An Unremarkable Yun Shenwei

"Senior Brother, we love you to death!"

Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong exchanged a glance, beaming with joy as they reached out to hug Yun Shenwei.

"I don't mess around with men. Get lost."

Yun Shenwei knocked the two of them down with two punches, then decisively said, "Hurry up and take me to Liu Wen. I'll settle this for you."

Xin Daorong said doubtfully, "Senior Brother, don't get worked up. Liu Wen is a very arrogant man. If you apologize on our behalf, there might still be room to turn things around. But if you argue with him, I'm afraid it'll only make things worse..."

Niu Xuante nodded repeatedly as well, deeply afraid that Senior Brother would beat the other party to a pulp at the slightest disagreement.

"What nonsense are you spouting? If I told you to lead the way, then hurry up. Your Senior Brother knows what he's doing. Do I need you two to teach me? Since he said you burned his Pill Recipe, then I'll compensate him with one!"

With a wave of his hand, Yun Shenwei flashed forward and viciously smacked each of them on the head.

"This..."

Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante froze after hearing this. First they were stunned, then they became confused.

They had never heard that Senior Brother could refine pills. Even if he had truly obtained a Pill Recipe through some lucky chance, shouldn't he be keeping it hidden? But on second thought, since Senior Brother dared to say such a thing, he must truly have something up his sleeve!

The two nodded at each other, understanding without words. They wept with excitement and secretly swore that whenever they went to peek at female disciples bathing in the future, they would definitely invite Senior Brother first thing...

The expressions on their faces changed so dramatically that Yun Shenwei was utterly baffled when he saw them. If he knew what they were thinking, he would probably go over and give them a few more punches.

Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante hurriedly led Yun Shenwei along. By the time they found Liu Wen in the Ordinary Disciple Area, it was already too late.

"Elder, these two bastards ambushed me in secret and burned the Pill Recipe my master gave me. Please seek justice for me!"

Liu Wen had deliberately waited here for quite some time. Not only did he spot Yun Shenwei and the other two, but the white-haired old man behind him, clad in a moon-white robe with narrow eyes, saw them as well.

A crescent moon and seven golden stars were embroidered on the old man's chest, indicating his cultivation realm.

As a veteran fan of Battle Through the Heavens, Yun Shenwei naturally knew that the man before him was Ge Ye, the Seven Star Dou Shi who had accompanied Nalan Yanran to the Xiao Family to break off her engagement in the original story.

"Yun Shenwei, you came at just the right time. This old man was searching everywhere for those two scoundrels behind you. I never expected you, their Senior Brother, to bring them here yourself. As expected of the foremost member of Misty Cloud Sect's younger generation—your awareness is truly admirable. You will surely achieve great things in the future."

Ge Ye ignored Liu Wen. Instead, he stroked his goatee and spoke to Yun Shenwei with a faint smile.

"Deacon Ge Ye... you've misunderstood."

Yun Shenwei scratched his head awkwardly.

"A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? You voluntarily brought them here to answer for their crimes. Clearly, you're helping this elder shoulder his burdens. If every disciple of Misty Cloud Sect were as sensible as you, why would our sect ever worry about not flourishing?"

Ge Ye assumed the young man was being modest and immediately praised him a few more times. It was no wonder; Yun Shenwei's reputation was immense among Misty Cloud Sect's younger disciples, and all the sect elders knew of this genius.

"Niu Xuante! Xin Daorong! You two have caused trouble and seriously disrupted the order of the sect. Get over here at once! Must this old man personally invite you over?"

Ge Ye was quite polite to Yun Shenwei, but he was not nearly so courteous toward the short fat man and the tall skinny man behind him. He immediately roared in anger.

"Heavens! Deacon Ge Ye is furious! I wonder which fool was reckless enough to provoke him."

"Senior Brother is here too, but why are those two oddballs, Xin Daorong and Niu Xuante, behind him?"

"Sigh, there's no need to ask. It must be that fatty and Skinny who caused trouble. Senior Brother is kind-hearted and probably wants to put in a good word for them."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all only staring at those two oddballs? If you ask me, the young man behind Elder Ge Ye is the one we should be talking about."

It was just after afternoon cultivation had ended, and many disciples were returning to their residences. Thus, they all witnessed this scene.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother..."

Niu Xuante and Xin Daorong were so frightened that their legs went weak. They could only pin their hopes on Yun Shenwei.

"Senior, Shenwei believes there may be a better way to resolve this matter."

Yun Shenwei stepped forward and cupped his fists toward Ge Ye. "I already heard the full account from my two junior brothers on the way here. They know they were wrong, and I am also willing to offer a Pill Recipe as compensation to Liu Wen."

"This old man knows that you hold considerable prestige among the younger disciples, and I also know that you do not wish to see your junior brothers expelled from the sect. But you must understand that Liu Wen is Pill King Gu He's newly accepted disciple. The Pill Recipes Pill King usually uses are not things ordinary goods can compare to. Besides, without talent for alchemy, where would you get a Pill Recipe?"

Ge Ye's cheek twitched. He had wanted to rebuke him loudly, but when he saw the determination in the young man's eyes and recalled the recent rumors in the sect concerning him and Nalan Yanran, he could only suppress his displeasure and continue persuading him. "Today's matter has nothing to do with you. Hurry back and cultivate. Do not waste your time on two disgraces to the sect."

"Hey! You over there, Yun Shenwei, listen up! This has nothing to do with you, so stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. Didn't you hear the sect deacon tell you to get lost? Be sensible and hand them over right now! For the sake of two pieces of trash, you dare offend a future Alchemy Grandmaster like me? Believe it or not, I can make sure you never get another pill in the future?"

This was Liu Wen's first time following Pill King Gu He to Misty Cloud Sect as a guest. Young and arrogant, he prided himself on being an alchemist, so his words were exceedingly haughty.

In his eyes, alchemists were born superior to others. Did this Yun Shenwei even deserve to speak to him?

On the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists were an extraordinarily noble profession. Calling them one in ten thousand would not be an exaggeration.

Liu Wen possessed alchemy talent that was one in ten thousand, and so did his older brother, Liu Ling. That was why the two had successively been accepted as disciples by Gu He, the Jia Ma Empire's foremost Alchemy Grandmaster.

Before coming to Misty Cloud Sect, whenever ordinary people heard that he was Pill King Gu He's disciple, they became incredibly excited and feared saying the wrong thing and offending him.

After arriving at Misty Cloud Sect, he had secretly slipped away, intending to flaunt his noble status before the sect's disciples. Yet he never imagined that before he had even made half a round through the sect, he would be pranked by two bastards, one fat and one skinny.

A basin of shit had been dumped directly over him—it was utterly deranged. The bundle he carried with him had also been burned by those two bastards. Even now, whenever he thought of that scene, he wanted nothing more than to tear out their tendons and flay their skin!

That was why he had immediately sought out Misty Cloud Sect's deacon, Ge Ye, and waited here.

Everything had been prepared, and Elder Ge Ye had even agreed to expel the two from Misty Cloud Sect. Who could have expected Yun Shenwei to appear at this very moment and obstruct things? How could Liu Wen possibly accept that?

Yun Shenwei smiled calmly, not angered by the other party's provocation. Instead, he displayed the bearing of Misty Cloud Sect's Senior Brother and said righteously:

"I am the Senior Brother of Misty Cloud Sect's current generation, so naturally I have an obligation to handle this matter. Since you claim that my two junior brothers burned your Pill Recipe, then please describe its contents so that I may compensate you accordingly!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Ye could not help but furrow his brows, secretly sighing that Yun Shenwei was making an unnecessary move.

Liu Wen snorted upon hearing this, pointed at Yun Shenwei, and mocked, "Hehe, how ridiculous. What compensation can someone who isn't even an alchemist possibly offer? Does Misty Cloud Sect have no one left? Someone at this level can actually be called Senior Brother?"
