Chapter 162
"Did I hear your words correctly? You — someone who has always been telling me to forget about relationships to focus on the Dao of Alchemy — want me to meet someone? You are the last person in this world I'd expect such words from!"
Zhu Mengyi was dumbfounded speechless . Because of her monstrous talent in the Dao of Alchemy, her mother, Matriarch Zhu, would remind her almost every day to focus on Alchemy and nothing else, yet out of the blue, she's being told to meet some young man?
"I know what I have said over the years but this… this is different . You will understand it once you meet him . "
"Ridiculous! I refuse! I will not meet him!"
How could she meet up with a young man right after she told Wu Jinjing that she will be dedicating her life to the Dao of Alchemy?
Matriarch Zhu sighed, thinking in her mind, "Aiya… I knew she would say something like that… Looks like I'll have to use 'that' . "
"If I recall correctly, you really admired Immortal Fairy Su Yue, right?"
Zhu Mengyi frowned when she mentioned her . Like many individuals in this world, ever since she met Immortal Fairy Su Yue, she has been looking up to her as a role model, but why would Matriarch Zhu bring her up in this type of conversation .
"What does Elder Sister have to do with this?"
"What if I told you that this young man is closely related to her?"
"What?!"
Zhu Mengyi's eyes widened .
"I'm sure you have already heard of this rumor, but—"
"This young man is Elder Sister's son?!" Zhu Mengyi quickly said . She didn't believe the rumors at first, but seeing her own mother also mention him, it must be true!
"Impossible… I thought for sure that the Nine Spring Hall had spread such rumors just to increase their customers!"
"Well… I can't say with certainty that he is 100% Immortal Fairy Su Yue's son, but there is a high chance of it being true . "
Zhu Mengyi clearly expressed her disappointment after hearing that it wasn't confirmed . "So it's just you rambling in the end, huh . I should have known better . There's no way someone as elegant as Elder Sister would have a husband, much less a son . After all, nobody in this world is worthy of her . Forget it, I still won't meet him — not even if he turns out to be her real son!"
Matriarch Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "The real reason why I want you to meet him is not because of his status . Have you ever seen a flawless-quality pill?"
"Flawless quality? Isn't that just a legend?"
"Go find core disciple Qing Shan and you will find out whether or not it's a legend . I have told you this on the day you became the Prime Disciple of our Four Seasons Academy, but your Dao of Alchemy has already reached the level where I really have nothing more to teach you . Perhaps, after seeing Qing Shan, you will learn something new . "
"Qing Shan?"
After talking for a few more minutes, Zhu Mengyi decided to find Qing Shan to see what this is all about .
"Senior apprentice-sister Zhu? What are you doing here?"
Although Qing Shan had expected Matriarch Zhu to appear before her, she did not expect the Prime Disciple to be there, too .
"The Matriarch told me to come find you about some flawless-quality pill . I don't know what she's up to but I came here anyway . " She did not hide her intentions and told Qing Shan her reason for being there .
"Ah… so you're also here for that… here you go . . . "
