"How did Brother Xu become like this?" Liu Qian shook her head as she watched Xu Yang's retreating back.
What had happened today was nothing like something the Xu Yang she knew would do.
"Perhaps he's decided to smash an already cracked pot," Yue Gui said. "What happened with the Alliance probably hit him hard. I heard he hasn't returned to the sect since the Alliance disbanded. He's probably afraid of facing people.
"If he could become an alchemist, his circumstances would improve. But trying to become one with a single Pill Recipe is nothing but a fool's dream."
Liu Qian felt a pang of sympathy at his words. "Were we a little too harsh back then?"
She really hadn't known that Xu Yang had stopped returning to the sect after the Alliance disbanded.
Yue Gui shook his head. "We simply made the right choice. If he can't withstand even this much, the Alliance would have abandoned him sooner or later anyway."
At the auction, everyone who knew Xu Yang was shaking their heads. They all thought he was indulging in a delusion, actually hoping to become an alchemist with a single Pill Recipe.
In the front row!
Sun Jian looked at Ye Qiuling and smiled. "Junior Sister Ye, someone who knows nothing about alchemy bought the Blood-Coagulating Pill Formula you worked so hard to complete. Don't you think it's a waste?"
Ye Qiuling gave Sun Jian an indifferent glance. "I sold the Pill Recipe for money. Whoever buys it doesn't matter. If you think it's a waste, Senior Brother Sun Jian, why didn't you bid for it?"
Sun Jian shook his head. "I'm not an alchemist either. Buying it would be squandering a heavenly treasure."
Ye Qiuling said nothing more, but her gaze remained fixed on the disappearing figure.
