"That's right. Third Brother, has my seclusion gone smoothly?" Patriarch Xuan Zhen asked.
All these years, he had focused his energy on cultivation and alchemy. He had basically stopped managing the sect's affairs. He only knew about Patriarch Xuan Chen's plan but did not participate in it.
"Second Brother …" Patriarch Xuan Chen paused and said sadly, "It's not going well. Second Brother, something big happened a while ago!"
"What? Something big happened? What happened? " Patriarch Xuan Zhen's expression froze. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Patriarch Xuan Chen. "What happened?"
"Second Brother, Tagan Long has been crippled!" Patriarch Xuan Chen sighed and said bitterly.
"What? Tagan Long has been crippled? "Patriarch Xuan Zhen was shocked when he heard that.
"What's going on? How did he get crippled? "
"Second Brother, it's like this …" Patriarch Xuan Chen explained Tagan Long's situation to Patriarch Xuan Zhen. When he was done, he said, "Originally, I placed my hopes on Second Brother. I thought that after Second Brother came out of seclusion, he would be able to refine grade-four elixirs. Then, he would be able to refine the Great Return Pill and the Great Meridian Channel Conduit Pill, but …"
"If he could refine a grade-four elixir, Boss would also …" Patriarch Xuan Zhen smiled helplessly. "I haven't been able to make any breakthroughs in the past three years. I reckon that in the next few years, I won't be able to make any progress. There's no hope for a grade-four elixir …"
"So, I acted on my own and activated the backup plan. After all, a person with a five-elemental constitution is quite difficult to find. After searching for so many years, we finally found Tagan Long, a one-in-a-billion person with a compound constitution …" Patriarch Xuan Chen said.
"The backup plan …" Patriarch Xuan Zhen nodded. He knew a thing or two about the backup plan, but it wasn't too detailed. "Are you confident about the backup plan?"
"The chances … are fifty-fifty. Whether or not the spy succeeds will depend on what happens next," Patriarch Xuanchen said. He lowered his voice and whispered in Patriarch Xuanzhen's ear.
Patriarch Xuan Zhen invited them to eat.
Patriarch Black Earth was actually afraid that Little Fool and Little Three would hear it. After all, only he and Little One knew about this matter.
Xuan Zhen ancestor nodded and said, "I hope it will succeed. I didn't think that such a big thing would happen during this closed-door training …"
"There's nothing I can do. If I don't succeed this time, I can only slowly search for someone with a suitable physique …" Patriarch Xuanchen sighed helplessly.
"Taganlong, other than using Grade 4 pills, is there no other way to recover?" Patriarch Xuan Zhen asked.
"Second Brother, you can go and take a look. Other than that, I really can't think of any other fortuitous encounters …" Patriarch Black Earth said.
"Let's go take a look then …" At this point, Patriarch Xuan Zhen could only try his best.
The two of them quickly came to the room where Tagan Long was recuperating. Although Tagan Long's injuries were under control, he had not woken up yet. His pulse was very messy, and Patriarch Xuanchen was only temporarily holding onto his life. It was impossible for him to recover.
Patriarch Xuan Zhen carefully felt Taganlong's pulse. His brows furrowed deeply, and he remained silent for a long time …
… …
In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to end at noon. There was no class in the afternoon, so Lin Yi said goodbye to Wang Xinyan and walked out of the classroom with Han Jingjing.
Zhaolong wanted to go over and talk to Wang Xinyan, but thinking of the embarrassing incident today, he gave up in the end. He guessed that if he talked to Wang Xinyan now, she wouldn't give him a good attitude, so he could only give up.
Moreover, he had an appointment with Right Coiling Tiger to go to the natural ski resort in Jidun City to investigate first, so he left the classroom with Right Coiling Tiger.
"Big Bro Lin Yi, are you trying to scam Right Coiling Tiger's herbs again?" Han Jingjing asked Lin Yi after leaving the classroom.
"Yes, we don't have any herbs on hand, so we can only get them from Right Coiling Tiger again," Lin Yi said. "Since this kid came to us voluntarily, there's no need for us to let him go."
"Oh, then how do you need Jing Jing to cooperate?" Han Jingjing nodded. She didn't refute Lin Yi's suggestion at all.
"Next time he comes to talk to you and asks you something, just say that you lack herbs. Every time he comes, you ask him for herbs until he realizes that he's been tricked and stops falling for it," Lin Yi said.
"Yes, yes," Han Jingjing nodded. "After Right Coiling Tiger realizes that he's been tricked, he won't look for trouble with me, right?"
"If he does, just tell him that I'm the one who told you to do this. Tell him to come to me," Lin Yi took the trouble directly. He wasn't afraid of Right Coiling Tiger.
"Jing Jing understands," Han Jingjing nodded.
There were no classes in the afternoon for medicine, but Mengyao and Yushu had classes in the afternoon. Lin Yi called Mengyao and asked her to have lunch together.
Lin Yi and Han Jingjing arrived at the economics faculty's building, and saw Mengyao and Yushu not long after.
Seeing the smile on Yushu's face, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shu's problem was solved, but Lin Yi couldn't figure it out. Who was the one who told Shu to assassinate him?
Who could order Shu around? Or, in other words, what reason did they have to make Shu do this? It was just that Shu didn't want to talk about it, and Lin Yi couldn't force her. As long as she looked fine, Lin Yi was relieved.
Lin Yi looked at Mengyao, and Mengyao nodded at him, indicating that Shu was fine.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Lin Yi asked. "Do you want to eat in the cafeteria or outside?"
"Let's eat outside, Shu wants to have a big meal," Yushu said after some thought.
Today's incident allowed her to get away with it, and it made Shu feel like she survived a disaster. Especially since she didn't have to target Lin Yi anymore, she was very happy. She wanted to have a big meal to celebrate.
"Okay, let's go out for a big meal," Lin Yi nodded.
"Should we call Xinyan sis?" Yushu suggested.
"I'll ask." If Lin Yi was eating in the cafeteria, he wouldn't call Xinyan, but it was better to ask if he wanted to eat outside. He dialed Wang Xinyan's number and asked, "Xinyan, where are you? Jing Jing, Yaoyao, and Shu are going out to eat, do you want to come? "
