Pressed by Chu Feng about the gambling debt, Qiao Sheng felt somewhat intimidated in his heart.
He was clever enough to form a good relationship with the Second Prince, using him as a backing at critical moments. When the time came for Chu Feng to demand Silver at Qiao Mansion, he would only humiliate himself.
Seeing Chu Feng at the entrance of the academy, Qiao Sheng was momentarily stunned. Immediately, a cold light shot from his eyes, and his face revealed a disdainful sneer.
The Second Prince and Chen Yanjuan were also filled with hatred towards Chu Feng.
"Oh, I wondered who it might be! Turns out it’s that drowned rat chased out by the Golden Talisman Sect Store!" the Second Prince recalled his display of power a few days ago at the Golden Talisman Sect, feeling particularly pleased.
The expression on Qiao Sheng’s face changed, it seemed Chu Feng had really had a streak of bad luck these past few days.
He immediately asked with an interested smile, "Second Highness, this sounds like a fun story. Why don’t you tell everyone about it!"
Chen Yanjuan was also eagerly urging him, and with the prospect of excitement, many people quickly gathered around.
The Second Prince animatedly described the incident that had happened at the Golden Talisman Sect Store, exaggerating the details. He praised himself to the skies, but disparaged Chu Feng to the mud.
Being humiliated at the Golden Talisman Sect Store was already an embarrassment for Chu Feng.
Now that it was being publicly aired, the mocking, ridiculing gazes could almost glare Chu Feng to death.
"Haha, Chu Feng, I never expected you to just be a bully in your own nest! Inside the Alchemy Academy, you jump around because the teachers support you. Outside, even buying things, you’re splashed out by the shopkeepers, how disliked and trash must you be?"
Qiao Sheng, having been humiliated by Chu Feng several times, harbored a deep hatred for him.
At this moment, hearing about Chu Feng’s outside humiliations and misfortune, he couldn’t have been happier.
"Serves you right! Sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, daring to fancy Miss here, it’s simply like a toad lusting after swan meat!"
"Chu Feng, in what way are you better than our Second Highness? Be it status, identity, Sword Dao cultivation, or alchemy skills, you can only look up to the Second Highness! With your shameless, unaware trashiness, you still dare to pursue Miss here."
"Even if Miss were blind, she would never fancy you! Only the Second Prince is the Prince Charming in Miss’s heart!"
When Chen Yanjuan cursed people, she was truly a Poison Tongue.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Chu Feng did not get angry but instead smiled faintly at Chen Yanjuan and said, "Do you really not know in which ways I am better than the Second Prince?"
A thieving bite cuts deep into the bone.
Chu Feng biting back at Chen Yanjuan immediately made her tremble with rage, her face flushing red.
"You, don’t spit blood at me!" Chen Yanjuan wished she could bite Chu Feng to death.
"Haha, you woman, don’t act like the Second Prince is a fool, okay? Your face has turned as red as a monkey’s butt. Isn’t this the expression of being ashamed and distressed because I uncovered the ugly truth?"
"Moreover, if you were truly pure, how could you understand what I was referring to?"
Chu Feng was essentially infuriating people to death.
As a man, it didn’t matter much to him. Even if someone really believed there was something between him and Chen Yanjuan, they would just praise him for being capable.
But for Chen Yanjuan, it was an absolute disaster.
A girl’s reputation destroyed, seen as a broken shoe, available to everyone. Not to mention marrying the Second Prince as a concubine, even getting married to a decent family would be extremely difficult.
The consequence of offending Chu Feng was destined to be miserable.
The Second Prince’s face had turned a shade of iron blue, and under the public eye, where could he place his face?
Who didn’t know that Chen Yanjuan was his, the Second Prince’s, woman?
"Chu Feng, you will pay for this!" Having said that, the Second Prince left without even greeting Xie Bing and Zhao Gou, his face darkening as he flung his sleeves in departure.
"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation...You must never believe the bullshit Chu Feng says..." Chen Yanjuan cried, chasing after him with a grief-stricken face.
Xie Bing was no stranger to Chu Feng’s trickery, so she did not believe his words.
On the other hand, Zhao Gou’s expression was extremely grim, snorting angrily, "He’s really the scum of the students, playing around with girls, shameless, and even boasting about it in public! He should be expelled."
Under Xie Bing’s consolation, Zhao Gou finally managed to quell his anger with great difficulty.
The three of them hurried along, and after a half-hour, they finally reached their destination.
"The Grand AlchemyTaoist Master who you helped introduce, is he a pill master at the Golden Talisman Sect Store?" Chu Feng recalled the scene a couple of days ago when he was thrown out, a faint killing intent stirring in his heart.
He had not expected Zhao Gou to bring him to the Golden Talisman Sect Store.
"Hmph, what else did you think? Alchemist Huang Qingshan is the Grand Alchemist at the Jianyun Store of the Golden Talisman Sect, also recognized as a towering and guiding figure in the Alchemist Realm of the Jianyun Dynasty."
"Ordinary alchemists, even Third Grade Alchemists, finding it extremely difficult to meet Grand Alchemist Huang. It’s only because I have some abilities that I gained Alchemist Huang Qingshan’s favour and can meet him anytime."
Zhao Gou appeared extremely proud, holding his head high proudly.
"Mmm, Teacher Zhao Gou is amazing! That Grand Alchemist Huang is even more amazing!" Chu Feng kept nodding, his facial expression exuding a trace of weirdness and eeriness.
So it turned out, the big shot who was to be introduced was the Grand Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store.
If that Grand Alchemist Huang knew that Chu Feng had become a Guest Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store, I wonder if he would still dare to talk about mentoring in front of Chu Feng?
The position of a Grand Alchemist is indeed not low, but compared to a Guest Alchemist, it does not have an advantage.
On the contrary, it is somewhat inferior.
The store’s Grand Alchemist is equivalent to a technical director, while a Guest Alchemist is akin to an honorary dean or academician. The former does not have freedom, the latter is just holding a title, yet the power and treatment they enjoy are not inferior at all.
Comparing the two, the better one is immediately obvious.
"Chu Feng, you just wait on the first level of the store! I will go up first, and if Grand Master Huang agrees to see you, remember, once you go up, you don’t need to worry about anything else, just kneel on the ground and kowtow."
"Don’t be afraid of being cheesy then, just say whatever words are pleasing to hear."
Having said that, Zhao Gou nodded smilingly at Xie Bing, then went upstairs very dignifiedly.
Chu Feng thought it just happened to be a good time, why not buy a better carving knife, and also purchase some Golden Talisman Elixir materials to take back.
He walked towards the counter from which he was ousted the last time.
Enemies are bound to meet, unexpectedly the damn bastard, the Second Prince, was also inside the store.
However, the Second Prince wasn’t buying things at the moment, but was proudly selling the newly refined Golden Talisman Elixirs.
