Chapter 91: Patriarch Feng Wake Up



Chapter 91: Patriarch Feng Wake Up

"Maybe this is presumptuous of me but Miladi Snowy, no Grand Alchemist Snowy, please accept me as your disciple!"

Grand Alchemist Chen Xi's declaration caused Elder Yang to choke, both in mind and in reality.

Crazy! The world had gone crazy!

If Snowy somehow accepted Grand Alchemist Chen Xi as a disciple and then she joined Heaven Swords Sect as a disciple, how should he address him in the future? 

Calling Master Chen Xi as "brother" had already made Elder Yang quite uncomfortable more so call his name directly. It's quite improper to address someone as prominent as Chen Xi that directly.

When imagining a lot of Heaven Swords Sect's disciples would call Chen Xi Junior Nephew in the future, Elder Yang suddenly suffered a terrible headache!

"Brother Chen! You're an elder of the Pill Haven sect, please consider it carefully; don't act on momentarily impulse!" persuaded Elder Yang.

"Position and power, none of them matter to me. If my affiliation with Pill Haven Sects makes it difficult for Grand Alchemist Snowy then I'll just let it go. Wherever you go, I'll follow!"

A trace of unyielding and determined spirit echoed within Chen Xi's words. His expression was solemn; nobody doubt he would do what he said.

Elder Yang also gave up to persuade him anymore. He knew that the old alchemist wouldn't listen to anyone's advice after he decided his mind.

Now, it's all fell on Snowy's decision.

Elder Yang glanced at Snowy who was still looked nonchalant as if the matter hadn't had something to do with her. 

'She was truly exceptional. How can she still calm in this situation?'

Elder Yang highly appreciated Snowy's composure amidst the big choice she faced in. How will she handle this? He waited in anticipation for Snowy's answer. 

On the other hand, Grand Master Chen Xi grew restless due to Snowy's lack of response. He felt a little bit despondent.

'I know that old bone like me didn't have any potential left. It must be a disgrace for Grand Alchemist Snowy to accept me as a disciple. But, how can I let go of this opportunity?' 

After seeing a trace of hope, who would be able to let go easily? But what he should do if Snowy didn't want to take him as a disciple?

A crazy thought appeared on his mind. Even he himself thought that the idea was outrageous for a man of his stature. 

But what could he do? This was the best idea he got and also his last attempt; his future in alchemy was depended on this idea.

"I I know this old man is not worthy as your disciple. I am willing to be your servant instead. Even if it is just one or two casual pointers while I serve you; I'll be content."

All people present flabbergasted by his proposal. 

How many faces he lost to made such a suggestion? Although he was eccentric, as a renowned figure and an elder, he must have still had pride in his own heart. How humiliating it was to offer himself to be under junior's wing?

Even Feng Xue who initially didn't want to meddle in this affair and just stood on the sidelines couldn't help but feel moved.

"Snowy why don't you accept him?" Feng Xue said with a beckoning voice.

Snowy finally let out a small sigh and looked back at Master Chen Xi.

"To be honest, it's not that I don't want to accept you as a disciple but I can't. I only practice alchemy in my spare time and it'll insult you and your dedication if you make a half-hearted alchemy practitioner as a teacher. And also, I don't need a servant, I need a partner or colleague."

"So, I can give you some notes about alchemy and give you some pointers in my spare time. However, I have some conditions."

"What are the conditions?" Master Chen Xi lit up and respond enthusiastically.

"First, I want you to help Feng Family with your best ability when Xue and I are not here. I want you to provide them with medicine that can improve the family's force's overall power."

"Second, I want your help to convince Pill Haven Sect to partner with Feng Family to open a new medicine shop that provides exclusive pills in Phoenix City. I'll give you some Heaven-rank medicine recipes and you mustn't share them with others without my permission. The Pill Haven can provide ingredients and the Feng family can handle the security and pills selling. How the shares are divided, I'll trust the matter to you."

"Can you do it?"

Snowy's squinted her eyes at Master Chen Xi, waiting for his decision.

"Of course, of course! It's just a small matter, just consider it done!" shouted Chen Xi jovially as if he won a lottery.

After hearing his confirmation, Snowy transferred the first section of Alchemy Compendium inside a slip jade and then handed it over to Chen Xi.

"After fully comprehending these notes, I'll give you the next guidance."

Chen Xi spared no second to inspect the content of the jade slip with his spiritual sense. Instantly, he became tongue-tied, "This this"

What he read flipped his view about Alchemy entirely. He felt that the knowledge he had been accumulated was only a drop in the ocean compared to the content inside the jade slip.

'She said she would give me further guidance afterward? How high is her attainment in alchemy, really?'

Remembered that Snowy said that she was only doing Alchemy in her spare time, a helpless smile and a small sigh expressed his envy and awe for Snowy's talent.

Regardless, he still knew his place and tried not to be too greedy.

"Thank you, Grand Alchemist Snowy. This Chen Xi won't forget this kindness even in the afterlife!"

"Don't be so courteous, Old Man Chen. And, just call me by my name next time."

"No, no. I don't dare to call your name directly; it is just disrespectful! How about I call you Lady Snowy, instead?" Chen Xi said adamantly.

"Fine," said Snowy helplessly

"Wow, even someone as prominent as Grand Alchemist Chen Xi is fawning at my Snowy. My Snowy is really formidable!"

"Yes, yes." 

Elder Yang rolled his eyes at his infatuated silly disciple. A woman in love truly saw in the rose-colored lens.

***

"Little Xue, your father has woke up!"

The next morning, Madam Feng's voice woke Snowy and Feng Xue from their sleep.

They had been so comfortable cuddling together and sometimes wake up late because they laze around under the quilt.

They quickly tidied up their dress and rushed into Patriarch Feng's room together while holding hands.

As they entered the room, Patriarch Feng was already sat in the bed with madam Feng beside him.

His face was still a little bit pale but vigor could be seen on his unshaven face.

A big smile appeared on his face when he saw his daughter's face.

Although he also notice some subtle atmosphere between Snowy and Feng Xue, he didn't though much of it.

"Father Father!" Feng Xue swiftly hugged Feng Xuan while sobbing slightly. Relief and joy could be heard within her stammered voice.

"Here, here my little baby Xue Sorry, father has made you worried," Feng Xuan's voice was still a little bit weak but the gentleness in his voice tugged the string in Feng Xue's heart.

"It's okay Father As long as you are healthy, it doesn't matter" replied Feng Xue with a warm smile.

"Uncle Feng, glad to see you back." Snowy followed Feng Xue from behind with a gift in her hand. "This is a pill called Vitality Recovery Pill. It can assist your recovery faster, please take it, Uncle Feng."

"This this extraordinary pill. It's too precious," Feng Xuan surprised by Snowy's generosity and politely declined. An Earth-rank medicine as a gift was indeed too much. 

"No, Uncle Feng. I specifically concocted the pill for you so you don't need to worry about it."

"You can concoct pill too?"

"Of course, Father! There's nothing Snowy can do. In fact, she was the one who had provided the recipe for the medicine, and."

Feng Xue reiterated Snowy's deed from the case of Yan Family's attack to the moment she successfully concocted the antidote for his illness. She told the stories as if it was her own story. Her expression filled with pride and joy. At the end of her story, she looked at Snowy with an affectionate gaze.

Feng Xuan wasn't dense. He could tell there was intimate tense between his daughter and Snowy. Suddenly his expression became complicated.

"Sigh You had done a lot for Feng Family, I don't know how to repay this debt" said Feng Xuan to Snowy, probing her reaction.

"There's no need to, Uncle Feng. After all, I don't want to see Xue and Aunt-"

"Cough, cough"

Obviously, it was Madam Feng who coughing. Snowy glanced at Madam Feng who stared at her intensely.

Snowy smile shyly and corrected her words, "I don't want to see Xue and Mom sad. And of course, I'll also feel sad if something bad happened to you."

"Wait. Are you said, Mom?"

Patriarch Feng looked at Madam Feng who smiled slyly beside him.
