The day after the news got out.
Medicine Emperor Han Feng of the Black-Corner Region formally sent a visiting card to Jia Nan Academy.
Then, without waiting for the academy to respond, he led the people of the Black-Corner Region straight to its gates.
He was a little more polite than in the original story—but only a little.
"May I ask what brings Medicine Emperor Han Feng to our academy so suddenly?"
Great Elder Su Qian stood in the way of the crowd surging toward them.
"It's only because my peers think highly of me. I hardly deserve the title of Medicine Emperor."
After smiling smugly, Han Feng finally explained why he had come.
"I heard Jia Nan Academy has gained a sixth-grade alchemist. I was curious, so I've come to exchange pointers."
"That's only a rumor. You shouldn't take it seriously."
Su Qian kept a straight face as he made things up.
"Elder Su, I've come with my friends today only to compare our alchemy skills. I hope you'll make an exception and let us in."
Han Feng stepped forward and spoke with unmistakable force.
Su Qian fought back the urge to slap the man.
You came only to compare alchemy skills, and you brought this many people? Do you think everyone here is an idiot?
If not for the fact that the person in question had specifically asked for Han Feng, Su Qian would have genuinely wanted to start a fight.
"There's no such person. A sixth-grade alchemist, Heavenly Flames—these are all rumors outsiders have spread about Jia Nan Academy."
Su Qian had no choice but to keep making things up.
"Seems Elder Su is determined to make us fight."
Han Feng raised a hand. Everyone in black robes behind him stepped forward as one.
Two figures, one
