Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1474: Donโt Be Impulsive
"Steward Ren, you should ask my Senior Brother Yang Fei these questions, not me."
In response to Ren Tianfuโs inquiry, Han Fengโer answered with an indifferent expression. ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฅ.๐๐จ๐
Though these were her words, she thought to herself, "This father and son duo, Elder Yang Dong and Senior Brother Yang Fei, are both greedy and ruthless, willing to go to any lengths to obtain cultivation resources. That axe is very likely one of the many spiritual artifacts that Senior Brother forcibly seized, which he then gifted to me."
Thinking of this, Han Fengโer smirked coldly to herself.
Han Fengโer understood that she was nothing more than a tool that Yang Fei could toy with at will. The reason he gave her that axe was not out of affection or to curry favor with her, but as a condescending gesture.
Another possibility was that, in Yang Feiโs eyes, the axe wasnโt particularly valuable, which is why he gave it away so casually. With his greedy nature, he wouldnโt have let go otherwise.
"This..."
Faced with Han Fengโerโs indifferent response, Ren Tianfu opened his mouth but didnโt know what to say, and instinctively turned his gaze to Fang Bai.
From the tone and attitude with which Han Fengโer spoke to Fang Bai, Ren Tianfu discerned that Han Fengโer seemed to have some affection for Fang Bai.
And itโs no wonder โ not only is Fang Bai young and handsome, but he can also create mid-grade holy spirit pills. Such a martial artist and alchemist surely easily wins womenโs hearts.
"I believe Miss Han can certainly inquire from your Senior Brother Yang Fei about the details of that axe, right?"
Fang Bai looked at Han Fengโer with a meaningful smile and said.
Normally, for a martial artist like Fang Bai, who was only at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, he should have addressed Han Fengโer as โsenior.โ However, Fang Baiโs status as an alchemist placed him on equal footing with Han Fengโer, even making her seek favor with him.
After all, the gap in cultivation between Fang Bai and Han Fengโer could be bridged with time.
However, becoming an alchemist was almost impossible for Han Fengโer, a feat as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Being the smart person she was, Han Fengโer detected an underlying meaning in Fang Baiโs words and replied with a playful smile, "My Senior Brother Yang is rather aloof and naturally suspicious, so prying information from him would be quite challenging. Of course, if my younger brother offers enough sincerity, Iโm willing to give it a try."
Knowing Han Fengโer wouldnโt do anything for free, Fang Bai extended a finger and said, "I can make another bottle of spirit pills for you! Any type of spirit pill you want!"
Han Fengโer was secretly pleased and bargained, "I want five bottles!"
"At most, two bottles! You must know how difficult it is to make a bottle of spirit pills!"
"Three bottles! If you agree, I can get you the exact information today!"
"Alright then."
For Fang Bai, whether it was three bottles or five, making spirit pills was a breeze. He didnโt want to haggle with Han Fengโer and nodded in agreement.
Han Fengโer left in high spirits to extract the information about the axe from Yang Fei. Before leaving, she left her cousin Xiang Tian behind to "accompany" Fang Bai and Ren Tianfu.
"Things seem to be getting more complicated!"
After Han Fengโer left, Ren Tianfu paced about the room with a worried expression, furrowing his brow.
The issue involving the Lingxu Palace Master and the two elders now implicated the core disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, making Ren Tianfu even more anxious and heavy-hearted.
The axe initially fell into Yang Feiโs hands, and he gave it to Han Fengโer, who then sold it to her cousin Xiang Tian, eventually showing up at a stall in the Martial Artists Trading Market.
Therefore, the root of the problem must have a connection with Yang Fei.
Ren Tianfu even wondered if Yang Fei had been the one to kill Li Sanfu, the Palace Master, and seize his axe.
But recalling Han Fengโerโs words earlier, Ren Tianfu doubted it was Yang Fei who did it. Yang Fei clearly didnโt think much of that axeโs value, so there was no reason for him to seize it.
Still, if it wasnโt done by Yang Fei, then who could it be?
Where were the Palace Master and the two elders now? How did the Palace Masterโs axe end up with Yang Fei? Why was it stained with blood?
These questions bubbled up one after another in Ren Tianfuโs mind. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, almost losing his composure.
"Donโt worry, Steward Ren. The truth will come out eventually."
Fang Bai offered some words of comfort.
"Alas..."
Ren Tianfu let out a long sigh, glanced at Xiang Tian, and then anxiously communicated with Fang Bai using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, "The whereabouts of the Palace Master and the two elders are unknown, and their fates are uncertain. How can I not be worried?"
After a pause, he asked, "Fang Bai, Iโm at a loss and canโt make heads or tails of things. If it truly involves that core disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion, how should we respond?"
Ren Tianfu was well aware that with the overall strength of Lingxu Palace, they couldnโt possibly contend with the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion. Moreover, the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilionโs upper echelon was notorious for protecting their own. Thus, even if it turned out that the Palace Master and the two elders perished at the hands of that core disciple, they would be filled with impotent rage.
"Letโs hope the Palace Master and the two elders are safe. Otherwise... weโll repay eye for an eye, blood for blood!"
Fang Bai didnโt use the Voice Transmission Technique for these words, and after speaking, he slammed his fist on the table with a killing qi.
"Ah?"
Both Ren Tianfu and Xiang Tian were taken aback by Fang Baiโs intense reaction.
Ren Tianfu smiled wryly, "Fang Bai, in their eyes, weโre no different from ants. Donโt be rash!"
His implication was to convey to Fang Bai that the strength of Lingxu Palace was no match for the Alchemy Cauldron Pavilion and acting rashly could lead to severe consequences.
"Once we get Han Fengโerโs information and regroup with Tianlu and the others, we can decide what to do. Until then, we must not act recklessly and bring disaster upon Lingxu Palace!"
Ren Tianfu said at last.
Last night, Ren Tianfu took some time to return to the "Guest Arrival" inn and brought the news to Ren Tianlu and the other disciples of Lingxu Palace. At this moment, they were likely anxiously awaiting further updates.
Han Fengโer was indeed efficient, as she hurried back at noon and met with Ren Tianfu and Fang Bai.
Fang Bai noticed the lingering flush on Han Fengโerโs face, suggesting she had just been intimate with someone. He assumed she had used her body as bait to quickly gather the information and decided to keep a polite distance from her in the future.
"Iโve finally managed to get information about the origins of that axe from Senior Brother Yangโs mouth. However..."
Han Fengโerโs eyes swept over Ren Tianfu and Fang Bai, hesitant to continue.
"However, what?"
Ren Tianfu asked urgently.
From Han Fengโerโs expression, he saw a hint of regret and apprehension, and his heart sank, clenching his fists tightly.
