Yafen found out that Ling Luo's true identity was Xia Yan, and her curiosity about Xia Yan not only didn't decrease, but instead became even stronger.

  Li Tianlun sat on an expensive red sandalwood chair, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his sharp eyes piercing through the air and falling onto a lamp, the flame jumping and flickering constantly before bursting into even brighter radiance.

  "Geniuses are rare, but they have always existed." Li Tianlun said calmly, "Not to mention the entire Dragon Continent, even in our Yushui City, there are often some dazzling talents emerging. However, those who can truly be recorded in history and remain immortal are extremely few."

  "This Xiaoyan, I don't know how long she can walk on this road, how far she can go..." After saying the above words, Li Tianlun suddenly changed his tone and said with a hint of melancholy.

  In his voice, Yafen seemed to hear a hint of inexplicable emotion. It was as if he was admiring, yet also expecting, and there was a tinge of jealousy. In short, it was an indescribable feeling.

  Li Tianlun, who was also a talented young man, is now under the age of thirty and has become a Saint Temple Executor, Extreme Challenge Arena President, and a strong Spirit Master.

  These are generally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  "The president, actually I was just thinking that the most terrifying thing about Ling Luo is not his martial skills." Yafen slightly lost her mind and then suddenly woke up.

  "Oh?" Li Tianlun's eyes sparkled and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  "I think the most terrifying thing about him is his calm and composed personality. At the age of fifteen, he has a more stable personality than someone who is fifty years old. This is what makes Xia Jia Xia Yan truly terrifying." Yafen exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

  Silence!

  The room fell silent for a while because of Yafen's words.

  "Yes, you're right. In a few more years, after he reaches the realm of a spiritual master, I don't know how terrifying he'll become." Li Tianlun actually let out a sigh and said slowly.

  "By the way, Dean, you said that Hong Fei cancelled Xia Yan's entrance examination quota for Zileaf Academy. Why was that?" Yafen showed a puzzled expression, this indeed made her very perplexed.

  It can be said that today's mistakes are entirely the fault of Xi Qiushui, and Xia Yan is not responsible at all. Hong Fei's decision was indeed very unfair to Xia Yan.

  "Do you think Hong Fei has a high opinion of Xia Yan?" Li Tianlun's eyes flickered.

  Yafen was taken aback, quickly nodding her head, "Yes, Hongfei seems to have a high opinion of Xia Yan, so I'm surprised he would cancel Xia Yan's spot in the Violet Leaf Academy exam."

  "It's precisely because he appreciates Xia Yan that he would do such a thing." Li Tianlun exhaled softly, his expression unfathomable.

  Hearing Li Tianlun say this, Yafen became even more perplexed, her beautiful eyes staring at Li Tianlun.

  "A genius like Xia Yan is rarely seen in a hundred years. By canceling Xia Yan's quota, Hong Fei was actually protecting him. If not, I'm afraid Xi Po Tian's personality would never let the matter rest." Li Tian Lun said in a low voice.

  Yafen understood. She was originally clever, and after listening to Li Tianlun say this, she knew Hongfei's mind. In her heart, she secretly thought that people who could become a Saint Hall steward were indeed not simple at all.

  Hong Fei looks simple and honest, but his thoughts are much more complicated than ordinary people, they are all very scary.

  "Hmm, I see! A month later, Xia Yan's injury should be healed. The Xia family has even invited the best pharmacist in our Jade Water City. Xia Fei Long's concern for Xia Yan is extraordinary." Yafen couldn't help but smile when she thought of Xia Fei Long's reaction when he saw Xia Yan get injured earlier that day.

  At that time, Xia Fei Long scolded loudly, apparently with a very strong sense of identity. I guess many people who heard him scolding would be shocked and stunned.

  The patriarch of the three major families, one of the saints' attendants, actually burst out with profanity in front of so many people. It was clear that at that moment he had already disregarded everything else. Xia Yan was ambushed and thoroughly enraged.

  Pharmacists are different from alchemists. Even ordinary people, as long as they study medicine diligently, can achieve great success. Saving lives and treating injuries, preparing medicinal prescriptions - these are all things that pharmacists do.

  Alchemists are purely cultivators! Wanting to become an alchemist is extremely difficult.
