“Yet in the end, you still kept watch.” Chu Yang smiled, rubbing his nose as he spoke.
“I did it for Yechuchen! Did you think I did it for Meng Ge Yin?” Ling Hanwu nearly exploded in anger, glaring at Chu Yang: “You and your master have the same annoying mouth!”
“So they've met.” Chu Yang felt a bit relieved.
Ling Hanwu fumed, “Isn’t that obvious!”
“And now?” Chu Yang asked tentatively, “Are they still together?”
“Still together?” Ling Hanwu became even more furious: “Just meeting once is good enough; you expect them to be inseparable?”
“Meng Ge Yin ran off, who knows where; Ye Chuchen went home!” Ling Hanwu clearly did not want to discuss this topic any further. Just mentioning Meng Chaoran and Ye Chuchen made her heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.
“So, they’re fine? They weren’t discovered?” Chu Yang felt at ease, smiling widely.
“Nonsense! With me keeping watch, how could anything happen?” Ling Hanwu felt like she could spit blood.
“No wonder.” Chu Yang nodded.
“That bastard Meng Ge Yin is inferior to me in cultivation and family background; he doesn’t even look as dashing as I do, let alone his charm. Yet, he somehow has better luck with women than I do!” Ling Hanwu said in extreme frustration: “I’ve been thinking about this for twenty years and still can’t make sense of it!”
Chu Yang sympathized, “I can’t make sense of it either… So, up until now, you’ve been... single?”
Ling Hanwu’s face twisted: “What does being single mean? You little brat, speak more politely! I’m waiting for the one I love, preserving myself like jade and swearing to remain unmarried for life!”
“Well, that still means you’re single.” Chu Yang rolled his eyes, muttering softly.
Ling Hanwu rolled her eyes and changed the topic: “Kid, are you going to the Myriad Medicine Convention this time? I heard you’re a pharmacist? And that you were chosen by Han Xiaoran from the southeast?”
Chu Yang nodded confidently, saying: “I promised Chief Enforcer Han that I would seize the championship at this Myriad Medicine Convention!”
Ling Hanwu's expression turned grim: “Seize the championship?”
Chu Yang smiled lightly: “It’s a small matter!”
Ling Hanwu looked at him with wide eyes, as if she wanted to swallow him whole. Seizing the championship, and it’s just a small matter?
“You’ve got guts!” Ling Hanwu nodded vigorously: “Your master is right! You truly have guts!”
Chu Yang chuckled, “I won’t hide it from you, in my eyes, the pharmacists from your nine great families are like waste. This time, going up against those trash, I can’t say I have a hundred percent confidence, but it’s certainly way above ninety percent!”
Ling Hanwu's face turned purple: “Like waste? Trash?”
Chu Yang grinned arrogantly: “That may be a bit excessive, but they really can’t compare. I estimate my main competitors will be the Great Protector of the Medicine Valley, or rather…”
At this point, Chu Yang glanced around at the Ling Family team, noticing that all the Ling Family members were dressed similarly, making it hard to identify who among them was the pharmacist. He asked: “Uncle, which of your Ling Family is the pharmacist?”
Ling Hanwu laughed angrily: “Our Ling Family’s pharmacist? That waste of a person? That trash?”
Chu Yang laughed heartily: “Uncle, what are you saying? Though they certainly can’t compare to me, they should still be able to handle things in general.”
Ling Hanwu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them, pointing a finger at his nose, saying: “The waste you’re talking about is me!”
Chu Yang’s mouth dropped open, unable to close it.
“I’m the waste!” Ling Hanwu roared!
This outburst was a bit loud, and instantly everyone heard it. In an instant, the place fell silent, and pairs of eyes filled with surprise turned toward them.
They really didn’t know why their second master was openly calling himself trash!
