Master and Disciple Trade Barbs

"You... you, why are you laughing again?" Han Feng couldn't stand it any longer. How dare a mere Peak Dou Ling expert be so arrogant in front of him?

Qian Ye simply smiled, "Whether it's you or not, it's not up to me to decide, nor is it up to you to decide, but there's one person whose word definitely matters. 💙☹ ☯🐺"

"Who?" Han Feng was startled, thinking to himself, could it be that Mu Gu betrayed him?

No... it couldn't be his.

Who could it be?

That old man is dead; apart from Mu Gu and himself, no one else knows.

Although Venerable Feng never believed his own words, he also lacked sufficient evidence to prove that he was the murderer.

So, is he implying something about himself?

Hmm, trying to give yourself away? No way!

"This is Yao Chen. I think you're familiar with this name, right?" Qian Ye asked with a smile.

Medicine... Yao Chen?!

Hadn't he already been reduced to ashes by his own actions?

It's impossible that he's still alive.

No... He may be dead, but his soul remains. So, did he find some opportunity and come back to life?

Impossible! Absolutely not! This must be one of his tricks, designed to force him out! It must be!

"Heh." Han Feng feigned composure and said, "How can you be like this? My master has been dead for a long time, you know that. Why won't you even let a dead man go and try to frame me? What exactly are you up to?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face turned ashen. 👍☺ 🌷★

If you're really facing certain death and still won't admit it, then don't blame me for being impolite.

"Don't rush, we'll know once we call them out for a face-to-face confrontation."

"What did you say?" Han Feng was genuinely startled when he heard that he was going to call Yao Chen out.

(o;

Qian Ye smiled without saying a word, reaching out to touch the ring on his finger. "Since you're here, don't hide anymore. Come out and meet your apprentice, have a good chat with him, and build some rapport, okay?"

Buzz~

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the ring on Qian Ye's hand, and an old man appeared in front of Qian Ye, floating in mid-air.

He glanced at Xiao Yan first, and Xiao Yan immediately stood up. Seeing that he was about to speak, Yao Chen carefully guided the conversation, saying, "Xiao Yan, don't reveal your identity yet. This Qian Ye is more powerful than I imagined. If you clash with him for my sake beforehand, your Life might be in danger!"

"Teacher, I only want to save you from his grasp." Xiao Yan also communicated earnestly with Yao Chen.

"I know you're my good disciple, but now is not the time to act rashly. For now, stay close to him and try to avoid conflict. We can find another opportunity later, master and disciple."

"Hmm, but teacher, what do you plan to do with Han Feng? He's the traitor who murdered you, and even had you reduced to ashes!"

"Don't worry about that. Let's see what Qian Ye is planning first, and then we'll play along. ♠🐳 👻👤"

"Alright!"

"That's all for now, we can talk about it later."

After Yao Chen finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Han Feng, his eyes filled with resentment.

Qian Ye looked at Xiao Yan and smiled without saying a word. He had overheard Xiao Yan's mental exchange with Yao Chen.

Before trying to turn the tables on someone, you need to ask yourself if you're willing to cooperate.

"You traitor, it's been a long time!" Yao Chen looked at Han Feng and said with a deeper meaning.

A murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

If you were to ask who he hates most and wants to kill most in this world, besides Han Feng, it would still be Han Feng.

Now that they've met, it's natural that the master and apprentice are at loggerheads, locked in a fierce battle of wits.

Upon seeing Yao Chen's sudden appearance, Han Feng was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his composure. The other party was clearly just a soul, insignificant. "Hehe, teacher, I never imagined that after so many years, you'd fallen to such a wretched state. It truly shames me!"

"Why didn't you come looking for your student sooner? If you had come sooner, I would have at least found you a peaceful resting place, for the sake of our past relationship as master and student, so that you could sleep forever in darkness!"

Bang~

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Xiao Yan suddenly became agitated and slammed his fist on the table. If Yao Chen hadn't already warned him not to act rashly, he would have already attacked Han Feng.

Of course, Han Feng is not so easy to deal with. After all, he is Nine-Star Dou Huang, possesses Heavenly Flames, and is Sixth-Tier Apothecary. Even if Yao Chen himself were to take action, he would not be confident, since he is only a soul body.

Yao Chen glared angrily at Han Feng, even more furious at his earlier rudeness, "Han Feng, you and I are no longer master and disciple. From the moment you attacked me, our master-disciple relationship was severed. But you still owe me two lives."

"Firstly, back in Han Clan Village, I rescued you from bandits and a sea of fire, and raised you to adulthood. It was through your upbringing that you achieved your current status."

"Secondly, you repaid kindness with enmity and murdered me. So I won't say I'll kill you twice, but I'm determined to take your life, and besides, you don't have two lives."

"Paying back debts is a matter of course. It's not that you won't pay back your debts, it's just that the time hasn't come yet; you'll have to repay them someday."

"Is that so?" Han Feng sneered, "Old man, don't play the good guy in front of me! Back when I asked you for the Burning Flame Mantra Flame Mantra, you gave it to me, and I wouldn't have killed you to take Flame Mantra. You refused to give it to me, so what can you do about your own death?"

Haha~

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen couldn't help but laugh, but there was no joy in his laughter. Instead, it was filled with sorrow, regret, hatred, and sharpness.

"I'm handing this over to you? Your heart is corrupt! How could I entrust it to you to ruin my family's reputation? To commit evil deeds? To betray my master and become a traitor?"

"Old man, you forced me to do this."

"Really? I've never pressured you. It's just that you've changed. You weren't like that before, but after you met him, I slowly realized you'd changed, and that makes me very, very disappointed in you."

"But wasn't that your junior brother? He hated you too, and he wanted you dead too. If it weren't for his instigation, perhaps I wouldn't have done it, but I don't regret killing you, because only with you dead can I stop living in your shadow forever and be free to do what I want."

"Look at yourself now, and look at me. In the Black-Corner Region, I am the Medicine Emperor Han Feng. Everyone, whether they are Dou Huang or Dou Zong, has to kneel down at my door to beg for medicine. I also have my own Maple City. I am the master here. In the future, I will not only be the master of Maple City, but also the master of the Black-Corner Region, the master of the entire continent, and become the most powerful alchemist in the history of the continent."

"You're dreaming, and it's a daydream!" Yao Chen couldn't help but complain.

"Old man, what did you say?" Han Feng finally couldn't hold back and lost his temper.

"You rebellious disciple, don't be so arrogant! I can't deal with you now, but someone else can," Yao Chen retorted defiantly.

The master and apprentice glared at each other, finding fault with each other so much that they started eye-sparring.

Thank you for your support.
