Chapter 107: She doesn’t even have spiritual power, how can she make pills?
Bai Ningyu nodded lightly. Li Shang could say such words in front of the driver Uncle Yang, which meant that he must trust Uncle Yang very much.
For herself, the main purpose of her trip was to go into the mountains with others to look for Ma Ling. As for other things, as long as these people didn't go too far, she would not bother with them for the sake of Li Shang.
The car soon drove to a courtyard. The rockery and carved pavilions in the courtyard all revealed an ancient and elegant atmosphere.
Li Shang first brought Bai Ningyu to a house, and then ordered the servants to bring her food, let her rest there, and take her to familiarize herself with the accompanying personnel tomorrow.
After explaining all this, Li Shang went to the front hall. Old Master Li was sitting in the main seat, and several uncles and younger generations of the family had already rushed over.
Seeing Li Shang coming, the front hall instantly became quiet.
Before he could greet the grandfather in the main seat, a quiet and gentle girl in her early twenties spoke first, asking somewhat sarcastically, "Third brother, I heard that you brought a woman back at this time. Is that true?"
"Li Xingyue, have you learned all the rules?" Upon hearing this, Li Shang did not want to indulge her, his fifth sister.
Li Xingyue was a little angry at Li Shang's criticism and started to act out of temper. She complained to Old Man Li, "Grandpa, look at my third brother..."
But before he could finish his words, he heard Mr. Li say in a slightly serious tone: "Okay, Xingyue, it's no wonder Xiao Shang scolded you. You should learn some rules."
Among these younger generations, the eldest is cruel and narrow-minded; the second is mediocre and not capable of doing anything important; and the fourth is not very steady in his actions and is a bit casual.
At present, it seems that only the third brother Li Shang is okay, and I have brought him up as my heir since he was a child, so I don’t think he would do such an outrageous thing.
But if there really is a woman who dares to seduce his favorite grandson, he will never allow it.
Women are just a spice in life. A boy like Li Shang is bound to achieve great things in the future and must not be dragged down by a woman.
Old Master Li looked at Li Shang and said in a tone that was both dignified and kind: "Xiao Shang, tell me what's going on."
Li Shang nodded, took out a bottle of healing pills from his arms and handed it to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li took the bottle, opened it, and praised, "This bottle of healing pill is of perfect quality. What is it?"
"This bottle of medicine came from Ms. Bai."
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of satisfaction appeared on Grandpa Li's face. He said that there must be a reason why his grandson brought the person back. It turned out that he had recruited a very good alchemist for the family.
"Very good. Now that my Li family has such an alchemist, we will have more confidence!" Old Master Li thought that Li Shang brought the person back as an offering to the Li family, and he was very happy about it.
Li Shang said calmly, "Grandpa, Ms. Bai came here to follow our family into the mountains."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience sighed.
"Third brother, are you kidding me? You're going to bring an alchemist into the mountains? Are you sending her to her death?"
This man was dressed in black, had fair skin, and narrow eyes as deep as pools. He looked like a calculating person. This man was Li Shang's elder brother, Li Jingze.
This time, Old Master Li did not object to Li Jingze's words, but persuaded him: "Xiao Shang, you also know that the martial arts of an alchemist is not as good as that of other cultivators or people with special abilities. Going to such a place is no less than committing suicide. It is better to let her stay in the family to make pills!"
At this moment, Li Xingyue, who was standing by, immediately stood up and said to Old Man Li in a revealing tone, "Grandpa, there's not a single trace of spiritual energy fluctuation coming from that woman. She can't possibly be an alchemist!"
As soon as these words came out, a look of joy flashed in Li Jingze's eyes. He pretended to be surprised and said, "No way, third brother, you dared to deceive Grandpa for a woman?"
"Li Xingyue, who told you that she has no cultivation and can't make pills? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Li Shang was a little angry, his tone suddenly turned cold, and he looked at her with a sharp gaze.
Li Xingyue is the typical type of person who is both inexperienced and playful. Although she doesn't get along with Li Shang normally and dares to talk back to him, she will be afraid if Li Shang is really angry.
"Third brother, don't be angry. We are all brothers and sisters. Don't ruin the harmony over such a small matter. Why don't you ask Miss Bai to come to the front hall and we will know everything." The fourth brother Li Yanchen hurriedly tried to mediate.
Mr. Li ordered without hesitation, "Old Yang, go and call the woman Xiao Shang brought back to the front hall."
Uncle Yang glanced at Li Shang, responded respectfully, and then withdrew.
Although the dishes in front of her were delicious, Bai Ningyu was worried about Ma Ling, so she only ate a few bites.
There was a knock on the door, and Uncle Yang's voice came: "Miss Bai, the master of the family wants to see you. Please follow me to the front hall."
Bai Ningyu responded and went there.
Uncle Yang looked at the woman in front of him. She was of average appearance, but in Kyoto, she wouldn't even be considered a top-notch girl. He didn't know how she could catch the eye of the Third Young Master.
Even if I act like a bad guy and make the Third Young Master unhappy, I can't let him be ruined by this woman.
Bai Ningyu was not unaware of Uncle Yang's hostility, but since she was on someone else's territory, as long as others didn't provoke her, she would pretend not to notice.
Bai Ningyu came to the front hall. Old Master Li, who was sitting in the main seat, was intimidating without even getting angry. She could even feel the pressure that the old man was deliberately releasing.
Oh, is this a way to intimidate her? But sorry, this is what she is least afraid of.
Do any of you, as long as you have some strength, like to show off your power?
Li Xingyue was a little nervous at first. After all, this was something she had inquired about privately with Uncle Yang, and she had not seen it with her own eyes. However, her third brother had been so confident in it. Now, upon seeing her, it was really as Uncle Yang said, an ordinary woman with no cultivation.
Now Li Xingyue could finally laugh at Li Shang without worrying about it. "Hey everyone, look here! The alchemist Third Brother is talking about doesn't even have any cultivation skills. How can he make pills?"
Bai Ningyu was not used to being bullied. When Li Xingyue finished speaking, she understood what was going on and immediately used her mental strength to resist the pressure from Mr. Li.
Mr. Li's expression changed. He naturally felt it. Not only him, but everyone present also felt it. They didn't expect that this little girl was really capable.
Then, Old Master Li withdrew his pressure and said with a smile, "I heard from Xiao Shang that Miss Bai is an alchemist. I didn't expect that she is also a cultivator. She has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. The young are truly formidable!"
Bai Ningyu also withdrew her spiritual energy, acting very calmly and calmly, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Master Li, thank you for your kind words."
Li Xingyue's face turned pale at this moment. It was obvious that this woman had no cultivation at all, so how could she suddenly have cultivation?
Li Xingyue said angrily, "Impossible! You must have used some trick to deceive us! You..."
"That's enough, Xingyue, get out of here! This is so rude!"
Old Master Li shouted angrily, and even if Li Xingyue was unwilling to accept it, she had to shut up and leave the front hall obediently.
But when she was leaving, she gathered her spiritual power and bumped into Bai Ningyu hard when she passed by her.
However, Bai Ningyu didn't take this little trick seriously at all. The moment Li Xingyue approached, Bai Ningyu turned around and walked towards Li Shang and said, "If there is nothing else, I want to go back and refine the elixir as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to make it before entering the mountain."
Li Xingyue didn't expect the target to disappear all of a sudden. She couldn't retract the strength she had used, and staggered directly to the ground. Because she still had accumulated spiritual power, she smashed a big hole in the tiles on the ground.
A woman sitting in the seat quickly stood up and ran to Li Xingyue.
Li Yanchen couldn't help but burst out laughing, then coughed twice to cover it up.
Old Master Li frowned and said to Li Xingyue's mother, "Take him away quickly! This is embarrassing!"
