βIt β¦ itβs β¦ itβs him!βΒ Β The girl shouted as she pointed her jade like finger towards Yang Kai, her voice filled with shock.
Hearing this as he tried to wipe off the tea leaves from his face, Dong Qing Han frowned and asked, βWhat do you mean βitβs himβ?Β Β Speak clearly.β
βHeβs the man I ran into outside the valley, the one who grabbed me and threw me to the bad guys!βΒ Β The girl quickly explained.
Dong Qing Han glanced towards Yang Kai then back towards the young girl, his slightly fat face flashing a look of amazement.
[Such a coincidenceβ¦]
Yang Kai was also puzzled. He did not expect this cheeky little girl would appear here, in this Dong Family shop, but seeing how she could sit beside Dong Qing Han at the same table, her status was certainly not low, could she beβ¦
His brow twitching, Yang Kai faintly guessed this little girlβs identity.
βYou dare appear in front of me!βΒ Β The girl said as she remembered the feelings of frustration and helplessness she felt during their first encounter; now with Dong Qing Han and the Wind and Cloud Dual Guards as her support, she immediately felt emboldened, her row of silvery teeth gnashing as she glowered towards Yang Kai, thrusting out her smooth pretty chin proudly, without the slightest lady like demeanor, letting out a mischievous laughter, βHee hee, how does the saying go, no path to the Heavens, no door into Hell, you coming here means youβre death!β
Although she said these words, but her face did not contain the slightest wrath or murderous intent, instead she was simply impishly staring at Yang Kai.
Grinning back at her, Yang Kai asked, βIs this how you treat your savior?β
As he spoke, he lightly knocked her on her head.
The girlβs big eyes squinted as she body shrunk up; quickly hiding behind Dong Qing Hanβs back like a frightened rabbit, grinding her teeth as she glared towards Yang Kai, like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
βEnough with your impudence!β Dong Qing Han fat face shook as he loudly shouted.
The girl immediately followed up, shouting towards Yang Kai, βThatβs right, donβt be so presumptuous!β
βIβm talking to you!βΒ Β Dong Qing Han glared towards the little girl.
βAh?β The girl stammered in shock.
βTowards the man who saved your life, you donβt even say thank you?Β Β Such an important guest has come yet you donβt offer any greetings, do you not have any decency!?βΒ Β Dong Qing Han solemnly reprimanded her.
βI do not want to!Β Β If he hadnβt tossed me back that day, I would have escaped into Medicine Kingβs Valley!βΒ Β The girl stamped her foot and pouted towards Dong Qing Han.
βSuch disrespect.Β Β You get out!βΒ Β Dong Qing Han angrily pounded the table.
The girlβs lips pursed and her eyes watered as she dashed out of the room angrily.
But before she left, she didnβt forget to glare angrily at Yang Kai one last time.
After the girl left, Dong Qing Han smiled wryly while shaking his head, sending a wink towards the Wind and Cloud Dual Guards.Β Β The two of them immediately released their Divine Sense, and a moment later nodded towards Dong Qing Han.
βSit down.β Dong Qing Han waved.
As Yang Kai sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, he frowned and asked, βJust nowβ¦β
βYanβer, youβve met her before.β
Yang Kai couldnβt help but smile, didnβt that mean the relationship between them really was older and younger cousins?
He had never imagined that what she had casually shouted that day would actually be true.
About Dong Qing Yan, Yang Kai had some faint impressions.Β Β However, the only time they had met was almost a decade ago, when she was still just a little girl tottering behind Dong Qing Han; after ten years, how could Yang Kai have recognized her?
βA girl experiences eighteen changes between childhood and womanhoodβ¦β Yang Kai shook his head wryly, not only did he not recognize her, she probably also couldnβt recognize him.Β Β Who could still recall all the memories of their childhood?
βYanβer said a few days ago a youth only slightly older than her rescued her.Β Β I never imagined that person would turn out to be you.βΒ Β Dong Qing Han also let out a long sigh, everything was just too much of a coincidence.
βIt just happened!βΒ Β Yang Kai shrugged, not trying to explain or take any credit.Β Β In the first place, the whole incident didnβt really cost him any effort and seeing how the person he ended up saving was his own cousin, naturally there was nothing else that needed to be discussed.
As the two young men spoke, Dong Qing Yan quietly snuck back holding a piece of ancient jade in her hand; this piece of jade exuded a wave of weak energy that spread out around her, creating a shield that hid all traces of her aura.
This shield was impeccable, not even an Immortal Ascension Boundary masterβs Divine Sense could penetrate it.
In but a moment, like a stealthy cat, Dong Qing Yan had crept up to the door and began eavesdropping on her brother and that hateful manβs conversation.
Yang Kaiβs attitude towards Dong Qing Han was quite relaxed and familiar, which naturally aroused her curiosity; on top of that, her brother had rarely reprimanded her so strictly, even directly telling her to leave.
Dong Qing Yan figured that the two must have something they needed to discuss in private, so her brother had deliberately scolded to send her away.Β Β Her interest having been peaked, she decided to listen in on them to figure out what secrets they were trying to hide.
As the sound of the conversation drifted into her ears, Dong Qing Yan lightly bit her lips as her pretty face flushed with nervousness.
Although she was tense, she also felt excited.Β Β Since long ago, inside the Dong Family home, she had relied on this ancient jade to eavesdrop of an untold number of secrets, so she had long ago become familiar with such activity.
βWhat are you doing here?β Dong Qing Han asked Yang Kai.
βI came here to talk to you.β
βAbout what?β
βI want to visit one of Medicine Kingβs Valleyβs Peaks.βΒ Β Yang Kai replied, going straight to the point, sipping his cup of tea as he looked towards Dong Qing Han, βCan you help me?β
βWhich peak?β Dong Qing Han asked.
βThe Pill Saintβs Peak!β
Hearing this, not just Dong Qing Hanβs eyes narrowed, even the two aloof old men standing behind him also glanced towards Yang Kai.
Dong Qing Han smiled wryly, βThere are twelve peaks in Medicine Kingβs Valley, ten of which are the residences of Great Elders, another one the Valley Lordβs retreat, and the final and primary one is the Pill Saintβs Peak.Β Β It is Medicine Kingβs Valley most forbidden area; if you wanted to enter any of the other peaks, I would have a way, but the Pill Saintβs Peakβ¦ Iβm afraid thereβs nothing I can do.β
βIs there no way at all?βΒ Β Yang Kai refused to give up, he also knew that the Pill Saintβs Peak was a special existence; if not so he wouldnβt have come to see Dong Qing Han.
He could not use the power of the Yang Family right now, but Dong Qing Han was different, as the eldest son of the Dong Family, its future successor, naturally he could make use of the Dong Familyβs influence and connections.
Dong Qing Han frowned as he tapped his fingers on the table, a good while later only saying, βItβs not completely hopeless.β
Yang Kaiβs eyes lit up, βLetβs hear it!β
βIn a little more than two months, there will be an Alchemist Summit.Β Β At that time all of the alchemists from all the worldβs forces from small to large will come here, at that time, they will compete with each other in various alchemy competitions, and the top fifty alchemists will be given the chance to visit the Pill Saintβs Peak, study the Pill Saintβs portrait, and ponder upon the mysteries of alchemy; if you can become one these top fifty Alchemists, you can justifiably enter the Pill Saintβs Peak!
To this statement, Yang Kai rolled his eyes, βDo I look like an alchemist?β
Dong Qing Han shook his head, βOf course notβ¦ but this is the only way to enter the Pill Saintβs Peak unlessβ¦ unless, you become an Elder of Medicine Kingβs Valley.β
Yang Kai could only wryly smile.
Neither of these two methods could be used by him, becoming a Medicine Kingβs Valley Elder was obviously impossible, and wanting to become one of the top fifty alchemists at the upcoming summit was even more ridiculous.
Yang Kai had never even been exposed to the Alchemic Path, seeking for the Dao of Alchemy. How could he suddenly stand above this worldβs Alchemists?Β Β Only those with profound knowledge and achievements would dare to attend this Alchemist Summit.
Thinking over it, Yang Kai couldnβt help but frown.
βIn addition to the Pill Saintβs Peak, if you want to visit any of the other peaks I can think of a way; in fact itβs not actually that difficult either.βΒ Β Dong Qing Han also felt like he had lost face in front of this cousin of his; it was the first time he had asked a favour of him but the result was him ending up having no way to help so he couldnβt help being somewhat embarrassment.
βNot difficult?β
Dong Qing Han smiled, βIn fact itβs quite simple, just find some valuable Precious Treasure, and then to ask a Medicine Kingβs Valley Elder to perform some alchemy for you, this way you can freely enter their peak; however, at most youβd only be able to stay for half a day, if you stuck around any longer, those Medicine Kingβs Valley people would boot you out.Β Β To say nothing of the Elders, even Medicine Kingβs Valleyβs disciples have eyes way higher than the top of their heads, all of them are even more domineering and arrogant than you Eight Great Familiesβ sons.β
Yang Kai shook his head.
Only being able to enter for half a day would certainly not be long enough.
βIf itβs not an urgent matter, then you should first go back and give me some time to think about if there are any other ways I can help you.βΒ Β Dong Qing Han face suddenly became dignified as he wore a very serious expression, βI wonβt ask what it is you want to do in the Pill Saintβs Peak, but I will say this, if you get yourself caught up in any trouble, donβt get my Dong Family involved in it.β
Listening to him say this so seriously, Yang Kai grinned, βWhat is it you think Iβm going to do?β
βwhat the .... is there that you donβt dare do you little brat?βΒ Β Dong Qing Han sighed deeply, βI can only help you think of a way. Even so, my ideas arenβt exactly foolproof.β
βWell, I know.β Yang Kai nodded.
Saying farewell to Dong Qing Hang, Yang Kai went back to his inn and began meditating, trying to think of a way to enter the Pill Saintβs Peak.
The meaning of Dong Qing Hanβs last words to him had been quite clear, he also had no good way of allowing Yang Kai to enter the Pill Saintβs Peak, so he shouldnβt place his hopes on him.
As he was deep in thought, a knock suddenly came from his door, causing Yang Kai to wrinkle his brow, stand up and see who it was.
Looking outside, the one he found standing there was Dong Qing Yan with a shy smile on her face, βHehe!β
She had no traces of hatred or hostility any more, just a hint of friendly curiosity.
βWhat are you doing here?βΒ Β Yang Kai asked as he looked at her curiously.
βYou really are here.βΒ Β Dong Qing Yan took a deep breath and scanned the inside of his room before lightly coughing, βMy brother let me come here to tell you he thought of a way to help you.β
Hearing this, Yang Kaiβs mouth slowly revealed a strange smile, quietly stepping aside and saying, βCome inside first and we can talk.β
Completely unafraid, Dong Qing Yan casually strode into his room.
Looked around the house with great interest, Dong Qing Yan pursed his lips and said, βYou live in this place you?Β Β Itβs so small and dirty, it really isnβt fit for a β¦ *keke*β¦β
Dong Qing Yan also knew that a Yang Family sonβs identity couldnβt casually be discussed so she quickly swallowed back the words she was about to say.
βSo your brother said he thought up a way?βΒ Β Yang Kai looked at her with a big grin.
βEn!βΒ Β Dong Qing Yan nodded quickly.
βDid he tell you that himself?β
βOf course.β Dong Qing Yanβs long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
βThen why didnβt he come here to tell me personally?β
βAm I not doing just that?βΒ Β Dong Qing Yan sat down on the bed, putting on her best innocent serious face, βMy brother said that responsibility for this matter will solely be given to me because he has other important things to attend to outside Medicine Kingβs Valley, so thereβs no need for you to go looking for him.β
