At this moment, in the rear hall of the Ye Clan Medical Hall, four Titled Douluo sat around together, discussing the Pill Tower's next steps in detail.
"Today's matter was handled beautifully." Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his teacup and said with a smile.
Ye Renxin waved a hand and said modestly, "Your Excellency Golden Crocodile flatters me. Without the full support of the three of you today, I alone could never have kept the situation under control."
"Old Ye, stop being modest. You really did well today," Dugu Bo said.
Le Zhengming nodded along, a rare smile appearing on his face.
"By the way, where's that boy Zhao Ming? Why didn't he come to such an important occasion today?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.
Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance. The former smiled and said, "The child said he was too young to show his face in public. Besides, he needs to hurry and refine pills to prepare the first batch for the Pill Tower."
"With us old fellows around, is he still afraid of being exposed?"
"Being cautious is always better. Little Ming's safety comes first," Ye Renxin said.
"Rest assured, Old Ye. Whoever dares touch that boy will be the first to taste the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison."
Le Zhengming also stated, "The Angel Lineage owes Zhao Ming a tremendous debt. He gave us the Mysterious Water Pill formula without a second word. The Angel Lineage will remember this favor forever."
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, his expression shifted and his gaze turned toward the door.
A moment later, faint footsteps sounded, and Zhao Ming pushed open the door and entered.
"Four seniors, this junior is late." Zhao Ming cupped his hands in salute, looking somewhat apologetic.
