The Naughty Senior Sister
Aunt Yueyin Unknowingly Pierced the Sick Point of Senior Brother
Su Yueyin blinked her beautiful eyelids and said, "Are you mocking me?"
With that, Yan Xu's smile instantly disappeared.
He still felt a sensation of fear that he himself was trying hard to suppress.
Su Yueyin had thought that Yan Xu had indirectly said that he had little social sensitivity towards the surroundings.
However, he also felt that it was too excessive to have brought up something that was not important at all.
On the other hand, Su Yueyin felt like speaking for longer even though she could not express her intentions properly.
This resulted in Yan Xu who was sitting on the opposite side becoming even more frightened from not being able to understand what Su Yueyin wanted with his cold expression.
"Of course not, Aunt Yueyin. Pupil just try to explain— already, let's skip the section it— ...."
Yan Xu came to a halt as he saw Su Yueyin glaring at him. It was obvious that the other party wanted to ask for an explanation from him. In fact, even a person who is not too sensitive will think the same as what is in his head now.
He cleared his throat once and continued his explanation, "Murid made no excuses for wanting to delay. This affair is very important as it relates to the problem at the Peak of Wind. So, there was no way the Disciple would just ignore it."
Su Yueyin looked into his eyes and said something that made Yan Xu difficult to answer in a while.
"I never asked the details of the business, so you can understand you only give a general picture. It's just, what business is it that makes you hurt so it takes time to rest?"
Su Yueyin's indifferent cold face, turned curious.
An inexplicable mental pressure flowed towards Yan Xu, whereupon he had to choose the right answer.
Neither the matter of the Jiang family nor his relationship with Yaoyao should be known to anyone other than his teacher. If others were to find out this, they would most likely suspect the identity that Yan Xu possessed.
Saying the truth was the most thing Yan Xu had to avoid because he would only be harmed. Conversely, telling lies can also bring him karma that will be troublesome in the future.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yueyin was able to point her sword at Yan Xu's neck just through the current conversation. It made Yan Xu immediately realize that this person should not use his brain too much when talking to him.
Of course, she was also worried about Su Yueyin's unrest being unable to properly express herself. From the second person's point of view, Yan Xu really felt sorry for him.
In this way, it had been decided that Yan Xu could not retreat just because of the unknown mental pressure from Su Yueyin.
"Aunt Yueyin, Disciple will ask this first before replying. This question was asked by a temporary peak elder or a senior to his junior?"
"If you have to choose between the two, no choice comes close to a correct answer between them," Su Yueyin replied as she placed her slender index finger against her chin.
"Eh?" Yan Xu could not help his surprise. It could be said that this was already too much to the point that he had run out of sense to find out!
Su Yueyin continued, "Maybe more of a question from a woman to a man?"
As he said, the true intent of Su Yueyin's question was why Yan Xu could be injured inside. He did not intend to ask what business he had at that time.
"oh-oh ... The student understands."
Yan Xu's short answer simply did not reflect that he really knew the other party's intentions. Instead, he instead looked for a way out so as not to talk about affairs that Su Yueyin did not care about at all.
"Moreover ..." Yan Xu immediately took out a pill with a faint light, the scent as well as the distinctive wealth of medicinal aura that brought comfort emerged from his hands.
"This is a test product that we'll develop later."
He immediately switched their conversation to the main point that Su Yueyin was most interested in.
Taking the pill out of Yan Xu's hands with an extremely careful movement, Su Yueyin began to appraise it and said, "The aura of this pill has a Black level of low quality. According to my observation, this is because the cultivation base of the compounder is still lacking with makeshift equipment, it can be said that this is the best result one can get."
Yan Xu nodded in agreement and said, "Right, Disciple has taken a little time to forge those pills secretly."
"However, as Aunt Yueyin saw, the quality was still at a low black level. In fact, the pill could only show a fragrant aroma, its abundant aura wealth, but there were still flaws ...."
"Hm? I think this is enough. Even though I know less about advanced pill making, my previous remark could sound like praise," the indifferent Su Yueyin replied still observing the pill she had in her slender hands.
Yan Xu let out a heavy sigh and said, "That pill has no veins, neither cloudy nor complexion."
Hearing that, made Su Yueyin turn her face towards Yan Xu. From the expression on his flat face, it was obvious that he was saying, 'Are you joking?'
Unfortunately he did not know that he was piercing the sore point of his own pride for Yan Xu.
As far as Su Yueyin knew about the basis of compounding medicines, that level of black was already at the third level above ordinary and white.
For a beginner, developing a pill that he concocted himself without the help of an alchemist, was tantamount to showing that his talent in concocting medicine was very promising for the foreseeable future.
Why was he still not satisfied when he was able to do that even Su Yueyin herself could not without a guide?
He tried his best to comfort Yan Xu with his cold smile, "Well, it can be said that you have made an excellent breakthrough. Not many people can do this well."
Hearing the praise that felt like an insult, made Yan Xu only smile wryly.
To be commented on with such a compliment and cold expression, Yan Xu felt like he was following an official event with a ruthless jury of his extremely strict judgment.
He did not know whether to laugh or cry with how bad the most quality he could do right now.
Seeing Yan Xu's troubled expression, Su Yueyin became dazed for a moment and once again tried hard to give a compliment properly.
"Don't be discouraged, your alchemy has been good to this extent."
Uhh!
The sentence was even more piercing to the heart of Yan Xu, making him subconsciously grip tightly onto his right chest!
