Biyao and Hong Yu followed Bai Xiaofeng, but hesitated several times.
They looked at each other and saw hesitation and worry in each other's eyes.
"Master, will you trust that Jiang Donghua too easily this time?"
"Two million gold coins of medicinal materials were given away so easily? What if the alchemist just talked nonsense and couldn't make Fire Spirit Pill at all?"
But they didn't dare to speak after all.
In the final analysis, their identities are nothing more than Ninth Young Master's playthings.
Although they are favored on weekdays and can occasionally enjoy the pillow, when it comes to such important matters, they have no qualifications to intervene.
What's more, Jiang Donghua is Fourth-grade Alchemist after all, with a distinguished status. If they talk too much and annoy him, Ninth Young Master will be the first to spare them!
"Forget it, let's take a gamble."
"If the young master can really become Young City Lord, our status can also be improved, and maybe we can escape this fate of being at the mercy of others."
The two of them lowered their heads silently and said no more words.
Heavenly Snake City Deacon Bai Yan from the medicinal material warehouse looked at the list handed over by Bai Xiaofeng, his eyelids jumped wildly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"9. Ninth Young Master, this, the medicinal materials on this list are all rare things! And the quantity is so huge that the warehouse may not be able to collect them all at once!"
Bai Xiaofeng waved his hand impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense! I am in a hurry to use it, so you can just dial it out!"
Bai Yan said with a grimace and cautiously.
"But according to the rules, this medicinal material worth nearly two million gold coins must be reported to the Great Elder first."
Bai Xiaofeng's eyes turned cold, he slammed the table and said angrily.
"Is money so important? Are you questioning my authority?!"
Bai Yan shivered in fright and waved his hands quickly.
"Don't dare!"
Bai Xiaofeng sneered.
"If it doesn't work, just go and complain to my father!"
Bai Yan When he heard this, his face turned pale instantly.
Complain?
Report Ninth Young Master to the city lord?
Heavenly Snake City Lord, Bai Wutian, that is Dou Zong strong man!
On weekdays, when he was practicing in seclusion, Shenlong never saw his tail, and even the young masters and ladies rarely saw him.
If he, a deacon of a small medicine warehouse, bothers the city lord for such a trivial matter, he might think he has lived too long!
Bai Yan swallowed and immediately put on a flattering smile.
"Ninth Young Master is just kidding! I'll go get ready and go right now!"
Bai Xiaofeng snorted coldly, then turned and left with satisfaction.
Biyao and Hong Yu followed behind, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"Master, did you play too much this time?"
But now that things have come to this, they can only bite the bullet and pray that Jiang Donghua can really refine enough Fire Spirit Pill as he said!
After all, being able to take out elixirs for auction does not mean that his true strength is extremely powerful in refining elixirs.
What if you can't get it out even once or twice after practicing ten times? That would be really embarrassing!
The courtyard was quiet, with only the gentle breeze rustling the leaves.
Jiang Donghua was sitting at the stone table, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, frowning slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"It's strange that Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen are here, but Fifth Young Lady Bai Qingshuang and Eldest Young Master Bai Wuya, why are there no movements at all?"
He is Fourth-grade Alchemist, and he is a guest of any force, let alone at this critical moment of the Young City Lord dispute?
"Do they think less of me?"
Jiang Donghua shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.
"Bai Wuya is the eldest son and has great talents. He may have a high self-esteem and disdain to actively win over outsiders."
"But what about Bai Qingshuang? It is said that she has the support of the Pill Pavilion and the Chamber of Commerce. She should be more aware of the value of an alchemist."
The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself.
"Tsk, are they planning something secretly?"
Hong Ling stood with his sword in hand, glanced at him, and said calmly.
"Why, no one comes to fawn over you, but you're not used to it?"
Jiang Donghua laughed and shook his head.
"Sister, you say this as if I am vain."
Hong Ling snorted lightly.
"Isn't it?"
Jiang Donghua didn't refute, just narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.
"I just feel that there must be monsters when things go wrong. If they don't come, it makes me a little uneasy."
Hong Ling frowned, seemed to realize something, and whispered.
"You mean they might have been secretly working together?"
Jiang Donghua's eyes flashed, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Who knows? Maybe they think that instead of wooing me, they should just..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became condensed and his eyes turned to the outside of the hospital.
Hong Ling was also instantly alert, pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and said coldly.
"Someone is coming."
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the courtyard.
A cold female voice then sounded.
"Master Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you late at night."
Jiang Donghua and Hong Ling looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time.
"Finally here!"
The courtyard door opened slightly, and a slender figure stepped in.
The moonlight is like water, shining on her body, reflecting her long white dress, her clothes are like snow, not stained by dust, her face is cold, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is better than snow, her lips are like red spots, and her pair of phoenix eyes are as deep as cold pools, without any emotion.
Fifth Young Lady--Bai Qingshuang.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, evoking a very faint smile. It neither seemed flattering nor alienated, it was just a polite gesture, but it was hard to fault.
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you because I'm visiting late at night."
She nodded slightly, her voice as clear as ice.
Jiang Donghua immediately put on a warm smile on his face and stood up to greet him.
"Fifth Young Lady You're welcome, please sit down."
Bai Qingshuang did not sit down, but just stood in the courtyard, his eyes lightly swept over the tea cup on the stone table, then looked at Jiang Donghua, and said in a calm tone.
"I heard that Master Jiang was invited by the ninth brother to live here temporarily. Qingshuang came here to visit."
Jiang Donghua's smile did not change, but he cursed secretly in his heart.
"Good guy, you're a wolf with nothing! You don't even bring a greeting gift, you're stingier than Bai Wuchen!"
Bai Wuchen at least pretended to take out a scrap of the scroll, but this woman was lucky enough to come with nothing in her hands and act like she was just passing by to take a look!
Bai Qingshuang seemed to see through his thoughts, his eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly.
"Master Jiang Don't think too much, Qingshuang is not here to win over, but just to express goodwill."
She paused, her tone still calm, but with a hint of unquestionable confidence.
"If you don't get along with your stay at Jiu Di's place, the door will always be open to Master Jiang at my place."
Jiang Donghua had a smile on his face, but he was already rolling his eyes in his heart.
"Haha, this is a real empty promise! You don't even pay a copper, and you want me to change jobs? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"
But he didn't show it at all on his face, instead he cupped his hands pretending to be moved.
"Fifth Young Lady's great love, Jiang will remember it in my heart!"
Bai Qingshuang nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with his reaction, and then turned to leave.
Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head, glanced at Jiang Donghua with cold eyes, and said meaningfully.
"By the way, Master Jiang, Ninth Disciple has an impatient temper and often cooperates with him regardless of the consequences. Please be more careful."
After saying that, she said no more and walked away, her back like frost, cold and aloof.
Jiang Donghua watched her leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Hong Ling snorted coldly.
"This woman is better at pretending than Bai Wuchen."
Jiang Donghua sneered.
"Isn't that right? Bai Wuchen is still trying to act, but she is too lazy to even act. She just talks nonsense and wants to poach people!"
He shook his head and sighed.
"It seems that none of these Bai Clan people have fuel-efficient lamps!"
Hong Ling frowned.
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Jiang Donghua narrowed his eyes, leaned back lazily on the chair, and raised a sly arc at the corner of his lips.
"Looks like we really have to hug this brainless Ninth Young Master!"
