Martial Master

Zhuo Qingfeng's anger grew as he spoke, "May I ask, is this how you handle cases at the City Guard? Let's not even mention that my friend is completely innocent and was only acting in self-defense. Am I, the esteemed Alchemy Pavilion Master, not even allowed to inquire about a friend's case? Even the Master Token was smashed to the ground."

"Master Fei just said that His Majesty holds my Alchemy Pavilion in high esteem. Is this how you show that esteem?"

"I've come to understand that in this Great Wei Dynasty, nobody takes the Alchemy Pavilion seriously. Even a small City Guard dares to humiliate us, disregarding me as the Pavilion Master. What face do I have left to continue staying in the Great Wei Dynasty? What's the point of this transaction?"

Zhuo Qingfeng was filled with fury.

"What?"

Hearing this, Fei Leng was completely stunned, "Is this true?"

Xu Bo snorted coldly from the side, "Master Fei, do you think Zhuo Pavilion Master would wrongfully accuse the City Guard? That Deputy Commander surnamed Geng not only insulted our Alchemy Pavilion but also broke the Pavilion Master's token. What do you expect us to do about it?"

Fei Leng was drenched in cold sweat from shock.

What kind of people in the City Guard would dare to smash the Pavilion Master's token?

As he was still in shock, Zhuo Qingfeng casually lifted his hand, and a token landed on the table in front of him.

"Master Fei, take a look for yourself."

Fei Leng hurriedly looked and saw a token placed on the table, but the edge of the token had some scratches. Although subtle, with Fei Leng's keen eyesight, he could see it clearly.

"The City Guard actually dared to do this?"

Fei Leng was almost paralyzed by fear.

What kind of person has such audacity? Daring to throw the Pavilion Master's token, are they tired of living?

No wonder the Alchemy Pavilion is so enraged. If this happened to anyone else, they would be even more furious.

The Pavilion Master Token is issued by the Alchemy Pavilion of the Northern Sky Domain, representing what? The Pavilion Master's identity, the dignity of an alchemist?

Even the higher-ranking Alchemy Pavilions in the Northern Sky Domain would issue tokens carefully and with great formality because the Pavilion Master Token represents the dignity of an alchemist.

But now, it was so brazenly desecrated.

Can this be tolerated?

Any alchemist would probably not be able to endure such an affront.

Shocked and angry, Fei Leng quickly cupped his hands, "Pavilion Master Zhuo, please calm down. I understand this matter now; there must be some misunderstanding. But rest assured, I, Fei, am also an alchemist and deeply understand the value of the Pavilion Master's token; it is more precious than the life of any alchemist. If this is true, I guarantee that I will provide an explanation for Pavilion Master Zhuo and the Alchemy Pavilion."

Despite his anger, Fei Leng still found it hard to believe.

"And since this matter originated with the City Guard, the Alchemy Pavilion can't vent its anger on our court alchemists and royalty; we are all innocent."

Fei Leng spoke with a pitiful expression.

"Pity?" Xu Bo scoffed, "Master Fei, do you really think a Deputy Commander would dare to act like this on his own? That Deputy Commander is acting under the orders of some people."

"What do you mean?" Fei Leng was taken aback.

"What do I mean?" Xu Bo sneered, "I've heard that the reason that Deputy Commander is so arrogant is due to his deep background, closely associated with the noble Cold family from the royal city. More importantly, this matter has the favor of the Third Prince. With such backing, it is normal for him not to regard our Alchemy Pavilion."

"The Third Prince?"

Fei Leng was shocked. How did this matter involve the Third Prince?

His expression grew serious.

If it were just a matter involving the City Guard, he could directly report it to His Majesty and deal with whoever dared. There would be no pressure at all.

But involving the Third Prince, Fei Leng dared not act recklessly.

He needed to clarify the situation.
