C16 One Origin Sect and Pill Assembly
Song Shengcheng, who was lost in Xia Yanru's facial expression, quickly regained his senses. A wave of unhappiness surged in his heart.
Even when Xia Yanru was facing him earlier, she didn't reveal such an expression. This brat, where did he come from, to actually make his cousin so happy?
Where did this kid come from!
Song Shengcheng felt a chill in his heart, you dare to fight with me, the third young master Song, for a woman, how can you let him go?
Just based on this point, Song Shengcheng planned to properly humiliate him!
Xia Ling was surprised as he looked at the girl.
I'm not really that familiar with her, right? The last time we met she was still fine, so why is she so passionate today?
When he was at Sword Emperor's age, he had seen Sword Emperor's passionate and flattering expression before, but he should still be a Qi-entraining Middle Rank now, right?
Was Qi-entraining Middle Rank worth so much attention?
"Second Miss, I wonder what business do you have with me?" Since Xia Yanru acted so close, Xia Ling naturally wouldn't refuse her. He smiled.
Before Xia Yanru could finish her sentence, she came over and held Xia Ling's hand, saying happily: "We have been waiting for you for a long time. "Come, sit down first. Let's sit down and talk."
When they saw the scene before them, everyone in the room was shocked!
The servant who brought Xia Ling here felt his heart skip a beat as the sweat on his forehead came out in a flash. Why was Second Miss so passionate about this nameless kid?
No, it should be called intimacy!
Even Second Miss treated him with such an attitude.
The attendant couldn't help but recall his previous condescending attitude. With an impatient tone, his body slowly turned cold.
If he told Second Miss about what happened this morning, how would he be able to stay in the inner chamber in the future!
He would definitely be hit by a random stick!
But it took a lot of money to get the housekeeper to transfer him in!
The attendant had a sullen expression, as if his parents were dead.
A fire seemed to have appeared in Song Shengcheng's eyes!
How dare you touch her hand!
To be honest, Song Shengcheng had coveted Xia Yanru for a long time.
Even if it wasn't to nibble away at the power of Xia Family, he wanted this girl!
Xia Family and sisters, both of them were incomparably beautiful. Xia Yanningqing and Han Guyuan were like cold plums, while Xia Yanru was as beautiful as a young lotus.
However, Song Shengcheng had no interest in ice-cold beauties like Xia Yanning, and the delicate Second Miss was more to his liking.
Not to mention that after Xia Yanning left home, Xia Yanru had officially taken control of the family. Patriarch doesn't have a son, if Song Shengcheng gets her, it's the same as getting Xia Family!
This would be of great help to him in seizing the throne in the capital Soong Family.
This was also the reason why he was here today.
But looking at Xia Yanru's current appearance, it was unclear who she was with this brat!
How preposterous!
Xia Yanru chuckled in her heart when she saw Song Shengcheng's infuriated expression. This cousin of his had been arrogant for so long, but now he wanted to block him!
The girl did this on purpose to treat Xia Ling.
As for whether Song Shengcheng would vent his anger on Xia Ling or not, Xia Yanru wasn't worried at all.
What a joke! This was a grade-5 apothecary who wasn't even 20 yet!
Forget about Ningnan City, even in the capital, even if one looked around the entire world, could one find a second person?
He was merely the third young master of Soong Family. Honestly speaking, his identity was not as noble as Xia Ling!
You still want revenge?
As long as the news was released, there would be a lot of Aristocratic Sect willing to stand up for Xia Ling! Let alone a young master of the Soong Family, even if he was an enemy of the entire Soong Family, he probably wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
For such a young fifth-grade apothecary, it was guaranteed that he would be a seventh-grade apothecary. It wasn't impossible for him to reach eighth-grade!
In the entire world, there were only eighth stage alchemists in Super Sect now.
However, Song Shengcheng obviously didn't know.
"Hey, who are you!" With a cold expression, Song Shengcheng slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Xia Ling and said, "Let go of your dirty hands!"
Damn it, if he wasn't in Xia Family right now, he would have already flown over and attacked!
Oh? Xia Ling was extremely sharp. With just a small turn of his mind, he immediately understood what was going on under his eyes.
Xia Yanru was probably angry at this young man?
However, Eternal Sword Emperor is also someone that you can refer to whenever you want?!
Xia Ling smiled calmly and held Xia Yanru's hand even more tightly. "I don't know who you are, and what qualifications do you have to judge other people's affairs?"
Heavens, he actually couldn't let go of her hand.
Feeling the heat in Wu Tie's palm, Xia Yanru's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She originally wanted to anger Song Shengcheng, but she didn't really want to give Xia Ling an advantage.
The girl whispered anxiously, "What are you still holding onto? Let go."
This Xia Ling was really rude.
Xia Ling was a dignified Sword Emperor. What kind of woman hadn't he seen before? Of course, he wouldn't intentionally take advantage of a little girl, so he followed her lead and let go of her hand. He even smiled apologetically at Xia Yanru.
The softness in his hand reminded him of Lu Mengling, the woman he loved. It made Xia Ling's heart ache.
On the other side, the more Song Shengcheng saw, the angrier he got.
"Who am I?" Song Shengcheng pointed at his own nose, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke, "I am the Young Master of the Soong Family of the capital, an expert at the middle level of the Vein Refining, Xia Yanru's cousin! What the hell are you! "
Xia Ling frowned and then quickly let go. He smiled gently, "In other words, you're a popinjay?"
"You!" Song Shengcheng was choked and his face turned red again.
"Alright, Young Master." The alchemist sitting at the side finally could not bear to watch any longer. They came on an important mission and not to fight for the woman's jealousy.
If it wasn't for Song Shengcheng's father's request, as a fifth-grade alchemist, he wouldn't have followed a twenty-something year old child to this place.
Therefore, regardless of whether Song Shengcheng was willing or not, he still had to listen to him.
Song Shengcheng forcefully suppressed his anger and gulped down a mouthful of tea. He directly ignored Xia Ling and said to Xia Yanru, "Since he's the one you're waiting for, does that mean you think this kid is stronger in pill cultivation than Mr. Zheng Yan?"
Zheng Yan was the talent hired by Song Shengcheng's father, a fifth-grade apothecary.
A fifth-grade alchemist, this gave Song Shengcheng absolute confidence in his Ningnan City! Apothecary of this level, not to mention Ningnan City, was unstoppable throughout the world!
After all, One Origin Sect had attracted more than fifth grade alchemists. In the various large clans, even the aristocratic families in the capital had few alchemists of this level!
Just a mere Xia Family, how could he contend against it?
Song Shengcheng had also thought it through. Rather than tangling with Xia Yanru now, it was better for him to master the Xia Family first. After he nibbled away at the power of Xia Family, wouldn't he have the final say on how to play with this girl?
As for this blind brat, he will just kill him straight away!
He laughed coldly, "The southern pill assembly of the One Origin Sect is just around the corner, yet your Xia Family's pill refining industry is being ruthlessly suppressed by your own city's Sun Family. But now, you have to reject my help again. If you are unable to turn around this time, then you will never be able to rise again! "
Zheng Yan also refilled his cup of tea calmly. As a Tier 5 apothecary, he didn't believe that Xia Yanru wouldn't be tempted by this!
Hmph, unless she wants her Xia Family to collapse in her hands!
