Xia Bingqing and Liu Wenwen were at a loss for words upon seeing the situation.
They did not disturb Yang Sitian.
However, before Yang Sitian could speak, Wang Nanfeng descended from the second floor and directly approached their location.
Without much preamble, he produced two pills.
One was refined by him, and the other was refined by Chen Fan.
Wang Nanfeng said, "Young friend Chen, your alchemy level is above mine. I should respectfully call you teacher for life..."
Mid-sentence, Chen Fan directly interrupted, "No, you are not my student. Calling me teacher would be an insult!"
Wang Nanfeng smiled, "Young friend Chen, would you be willing to chat upstairs?"
Chen Fan had brought out the pills to gain the Wang family's attention, so this suited his intentions perfectly.
"Alright..."
Wang Nanfeng cast a sideways glance at Yang Sitian and casually added, "You come up as well!"
It was clear that Yang Sitian was an afterthought.
However, even so, Yang Sitian was overjoyed, a brilliant smile gracing his face.
He followed them upstairs.
Taking this step might forge a connection with the Wang family.
Soon, they arrived upstairs...
Wang Ke, upon seeing Chen Fan and the other, did not rise from her seat, displaying the arrogance of a young lady from the capital.
Wang Nanfeng said to Chen Fan, "Young friend Chen, please have a seat!"
Chen Fan did not stand on ceremony and sat opposite Wang Ke.
As for Wang Ke, she did not even lift her head, finding it beneath her to look directly at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan scoffed inwardly, "Just some stuck-up woman, what's there to be arrogant about?"
Yang Sitian was arranged on another side. Fortunately, he had a seat, which helped to avoid much awkwardness.
Wang Nanfeng said to Chen Fan, "Young friend Chen, you must understand my intentions, right!"
Chen Fan pondered for a moment, "Roughly, I grasp one or two."
Wang Nanfeng smiled faintly, "I'd like to ask, your method of alchemy..."
Chen Fan directly interrupted, "I can cooperate with the Wang family, but if you want my refining method, give up on that idea! Besides, you wouldn't be able to learn my methods at all!"
By saying this, he aimed to quash any other thoughts the Wang family might have.
It had to be said, Chen Fan was quite arrogant at this moment.
"Hmph..." Wang Ke let out a cold snort, "You are indeed quite arrogant!"
The young lady finally spoke.
If she hadn't, one might have mistaken her for mute.
Chen Fan calmly replied, "I am merely stating a fact, discussing the matter objectively!"
Wang Ke crossed her arms, still looking down on Chen Fan.
Wang Nanfeng, comparatively, was more polite, "Young friend Chen, what type of pill did you refine?"
Chen Jiulong casually responded, "It can prolong life, and it can also detoxify all poisons!"
Wang Nanfeng was greatly astonished upon hearing this. He had never imagined that this pill could have multiple uses.
Good heavens...
"Wonderful, truly wonderful. It seems I am truly growing old!"
Wang Nanfeng felt inferior.
"I have dedicated my life to the art of alchemy, yet I haven't even grasped a fraction of your knowledge, young friend Chen!"
"Alas... my life has been largely wasted!"
As he lamented...
In the next second, Wang Nanfeng suddenly prostrated himself before Chen Fan. This unexpected scene stunned everyone present, especially Wang Ke. She knew very well that Wang Nanfeng was a proud man within the Wang family, and now he was bowing to an unknown individual.
This...
"Old Wang, what are you..." Wang Ke's expression changed drastically.
Wang Nanfeng said, "Young lady, please do not concern yourself with my affairs. Today, I must take young friend Chen as my master!"
Huh?
Everyone present was stunned...
