C17 He Could Only Curry Favor with Them He Couldn't Afford to Offend Them

"Father, today, my daughter met a genius with a talent comparable to my daughter's in the Pill Tao in the Apothecary Guild." Ding Yaoxin still had a cold expression on his face.

Without a doubt, this middle-aged man was Ding Yaoxin's father, the patriarch of the Ding Family, Ding Zhan.

"What did you say?!" Ding Zhan's expression immediately became surprised.

"My daughter saw it with her own eyes. That was a young man in white clothes. His alchemy skill was much higher than my daughter's. My daughter did not lie at all."

Judging from his daughter's tone, it didn't seem like she was lying at all. Ding Zhan immediately frowned, and his expression became even more serious.

"I never thought that there would be a genius of the Pill Tao who is stronger than you in Snow Wind Ancient City."

"Do you know who he is? I might as well send someone to kill him in the cradle."

As he spoke, a hint of killing intent flashed across Ding Zhan's eyes.

"My daughter doesn't know the identity of that young man, and Master Lingchu values him very much. He even took the initiative to take him in as his disciple, but..."

At this point, Ding Yaoxin's expression turned strange.

"What?!" Ding Zhan's expression became increasingly shocked.

He knew very well what his daughter meant by what she said.

It meant that not only could he not make a move against the other party, he had to take the initiative to curry favor with the other party.

That was because his greatest goal right now was to establish a connection with the huge entity known as the Apothecary Guild.

If the Ding Family really managed to climb up to the Alchemist Association, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in Snow Wind Ancient City.

As for the Pill Tao genius that his daughter was talking about, he had already been accepted by Master Lingchu as his disciple. There was no way he would be able to do anything to him.

His daughter's status as the number one genius of the Pill Tao and the future of his family was one of the two choices. He could only choose the latter.

At this moment, Ding Yaoxin continued with a strange expression, "However, he rejected Master Lingchu. He should have become a guest elder of the Alchemist Association by now."

As soon as Ding Yaoxin said those words, Ding Zhan was struck by lightning.

Who among the younger generation of Snow Wind Ancient City didn't want to become Master Lingchu's disciple? Even as the patriarch of the Ding Family, he had to go through a lot of hardships to get his daughter to become Master Lingchu's disciple.

But the person his daughter was talking about actually rejected him?!

What was even more unbelievable was that the person had rejected Master Lingchu, and Master Lingchu had even made that person become a guest elder of the Alchemist Association.

He didn't know what to say anymore.

After a long while, Ding Zhan's mood finally returned to normal. With a serious face, he said, "Yao Xin, you must remember that if you can please that person, try your best to please that person. It doesn't matter if you don't want to please that person, but you must not offend him!"

"Daughter understands." Ding Yaoxin nodded and replied.

After Ding Yaoxin left, Ding Zhan fell into deep thought.

The emergence of a genius who was more talented than Yao Xin in Snow Wind Ancient City had greatly exceeded his expectations.

"That guy, who exactly is he?"

"I only hope that he won't affect our Ding Family..."

...

The sky gradually darkened.

Bai Qingfeng had never left the Apothecary Guild. To be exact, he had never even left the room.

Furthermore, the Apothecary Guild had sent someone to deliver some tea and food to him in the evening. There was no need for him to go out at all.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Bai Qingfeng planned to start cultivating his movement and palm techniques.
