“Aw!”
Lying on the ground, Li Yaowen screamed like a pig being slaughtered, his eyes reddened as if he wanted to eat someone.
“Captain Chen, yes, it's those two, the two useless ones from the Zhang family. They dare to hit me! This slap not only struck me but also our Alchemy Pavilion's face and dignity. Captain Chen, hurry up and capture them both, execute them on the spot!”
“Is that so? Come here, capture them both. If they resist, kill them without mercy.”
With a wave of his hand, Captain Chen coldly ordered, his gaze icy.
“Wait, Captain Chen, hold on, there's a misunderstanding. There’s a misunderstanding here.”
Zhang Fei's face turned pale, hurriedly stepping forward to explain, but in his heart he thought, “We're done for, what should we do now?”
“Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding could there be? Hitting someone in our Alchemy Pavilion, regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you can forget about having a good outcome. Capture them.”
With a wave of his hand, Captain Chen completely disregarded Zhang Fei's explanation.
After all, their Alchemy Pavilion was a top force in the Tianwu Continent. Even the branch in the Great Qi Kingdom was one of the most elite factions.
Now someone dares to cause trouble here, regardless of whether it’s a misunderstanding, they would first be taught a lesson.
“Hold on.”
Just as Zhang Fei was at a loss, his heart sinking completely, Zhang Ying stepped forward, coldly looking at Captain Chen: “Sir, we are here to find someone in the Alchemy Pavilion. I advise you to clarify the situation, so as not to make a mistake.”
“Looking for someone?”
Captain Li finally noticed Zhang Ying. He saw that although he was young, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the late Earth Level. Moreover, he exuded a strange aura that was distinctly different from ordinary martial artists. That sharp gaze directed at him even brought an invisible pressure.
What a talented youth!
“Who are you looking for?”
Frowning, Captain Li did not dare to underestimate him and asked coldly.
“An alchemist named Liu Guang.”
Zhang Ying replied.
“Right, we are indeed looking for Alchemist Liu Guang.”
Zhang Fei also hurriedly added.
He prayed in his heart that the person introduced by Qin Chen was reliable enough.
“Liu Guang?”
Captain Chen was taken aback, his brows furrowing, and his expression grew serious: “You are looking for Steward Liu Guang?”
“Steward?”
Zhang Fei was stunned.
On the way here, Zhang Fei kept guessing what identity Liu Guang held in the Alchemy Pavilion. Would he be an apprentice? He never expected that he would be a steward of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Having dealt with the Alchemy Pavilion for many years, he knew that a steward was not an ordinary person. They were high-level members of the pavilion, far superior to mere managers. Often, even a first-grade alchemist might not qualify to take on such a position.
“Correct!” Seeing that the other party was unaware that Liu Guang was a steward, Captain Chen frowned and said, “What matter do you have with Master Liu Guang?”
“This…” Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, “We indeed have urgent matters to discuss with Master Liu Guang, so please, could you inform him?”
“Don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense.”
Seeing Captain Chen’s attitude soften, Li Yaowen, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly jumped up in a panic.
“Captain Chen, don’t be fooled by these two. They are just from a pill-making family, the Zhang family, who have been leeching off our Li family for years. How could they possibly know Steward Liu Guang? They must have heard the name from somewhere and are trying to slip by.”
His teeth had fallen out, and he spoke like a wind machine, babbling excitedly, but in his fervor, he tore at his wound, making him grimace in pain.
“Do you have any token to prove your connection with Master Liu Guang?”
Li Yaowen's words were not without possibility, and Captain Chen immediately inquired.
