The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 882 - 489: Hidden Plans

...

"Is your master Zhong Hui?" Yan Xiaobao suddenly asked. He had originally intended to remain calm and not ask, but upon hearing the words, he couldn’t help but blurt out the question. Only after speaking did he realize what he had done.

When he heard what Yueyue said, Zhong Xi’s face turned as pale as a dead person’s. His eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth. "My master’s name is not for anyone to speak of!"

"That’s not your decision. Your master told me his name is Zhong Hui, and he instructed me to address him by that name. Should I not respect his request?" Yan Xiaobao’s face revealed a fake smile. He wasn’t lying. When he met Zhong Hui at Shen Yun, he did indeed ask Yan Xiaobao to call him by his name, and Yan Xiaobao had to admit that he enjoyed the hostility he saw in Zhong Xi’s eyes. If he could, he would mock the young man’s attempt to kill him; letting him defend himself wasn’t a bad thing.

"Calm down, don’t excessively insult him," Lan Feng sighed and said. "For the alchemist competition, we need him. Without a guide, we would never find the Frozen General’s Frozen Building."

With a sigh, Yan Xiaobao knew Lan Feng was right, so when he decided to stop mocking the man in front of him, he became silent. His porcelain white face turned red with anger, his eyes dark with hidden hostility, but he said nothing. He couldn’t change the demands his master made, no matter how unacceptable they were to him.

"Alright, since he isn’t here, let us use his title, Frozen General." Yan Xiaobao sighed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated. His tense body relaxed, and the obvious anger slowly faded. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"I appreciate your effort." The young man said from where he was seated on the ground, while Yan Xiaobao found a chair to sit on.

"Well, it’s simple. I’ll tell my master you’re willing to participate in the alchemist competition, and he will ensure Sha Yun’s safety. If you win, you can give the reward to the master in exchange for the Snake Woman’s life."

"No hidden issues, no hidden agendas, just win, and she will be safe." Zhong Wei said with a smile on his face. It seemed his earlier anger had never happened.

"If that’s the case, I’ll begin," Yan Xiaobao said, then left the room. He planned to rush to the Alchemy Association to enter the alchemist competition. Anyone who became an alchemist within the last year was allowed to participate, so Yan Xiaobao knew he needed to practice before the competition.

"Why is the master so keen on this particular individual? He isn’t that exceptional," Zhong Wei looked out of the window and said. His eyes once again filled with hostility and killing intent, not weaker than the voice emanating from Yan Xiaobao.

"I will win the alchemist competition, provide the reward for the master, and personally kill that disgusting Snake Woman to return to the Ice Palace. I want to see what he looks like," he said, as Zhong Wei’s face showed a sinister smile. He once again focused on the many components on the floor before him. Although Yan Xiaobao planned to directly go to the Alchemy Association to register for the alchemist competition, he stopped after reaching the second floor. After a moment of contemplation, Yan Xiaobao rushed to the door where he knew Gao Yan was working.

Yan Xiaobao opened the door, walked to Gao Yan’s side, and sat in front of the desk. Looking up, Gao Yan was surprised to see Yan Xiaobao, but he immediately put away his things. It was apparent that Yan Xiaobao was in a bad mood, which was rare for the young man.

"Here," Gao Yan said, handing Yan Xiaobao a glass of wine. "Take it slowly, tell me what happened, and what you need me to do for you." Gao Yan’s eyes showed some worry, his voice filled with anticipation. He was very curious but also fearful of why his good friend was in such a foul mood.

"Sha Yun has been discovered." Yan Xiaobao said in a voice so quiet only Gao Yan could hear. "She’s being held captive by the Frozen General."

Those words revealed a bitter expression on Gao Yan’s face. His job was to handle information and understand everyone on the plane; he immediately understood how terrible it was to have the Frozen General as their opponent. Behind him was a complete army, not to mention his strength as one of the world’s top experts.

"I’ve been told to participate in the alchemist competition. If I win, then I can exchange the reward for Sha Yun’s freedom. I need you to gather information about everyone participating in the alchemist competition; I need to generally understand what skill levels I need to achieve to win."

"Furthermore, there are always people who will influence Zhong Xi; it would be best if you send your strongest men." Yan Xiaobao ordered, but Gao Yan was not offended, he simply nodded in agreement.

"Zhong Xi himself isn’t very strong, but he is undoubtedly a part of the Frozen Brigade. He has been teaching alchemy for a long time, so I think he is very important to the Frozen General. He might have powerful allies protecting him from the dark. If he indeed withdraws your spies, but if he doesn’t, be sure to keep an eye on him."

Gao Yan nodded, approving of what Yan Xiaobao had said. "I will do that," he agreed, and at that moment, Yan Xiaobao saw only the authority Gao Yan used when ordering his subordinates. Although he wasn’t a noble person, there was certainly a noble aura about him. His character transformed from the shameless, lively person in the past to a serious and earnest man.
