Disciplining The Brat

Long Chen recognized the old man, and it wasn’t just Long Chen who would recognize him. In the imperial capital, there were only a few people who wouldn’t recognize him as the alchemist guild’s chairman, grandmaster Yun Qi.

“Senior Yun Qi, this brat suddenly ran over to make trouble. I was just about to expel him,” the old man hurriedly explained when he saw grandmaster Yun Qi.

Long Chen rolled his eyes. Feigning an extremely grateful expression, he said, “You are grandmaster Yun Qi? Wonderful, Long Chen thanks you for the favor of saving his life.”

Originally Yun Qi’s expression was displeased, but hearing Long Chen say this, he couldn’t help but become distracted, asking, “Child, are you misrecognizing me as someone else?

“Misrecognizing? No, definitely not.” Long Chen shook his head. Pointing towards the old man, he said, “Through this grandmaster, my mom paid several thousand gold coins to buy a Tiger Bone Pill from you. Only through this was I able to recover from my wounds. This little one truly cannot thank you enough.”

Hearing Long Chen recount this affair, the old man’s expression immediately changed and Yun Qi’s expression turned cold. Looking at the old man he said, “Guan Cheng, what is this about?”

“Senior chairman, don’t listen to his rubbish-” Guan Cheng hurriedly tried to explain.

“Huh, why aren’t you acknowledging it? To think that the people of our alchemist guild are of such a noble character that they don’t even put their names on the good deeds they do. Only, the matter of you selling my mother a defective grade Tiger Bone Pill is very well known.” Long Chen coldly smiled.

Although Guan Cheng was continuously shooting Long Chen meaningful glances, Long Chen continued to act as if he hadn’t noticed. Did you really think my Long family’s money was so easy to swindle?

Guan Cheng was currently a senior member of the alchemist guild. He was taught a bit by grandmaster Yun Qi, but he wasn’t someone extremely talented.

However, after Guan Cheng had carefully and attentively followed Yun Qi for a few decades, Yun Qi had felt some pity for him and given him the position of an attendant with some low-grade random jobs to do in the alchemist guild.

Occasionally, when he refined a garbage pill, he would hand it over to Guan Cheng to handle. Normally, these garbage pills would have their useful portion extracted out for some medicinal liquids; they definitely would not be allowed to be sold on the market.

This was related to the profession’s integrity. If it was leaked that grandmaster Yun Qi had actually sold a garbage pill, then he would become a joke amongst his fellow alchemists.

Grandmaster Yun Qi sighed. Looking at Guan Cheng he said, “You’ve followed me for several decades, so you already understand my character. Leave and don’t ever come back.”

Guan Chen’s old face became deathly pale. His eyes holding a trace of unwillingness, he begged, “Senior, I…”

“Go.” Yun Qi indifferently responded, waving his hand.

Guan Cheng nearly became paralyzed and fell to the floor. Yun Qi’s declaration was equivalent to expelling him from the alchemist guild.
